A true artist at heart, Danielle has spent over twenty-five years behind a camera. For over a decade she has specialized in recording couples and families in some of their most joyous moments. Utilizing both digital and film, she documents not only the major moments, but the minor moments, too, that sometimes go amiss: the grandmother gazing fondly at the new generation. The proud tearful eyes of a parent watching as their child embarks on an exciting new chapter. Big or small, with her trained eye Danielle captures every brushstroke to fully realize the memory of your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Danielle comes with my HIGHEST recommendation! We truly enjoyed her presence at our event - she knew how to be in all the right places at the perfect times and captured so many moments perfectly. She went above and beyond and was a pleasure to work with. Danielle was a natural at making us feel comfortable and making photos fun. Our guests enjoyed her, as did we. She found awesome spots for photos at our venue and the finished product is absolutely fabulous. Each time I revisit the album, it is like reliving the event. Not only that, she had previews to us the day after and the final album completed within good time considering how nicely the photos are edited and organized. I’m so glad we chose her. If you’re considering her - you won’t be disappointed!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

My husband and I hired Emily as our photographer after a friend of mine posted her wedding photos to her Instagram over a year ago. I wasn't keen on the venue's recommendations and I couldn't seem to find a photographer that was worth the money. Thank goodness for my friend posting her wedding photos at the time she did because I was about to pick any photographer for the sake of it. Her wedding shots were so gorgeous! The veil shots? Chef's kiss! I reached out to Emily and we hopped on a call a few days later. She is so easy to talk to and relatable. We went over things about what I want and what to expect. The day of our wedding she went right into the groove of things even though my mom showed up an hour late to the venue for photos. I was stressing and she made sure I forgot about that! She got shots I didn't even think of. She made those awkward laughing photos super fun. I cannot thank Emily and her second shooter, David, enough.

Kellie Jane Photo & Film was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke, Kellie and her team were incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and so quick to respond to any questions or requests we had. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work is simply stunning - their beautiful, nostalgic photography captured all the special moments of our day. Kellie and her team were so kind and professional, and made it easy for us to just enjoy the events without worrying about the photography. We were thrilled to receive sneak peeks just a couple days after the wedding. Kellie has such a fun, personable personality that made the day less stressful, and I'm so glad she was the first vendor I booked because her work exceeded my already high expectations. I would highly recommend Kellie Jane Photo & Film to any couple looking for beautiful, high-quality wedding photography.

Your love story deserves to be celebrated and cherished, because what God has joined together should be honored — and beautifully remembered. Photos are the only tangible way to hold onto the fleeting moments of your wedding day, so I am dedicated to capturing the sweet moments of your special day. I understand the significance of each moment and aim to make you feel at ease throughout the process. Whether it's a charming backyard ceremony or a breathtaking mountain elopement, my focus is entirely on you and the people around you. Ensuring that your raw emotions and genuine connection comes through in every photograph.

From our very first kick-off call, I felt like Autumn instantly understood who I was and the vision I had for my wedding. I love a mix of candid and editorial photography, but I also knew I’d need a few classic posed shots for family photos. Autumn delivered on all three flawlessly! For our candids, Autumn was able to capture myself, my now husband, and our guests looking the best we ever have, while still capturing the liveliness and excitement of the moment. She has a great eye for editorial, capturing details and angles that feel elevated and striking in her compositions. She also managed to get our family photos done quick enough for us to join cocktail hour! Autumn was so patient and receptive to what I was envisioning, and I'm so pleased to have had her artistic eye to capture, edit, and celebrate the best moments of our wedding day. I couldn't be more happy to have such artful and authentic photos for myself, my family, and friends to cherish and enjoy.

I believe your life's biggest milestones are meant to be relived, not just remembered.

My husband and I got married at the San Diego Museum of Art and Paul was our photographer. I wish I could attach photos to this review because words can't do this review justice. The photos were breathtaking. Paul had such an eye for staging and sunlight and architecture and posed us so naturally. He captured beautiful moments between the two of us and joyous reception photos. 10/10 we would work with Paul again!

Hey, I'm Alex! A sappy, soulful, empathic human who believes #loveislove, all relationships are uniquely special, and both sides are your good sides with a little confidence and a built-in cheerleader (aka me).

Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.
