  • Serves Athens, PA

Hi, I’m Kiley, the heart behind the camera 🤍 I’m an outdoor lover, happiest chasing golden light, open landscapes, and those in-between moments that feel like magic. When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m a mom to two beautiful kids who inspire everything I do, they’ve shaped the way I see connection, emotion, and the little details that matter most. I’m adventurous, easygoing, and the kind of person who truly wears my heart on my sleeve. I believe the best photos come from real connection, so I make it a priority to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and completely yourself.

On the day of the wedding, they were easy to talk to and helped keep things running smoothly despite the usual wedding day anxieties. The photos they captured were simply beautiful, with great attention to detail and skilled editing. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend KiLo-HG Photography to any couple looking for talented and professional wedding photographers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I'm a Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York Photographer from Scranton, Pa. I began my journey as a wedding musician, playing in countless bands in Pennsylvania. It wasn't until the birth of my son that I was thrust into the world of photography. As soon as I snapped my first photo of him, I found the beauty of photography. I quickly noticed the parallels between the music I create and the photos I was taking. The balance between light and dark, joy and sadness, bold and muted, energetic and relaxed intrigued me and drove me to this passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Eric was SUCH an amazing find for our wedding at Camp Bluestone. He was fun, creative, kind, and captured our day perfectly. Our photos were so bright and candid, I have so many printed throughout our home and they are such a source of happiness. Eric was wonderful and I would highly recommend him for your big day.

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess is a master of her craft and we could not imagine having chosen anyone else to capture our wedding day. Working with Jess is like working with a close friend — she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping us pose (and making us laugh) for shots that truly blow our minds and fill our hearts. She expertly captured our individual personalities and dynamic as a couple, the vibrant color of our event, and the energy and happiness that filled the room. We are indescribably happy and grateful to have worked with such a talented, thoughtful, hilarious, and creative human to make the memories of our wedding day last forever in her incredible photographs.

Hi, I’m Kelly 🤍 and I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. My goal isn’t just to take photos—it’s to document your day as it actually felt. The big moments, the quiet in-between ones, and everything you didn’t even realize was happening. I’m known for helping my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you think you’re awkward—I promise you’re not) Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a full-day celebration, I’ll help guide you through your timeline so nothing important is missed—while still leaving space for real, candid moments to unfold.

KellyB Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first reached out, the communication was fantastic. We communicated via text, but it was very easy to get ahold of her. And texting in this day and age is the fastest way. KellyB was responsive, professional, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. The photos she captured of our special day are absolutely stunning - she has an incredible eye for detail and making sure we had fun while taking them. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend KellyB Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer. She truly captured the essence of our gothic Romance.

I’m a high energy self taught photographer, I started this beautiful journey 4 years ago. Lucid Memories Photography by Delycia has been published in about 15 portrait magazines and participated in countless collaborations with other great small businesses in my area. I fell in love with telling couples love stories so quickly! There was something about photographing two people in love and telling their story. I firmly believe your photos should show you and your partners personalities. There’s nothing better than being able to be comfortable, and act like yourself for those lifelong pictures!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Delycia as our wedding photographer was truly perfect. We recently received our photos, and they are an absolute dream. We booked with her two years in advance, and in that time our wedding plans changed a few times — from a big traditional celebration to a private ceremony and intimate dinner. Through every change and update, Delycia was so kind, patient, and supportive. She stuck with us through the entire journey and delivered the most beautiful photos to reminisce on our day. Not a single moment was missed. We have stunning family photos, friend photos, bridal and groom portraits, candids, and of course our couple portraits — and every single one is amazing. We even decided to order a print book because we love them so much. We couldn’t recommend Delycia more.

We received so many compliments on how AMAZING the food was for our wedding, and we felt the same way during our tasting.

Your engagement and wedding images should exemplify who you are as a couple by being both playful and romantic. Creating an atmosphere that allows you to feel comfortable and beautiful while enjoying each moment is so important. These are more than just images, these are moments. Worried about posing or how you will look in the photo? Not to worry I will notice the awkward details and fix it before it becomes a problem. Aside from taking posed photos, I pay extra attention to candid shots, as well as the emotions from your special day! I want to be your biggest fan the day of your wedding.

