    She gave us more than we ever could have asked for

    From the very first conversation, Kelly had the kind of energy that made me think, “I weirdly want to be friends with her”—and that’s saying something, because after 40, I’m not exactly in the market for new friends. I would literally turn to my fiancé during planning and say, “Kelly would have laughed at that joke,” because she just got us. Her vibes were amazing—warm, grounding, and genuinely comforting in a season that can feel overwhelming.

    What truly set her apart was how deeply she understood and respected our family dynamics. We could say things like, “Can you kind of avoid this?” or “If this part gets weird, can you adjust?” and there was never judgment or awkwardness. She accepted us exactly as we are and handled everything with intuition, grace, and total professionalism. It felt like having someone in our corner who genuinely cared about our comfort.

    And then there are the photos. I don’t even have the words. Kelly somehow found a way to make us both look incredibly photogenic while actually living in the moment. I had spent so much time imagining how my face would look that day, wondering if I’d need to be posing or thinking about the camera — and instead, I completely forgot she was there. She has this rare gift of being invisible while also being present for all the right moments. Especially with our parents. They aren’t getting any younger, and we are so incredibly fortunate to have them, and she captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening — moments we will cherish for the rest of our lives. When we saw the final gallery, we both teared up. The photos are beyond incredible — emotional, timeless, and priceless. Hiring Kelly was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will be grateful forever.

    One of the best wedding investments

    Kelly was an incredible photographer to work with and her services were one of the best investments we made in our wedding. She is highly organized, professional, and communicative with us and other vendors, which made the planning process stress free. She took time to really get to know both of us and our hopes for wedding day. Throughout the wedding day, she was efficient, provided a calm presence, and somehow captured the best photos with us barely noticing or having to pose. We love that our photos capture these beautiful, special moments with friends and family.

    Kelly is the Best Photographer in NOVA

    Kelly is AMAZING. First of all our wedding photos came out incredibly. But more than that Kelly was so very organized and didn't miss a single moment. She literally captured the spirit and every moment of joy on our wedding day. She made the planning process a breeze and made a camera shy bride feel beautiful. I will be forever thankful for her work.

    Amazing photographer!

    Kelly Loss was the absolute best to work with for our wedding photography!! She was a constant source of light throughout the whole planning process and our photos came out stunning! She is extremely organized and really helped us nail down the timeline of the day with planning meetings along the way, and was constantly reminding us to have fun and not get overwhelmed with the little things. Without her we would not have had such an amazing day and amazing photos to remember it by. Cannot recommend her enough!

    Kelly was perfect for us!

    Kelly was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She perfectly captured our wedding in her photos, and we really feel like we relive the day every time we look at them. She helped us think through what we wanted our photos to reflect, which made them all the more meaningful to us because they are true to our relationship. Her photography style is timeless, lively, and approachable. Kelly’s kind and down to earth nature really stands out in an otherwise daunting wedding industry.

    Great choice for a wedding photographer

    We were thrilled with Kelly Loss Photography. Kelly was very easy to work with, and was flexible and warm throughout the process. Because she got to know us, she made us feel very comfortable on the wedding day. She was efficient with the family photos, and well-organized. She carried through with everything we discussed during and after the wedding. We were very happy with the quality of the photos, and our guests praised them as well. Her communication stood out as clear, consistent and timely. She was professional throughout.

    Wonderful experience

    Kelly was our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she truly and carefully listened to what we wanted and clearly strived to get to know us as people and as a couple. We really appreciated that. Kelly’s clear communication, creative ideas, kind professionalism, helpful planning skills, and dedication made everything so seamless. We wanted our photos to capture the genuine feel of the day, and she did just that—beautifully and naturally. We're thrilled with the results and wholeheartedly recommend her.

    Her photos tell the story!

    If you’re looking to spend less time in photographs and more time actually enjoying your wedding day, then Kelly is your gal! She efficiently and expertly captured all of the key moments, including some portraits, and fit in some of the additional shots that we wanted even though we ran a bit behind. Her documentary style truly tells the story of the day, and her photos show the authentic emotions. She goes the extra mile to meet with the couple for a planning session and then offers a special gallery viewing party when the wedding photos are ready. If you do hire Kelly, I would recommend that you request to meet her second photographer prior to wedding day. The fact that we hadn’t established a relationship with her may have limited our ability to get a variety of “getting ready” shots. Still, she delivered some nice and quality photos. All in all, if you want a wedding photographer who truly invests in you, hire Kelly! She is friendly, responsive, kind, empathetic, and quite talented. We loved working with her!

