What People Are Saying

“We are so so happy with our decision to have Kellie and Lindsay photograph our wedding. Before the wedding, we had a call and several email exchanges with Kellie for assistance with the timeline and shot list. Day of, both Kellie and Lindsay were prompt, professionally dressed, and so fun! They made us feel comfortable and relaxed and made the day fun.

After the wedding, they delivered our pictures quickly both via a secure website and a flash drive, and they put together gorgeous thank you notes for us to use. In all of our interactions, Kellie and Lindsay were responsive and timely. Most importantly, our photos are STUNNING and truly capture who we are and what our day was like. We cannot recommend Live Happy Studio highly enough.”

- Simone & John

“I can't recommend Kellie & Lindsay's team enough! They are incredibly talented and are experts at capturing all the special moments, big and small. They also are very responsive and were always happy to answer any questions we had.

On the big day, they helped us stick to our timeline so well that we actually ran early—giving us more time to relax and celebrate! They knew our venue inside and out and guided us through many stunning photo opportunities. They also made sure we checked off everything on our shot list—even with two big families and lots of friends to juggle—and made every single person feel at ease. We’re so grateful for their energy, professionalism, and creativity. Our photos and videos are everything we hoped for and more!”

- Shelby & Gregory

“We had such an incredible experience working with Live Happy Studio for our wedding. From the moment we met them they were kind, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. They made us feel completely at ease which is no small thing on such an emotional day.

Their photography style is beautiful and raw in the best way.

Each photo feels authentic and full of emotion like it's telling its own little story. Nothing felt overly posed or artificial which we absolutely loved. They also work incredibly fast both during the event and we were shocked and thrilled at how quickly we received our photos and the quality was just outstanding.

We can’t recommend Live Happy Studios enough, they helped to preserve every memory and we will cherish them forever.”

Questions to ask your wedding photographer

  • Our wedding photography style is natural and documentary. It’s a candid approach to capturing people in their environment. We pride ourselves on making people feel comfortable, whether we are directing a big family portrait or hiding behind a tree to capture uncle bob’s contagious laughter, we’ll be there capturing natural candid images.

  • Kellie and Lindsay own and operate Live Happier Photography. We do pretty much everything from client meetings, shooting wedding photography, shooting wedding video, editing, blogging, wedding product design, and anything else we can! We do all of this to make sure customer service is top notch.

  • Yes! We always shoot every wedding together. One of the best things about Live Happier is you always get TWO lead shooters, instead of a head shooter and an assistant, or just one photographer!

  • We have been pointing cameras at people like you for over 15 years, and we still love every moment!

  • We know you can’t wait to share your wedding photography, and neither can we! Thats why we have a 2 week turn-around time. No need to wait months, your images will be ready for you by the time you're back from your honeymoon!

  • This really depends on the amount of hours we are there and the amount of things you have going on! Generally our couples receive 800-1200 images! Thats a lot of memories! All images will be organized into neat little folders and uploaded to an online gallery, that way you can download them all right away, or share the link with friends and family.

  • We use the new extra fancy mirrorless Canon cameras. More specifically we use Canon R5’s. We combine this fancy camera with the best lenses you can get, and an off camera lighting set up. We also have back-up cameras, and back ups for our back-ups :)

  • We accept all major forms of payments, whatever is easiest for you! Generally we ask for a 50% deposit when you reserve your date with a contract, and then the remaining 50% 10 days before the wedding.
