Creative, masterful photographer who is amazing to work with!

Kelly takes incredible photos and we couldn't have been happier with her work. She did both our engagement photos and wedding and we were blown away with the results on both occasions. In terms of photo style and quality, she captures the authenticity, love, joy, and humor of the best moments for you and your guests and masterfully composes her shots with the perfect use of lighting and background. Working with her is also an absolute delight. As people who usually feel awkward in front of a camera, my wife and I felt comfortable and at ease being photographed by Kelly. She is the perfect combination of calm and laid-back, yet punctual and focused on getting the best photos. On the day of our wedding, we were impressed with how well she adapted to certain delays, got us back on track and made great choices around where to take certain photos based on the weather and time available. I can't imagine a better photographer than Kelly and highly recommend!

Creative & highly skilled in her craft!

As we were planning our Nov 2021 wedding, we knew we wanted to choose a photographer that was not only skilled and professional in their craft, but also a warm and calm presence to have onsite during wedding day. Kelly is all of the above. She has a wonderful energy and was able to capture so many special, candid moments throughout the day. Our indoor venue didn't have the best lighting conditions, but it doesn't show at all in her work. The photos are absolutely phenomenal - we are THRILLED with how the gallery turned out and will cherish these images for a lifetime. She is incredibly talented and is a master at her art. We completely trusted her to both gather all the standard family portraits, but also use her creative eye to create some more abstract, candid work that she excels at. Kelly was very flexible throughout the day and nothing felt stressful or rushed - she provides a relaxing atmosphere and works so smoothly with other vendors. We highly suggest adding to Kelly to your vendor team!

Incredibly talented photographer

Kelly was a dream to work with. She is extremely thoughtful in her work and captured the sweetest - and funnest - moments. We had an intimate Covid wedding and Kelly was very flexible and understanding every step of the way. Around the middle of the night she even checked in to make sure she was getting everything from our photos wish list and if we had any new requests. Our guests also loved her. She brought a really warm, fun energy. Can't recommend her enough!!

Perfect, beautiful photography!

Kelly was the perfect photographer for our big, DIY wedding. She was friendly, professional, and made an effort to get to know us and our wedding vibe (when we met at her Philly studio, she had drinks and our favorite snacks waiting for us). She was able to single-handedly capture our 180-guest wedding and provide the perfect blend of portraits and candid photography. She blended in with the guests, made everyone comfortable, and had no problem walking backward into a fountain in order to frame a shot. :) We didn't hire a videographer, so we relied on her natural photography to document the wedding . . . and we couldn't be happier with the results!

Beautiful photographs and a stress-free experience!

Kelly did an amazing job capturing our wedding. We could not have asked for more beautiful pictures and the experience working with her was pleasant and stress-free from start to finish. She was super organized, listened carefully to what we wanted and made it happen. We've been married a year now and I am still just as in love with these pictures as I was when I first saw them. Highly recommend working with Kelly!

Not Just A *Another* Photographer

Kelly is not just another [wedding] photographer, she is a genuinely keen artist who earnestly and enthusiastically cares for the images she creates during your special day.

Astonishing Talent!

Kelly is such an exceptional photographer. She is as much talented as she is genuinely caring. I was super nervous about being photographed for our engagement/wedding photos. Within minutes of meeting Kelly she made me feel so comfortable and excited to take photos! She was incredibly sweet, eager to please and genuine about getting to know us as a couple. She knew I had designed my wedding and made sure that I had exactly what type of photos I was looking for without even having to ask. She captured every last detail. Especially the moments we will cherish forever. Coming from a very big blended family I was astounded at her professionalism making sure every last person was included. Our photos were absolutely stunning. I could not even believe just how beautiful every single last photo was. She captured such breathtaking moments that make me tear up every time I look at them. Because of this Kelly will forever hold a place near and dear to my heart and I am sure she will for you too! - Lee

We stan Kelly

Kelly is such a warm person. I've known Kelly for a few years and worked with her at many weddings. We hired her to photograph our wedding based on that experience.

It was important to us that our photographer be someone who's personality would make us feel comfortable on our wedding day. My (now) husband and I are very anxious people and Kelly was so good with that. She knew everything to say, how to keep us on time without stressing us out, how to manage our families quickly and painlessly for family photos – all day she was great.

She finished the photos quickly and sent us a preview during the honeymoon. The photos are BEAUTIFUL. Her work is honestly brilliant. It's timeless & cinematic. Our day flew by and there were so many things/moments we missed. We spent months designing decor and I swear I blacked it out. I never thought the detail photos (photos of stuff like our candles, seating chart, etc) would matter to me but it was so great to see things like that which I barely noticed the day of the wedding. Her and our second photographer captured all of the guests enjoying themselves (not just existing), did many group photos, and just overall killed it.

Also, she's able to create a checklist and dismiss it when it's no longer suiting the couple/wedding...being able to pay that kind of attention to a couple on a wedding day, while also being focused on making great photos, is a rare skill. We are eternally grateful for Kelly and so happy we chose her to document our day.

Best decision we made for our wedding

Kelly was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process! I feel very lucky to have come across her work, since she had photographed another wedding at our venue before, and I loved her style. From the first phone call I could tell that she would be a calming presence on what can be a very stressful day, and she was. She also put together a rough timeline of the day just from our initial chat, which I found really impressive and reassured me that she would be able to work with our somewhat tricky plan to take a ferry to our portrait spot. We met Kelly for the first time during our engagement portrait session and I knew we had made the right decision. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and had so much fun walking around our neighborhood snapping photos. During the wedding day she made sure to get all of the special photos we requested, but I really can't wait to see all of the candids that she took. Just from the preview photos I've seen so far, I know she captured so many memories that I had forgotten about. I almost forgot that during the wedding she quickly showed me two different versions of what low light photos would look like (with and without flash) and asked which I preferred, which I so appreciated! I also want to mention how wonderful her second photographer, Marianna, was. It felt like having 2 more friends at our wedding, and my husband agrees that this was one of our best planning decisions. Definitely hire Kelly!

Kelly is the best!

My husband and I had an intimate wedding in Philadelphia and chose Kelly as our photographer after seeing her work featured in some local articles. She is truly amazing! Kelly was so sweet to chat with before the big day. When we officially met on the wedding day, I knew she was going to be perfect. We had a timeline, and even though some things got shifted around, she was calm and accommodating. We received our sneak peeks and are already in love with the emotion she was able to capture. We cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you, Kelly for helping make our day as perfect as it was.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
