I haven't seen the finished photos yet (its been 2 days), but I couldn't wait to write a review. Kelly was amazing! She shared preview photos the next morning and those are STUNNING! Kelly was so friendly and helpful too! She helped my mom finish buttoning my dress! Kelly asked about our relationship to get a feel for who we were and how she could best capture that in her photos. She gathered a photo list before the day so we wouldn't miss any photos. She was efficient-walked into my hotel room and got right to work! I highly recommend Kelly for your special day! -

Kelly is the BEST! Kelly was able to produce the most spectacular images for our wedding and engagement session and we had a blast working with her. She is friendly and approachable, she will handle your family and guests with kindness while still getting the best shots, and she was communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. She also did sweet things like send a little gift while we were getting ready for the big day and had a few extra chats with me during the planning process when I was feeling anxious. Kelly is a doll and a fabulous photographer, you will not regret booking her!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Sabrina! Thank you from the bottom of my heart :) I am thrilled you had a great experience working with me and are happy with my process and your final images! It was fantastic getting to know you both and I was honored to capture your moments at your session and wedding! Thank you! -

Kelly went above and beyond for our nontraditional ceremony. We had a ski wedding on top of a mountain, which required some unsteady terrain, lots of rock hopping and a very open-ended run-of-show itinerary, due to us being at the mercy of the weather. Kelly easily navigated the landscape and captured the dramatic backdrop of the mountains perfectly. She also sent it down a black diamond to get shots of our first ski run as a couple. As someone who always wanted a low-key wedding and almost didn't hire a photographer, I am so glad we were able to book Kelly. She was super flexible and knew how to manage our day even though we didn't have a set schedule. She even stayed an extra hour to help get some key shots before our family dinner. We highly recommend!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Neko - thank you!! Thank you for inviting me to a heart-felt intimate ceremony that was a sweet reflection of you both, thank you for opening up to me and allowing me to be one of your family and friends, and thank you for trusting me to capture your day in a way that really tells your story! And thank you for getting me out on the slopes!! -

Above and beyond!
Kelly was absolutely amazing as a wedding photographer. My husband and I had never used a professional photographer of any sort, so we were a little nervous going in. But Kelly made us feel so comfortable, not only with her but with the camera. She really captured the love we have for each other and how happy we are to be officially starting this new chapter of our lives. The photos are gorgeous!!
Also, I want to note that Kelly really goes above and beyond for her clients. She took a very small job, our 8 person quarantine ceremony, and stayed extra long to make sure we got great shots of everyone. She was completely prepared, having sent me a shot list and questionnaire beforehand. We also received the digital photos so quickly and a couple weeks after a beautifully wrapped memory stick with all the pictures. Overall, our experience with Kelly was great and we can't wait to use her for our big shindig next year!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Thank you SO much for the kind words! I really try to give my all for my couples and I'm beyond glad you could feel the love and that I helped you feel comfortable :) It was so great getting to know you both and incredible to share in your day, thank you! -

there are not enough words to describe how amazing Kelly is! Her attentiveness, her quick responses, her character, her smile her presence! Her work is amazing and she and her husband captured our wedding PERFECTLY! We are so in LOVE with our photos, and so is everyone who sees them! Her photos capture each genuine moment and use the perfect lighting. She has a clear talent and her work definitely shows it! She is a genuine person and was a doll to work with. Easily our most favorite vendor of our entire wedding experiences. I wish I could give 6 stars!
Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Liz - thank you so much!! It was an incredible experience working with you both and your families! I'm so honored you let me in and invited me to your intimate celebration and had as much of a great time as I did! -

Ariel B. Sent on 11/28/2021Kelly photographed our wedding; she is the best!
My husband and I had never had professional photos done and were definitely feeling a little awkward about it, but Kelly made us immediately comfortable and helped us pose and look natural. She not only captured all the family/wedding party photos that we wanted, but all of the little details and fun candid moments as well. She is very sweet, professional and great to work with! The finished photos have a beautiful style, were delivered on time and are easy to share.Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Ariel - thank you for the kind words and letting me share in your day!! I'm thrilled you were comfortable and the photos felt natural and like a reflection of your day :) -

