About this vendor

Hey there! I’m Kelsey, a wedding, engagement, and couples photographer based out of upstate New York. I believe color should be vivid, laughs should be loud, and that every love should be celebrated.

I also believe that just like every couple is beautiful and unique, so is every wedding. One thing I can promise you is that no matter the wedding, my approach stays the same. I’ll be there to guide you throughout the day, lead you and your partner into the best light, and show your mom where to stand as she zips up your dress or pins on your boutonniere.

But don’t worry, I also know when to stand back and let the magic unfold (like when you're crying happy tears during your first look). My goal is always to be as helpful yet unobtrusive as possible (is that an oxymoron?).

Basically, I’ll be there for you. Present and guiding you through the big moments, then melting into the crowd to capture you and your favorite people celebrating your one-of-a-kind love.

An Absolute No-Brainer

We knew who our wedding photographer would be even before I proposed.

Choosing a wedding photographer isn't just about the photos, but also how well they onboard you as a client, how well they interact with guests/other vendors/you as a couple, how well they problem solve/handle adversity, and many other factors that often aren't apparent until it's too late.

As someone who has worked with Kelsey both as a second shooter and as a groom; there is no dimension of wedding photography at which she doesn't excel. I once watched her construct a boutonniere from scraps when the florist delivered one too few for the groomsmen - her skill, expertise, and problem solving ability goes above and beyond any photographer I've ever worked with.

Working with Kelsey is the absolute closest you can get to hiring your best friend to shoot your wedding, but with all the upside of hiring a seasoned professional.

During one of the most hectic & stressful seasons of your life, give yourself some peace by bringing Kelsey into the mix - it's the absolute best wedding gift you can give yourselves.
We couldn't be happier with both the photos & our experience.

High Quality!

Kelsey was a dream to work with! From the very start, she was very professional, kind, and communicative. She was super organized and easy to work with, taking a lot off our plate during the planning process. She even helped us with posing, making sure we felt comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

She always stayed in excellent communication, and on the wedding day, she made sure our photos came out perfect. Our entire wedding party also raved about her—they loved working with her and noted how great she was! The resulting photos are beautiful.

We were especially grateful that she gave us access to our full collection of photos without watermarks; this made it very easy for us to keep all of the beautiful pictures from our day and just as easy to download and use on social media. We highly recommend Kelsey!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I was not picky about anything during the wedding planning process except when it came to choosing a photographer - and I am SO HAPPY with the decision to hire Kelsey! We met her at our engagement shoot back in June, and she could not have been more personable, professional, or easy to work with. Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding day of wrangling our family members for photos and keeping everything moving on time. She even saved the day by helping to figure out my dress bustle when everyone was struggling! Her second photographer, Brea, was absolutely incredible as well. She made our wedding portrait session so easy and enjoyable, and everything felt so natural. She also got all of the family photos we requested and was so patient with us. I know our photos are going to be absolutely gorgeous, and I can’t wait to get them back. Kelsey is the absolute best and you will not regret hiring her for your wedding.

UPDATE: we got our sneak peek photos back last night and they are GORGEOUS. We are in love with them, we could not be happier!

The BEST wedding photographer!!!

Kelsey Travis- you are AMAZING!!! I truly can't say enough good things about Kelsey! I met her alittle over 3 years ago when she did my cousin wedding. On that day she was so incredibly nice she made all of us feel so comfortable taking photos. Then once I saw how amazing her photos turned out I was blown away. A few years later we got engaged and was starting to look at vendors I didn't even have to think who I wanted because I knew Kelsey was the only answer. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos- it was so hard to even narrow down our favorites. We got compliments all night about how amazing she was. She was running all over the place to get the best possible pictures. Kelsey we love you and our forever thankful we have these pictures!!!!

Made our day magical

Choosing Kelsey Travis Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our entire planning process. From the very first conversation to the final moments of our big day, Kelsey and her assistant Ashley brought an energy, passion, and professionalism that was simply unmatched. Not only is Kelsey incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also has this beautiful gift of making people feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. She captured every emotion, every tear, every laugh, and every detail big and small with such artistry and intention. Her assistant Ashley also indulged our children crazy ideas. Our wedding was filled with sentimental moments, surprises, and meaningful family traditions, and somehow Kelsey and Ashley managed to be everywhere at once, documenting it all without ever being intrusive. It was like having a dear friends’s with a camera, who just gets it. Our guests even commented on how amazing and kind our photographers were, which speaks volumes. They “blended” in effortlessly, hyped us up when we needed it, and even helped wrangle family for portraits like an absolute pro. We are beyond grateful to Kelsey and Ashley for giving us timeless, emotional, and breathtaking memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. If you’re lucky enough to book her do it. You won’t regret it for a second.

Kelsey and her team were absolutely amazing and made our special day much better! You are getting so much more than just a photographer when you book with her. She offers to help with so much beyond just photos (which by the way are absolutely stunning). Our family and friends were so impressed by her professionalism and how beautiful the photos turned out. I am so grateful we booked with her!

Seamless experience, loved the photos!

Kelsey was a joy to work with and did a great job to direct us to get the best pictures but also got fantastic candid shots that captured the moments of our wedding. Her style of photography is more realistic and natural, which we really loved. Kelsey was extremely well organized: the software and system she used made it very easy to share and access the photos. Highly recommend Kelsey for engagement and wedding photography.

Highly Recommend!

From the very first meeting, Kelsey made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. She helped us with our engagement photos, creating the day of timeline, and helped the wedding day stay on time and be organized!

The attention to detail was incredible – from candid shots of our guests enjoying themselves to beautiful portraits that truly captured the essence of our love story. The final gallery exceeded our expectations; every photo was a work of art!

Kelsey managed to capture the joy and emotion of the day, not a single detail was missed and our gallery allows us to relieve the entire day!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, dedicated, and has a genuine passion for their craft, look no further! We can't thank Kelsey enough for the beautiful memories she’s given us. Highly recommend!
