Meet Kelly
Hey, I'm Kelly.
I'm a wife, cat mom, and a former preschool teacher turned professional wedding and portrait photographer. I grew up on the seacoast of New Hampshire and ended up moving to the seacoast of Maine eight years ago. I fell in love with my first camera at the age of 7 and watched my dad capture wildlife as a hobby photographer throughout my childhood. In college, I started focusing a lot of my studies on photography where my hobby turned into a passion and now into my career.
Traveling is my favorite thing to do. I love traveling - no matter how big or small the adventure. As soon as I am heading back from one place, I'm already planning the next spot I need to check out. The wanderlust is real. I have fallen in love with places all over the world : Ireland, England, South Africa, Belize, and even areas of the US like the southwest and Pacific northwest. I love immersing myself in the local culture, seeing awe-inspiring vistas, and meeting couples in love. Take me where your heart lies and let's make an adventure together.
I'm inspired by color and absolutely adore capturing real moments. Your love story is unique and deserves to be told. Let me help you tell your vibrant love story to share with the world.

By far the best photographers we could ask for. Timely in all aspects and very patient even when the wedding party or guests were hot messes. The ideas that they had for types of photos, when and where, with what lighting, etc. were amazing. They even went above and beyond when we wanted to do pictures offsite from the wedding and even took an hour drive out of their way to take pictures of us with my wife’s father who was in the hospital. We can not thank them enough.
Choosing Kelly Payeur as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! From the first email Kelly was always responsive, engaging, and friendly. So many guests commented to me about how my photographer was so nice and professional! Kelly was a great presence to have around on what can be a stressful day! I am SO happy I found Kelly.
We are SO happy Kelly was our wedding photographer and we would strongly recommended her to anyone! She not only was a great photographer, but she made the whole wedding planning process much easier for me! She was always so quick to respond to emails and I could tell even before meeting her how nice and friendly she was. Kelly was very helpful leading up to the wedding, answering my millions of questions and creating the timeline for our wedding day. I couldn’t imagine the family formal pictures going more seamlessly. Kelly was so efficient and made what I thought could be a stressful part of the day super easy and fun! We ended up with extra time for pictures, and she suggested some cool spots/poses for us that we loved. She really has an eye for pictures and I feel like we have so many great shots that are different from a lot of wedding pictures I’ve seen. We have received so many compliments about our pictures and we will absolutely cherish them forever!
Kelly was a joy to work with! She did everything she said she would, and more. We really felt Kelly went above and beyond for us. She was kind, professional, creative, and flexible (traveling all the way to Cape Cod for our wedding day). We couldn't believe we got the photos back as quickly as we did and the work product was superb. If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely still choose to work with Kelly.
Kelly was the perfect photographer our wedding day! I planned my wedding from across the country and was not able to go to Maine until the big day; however, Kelly was quick to respond to my emails, answered all of my questions, and made me feel at ease with all planning. On the day of the wedding she made me feel extremely comfortable as soon as I met her. She took gorgeous photos of us in various settings, including a beach setting that I hadn't even explored at the venue. She photographed everything I asked for and more.
