I am going to take you on a little journey through one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me recently at a REAL wedding!
After 13+ years of shooting weddings, I like to think I have seen it ALL. Wild bridal party, crazy mother of the bride, high maintenance wedding planner, etc.
YIKES! Like I said, CRAZY. A lot was at stake after this incident because we were SO behind on our timeline. This incident showed me the POWER that I have as a photographer…I could either sit back and say, “Well, I had no control, look what happened” OR I could choose to be proactive and say “this happened and now what am I going to do about it!?”
In the middle of the chaos of the day, I captured one of my FAVORITE portraits because I chose to be proactive and lead my couple to get the portraits of their dreams, despite being an hour behind of schedule!
In this Youtube episode, you will see how I chose to show up and how I executed this wedding day despite the timeline struggles, the panic of the couple and guests and the sun setting FAST! As a photographer, YOU have the right to step up and step in when it comes to making decisions and giving your clients what they are paying you for!
P.S. If you aren’t prepared for situations like these, you can watch how I handle these situations in our membership; KJ All Access!

A year ago, we promised to find a solution for those who were complaining about their R6 raw files looking dull and lifeless in Lightroom. However, due to various circumstances, we couldn’t deliver on that promise until now.
Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer who has been shooting 90 weddings a year. I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true! Kelly’s success and the volume of work she handles is truly impressive.
Your sessions should be working FOR you not against you!
