Hi, Im Kelly

 

I'm Kelly, the photographer behind Together & Unscripted. Based in Gainesville, Florida, I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding—not a photoshoot. My approach blends candid storytelling with thoughtful guidance, creating images that are both meaningful and beautiful. Here you'll find real weddings, planning resources, venue guides, and stories from behind the lens.

Anastacia and Jared’s wedding at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens was everything I had imagined it would be! Magnolia Plantation is one of those venues I had admired for years. It is the kind of place that feels timeless the moment you arrive. From the moss draped oaks to the romantic gardens tucked around every corner, it was the perfect backdrop for such a beautiful day. When I finally had the chance to photograph a wedding here, it absolutely lived up to every expectation.



Magnolia Plantation & Gardens Venue


Anastacia and Jared were married on the most beautiful day at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and it could not have fit their vision more perfectly. The entire day felt earthy, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful like something straight out of a dreamy vintage film. From the towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss to the warm golden light filtering through the gardens, Magnolia Plantation was the perfect setting for their wedding day.


Anastasia leaned fully into an organic, nature-inspired color palette with shades of brown, green, burnt orange, and golden yellow woven throughout the details. She envisioned a wedding day with a soft Stevie Nicks feel, and every detail reflected that beautifully. Baby’s breath tucked into her hair, walking barefoot down the aisle, flowing textures, and the most relaxed, romantic atmosphere made the entire day feel so authentic to them. The groomsmen wore dark green suits that blended perfectly with the surrounding gardens and added such a rich, timeless feel to the day.


One of my favorite things about Magnolia Plantation is how naturally cinematic it feels. Every pathway, garden corner, and moss-covered tree created the dreamiest backdrop for portraits. The soft greenery paired with the warm earthy tones gave everything such a romantic and nostalgic feel. It was the kind of wedding day that felt intimate, intentional, and completely unforgettable from beginning to end.
