you are here!
HI I'M KELLY!
So thankful
I love turning life's fleeting moments into beautiful heirlooms. My camera helps me capture all the little details that make you and your partner so unique. I get really invested in my clients because I want nothing more than for you to be just as over the moon for your photos as you are for your love. You can bet I will be crying big tears of joy alongside you on your special day. (Don’t worry, the lens will stay dry.)
I truly believe God has called me to be a wedding photographer and know I am living out my purpose. That being said, I don't take this job lightly and cherish the fact that I am with you on your most important day! I’m obsessed with organizing, so I love being a part of the planning process for your wedding to make sure that your day goes smoothly. I also know how to have a good time, so you will find me with my bluetooth speaker playing your favorite music during our time together. My love language is words of affirmation, so not only will we have a blast, but you will feel so confident with me hyping you up throughout your special day!
I’ve lived in Austin for 10 years, so if you want to shoot here, I got you! We can hit the best spots my city has to offer! Thinking you want a destination shoot? I’m your girl! I love traveling and I’m so thankful I get to do it for work too!
Hmmm, what else about me? I’m a Christ follower, Harry Potter muggle (sadly), food + drink connoisseur, loving daughter, adoring aunt and friend to all.

reading a good book
Hi there, I’m Steph! We all know Instagram is the best for connecting people and creating community even across different cities! Well, that’s how Kelly and I met in 2021 and it has been such a joy to get to know her over the past year! I am so honored to be an associate photographer and work alongside you and Kelly!
In high school I spent any free time I had in the art room. It was my happy place! It was there that I learned how to use the dark room and develop film which sparked my interest for photography. Then about 10 years ago, I started an Etsy shop and grew to love taking the photos of the products more than making the actual items! I progressed from taking pictures of my handmade items to pets, animals and then people. Once I shot my first wedding I was hooked! I love documentary style, candid, “in the moment'' photography and I’m always looking for the little glimpses that tell the story. Also, I’m an enneagram 2 through and through, so I’m so passionate about helping my clients on their most special day!
Well, more about me besides being a photographer…I’m a wife of 14 years, mother to two smart + witty kids, pet mom to a zoo of- 2 dogs and a cat, huge hiking fan (I recently completed two “14ers” aka hiking a 14,000 ft mountain), and a true creative at heart!
Hey y’all! I’m Bri and I am so excited to be an associate photographer for Kelly O’Connor Photography! Over the past few years, Kelly and I have become best photographer friends and it has been the biggest blessing to me! We have shot over 20 weddings together, so if you hire me, trust me when I say Kelly and work so well together and I have gotten to see how she does things!
A little about me…my journey with photography began in 2016 when I took the leap of faith and purchased my very first camera! Initially I got started by taking senior photos, but judging by the amount my cheeks hurt from smiling after my first wedding, I just knew wedding photography was what I was meant to do! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could make a career out of something I love so much, but God has a funny way of making things work out.
I am a dog mom to Tuna, born and raised Austinite, married to my best friend + co-worker (he’s a videographer and we get to shoot weddings together!!!), and fan of anything that involves friends and food!
