Above and beyond!

All it took was one phone call with Kelsey to know that she was the right photographer for us and that we would be in good hands.  After speaking with several photographers, Kelsey stood out for her approachable demeanor, communication skills, and honesty.  We immediately felt at ease with Kelsey and decided her photography style and personality were a good match for us.  She was realistic about expectations and honest about not up-selling (e.g., she said there was no need for a second photographer and that she would be able to cover the event on her own).  Kelsey made good on all of her posted timelines and the quality of the photos absolutely met our expectations.  We were able to give Kelsey a shot list that we hoped to get, and Kelsey was able to make sure those were a priority.  Kelsey helped set the wedding timeline and worked extremely well with the other vendors to ensure things stayed on task.  On the day of the wedding, Kelsey was a dynamo, and brought a no BS attitude (in a good way), making sure family photos were done in an orderly and timely fashion.  Kelsey also went above and beyond on the day of the wedding, helping remove an unexpected errant lipstick stain from the wedding dress during the getting ready phase.  Kelsey stepped in to take control of what was a chaotic scene to save the day and avert disaster.  Our experience with Kelsey was great and we really felt like Kelsey delivered on what we paid for.  And beyond her skilled photography, Kelsey has the perfect demeanor for a wedding photographer and was a pleasure to deal with from our first interaction with her through the delivery of our wedding photos.  We cannot thank Kelsey enough.

Kelsey is the best!!

Kelsey was an absolute joy to work with from the start of our wedding planning process. She was so kind and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was flexible throughout our planning process.
The day of our wedding she prompt, so calm and professional and kept us on track while still allowing the photo process to feel fun and natural and we felt relaxed because she was so on top of everything. Not only did we love getting to work with her but our family and friends did too and said how easy she made the whole wedding photo process feel.
She captured all the right shots and more and we are just in love with the final photos and will cherish them forever. Hire Kelsey, she is truly the best!!

Kelsey is Amazing!!

I found Kelsey through different wedding websites when searching for a photographer for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier!! Kelsey is truly amazing! She was great to work with during the planning process and day of the wedding, and really helped us form our schedule for the day and figure out what worked best with the pictures that we wanted, the people involved, our photography locations, etc. On the wedding day Kelsey was more than just our photographer! She helped keep everything on schedule, keep our bridal party and family organized for pictures, and even clean my dress multiple times as it got dirty walking on the streets of NYC. As the bride she made me feel so relaxed and stress free on the day of the wedding, any bride's dream! Also, Kelsey's pictures are AMAZING!! It was very sunny and windy on our wedding day, and Kelsey did an amazing job with both aspects! We were so happy when we got them back, she truly captured every single detail of our wedding day so it felt like we were reliving the day. She captured the little details perfectly, as well as the bigger details such as both my husband's and my reaction during our first look, the ceremony, speeches, dancing, etc. We truly couldn't have been happier! Kelsey is the absolute best and puts so much time and love into her work, any couple who works with her is extremely blessed!

The absolute best!

I had been familiar with Kelsey's work for a few years, so when we got engaged, I knew Kelsey would be the perfect fit for our wedding vision. It wasn't until I got to talk to her that I realized how wonderful she is as both a person and photographer.
Kelsey made everything so straightforward, and the day of the wedding, she was a godsend. Despite the 90+ degree heat, she kept everything on schedule to the minute. She took so much of the stress out of the day, keeping us all relaxed.
I really can't recommend Kelsey enough!

Hiring Kelsey was the BEST decision!

Kelsey Combe is truly amazing! From the moment we hired her, she was professional and fun to work with. She has an unbelievable talent for what she does, and after our engagement photos came back, we knew we had 100% made the right choice hiring her as our wedding photographer. She was responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process and was happy to answer any questions (and like most brides, I had a lot). She happily accommodated every request and was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. She and her husband, Clay, were on time and had the whole day planned out perfectly. I did not have a wedding planner, and there were moments throughout the day that I forgot that because Kelsey had it all covered. Taking pictures can be a long process, but it felt like the time flew by because Kelsey made it easy. Not only was she wonderful to work with, but her photos were unbelievable. The hardest part was only being able to chose about 200 of our 1200 to use for our wedding album because we truly loved them all.

She perfectly captured our day - it was like the photos came to life to tell our wedding day story. All of our friends and family were in awe. We could not have been happier with everything! It would be a mistake not to have her as your wedding photographer.

Kelsey, you are the best and we are forever grateful to have such beautiful memories from our big day!

If you need a photographer in the NY or LA area, YOU MUST HIRE KELSEY!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very start and she took the time to understand “my vision”.

On the day of our wedding Kelsey was early, professional, and kept everyone organized (no easy feat with a wedding party of 16!). During photographs, she had us laughing and kept everything light and natural, while managing to run perfectly on time.

While I’d work with Kelsey again for her professionalism alone, it is her knack for capturing STUNNING photos that puts her in a category all to herself—she is truly a top tier photographer! I am completely in awe of her talent and hiring Kelsey to capture our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made.

Kelsey, we can’t thank you enough and we can’t wait to see what magic you send us :) I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND KelseyCombePhotography for your event!

I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Kelsey for my June wedding at Oceanbleu in Westhampton Beach, New York. Kelsey is knowledgeable, professional, and is exactly who you want to have near you on your wedding day. My husband and I are not necessarily "picture people" and Kelsey made us feel comfortable, made it seem easy and still managed to truly capture our wedding in most wonderful way. The pictures are beautiful, natural, and captured all the little moments - everything you could ask for.
I would recommend Kelsey Combe Photography to anyone - thank you Kelsey!!

I literally have no words for how amazing Kelsey is! I'm an interior designer and had a VERY specific vision for my wedding day and wanted to be as hands-on as possible. For me, the most important piece of the puzzle was choosing a photographer and I searched extensively for one with the perfect aesthetic (light + bright with an emphasis on candid moments), price range and personality. After Kelsey met with us (in our home!) we immediately felt a connection and booked her almost 2 years before our wedding. Kelsey not only acted as a friend and sounding board throughout the long planning process, she also helped us assemble the most kick-ass group of talented vendors (or "friend-ors" as they call themselves) we could have ever imagined. An actual dream-team. On the day of our wedding Kelsey and her husband Clay were professional, cool, calm and collected and made us + our bridal party, family and friends feel so incredibly comfortable. Words can't describe how beautiful our photos turned out - Kelsey's talent is SO evident and the time, love and devotion she pours into her job is exactly what any couple dreams of for their best day ever. We're jealous of all the future couples who get to work with Kelsey - you're the lucky ones! xx

Kelsey in an exceptionally talented photographer, and on top of that she is an amazing sounding board and an incredible human being. Kelsey was known to me and my husband, as she had shot a few of our friends' weddings, so we knew we wanted to work with her. So much so that we actually planned our wedding around Kelsey's availability (yes, I am serious...and yes, she is that amazing). Kelsey was a critical part of our wedding day and helped to keep things moving smoothly. She approached the day with calmness and ease that allowed us relax and enjoy every second of it knowing that we would have even the small moments to look back on. Working with a larger bridal party is no small feat and Kelsey was able the corral the troops with professionalism and grace - and with creativity that made for some excellent shots. I look at our album often and am immediately feel like I am reliving our wedding day all thanks to Kelsey's talented eye and beautiful photos. We had such a wonderful day spending time with Kelsey and are so grateful we were able to do so. I cannot say enough wonderful things without turning this into a novel. Kelsey is the absolute best and anyone would be lucky to have her capture their special moments!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
