Kelly Marie Photography

History

I grew up with photographers in the family. Quickly, I became both a model and an assistant to my family members, carrying their bags and posing when the lighting was spectacular. How could I not develop an interest in photography? My parents bought me my first camera in middle school. I started photographing anyone who would let me. My camera became a part of me; my high school friends were shocked when it was not glued to my hand. When the time came to decide on my major, the thought occurred to me that maybe I could do this for a living.

Specialties

I began the journey to becoming a professional photographer by attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, majoring in art and design with a concentration in photography. The business came soon after. I have loved turning my passion into my career. After spending years on the Central Coast, I have returned to the Central Valley. Here, I specialize in wedding photography. In addition, I also photograph family portraits, senior portraits, and proposals. The goal of my photography is to capture the genuine nature and emotions of my subjects and have a good time while doing so. I focus on delivering photos of tender moments with a dreamlike feel that you will cherish for years to come. Weddings are a time for laughter and love, and my photography emphasizes these qualities. Witnessing love stories brings me immense joy as I follow my photographic passion. At the end of the day, your wedding photos should capture the day just as you remember it and bring a smile to your face. If you are interested in sharing your story, I would love to hear from you. I'm based out of Lodi in California's Central Valley, but I am available to travel throughout Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.
