You make the rules for the life you want and on your best days, you play with fire. So go ahead.
Love today for the rest of your life.
You are defiantly, resolutely, irretrievably you, choosing your life, creating your own universe, passing up others’ expectations to do what you love and surrounding yourself with what inspires you the most. I see you. I am changed by you. Your universe is more beautiful than even you imagine.

The offer
3 hours of Easy, Intimate, On-Location Photography (+ 3 hr add-on option)
You’ll get a mix of posed and playful editorial-level photos with your favorite person (or people) in a favorite location. Enjoy a pared-back shoot that will help you carve out meaningful time with your lover, bookmark an experience you don’t want to forget, and make much ado about you in your little [white] dress.
You will get to communicate your vision and meet the photographer, whose experience as a creative director will allow you to set your own direction for the shoot. Set your own timeline with lighting guidance based on your favorite image styles, and get involved in the art you’ll be a part of.
You will receive a digital collection of editorial-level images meant to let you relive and fall in love with your experience again and again. The images will be accompanied by a personal print & usage release that will allow you to print them and to show them off privately or publicly as you wish

"When we live into our greatest passions, we love." The measure of success for our lives is spending our lives surrounded by what we love. For me, it's photography (it's the thing I can't not do!); for you, it might be polo or fencing or wine or tech or silk ribbon or oils or cooking or anything.
“Spend all you have for loveliness… and never count the cost… and for a breath of ecstasy, give all you have been or could be.” [ Sara Teasdale ]

about the girl in the white dress
Amazing photos don't require a huge production. I travel light -- just a camera and a few lenses -- and I create context from the tangible details on location. You get to do you (with a little high romance and some dress-up in your fancy clothes), and I am here for it. I combine a documentary style with an observational take and a some gentle direction to round out a rich retelling of your love story.
An easy experience

about the girl in the white dress
With 20 years of photography experience and a passion for unscripted emotion, I only book the shoots that get me out of bed in the morning. I believe that luxury is the human capacity to transform something into emotion (cue world-class 2-Michelin-Star-winning chef Alex Atala), and I focus on creating honest, emotive imagery that translates to pure, romantic luxury that will keep you in love with the moments we share for the rest of your life.

Invest in an experience that matters to you.
These photos may not be for everyone in your world, but your romance isn’t for everyone anyway. There are enough scripted love stories in the universe.

If You're in love with being in love
The Girl in the white dress
A modern approach to WEDDING portraiture
[ lookbook coming soon ]
You already have everything you need, and you know it. Now, we're just getting into what you want. Do you want a little fire? A little emotion? A little passion? I'm here for that, if you are brave enough to go for it. Let's tell a story of you, being in love.
...knows you already have everything you need - and you never thought love could be this good.
IF you are the girl who...
...doesn’t need anybody telling you that “this is what love looks like.” You already know.
The Girl in the White dress is exactly what you need...
...makes the rules for the life you want, and you’re just looking for something that fits YOU.
...loves a good aesthetic, but you aren’t looking for a big event, overplanning, or everyone else’s input.
...wants someone to record what you want the whole world to know about you, in love.
"Kelle's images have the quality of a painterly masterpiece...
They... transport us to another place and time."
- claire pettibone
The Girl in the White Dress provides an un-typical take on photography...
We call it what it is: 3 hours of portraiture
I don't care what we call what you want to do -- an engagement session, a bridal session, a solo portrait session, an elopement, a couple's shoot, an editorial shoot, a love session, a boudoir session... or any of the other thousand variations other photographers have applied -- I provide you with EVOCATIVE, AUTHENTIC-TO-YOU, FINE ART PORTRAITS.
What you see here is what you can get here if all you want is pictures. I am a person who sees beauty wherever I go, and I love photographing what I see. Period. Stop. End of story. Let's not worry about selling you on anything else.
We stick to one price: $1,050 + travel Costs
Nobody needs to deal with hidden costs or complicated packages based on your budget, my massage needs, or anybody's celebrity status. You pick your favorite location, and I'll meet you there with my camera in tow.
If you come to me (in CHARLESTON, S.C. or SAN FRANCISCO'S BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA), $1,050 is your rate. If I come to you, we'll just add travel costs (flight + hotel + car) when we chat.
I'm here for it. Shoot me a message and start the conversation you want to have about the work you love. I'd love to get involved in that thing you want to do.
