When we had to relocate our engagement photos, Kalen had no problem helping us find a new place and suggesting the perfect spots. Having to kiss and hold hands in front of a stranger was a little uncomfortable at first, but with Kalen's help and his friendly personality, we were quickly at ease and couldn't wait to keep working with him. Not to mention the photos turned out amazing and got them back quickly!

He was at the venue hours before us, helped us remember where to be at certain times for photos, and caught moments we didn't even see him at. We were nervous at first for the second photographer since we never met, but Bart was just as easy to work with as Kalen. The wedding photos were amazing, clear, and they made sure to get pictures of everyone there. Not only did they work with my husband and I, but our families as well and made it personal for them too.

I can't stress enough how much I would highly recommend Kalen to anyone getting married.

Kalen and his team truly provided an exceptional experience on our wedding day. The second we met I knew it was going to be a great bond. We were so comfortable with him and felt the genuine love he has for photography. Incredible talent to say the least!! Wishing we could do it all over again. Thank you so much Kalen!! We really lucked out with you.

Kalen was the perfect person to have with us on the day of our wedding. He brought such a wonderful team of photographers and videographers with him. What was so wonderful was how comfortable and calm he kept us all-day. He was a guiding light throughout our pre-party, ceremony and reception, and George and I appreciated having him lead us through our wedding. I would highly recommend working with Kalen

We found Kalen when he was photographing a work event, for which he did an amazing job! Throughout the lead-up to our wedding, Kalen was thoughtful, professional, and accessible. In addition to our routine email communications, we had two extensive in-person meetings in anticipation of the wedding: once early on, to establish the general plan and details, and once a few weeks before the event, to dot and cross the proverbial i’s and t’s. The meetings were equal parts fun and professional, and Kalen made us feel comfortable and confident that our special day would be captured in an unforgettable way.

Throughout the day itself, Kalen arrived on time with his assistant, Will. They captured excellent shots from 10am, when we were getting ready, to 10pm, when the DJ played “Closing Time.” Taking a series of staged shots can be an awkward enterprise, but Kalen and Will made everyone comfortable and blended right in with all 200-some of our guests. Photography aside, so many of our guests remarked on how fun, funny, and friendly our photographers were. They also went above and beyond several times during the ceremony and reception. When nobody else was in the immediate vicinity, Kalen guided the bride’s grandmother to her seat and talked to her. His kindness left such an impression on her that she still talks about him now, three months after the ceremony. We wonder how many people can say their wedding photographers felt like an essential part of their wedding experience apart from the actual photography!

And as for the actual photography, the shots themselves came out beautifully. Kalen and Will knew just how to make use of both natural and artificial light. The posed shots look great, and the candids capture so many authentic moments from the day. They found unique angles and locations for some beautiful “artsy”-er pictures and excellent quality in the more traditional ones. Our wedding day was a rush, but looking at the hundreds of wonderful pictures Kalen and Will took and edited for us has allowed us to relive it moment by moment. We couldn’t recommend them more strongly!

Kalen and his team were nothing short of phenomenal on the most special day of our lives. We had a small wedding in the backyard of the house I grew up in, our first look was at the ocean front, and the guest list was small including only family and the closest of friends. There were only so many opportunities to capture the few moments that were special to us. Kalen didn’t miss one of them. In fact he captured moments that we never expected to see. Not only were Kalen and his team outstanding and professional but they blended in right along with the guests which allowed all the focus to be on the bride and groom. Kalen and his team did such a great job of capturing the scenery, our family and friends and all the special moments in between. Lastly we received our edited photos in the mail on a thumb drive very soon after all was said and done. I would highly recommend Kalen to anyone who needs a photographer to capture something special going on in their lives.

Kalen and Will captured our wedding day on October 14, 2017. Kalen was recommended to me by my brother and sister-in-law from their wedding 5 years prior. I already witnessed his work at their wedding so I knew what to expect and was impressed with his work then and even more impressed with my wedding photos now. I couldn't be any happier with the final product. Beautiful! Stunning! Really captured our special day! Kalen and Will's fun and unique personalities also helped to enhance our moods in the pictures and they helped to create many spur of the moment great shots. Looking forward to seeing you in action again at another wedding this fall 2018!

