Eliza E. Sent on 06/25/2023The best wedding photographer!
Kelley photographed our June 2023 wedding at Jekyll Island, Georgia, and she did a phenomenal job! My husband and I explored and compared photographers for weeks. When I discovered Kelley's portfolio, I knew that she had to be the one to capture our big day. Kelley's work is beautiful, light, and natural. Our photos were not awkwardly staged, and Kelley made us feel so comfortable.
Kelley was a huge help throughout the wedding planning process. She was responsive and patiently answered my hundreds of questions. She has an extensive questionnaire for couples to fill out, which made us feel confident and prepared leading up to the big day.
Kelley's prices are affordable, and you get so much value for your money. She delivered hundreds of photos from our wedding day, and it seemed like she captured every single special moment. Her turn around time was also incredibly fast, which is not the norm for wedding albums. We received a large sum of sneak peak photos the day after the wedding, and our entire album was delivered within one week.
Bonus points to Kelley for being adventurous and willing to get into the ocean with us! She took photos of us in the water at sunset and was completely excited to capture us and our guests running into the ocean at the end of the wedding night.
My husband and I (and all of our guests) are just in awe of how talented Kelley is. We will cherish these photos forever. If you're still on the hunt for a wedding photographer, look no further! You can't go wrong with Kelley. -

Kelley Stinson literally made all of our dreams come true when it came to being our photographer. Prior to our engagement shoot, neither of us had ever been professionally photographed (besides school pics haha), and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease that the shoot went by so fast. The pictures turned out amazing! They captured our personalities and the love and laughter we share together.
Kelley stuck with us through a postponement due to COVID and a venue change, even after she moved down to Georgia. When our wedding day finally came around, Kelley and her team captured everything perfectly. The photos we now have of our special day are timeless and we will cherish them forever. We got the album from Kelley, as well, and we can't wait to see it.
Thanks so much for helping make our dreams come true and our day perfect!

Hiring Kelley for my wedding photography was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! She was like having a friend there to take your pictures. The weather on my wedding day was far from perfect but Kelley just rolled with the punches and somehow got the best pictures through the humidity and rain ! I am so pleased. She got all our images back in like a week and a half also. Do yourself a favor and have Kelley as your wedding photographed! You won’t be let down. -

Amazing photographer
If you’re looking for a photographer in the VA beach/Hampton roads area, PLEASE do yourself a favor and contact Kelley. My husband and I met her after we were engaged almost two years ago. She did our engagement shoot and most recently our wedding. She is nothing short of AMAZING. her photos capture real, raw moments. That was the most important thing to me when looking for a photographer. I told her from the start I don’t like when it looks like couples are photoshopped into a frame. Her work is unbelievable and she delivered everything we wanted and more! Not to mention she is FAST! We had our photos back in less than 3 weeks! I stare at them all the time! She’s a wonderful photographer, but even better, Kelley is just an overall wonderful person. We love her and are so thankful for her kind, genuine work. -

Dana Sent on 10/20/2019warm and friendly, talented and speedy!
Where do I even start with Kelley?! When my husband and I went to do our initial consultation, her golden retriever Cammy greeted us and I knew instantly she had to do our wedding. After seeing her portfolio and how she captures soft, naturally lit photos I couldn't wait to see her work her magic at our wedding at the Water Table. Throughout our engagement photos, small intimate wedding last year, and big wedding celebration this October she instantly put us at ease, capturing perfectly the love and humor my husband and I hoped to portray. I trusted her vision and instincts and she did not disappoint, nailing not only the small details I hoped to remember about my special day, but the wide sweeping pictures of the venue, guests, and wedding party. And her turn around time has to be the quickest around!! And special bonus points for creating a special website for our beauty vendors to capture all photos that displayed their work. little things like that set Kelley apart and make her the best in the industry!Kelley Stinson Photography's reply:
Thank you so much Dana!!! You guys were a dream to work with and your wedding was truly amazing!! So honored to have been a part of it!! -

Autumn Sent on 08/21/2019Absolutely Wonderful!!!
I cannot even put into words how much my husband and I enjoyed working with Kelley. She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding reception photos. If we had enough money, we would have paid for her to come to Bermuda and take our wedding photos too!
My husband can be very difficult when in front of a camera, nor does he feel comfortable, but working with Kelley he was able to laugh and smile! She even had him posing in ways that he felt comfortable knowing he didn’t have to look directly at a camera. I can not recommend her enough! I am so happy I chose her photography services so now me and my family have gorgeous photos to treasure forever. -

Kelley was amazing! I was very particular about the type of people I hired for my wedding. I wanted to feel like everyone was my friends and family. After our first FaceTime meeting with Kelley I know she was going to be our photographer. She is so easy going and incredibly lovable. She is also able to control a wedding party and tell people where to be and what to do. Her photos are also amazing! So clean and timeless. They won't ever go out of style. Kelley made our day so easy going and fun! -

Megan Sent on 05/15/2018Kelley is AMAZING and a definite must for your wedding day!! She is so friendly, laid-back and easy to work with. She is very responsive to questions and gets back to you right away. I was really glad that we started with her with our engagement session -- she was great! Kelley worked well with Logan & my awkwardness behind the camera well (haha) and made us feel as comfortable as possible helping with poses, etc. She also did great with our dogs who were only being somewhat cooperative that day. The pictures turned out great! She definitely has an eye for great spots to capture the beauty of the outdoors and the couple. I definitely could tell that having worked with her before our wedding day made us more comfortable and relaxed behind the camera. The pictures from our wedding turned out GORGEOUS and we will cherish them forever! Again the locations she chose for the portraits were amazing! The detail shots are some of my favorites. She was able to get all the family portraits done in a quick manner and captured all the shots we wanted and made everyone look fabulous. Thank you again for capturing our fairy tale day!!
If you are still deciding on your photographer Kelley is a must!! -

Katy Sent on 01/16/2018Kelley Stinson was one of the best things we booked at our wedding! She is very laid back and was totally on board for whatever we wanted to do. But she also knew how to guide us in the right direction, like switching our ceremony from 5:30pm to 4:30pm-- and that little change gave us the most beautiful lighting of all time for our wedding photos. I also had some specific shots I wanted, and she took notes about those and made sure they happened on the day of! On my wedding day she came to my house while I was getting ready. Kelley was so calming to have around, and she even cleaned my shoes AND my wedding rings just so they would look good in photos. The detail shots she took that morning are gorgeous… I didn’t think I cared about detail shots, but they are some of my favorite photos now. Kelley had a second shooter go to the house where the groomsmen were getting ready. My husband said she was “cool” and made all the guys feel at ease, and we actually got some great portraits of the groom because she made him so relaxed.
The most important thing is our wedding photos. Every single one is a keeper. Kelley’s photos made my wedding look better in pictures than it did in real life. All I wanted was ONE photo of me and my husband that I would always love and pass down through the family… and now I have 50. Kelley truly captured my vision. Kelley’s photography made our wedding look like a magazine, but at the same time, so personal. Kelley knows how to see true joy in people and click the shutter button at that exact moment. And she knows how to show you your wedding in a perfect light when you’re too busy that day to see it yourself.
Kelley’s prices are unbelievable for the amount of manpower, hours, and photos you get with her packages. You will love your photos if you go with Kelley. You will love spending time with her and so will your guests. And if you book her now you will have a chance to get in before she is famous.
