    He knows his angles! Amazing experience.

    My fiancé and I worked with Adam for a front porch photo session to get to know him and his style as we vet out wedding photographers. Adam was super communicative right after I reached out through the end when he sent us our photos (within 48 hrs might I add). He was highly professional yet made us feel so relaxed and at ease. He captured all of our good angles and we ended up purchasing the whole set of photos. I would highly recommend working with Adam to any of my friends or family. Unfortunately he's already booked for our date so I recommend reaching out ASAP to reserve your spot! He's a real gem and will make your special day truly shine!

    Best of the Best!

    Adam is amazing! We had hired a different photographer for our engagement photos and ended up not being very happy with the amount and quality of the photos we received, so when it came time to find a new photographer for our wedding we wanted to make sure we found the right one. Adam was the perfect match! He listened to our concerns and did everything he could to make sure we were taken care of. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how amazing our photographer was! I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Unique and High Quality!

    Adam has an amazing gift at capturing the essence of your special night. I was blown away at the uniqueness of every photo. He will surprise you with his ability to capture beauty in seemingly ordinary moments. Not only is he extremely talented but he was also a joy to work with. He is extremely kind and patient and his spirit really shines through his work. If you are looking for someone who can capture quality candid photos Adam will 100% deliver. My husband and I could not be more pleased with his work!

    Adam is incredible!

    Adam is absolutely incredible!! Photography was definitely the most important element of my wedding, and Adam was so far above and beyond. From the first moment we met him on Zoom he was incredibly kind and personable, and we felt like we were instantly friends. He was caring, kind, and responsive leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day the entire experience was nothing short of incredible. Adam and his incredible photographer were people I literally wanted to hang out with for the whole day. It’s obvious that Adam is incredible technically skilled, but it also must be stated how comfortable and FUN he makes you feel - there is no way we would have gotten the pictures we did without his amazing personality. When I saw his slideshow I cried so hard. His documentation of the day was really the greatest gift we could have gotten. We had some family that couldn’t make it and they all told us how the pictures made them feel like they were there, watching a documentary film. We will cherish these forever and it’s truly the best investment we could have ever made. Thank you so much Adam for being the best part of the wedding!

    Incredible eye, and very kind!

    Adam went above and beyond with our wedding and engagement shoot. He is incredibly kind, personable, and patient.
    We hired Adam for our "engagement" photos. It was a series of black and whites where he followed us around for one day. I was uneasy with someone being that up close and personal for 12 hours, but this is where his professionalism comes in. Within 30 minutes of him arriving, Michael and I were relaxed and carrying on with our normal day.
    For the wedding, Adam and his second shooter, Sarah, were again incredible. I was a little nervous before the ceremony, but Sarah has an exceptionally calming nature and helped put my jitters at ease.
    Finally, we have not received all of our photos back, but the ones we have seen are breathtaking. Even if we only got the 3 photos I have seen, it would be worth his price.
    I really recommend hiring Adam, he knows what he's doing and works hard to get to know you as a couple so he can capture the moments that matter to YOU, and not some trendy style of shot.
    Adam, thank you a million times over!

    Authentic, Fun, Professional, and just simply the BEST!!!

    I love Adam. Not only is he one of the best photographers I've ever met, he's become a real friend in the planning process for the wedding and afterwards. In addition to shooting our wedding, he did an engagement shoot with my fiancé at the time--while I was pregnant--and a shoot of myself and son afterwards. His love of life and enthusiasm for capturing the best moments make him exceptional, and the real heart of the experience is captured in everything he does. He makes the photo shoot experience--whether it's more formal like engagement shots, or the wedding day/night perfect. In more formal settings, like engagement photos, he manages to make everyone relax and laugh. His real element of expertise is in finding the authenticity of the moment, and if you want a photographer who will represent the heart of your wedding experience in its best moments, I can't articulate how perfect Adam is in finding those moments. All of my favorite photos are of those real life moments that I was too overwhelmed to see while experiencing the whole day. When I look back at all of the wedding photos I have from him, it's very overwhelming emotionally, because he captured the evening PERFECTLY. As I've said, he's still a great friend and someone I know I can rely on if there's something important happening. 💕 He will do his best to capture your story, and it absolutely will be the best! 💕

    I cannot praise this TRUE Artist enough!!

    Adam is extremely personable and one of the most genuine, professional, and incredibly talented artists I've ever come across. His demeanor is such that you feel so comfortable in front of the lens. I cannot believe how brilliant our pictures came out. if there is any question in your mind about a photographer, Adam is your guy. You will not be disappointed, his work is impeccable and he captures the moments that take you back. I couldn't have asked for better photos, and my husband and I (even my mom) love Adam and his work. Do yourselves a favor and take the worry out of the photos, choose Adam Kealing International Photography.

    Can't be Beat!

    My wonderful Adam!!!!

    Short review: BOOK HIM!

    Longer review: When I was planning our wedding, my now husband and I were very hesitant to book Adam at first because we had received so many quotes from photographers who were less expensive.

    What my husband and I both loved about Adam's work though, is that he has such a unique aspect to his photography that is truly his own style.

