Perfect experience from beginning to end

Kelly was recommended by our venue and was a perfect photographer to work with for our wedding day. From our very first introductory meeting, we felt like she really understood our vision for the day. She made the entire process so easy and was wonderful to work with on the big day. We can't recommend her enough!

We absolutely loved working with Kelly!

Kelly is incredible! I had found her via Googling for local "documentary style" photographers, and then coincidentally realized she was also one of the preferred photographers for our venue (the Lyman Estate), which was perfect because she knew the venue so well.

From our very first call, Kelly took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we were most excited about for our wedding and for the images we would capture together. I am so tough on myself in photos, but Kelly was so understanding of my insecurities and provided advice and guidance for us throughout the day of our wedding so that the pictures would turn out great.

Our wedding was in early October, and we got the most amazing sneak peek photos back just a few days afterwards! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos soon. Thank you Kelly!!

Absolutely Stunning!

While we knew that Kelly was a very talented photographer when we booked her, we were still completely blown away by how stunning the photos came out. She inconspicuously blends into her surroundings and captures such beautiful, raw moments. She magically encapsulates the pure energy and happiness of the day to relive over and over. We feel so grateful for these photos, and we cannot recommend her enough.

Goes above and beyond!

Kelly is an amazing photographer, who did not disappoint. From the moment she arrived on our wedding venue, she went to work, taking pics of the scenery, as well as of us getting ready. Kelly captured pivotal moments in the night, and even stayed a little extra to get some great shots. Kelly takes her work very seriously, and we could not be happier with our decision to hire her for the event of a lifetime. Thank you Kelly! You are truly a sweetheart, and made our day so wonderful!

Cannot recommend more highly!

We can’t recommend Kelly enough! We were initially drawn to her laid-back and natural style and are so happy we decided to work with her for our wedding. From the very beginning stages of inquiring, we could tell that she had a genuine interest in who we were as a couple and in how to make capture our wedding. She was communicative and accessible throughout the planning process, and had lots of helpful suggestions for timing and logistics as we were planning the details of the day. We had a very small (12 guest) wedding at a family home, and despite the intimate setting, she fit smoothly into the entire day. She captured so many different perspectives during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and it was such a joy to review them all after the wedding. She has an amazing eye for emotion and naturalism, and her photos truly captured how we were feeling during the day. She delivered the full gallery promptly, and even emailed us ahead of time to be sure she sent it at a time we’d be home and able to enjoy it together, which was so thoughtful. All of our friends and family have commented on how beautiful and full of emotion our photos are, and we truly couldn’t be happier. We will definitely be recommending her to future couples!

Beautiful photos from a trusted professional

Tldr; for those who want beautiful portraits and candids of their wedding day and a seamless process with a kind professional, please do yourself a favor and book Kelly stat!

We got married on 9/24/22 and cannot recommend Kelly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From our initial meeting to our receiving our final photographs, we could not have asked for more. Here are just some reasons out of many why you should hire Kelly: 1. She is not just your photographer, but a sounding point for ideas! She always responded to any questions promptly and in check-in meetings prior to our wedding day, Kelly not only proposed some great settings for our photos, but also recommended a cute idea on how to incorporate iphone pictures into an otherwise phone-free ceremony. We were very prepared day-of on what to expect. 2. She is a calming presence on the day. I think she might be a magician - I did not notice her during our ceremony but she captured all the special moments. 3. Last but definitely not least, the end results were beautiful. We had so many favorites to choose from and she did a great job with all sorts of lighting for our outdoors/tested wedding. From the start, her subtle, candid style spoke to us and we were not disappointed with the final results. Thank you Kelly!!

Dream wedding photos

Kelly was an incredible wedding photographer and I want to give her the highest recommendation. For context, I got married at the end of August and I still look at my wedding photo online album daily (it's now December). There are MANY reasons we loved having Kelly as our photographer but I think the following really makes her stand out from other photographers:
- Her photos capture real life and raw emotions. She told us upfront to just go about our day acting like she wasn't there. I thought this would be hard but it wasn't at all. She rarely had us or wedding attendants pose for photos. This resulted in photos that truly told our story rather than just telling who was in attendance.
- Her photo style appears more natural and authentic compared to the commonly seen (and overdone, in my opinion) "light and airy" or overexposed looks. This does result in a few shots being more dark/moody which I actually loved.
- She was confident in shooting a larger wedding without a second shooter. We initially thought we'd have around 150 people and she said she could shoot this size alone. We ended up with closer to 125 and I feel like every single part of the night and person in attendance was captured beautifully.
- She made the day about us. She is quiet but mighty in terms of capturing the day perfectly without intruding on the moment. I have been in weddings where the photographer was loud, bossy, and overly involved in the wedding events and I felt so uncomfortable. Kelly was the complete opposite of this!
- We needed to add another hour of shooting to our package at the start of the day and she was very flexible in accommodating this. She even stayed past our contact time to capture a few more dancing photos and us signing our marriage certificate with our closest friends.
Overall, if you made it this far, all I have to say is book with Kelly ASAP before she is booked!!

Simply the Best!!

There is a reason that Kelly has won on Wedding Wire for best photographer multiple years in a row. She is simply the best. No only does she capture beautiful, authentic, real moments of you and your spouse on your wedding day, but she helps to guide you through the process every step of the way.

Kelly helped me position my bouquet just perfectly in shots, get my 3 year old niece to stand for formal photos, helped wrangle my extended family for a group shot mid reception and capture all the little moments in between.

She is truly a professional at what she does and has a cool, calm demeanor about her that makes you want to offer a genuine warm smile. Thank you Kelly for all you did to capture our wedding day, I would recommend you to anyone!

Amazing from Beginning to End

Kelly's calm personality and attention to detail was exactly what we needed for our wedding. We met her in person for the first time during our engagement session and were immediately at ease and comfortable with her. Our engagement and wedding photos were fantastic, and she turned a preview around only a few days following our wedding. She was a joy to work with and we can't recommend her highly enough.

Amazing eye for detail & emotion + great poise amidst wedding chaos!

Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer, and we could not recommend her more highly. She was warm and incredibly patient with us as we tried to optimize the number of photos (and configurations of friends and relatives) that we could capture outdoors without masks in the time between our ceremony and reception. Her expertise was so helpful and we really appreciated her can-do attitude! Even under a time crunch and with lots of “cooks in the kitchen”, she handled it all with poise, and was very effective at asserting her authority and keeping things moving. We really appreciated that.

We’ve just been reviewing photos, which came a week ago or so, and all of them are absolutely gorgeous-- she has such an eye for authentic candid emotion and small moments. Hire Kelly!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
