Talented and a total sweetheart!

Kelsea was such a delight to work with on our wedding day. Her calm, warm and playful energy warmed us right up and we instantly felt comfortable in her presence. She let us be ourselves, encouraged the right poses and captured the beauty and sweet moments so well. Not to mention she is just a total sweetheart and awesome person, so we truly had fun hanging out with her on our wedding day, which is an important element to consider, since your photographer will follow you around all day! We are so happy we worked with Kelsea and will cherish our photos forever!! She also was very thorough with communication and gathering the right details leading up to the big day and responded quickly and thoughtfully to all of our questions. We also hired her to capture our rehearsal dinner and we were so glad to have photos from a more intimate night before the wedding and get to know her a bit the night before the big day. Do yourself a favor and hire Kelsea -- she is the best!

Amazing Photographer!

Kelsea is an absolute dream to work with! I am incredibly picky when it comes to photographers and I'm so glad I picked Kelsea to take our engagement photos and capture our sangeet, wedding and reception. She is the sweetest and most thoughtful person; someone you just want to be friends with. And her talent matches her great personality. We loved all of our photos so much; we honestly can't stop looking at them. Kelsea has such a great eye for detail and knows how to capture the most absolutely beautiful photos you can imagine.

We met Kelsea at our engagement photo shoot (a great way to get to know your photographer!). Prior to the shoot, Kelsea discussed my vision with me, helped us pick locations for the shoot, as well as select our outfits. She even helped me find my makeup and hair artist for the engagement shoot. I wanted to have a bouquet during the shoot and because I was so overwhelmed with everything that I had on my plate, Kelsea arranged the whole thing--she contacted the florist, sent bouquet ideas/inspiration and even picked up the flowers on the day of the shoot. I wanted to take pictures in three different outfits so Kelsea graciously went over our one hour scheduled shoot time which we are so thankful for because the pictures turned out amazing.

We had a tight timeline for our wedding, so Kelsea, without additional charge, took detail shots of our outfits and invitations the day before the wedding. On the day of our sangeet and wedding, Kelsea was on-time and professional. Despite some chaos with another vendor not showing up and moving our timeline back, Kelsea managed and made time to get our portrait shots (three times in different outfits and lighting!).

We have received so many compliments on our photos and can't wait to frame them and put them up in our house. We look forward to having Kelsea capture many more magical future moments in our life!

We highly recommend Kelsea! You won't regret hiring her for your special day!

You need a Kelsea in your life

This is a review worth reading.
Kelsea photographed our wedding during such an unpredictable time in life, Covid. In the midst of all the uncertainties going on, she still showed up with such enthusiasm and kindness that left a lasting impression. Kelsea is QUALITY work and she is extremely intentional with her time. Every picture is captured with such grace and dreamy perfection. You will look back and realize how worth it was having someone so talented and kind, that you’ll keep hiring her for your future family photos ;)- so I guess she does come with a caveat. Regardless, everyone needs a Kelsea in their life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
