Kelly Palencar

Kelly, Akron Wedding Photographer

Ohio local Kelly has been immersed in photography for over a decade. What began as a love for art and creative portraiture evolved into a deeper passion for storytelling capturing emotion, connection, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments.

She studied photography at The Cleveland Institute of Art before earning her degree in Hospitality Management with a minor in Event Planning from Kent State University. That combination of creative and hospitality experience has shaped her approach — she values thoughtful preparation, clear communication, and creating a comfortable environment for every couple she works with.

Kelly brings a calm and friendly presence to each wedding day, helping couples feel at ease in front of the camera while capturing their day with care and attention to detail. She loves connecting with people and being part of preserving such meaningful memories.
