Hi! My name is Kelly Williams, and I am a wedding and family photographer serving Los Angeles. I love telling the story of someone’s love, life, and happiness in one frame.

I cater to clients seeking a modern, documentary approach to photography that naturally captures the energy and personality of everyone in the room. When you view my photos, I want you to feel like you were standing next to me as I clicked the shutter button.

Nothing short of incredible!

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Kelly as our photographer at our wedding. Let me tell you… she is nothing short of incredible. If you like her work (see her website) do not hesitate to hire her. Here’s why:

- She is extremely responsive to your questions often getting back to you within the day (and sometimes even minutes). She is open to any question, and often even answers your questions before you ask them.
- She leaves no stone left unturned. She is incredibly organized and her style ensures that you are on track both throughout your months of planning and on the day of. The month before the wedding she has you fill out a thought-provoking questionnaire which makes you think about things you would never think of on your own. Believe me, you will appreciate having someone this organized to guide you through wedding planning!
- She is as prepared as they come. For example, during the day of, my wife’s lips were dry and her hair started falling loose. Kelly noticed this and right away offered her tinted chapsticks and hair pins she had on hand! She does venue checks well BEFORE the day of your event to prevent mishaps and ensure the best possible photos!
- She is a comforting presence on the day of. You can really tell she is experienced and is passionate about her work. She served as a great resource for questions. And, she has a way of keeping you calm yet focused.
- She has a quick turnaround time for photographs and gets you highlights quickly before you receive the full set of photos.
- Her work is outstanding. Our loved ones (from different pockets) all commented on how incredible the photos looked and what a wonderful job she did in capturing the pivotal moments. She made Central Park look like The Secret Garden in our engagement Photoshoot.

We learned about Kelly through referrals from two couple friends. When we get together we often talk about what an amazing job she did. Her value extended beyond great photographs as she also became a guiding light who will long be remembered as an important part of our special day. Book her quick before its too late!

Eye of Passion and Captured Memories

Kelly is nothing short of Amazing! From beginning to end she is organized, professional, a pleasure to work with. I knew Kelly had a special eye once I saw other work she had done. The photos she captured for us was everything we expected and more. She really does have a passion for what she does and truly tries to make sure she captures every moment. As the couple getting married you miss so much and that’s where Kelly steps in making sure she gets the special moments people miss or maybe even overlook. And she did a phenomenal job. I can’t thank her enough. We will have these beautiful photos for years to come.

Kind, Professional, Organized

Where do I even start! Kelly photographed myself and my now husband (!!!) for our engagement shoot and wedding day. Our photos were amazing for both occasions. Kelly has a way of capturing all the important “formal” photos without missing the candid ones. Not only are we SO pleased with our photos, but with Kelly as a person. She is so sweet/thoughtful and actually went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure things were running smoothly. Kelly is someone who makes you feel comfortable, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy having your photo taken. Kelly is outstanding and I can’t wait to have another event so I can hire her!!

Great wedding photographer!

Kelly was fantastic to work with! A last minute change in our photography plans made us very anxious but Kelly's professionalism and eagerness to make sure we were happy quickly put our concerns at ease. Her photos came out great and really captured our happiness and celebration! Also, she was very easy to work with, very responsive and accomodating with our requests. We would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Amazing photographer!

I found Kelly while researching our venue, as she had previously shot a wedding there. This was very important to us, we had our wedding at the Bronx Zoo in NYC and wanted someone who knew the quirks of getting married there. Hiring Kelly was the best decision- I cannot imagine another photographer getting the pictures that she did! I am still in awe of how many angles she was able to capture each part of the day from. You would think that there were at least two photographers! Kelly was great to work with, professional and energetic. We started pictures offsite at a hotel and she came in shooting, my mom still comments that she was amazed that as soon as the door to the room opened Kelly came in - camera in hand- and started taking pictures. I honestly don't think she stopped from that point on, everything that we wanted captured she got. I still don't know how she was everywhere at once, but she was. I highly recommend Kelly, she will get the most beautiful pictures of your special day and get them to you quickly!!

It's hard to describe in a short review just how incredible and integral Kelly was to our wedding and wedding-planning experience. Out of all our vendors, Kelly was the most communicative, thorough, and just lovely to hang out with - not to mention insanely talented behind the camera. We were nervous while searching for a photographer at first, because my now-husband is not super comfortable in front of the camera and he's about a foot taller than me, so we tended to look awkward in photos together in the past. But from the moment we sat down with Kelly at our first meeting, we felt immediately at ease. She totally got our vision for our engagement shoot, and was just as enthusiastic as we were about the strange places in Brooklyn we wanted to go to take photos. When we got our photo highlights back from that shoot (within 24 hours), we could hardly believe it was us in the photos. From that time forward, we would joke often that no matter what else went wrong in the wedding-planning process, we knew we'd have fun with Kelly and that our photos would turn out stunningly. And we were right! She even wrote a full blog post detailing all the best parts of our wedding, which our family and friends loved and were able to share widely as a snapshot of the day. We can't imagine our wedding without Kelly!

Kelly is an amazing photographer. I hired her to shoot my elopement 8/25 within a few weeks notice, and she was warm, accommodating, and just as excited as I was. She worked with our tight time frame and budget, and provided the shots that we wanted. Her constant communication put me at ease, and I knew I didn't have to worry about her providing an amazing service for us. We were shocked at her quick turnaround time and couldn't believe how amazing our pictures came out. We are still in awe of her amazing work and everyone that sees our wedding photos are in love as well. Don't hesitate to hire her to shoot your big event. You won't be disappointed.

I honestly cannot say enough great things about working with Kelly! She was so sweet and easy to work with, and we love our photographs. She has a wonderful ability to capture wonderful shots while also fading into the background -- I honestly don't even remember seeing her very much during our reception, but she got so many amazing pictures. Her turnaround time is also super-human: we got nearly 100 pictures within 24 hours after our wedding, and the rest of the pictures less than a month later. I really appreciated how seriously Kelly takes her work -- she did a site visit of our venue with us to really see the space through our eyes, and then she actually went back on her own time to get some pictures of the venue itself for us. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone in need of a wedding photographer, and would not hesitate to use her again for family pictures in the future!

We could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding. Kelly has an amazing eye, is superbly organized, very professional and a true pleasure to work with. We were looking for a documentary/reporting style and she delivered exactly that, she is very responsive, thoughtful and goes above and beyond her scope of work as a photographer (had all sorts of props and tools to help out with the most random tasks, from scissors to cut a ribbon to a hook to tighten up a corset you name it). The coverage she provided was great value compared to others out there and she has a very quick turnaround. Also a fun touch to see her take on the wedding in her blog where she wrote a nice portrait in words (in addition to the wonderful pictures). Truly recommended and would look forward to working with her again!

I cannot say enough great things about Kelly. During the planning stage she was very responsive to emails and helped me finalize my day of timeline. She also thoroughly researched our photo locations, so the couple shots, bridal party, and family photo sessions were not only beautiful, but quick and efficient. I also loved that during the reception she really made an effort to blend into the party while still getting amazing shots. Again, I can't recommend her enough. I've gotten so many compliments on her professionalism and the beauty of her work. Thanks, Kelly!
