Destination Asheville NC Wedding At Memory Mountain At Wolf Laurel – David + Amanda Got Married!

By Kelley / November 21, 2016 /

Love is a hard thing to describe sometimes. How it makes you feel. How it changes you. How it ignites a fire inside your soul that no one else has ever come close to sparking. How it doesn’t necessarily make any sense. But ever since I met David + Amanda, the love that they share…

Kimber + Devlin – MARRIED! {Como Conservatory, St. Paul MN Wedding}

By Kelley / September 7, 2015 /

The weather this week in August was a little weird. It had been in the 90s until the day I flew into Minneapolis several days before Kimber + Devlin’s wedding, at which point it dropped into the 60s. Rain clouded the forecast. For days on end. And then it miraculously shaped up, the temperatures climbed…

Kimber + Devlin – MARRIED! {Happy Gnome, St. Paul MN Wedding Reception}

By Kelley / September 7, 2015 /

I drove ahead of Devlin + Kimber and had time to set up lights in the Firehouse Room of the Happy Gnome before going back outside to meet them when they walked up. This gnome sits outside of this fine establishment, waiting to greet every guest. We made a few portraits outside of the Happy Gnome. Then we…

North Georgia Mountain Wedding In Big Canoe – David + Christine – Married!

By Kelley / December 29, 2014 /

Christine and David exchanged vows in the North Georgia mountains in mid-October. The day was absolutely gorgeous, with a break in the rain that we’d had for days.  It was just a few weeks prior when Christine and I first spoke. The location was still up in the air. She knew she wanted a waterfall…

Do You Believe In Ghosts?

By Kelley / September 5, 2014 /

It’s been awhile since I shot this wedding.  I’ve never shared this image publicly, but it continues to perplex me.  And even though my wedding contracts grant me permission to use any image publicly, I asked specific permission on this one as I don’t want to ever embarrass or make my couples or families uncomfortable…

Why Do You Chop Off Their Heads?

By Kelley / June 4, 2014 /

I hear that question sometimes.   Or I see comments on facebook, stating that, “I can’t see anything above his nose.” These questions and comments make me smile.  The photographs aren’t accidents.  And they’re some of my favorites.   They take the focus off the person (or people) as a whole and put it on the moment in time.  And…

Chris And Joy Got Married {Acworth Georgia Outdoor Lake Wedding}

By Kelley / May 14, 2014 /

Although these two were high school sweethearts, it took a couple of decades for them to find each other again. It seems fitting that they got married in the little chapel on the shore of Acworth Lake where they grew up. Hiking and exploring the surrounding woods in high school. And fishing for dinner just…

Lake Acworth Intimate Wedding – Sneak Peek

By Kelley / April 21, 2014 /

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Joy and Chris’s wedding at Lake Acworth.   Only their family and their children were in attendance.  The wedding ceremony was inside this little chapel.  The cherry blossoms overhead were so gorgeous.  And the rain gave us a break.  For the most part. Joy and Chris walked down…
