Photographer & Videographer

Colorado wedding photographer Specializing in weddings, elopements, and boudoir

Capturing timeless, romantic and fun wedding photos!

I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about way more than just hiring someone with a camera. Your wedding photographer should be someone who you enjoy hanging out with, can make you laugh, excites you, and someone who eases the wedding day jitters. My style is very natural and candid, and there are never any “what do I do with my hands” moments. I have no problem telling you to tweak your arm or move your hair without being over the top.

My goal is to have fun and make you look your best while capturing real emotion. Seriously, you’ll have so much fun that you’ll forget I’m even taking photos! I think the best moments in life are the ones that can’t be replicated and my goal is to capture those moments.

There are no tacky prom photos here! If boring and awkward photos don’t excite you, then you’re in the right place! I keep things as natural and true to color as possible! Each wedding and elopement is so different from another which is why your photos shouldn’t blend in with every other album! Every one of my photos is individually chosen and edited myself so there is no batch editing here! Candid photos are my jam so you can always expect vey natural feeling photos and a lot of laughs along the way!

Hi, I'm Kelsey!

I’m a Colorado wedding photographer and videographer who loves the outdoors, people… and people who love the outdoors! Some of my favorite things in the world are traveling, road tripping, desserts, horror movies, music festivals, art, yoga, camping and yes, my two cats, Ouija and Voodoo. I’ve been in art classes since I was old enough to hold a pencil and even have a degree in Videography and Graphic Design! Let’s meet for coffee and I’ll tell you why you’ll want me to photograph your wedding or elopement!

TESTIMONIALS

My husband and I eloped in a small mountain town in Colorado...Being something we planned quickly, we had to work with what we had if you know what I mean. Long story short, Kelsey is basically an angel from heaven. Literally, she found the dopest spot with the most beautiful scenery. Trees, mountains, and snow. Our friends think the pictures should be in a magazine LOL She captured so many special moments from the beginning, middle, & end of the elopement. It was cold but we suffered through it and I am forever thankful we did. We have the most perfect photos and memories because of Kelsey. I was surprised to see how many photos she provided in the final gallery. I honestly did not expect that many photos. So that was amazing. Kelsey is so sweet. During the session, my husband and I were literally having so much fun that my veil flew away & we did not even notice. Kelsey ran and grabbed it for me from the snow. So sweet. If you're anxious, don’t be. Kelsey is personable & made us laugh! We were able to be ourselves, laugh & kiss. I was impressed with how quickly we received our photos. I didn’t expect to receive so many so quickly and they were perfect. I have received so many compliments from friends and family about the pictures. The entire experience was perfect. Without Kelsey, our day wouldn’t have been as memorable as it was

I’ve had Kelsey do pictures for me for years now! She’s always made me feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not easy) and she’s incredible at posing in ways that look natural. I had her do my engagement photos and my elopement photos and she couldn’t have captured my husband and I better. She literally captured our day in a way that told the day beautifully and made it look like a fairy tale. I received a beautiful balance of posed and candid photos. I cannot flaunt her work enough! Thank you so much!

Kelsey is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing human. I am personally very awkward and uncomfortable posing for photos, but she always makes me laugh and feel confident when she is taking pictures. I have used her twice now and both times I have received professional, high quality pictures. Highly recommend!!!

Kelsey recently took absolutely BEAUTIFUL photos of my boyfriend and me and we couldn't be happier! Not only was she fun and so easy to shoot with, but she also knew different locations in the area and helped us find the perfect setting. She asked us questions about what we wanted from these pictures and how we wanted them to look, and she knew just what to do to get the best pictures! Kelsey was amazing to work with and we will definitely be back to have more pictures taken in the future!! Highly recommend for ANY occasion! -Rosie

Kelsey is THE BEST! She did an amazing job on my sons Senior pictures. We are from Texas and having his pictures made in his favorite places Silverton/Purgatory were important to us. She went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect.

What set’s me apart from other wedding photographers?

I totally get it! Trying to decided on your wedding photographer is a big decision and can be stressful. Here’s a quick little rundown about what’s it’s like to work with me and my background in the wedding industry. What sets me apart from other wedding photographers is not that I’m chock-full of dad jokes and brimming with positivity (I also think I’m funny). But I’ve been doing this for a long time because I LOVE what I do. I’ve shot close to 100 weddings and elopements combined. Photography and art have always been my passion and I LOVE weddings. I even helped out at a bridal dress shop when I was in middle school which sparked my love weddings and elopements! I love meeting new people, telling their stories, and capturing emotion. Capturing sneaky candid photos throughout the day is also a little trick I’ve mastered. I’ve lived all over Colorado and have been photographing weddings and elopements in Colorado specifically for 5 years now! I can some of the most beautiful private locations in the state!

I have over 8 years of professional photography experience shooting in low-light music venues, fast-paced moving sports, commercial products, and food photography. All of these skills contribute to successfully photographing and organizing a wedding day! I learned photoshop in 7th grade (Well, I made a pretty epic galaxy collage with a dinosaur if you were wondering) But on a more serious note, I am a photoshop wizard and I will always go the extra mile to remove light switches, obvious face blemishes, and any crazy fly-away hairs! You can relax knowing I will strive to make your photos look the best they can!
