Well, this one is a little full circle. 🥹

I met Alicia her freshman year of college + my sophomore year in Rhode Island. She was in a sorority, I very much was not, and somehow we became really fu***ng good friends really fast.

I photographed her constantly throughout college — and when I say constantly, I mean I am currently sitting on an absolutely alarming amount of photographic + video evidence from this era that will never see the light of day. 😂 We even had a band with a few of our friends called Baby Lips, which was exactly as serious and successful as you’re imagining.

But beyond all of the ridiculousness, Alicia has been one of those people who has continued to show up through every version of life since. She’s followed along with me and my photography for all of these years, supported me, checked in on me, and cheered me on from afar.

So when I saw that she and Nate got engaged last year, I genuinely couldn’t help myself. I immediately reached out basically like, if you’re looking for a wedding photographer… holler at your girl because I would be HONORED.

And somehow that led us here.

All these years after I first started photographing her in college, I found myself back in Rhode Island — a place that will forever feel like my second home — on a boat with Alicia and the man she’s going to marry, photographing their engagement session with their wedding venue sitting across the water.

Like… come on.

Bare feet, salt air, windblown hair, Rhode Island summer + one of my oldest friends in front of my camera again.

Some things change. Some things apparently don’t. 🤍

Alicia + Nate. See you at the altar, babes.

Somewhere between the rain, the mountains, and the quiet of Lake Como, the morning unfolded like a film.

Unhurried. Intimate. A little imperfect. Completely alive.

The kind of beauty you don’t create, you simply notice. 🇮🇹

Talk about a full-circle moment Danielle Marie and Matt Valletta 🐢 🥹

I knew these two long before they were these two… partied with them in college, took way too many questionable photos back then (don’t worry, the blackmail folder is safe 😂), and somehow was honored enough and ended up being the one to photograph the day they said “I do.”

Watching two people you’ve known separately find their way to each other and getting to document the start of this chapter? Pretty damn special. 🤍

rehearsal dinner for and and truly most intentional beginning to their wedding weekend;

Friday night felt like the beginning of something you could feel before you could even put it into words… an intimate dinner tucked inside the restaurant, surrounded by their closest family and friends, slowly unfolding into a welcome party filled with so much warmth, laughter, and love.

Montauk showed off in the most effortless way — a perfect sunset melting into the night, the kind of light and air that makes everything feel softer, more present, more real. every moment just flowed… from dinner, to drinks, to everyone gathering outside, lingering a little longer, not wanting the night to end.

hours around the fire, conversations that drifted from light to deep without even trying, the kind of night where strangers feel like old friends and everything just clicks into place. and , a full moon above us, quietly manifesting clear skies — and somehow the universe listened.

but more than anything, it was the feeling of Taylor and Tyler being held by their people — so much intention, so much history, so much love in every direction. not just a rehearsal dinner, but the first heartbeat of a weekend that already felt unforgettable ✨

allow me to reintroduce myself because it’s been a minute 👋🏼

hi, I’m kelsey, the human behind ; usually somewhere a little off the map, camera in hand, chasing light and the feeling of being fully, wildly alive.

I’m a photographer, but more than anything, I’m someone who feels things deeply; the way the sun hits right before it dips behind the mountains, the quiet in between moments, the kind of laughter that makes your whole body ache. that’s the stuff I live for, and it’s what I’m always trying to hold onto through my work. you’ll usually find me outside, in the mountain or woods, barefoot in a field, or halfway across the country chasing a sunset. I love to travel, I love new places, and I may have a slight coffee addiction.

working with me is easy, unposed, and deeply authentic; I’ll guide you when you need it, but mostly I’m there to let things unfold naturally. I want you to feel like yourself, to move, to laugh, to just be because that’s where the magic actually lives. I built out of that same feeling, a desire to document life as it actually is. not overly posed or perfect, but real and emotional and a little messy; the in-between moments and the way it felt to be there.

I’m also a mom of three under five, which means my life is beautifully chaotic, loud, emotional, exhausting, and really, really full. this season is messy and wild and stretching me in every direction, but it’s also made me softer, more present, and more aware of how quickly everything changes and honestly, it’s changed the way I photograph people — I care less about perfection and more about creating something that actually feels like you… the kind that pulls you right back into those moments years from now.

this season of life feels like coming home to myself in a new way; choosing adventure and joy, even in the chaos and learning how to hold both at the same time. finding beauty in the in-between, in the messy, in the moments that don’t go as planned but somehow end up meaning the most.

so if you’re new here, I’m so happy you found your way here 🤍
and if you’ve been here for a while, thank you for staying, it truly means more than you know🙏🏽
