Kelli Schoefer
Kelli attended SUNY New Paltz College but admits "Most of my knowledge of photography came from hands-on experience that I don’t think I ever could have received from a classroom."
Eight years ago she met Anthony while he was shooting a friend's wedding. Kelli says she loved the vibe that the team brought to the event and she was hooked. She began working at the studio soon after the wedding alongside other members of the team.
Since then Kelli has refined her eye and truly loves her job more and more every day. "Life can get so busy sometimes, and there is no way we can recall every moment and every expression, but at least with photographs we can look back at more than we can remember on our own. I love photography because I can give people those extra moments to look back on."
Kelli loves doing a "first look" on a wedding day and it being so obvious that the bride and groom to be are perfect for one another. Their love is the reason she loves weddings. People often ask her if weddings have started to seem similar and blend together, and her answer is "Absolutely not. No two love stories are the same, and so no two weddings are the same."
Kelli spends her free time enjoying her two young children, making them laugh and creating memories, which she loves to catch on film!
