Your wedding photos should feel intentional and effortless.
Even before you say yes to the photographer, I invest in building a genuine connection with you by taking the time to understand your story, your vision, and every detail that makes your day uniquely yours. On your wedding day, I combine over a decade of experience as an educator with almost a decade of experience as a wedding photographer to bring a calm, effortless structure to your day. You can simply relax and be fully present, knowing that your wedding day will be captured intentionally and authentically.
Your memories deserve to be shared beyond a screen. That's why every collection includes a physical, heirloom-quality album that you can hold, page through, and pass down for generations.

the CBK wedding Experience
Photography was the most important thing to us when we started planning the wedding and we knew Kelsey was fit for the job. She made the entire process an unforgettable experience. Kelsey managed to depict the love that my husband and I have shared for the last 10 years, as we are high school sweethearts, through her lenses. I’ve watched my sneak peak reel from our wedding over 1,000 times! I’ve cried, yelled “OMG”, and relived our magical night countless times. While I only have the sneak peaks, I can’t even imagine what the entire album is going to look like. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone and everyone! We are so lucky to be part of the CBK family and can’t wait for Kelsey to capture more as our lives continue.
Our photos capture who we are as individuals as well as a couple.

Here's why my couples choose me for their wedding day:
- A trusted friend with a camera: Couples often say working with me feels less like hiring a vendor and more like hanging out with a friend, which means your photos feel natural, not staged.
- Calm, organized direction: My background managing classrooms translates into effortless crowd control and a stress-free timeline, so you can be fully present instead of managing your own day.
- Photos and heirlooms built to last: Beyond a digital gallery, I help you turn your day into custom albums and fine art prints, so your love story doesn't end up buried on a hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have been a wedding photographer for nearly a decade. I am based in Metro Detroit, but I also serve the greater Southeast Michigan area and I am available for travel throughout the state and beyond! Before creating my photography business, I was a high school teacher for 12 years. Because I believe it is important for me to get to know my couples personally, it's only fair for you to get to know me too! You can find my whole story of how and why I became a wedding photographer here.
Every couple has their own unique story and vision for their wedding day. For that reason, I custom tailor every wedding photography collection to meet your values. Full Day collections start with a minimum of 7 hours of coverage, a Linen Wedding Album, a 1 Year Online Gallery, and High Resolution Digital Copies with Printing Rights. We will go from there when we create your collection together during our virtual consultation. You can learn more about my Wedding Photography Experience & Pricing HERE
One of my favorite things about weddings in Metro Detroit is that there is truly a venue that can make any wedding day dream a reality. We have everything from historic estates, to lush greenhouses, and modern venues with skyline views.

I actually offer four different types of engagement sessions ranging from a mini session in my hometown to a destination engagement session! I love doing engagement sessions with my couples because it gives us a chance to get you comfortable in front of "the big girl camera" and we get to spend some quality time together. We will decide which engagement session is right for you during our virtual consultation. You can learn all about my process and the CBK Wedding Experience here.
My favorite engagement session locations are the ones that hold meaning for the two of you - let's recreate some of your first dates and tell your love story through your engagement photos!
