    Kelly is amazing!

    I believe I first came across Anchored in Love on instagram. From the first phone call, Kelly was personable and so easy going, it’s no wonder she can make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is such a sweet human who loves love and wants to capture your love story from behind her equipment. My husband and I were definitely nervous about being recorded but her prompting and direction felt so natural. I love that she allowed us to send in recordings of how we felt during our wedding and other commentary on how the day went. In my opinion, that’s really what sets her apart is she wants it to be YOUR love story and really, authentically capture your day.

    Went above and beyond our expectations for our big day!

    Working with Kelly and Grey Edwards for our wedding was a breeze. From the beginning they took the time to get to know Albert and I, our relationship, and what we are wanting out of our wedding photos to make sure we were happy with the product. On our wedding day, they truly captured our love in our photos. I can not recommend them enough they are best in the industry!

    Wonderful experience!

    Kelly, Kelly, KELLY! She is not only the sweetest, most open-hearted person, but she is also an incredible professional and really personalizes your experience. Kelly was so accommodable, as she shot our beautiful engagement photos while 9 months pregnant just so that we could get them done while we were home for the holidays. Additionally, she met us the week before the wedding over breakfast to talk out all the details for her videography for the wedding. She incorporated personalized details into our day, and even had us read love notes to each other before we walked down the aisle. So cute! For the night of our wedding, Anchored in Love did our photo booth and it was so much fun. There were so many awesome costume options and our guests had the best time getting their photos taken at the photo booth. At the end of the night, Kelly gave us the most adorable photo album of all the polaroid photos taken, and it will be something I cherish forever. I can’t wait to see the video and I know it will be so amazing!

    Kelly captured our wedding in a way that I don't think any other photographer could. She definitely has an eye for fine details that make a huge difference in her photos, making them much more special. She sent me my slideshow first and I started crying again because it felt like I was reliving the wedding again. The photos told a story of my husband and I's love that words could not even explain. I loved working with Kelly and her response time for my emails and questions was excellent. I would recommend her for anyone who wants their love story told through photography.

    Kelly is a really amazing photographer for a wedding! My sister used her for her wedding a few years ago and I just knew I needed her for mine! To start off I got engaged in July and was having our wedding that October! Luckily Kelly was available and an amazing help throughout the entire process! I was able to receive a discount because my sister was a previous customer and she helped us pick a package that worked perfectly for our budget. Every penny we spent on photography was well worth it! Kelly was also like an event planner in some ways. She helped us break down our wedding timeline, kept us on track the entire wedding day, and was most importantly like having a friend around for support the whole day! All the pictures she took were beautiful and great quality. Our wedding was only about 5 hours long, but we still got a huge amount of pictures. I cannot be more thankful for her services!

    Very personable!

    This was a big splurge from my wedding budget but I consider it an investment because our video has brought back so many memories that we had forgotten from such a busy day! I would do it all over again!

    Anchored in Love's reply:

    Your wedding was unforgettable! I'm so glad we have a video to remember the lovely moments and songs from your wedding day! Thank you so much for letting me capture it.

    We were originally on the fence about hiring a videographer and how it would fit into our overall budget, however, could not have been more happy with our decision to hire Kelly! She somehow managed to capture every detail in a such a magical way and we feel like we are able to re-live our dream day each time we watch our video. Thank you for your beautiful work, Kelly!

    Kelly was AMAZING! She took our engagement photos and they came out beautifully! They are all booked for our little wedding, and did a great job making us a custom package for our needs! We cannot wait for them to capture our big day!

    We loved working with Kelly as our videographer! She took the ideas I had and brought them to life in ways that I couldn't imagine! She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted before the big day and was able to seamlessly blend into the mix of things, capturing some great shots without us having to spend tons of time away from our guests and reception. I was really concerned about budgeting a videographer and had to pinch pennies in our budget, but I would do it 100 times over and I will always treasure the videos we received! I was very impressed with the quality of her work and I literally tear up every time I watch it- EVERY time!!

    When you get married the wedding takes a day or maybe a weekend, but then it is over. Photography and videography are the only things that you will have to remind yourself of those memories. I spent days researching photographers and videographers - comparing images, video and pricing. When I found Anchored in Love, read the reviews - I had a gut feeling they would be perfect. When I met Kelly for the first time, I couldn't help but hug her with excitement. She is a professional, who loves what she does, with an incredible energy and huge heart. I knew that she would capture the day perfectly. I couldn't have been more right. Anchored in Love is amazing. We ended up adding an engagement session to the wedding package - it was priceless to have that time getting to know Kelly even better and getting comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures were fantastic. On our wedding day, it felt like Kelly and Barrett were part of the family. Kelly kept everyone organized, on point & on time, but still managed to make everyone feel like they knew both her and Barrett. We have received our photos and I hardly have the words to explain how fantastic they are. The photos capture the energy, joy, detail, and overall feel of our wedding... to me - that is everything. Look no further for a photographer / videographer if you really value capturing the day - I highly, highly recommend them.

    Possibly one of the best parts of using Anchored in Love as our videographers is that when talking about our highlights video, the response we got the most was "you had a videographer??" My husband was adamantly against having a videographer, so this was hugely important to us.
    I spent a few weeks interviewing several videographers and researching options for a video, and had almost given up when I talked to Kelly. I told her how we didn't want to do a whole bunch of staged shots, or interview our guests, or "act like we were walking down the beach" and her response was "Oh yeah! So you want someone who can just capture if someone falls in the pool". I said YES! And immediately knew Kelly was the right choice for our wedding.

