The Story Behind Celeste:
Capturing Memories, Crafting Legacies
Hi, I’m Woody Kelly, the founder of Celeste. My journey into the world of wedding videography and photography began in Denver, Colorado, where my passion for storytelling through cinematic visuals first took root. What started as a love for capturing life’s fleeting moments has grown into a career dedicated to preserving the magic of wedding days.
At Celeste, we don’t just document your wedding—we craft a story that reflects the emotions, details, and beauty of your special day. Whether it’s the grandeur of a destination wedding, the intimacy of a sunset ceremony, or the vibrant energy of your reception, my team and I are here to make every moment unforgettable.
We bring more than just cameras to your wedding—we bring expertise, creativity, and a commitment to making your day as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our team comes fully equipped, offering tailored packages that fit your vision, complete with stunning drone footage, cinematic highlight reels, and full-length films that let you relive your day for years to come.
Having traveled far and wide, from breathtaking mountaintops to serene beachside venues, we specialize in destination weddings, blending the beauty of your location with the timeless essence of your love story. You can check out my personal travel content and get a sense of my style and inspiration on my Instagram page: @woodkell.
At Celeste, we believe every wedding is unique, and we’re here to ensure your story is told with elegance, heart, and authenticity. Let us help you create memories that last a lifetime.
