    I 100% recommend Kelley for your wedding!

    You won't regret having Kelley by your side if you hire her for your special day, trust me! She is a very talented professional, yet she makes you feel like you have been friends for a long time! I seriously thank the Heavens we found and chose Kelley as our wedding photographer because she is amazing! Not only was she super kind and fun to talk to, she also made us feel comfortable and kept us on schedule throughout the day. After she left, everyone in our family kept commenting on how nice she was. She gave great direction, and she captured the most beautiful shots in our location. The day seemed to fly by in a blur of chaos but all of our photos have captured special still moments that make everything appear so peaceful, fun, and magical.

    Beautiful Photography and Wonderful Professional

    I can’t thank Kelley enough for her gorgeous photos, wonderful professionalism, and incredible support. If it sounds like I am gushing - I am!!! I had found Kelley through the Knot and loved her work immediately. I was planning a destination wedding in California while living in Portland, Oregon. I was also putting together a wedding in five months! I needed to be able to rely on my vendors. From the start, Kelley rescued me from an awful wedding planner and connected me to almost all of my other vendors and a new wedding planner. She literally helped me put together a dream team of vendors that made my wedding day a breeze and a beautiful event!

    My husband and I hate having our pictures taken. In both the engagement session and the actual wedding day, Kelley was able to make my husband and I feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was able to capture our personalities and our love for each other. Our pictures are beautiful and have a natural feel to them! In fact, in all of the photos Kelley was able to coach my wedding party and family members into being comfortable in front of the camera. She literally was able to capture everyone “with their best faces on.” The candid photos from the wedding reception were also terrific and captured so many of our guests enjoying the celebration. In summary, Kelley was incredible and I loved working with her!

    The perfect wedding photographer

    I can’t imagine a photographer that would have been more perfect than Kelley! From the first time we talked on the phone, I fell in love with her energy! She’s so sweet, professional, and organized. I felt like I could relax knowing that Kelley had every aspect of photography handled! She even helped me fine tune my wedding timeline and offered amazing advice on wether or not to do a first look! Our wedding day was cold and windy, but Kelley did such an incredible job that you could never tell from the photos! Her editing style is stunning and she had our WHOLE ALBUM ready within two weeks!!! I’m so so grateful that Kelley captured our wedding and my husband and I truly can’t recommend her enough.

    So easy to work with and made us feel comfortable taking photos !

    From the beginning, Kelley was very friendly. We met at a bridal expo and saw her work and knew we’d book her for our wedding. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Kelley was always in contact with us. Our engagement session went so smooth and made us feel comfortable and got some great shots. Day of our wedding was right on schedule with the timeline she helped us with and took some amazing photos! Never lost her cool even with our large bridal party! Would definitely recommend Kelley to anyone who wants greats photos and great service!

    The very best!

    Kelley was such a sweetheart to work with! She took time before our actual wedding day to get to know us better and made the entire booking process so easy and painless. She was very professional and helpful leading up to our wedding day and on our wedding day was so much fun to work with! And most importantly, her work is AMAZING!! Our wedding pictures came out so beautiful and of high quality. We loved working with Kelley and are so grateful for the images that she provided that we will keep forever.

    Amazing photographer!

    Kelley was amazing! As a wedding planner it's always great to work with vendors that are flexible. It was a hot, hot day when we worked together, and Kelley didn't bat an eye. It was my first time working at this venue, and it can be hard to guestimate the sunset time, but we communicated the entire time, moved some timeline things around, and the couple was still able to get amazing sunset photos. I'll be recommending Kelley to future clients, for sure!! Thanks Kelley!

    Kelley is Amazing!

    Kelley is amazing! She went above and beyond my expectations for a wedding photographer! After browsing through her website, I got a great sense of her style, her personality, and her passion, and knew right away that I wanted her on my special day.

    Even though we met her on the day of the wedding, her bubbly personality made us feel very comfortable. All of our family and friends were impressed with her professionalism and easy going attitude.

    Kelley also worked hard to capture great shots of our 2 year old ring bearer by jumping around, calling his name, and by being silly. She got him to smile, which made our family portraits even better.

    Overall, we had a great experience with Kelley and would highly recommend her. She is a wonderful person who really puts her heart and soul into what she does. We love our photos and the happy moments they show. We wouldn't have chosen anyone else to capture our wedding day.

    Incredible Wedding Photographer

    Kelley was incredible! She was friendly yet professional. We loved her and couldn’t have asked for anyone better on our special day.

    An absolute dream...

    Kelley was an absolute dream to work with. I say that because I truly cannot envision a better photographer experience on the biggest day of my life. Her calm and professional demeanor were just what was needed to keep everybody calm and collected on my wedding day. Kelley is extremely thoughtful, which translates into her photos.. I never imagined that capturing every single detail was even possible, but Kelley proved me wrong!! She truly exceeded my expectations.
    I so look forward to growing our family and continuing to have Kelley capture our biggest moments. She is truly a dream to work with and I would highly recommend her to anybody seeking a genuine, talented and thoughtful photographer.

