Bride and Groom at Venue3Two in the summertime on their wedding day

We had the pleasure of working with Kelly from the day of our engagement all the way up to our wedding day! This includes the day we got engaged, + engagement photo session. She truly has captivated every single photo of every single session. Kelly ensured that she would captivate our vision through frequent conversations and questions which I highly appreciated! She also provided many pose suggestions throughout each session which I also truly appreciated. Work with Kelly!!! You will not be disappointed!

Kelly was amazing to work with! Her prices are SO great for the service she provides! She brought along a second photographer on our wedding day, was so responsive and kind throughout the entire process, and got our albums (engagement, mini session and wedding) back to us so quickly even during the busy season :) We felt so comfortable working with Kelly and couldn't recommend her enough!"

We were so lucky to find Kelly Jo to photograph our October wedding. I can't stop looking at our photos as they are perfect!

She dealt with my groom and I who are not "photo" people and made us so comfortable and we laughed non-stop. On top of that, we had a rainy wedding day and she took the most incredible pictures in between rain and using our venue perfectly.

Even our detail photos are beautiful! Trying to pick a handful of photos to share is almost impossible! Highly recommend!!!!

Kelly was great to work with. She brought an extra shooter along who was so helpful and at no extra cost. She helped us feel comfortable as two people who weren’t totally comfortable in front of the camera. She stayed later than planned to get better photos and helped make our wedding day smooth as can be. Her prices are VERY affordable and she delivers awesome work. We got our photos back not even a month after our wedding day and we love them all! We couldn’t be happier with our experience."

We had the wonderful experience of working with Kelly and her daughter, Taylor, for our engagement photos and our wedding. We got married on 10/7/2023 and the day would not have gone as smooth as it did without this wonderful duo. Not only did they do a fabulous job capturing all of the wonderful things happening around us, but we actually forgot to bring the rings to the altar!!! We didn't realize this until right before I walked down the aisle and Kelly and Taylor quickly found them in the dressing room and swiftly brought them to the best man without anyone noticing! They truly saved the day. Taylor was absolutely wonderful at taking care of all the little details a bride would not think about while taking pictures. She made sure I was warm, held my dress for me, and even saved the day (again) with concealer when my lipstick stained my skin! You also cannot tell how cold and rainy it was on our day because of the stellar quality of Kelly's shots. From the very beginning the communication was fabulous. Kelly is extremely affordable and the quality of her shots is unmatched. I would recommend Kelly Jo Photography to anyone who is looking for reliability, fantastic quality, and quick turnaround. Thank you Kelly and Taylor for making our day beautiful!!!
