She doesn't just take pictures, she captures LOVE.

My first call with Kelsey immediately put me at ease. As my husband says, we "vibed." She has such a warm personality and cares about her craft. She took time to get to know us over the phone since she's based out of Tennessee, we live in Virginia and were opting out of the engagement session (although those look amazing on her Instagram!!). She asked how we met and what we were looking for in our wedding photos. It was clear that her approach to photography was a match for us. She cares about capturing the natural and sentimental moments of love between the couple. When she arrived at our venue, things were a little hectic, but she jumped right in taking pictures of details like invitations, rings, etc while I was finishing my hair and makeup. Her smile and energy are infectious and it was clear we had made the right choice. Her assistant Bridgette was just as wonderful and incredibly sweet. They both made us feel so comfortable and it was clear that their main goal was to capture us authentically. Our photos are breathtaking. I honestly think she made our wedding even more gorgeous than we remember. AND she got her signature veil shot of us and I am obsessed!!! She's booked every weekend because she's amazing. I highly recommend her for your wedding!

Kelsey= i n c r e d i b l e

I met Kelsey at a bridal show and I knew from her vibe that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. She is so talented and extremely kind. Our engagement photos and the photos we have gotten so far from the wedding are amazing and better than we could have imagined. She did a great job of keeping everyone on schedule and was just all around awesome.

~Photos with Feeling~

I have admired and studied my wedding photographs every day since I got them a week ago. Kelsey is an amazing artist and the photos are more than just beautiful wedding pictures, they are unique, creative, and truly fine art! She is also so sweet and easy to work with! I would not say that my husband and I are naturals in front of the camera; actually nothing is more stressful to me than being the center of attention. But the process was completely painless, and actually fun! I obsessed over choosing my photographer, and I think that choosing her was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. The most common wedding advice I got from people was to invest in a photographer you really love, and I am glad I followed that advice. A wedding is such a momentous day that so much time, money, and effort goes into, and at the end of it all, you are left with the photographs to cherish for the rest of your life and to pass on to your kids. The photos are exactly what I wanted and there are SO MANY that I absolutely love; choosing which ones to frame is almost impossible. I obviously cannot say enough good things about her! Thank you SO much Kelsey!

The best photographer

Kelsey is the sweetest person ever. She takes her times with your photos and really listens to exactly how you feel or what you are really wanting. She photographed my wedding and made Bert and I feel so comfortable. We are always so happy when she is there because she does make you calm! Also her pictures are the absolute BEST!!!!!!

Kelsey Prater Review

Kelsey was AMAZING!! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only an incredible photographer, but also a fantastic woman. For example, my husband and I had to cancel our engagement photos day-of for a family emergency. Kelsey took it all in stride (while being extremely kind and validating), and offered to come to NYC (where we live) to shoot our engagement photos. So, we ended up having the the photo shoot of our dreams in Central Park. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, while also being kind and funny to help my husband and I settle our nerves when needed.
Lastly, her photography is profoundly beautiful. Of the 100s of photos that we have between the engagement/wedding, there is not a single one that is not breathtaking. I have no hesitation in recommending Kelsey as a wedding photographer, as she is truly skilled, professional, and genuine.

No-Brainer Choice For Your Wedding

Kelsey is a wonderful human being and an amazing photographer. We were nervous about being in front of the camera, but she honestly just felt like a friend we were hanging out with so it took all the pressure off! She captured us and our day so well, and she was easily one of the most helpful people (to me personally, at least) on our wedding day. She put my flower crown on, she told me what pictures were next and organized everyone for the shots, got our photos to us quickly, she was down for an impromptu dip in the lake in my wedding dress when things ended a little earlier than expected, and she captured all the magic! I can't wait to work with her again!

I loved working with Kelsey! She is professional yet easy to work with. She took careful note of things I wanted and ideas I liked for photos. She also had great ideas for shots that I would have never thought of. We are thinking of ways to use her in the future - first year anniversary, etc.