    And I have to advise: do not skimp on photography! Adam will exceed your expectations in every way. Not only will the photographs be incredible (due to his genius artistic vision), but he will be responsive, attentive, and a joy to work with throughout the entire process!

    Adam also did my boudoir photography and made me feel so comfortable and confident!

    I was so happy with the results of all of our photographs and can't wait to work with him again in the future!

    Amazing!!!!

    We cannot rave enough about Adam. From his professionalism, making us feel relaxed, his attention detail, and most of all his work! Adam was truly a pleasure to work with. He captured all the feels on our wedding day. Adam captured all the love and laughter from my husband and I, to each of our guests. As a bride (who was planning a wedding from across the country), I can honestly say Adam made the photography part a piece of cake. He offered suggestions, other vendors and even worked his schedule around ours for an engagement session. Adam made us feel like we had known him forever. Adam has such an eye for lighting and for that “perfect” shot. Adam is absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend him for your wedding photography.

    Adam is the best!!

    Simply thinking of our photos will forever bring tears to my eyes. Adam captured everything perfectly from the the most important and intimate moments of our day to all the little details meant to make people feel loved. We wanted something more unique than the posed photos hanging on our wall and Adam delivered. His knowledge and professionalism helped ensure we "followed the light" to get the best shots. He took the time to walk every inch of our venue to find creative places and angles to pinpoint perfection. To say we are grateful is only the start...we are truly honored that we can forever show off Adam's skills and photos. He snapped breathtaking photos of all the people we love in moments that showed real emotion. So much happens on your wedding day and Adam's photos gave us the gift of not only having a memory of the moments but also the emotions. From the first look sobs, to our parents laughing, to the wine-infused dance moves...we will always have reminders of the love and happiness shared that day.

    Thank you, Adam. We will forever be grateful.

    Stunning, Creative, Thoughtful, FUN, and reasonable

    Adam Kealing is absolutely incredible! We feel so fortunate to have found him, and that he was available for our 2 day Indian wedding during Memorial Day Weekend. From the moment we met Adam, he was energetic, funny, and genuinely excited to photograph our special weekend. From our pre-wedding shoot and sangeet party, to our 12+ hour wedding day, he was right there with us with a huge smile on his face the whole time! Beyond that, he has a unique and creative eye which allows him to capture moments with stunning, interesting angles. There were times where he literally army-crawled on the ground or rolled up his pants and waded into a lake so he get the right angle for a shot. Our friends and family were amazed at his dedication on our wedding day, and the end result is an amazing album full of "Wow" shots!
    We are so thrilled to have met such a thoughtful, talented, and FUN photographer - Hire him now before he gets scooped up by another bride!

    My husband and I got married May 5th, and we are so thankful that we hired Adam to photograph our wedding. We love his eye and how passionate he is about his craft. I've never met a photographer or professional who is half as excited about every photo he takes. Adam is incredibly professional in everything he does. He even did a boudoir shoot for me that I gave to my husband as a wedding gift, and I never once felt uncomfortable, insecure, or nervous. Adam is very good at what he does and he is worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. I would hire him again ten times over. I cannot recommend him enough. I knew from the moment I saw his work he was our photographer. I'm so glad I went with my gut. You won't be disappointed with his work or keen eye for details.

    Adam Kealing is the real deal. He is kind, patient, extremely approachable, and he has such a unique eye for photography that really spoke to us! We love his photojournalistic style and our photos from our wedding turned out better than we could have ever dreamed. One thing I remember reading in a review before booking him is that his photos are more like art and that you could blow up any of his photos and hang them behind your couch. Boy howdy, are we having a difficult time choosing which ones to do that with! Photography was one of the biggest splurges we made in our wedding and this wonderful man is worth every penny. Not only is each and every photo from our day unique and mesmerizing but we received multiple comments from our guests that they loved our photographer, and that was before they even saw the photos! Everyone remarked on how friendly he was and how he magically blended into our crowd while managing to sneak in such amazing shots of us and our people! Adam did not pass one ounce of judgement when I whipped out my well organized pinterest boards or my excel spreadsheets, or when I got stressed about tense encounters at the wedding, or when I asked him to take photos of me with literally everyone as they left for the night. He went above and beyond to accommodate my ideas and wishes and fully embraced my vision for our wedding. If I had the means, I would hire him to capture every single significant moment in my life until the end of time. Seriously, just hire this man. You won't regret it. We love you Adam! <3

    Adam was so wonderful! He made us feel really comfortable and captured all the special moments of our wedding. I’m so happy that I didn’t have to pose for a million dippy photos. Adam has my highest recommendation.

    There are not enough good things I can say about Adam, in short he is amazing. It felt like we had a friend at our wedding acting as our photographer, not to mention the finished product was drop dead gorgeous. We loved him because his work is exciting, creative, and beautiful. I have recommended him to every single one of my friends who has gotten engaged, you can't go wrong working with Adam!

