Meet Kerri

Fiercely loyal, people-forward, and on top of everything, all of the time.

I really, really love what I do and the people I work with. KCP couples have been, and forever will be, at the heart and soul of all that I do! Your stories are precious, your families throughout all of wedding planning become an extension of my own, and yet my deepest rooted gratitude comes from your trust to capture the joy on your faces (and on your people’s, too) and savor those real moments for a lifetime, and generations to come.

5 Star Hospitality

This, right here, is the art of hospitality. We believe that hospitality is more than exceptional service, it is an act of love, joy, and celebration. Having been described as an “end to end partner”, and for “communicating and planning with no detail overlooked”, we truly believe that when we lead with attention to detail, your joy shines.

Joy-Centered Approach

From our very first interaction over email and on the phone, you can count on the KCP team to lead with joy! It is no secret that we really love what we do, and that energy carries through every part of your experience - in thoughtful pre-planning, all wedding weekend long, to your final gallery delivery day. We know that when we lead with joy, it gives you permission to do the same. Your joy matters here. Not just how it looks (though real, undeniable joy looks GOOD on you), but how it FEELS.

Candid Imagery

Ah, perhaps the BEST part of what we do - getting to witness and capture moments so special to you and your most important people. There is an artful balance between gently directing your portrait experience so you feel comfortable and confident, while allowing your emotions to unfold naturally so you can stay fully present. We have mastered this balance so your gallery feels honest, absolutely beautiful, and genuinely alive.

Being Present At Cocktail Hour

You planned this day to celebrate with your people, and we want you there to experience it. We have spent years mastering the art of being efficient, but never rushed, with your portrait time, so you’re not missing the start of the party, but right there in the middle of it. This is our FAVORITE time to make sure your wedding guests are seen in your gallery, and to capture candids of the love in the room. Your cocktail hour and your guests matter to the story of the day - both in experience and imagery.
