PERSONALITY: Daren is warm, friendly and easy going. My husband HATES getting his photo taken and before he deployed to Iraq I took him to another photographer but it was like pulling teeth to get him to loosen up. Not so with Daren! Taking pictures with Daren was relaxed & comfortable. At times we sort of forgot he was there snapping away as my hubby and I enjoyed little moments together. FAST PHOTO NINJA: Daren is a TRUE talent because he gets the perfect shots quick! What’s amazing is he is everywhere & he moves fast. We got married at a tri-level outdoor venue on a hot day and he was running all over the place getting pictures of everything. At times we didn’t even see him yet he must have had his eye on us because there were many spectacular photos that we didn’t even realize he took. He was never invasive which is important on the big day & my guests raved about how they would see him working away but he was never in the way once. PROFESSIONALISM EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS: He clearly loves his work and strives to put forth his best. He is extremely detailed and thorough. He provides an in depth questionnaire that helps to ensure that he misses nothing and no one of importance to you on your big day. He showed up more than 2 hours early to scope out my venue. Daren never stopped for a break! EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICE: The results from our engagement session were great but our wedding…WOW! Our photos arrived beautiful and in a timely manner. He was quick to develop our website link and organized our photos for viewing/sharing.The quality & resolution of the images are spectacular & he captured many special moments. His pictures brought to life all the love, beauty and emotion of our day and several brought tears to my eyes as I got to see them for the first time. He & his wife are class acts! She even sent a gift! If you have the opportunity to hire Daren Kelley, don’t think twice just book, book, book! The quality for the $ can't be beat!
