    Aunt Pamela

    My Niece is really a remarkable young woman! I am in awe of her materialization into an impressive, approachable, gracious person. Quite frankly, she is a star and I could not be prouder! My love to her and best wishes for continued success. I have "deepest & sincere" love for you now and forever. Pamela Raye (Tinson-Bowden)

    Amazing!

    Kelley is amazing! From our first photoshoot almost 10 years ago, I told her I wanted her to do my wedding photos and, even though it took almost a decade, I am so glad she did! Her attention to detail and her creative vision just makes everything work! Her realism/candid style was very on par with the type of photos we wanted for our special day. We did do some of the obligatory posed pictures that everyone does for weddings, but nothing is better than seeing real reactions and expressions. Everyone at my wedding could not stop raving about the food, the drinks, and THE PHOTOGRAPHER hahaha she was, in everyone’s words, “ON IT!” Every time something was going on she was right there snapping away! She used so many different angles and fancy photography terms that I don’t know anything about except that it makes the pictures look amazing haha and it wasn’t the same type of pictures over and over again. She really captured the night in a way that we will never be able to forget what happened. Long story short: this woman knows what she’s doing and if you hire her, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Kelley!!!!!

    Wedding ceremony and two receptions

    Kelley Raye and her team are wonderful. I hate being in front of a camera, and they were able to make me feel at ease. They captured so many exceptional moments that I would have otherwise missed on our special days. I didn't feel like I was constantly posing and they managed to get all the shots I wanted. Kelley is also very kind and professional. She was a joy to work with.

    Kelley was an absolute blast to work with! We wanted someone unique and her photography immediately drew our attention and we were hooked! We loved her style so much that we took the plunge even though she lived in ATL and us in STL at the time. We are so happy with the turnout of our engagement and wedding photos. We ended up posting up almost 770 or so photo's (the tagging was a nightmare though) that she sent to us lol. You will not be disappointed, you can see her passion in the photos that she produces, and that should indicate the quality and care that you'll be receiving.

    Kelley Raye never disappoints! This will be the third time I have worked with her, and I adore the fact that she allows her clients to take part in the creative process. As a photographer, I trust Kelley 100% to capture all of our special moments. Can't wait to work with her again!

    Kelley did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! We found her initially through a practical wedding and knew from the first glance at her photos that she was the right style for us. Laid back, realistic, but lovely photos - very artistic. She didn't force us into canned poses or too many awkward family photos (just enough to satisfy my mom, really). She and her assistant/fiance were a cheerful presence at our wedding (despite the oppressive heat) and the results are great! She travels from Atlanta to any location (our wedding was in DC) and her prices are very competitive. Very highly recommended!!

    From our first meeting with Kelley, my now husband and I knew that we were going to book her. She was so well prepared and professional, and from looking through photos of previous weddings she shot, we already knew that we loved her way of telling stories through photos.

    During our engagement shoot, she somehow managed to capture beautiful and dynamic pictures of us, even though we were being silly and laughing the whole time. She made us feel comfortable and gently directed us so that she could capture the shots she needed.

    Leading up to our wedding day, Kelley provided us with some really useful information to help us prepare and to make sure she captured the best shots possible. With the exception of our posed photos, we didn't even notice her taking pictures during the ceremony and reception. She was like a ninja and captured so many great candid shots of our celebration. We have received so many compliments on our photos from family and friends. It was amazing to look through the 500 + photos we received afterwards and relive the day, seeing things we had missed as everything unfolded.

    My husband and I have found our forever family photographer and can't recommend Kelley enough!

    When I first stumbled across Kelley's work last year I immediately knew I wanted to hire her. Kelley has an amazing capacity to take photographs that are true time capsules. Her style is rich and warm, and really transports the viewer to the exact moment in time in which they were taken. It was exactly what I was looking for to capture our wedding and I was so happy to find that the experience of working with her was so much more than just her amazing photography.

    Some highlights of my experience:

    Quality of Service: Kelley is such an incredibly thoughtful and well-organized vendor. When I first met her, she made a huge effort to get to know me and my fiance so that she could customize the experience to be exactly what we were looking for. When we first started planning, one of my biggest concerns was how to make the wedding photography not completely torturous to my now-husband. He really hates being the center of attention and getting his picture taken, but somehow she made him more comfortable with photos than I've ever seen him. In all of her photographs he is relaxed and clearly enjoying himself, which was such a gift for me. Additionally, she worked with me to find out the things I cared most about in the ceremony and reception, so she could work in how to include them all into her work.

    Professionalism: One of the things I love about Kelley is that she is the perfect balance of being professional while still being really fun to be around. She is really happy and excited for her brides and loves to celebrate the moments with them while still being so good at slipping around unnoticed when the real party starts so she can get those really great shots without being distracting.

    Flexibility: Kelley is very willing to work with her brides. Over the year I had to re-schedule our appointments several times. She was always super patient with me and never once made me feel like I was inconveniencing her.

    Thank you so much Kelley! We love you!

    Kelley did both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos. The pictures turned out beautiful and the turn around was super quick. We didn't have to wait too long to see the pictures. Kelley did a blog post with great pictures just a little over a week after the wedding and then we received our USB drive with pictures within a few weeks. The quality of the pictures is great!
