Hey, I'm Kelsey! Thanks for being here! When I'm not behind the lens, you'll probably find me at my favorite sushi restaurant or hanging out at home with my husband & cats drinking a Starbucks Matcha Latte. You'll notice as soon as you meet me that height is something I'm lacking, but I promise that won't stop me from killin' it at your session. I started taking photography when I was a freshman in high school. My high school offered film photography & I immediately fell in love.

She knocked it out of the park! Her style, talent, and eye are all top notch. She took our ideas and ran with them, giving us the perfect keepsake for our special event. Absolutely cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Ashley was such a dream! Her attention to detail and vibes are amazing. We felt a little bit awkward during our engagement photo shoot just because we had not taken professional photos together before and Ashley was able to break the ice and keep us giggling the whole time. Do not question any of the silly things she has you do because your photos will be that much better for it. We would love to work with Ashley again in the future & cannot wait to display her work around our house!

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Michael. Absolutely five stars in every category we could give from communication before the wedding, to handling the chaos that is family portraits with dogs and children, he did a phenomenal job. We have received A TON of photos from him (ahead of schedule) I might add. But see below a few shots from our day. One of our most favorite things was that Michael provided some photos 24 hours after the event which we loved because I know a lot of friends of mine have had quite a wait after their wedding. We could not recommend him enough and plan to use him for any and all future events. 10/10!

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Bridget as our wedding photographer, we knew we were in good hands. She became a true partner in helping us bring our vision to life. Her communication style is clear, open, supportive and incredibly organized, making the entire process feel seamless. Bridget's attention to detail is unparalleled - she was there for us every step of the way, providing guidance that went far beyond just capturing our special day. On the wedding day itself, Bridget's calming presence and professional demeanor helped us feel at ease, allowing her to capture the most beautiful, breathtaking moments. The final photos are a true work of art - bright, refreshing, and brimming with emotion. The photos far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Bridget has remarkable talent to capture both the grand moments and quiet, candid details that made our day so special. Bridget's warmth and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable, kept the day running smoothly, and brought energy that made the experience joyful and stress-free. It is evident Bridget loves what she does and truly pours her heart into every photo she takes. Bridget is everything you want in a wedding photographer and more, and we will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hey there! I got our USB! This is the coolest USB I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanted to reach out again to tell you that you and Jed are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. From the moment you messaged me on Facebook, you’ve been one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and I’m so thankful that I got the pleasure to have you photograph such a milestone in Greg and I’s lifetime. You both were incredibly patient and intuitive to our feelings and needs during the wedding which surpassed any expectations I could have set for a photographer. It’s apparent that you both genuinely love what you do and you both put your entire soul into each client(s) you take on. I received so many compliments from my guests regarding how professional you both were as well. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful these photos are. You put life into all of my visions for the wedding and made them into such pieces of art.

Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

We had such a great experience working with Jordany for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel completely at ease, blending in seamlessly and capturing everything so naturally. The final photos are absolutely beautiful — emotional, artistic, and full of the small, meaningful moments we’ll treasure forever. He truly has a gift for storytelling through his lens. We’re so grateful for his work and would highly recommend Jordany to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who brings both skill and heart to such a special day.

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

She was so patient with our rowdy groomsmen and braved the cold with us for our pictures and ceremony. She jumped at the chance to take pictures at all the best moments. It was grey and cloudy all day, but when we saw this sunset open up over the lake, she literally ran outside with us to get these pictures. Our friends and family have made multiple comments about how great she was! We can not recommend her enough!!
