Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot.
So it shouldn’t feel like one.
You don’t want perfect. You want real.
…but you still want it to look really, really good. Obviously.
Luckily, you don’t have to choose between being present and having beautiful photos. I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and document it all in a way that feels like you.
For me, it’s always presence over posing…and photos that feel like a time capsule of your people, your energy, and your story.
THE BOOKING PROCESS
-
1: DISCOVERY CALL
Let's get together for a phone call or Facetime sesh to learn all about your love story and vision for your special day! We'll chat, answer questions, and I’ll probably lightly fangirl over your plans. Don't worry, no pressure to decide anything just yet!
-
2: DREAM IT, PLAN IT, BOOK IT
After our call, you'll receive a custom proposal with your contract & invoice. Sign on the dotted line, pay the deposit, and your date is officially ours! Now, we'll dive into all the exciting details and take your engagement photos (woo!).
-
3: TIME TO CELEBRATE
The big day is finally here! Leading up to it, we'll have a call to go over your timeline and ensure we're both feeling pumped and prepared. I'm here for you every step of the way as your #1 fan and resource, before, during, and after your wedding!

WEDDINGS
Your wedding photos are a time capsule to your Best Day Ever. So yes, we’ll include a few posed, editorial style photos for the parents, but my documentary-style approach focuses on capturing those unexpected, imperfect moments that tell the story of your day. I pride myself in being able to capture moments that not only look great, but also bring back the emotions and feelings of that moment. You can have both a fabulous time and fabulous photos, promise (of course while making sure you have lots of time to spend with your guests!).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
YES!! I’ve been to over ten countries and multiple states, and I would love to add your destination to the mix. Travel costs are incorporated into the total fee before you book, so there will never be any extra invoices to deal with.
-
Literally 99% of my couples tell me they're uncomfy having their photo taken, and I get it! It's intimidating having someone point a camera at you and tell you to "be natural" or laugh on cue.
...which is why we will NOT BE DOING THAT!
Instead, I’ll give you light direction mixed in with lots of prompts, movement, and yapping (to each other and also with me). From "walking over there and holding hands" to telling me all about how you guys met, you'll forget all about the camera in no time. Trust.
-
Film photography is available for all weddings and sessions, and it’s one of my favorite ways to bring an extra layer of depth to your gallery! There’s an intentionality to film that you can’t rush, and that’s what makes it so special. Along with all those dreamy tones, be still my heart!!!
For the big moments, I’ll prioritize digital so nothing is ever missed, while weaving in film throughout the day for an extra storytelling element to your photos.
-
You can expect to receive about 50-100 edited photos per hour of coverage! I'll send them over to you via a user-friendly online gallery, so you can easily share them with your loved ones and download your favorites.
“Where to even start.. Kelsey with Sunbeam Studio is truly the best photographer around.
We chose a package with an engagement session, and our wedding day. The engagement pictures were STUNNING and meeting Kelsey in person was just the icing on the cake! She is truly the perfect balance between a hype-gal, fly on the wall, and a calming presence when needed. Our wedding photos (we've only received sneak peeks so I can't wait for the whole gallery) are truly the most beautiful photos. I know I'm biased but we were wanting a mix of candids and posed shots and Kelsey knocked it out of the park! The little moments she was able to capture are far and away my favorite pictures. Please do yourself a favor and book with Kelsey. She is worth every last penny and I will forever sing her praises!”
