I’ve been told I have a “calming” presence that helps people feel comfortable and relaxed, I truly want you to enjoy your wedding day, and not feel like you’re in a day long photo shoot!

Heidi C.
The Photographer You Want by Your Side
Kelly is incredibly sweet, talented, and truly made me feel so special on my wedding day. She and her assistant captured our day beautifully, but what stood out just as much was how they went above and beyond in all the little ways. From fanning me during transitions, to keeping my lipstick handy for touch-ups during photos, to repeatedly helping fix my bustle when I managed to tear it out, they were always there making sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Kelly has such a warm presence and made the entire experience feel easy and enjoyable. I absolutely love the photos she captured and am so grateful for the care she put into our day. I highly recommend Kelly Jo Photography and already look forward to having Kelly capture more of our major milestones in the future!

The bride!
Kelly is absolutely amazing! She is so calm and determined to acquire every photo you want on your busy day. She is super talented and has so much experience. She made our day feel very relaxed and fun! She would always check in with me as the bride and asked how I was doing and what she could do to help etc…she truly went above and beyond. She not only checked in with me but also my parents on ensuring she got all the photos we wanted! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our special day. And the final photos turned out amazing! Highly recommend working with Kelly, you won’t regret it!

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER
Kelly truly went above and beyond to photograph our wedding! We love and cherish every single photo she captured. She was so kind and easy to work with and helped coordinate everything so we didn’t miss anything we wanted captured. From engagement photos all the way to our sparkler send off at the end of our wedding night we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

100/10 AMAZING Experience
We truly cannot thank Kelly enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. From the moment we met Kelly, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and calming presence was such a gift throughout the entire day. When we received our photos, we couldn’t believe what we saw - absolutely stunning! Kelly captured every special moment so perfectly — the big, unforgettable moments as well as the small, candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Each photo tells a story and allows us to relive the joy, love, and happiness of our wedding day all over again. Kelly’s talent is incredible, and her attention to detail is unmatched. She grabbed our attention at the perfect moments to take pictures and then somehow disappeared still capturing all the other moments - amazing!! We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I should also mention Kelly is a great communicator and a quick text away. She made sure we got the family photos we needed and any fun ones we requested too! ALSO Kelly gave us preview photos the day after the wedding!! And then the full gallery in less than 2 weeks!! If you are looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally talented but also kind, organized, and truly invested in making your day special, we cannot recommend Kelly Jo Photography enough. She exceeded every expectation and gave us the most priceless gift. Thank you, Kelly!!

Thank you Kelly for an amazing day
IF YOU DO ONE THING FOR YOUR WEDDING, LET IT BE BOOKING KELLY JO!!! Our day was better having Kelly and her daughter around. The photos were absolutely stunning and we will be cherishing them for the rest of our lives. From literally sewing my dress for me, calming our nerves, keeping on schedule, and wrangling family, we couldn't have done our day without her. Thank you so much Kelly for making our day so special.
