What if your wedding photos showed how you felt, not just how you looked? When you choose me to photograph your wedding, we’ll sit down to figure out what photos are must-haves and how you want your day to feel. Your images will capture your day in its entirety: the spontaneous joy, the precious family photos, the experience you created for your guests. Less posing. Less fussing. More celebrating.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us! In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous. I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I'm very grateful for!

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him.

We met her (and she's absolutely wonderful) and picked up a beautiful package of a variety of flavors we were interested in. They were ALL so good. We went with a lemon biscoff cake (WHICH IS TO DIE FOR!), and asked for a timeless decorating style. The cake was PERFECT for our wedding and we hope to be able to get anniversary cakes from her in the future :). Absolutely recommend working with Amanda!

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Manai Ford was a photographer for our wedding and did an amazing job! Manai was very professional but also made the process very easy and fun! Manai did a great job directing everyone and keeping us on schedule while also listening to any last minute requests we had! Our wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful and Manai captured all of our special moments perfectly!