Kelly and his small team were absolutely fantastic to work with! We had a 50-60 person wedding there in August. The venders list and recommendations they provided were absolutely key in planning our out of state wedding in only a few months. We had an unexpected last minute change in lead photographer and they made sure she could see the venue a few days prior to get the lay of the land. They were able to make special accommodations for handicapped guests. Their day of coordination made sure the day of went off without a hitch which left us stress free. Lastly, from the barn to the ceremony site and everything in between was absolutely picturesque truly an amazing venue and experience all around for our special day!

And they let us “dance in the clouds” at all the perfect moments. It was the best surprise when the clouds appeared again during the anniversary dance and our final dance.

They read the room well, and they checked in with us about the schedule a few times throughout the night to ensure we were happy with the flow and confirm we were ready for the next thing.

I would happily recommend Candy Rose for your event styling needs. They excel at making your hair and makeup vision while sticking to schedules. Just be cognizant of their cancellation policy requiring 14 days notice, otherwise 50% fees apply. They follow the contract to a tee and changes 12 days before were NOT accommodated. They don’t contact your bridesmaids about this either so it is 100% up to the bride to communicate the cancelation policy to bridesmaids, which was not clear to me or my bridesmaids. Aside from that disappointment, working with Candy Rose was a dream. Their corporate approach kept us on track to celebrate in style.

Gavin Esham is a Pennsylvania-based wedding and event planner who combines artistry, creativity, and organization to craft meaningful celebrations. With a background in opera, theater, and dance from Northwestern University, he spent years performing on stages across the world — from international venues to Broadway. That experience gave him a unique perspective on timing, flow, and the energy it takes to create unforgettable moments. After stepping away from the stage, Gavin was recruited into the world of events, where he discovered his passion for guiding couples and clients through the planning and design process

He made the entire planning process feel effortless, organized, and (dare I say) fun — even from thousands of miles away.

Gavin anticipated things I never would have thought of and made sure everything ran flawlessly on the big day. I was able to truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding turned out to be everything we imagined and more — stunning, joyful, and perfectly “us.” Guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was!

If you’re looking for a stylist who is insanely talented, professional, and just the kind of person you want by your side on your wedding morning- Kira is your girl. She’s truly the best in the business.

  • Serves Athens, PA

Memorable Events by Mel offers day of coordination, partial planning, and full service planning designed to create a seamless and well executed wedding from start to finish. With a background in hospitality management and years of experience in weddings and events, I bring a calm, organized, and hands on approach to every celebration. Whether you are looking for support in the final weeks or full guidance throughout the planning process, I tailor each service to fit your needs. My role is to keep everything aligned, organized, and running smoothly so you can stay present and fully enjoy your wedding.

Melanie exceeded every expectation. I initially hired her to decorate my wedding ceremony and reception space since my venue did not provide those services. I ended up utilizing her for so much more! She ran my rehearsal dinner, reviewed all of my contracts, coordinated timelines with all of my vendors, managed my ceremony, and stayed after to break down and pack up. She even brought in her own cake stand and signage to let me use because they were details I had forgotten. She took the time to understand my vision in the weeks prior and everything turned out better than I could have imagined. I really don’t know what I would have done without her. I would recommend her 100 times over.

I worked together with Olga at Mountain Pearl for a styled photoshoot we did together this fall. As a wedding photographer who has shot hundreds of weddings in the area and beyond, I highly recommend them. The venue is beautiful and modern inside- a blank canvas for many different wedding styles. The outdoor area is stunning with mountain views, gorgeous blooms in season, a pond, greenhouse and tons of picturesque spots for photos! My favorite area of the venue was the greenhouse which (I think) is very unique to the area and the perfect spot for a microwedding, a ceremony or even a cocktail hour area. Mountain Pearl is a family run venue and you can tell they go above and beyond for anyone who visits. Olga and her family treated every vendor on site with such care and kindness. I can’t wait to go back for another wedding in the future! 10/10 recommend!!!
