From the cliffs of Big Sur and the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park to the romance of Italy and the coastal charm of Charleston, I capture elevated, light-filled imagery for couples who want their wedding experience to feel intentional, adventurous, and deeply meaningful.

She made us feel completely comfortable and confident, and we truly had an absolute blast every minute we spent together. And of course, the photos themselves are stunning. The detail shots alone speak volumes—she somehow captures the magic in things you wouldn’t even think to notice. Keely literally flew across the world to photograph our wedding in Italy, and then went to unbelievable lengths (yes, including tracking down fresh produce!) to make the detail shots and scenic memories feel authentic, intentional, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a photographer for any occasion, I cannot recommend Keely highly enough. She is truly one of a kind, and we feel so lucky to have had her capture our wedding season.
"I truly cannot recommend Keely enough. From our very first consultation, she felt like an old friend—her authenticity, warmth, and passion stood out immediately. She is incredibly attentive, responsive, and communicative, and genuinely such a joy to work with from start to finish.

She’s so fun and made us feel very comfortable both during our engagement session and on our wedding day. She told us how to pose, but also gave us space to do whatever happened naturally. Keely is so fun to be around and came prepared to ensure we got everything we wanted out of our wedding day. As a photographer she does a phenomenal job capturing all the emotions of such a special day, and her photos are truly timeless."
"Keely is the best of the best!!