Amazing photographer and person
Kelly is THE BEST. She did our engagement, wedding # 1 (covid), and wedding #2 photos and they were all stunning. She is so comforting and fun to be around. She captures every moment perfectly. All of our guests and especially our family LOVED her at the events and were even more stunned by her amazing work. Her photos are real, do not feel staged and are so fun! She just lets the couple's personality come to life! My wife and I will be asking Kelly to take our professional photos for as long as she will let us :) Long story short...HIRE HER!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Shannon! Thank you!! I loved getting to know you over the years and really enjoyed being a part of your celebrations! I'm so appreciative you both opened up to me and let me capture this amazing time in your lives! I can't wait to keep capturing your moments!!! -

If you’re reading this and potentially deciding between different photographers, stop now and contact Kelly. Kelly is very responsive and easy to work with, professional, organized, and does amazing work. My wife and I looked at many portfolios, hers was the best and the pictures we received 100% lived up to her portfolio.
We looked at several portfolios online of different photographers. In many cases we saw some great edited photos, but as we dug in further or looked at actual delivered wasn’t as good. The photos we got from Kelly were as great as advertised.
We got many compliments about our photos, and to be honest we have the best wedding pictures out of all our friends. I already recommended Kelly to all my engaged friends.
Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Joseph + Qian! Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate your support and sharing your positive experience :) It was truly a pleasure and honor documenting your wedding and getting to know you both! -

Professional, Kind, Extremely Talented
Terrific photographer and person. Kelly went WELL BEYOND our expectations. She was extremely professional and at the same time, we felt so comfortable with her; she helped all our pictures look fantastic and natural. If you are considering Kelly along with other photographers, I hope you use this as your sign to go with her, you will not regret it and in fact, you'd regret not doing it! She had samples to us the same night as our wedding, and the entire album in less than two weeks!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Thank you for the amazing kind words! I'm glad you had a great experience and felt comfortable with me! I'm grateful you let me share in your day and that you're so happy with your photos! -

Kelly and her husband Derek were an amazing duo to work with on our wedding day 9/21/19, and we cannot say enough about Hourglass Photography! From day one when we met for our engagement shoot, Kelly made us feel incredibly comfortable which is not easy to do in front of the camera. She was able to capture some of the most authentic shots of us on the beach that day, which excited us for what was to come on our even bigger wedding day! We were not disappointed.
Kelly took care of every photo I wanted with my girls while Derek took care of the men. They set up where we wanted to do our first look, and it was MAGICAL. Kelly and her husband let my husband and I soak up the moment with each other, we forgot there were even pictures being taken! They let us take our time embracing the moment, and never once interrupted or told us to start posing. I CANNOT WAIT to see these photographs! Kelly had a list of every photo combination we asked for including attention to details and decorations. She was incredibly organized and worked beautifully with our videographer.
Kelly and Derek made sure that we got every single picture we wanted, and they even stayed late into the night to capture some of the crazy dancing and pictures out on the terrace with friends and family. Working with her was a breeze, and she made what could have been a very stressful part of wedding planning extremely easy. She sent us 5 sneak peek photographs TWO DAYS AFTER OUR WEDDING… talk about efficiency! These photos are unbelievably stunning, and we cannot wait to see the rest. THANK YOU KELLY & DEREK!! We will 100% recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing, authentic, down to earth wedding photographer ☺

MEL!
It was SO WONDERFUL getting to know you two and being able to share in your excitement through your engagement shoot and your wedding day! We had such a blast through your planning and then getting to see your vision come to life with your written vows in the beautiful vineyard followed by the killer dance party! Your words really mean a lot, I'm so beyond grateful we were able to deliver everything you wanted and help you enjoy the start of your marriage :) Thank you! Love, Kelly -

where to start.. Kelly went above and beyond what we ever could have expected for our backyard elopement; if you’re between a few photographers, use this as your sign to pick her! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, and the pictures really proved it. She captured every moment with ease, our guests couldn’t even tell she was there! (Unless right in front of us) - she gave tips to make each picture flawless. We had samples within hours and the photos in less than a week. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and you’ll be just as lucky if you decide to work with her as well.Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
THANK YOU, Ali!
It was such a pleasure to photograph your elopement, I'm thrilled that you're happy with the photos and the experience of working with me! I appreciate you sharing your kind words! -

