Editorial-inspired, story-driven images that capture every quiet glance, every loud laugh, and everything in between — created for couples who want to remember how it all felt.



At Kali Love Stories, wedding photography is more than beautiful images — it’s about telling the story of how it felt to be there.


After leading photography for one of the top proposal planning companies and documenting over 100 weddings at New York’s iconic City Hall, I’ve transitioned into traditional wedding photography because I genuinely love the depth, energy, and connection that full wedding days bring. I understand the rhythm of these moments — the quiet glances, the loud joy, and everything in between — and I know how to capture them without interrupting the flow.


My style blends candid documentary coverage with editorial-inspired portraits. You’ll get timeless images that are artful, emotional, and real — not overly posed or overly processed.


I’m based in New York City and photograph weddings across the five boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, and destinations worldwide.

Meet Kali

I’m Kali — the photographer behind Kali Love Stories. Before stepping into full traditional weddings, I led photography for one of the top proposal planning companies in New York and captured over 100 weddings in a single year through my work at City Hall. That pace taught me how to anticipate emotion, move with intention, and stay focused when everything’s happening fast.


Traditional weddings allow me to slow down and be more intentional — to create images that feel real, romantic, and timeless. What I love most is documenting the in-between moments — the quiet nerves before the ceremony, the joy that spills out during your first dance, and the way your people celebrate you.


This work is deeply personal to me. While Kali Artistry is where my journey in photography began, Kali Love Stories is where I get to tell yours.
