Hoedspruit Wedding and Elopement Photographer - Kelly Mae Photography

Behind the Lens

Hi, I’m Kelly.

I am a wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer with a heart rooted in Hoedspruit, South Africa’s Lowveld—a land of breathtaking landscapes and untamed beauty. This is where most of my work comes to life, but I’ll go wherever your love takes you.

 

My approach is inspired by the poetry in real, unfiltered moments — the way your hands find each other without thinking, the laughter that echoes when no one else is watching, and the quiet joy that fills the space between you. Through my lens, I create a safe, intentional space for you to be fully yourselves, capturing not just what your love looks like, but how it feels.

I’m also a wife, a mama of two wild and wonderful little ones, and someone who finds magic in life’s perfect chaos. My journey into photography began as a way to freeze time—first for my own family, and now for couples like you, navigating life’s most extraordinary seasons.

 

I believe the best photos aren’t just pictures; they’re stories, heirlooms, and windows to the moments you’ll treasure forever. It’s an honor to witness and document your love in all its wild, messy, and beautiful wonder, helping you fill your walls and your hearts — with memories that last a lifetime.

MY Approach

1

Celebrate The Real You

Your love is unique, and your wedding day should reflect that. I focus on creating a space where you can be fully present and unapologetically you, whether it’s saying “I do” in the wild or dancing under the stars.

Storytelling Through  Moments

The magic is in the details—the quiet touches, shared laughs, and fleeting glances. I capture the in-between moments that tell your story with timeless emotion and meaning.

Connection Over Convention

Your day should feel like your love story, not anyone else’s. I’ll help guide you in creating a meaningful, stress-free experience that’s as unforgettable as the photos themselves.
