    The Best!!

    Elly is the most talented photographer I’ve ever seen! I’ve never felt more photogenic. The photos were not only PHENOMENAL, she also got them back to us incredibly quickly. I feel like I’m reliving our wedding day every time I look at the pictures. You could not ask for a better person to work with and her work is incomparable!

    Perfect..seriously!

    Elly Kinne of Bluesky Photography is a genius! I NEVER take good pictures. But now I have an album and a framed photo of the most beautiful pictures that I am so proud of. After the photos were released, several friends at my intimate wedding sought her contact info, but unfortunately, she only does wedding photography. I’ve stated over and over on advice blogs that the best wedding investment is the best photographer one can find. For anyone in Charlotte, NC, that person is definitely Elly Kinne.

    Couldn’t have been more perfect!!

    Our wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful thanks to Elly and the BlueSky team. When I first talked with Elly over the phone, I knew I wanted her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly sweet, personable, and of course is an amazing photographer. What more could you ask for?! She captured our wedding exactly how my husband and I had envisioned it. I 100% recommend Elly and her team. We loved her work so much that we even had her photograph newborn photos of our daughter. The details in the photos are absolute perfection. Thank you again Elly for making our wedding day unforgettable.

    Outstanding

    Elly was amazing to work with for our daughter’s wedding. She met us at the venue before the big day so that she could pick out the best spots for pictures.
    The pictures turned out beautifully. My daughter was so pleased she had her do photos of their newborn.
    I would highly recommend Blue Sky Photography.

    Amazing photographer

    Elly was great to work with from start to finish. She captured all of the moments we could have asked for and more, all the way from the engagement session through the end of the wedding. She's an excellent photographer and lovely person, and I would highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

    Spectacular

    Elly was so wonderful to work with. She remained professional but also felt like another guest having a blast at our wedding with us. I couldn’t recommend Elly enough as a person let alone as a photographer- the quality&quantity of photos we received AND the gorgeous wedding album make my husband and I feel like our night was captured perfectly. Thank you again Elly!

    Dream Come True Wedding Photographer

    As being one of Elly’s brides And her bestie, like some of you I too had my own set of concerns:
    Will I be as beautiful as all her other brides. Will my groom and I seem as much in love as all her couples portraits I had wanted to be a part of for so long. Will we have a stunning sky and beautiful landscapes. Will our friends and family be captured as being moved, supportive, happy and fun, (or will I make the whole day stressful for all of us). Will I even be able to afford the kind of wedding I want.

    Elly’s work has always seemed like a fairytale to me. And just like fairy tales stories, I’ve always wished I could have that, but never believed I actually could....

    We were captured in all those ways and more!! Thanks to Creator for all the perfect weather, skies and creation and Elly’s Photography for capturing hundreds of images that reflect love, support, intimacy, gratitude and magnificent!
    So many tender moments with family and friends to reconnect to anytime!

    Elly assembled a perfect team for us to have many hands on deck capturing it all! I never had to think about a thing!
    We had a blissful day of laughter and being moved to tears!
    It was perfect!!
    Worth every Penny and THEN SOME!!

    We always say, spend the most on what you value the most, and cut corners Everywhere else! That’s exactly what we did, and the things that were free to us were some of the most heartwarming cherished gifts of love.
    Like my bouquet; hand picked and assembled by my best friends.
    And our potluck reception where we enjoyed home cooked recipes our friends and family prepared and passed down to our new family’s recipe box!
    Toasts and people honoring us with their presence and love!
    There were countless choices we made that created a couture and truly unique wedding weekend for us! Elly was a huge inspiration about that and was with me the whole way in designing what worked best for us!

    Beyond expectations

    Working with Elly from Weddings by Blue Sky was way beyond my expectations. I knew the photos would be beautiful, but I didn't know the experience would be so amazing along the way. Elly really took the time to get to know my husband and I, what we were like as a couple and what we valued and I feel she was able to capture that in our photos.
    I have about 100 "favorites" from our wedding day that include posed photos, portraits, candids, dancing photos, solo shots and the list goes on. We get to relive the joy every time we go through them.
    We didn't ever feel rushed or pressured to get specific shots and she made the process feel fun and relaxed and somehow we still ended up with every shot we wanted and beyond. I promise you won't regret investing in these photos!