    I recently got married in Austin, Tx and had Adam Kealing as my photographer. He is absolutely amazing, and I could not have asked for a better person to capture all the special moments of my wedding. Seriously the pictures are incredible and he is so accommodating and easy to work with. My husband does not do pictures...or at least posed ones well. I let Adam know this ahead of time and he was really able to make my husband feel comfortable and we got so many great posed shots...I never thought in a million years I would have them! Also I love love love Adam's artistic eye, and really words can not describe how beautiful our pictures turned out. He also had a second photographer, Sarah, at our wedding who was wonderful. Between the both of them, every moment was captured. Adam's professionalism, incredible work and artistic eye really set him apart from all the other photographers I had considered booking. I highly recommend him for any event/ photo shoot. I promise you will not be disappointed!!

    I knew I had to have Adam Kealing as our wedding photographer once I saw his breathtaking photos, and I never regretted that decision. The thing that caught my attention was his dramatic, artistic style, which shows how much thought and creativity he puts into his work. However, the clincher for me was the fact that his photos aren't repetitive. For a lot of photographers, you can see how they take the same kind of pictures for every wedding, and besides his taste for panoramic vista shots (which are incredible), he seemed to treat each wedding/couple individually. I also liked how he has the versatility to capture both artistic shots, but also candid photos that capture the emotion of a moment, whether it's during the party moment of the reception, or a quiet moment between the bride and the groom.

    He initially sent us pricing information for local weddings instead of destination weddings, and honored the pricing even though it was a mistake. We didn't have to pay any extra travel fees, even though he and a second shooter flew out to the wedding and had to rent a car to get to the actual location. The experience of working with Adam was great. He got along with our entire guest list and really felt like a natural addition to our group. It still amazes me to think that we weren't friends with Adam before the wedding because at the wedding, he felt like someone that I knew for a long time. I didn't leave reviews for any other vendors that we worked with, but I felt compelled to write one because I think it's ridiculous that somebody left him a one-star rating over a very common wedding contract stipulation. Wedding Wire should have never published the review in the first place, especially since online reviews are so important to independently owed businesses. Adam Kealing is excellent, and I would recommend him to anybody.

    We found Adam through a mutual friend, and this turned out to be the most fortuitous decision in planning our wedding on Italy's Amalfi Coast. First, it cannot be undermined how comforting it is to have someone "from home" present on your wedding day, having confidence in the quality of photos and enjoyable company to compliment the day. Adam and his assistant were incredibly professional and kind, but most of all FUN! Adam's enthusiasm and eye for the most beautiful shots perfectly blended into our most incredible day. We barely noticed him capturing photos during the ceremony and reception. Further, they were incredibly generous with their time, showing up early for our rehearsal dinner, scouting locations to take the best photos around our venue, and staying late through the reception. The end result is a collection of photos that illustrates each important moment in the story of our wedding. He got the candid shots, the emotional shots, the beautiful portraits... all of them. Here's another magical thing about Adam's photography - even though we were there and lived through every magical moment, Adam captured the heart of feeling in every shot... scanning through the photos is like reliving the day, and each vivid emotion comes flooding back. We are so thrilled to cherish these photos, to share them with friends and family, and to wrestle with the challenge of deciding which ones to display in our home! Thank you so much Adam and Melissa, you're the best!!!

    Adam and I grew up together as snot-nosed kids in the mountains of Colorado. We had lost touch as we got older, as many adults do, but well before I was even engaged I stalked his beautiful work online.

    So once the big day came, no other photographer would do! Adam and I quickly rekindled our friendship and formed a great working relationship.

    He runs his business with efficiency, responsiveness, and, most of all, personality. I still look forward to his emails with countless exclamation points.

    Not many photographers work well in low-light settings, but Adam captured our evening winter wedding in a way that still brings tears to my eyes. He also was able to get great shots of our friends and family. The day was just as much about spending time with our guests as it was about us, and Adam understood that and captured the fun and emotion without question.

    Adam's photos show a wedding that is even more beautiful than I remember. Book him. Right now. You won't regret it.

    No one captures magical moments like Adam Kealing

    I used to look in awe and wonder at wedding pics and family photos from my friends in California. Some of them have the privilege of hiring the best of the best photographers to fly out and shoot some breathtaking photos to capture their incredible day. Well, after searching and searching, we found someone right here in Austin who has the talents to deliver the same jaw-dropping photos that you see mostly in magazines or wedding blogs. His name is Adam Kealing. He's an Austinite. He travels. And he is the real deal.

    A friend of ours posted their family photos online, and we had never seen anything quite like it. Their family photos were beautiful and distinctly remarkable. These are the types of photos that you'd want to blow up on a canvas, much like you would a special wedding photo, except they were from a family photo session. We followed up quickly to ask who their photographer was, and this is how we learned about Adam.

    Adam has an artistic eye for taking exceptional candid shots. He's constantly shooting, even during transitions, and he's able to capture magical moments when you're least expecting them. As Adam would say, the little moments *are* the moments. He also has a unique eye for capturing the beauty of natural sun light, which gives his photos a certain timeless, magical quality.

    We are so happy we went with Adam, and we absolutely love our beautiful set of photos! And we would be remiss not to mention that in addition to being a talented, highly skilled professional photographer, Adam is as comfortable, fun, and easy-going as they come. We enjoyed working with him as a person so much, and we can't wait for another opportunity to work with him!
