Theresa Kelly is a masterful visionary known for her timeless yet inimitable style.
A photographer can take a photograph, but it’s only a true artist who creates transportive heirlooms that can transcend the limitations of memory. My style is soulful, cinematic and unscripted. My goal is to capture the honesty of your story in the small subtlety of stolen glances, and through the stories unfolding all around.
I am grateful for the free spirited couples who believe photography is a way to preserve not only a historical record of an event, but the true character of all people present on a wedding day. I cultivate space for my couples so they may experience staying fully present for all their most precious moments and savoring their celebration.
Stunning portraiture and appreciation for detail is only the baseline. Authentic documentation flows naturally when the story is seen and felt by an artist who takes notice. There is no need to chose one or the other.
By encouraging my couples to be their most authentic selves, I capture their wedding not as it’s been done before, but as expressed uniquely through our mutual individuality. I’m here for all the beauty, the perfectly imperfect, the mishaps, the happy tears and the sigh of relief as retold through timeless, visual poetry.
My couples will look back on their photographs and see a genuine depiction of who they really are.
