    We love Kelly Lemon!!

    It's hard to describe how incredibly talented, inspiring and creative Kelly is. My mom and I attended one of her boudoir bashes in Seattle and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. We were both super nervous walking in but once we got there and had a mimosa in hand and realized how accepting and fun of an environment the bash was, we felt so much better and so excited.

    Kelly does an amazing job of making her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have always been camera-shy and thought that I was not very photogenic. Once Kelly showed me a few photos of the session partway through I felt amazing and beautiful!! The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined and allowed me to see myself in a new way. Kelly even hand delivered prints to my house.

    Kelly goes above and beyond for her clients and I feel honored to have been photographed by her. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding, engagement session or boudoir photos!

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further!

    Words cannot express how much I love Kelly and the work she does. You meet a lot of people as you are planning your wedding and it can often feel very impersonal. However, Kelly is one of the most genuine people that you will meet and she legitimately cares about her clients. The first time we spoke it was like talking to a friend – she spent most of the time asking questions about my husband and myself and sharing her own backstory. On the day of the wedding, we were running behind and Kelly repeatedly checked in with us to make sure that we were okay and really kept everyone calm. She even joined us on the dance floor at the end of the night!
    One of the things that we really struggled with in finding a photographer (and some of our other vendors) was that because we were having a traditional Indian wedding, the pricing models would often be cost prohibitive because they were structured around an 8-9 hour wedding day with an hourly rate after that (our ceremony started at 8 with a break from 1-6 and the reception from 6-12a). Some of the photographers that we spoke to wanted to charge us for the entire duration of the day (including the “off hours” in between the ceremony and reception), but Kelly was understanding of our situation and was willing to work with our budget. Similarly, since we didn’t have an engagement shoot with Kelly, she offered to meet up with us when we were in Seattle before the wedding to take a few photos and get to know each other! She was also so respectful of the fact that this was an Indian wedding and was willing to walk through the ceremony steps with me to make sure she understood the critical points of the day, which I really appreciated.
    Planning a wedding (especially from out of state) can be extremely stressful, but Kelly really helped ease our nerves in the lead up to the wedding. She was always available to chat and was extremely responsive. Kelly will definitely be my go to for any future events/big occasions – she is such a joy to work with!

    We had an engagement/proposal, wedding, and day-after "rock the dress" session with Kelly in the mountains outside of Seattle, and the cliffs/beaches/city in Oahu. I highly highly recommend that you schedule as many Kelly Lemon photoshoots as you can! She is fun, relaxing, smart, and a brilliant artist. Of all the stressful decisions you make around wedding day, having a joyful relaxed and talented photographer by your side is so amazing! My husband and I enjoyed all of our sessions with Kelly - she gives good direction throughout the shoots, but it also feels really natural the whole time. I was pretty intimidated when I saw all the beautiful people in Kelly's portfolio - before realizing that it really is just regular people whom Kelly is able to bring out the best in! AND she is willing to hike/travel/climb ANYWHERE for the perfect shot!!

    There aren't enough words to describe the level of appreciation I have for Kelly. She is truly phenomenal at her art and SO sweet! I had my first boudoir bash session with her a few weeks before my wedding. I was beyond nervous, with my heart in my throat as I entered the studio. Within a few minutes (and thanks to mimosas) I was completely comfortable with Kelly and Angie. My hair and makeup turned out amazing thanks to Angie's amazing skills! Since it was my first session, I was worried I would look awkward in all of the pictures. Thankfully that wasn't so because Kelly is wonderful and really did pose me from head to toe in the most flattering poses. She was so easy to work with and gave me a couple sneak peeks during the session which blew me away! My husband was beyond surprised to see the pictures on the wedding morning, totally worth it! I'm so in love with how my gallery turned out and it's given me a new sense of confidence I never expected. I highly recommend Kelly and hope to have another reason to book her in the future!

    It's hard to put into words just how much we adore Kelly! This sweet girl braved a very cold and rainy PNW day to capture our engagement photos before heading with us to sunny Maui to capture our Happily Ever After. She is incredibly sweet, professional and a pleasure to work with. We loved just chatting with her about life, faith and everything in between. Kelly took incredibly good care of me the day of our wedding even making sure I was eating and drinking enough! She spent so much time making sure we had all the pictures that we wanted, and then some. She climbed wet rocks, windy cliffsides and so much more for the perfect shot. We had a wonderful experience working with her and will definitely work with her again if the opportunity should arise!

    We have only seen three pictures and we're already thrilled at our choice of Kelly. After doing just our first look photos, in the freezing cold, my husband said, "Oh my gosh, she is awesome". I can't wait to see what else she has captured and will update this review more when the full photo set arrives.
    My husband & I had some bad luck with unexpected work commitments, travel out of the country, and sickness so we could never connect with Kelly to do an engagement shoot but that was 100% not her fault. Kelly was flexible and understanding, even though I was not the easiest to communicate with during the lead up to the big day.
    I knew Kelly growing up (she was one of my best friend's little sister's friends and we went to the same school for a time) so that added personal connection was pretty cool. She has shot other weddings of people who grew up in our hometown and seeing the work she did for them was enough to convince me to have her as our photographer. Our experience on the wedding day was awesome.

    I cannot express how happy I am that we found Kelly!

    She is professional, organized, extremely talented, and on top of it all - such a warm, thoughtful, genuine person whose love for what she does truly shines through every photograph.

