    Keith was wonderful! He made sure that everyone involved in the photos were comfortable and at ease. He made sure we had multiple locations for our photos. The experience on the day of the wedding was wonderful. Keith emailed almost 70 photos to us within 10 days of the wedding and I was blown away by the quality. I've never considered myself particularly photogenic and I found plenty of shots I would be proud to frame. More importantly, he somehow managed to get multiple photos with my parents smiling. They are very stoic people and it's always hard to get them to smile. I can't wait to get the CD of digital copies of all our photos in about 3 weeks.. I love that we will have all of our photos digitally.

    Keith took - seriously - the most amazing photos of our wedding. He was very accommodating of our requests (including a few last minute schedule changes we made the night before the big day), professional, and also had a very cool vibe. He replied to requests in a timely manner, was early to the event, and kept to the schedule outlined for delivery of the pictures. Keith really made an effort, it was clear he scouted the area prior to our wedding day, so he knew exactly what to capture and how best to do it. He worked the whole event, from the moment he arrived, and was not afraid to work hard for the perfect shot. His photos are NOT the run of the mill pose type. His style ensures a one of a kind wedding album, full of organic, natural, and effortless moments. Its amazing - when viewing some of the pictures - I felt like I was present at moments - although physically not - I could feel through his photo. I feel like my wedding photos are editorial and I love showing them off because I know they look ridiculously good. We were so pleased through each step of the process - Keith satisfied us, above and beyond. He definitely delivered.

    We plan to use him again.

    Thanks Keith!

    Keith is awesome! He did a wonderful job on our big day taking unique and fun photos throughout the day. I was also able to spend some time talking to Keith about the unconventionalness of our wedding, and he was both open and excited about the new experience. He was friendly and great company to have at our wedding. We definitely recommend his photography services to other couples getting married, especially if you are looking for something cutting edge and fun and not the same ol wedding portraits you see everyday.

    Re: Keith Nelson Photography

    This man failed to properly shoot our wedding, he made no preparations for the wedding day and wasted considerable time dragging us around trying to find shooting locations and ended up delaying the reception meal.He refused to take shots that we wanted or in the style we wanted.

    He promised he would give us the original image files and that all the images would be photoshopped. He only worked for about 4 out of the 5 hours he was present choosing to socialize, disappear and make the most of the free bar instead of taking pictures. He provided less than 200 images - including many that had simply been turned black and white. There was little or no editing done to any of the pictures and the few he did bother to edit were very badly photoshopped - my wife did a far better job with a free downloaded program.

    He provided the images firstly on a non working CD then on 2 further CDs, all with the title scrawled on the CD by hand.

    Despite numerous emails he refused to resolve the issue preferring to result to threats and intimidation.

    We ended up taking him to court to reclaim some of our money and even outside the courtroom he still behaved in a threatening manner trying to intimate us whilst calling rude names. Despite the fact he also chose to lie under oath in court we won our case.

    We had to pay in CASH presumably to prevent any charge back had we used a credit card.

    Avoid this rude, arrogant, unhelpful 'photographer' unless you want poor quality images that you'll have to edit yourself before showing anyone.

    Please feel free to contact me for examples of his work highlighting the poor standard of photography, editing and amateur mistakes.