I have been in about 5 weddings that Kalen has photographed so it was a no brainer when it was time for my wedding! He is so laid back and easy to work with. He makes it easy to feel comfortable around him and his crew and sometimes you even forget they are there, all the while he's capturing everything from your day! He is so flexible and his packages are very budget friendly. I cannot wait to see all my final pictures!

Kalen Foley and his assistant, Will, are the perfect photographers for any special event. 
Kalen and his team are not only talented at their job, but they are also wonderful people.
I first met Kalen in 2009 when he was the photographer for my sister's wedding.
He did a fantastic job capturing the wedding, and we have gone back to him repeatedly for other special family events and functions. We have never been disappointed.

When I got engaged last November, I knew immediately whom I would want to photograph my special day. I reached out to Kalen and booked him right away. It was very important to me to feel comfortable with my photographer, and I was comfortable with Kalen from the first moment I met him in 2009. He has an easy, caring, and understanding personality that melts stress away. Also, he always made himself available to me via email or phone. It was wonderful to talk with him whenever I needed to ask him anything. 

Kalen goes above and beyond as a photographer and does his homework if he isn't familiar with a venue. He takes the time to explore the venue and makes a plan for what he believes will create the best photographs. Additionally, he is more than happy to take any pictures that you suggest. 

His passion for his job is evident. During my wedding, Kalen's contracted time had expired, but he remained at my wedding reception. He knew that my husband's band might take the stage at the end of the evening to play a song or two. They eventually did - and I was thrilled that Kalen was there to capture it all.

In the end, Kalen sent us over 1,000 pictures of our wedding day, and it was so enjoyable to go through every one. He missed nothing of our special day.

If you need an excellent, reliable, hard-working, and fun photographer for any event, Kalen and his team are the only way to go. I recommend him to all of my friends and family, and I plan to use him for future special events.

Thank you so much, Kalen and Will!

Kalen did an AMAZING job at our wedding!!! He was very professional and interactive the whole 14 hours he was there during our wedding day. We asked him to put together some pictures from the wedding to put on a slideshow at the beginning of the reception, which he was more than willing to do, and our guests loved it! When we did get the pictures there was over 1200. It was overwhelming to go through so many pictures, but I appreciated having so many so that no moment was missed of our special day. Though our wedding was long due to having an Indian ceremony in the morning, Kalen never complained about having to stay longer than the average wedding. He was very fair and accommodating from the moment we booked him. He even met with us prior to the wedding at the venue. We got his photobooth too, which had the most unique props, and his photobooth operator and second photographer were both awesome! All three of them were very interactive with us and our guests, which made us feel so much more comfortable having our picture taken all day. When we finally did go through all of the pictures, there was so many beautiful pictures where he caught the moment so well. It took me right back to that day and that very emotion I was feeling at that time. I highly recommend Kalen for any type of wedding!!!

Kalen was the first photographer we met with and we instantly knew he was who wanted to capture our big day. From the start, Kalen was extremely easy to work with. We didn't live in NJ and he made time to Skype with us for our initial meeting and created a custom package for our specific needs. We had an amazing engagement shoot -- he came out to NY in summer traffic and didn't leave until asking if we had all the shots we wanted. We received our pictures back two weeks later and they were absolutely gorgeous. Kalen was also very flexible. For our wedding, we had some unforeseen circumstances and needed to up our video coverage from 4 to 7 hours at the last minute. The day of the wedding Kalen and his assistant Will came early and put everyone at ease with their calm personalities. They were completely unobtrusive -- aside from the formal pictures taken at the beginning I don't remember seeing them! It was a long day, but Kalen made sure to again ask me if there were any specific pictures I wanted and stayed until the bitter end of the reception.

Will update once I receive the wedding pictures back
