About The Golden Hour Photography

Kelly Kruse

Your Favorite Photographer

I have the best job in the world and I love what I do! Let me help you capture your best moments. I consider it an honor to be selected to help you document your love story and it's a responsibility that I take very seriously.

Use me! I will make sure that you feel confident in the way your wedding day is documented. I am laid back and can go with the flow--I will be in the background capturing your purest moments --OR-- I can take charge and make sure that your timeline stays on task and guide you through your day. Either way, you will receive a beautiful collection of moments showcasing your love story in its purest form.

    Awesome experience working with Kelly!

    My husband and I had an elopement style wedding and we’re kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures. This was actually our first time having professional photos taken of us and it was better than expected! Kelly carries a warm, yet fun energy all while maintaining professionalism and is beyond talented. Our wedding photos are so amazing, every moment was captured beautifully. We will definitely be working with Kelly again in the future!

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a bunch of sneak peeks as I edit.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
I’ve never cancelled a wedding or any booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
