FILM + DIGITAL
When I picked up a camera in 2012, I always knew that I wanted to capture stories of love, no matter what they looked like. It was as if I found my calling in life, and I wanted nothing more than to take that dream as far as I could.
Over the years, I have made it my undying mission to make your photos a work of art that has been captured and edited with the intent of allowing you to relive each moment as if you were truly there experiencing it again. I want you to remember each and every second down to the most minuscule detail.
Whether it is an intimate wedding or a lavish, traditional wedding… To me, they are more than just photographs. To me, I am capturing your forever.

Kelsey was truly amazing to work with! She helped us tremendously with location and vendor recommendations. Not only did she come up with the perfect timeline but she coordinated with our other vendors which took a lot of the stress off us. Driving for hours to our location, hiking the trail multiple times, and getting drenched in the rain!! The best part was seeing all her hard work pay off with these gorgeous photographs! She is truly a master at her craft. She made us feel so at ease and the entire experience was spectacular!
"SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE PROCESS"
MEGHAN & KEITH
Preparing for the wedding, the million little things that need to be seen to, arranged, planned for, accounted for, and crossed off the list. It is no wonder that the cliche exists portraying this process as utter madness. Consider this, and then consider how amazing, how truly wonderful it would be to book a photographer who can give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing the engagement photos will turn out perfect, the wedding photos will turn out perfect, and that in the photographer you may look forward to finding more than the hired help, but a lifelong friend. My friends, that is what you can not just look forward to, but can expect with complete confidence when booking Ridge and Ramble Photography.

Kelsey and her team were simply amazing all the way from the engagement session to the big day! Her quality of work is like none seem before and she makes it literally impossible to select just one photo as a favorite. She has been so helpful throughout this entire experience, kept great communication, and was so easy to work with! I am so thankful for all the beautiful work she put together and I will definitely be returning for her for any photography needs I will ever have! When looking at the photos, the amount of love and fun is literally jumping through the photos which I never realized one could capture.
