Alaska-based travel photographer chasing the parts of life you’re celebrating — and delivering gorgeous, living moments you’ll never forget.
Tell me what were packing for
I photograph the celebrations and milestones that matter — from families and seniors to weddings, destination elopements, maternity sessions, and full travel photography for destination weddings. Mexico, Hawaii, the coast, the desert, your hometown — anywhere you make memories. If you’re searching for an Alaska travel photographer, a destination photographer, or someone who can meet you wherever life is happening, I’m already packing the bags.
Based in Alaska and always ready to travel
Alaska is home, but the world is fair game.
Kelcy Burford
An Alaska girl with a (very nice) camera, a perpetually half-packed suitcase, and a magnetic pull for any moment that feels like it matters. Mexico, Hawaii, the coastline, your favorite hometown corner - I’m gunning to photograph you the way you actually are: warm, alive, and, well, You.
If I'm going to have a bad day, I'd rather it be at the beach
Tori — Engagement Session
“Kelcy is truly amazing! She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. We are both pretty reserved people and taking photos gives us anxiety — BUT not with Kelcy. She made us laugh and directed us during the whole thing. 1000% recommend her for all your photography needs.”
Stephanie - Family Portrait
“Kelcy has done many different types of photo shoots for me and my family. Her love for photography and kindness always show through. She’s fantastic at understanding and capturing her clients’ vision. If you don’t know how to pose, she walks you through it and it always goes smoothly. Her sessions are fun and usually full of laughter. I love all the moments Kelcy has captured for my family!”
Emily - Wedding
“Kelcy was accommodating from day one, and her passion for photography shines in everything she does. This was a destination wedding, and I was stressed, but she went above and beyond to make me feel secure. On the wedding day, Kelcy came early with great energy and enthusiasm. She had a plan, was efficient."