    Hire Kelly!!! She's incredible!!

    Hiring Kelly was absolutely one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She spent so much time getting to know us before the wedding, and our photos very clearly reflect her attention to capturing what was important to us. We really wanted to see the joy and breadth of emotions of the day and wanted photos that reflected our wedding as vibrant and loving, and that shines through in every photo!! Kelly is also so personable and brings such a wonderful energy to all parts of the process which made us feel so comfortable and so happy to have her with us!

    In addition to creating a photography schedule that was invaluable and that we shaped the rest of the schedule around, she made sure to note people’s accessibility needs and to work with us closely on comfort for everyone as we had a lot of access needs. She answered every question we had happily and was just such a wonderful part of our day!! She also did our engagement photos at Great Falls and they turned out just so gorgeous.

    I had a lot of anxiety about how I would feel about the photos as a plus size bride and Kelly listened to my concerns and made me so comfortable and I’m so so thrilled with the photos and feel gorgeous in all of them, which I’m very grateful for.

    Kelly is fantastic!

    Kelly did our engagement photos and photographed our wedding this past winter. We loved working with her: she makes you feel comfortable every step of the way so you get beautiful, natural, photos of your wedding; she is organized and experienced and offers great feedback through the planning process; she is super fun and kind and a joy to be around! My husband and I were both worried about feeling awkward taking our engagement photos and wedding portraits, but Kelly helped us loosen up, snuggle up, and be ourselves, which made our pics turn out great. Because she is so easy going and fun to be around, everyone in our bridal party felt comfortable taking “getting ready” pics, and our guests felt comfortable just being themselves and having a good time. We are so happy we chose to work with Kelly, and you will be too!

    Stunning photos, kindest photo taker

    Kelly’s understanding of her clients needs is truly unmatched. From the moment we met her via zoom we knew we had found the one. Her process to prepare herself and you for the big day is both thoughtful and thorough. And her photos are stunning on top of it all! We truly loved working with her and would hire her again in a heartbeat for whatever photography needs may arise. She is a real one.

    Couldn't recommend more!

    Kelly is such a joy to work with - absolutely recommend. She's communicative, flexible, friendly, and the quality of the photos she took at my wedding reception are amazing - she managed to make two people who very much are not comfortable in photos look good!! She is so friendly and put my whole family at ease, and kept us organised in the planning and on the day-of. She made the whole process, from booking, to planning, to photos on the day-of, and delivery of the final photos, very simple and easy. She was a huge help in planning out what photos we wanted (as we didn't have a very clear idea), and I appreciated the close attention she paid to making sure she knew who the key people were and took care to ensure we had photos with them. She made it so much less stressful, and we absolutely love how all the photos turned out - she took both portraits and group photos as well as more candid photos at the reception, and captured the feeling of our evening so well. 100% recommend working with her!

    Absolutely excellent photographer—and fun and easy to work with.

    It's difficult to really convey how excellent (and easy) it was working with Kelly without sounding hyperbolic. From the get-go—asking questions, expressing what we did and did not want for our wedding pics—she was extremely reassuring, perceptive, and basically knew precisely what we were going for. As we got the process started with Kelly, we explained that we felt like most wedding photography tends to be the stuff of cliche and overly staged photos that honestly border on cringe. Kelly knew exactly what we meant at the outset—since her work and approach are antithetical to this—and her guidance throughout reflected her unique skills and superior approach. Kelly's just an absolute pro in every sense of the word: she takes her work so seriously, her attitude and sincerity were so refreshing, her planning was impeccable, and her shooting of the wedding itself was flawlessly executed. We were just astounded by the beauty, tone, and authentic feelings captured in our wedding pics. Kelly went above and beyond for us and it was an absolute joy to work with her; we would recommend her to anyone who wants one-of-a-kind wedding day memories and an easy and fun approach to a normally stressful set of decisions. We're seriously so grateful we found her!

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!!

    My husband and I wanted a small intimate wedding with close family and friends only, but we knew we wanted professional photography to capture the day. After my first email inquiry with Kelly I knew she was the one! Kelly met with us multiple times to make sure she understood what was important to us and that we were comfortable. The day of, she was the perfect calming and organized presence. Our photos came out even more amazing than I could have imagined!! Kelly captured aspects of the day we didn’t even see. We are so thrilled with her work, and she is such a wonderful person to work with. I highly recommend her!!

