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.

I am the luckiest human being on the planet to be able to witness couples on their greatest and most memorable day. Not just witness but to capture as beautiful memories. Believe me, I KNOW how important this day is. That being said, I truly care that each bride and groom has an amazing experience with me and gets absolutely everything they want and need on their big day. I care just as much about the first wedding of the year as the last wedding of the year. I care whether it is a 4 hour wedding day or a 14 hour wedding day. I will care for your big day just like I would want someone to do for me, that I can promise.

“Renee was amazing to work with! She took the time to learn  what was most important to us and made sure to capture those perfect moments. She captured all the real and intimate unscripted moments as well as the fun ones we didn’t know we wanted. Her vision, talent and professionalism when it came to location and posing for the more formal scripted photos really shines through in the final product. She has packages to fit everybody's budget! And the final product is absolutely amazing.”

  • Serves South Canaan, PA

I’ve spent the majority of my life as a musician and teacher. I taught music for a nonprofit for 8 years prior to 2020. My first experience with videography came in my role as a music teacher. I bought my first “real” camera to document my student’s concerts for them. Shortly after this, my friend asked me to take some pictures for his social media. Although I was hesitant at first, he talked me into it. I spent months taking online courses and learning everything I could about photography. He loved the experience. His happiness sparked something inside me, and I spent months taking courses on and learning about photography and filmmaking.

“I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.”

If you like coffee, dogs, drag queens, lifting heavy things, talking music recs, or threatening to elope every time someone mentions chair covers—we’re probably going to get along. If you’ve got a vision (or absolutely no clue what you're doing yet), I’ll help you sort it out and photograph the whole thing the way it actually felt. The right photos can remind you how your love felt. And yeah, we’ll get the “camera-aware” stuff your parents want, but most of what I’m capturing is in-between: the glances, the nerves, the belly laughs, the moments that turn into memories before you even realize it.

“Nicole has been our photographer from engagement, to wedding, to maternity and we wouldn't have it any other way! She has a way of capturing the very essence of our relationship, freezing moments of our love in beautiful and timeless ways. Working with Nicole is always easy, organized, and so much fun! She's open to adventure and new ideas while providing a safe space full of laughter every time. We love Nicole and will never book with anyone else!”