Kirsten Sent on 08/02/2020Absolutely amazing!
Words cannot express how absolutely amazing Kelly was for our wedding. Due to Covid we were unable to use our original photographer and we weren't sure if we wanted to hire a professional photographer. But once we got in touch with Kelly we knew that we had to book her! She was just so down to earth and really made an effort to get to know us and our story. Her energy is so warm and welcoming and you can tell by the way that she talks that she loves what she does. We were so glad we decided to have Kelly capture our day. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and our photos came out absolutely amazing. If you are looking for someone talented, genuine, and who is able to tell a story through their work than look no further and book hourglass photography!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Thank you, Kirsten!! I’m beyond glad I was able to add to your wedding day and memories :) I loved getting to know you and am sincerely so appreciative you asked me to share in your beautiful day! Thank you for the kind words and I wish you two the absolute best! -

Personalized. Intimate. Beautiful.
Our experience with Hourglass Photography was absolutely perfect. We were looking for a very specific type of photography, and Kelly was able to do exactly what we asked! She went above and beyond our expectations. My husband and I are awkward people and don't usually look good in photographs, but Kelly was so fun and kind that we immediately relaxed and we had so much fun. She genuinely cares about the people she photographs and is so excited for them. Our photographs turned out AMAZING. She is seriously the best around the North Shore. Choosing Kelly was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. We can't thank her enough. Seriously, you want Hourglass Photography.Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
I'm THRILLED you had a great experience working with me, I really do care about the couples I photograph and it was amazing and so fun getting to know you two! It means so much to hear that I exceeded your expectations, helped you have fun and relax, and that you're happy with the photos! Thank you for the kind words and taking time to share your thoughts, I appreciate your feedback and that you asked me to share in your day! -

Lily Sent on 05/18/2018Kelly is absolutely amazing! My fiance and I were nervous about finding a photographer especially since we were from out of state and wanted to make the most of our Boston photoshoot. We were definitely not disappointed! Kelly was so responsive to our messages before the shoot and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera on the actual day. End result: the photos are phenomenal! I can't stop looking at them!!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad I was able to help you feel comfortable and have a good time (I had a blast getting to know you too) and that you're happy with the end result! :) -

The best photographer ever!
Kelly is so amazing! She made my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of the camera. We had our engagement and wedding photos taken by her and they came out STUNNING!!! I am a plus size woman and was super nervous about having professional pictures taken. She made me feel so incredibly comfortable and stress free. She's the best!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:

Kelly is AMAZING! My husband and I are both really shy and we get suuuuper awkward when we're in front of a camera, but Kelly made us feel so comfortable! We actually ended up having a lot of fun during the photo time. We've already gotten a few preview photos back and they are seriously gorgeous! Kelly has a knack for capturing those real, special moments and we can't wait to see the rest!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Chelsea, thank you so much for the kind words! It means everything that you felt comfortable with me on your day, that you're happy with the end results, and that they captured you authentically. You two are so much fun and I had a blast getting to know you! -

Sara Sent on 06/12/2018Kelly was organized and prompt from the beginning! She was very accommodating in scheduling a time for us to do our engagement shoot as we were coming in from out of town. She picked a beautiful spot for us and even spent time researching it to make sure she got the lighting perfect. She sent us a prep guide with tips on what outfits to wear and everything which I greatly enjoyed! During the shoot Kelly was so easy to work with. She didn't make us do anything that we were uncomfortable in, and really just gave us suggestions and let us do the poses how we naturally would. The pictures were AMAZING! We've gotten so many compliments on them from friends and family! All of our friends were so impressed by the quality of our photos. I can't thank Kelly enough, she truly was amazing from start to finish! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!Kelly Stevens Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Sara! I had a great time with you two and I'm so happy you enjoyed the whole experience. This time is about you and I'm glad to be here to help :) -
