About

Hi! I'm Lorin of Lorin Kelly Photography.

Thank you for visiting my page and taking the time to read a little about me, my family and my passion! I am a lifestyle & wedding photographer in South Orange County. My husband and I were born and raised here in Southern California and are now living in San Juan Capistrano. We got married in 2015 on our 10 year anniversary, after meeting back in 2006! We are a casual beachy family and most days I can be found with a pony tail, jeans and a Target tshirt ( you know the ones that say "I need more coffee!").​

For me, becoming a photographer was something I unknowingly trained my whole life for having always worked in the hotel/service industry. Going above and beyond for people is what I took away from those jobs and is how I want my couples and families to feel after their wedding day or session. My relationships with my couples are very important to me, so much so that I usually stay in contact and become friends with my brides even after the gallery has been sent. I try to always stay in contact throughout the whole planning process and encourage my couples to let me know if they need advice, help or have any questions.​As a wedding photographer I would hope to stand out, not only with my style and personality, but with my organization and attention to every detail you want captured. I do this with my own detailed timelines, final calls, back up plans and venue visits to make sure I am fully prepared.​

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or for more information. Hope to meet and chat soon!​

Kindest Regards,

Lorin

Lorin Kelly Photography is THE BEST

Lorin is a true professional. I am a wedding photographer and wanted someone to photograph my daughter’s wedding who had it all: knowledge, skills, equipment, intuition, and empathy. Lorin brings everything to the table, and the results are breathtaking. Most importantly, my daughter and her husband were very comfortable with Lorin’s gentle guidance that put them at their best. Lorin professionally edits all photos, and everything looks very soft and natural. Highly recommend Lorin Kelly Photography

Lorin is so incredible to work with!

Since I first saw Lorin's portfolio, I was immediately in love with her style. We did our engagement shoot with her, and she helped ease our nerves and really captured our love and was so fun to work with. Come our wedding, she absolutely nailed our photos and captured the day so perfectly. She is creative, attentive, and just so fun to work with and would recommend her to anyone for their wedding. Thank you again Lorin!

Amazing photographer & experience

Lorin was incredibly professional, sweet and easy to work with!! A few months back I booked Lorin for a boudoir shoot for my husband-to-be and was so happy I picked Lorin for the shoot. She has such an easy-going personality, making me feel very comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I absolutely loved shooting with her and I adored the photos I got in return!! You will NOT be disappointed!! She’s so talented!! 🤍🥰

Best Photographer!

Hiring Lorin and her team was one of the best decisions my husband and I could have made. My husband was very picky when selecting a photographer and after we got off the phone with her, we looked at each other and knew we needed to book her!Our friends and family can't stop raving about her and her second shooter, they were amazing! She made our wedding day seamless and the pictures after are something we will treasure forever. Thank you Lorin!!

BEST Wedding Photographer Ever!

Lorin is the best of the best! We hired her instantly upon chatting with and she was so sweet, you could tell she loves her job. She always checked in and even helped a little with some decor ideas I couldn't decide on. The day of the wedding she was so calm, even though we were behind, she assured me we were good and didn't rush us. We got all the photos on our list plus some! She did not disappoint! We got the sneak peeks the next day and were blown away! We got the gallery fast as she finished earlier than estimated!! And it was even better than we could've hoped for. We can't thank her enough and can't wait for future photos

Lorin Is The BEST!!

In the months before our wedding, my wife and i met with half a dozen photographers. As an event industry professional myself, I have worked with many different vendors in my life, and I knew we had to find just the right person.

Although we spoke with Lorin twice, we knew within 5 minutes that we wanted to hire her to photograph our wedding. More than anybody I've met, Lorin really took the time to understand the story of our relationship, and specifically what feelings we wanted our guests to connect with throughout the wedding.

Lorin was patient, kind, and incredibly understanding every time we spoke with her, and when the big day finally came - she just knocked it out of the park. She was even able to wrangle our absurdly large 18-person bridal party, as if it was nothing!

Lorin even offered to throw in a photo album for free when our wedding photos arrived a little bit late. It was an incredibly kind gesture that meant so so so much to us.

I cannot recommend Lorin enough for your wedding, if you're looking for somebody to deliver A++ results. Thank you Lorin!!

Above and Beyond Service

I loved Lorin’s photos from the moment I landed on her website. So dreamy and ethereal, just what I wanted for my wedding photos. I talked to other photographers before I came across Lorin and when I spoke with her on the phone, I found it extremely reassuring that I didn’t have to ask too many questions because she simply gave me all the information I needed to know. The price was more than right and she graciously included an engagement session which I had not even thought about doing. She recommended different places for it based on our preference. We finally decided for a sunrise session at the Griffith Observatory, which means she was there at 5am! My husband was impressed when she pulled out an app to see the sun trajectory (it was overcast) for the best light. It’s the little things right?
Plus she is so friendly and easy to talk to. And very patient: My husband was being very picky about how he wanted the photos to be taken and she was always accommodating but also tried to push him/us to take photos she knew we would love (thank you!).
Finally on the day-of, Lorin and her second shooter showed up early to the venue to get the lay of the land. They also helped us with our cameras: We had a couple of GoPros so having worked with videographers before, Lorin suggested where to put them, and also expertly moved them so they wouldn't be in her shots, but would still record the ceremony from a good angle. I thought that was very nice of her because it wasn’t really her job to worry about the cameras.
She sent a few sneaks just a couple of days after the wedding (lovely!) and the full gallery within the timeframe given at the beginning. Will definitely hire again!

One of the best investments for my wedding!

I found out about Lorin through Instagram (since she's been featured on many wedding publications). She was easygoing, fun, and a good listener right off the bat – ended up working with her and a videographer that she recommended for my wedding. Their chemistry and teamwork were incredible, we absolutely LOVED both the process and results! Lorin is so good at making you feel at ease, not just because of her personality but also because of her skills and eye for aesthetics. I trusted her judgement and was extremely pleased with the end results.

On top of my wedding day, we also worked with her on an engagement shoot at Joshua Tree; she was adventurous, agreeable, and omg dedicated – she had hurt her arm before that but she still tried to climb some huge rocks just to get the shots that she wanted for us, it was a heartwarming experience as we looked out for each other.

Review for our amazing wedding photographer!

The pictures that Lorin took for our wedding were absolutely PERFECT!!! Every photo was absolutely beautiful and dreamy and exactly how we had pictured them. Lorin was SO professional and also so funny, everyone in our wedding party loved her! We still get compliments from people about how beautiful the photos were. I can’t recommend Lorin enough! She is so thoughtful about the whole process and really gets to know her clients and which photos will be the most special to them. Your wedding photos are some of the most important pictures you’ll ever have, and Lorin did such an amazing job making sure that they were all perfect!
