Your wedding day will move quickly — but the feelings will stay with you forever. The joy, the anticipation, the stillness, the celebration… it all deserves to be remembered with care.
The KRP experience is more than just beautiful images. It’s about feeling calm, supported, and truly seen — so you can be present in the moment, not just posed for the camera. With gentle guidance and a heart-led approach, I’ll help you feel comfortable, connected, and fully yourself from start to finish.
This is your story. Your beginning. And it deserves to be documented with honesty, intention, and love.
Rooted in presence. Told with heart.
The KRP Wedding Experience
THE PROCESS
A glimpse into the KRP Experience
Every love story is different, and I’d love to hear yours. When you reach out, we’ll schedule a relaxed chat to connect, get to know each other, and see if we’re the right fit. From there, we’ll begin planning how to document your day in a way that feels personal and true to you.
Let’s connect
Once your date is officially booked with a signed contract and retainer, I’ll send over some thoughtful resources to help you start planning — vendor recommendations, timeline tips, and a few goodies to make the whole process easier and more exciting.
SAVE THE DATE
Your engagement session is a space to connect, slow down, and simply be yourselves — no pressure, no expectations. I’ll gently guide you throughout, helping you feel natural and at ease while capturing the emotion, connection, and little in-between moments that make this season so special.
Engagement session
About three months before your wedding, we’ll go over your timeline, photo list, and anything else that matters most to you. This step creates the space for a day that flows with ease, so you can be fully present, knowing everything behind the scenes is taken care of.
Wedding Day Prep
From quiet moments to joyful celebration, I’ll be there to gently guide and calmly document it all. My approach is grounded and thoughtful — so whether you’re soaking in the stillness or surrounded by celebration, you’ll feel fully supported and deeply seen.
THE BIG DAY
Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a sneak peek to relive the magic while it’s still fresh. Then, 4–6 weeks later, your full gallery of ~900+ images will arrive — thoughtfully edited, curated with care, and ready for you to download, print, and treasure forever.

about the event
What a special day for Christopher and Olivia. They chose to celebrate their engagement with a private session at The George Eastman Museum. The weather was overcast, but the soft light created a lovely atmosphere. The clouds helped to create a gentle glow around them, making their smiles shine even brighter.
The George Eastman Museum is a beautiful place with stunning gardens and old architecture. We began our session by wandering through the gardens. Christopher and Olivia shared jokes and sweet moments, which filled the air with laughter. It was clear that their connection was strong.
After exploring the museum, we headed to Durand Eastman Beach. The mood was light and playful. Even with the gray skies, the scenery was beautiful. The beach is a great spot for portraits, and today was no exception. Christopher and Olivia ran along the shore, laughed, and danced in the sand. The sound of the waves added to their happy spirits.
We took some stunning portraits. The overcast sky acted like a huge softbox, making them look radiant. I love how the beach can feel so peaceful yet full of life. It was the perfect backdrop for this joyful celebration of their love.
Each moment we captured reflected their personalities. Their laughter echoed around us, making the day feel even more special. As we wrapped up, we knew that their love story was just beginning. Spring is a fantastic time for engagement sessions, with nature blooming and life returning to the outdoors.
Christopher and Olivia’s day was a beautiful mix of fun, laughter, and love. It reminded us all that even on cloudy days, joy can shine bright. These moments tell a story, and I feel lucky to have documented theirs. Here's to spring and all the love it brings!

about the event
The wedding day was filled with love and beauty. The couple chose the Memorial Art Gallery as their venue. The location was perfect, with an outdoor ceremony overlooking elegant stairs. Colorful flowers decorated the space, adding a romantic touch.
Before the ceremony, they shared a moment in a stunning art room. High ceilings surrounded them, and the artwork added to the magic of their first look and portraits. They were radiant, their smiles full of joy.
Personal touches made the day special. Throughout their relationship, they wrote heartfelt letters to each other. These notes were written on napkins around the bar.
Family played a big role in their celebration. They included loved ones in many ways, making everyone feel special. Each detail reflected love and thoughtfulness.
This romantic wedding, filled with warmth and creativity, brought Luke and Alex’s love story to life. It will be remembered for years to come, both for the beautiful setting and the deep emotions shared by all. Their love story, set against the backdrop of art and nature, was truly unforgettable.

After the ceremony, the celebration carried a fantastic energy over at Turning Stone in Vernon. It was a perfect contrast, blending traditional elegance with a lively atmosphere. Imagine sparkling chandeliers and delicious food, all wrapped up in a setting that felt both classic and vibrant. Everyone was just so thrilled to be there, dancing the night away and savoring every moment. It was one of those nights when time seemed to stand still, where laughter filled the air, and love truly took center stage.
What stood out to me throughout the day was this beautiful seamless flow from the sacred to the celebratory, creating memories that felt both timeless and classic. It’s all about those little moments—Alaura’s dad tearing up during the ceremony, Chris stealing sweet glances at his bride, the way the light danced on the dance floor during the reception, as their friends and family wrapped them in love and laughter. Chris and Alaura’s day was a gorgeous reminder of what weddings should be about: an incredible celebration of love that feels like it could last forever. Process the love they shared, and who wouldn’t want to hold onto those glimpses of happiness?

New York based wedding & portrait photographer
I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t just beautiful — they’re full of feeling. I’m Kelsee, a photographer with a deep love for connection, emotion, and the quiet, fleeting moments that become lifelong memories. As a mom, I’ve learned how fast time passes and how much value lives in the details — a tiny hand in yours, the way they laugh, the way you look at each other when no one’s watching. With a calm, grounded presence and a heart-led approach, I help you slow down and be fully present, so your photos reflect not just how it looked… but how it felt.
