Michele + Tom – Married at Embry Riddle Chapel in Prescott Valley, AZ

By Kelley / August 26, 2019 /

My wedding couples are all so different. And perhaps that is because I photograph people who value other people. So they don’t fit into a box of qualifications, Rothy’s shoes, and snapchat filters to make them look alike. These two getting married at Embry Riddle Chapel was perfect for them.

Renee + Rob’s Intimate Wedding At Minnehaha Falls

By Kelley / October 23, 2018 /

I don’t think it’s a secret that I limit the number of weddings I photograph each year. While they’re hard on my body and I generally can’t walk the next day because my body is so sore from non-stop squats and stretches while carrying 20-30 pounds of gear on my shoulders, that’s not the main…

By Kelley / January 22, 2018 /

I have photographed these guys for the last three years. It is fun seeing the boys get taller. They are growing up and changing. Yet, their sweetness stays the same. For my folks who value photography and I know want to make new photographs every year, I stay in touch and share when I have…

By Kelley / August 14, 2017 /

Brinkley’s senior session started in Roswell Mill. And it ended here. On the Gulf of Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida. We had tentatively scheduled it for a Wednesday evening and then moved it up two nights because of a forecast filled with storms and rain that covered all the hours. Brinkley’s family was worried…