    She was great about sending invoices and payment reminders, and surveys to make sure she knew what was important to us. And since I was out of town, I didn't get to meet her until the day of the wedding. But her and her husband showed up right on time and just immediately got to work. Other than the initial introductions on the day of, and then a request to extend her hours later that night, I never even talked to her, but she managed to get AMAZING footage of our wedding. We are so happy with our highlight video, ceremony and toasts- and even more happy that we paid the extra money for all the raw footage (a feature that a lot of videographers don't even give you the option of)

    The other bonus of having Anchored in Love as our videographer was the add on photo booth. We had debated about the photo booth, but it was one of the selling points that shut my husband up about booking a videographer. Everyone had so much fun, and the digital nature of it was great- just share and upload right to facebook. Us receiving all the photo booth pictures was a hoot too- and some are even making it into our wedding photo album (from a different photographer).

    Overall working with Kelly and Anchored in Love was so easy and awesome!

    Kelly was our photographer for our wedding and I also had a bridal shoot before the wedding. Kelly was very helpful on scheduling a time and place for my bridal shoot, and even provided me a place to get ready. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable and my photos were absolutely breathtaking! Her eye for shots is amazing.
    At our wedding Kelly was so professional, and was very flexible that day as well. I was later than expected getting to the venue, but Kelly changed around her shooting schedule and everything worked out perfect. We still were able to have the amazing before the ceremony pictures that I wanted, and also have great pictures of the venue like we wanted. The pictures from the whole day captured every essence that we wanted, and our pictures are absolutely stunning! We couldn't have a better way to remember our day. The slideshow with the music that Anchored in Love provided us will always be a treasure to us!
    Anytime I had a question or concern, someone would always answer my email or phone call within a few hours to put my mind at ease.
    I will definitely choose Anchored in Love for any of our future family shoots. The quality and value is out of this world!

    Lindsay, you are so sweet! Thank you for this review and for letting me share in such a special time in your life!

    We would absolutely recommend Anchored in love to all of our friends. Kelly took time to look around the venue and see which places would be good for taking pictures. She helped us so much throughout our wedding day and put us at ease. She even taught us how to cut the wedding cake! It was like we had a friend helping us out the entire day. We only have the previews available at this time, but they are absolutely breath taking and we cannot wait to see all of out photos.

    Kelly was fantastic from start to finish. As a bride and only going through this one, its hard to "let go" and let the experts do the work! Kelly was fun, happy and professional the entire time. She also worked with our limited budget and limited time. We couldnt have picked a better photographer and we searched for several!!!

    Thank you so much Rachel! It was a pleasure to be with you on your special day!

    We cannot say enough positive things about the professionalism and service of Anchored in Love. From start to finish they were a pleasure to work with, were attentive to our needs/wants, and always made us feel like their #1 priority. We had such a good time shooting our engagement pictures and the results were outstanding. Having an engagement session and a bridal portrait session helped us both relax in front of the camera on our wedding day. They were glad to travel for our wedding and arranging this with them was no problem at all. It was that much more enjoyable knowing that we had a great team there to document our event. Wedding photos are something to cherish forever and my wife and I are glad we trusted Anchored in Love to capture these moments!!! The photos were worth every penny! Not only do we love our photos, but we loved having Kelly, Josh and their crew at our wedding! It was so much fun we would LOVE to do it all over again with Anchored in Love!

    I can't say enough how much we loved working with Kelly and her husband for our wedding! We absolutely loved all of the pictures and really feel that every moment was captured. Kelly has such a passion for weddings and it is definitely reflected in her work. Not only are they great at what they do, there are also packages to fit your needs. They were even willing to work with us on what was included in our package and essentially created our own personal package. . They truly take the time to make sure that you get everything you want. Honestly there's no need to do any further research on wedding photographers and choose Anchored in Love :)

    We used Josh with Anchored in Love for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He did an outstanding job, we rec'd so many compliments from friends and guests specifically in regards to the level of detail in the photos that were taken. Its so nice to not only see photos of our friends/family on our big day, but also the details like the decor, the food and the event space...which we put so much time and effort into planning and preparing. The day goes by so quickly, so it's nice to relive the day in photos and see the things that we missed within the excitement of the day. Thank you Josh! - Kellie & Matt

    Anchored in Love's reply:

    Yay! Thank you so much Kellie & Matt! We loved being a part of your wedding too! Congratulations!!

    Can't say enough good things about Anchored in Love!! Kelly is an AMAZING photographer (and person!) who will treat you right and make your special day even more special! She was very professional but also very sweet, and incredibly flexible on our wedding day! During group photo time we had many random family and friends who wanted to jump into pictures and Kelly didn't bat and eye. She also made sure that my husband and I got to spend a lot of time taking couple photos together even though we were running way behind schedule. From our "sneak peak" photos, I can tell the rest of them are going to be beautiful!! Would highly recommend!!!

    We were very pleased with how our wedding pictures turned out. Kelly was our photographer and she is amazing!! She is very easy and fun to work with. She made taking pictures enjoyable for me and my husband and our family. She captured everything that I wanted and more. Kelly also took our engagement pictures which turned out perfect! She made this shoot fun for my husband. She selected the battle ship of NC as a place to take pictures, which made him very happy. She drove all the way to Charleston, SC to capture our wedding day! She kept me on schedule for my reception and offered help when I needed it! She is amazing and I am so glad I chose Anchored in Love Photography!
