Loved our experience with RubySky Photography!

We loved working with RubySky Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. Keesha was creative in our locations and poses. Our engagement photos were taken in the fall and we LOVE them. Then, our wedding was the following winter, and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I can't recommend RubySky Photography enough!

RubySky - the Queen of Urban & Rural Settings

We've been working with RubySky to make our engagement and wedding photography dreams come true for almost two years, and we couldn't be more grateful that we chose Keesha as our photographer.

Firstly, Keesha's personality is great for us. She is so warm and gentle to be around that we were comfortable posing for her immediately. While Keesha is not bossy or extremely vocal, she shared creative photo ideas that helped us make the most of our selected engagement & wedding photo venues.

On venues, Keesha came to DC proper so that our engagement photos could be in an urban setting to counter our more rural wedding venue. She nails both (we chose her first for her appreciation and photography of the natural world)! She came up with creative shots that took advantage of the setting and "props" available to us to make unique but timeless photos for us. On my wedding day, she entertained my silly desire to complete an entire photo shoot in the beautiful clawfoot tub in the bridal sweet-- she goes with the flow, even with vocal family members and bridal party buzzing about her.

Keesha was flexible in scheduling, allowing us to add extra hours less than a month out as we built out our wedding day timeline and realized we'd like her to capture the day from beginning to end (she also has stamina). On our wedding day, Keesha brought about her assistant Bessie, who was so much fun and made us feel so comfortable as well. Both were lovely additions to the day; it wouldn't have been the same without them, and -- the gorgeous, bold, and creative photos are a big plus! We absolutely recommend RubySky to Virginia couples!

Everything We Hoped For More!

Keesha is simply the best. She is so easy going, sweet-sweet (so sweet you have to say it twice), organized & professional, but above all- her artistic eye is simply unmatched. We cherish the end product of both our engagement session and our big day. Even her tangible end-product is the best without skimping at all on details.

Great experience

Keesha was great to work with from start to finish. She put us at ease so we felt comfortable the entire day. We loved our pictures, and they arrived in 6 weeks as promised. We highly recommend RubySky Photography!

Best Decision!!

Choosing RubySkyPhotography was one of the best decisions throughout our wedding planning process. Keesha was referred to us by a good friend of ours who also used her as a wedding photographer. We had both our engagement and wedding photos taken by Keesha, which was great because we got to spend some time with her before our big day. She is the sweetest lady, super flexible and very patient. She made sure to keep things light hearted and comfortable during our photo sessions, and directed us as needed. She is an extremely talented artist and has a great eye for capturing nature, landscapes, vivid colors, dramatic skies, and more. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful despite the overcast skies and rain from Hurricane Florence. Thank you Keesha for our stunning wedding album. You exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to work with you again someday.

There for us, rain or shine!!

Keesha was absolutely amazing! We found her through recommendations online and after speaking with her on the phone we immediately knew we wanted to hire her. We booked her for our wedding and for our engagement photos. To say these 2 events had a few issues with the weather is an understatement. We came down to Harrisonburg for our engagement photos was the one weekend in April since 1990 that Harrisonburg had snow. Forecasts were calling for multiple inches but we decided, hell or high water we were gonna get these photos done. Keesha reached out to us and let us know that if we were down to brave the water than she was. She met us at our preplanned location and took the most amazing photos. One of which became our Christmas card this year.

Our wedding day also happened to fall on the Friday that hurricane Florence was meant to reach Harrisonburg. Again Keesha was there to support us through thick or thin. If her positivity alone wasn’t enough of a reason to hire her the photos she took were absolutely breathtaking. She took special care to capture all of the photos we wanted while also bringing her own ideas and style into them. She captured the beauty of the area that for our photos in ways that still amazes us now.

We highly recommend!!

Absolutely the best choice for wedding photography!

I have been admiring Rubysky since I was in high school and first fell in love with Keesha's style of photography. We contacted her after getting engaged, set up a meeting at a local coffee shop, and were immediately hooked! I think Rubysky was the very first vendor that we secured. Keesha is professional, flexible, and personable. Our engagement shoot took place at our dream location, Skyline Drive, and the photos were better than we could have imagined! She gave us great direction during the shoot, which we were grateful for. Any awkwardness quickly subsided, and we had a great time. As the wedding approached Keesha was in touch with us and made sure to secure any details ahead of time. Keesha and her second shooter arrived perfectly on time at our wedding venue and were quick to direct the photos along the predetermined timeline, which we greatly appreciated. Every moment was perfectly captured, and I was never stressed about the photographers missing a shot. Keesha and the second shooter were quiet and discrete during the ceremony which I valued greatly as I've attended weddings with extremely distracting photographers in the past. We ended up with hundreds of stunning photos and have received countless compliments on the style of the images themselves. In short, Rubysky Photography is super organized, reliable, talented, and relieved us of any picture-related stress! We could not have made a better choice.

When I was looking for a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted someone that would produce artistic and unique images for us. All too often a couple's wedding photos can end up looking the same as every other wedding with the bright white and pastels color scheme and the same poses and the same scenery. When I told Keesha at RubySky my thoughts on this, we were on the same page instantly about the vision of the wedding. On the big day, she and her 2nd photographer Stephanie were absolutely amazing to work with and the pictures turned out wonderfully! Better than I could have asked for! We had a meeting or two by phone and several email exchanges back and forth pre-wedding date where she was responsive and professional as she organized with us the photo schedule for the big day. She was calm, knowledgeable, and worked with us even through some last minute weather related schedule changes to give us all the pictures we wanted and more. Her artistic eye was brilliant as she noticed cool backgrounds and interesting scenery we wouldn't have thought of for our pictures. If you want bold, colorful, and wonderfully artistic wedding photos, choose RubySky!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Working with Ruby Sky Photography was such a great experience for me! Meeting Keesha, she is just such a sweet person, and you can tell by the way she spoke about the photos, she loved what she does. She is such a professional, punctual, and she knows her way around a camera the way Picasso knows his way around a canvas. It shows. Her work is absolutely outstanding. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
