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!

Our family has now worked with Kelsea across two very special occasions: my wedding and our first family photo session. Each time she has been such a pleasure to work with during the shoot, always captures your best angles and the end result are beautifully shot photos of your most important life moments.

She recently agreed to a last-minute photo shoot with my family in which she travelled down to Santa Barbara for, and we just can't thank her enough. We will work with Kelsea for all of our photo shoots in the future and were incredibly lucky to find her.

Don't hesitate ... just book her! We heart you, Kels. :)

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!

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!

Kelsea is a incredibly talented photographer. After seeing her work and falling in love with her style of photography, my husband and I were lucky enough to book her for our wedding. She is very warm, sweet and friendly. Both Kelsea and Paul Wreesman(2nd shooter and talented videographer) were organized, professional and captured our wedding beautifully. The amount of detail and thought that these two put into shooting are immeasurable. We would highly recommend Kelsea Holder Photography to anyone! Capturing these pivotal moments are priceless and for us it was worth every penny! Thank you so much Kelsea for meeting and exceeding our expectations!

Kelsea is absolutely amazing. She is sweet and fun to work with and captures the most incredible photos. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and has a great sense of vision.

Kelsea was amazing to work with. I live in LA and she was so flexible in making time to talk to me and figure out scheduling of pre-wedding shoots and all of the events. I had a traditional Indian wedding and Kelsea was great about being able to move around, take direction from lots of people, and most importantly getting amazing shots of myself and family. Her work is wonderful and we have gotten a lot of compliments on the photographs and portraits that she shot. The combination of a great personality, incredible talent and work ethic really make her a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to work with her again for future events.

Kelsea did an amazing job for our wedding! We planned our whole wedding in 2 1/2 months and booking a photographer with that amount of time is not easy. She was so great about sitting down with me and going over what I wanted to capture on that special day. She spent the entire day with me, came to my hair appointment and we stopped at the reception venue to take pictures there also. We didn't have a lot of time in between the wedding and reception to get all of our group shots and pictures of me and my husband but she is so great at time management and busted it out without compromising the quality of our photos. She captured everything I asked for and I would pick her all over again!
She also took our engagement photos, newborn photos of our son, and family photos. All of them turned out better than I could have imagined! With her artistic eye she can take your vision, combine it with hers and provide you with beautiful photos that you'll cherish forever! She's fun too, and makes you feel so comfortable all the time (which isn't always the case with a camera on you) so that's just an added bonus! : )

Kelsea is an artist! She has the utmost level of professionalism and an excellent team. We aren't the most comfortable people in front of a camera, but she made us feel welcome and relaxed throughout our events. She captured every "perfect moment!" We started with Engagement pictures and quickly fell in love. This past June Kelsea and her crew captured our wedding perfectly. We couldn't have asked for more!

Kelsea,

Just wanted to shoot you a BIG THANK YOU for all of your time, energy, and direction for Saturday's BIG event! We honestly cannot Thank You enough for the beautiful work that we are so anxiously waiting for! You and your crew are very young, experienced, and successful! May your skills and desire to continually expand your passion grow with you at the speeds that you're currently traveling!

Hold Paul Wreesman and Riley tight, things wouldn't have been the same without them.

Thank You! You're AMAZING!!!