    From the day that we met Kelly she treated us like friends, not clients.
    Throughout the planning process leading up to the wedding day, Kelly met with us for dinners, puppy dates, a day trip with her hubby to wine taste/hike (for our engagement sesh!).

    We felt that we were really able to connect with her and know who Kelly was. So come the wedding day. She wasn't just a "vendor" standing in the corner taking pictures of us, it was like a friend (a really professional talented friend) hanging out and interacting with us, our friends and family taking our pictures. And because of this she not only was able to take pictures that captured all the little details that we poured our hearts into, but she caught the sentiments of our guests, the laughter that my husband and I share, and truly illustrated the loving and fun environment that was shared during our wedding. I look through our pictures and the feeling of the day is just so present in all the images.

    I cannot gush enough about her talent, but she also was extremely helpful with making sure the day of details ran smoothly. She communicated well not only with us, but the rest of our vendors (videographers, day of coordinator DJ etc), she was able to direct/corral our family and friends with respect, and she would always check on me to make sure that I was truly soaking in everything of the wonderful day.

    Kelly is amazing and made our wedding day so wonderfully memorable.

    What can't I say about Kelly?!! She is just an amazing person all around! Not only is she a great friend of ours, but she is an amazingly talented photographer and we are so lucky that she was available to shoot our wedding for us! I knew from the start that I would love to have Kelly as our photographer well before we were even engaged. Her photos are amazing...just check out her website! She has such an eye for detail and lighting and style. She knows how to capture what is important to a couple and what they are about, what defines their love. I don't necessarily consider myself to be very photogenic but I was floored when I saw the work of art that she created out of us! She captures the moments effortlessly! Not only was she there to capture the most important moments in my life, but she was also there to help me with the details and wedding questions prior to the wedding, and to talk me off my ledge on my wedding day when I was completely overwhelmed. Kelly is a beautiful person who does beautiful work. If you get the chance to work with her I hope that you are completely touched by her as a person and not only by her work!

    If you want photographs that capture the time, the memories, the emotions, than you MUST have Kelly Lemon Photography be a part of your big day! From the moment Kelly and I first interacted I knew without a doubt that I wanted her to capture my big day. Looking on her website I loved how she used natural lighting and captured REAL pictures with REAL people showing REAL emotions; none of the overly posed photos you see sometimes. Kelly was able to do our engagement photos as well as our wedding and we had the best time with her! After our engagement session we took the opportunity to get to know her a bit more by having dinner and I can proudly say I have become friends with this amazing lady and cannot wait for many more dinners. I also decided to surprise my groom with a boudoir album for his wedding gift! Kelly and I were able to schedule a time and place for this shoot to take place. She made me feel so classy and elegant and the pictures came out very tasteful and lovely. Kelly helped me design an album and delivered it to me before the wedding. It turned out beautifully and I am SO happy I decided to do this type of photo shoot and would encourage other brides to do the same. On my wedding day she came in and was SO excited for me! What I love about Kelly is that she knows EXACTLY what she is doing and how to get everything done with the amount of time given. She plans things in advance: walks the grounds to pick out good spots, thinks of different shots, etc. and because of that the photos do not take as long as one might think. Another aspect that I LOVED about her is all of the prep work she does before the wedding. She goes over timelines, family portraits and who will be involved, as well as asks if there are any special requests such as specific shots, specific people we want to have pictures with at the reception, etc. Kelly puts SO much time and effort in to the weddings that she photographs and that can be seen in her work.

    Kelly brings extra light to an already amazing day. She is aware of what is going on all over the ceremony and reception for the entire day. Her professionalism is outstanding and is willing to go anywhere and give that extra little bit to really document your day the way you want it to be documented. Kelly also makes sure she takes the time to get to know her clients to better understand what kind of photos they would like. We really were blown away by how much extra fun she brought to our wedding!

    I would trust no one other than Kelly Lemon to capture your important day. Not only is Kelly extremely professional and kind, but she takes the time (at no additional charge) to get to know you and your family so that she can capture the event in the way you envisioned. She has the eye for the perfect pose, the perfect angle, the perfect lighting. She captures moments in film with more liveliness than how the event itself was remembered by those who participated in it. Kelly is capable of capturing the intimate moments of a wedding as well as the 250 plus crowd shots. She makes everyone feel photogenic and has a way of devoting herself to her client throughout the event such that you feel as if she has documented every experience you have had (even when it all seems like a blur). The quality of her images is unsurpassed -- in fact, many times people comment on the image quality before they comment on the beauty of the subjects photographed! Kelly devotes herself to the family, making sure everyone is included and making sure that the family photo session is fun. I had complete confidence in her and when I saw the final images from my wedding she exceeded my expectations. Finally, Kelly's prices are unbeatable for the value you receive -- the image quality, her dedication to capture all aspects of your event, her unique eye for the best shot and her ability to identify your needs, make her the best photographer you can hire for any special occasion. As a true testament to the person she is and the business she runs, we grew so fond of Kelly in working with her that she will be invited as a guest to our next big event!

    Kelly Lemon is like no other. She has been so incredibly supportive, loving, and wonderful throughout our wedding day as well as the days before. Not only is she incredibly strong, overcoming various odds throughout her life, she is a phenomenal photographer. The moments she captures are so genuine and beautiful. She helps guide you through every step of every photo without being pushy or bossy. She never gets offended if you dont want a certain pose or group shot. And before she departed for the night, she had a slideshow already edited and ready to go for us to have the next morning. Kelly is an delight with family and a professional all around. Thank you Kelly!
