    Wedding photographer

    To say Kelly is the best is simply an understatement. She is absolutely extraordinary. Having met her at several of our other friends weddings as well, we got to experience her excellence numerous times. She is consistnatly the best at what she does. Everyone of our guests complimented her work, and how amazing of a person she is.

    Kelly Balch and her team are the most amazing and professional photographers. Kelly and Kelsey Balch are warm and inviting and make your photo sessions feel like you are just having a nice day with your best friends. Their energy is contagious and will make you shine brighter, smile bigger and laugh harder. If they need extra photographers, they only select the best and everyone on their team is just as incredible. I will recommend them to anyone who will listen.

    Kelly is such a gem to work with. Her positive vibes and loving spirit are exactly what you need and want on your wedding day. She kept us laughing and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera ! Our guests still comment on how much they loved her and are wanting to book her for their own wedding :)

    There are not enough stars or thank you's for Kelly Balch. Kelly came to NC to shoot our outdoor December wedding. She not only was fun, courteous, and professional, she went above and beyond what you may expect a photographer to do. From shoveling ice off the deck for the first look with my dad, to helping me with last minute "adjustments" before walking down the isle, Kelly was amazing. She found a wonderful local second shooter, scouted some really cool photo ops in the nature surrounding the ceremony, and made everyone at the entire wedding feel comfortable. It was like having your best friend there except she's super professional and gives you direction on how to look cute while also capturing all those little in between smiles and moments that are more candid. The edited photos are STUNNING, and it's not just our good looks ;) She knows what she's doing. And she KILLS at it. Seriously, look no further. Kelly Balch photography is really your only option.

    PS: had a VERY hard time narrowing down a few pictures to put up here. They are all so special and gorgeous.

    Kelly is nothing short of an amazing photographer and amazing person! I've had the pleasure of working with her during several weddings(I'm a makeup artist) and just last weekend she photographed my own wedding. It was PERFECT! She's always professional, organized, fun and calming. Her photography skills speak for themselves, but her personality just puts her on a whole other level, I've received numerous compliments about her from my guests already. I will definitely be referring her to all my friends, family and clients! Couldn't be happier with her services. If you're looking for a photographer for pretty much any type of event, Kelly is your girl. You're welcome in advance ;)

    I can guarantee you will not find a better photographer than Kelly Balch. My wife and I were so lucky to get into contact with her. She was super accommodating to our large group and made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Kelly can quickly organize a lot of people to get the best shot possible. She has an eye for creativity and find the most beautiful shots. Kelsey, her partner, is also an amazing photographer herself. They both work together so well to complete the best team. They not only got the most amazing photos of our wedding, but made everything so much fun! Usually people dread taking pictures but it was actually one of my favorite parts of the day! They made it so enjoyable! All of our wedding party ended up becoming friends with them as well as us. You will not only get the best photographer but an astounding person as well.

    Kelly and her team did such a fantastic job from beginning to end. They were accommodating to our wishes and worked with our schedule so we didn't have any additional wedding stress. Kelly shot us in a park and at the beach the day before our wedding (which wasn't super close to her home). She made the drive because she wanted to capture us where we wanted photos taken. She led the shoot with experience and professionalism and let us smiling and laughing. She captured our feeling in her photographs and we have the framed memories forever.

My husband and I weren't the only ones who enjoyed her. All of our family and friends enjoyed her as well. I will recommend her to everyone !

    I cannot even describe how thankful and amazed we are with Kelly, her skill, her creativity and just everything!! We felt so comfortable and relaxed and the photos really show it. She explored all possibilities of angles, backgrounds, everything, and you can really see that our wedding was captured perfectly. Every guest at the wedding was also complimenting her at every turn.

    My husband and I booked Kelly to photograph our ceremony and reception. She came highly recommended by a friend and I know why... we were not an easy couple to work with since we despise taking photos. Kelly, not only got every photo we wanted, but she made it so much fun. I got every photo I wanted and had a ton of fun during the process. She is not only a great photographer, she has an amazing personality as well. It makes her the best photographer to work with.

