My approach to wedding photography is rooted in staying young at heart — focusing on the moments that make you laugh, cry, dance like no one’s watching, and fall in love all over again.

More About the Photographer

My name is Kelli, and I am the founder of Yah Photography. After moving across the country from Southern California to South Carolina (to marry my high school sweetheart) I decided to follow my heart and start yah Photography. When creating the business my husband and I knew it needed to match our down to earth and fun loving personalities! YAH stands for Young At Heart, which is a mindset, a way of life which keeps you young at heart. That is my pursuit in life, and I do that through photographing the connection that two people have for each other; the secret giggles shared during the ceremony, the tears shed during the first dance, or the big smiles on your face during the grand exit. No matter the moment, I am there to capture it, unscripted for you to have as a life-long memory.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me wandering the aisles of Target with a caramel macchiato in my hand, treasure-hunting in antique shops with my husband, or indulging in a slice of cheesecake. Life with our two kids keeps things joyfully chaotic — and my husband and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We built our forever home on a piece of land we fell in love with, and just added a sweet puppy to the mix (because clearly, we love a little extra excitement!).

Now that you know a bit about me, I’d love to hear all about you. Send me a message or give me a call — we’ll share some laughs and likely become fast friends!

Although I’m based just south of Charlotte, North Carolina I’m always up for an adventure and available for travel worldwide!
