Documentary storytelling for couples who want real moments and photographs that feel true to their day.

Wedding Photography That Feels Like Your Day, Not a Production.

SYRACUSE & Upstate NEW YORK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

It's nice to meet you! I’m an Upstate New York wedding and elopement photographer based in Chittenango, New York, and photograph weddings with a documentary style that focuses on real emotion and the feel of the day. I’m especially drawn to intimate celebrations in spaces where people can be themselves and connection comes naturally. I’m warm, easy to connect with, and naturally observant, which helps me blend into your day and capture the moments that matter most to you.

A photographer who feels like part of the room, laughing with your people, moving with the day, and catching the moments that matter.

Hi, I’m Kelsey.

Stefani, Zola review

"We felt comfortable and natural in her presence, and as a result we love our photos!"

I'm based in Chittenango, just east of Syracuse, and most of my weddings happen within an easy drive: Syracuse, Cazenovia, Skaneateles, the Finger Lakes and the small towns in between. Travel within two hours of Chittenango is included, so you can choose the place that feels like you.

I'm drawn to intimate celebrations, like a church ceremony and an hour of portraits by the lake, a backyard dinner with your closest people, or a quiet elopement in a state park. I won't stage your moments. When it's time for portraits or family photos, I'll give you easy, gentle direction so you never have to wonder what to do, and the rest of the day I'll stay out of the way so you can be with your people.

Collections are built around hours of coverage, not guest count. They range from $1,400 for up to two hours to $5,200 for a full day of up to ten hours, and every collection includes an engagement session, a sneak peek within 48 hours and your full gallery in about six weeks.

If you're planning something intimate in Syracuse or anywhere in Central New York, I'd love to hear about it.