    Book Kelley Now!

    Could not recommend Kelley enough! She captured both our engagement shoot in Washington DC and our wedding day in Malibu. We LOVE all our pictures! She was great at directing for those couples that may need a little push (*ahem* us) and got all our pictures back to us so quickly. She also was a boss at directing all our group photos on the day of the weddings with rather large wedding parties and families. 10/10 recommend!

    The Best Photographer

    Where do I begin?! My husband and I absolutely loved working with Kelley. We met Kelley for the first time when she took our engagement photos and the moment we spoke for the first time, I felt like I had known her for years. I was a little apprehensive at first because I usually don’t like taking pictures, especially for an extended period of time. Kelley has totally changed my perspective. Throughout the entire shoot, Kelley made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and feeling like ourselves. The next time we saw Kelley in person was our wedding day a few months later. I had the same experience as the first. Kelley is unlike any other photographer I’ve met. Her pictures are just GORGEOUS and they completely capture the feelings and emotions that were felt at our wedding. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture our special day. We are so thankful for Kelley!🤍

    Super fun and professional

    Working with Kelley was great, she was responsive, easy to get in touch with. She checked in with me which was so helpful, as I was overwhelmed with planning.

    The day of she was prompt, professional and super easy to work with and made photos really fun. She sent over some sneak peeks the day of the wedding so I could share with family and friends and returned the rest of our photos quickly.

    We LOVE the images and can't stop looking at them. She was wonderful, I highly recommend her.

    I know it sounds silly, but she is actually the best photographer ever!

    Kelley was always on top of everything, right from the beginning. We had a long talk with her about who we were and what we were looking for. We told her we can be a difficult couple to photograph. My husband and I are both scientists, and unfortunately we tend to be quite awkward, especially when trying to be lovey dovey in front of a stranger. But with Kelley we instantly felt comfortable, she has such a bubbly and genuine personality, we were laughing with her like she was an old friend. In addition to her being super easy to open up around and work with, she is INCREDIBLY talented. In the posed shots, she made us look like models, and the candid shots made me cry when looking at them. All of the photos are well balanced and the colors are crisp and timeless. And somehow she managed to get all of these amazing photos back to us in record time, I have heard horror stories of couples not getting their photos back until 6 months after the wedding, but I was shocked to see our full album ready in my inbox just a short while after the wedding. Kelley was 10 out 10 in every aspect of a wedding photographer, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    AMAZING to work with!

    My husband and I got really lucky having Kelley as our wedding photographer. The moment we talked to her we instantly knew that she was the person we wanted to work with. She was so friendly, so genuinely kind, and really easy to communicate with. Throughout our planning process, Kelley never skipped a beat keeping us in the loop and the day of our wedding I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our favorite moments! My husband and I aren't the most photogenic folks out there, but with Kelley every moment captured was SO EASY to take. She made us feel comfortable, made us laugh, and ultimately made us feel even MORE loved on our special day. She went over and beyond and we absolutely love every photo that was taken.

She is so kind, patient, and fun! I got my engagement photos and wedding photos so fast! There is literally not one photo that I am not in love with. If you choose Kelley to be your photographer it will be the best decision you ever make, well other than marrying the love of your life :)

    Kelley is the BEST wedding photographer

    Kelley was hands down the most phenomenal vendor that we had for our wedding. When we decided that we wanted to have Kelley as our Wedding Photographer, she called us and we immediately knew that she was our person! Kelley has a light, friendly aura about her which I instantly gravitated towards. 

    On my wedding day, she was my sanity through the entire process...she was always calm, collected, and professional. Kelley made me feel confident and comfortable through out the entire wedding. She captured photos of EVERYTHING... I seriously have no idea how she was able to take all of the photos since I felt like she was by my side the entire night. But what I appreciate the most about Kelley, was that she was able to get everyones attention for the important photos (family, bridal, and a whole wedding photo) while exuding a calm -yet attention grabbing- manner... at no part of the night I felt like I needed to 'be in charge'; she was able to direct and make everything seem seamless. My entire wedding party and family could not stop boasting about how wonderful Kelley and her assistant photographers were. Kelley will not only produce beautiful photos, but she will be your biggest cheerleader throughout your wedding night.

    Kelly is amazing! She captures light and life in her photos!

    Talk about low stress. Kelley was amazing! She kept us on time, organized and made sure to include every single person in our wedding.

    Having worked the venue before, Kelley knew every spot to capture the light, when we should be there and how to stand. She did not miss a single detail. She was invisible when we needed her to be, but captured all the expressions and real moments from a distance.

