Hey, I’m Kelsie

Wisconsin Film Wedding Photographer by day, hopeless romantic by night

I’m a Milwaukee based candid and documentary wedding photographer who has a deep love for film and capturing your love in its purest form. I’ve always been the sappiest person in a room and have an undying love for love. Getting to capture such special moments and be welcomed in to a couples lives is truly one of the greatest feelings.

I’m honored to be able to photograph weddings on film as it is such a sacred and delicate art form. Candid, silliness, and romance are at the heart of my photographs and I cannot wait for you to see.

“If you want someone who makes you feel incredibly comfortable, shares & appreciates your vision for the day/photos, and is all around a cool person to spend time with -- look no further & book with Kelsie. She made our wedding day look like we were shooting a vogue cover, with the ease & comfort of stepping into a photo booth! We love Kelsie, her light, artistic and organic approach to her art, and would recommend her to any and everyone!”

MY PROCESS

As a Wisconsin Film and Digital Wedding Photographer

The ethos of my work is to observe, be playful, and stay curious with connection and comfort being at the heart of what I do. My intentions throughout your day are for you to feel relaxed and fully present, while getting to truly basking in the feels of your wedding with your partner, friends and families. 



I use both film and digital cameras throughout my wedding days. I view film as a tool to help craft the emotional narrative I want in the image and am continuously drawn to the artistry of it. The seemingly mundane moments always seem to have a bit more magic when told through this medium! The colors are rich and the feeling behind having “one shot” to capture a moment in time are things that keep me drawn to film. Being able to give my couples family heirlooms that they’ll get to cherish years down the line makes shooting in this medium just a little more special.




Saying all of this, I aim to work with people who have a love for film & treasure wedding day galleries in all its forms — the silly, the intimate, the carefree-ness; kind folks that don’t take themselves too seriously but orchestrate things with intention & lots of love.