    Best Investment

    We haven't even gotten all of our pictures back yet from Elly and I just cannot rave about her enough. It's only been two weeks since we got married and all I can do is stare at the sneak peaks we have so far. Elly is a freaking goddess! She is so, so talented and I want her to photograph every minute of my life. She will do whatever it takes to get an amazing shot. She knew how to get us to relax and have fun while taking pictures. Considering my husband and I have like 3 pictures together over 5 years (prior to the wedding), this was no easy feat!

    Everyone told me that the thing you should invest the most in for you wedding is the photography. We took that to heart and have no regrets about it. You get what you pay for in the photography industry and Elly is 100% worth it. If you're on the fence about hiring her - don't be, just do it because I can promise that you will be satisfied.

    I loved working with BlueSky

    Cass and her team are one of the best photographers in Charlotte. I was lucky enough to get to know Cass when I was planning weddings between 2010-2012 and I know from working with her then that she made her couples always feel comfortable and beautiful and was a true pleasure to work with! When I got engaged in 2017 and showed my fiance a few different photographers I liked he was hands down in love with her art work! We met with her and her team and knew right away that we wanted her to be apart of our wedding. We are so happy that we went with her. I love all my photos and my book is amazing!!! She is a little bit more expensive then some other photographers out there, so find out first if she can fit into your budget, but if she can, you couldn't ask for a better photographer. She makes you feel comfortable and you will enjoy every minute of your experience with her!

    Weddings by BlueSky's reply:

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful and meaningful review Melissa! We LOVEd getting to know you and Chris. Celebrating you as a strong woman with your boudoir photographs and then celebrating the two of you as a couple at the wedding has been amazing--we cannot wait to see what we celebrate next! ;-) Cheers to much love and epic adventures,
    Cass Bradey

    She’s BEYOND what you could hope or wish for in a photographer- Surpasses what I even knew existed! I feel like I started a journey with Elly at the beginning, as a stranger, and somewhere halfway through, I realized it was like she was always family, while still remaining a consummate professional. How does someone you just met capture moments of such intimacy, joy, and celebration, without you knowing her your whole life? Every image that I look back on I think, “ how did she do that...how did she capture that moment...how did she make time stand still in so many moments that I just want to sink into?” In preparation for the day, especially weeks leading up, and ALL throught my wedding day, She read my mind before I could ask, she worried for me so I never had to, and she made my fear of feeling like too much of a “mature bride,” fade away in the art of her lens & the beautiful story she told with her art. I will go so far as to say it felt like she created a fairytale memory that I couldn’t have dreamt up more beautifully...and I never even dreamt of my wedding day growing up!! I could go on and on ...so much that I panicked realizing today I waited too long to write this review. I feared I wouldnt do it the Justice Elly deserves. tonight it hit me-I can’t wait ONE MORE DAY to write this review- what if a bride is struggling to decide and these words might help!?” So I hope maybe a bride, family member, friend, or loved one reads this and hears or sees what they need to in order to makethe best choice they could make in their wedding planning! The most assured decision (besides my husband :) before during& after process, was choosing Elly. She’s exceptionally magical. She will capture your day and the memories of your special event through a lens and with a humbling artistic hand. Every image i receivd felt like opening a precious gift. I will Forever be thankful to Elly for capturing memories that transport us to that day and ones we will treasure always.

    My pictures, my album, MY GOODNESS!

    I honestly cannot say enough incredible things about Elly! She is the whole package and an absolute dream to work with! Elly is the woman you want with you on your wedding day capturing the most intimate, romantic moments. She is kind, gentle, warm, and brings out the best in you. But, Elly also knows how to capture a party! While most photographers take a break when the party starts, Elly dives in deeper. My wedding day was a looooong day, and I never saw Elly take a break....which is why my album is the most GORGEOUS album I've ever seen!!! HOLY WOW! I was floored when I received it. It captures every special moment from my wedding. It is stunning and I am beyond happy that I have it for a lifetime. I could not be happier that I chose Elly to photograph the most important day of my life. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding!