    Kelley was able to capture moments that we did not even know had happened. She was just a joy to work with and her smile is infectious to all around her. You don't have to look any further to have a true professional, her photos are beautiful, and she is top notch.

    They were excellent and put up with our lack of planning and foresight

    They were a great photographer and a dream to work with! Thanks to them we have immortalized moments of our wedding that we will look back on for years to come.

    Kelley Williams is ine if the BEST decisions we made for our wedding..

    Kelley is such a talented photographer! She captured the most beautiful moments of the wedding and reception. She was very communicative, easily adapted to any changes. The best part? We never knew she was there, yet the photographs are as if she were in every moment. You will be glad you chose Kelley Williams for whatever photography needs you might have. Amazing!

    The best decision we made for our wedding!

    OMG, my husband and I are obsessed with Kelley and her photography!!! If we could give her 10 stars we would. For our engagement/wedding photos, I was looking for a local photographer who captures moments in a vibrant, candid way, and came across Kelley. We had an initial phone conversation and booked her immediately. When we first met in-person to chat about our upcoming engagement shoot, it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. She is SO friendly, professional, fun-loving and talented. At the beginning of our engagement shoot we naturally felt a little nervous and stiff (never having done a professional photoshoot before) and she made us feel instantly comfortable. And she's been so sweet to our dog who was a part of both the engagement shoot and wedding! She captured his personality perfectly. On our wedding day, she arrived early (with treats for our dog! So thoughtful) and easily chatted with my parents and bridesmaids, making it feel like she was just a part of the wedding party. Throughout the family/wedding party photos she was easily able to 'gather the troops' if you will - wrangling the rambunctious groomsmen who were goofing around while remaining lighthearted and professional, making sure all the right combinations of people got photos, etc. Throughout the ceremony and reception it never felt like she was in our face but she somehow got so many beautiful, intimate moments captured on film. Her husband Immanuel was her second shooter for the guys' getting ready photos and throughout the day. His demeanor and photos were also awesome. When it was time for them to leave we were genuinely sad to say goodbye! Overall: Kelley's prices cannot be beat for the quality, and her vivacious, laid-back personality and professionalism is unmatched. Kelley, you are officially our "lifetime" photographer! We can't say thank you enough for how special you made our engagement and wedding day and we will cherish the photos forever.

    Amazing Work & Fun

    I am a big fan of Kelly’s work. We worked together on a wedding and when I met her I already was drawn to her great energy! She not only take great pictures and captures the perfect moments she’s great at sharing advice in the wedding industry! I would highly recommend her to any couple.

    The easiest and BEST decision you will make for your wedding!

    Kelley Williams was one of the best part of our wedding! Seriously, she went above and beyond the duties of a wedding photographer. Kelley really took the time to get to know me, my husband, and our families. She was so supportive of our vision and really just wanted to give us the best experience and photos for our day. Kelley was extremely flexible on the day as things were changing and evolving. She is so positive and caring - I would recommend her to EVERYONE that is getting married. Her photos of our wedding are incredible and captured the candid and posed moments beautifully. The best thing about Kelley is that she reminds you that it's your special day and to stick to what you and your husband really want! I will forever be grateful for the memories she captured and the presence she provided on our wedding day! I highly recommend booking her for your wedding ASAP!

    Finding the one: Photographer and Friend.

    Kelley and I spoke on the phone for the first time for an hour and a half. We spoke about traveling, national parks, and beer. I had an instinct about her and hired her right on the spot (without consulting my husband first!) I later told him I felt like Kelley was a friend who I had know over a long time and who truly and genuinely cared about our wedding. I trusted her immediately and felt that she would provide us with a positive experience. I was not wrong. Throughout our engagement pictures and wedding, Kelley was focused, patient, and dedicated. She checked in with us to see how we were doing throughout our wedding process and provided support beyond what is expected from a photographer. I cannot say enough about our photos; we look through them every day and cherish the moments she captured. Our family and friends were grateful and impressed with the images she took. Kelley is an amazing photographer who puts in a lot of energy and effort to make sure you are taken care of, and that the images that she takes are a reflection of you as a couple. As I look back on our wedding day, she never made us feel forced or unnatural. I am so grateful I found her one random night on Instagram. We continue to follow her on her wedding adventures because we only wish the greatest things for her.

    I can't remember how I found Kelley, but my husband & I are so glad we did. I remember browsing through her website & falling in love with her photos. Her work is absolutely beautiful - her photos are artistic & tell a story. She has been so helpful with all of our questions & made the photographing process painless. We had a fairly large ceremony & reception that kept her quite busy, but she captured all of the moments we wanted. For our engagement shoot in January 2018, Kelley was so accommodating (and such a trooper) since our shoot wasn't the easiest to capture. We're so thankful for everything she's done. Our family, friends & wedding party enjoyed her so much. Thank you, Kelley!
