For the thoughtful. 

More than beautiful. Meaningful.

For those who think deeply, love deliberately, and believe beauty is a kind of truth.

Hi, I am Kelli, an editorial wedding photographer in Portland, Oregon — serving the West Coast and beyond with timeless, artistic wedding imagery.

If Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig hosted a wedding in a hidden garden, I’d be the one quietly watching while catching the half-drunk toasts, the slipping flower crown, the quiet pause before someone begins to cry.\

I photograph weddings that feel like home; grounded, artful, and full of care.

You might be an artist, a therapist, a designer or maybe just someone who notices the light through trees, who lingers in bookstores, who chooses meaning over trend. You care deeply about how people gather and why it matters. So do I.

Most of my couples marry in places that carry weight:
A family home in the San Juans.
A public garden they visit every Friday.
A summer camp layered with childhood memory.

I’m based in Portland and travel across the West Coast and beyond, documenting weddings for people who live with intention, love with humor, and find beauty in the smallest details.

The weddings I photograph are calm, grounded, and editorial in style with an eye toward what matters most.

You won’t find flashy language here. Just honest imagery. Photographs that hold what words often can’t.

If you're drawn to beauty that lingers and quiet moments that speak for themselves; welcome. I’d be honored to document your day.

This isn't about stiff poses or performative moments. I'll be the steady hand in the swirl — gently guiding, laughing with you, helping you exhale through the joy, the nerves, and all the quiet in-between.
Think of me as your thoughtful observer. Your enthusiastic third wheel.
The one who notices what matters and photographs it with the utmost care for you.

Now booking for 2025 and 2026.

If you're drawn to the feeling in these images, I’d love to hear about your wedding plans. Every story is different—let’s find the approach that feels most like you.

“Kelli felt like a sister — calm, kind, and completely present. She held space for us with such compassion that every anxious moment just melted away. The photos? We look at them all the time. Our friends say they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen — and our East Coast family said they felt like they were there with us. 5000% yes, we’d do it all again just to have Kelli by our side.” - Emily and Ryan

“Kelli photographed our elopement in Muir Woods, and not only did she deliver the most beautiful photos, but she also became a soulful sidekick throughout the day. She even inspired a post-wedding hike in the Marin Headlands that brought my Victorian-gothic-romance dreams to life. Her artistry and sweet nature made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. The images are filled with emotion, and the colors perfectly capture each moment. We feel so lucky to have found Kelli; she’ll always be part of our wedding memories!” - Rebecca Darling

I photograph weddings the same way I live — by following the light. In the laughter, in the way the sun moves across your loved one’s face, in the tender moments. I’m here to capture your day with honesty, artistry, and care.