    My friend in the wedding industry recommended Cass and the connection was instant. After meeting with other photographers I could tell how important it was to her to truly get to know me and my fiance. On the day of the wedding it felt as if a close friend had arrived when she showed up. During our engagement pictures she made us laugh and feel comfortable in what is generally an awkward situation. My husband even said he actually enjoyed the session when he had been absolutely dreading it before (note they were published in Carolina Bride Magazine). On the day of the wedding she was the epitome of professionalism and handled the difficult situation of organizing our plethora of family for organized portraits so efficiently, but with her sense of humor that made sure she did not come across as bossy or impatient. My parents and bridal party absolutely raved about her team's demeanor the day of - energetic and truly happy to be there. I will say that I was a little hesitant on price, but after getting back the pictures I feel they were worth every penny. So many brides these days are focused on photographers who take pictures of pretty table settings or bouquets. Don't get me wrong, I have those pictures, but those are not the ones that made me cry all over again. She captures truly beautiful candids that sometimes feel like art. I was also having some regrets about not hiring videographer on the day of the wedding, but Cass put together a sweet slideshow with music that so perfectly captured the day that it feels like you are reliving it all over again. She is so talented and I was so pleased that I will continue to recommend her to all newly engaged friends.

    Elly is absolutely fantastic. Not only is she a great photographer, but she is a great and friendly person to be around. My husband and I are not picture people, but our photos were amazing. Elly did our engagement and our wedding photos. She is very prompt to respond to emails and phone calls and always has time for a question. She was flexible in scheduling and was willing to travel anywhere to get the pictures we wanted. She is open to ideas and has plenty of her own and she will do anything to get the perfect shot! She will always be our photographer for any future event. You can not ask for a better photographer in experience, professionalism, and personality.

    All I have to say is...WOW I'm in love with ALL of my wedding pictures. If you are ever in need of a fabulous photographer(which who doesn't need one of those in their life) Elly's Photography is who you need!!! She and her team were absolutely flawless and I couldn't be happier with all the work they put into making these photos absolute perfection. We contacted her almost two and half months before the big day to book her, She was very flexible in meeting us to get our vision, and the time of preparation she put into making my timeline perfect so that I could just relax was so helpful. The day of the wedding I had no worries of making sure all my small intimate moments would be documented for me to enjoy forever.

    My wedding day was the happiest day of my life, and Elly has given us the opportunity to re-live that day over and over again. She captured every tear, laugh, hug, kiss and every single emotion of that day! Her pictures are just absolutely amazing. Not only is her work incredible, but she was such a joy to work with. You can tell that she loves what she does, and she is darn good at her job. I would/will recommend her to anyone looking for someone to eternalize their special moments.

    I was the mother of the bride and I was so very pleased with Cass' work. She was polite on wedding day, but efficient. She was well dressed and blended well with our guests as well as her assistant. The proof was in the pudding though when my daughter received her pictures back from Blue Sky. They were so beautiful and tastefully done. We had a hard time trying to decide what to print for our wall. I highly recommend this professional photographer.

    BlueSky Studios are the bright and shiny gem in Charlotte's premier photography crown. My husband and I were lucky to have BlueSky Studios photograph our wedding. Let me just say organizing a wedding is a very demanding business, but here's something every bride and groom should consider: at the end of the day, and several years ahead, all you really have are your memories of your event and your photographs. Wouldn't you want them to be beautiful and emotion drenched? To capture all of those moments you may have been too exhausted to notice? BlueSky does this. My husband and I are able to relive all the important parts of our wedding day every time we view our photos. Their candid images are jaw-dropping; they truly have an eye for the beauty of your day and they will capture each and every moment with poise and grace. One thing to say about brilliant photographers is that they are rarely ever seen; they blend in and steal away moments for you to enjoy for the rest of your life. When they are seen they make you feel comfortable and easy. BlueSky does this in such an artful way. They are incredibly passionate about their craft, and you can see it in every image. They are also wonderful people to work with. They really care about their clientele and strive to not only capture gorgeous images, but also to work with you one on one to create a package that works for your budget and for your vision. My husband and I will treasure our images for the rest of our lives; we feel so grateful to have been able to have them photograph our wedding. They come highly recommended.
