About Kelsey Lefever Photography

Kelsey Lefever

Owner and Photographer

I'm Kelsey Lefever, a wedding photographer for wild and windswept couples. I'm based in Indiana, but travel all over the world, wherever your love story takes you. I'm a storyteller, in all senses of the word. I'm here for the couples who are more excited about their marriage than their wedding, who know that a little dirt on the dress just means it's part of a grand and adventurous love story, and that if the cake collapses on itself it still tastes just as good. If that sounds like you, we're already friends. I'm here to tell your love story.

My work is primarily photojournalistic in style. I adore capturing formal portraits and bouquet tosses and everything else, but my favorite moments are the unique, unposed ones that might otherwise go missed: your niece with frosting on her face, the laughter of your grandma, the quiet look you and your sweetheart share, the tear that makes its way down your dad's face during your vows. Those raw, unposed seconds are fleeting, and that's where emotion is richest for me. In editing, I love golden and glowy tones, deep shadows, rich black and whites, and authentic colors. I'm all about sunlight and movement and real laughter.

    Made our big day even more special

    Our biggest priority for our wedding was keeping it intimate and meaningful. We only had 10 guests, and each person meant a lot to us to be there on the big day. Kelsey was no exception. We both are very camera shy people, and the idea of having photos taken of us had made me nervous for so long. Kelsey made it so effortless and fun. She captured moments rather than staging them. I felt like she was perfectly there and also in the background when so much was going on. She helped me with planning timelines and I had so much that I didn’t think about and Kelsey didn’t stumble a bit. I totally forgot about bringing stuff for detail shots and those ended up being my favorites! All come up with on the spot while I was getting ready. I would say the best part of that day was having our photos taken, even though it was what I was worried about the most. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Yes, I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Typically, couples book me about a year out from their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame! If you haven't set a date yet but really want to work together, I'm happy to pass along my availability. I'd love to work together too!
You can expect 100 to 150 images per hour of photographing. This varies depending on number of guests, venue type, travel to other locations during the day, and other factors, but I deliver all the usable images to you.
I don't edit all images taken on a wedding day (I remove test images, duplicates, or those with unflattering expressions), but. all images you receive will be edited in my style for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful!
Not at this time! Right now, I'm focusing only on photography so that you get the best wedding pictures possible.
My turnaround time varies by season. I send preview images a day or two after your wedding so you have some gorgeous images to see and post! Typically, you’ll be able to view your full gallery about 6-10 weeks after your wedding.
Although this has never happened, I know it's important to have a plan in place, especially during COVID times! In the very rare event that I’d be unable to photograph your wedding, one of my professional, trained associate photographers would photograph the day. They're fantastic and I trust them with my life! I'll edit your photos to my style in those gorgeous golden glowy tones.
Some collections include a second photographer! I'm always happy to customize your collection and add one.
I know this pandemic has caused lots of stress for couples! As soon as you begin considering rescheduling, I'll provide a list of available dates so we can set one aside for you. I don't charge any additional fees for rescheduling due to COVID.
Yes!!! I love traveling, both in the United States and abroad. In the past few years I've spent time in Hawaii, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, South Carolina, St. Thomas, and more, and abroad in Tanzania, Kenya, Germany, and Peru. I'm at my happiest in a new place, and I've created destination wedding and elopement photography collections just for you. I can assist with travel planning and permits!