    Doesn't charge extra to download photos

    Kelly was the photographer for my wedding and we couldn't have been happier! She asked us exactly what we wanted for photos and that's what we got. Photos were ready earlier than expected, and she didn't charge/watermark online downloads of photos. We highly recommend her.

    Amazing experience

    Kelly was incredible. Super professional and took the time to understand what we wanted and delivered at such a high level. She helped us plan out the night to make it perfect. Then she captured the best pictures that we will treasure forever. More than a photographer we now consider her to be a friend. Can’t recommend her more highly.

    Beautiful, joyful photos of us and loved ones!

    Kelly truly captured spontaneous moments of joy and celebration that highlighted the things that mattered most to us about our wedding while also nailing the logistics and execution of "must have" elements, like family portraits. Her candid photos belie the amount of thoughtfulness, planning, and attention to detail that Kelly clearly puts into every single wedding. From the beginning, Kelly's priorities as a photographer -- no fussing, focus on the important moments -- aligned with our values, and her kindness and attentiveness to getting to know our story and our priorities made us feel valued and taken care of without any added pressure or stress. She carefully thought through our day-of timeline and suggested ways to capture everything we wanted to capture (getting ready, first look, and family portraits), the things we didn't realize we would love (gorgeous newlywed photos), and all while still prioritizing what we wanted to prioritize (key moments of the ceremony and lots and lots of partying!). We would HIGHLY recommend Kelly to any friend or family member with a wedding in the DMV area.

    Truly the best experience

    Kelly was a dream to work with! The care she took to get to know us and find out what was most important to us comes across in her work. Her calm, supportive, professional personality made her a welcomed presence in the midst of planning anxieties. The photos she was able to capture of our wedding are phenomenal and she made the process so easy from start to finish!

    Capturing our Special Moments!

    Words can not express how thankful we are for choosing Kelly to capture our wedding day! In the lead-up to the day, we only had the opportunity to meet in-person with Kelly once, due to us living overseas. She made it clear her goal was to capture the sweet candid moments and professionally staged shots without us becoming "photo fatigued". Kelly prepared and excellently executed her photo schedule for our staged pictures and showed amazing professionalism for her flexibility for the bumps in the road that come with throwing such an event. Her knowledge of the area also allowed us to capture some optional staged shots in Old Town that became some of our favorites. Her warmth and enthusiasm made Kelly a joy to work with. We would recommend anyone to have their special day captured by Kelly.

    Calming, Organized, and Inspired Photographer

    Kelly was one of the best parts of our wedding! Working with her was such a joy. Meeting her in person sealed the deal for my fiancé and I, she is delightful, organized, and people focused. Kelly is the best person we hired to help with our wedding. Every meeting with her was laid back and detail focused in the least overwhelming way possible. I am forever thankful Kelly was brought into our lives! If you want beautiful pictures and a calming presence on your wedding day, Kelly is the photographer for you!

    Amazing photos and service with Kelly!

    We loved working with Kelly for our wedding (and engagement photos). She produced beautiful photos and expertly captured the moments and feelings of our wedding day. She was efficient in directing family photos to capture all the photos we wanted while still being able to enjoy our wedding and cocktail hour. We love both the candids taken throughout the day as well as the portraits and we’re so happy we invested in Kelly’s services!

    Kelly is so talented, we're so glad we found her!

    Kelly was absolutely incredible and our wedding would not have been the same without her. Even before we got to wedding day she provided such wonderful and needed advice, making gentle suggestions and providing moral support every step of the way. She asked the perfect questions to get prepared to shoot our ceremony/after party and was so kind to our guests. The pictures she took are GORGEOUS and exactly what we'd hoped for. We are so grateful to have found her and would 100000% recommend her to photograph anyone's wedding. Thank you, Kelly!

    Kelly is the best

    We were beyond pleased with both our photos from Kelly as well as our experience working with her. We have received so many compliments on our photos from family and friends! Kelly was personable, flexible, and completely lacked fuss, as per her tag line! I was very nervous for wedding photos because I do not find myself to be very photogenic and am self conscious in general. Kelly made the whole experience painless! I also did not want to be stuck on my wedding day spending a ton of time taking photos! Kelly was able to get our photos done in 20 minutes flat so we could enjoy our day. She was willing to work with us so we could have both the photos and wedding day of our dreams. I have always loved my parents wedding photos which were shot in a very photojournalistic style. I expressed this to Kelly and what she captured the day of our wedding completely fit my vision. Kelly was our absolute favorite vendor that we worked with!!!! We highly recommend choosing Kelly as your photographer!
