THE SPECTACULAR, now
I grew up on this island.
I know its light, its edges,
its quiet places.
Couples let me into some of the most important days of their lives. I've spent years earning that trust, as a photographer, and now as a graduate student in Marriage and Family Therapy. I photograph elopements, weddings, and every moment in between, for people who are ready to be fully seen and fully supported.

My Story
Aloha, my name is Kelli. I was born and raised on Oʻahu, then spent over a decade in San Francisco, seven of those years building a career as a professional photographer while figuring out who I was along the way. I came home for the reasons that matter most: family, and a chance to go back to school for my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. Those two paths, photography and the study of how people connect, turned out to be the same path all along.
I photograph elopements, weddings, engagements, and love stories across Oʻahu, the Hawaiian Islands, and California. The goal is always the same: artful photos you'll look back on for the rest of your life, ones that hold the love between you exactly as it is.
It would be an honor to document your love.
