About

Kelly Guenther is a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist. New York Magazine listed her as one of the top wedding photographers in NYC. She and her team of accomplished photojournalists have been published in Time, Newsweek, The New York Times and other publications around the world. Their unobtrusive, storytelling style captures the true spirit of the wedding day.

"I believe there are no 'do-overs' in real life. A laugh, wink, that stolen kiss, all happen in a split second. I know how to anticipate a moment and be there when it happens. My goal as a photojournalist is to tell stories that have an impact on people's lives, to make a difference. I know my couples will treasure their wedding photos for generations to come and I am truly honored to give them that gift. I've personally photographed over 200 weddings. You'd think all that white taffeta and buttercream frosting would make me cynical about weddings but it's just the opposite. I get to document pure joy and love. That's just not something most people get to see everyday. I see it almost every weekend and by the end of the night my face hurts from smiling so much behind the camera. I find it inspirational and it drives me to be a better photographer, a better person."

An Amazing Photographer

If you want a very natural -- almost documentary style photographer for your wedding, you cannot go wrong with Kelly Guenther. She will capture so many extraordinary moments and, even better, you will never know she is there. I cannot recommend her enough.

Loved our photos

We hired Kelly for our 2/25 wedding, and she was incredible! She was responsive, detailed, and professional. We absolutely love our photos and her style of shooting. She captured everyone naturally, and we have loved looking back on the small moments and personalities that shine through.

Kelly is amazing!!

We spent a lot of time looking at different photographers, but as soon as we talked to Kelly we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. She was so fun and easy to talk to, super helpful with suggestions on timing and locations for photos, and also very open to hearing what we wanted and were looking for. We even booked her without ever meeting in person first - and it was one of our best wedding decisions.

She is extremely professional and responsive - questions and emails were always answered within 24 hours. Post wedding - we got our top photos within an incredibly short turnaround time - which was so much fun to keep our excitement from the wedding going!

And, of course, she is an extremely talented photographer. We didn't want our photos to look staged - Kelly is a MASTER at capturing perfect candid moments for both us (as a couple) and our wedding party and guests. Kelly was so fun to have around throughout the entire wedding, and was with us for every moment of the wedding - she stayed right in the middle of the dance floor for the whole night to capture phenomenal action shots - she has an incredible eye. She is able to be right in the thick of the action while also blending into the environment.

We loved working with Kelly and cannot recommend her enough!
