Chicago Photographer + Kelly Ry Photography bio picture

Welcome, welcome!

Whether it's my home or my blog, I love visitors.  The ones that come to my home to visit add something new and interesting to the mix of daily life. But then they leave again, forcing me to return to daily life without their smiles and laughter.  The great thing about blog visitors is that they can come again and again, and need never leave. 

Photographer Vincent Versace said, "We came to photography because the world moves us in such a way that we want to photograph what we see so others can be moved the way we were."  And so it was for me.  Despite my deplorable skills with a canvas and paints, I found the joy of creativity with a camera.  

So welcome.  Make yourself at home.  Enjoy the people in love, the gorgeous details, and adorable families.  I'd love to hear from you.

PS. And as much as I love having visitors, I love being a visitor!  Although based in Chicago, IL I have had the pleasure traveling around the world to capture weddings and families, and I would love to come visit you.  Live across the country (or continent) or planning a destination wedding?  I'm a wonderful guest.  And I bring my camera.

Married: Hannah & Matt ~ Chicago Wedding Photographer

When observing Hannah & Matt together, it is clear they have had years to hone their relationship into one that is calm and strong, and yet still playful, as seen on both their wedding day and when documenting their engagement.  They fit together in that way that doesn’t require words, they just are who they...

Couples: Aimee & Courtney ~ Chicago Couples Photographer

Although I greatly enjoy photographing engaged couples in the months before they marry, there is something special about capturing a couple who has been married for some time.  In the case of Courtney & Aimee, it has been 10 years since they promised forever and from what I observed, their relationship is like a wine...