    From our first phone conversation I could tell that Kelly was professional and detail oriented. As the wedding day came closer Kelly was always available to answer any questions that I had. On my wedding day she was a few minutes early and was so calm she put my nerves at ease. She had a detailed list of shots we had talked about and worked so well with my family from three years old to ninty three . I can't say enough nice things about her and would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

    Kelly is seriously the best wedding photographer around! Not only does she take amazing pictures, she is so easy going and so much fun to work with! It feels as if you're just partying with another friend/family member, yet she is still super professional. I'll definitely be recommending her to anyone that asks my for a photographer! :)

    I am so happy we hired Kelly for our wedding. She was so professional and easy to work with. We were out of our comfort zone being photographed but Kelly made us feel as comfortable as possible. She would show us pictures as she was taking them to give us encouragement! We had an absolute blast with her and so did our bridal party and everyone else at the wedding. So many people commented on how great she was. If you have an opportunity to use Kelly, DO IT. You will not be disappointed!

    Many of our vendors came to us by strong referral by family and friends. Kelly was recommended to us by her father who happens to work with my (now) husband! After initial conversations with her and evaluating other photographers, we chose Kelly and so happy we did! We confirmed our venue McCormick Home Ranch on a day when there happened to be a freak rainstorm in the middle of July 2015 (el nino). The wedding didn't have any tenting or rain precautions and the next morning when we returned with the check to finalize our date, we anxiously asked what happened to their reception and rained out wedding. It turned out that was a wedding that Kelly was shooting for a good friend of hers from college! She met us for a consultation and wanted to show us the pictures from that wedding. The shots she was able to capture under the circumstances and limited windows were amazing! We knew at that moment that she not only had the talent to get the shots, but she also had the planning and coordination skills to keep the day moving along - which was a key factor for us since the day goes by so quick!
    She's professional, quick to respond and makes you feel so at ease in front of the camera, even if you're not used to being photographed. Our engagement photo session was super unique and she isn't afraid to get a little dirty to capture breathtaking moments that capture who you are as a couple.
    She worked that wedding like a true professional and we hired her fiance Kelsey as a second shooter and a bonus shooter for an extra hand. They bring out the best in each other and the subjects they are shooting. I'm usually very self conscious in front of a camera, but on my wedding day, I'd never felt so beautiful and confident about taking a photo. From just from her teasers I know we will have photos that we will treasure forever!
    Thank you so much Kelly and crew- glad our wedding brought you guys into our lives and we look forward to keeping you on as the family photographer!

    Kelly and her team were AMAZING! We got married at the San Diego Safari Park, and we wanted her to come see the venue (so we could pre-plan photo locations!) a couple months before our wedding. She gladly made time and spent a day down there with us scouting out the perfect locations in the park - and she did not charge us for the extra day of service! We knew this would help make our day less stressful and Kelly was such a doll to do this for us.

    Kelly did our engagement photos up in Santa Barbara, and then our wedding in San Diego - with no fees for travel to either location. She was very responsive to all emails, and open to any ideas we had to. Our photos from both days look AMAZING - we get compliments on them all of the time! We could not have asked for a better person to capture these special once in a lifetime moments for us. Kelly went above and beyond... she really captured us perfectly in her photos. We feel so lucky to know her and call her a friend!

    Kelly is amazing! We met her at another friends wedding and loved working with her! We worked with her during on engagement shoot, unfortunately she was already booked for our wedding date. She is so much fun to work with and she made us feel at ease. One of her colleagues was there to shoot the wedding and he did just as amazing as Kelly. Will definitely use Kelly for future photo shoots!

    Kelly Balch is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but an amazing human being. Her laugh is infectious and she makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She's is the perfect balance of professional and silly. I can not wait to get more photographs taken by her.
    We got our edited photos sooner than expected, and they are all so great that it's seriously hard to pick which ones to print!
    I highly recommend Kelly Balch for ALL of your photography needs! (She really is the best!)

    Thank you so much, Kat! This made my heart warm! I wish you and Jeff all the best! I hope to always photograph ever milestone in your life. I love you guys so much.

    Kelly Balch is truly a gifted photographer who commits to capturing each and every special moment of your big day! Her kind and good natured energy is contagious and allowed all of our guests to relax and let loose. Kelly's ability not to miss a moment is incredible, and her energy and passion comes across in the photos. Kelly's stunning shots take us back to the big day each time we look at them and we fall more in love with them every time we view them. Kelly captured all the emotions, laughter and love perfectly. The photos have also been amazing to show family and friends that couldn’t make our day and all of them have said they feel like they were there after viewing them. Thank you Kelly!! We will treasure the photos for ever!
