Kemper Fant is One in A Million
Kemper exceeded every expectation we had for a wedding photographer--While his reputation proceeded him, we were blown away with how adaptable he was and by his commitment to delivering the best possible product for us. An hour before our wedding ceremony, it poured down rain and our venue lost power. We delayed our start time and Kemper advised that we take advantage of the 30 minute window when the weather improved. Because of Kemper's experience, we ended up having the perfect light for our pictures! Kemper is professional, personable, and puts the needs of the clients first. Kemper kept our bridal parties laughing and at ease throughout the day and our guests are still raving about him weeks later. We look back at our wedding day with full hearts because of how perfectly Kemper captured it. Look no further folks, Kemper has the ability to make you feel like you've known him for years and will stop at nothing to ensure your special day is exactly how you dreamed it to be! -

I loved my wedding photos from Kemper! They were very beautiful. I am shy in front of the camera, but he made both my husband and I feel very comfortable during the photography sessions and was fun to work with. Kemper is very knowledgable and provides clear directions; he had creative ideas for our photography when the weather was unexpectedly poor. He is also very responsive to email/text and is easy to get in touch with, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend him! -

Kemper Mills Fant Photography
The photographer was one of the vendors we were struggling with finding the most. We were getting married after dark in winter on nearly the shortest day of the year. Most everyone we met with tried pressuring us into doing a first look during the daylight hours – which we were dead set against. That is, until we met with Kemper. He did a great job of making us feel comfortable with our decision to not have a first look and was confident in his abilities to take beautiful pictures in limited lighting – which he came through on! There were a few hiccups with a flash function after the ceremony – but he and his assistant handled it well and it was resolved quickly. Our pictures were delivered in about 3 weeks post weddings (which included Christmas and New Years!) and are absolutely stunning. We would highly recommend working with Kemper. You cannot go wrong with his years of experience and expertise in any setting.

Kemper was incredibly helpful, supportive, and professional. He was able to work with me, a very camera-shy, self-conscious, and anxious bride in a way that made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and excited to share these cherished photos. He will take all the time you need to discuss, plan, and execute the moments of your wedding that you will want to look back on for the rest of your lives. His talent to so naturally photograph the most important and intimate moments of your wedding is priceless. -

Kemper photographed my wedding at Sundara this September and I am so happy with my photos! He is super experienced and professional and knows how to capture all the perfect moments in short order. I liked how he worked with me in advance to align on which photos I wanted and if I was planning any special things. His photography is beautiful as well, and my photos came out polished and gorgeous. I am so thankful I had Kemper to capture all of my wedding moments! -

Booking Kemper was one of the best wedding decisions we made. His photographs are amazing and beautifully capture our personalities and our day. He was a dream to work with both leading up to the day and on the actual wedding day. I would recommend him 100 times over. -

Easy, fun, professional, the best wedding photographer possible
During the planning process, Kemper was a very calming presence. He encouraged us to just send him texts with any questions we had, and he was quick to respond. Kemper made sure that he gathered a full picture of what my husband and I were hoping for the wedding day, and he held to our wishes 100%. Kemper thoughtfully navigated complex family dynamics and was able to get every shot we could have hoped for. One of my highest praises for Kemper is how well he orchestrated a crowd, how timely he was, and how well he was able to capture moments without anyone even really realizing he was there! The time we spent with Kemper for the couple's photos was also a breath of fresh air, he is just so fun to be around! -

Kemper shot my sisters wedding and the photos were excellent. My wife and I never thought of a second person and always wanted Kemper. The one thing that stands out to me about Kemper is that he listens. He listened to our concerns, took them to heart, and above all was professional and an great person. -

From start to finish, our experience with Kemper has been nothing short of professional and FUN! After our first meeting, we knew Kemper's laid back style was exactly what we wanted and needed for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, he came with more energy and excitement than we could imagine. It's very clear that he loves what he does. He was efficient and listened to all our requests. He handled the difficult family members and moved through our list of family with ease. Many of our guests commented on how positive and efficient he was. We even got to enjoy cocktail hour! He seemed to capture all the special moments of our wedding without us knowing he was there. During the reception, he engaged with all of our guests and got some of the best candid photos! The emotions he was able to capture through his lense are spectacular. We got our photos back in TWO WEEKS. We were thrilled. They are beyond anything we could have expected. It felt like having another friend at the wedding and we walked away with priceless images. We are SO grateful for his calm demeanor, artistic eye and fun spirit. -

Dara L. Sent on 02/04/2020Beautiful photos and a pleasure to work with!
Kemper did an amazing job with photography at my wedding! The photos turned out beautiful, and I was so impressed at how out-of-sight he remained - some of my favorite photos were amazing candid moments where I didn't even realize he was there. He is a true artist and a consummate professional. I also really appreciated that he was so efficient with group photos after the ceremony, meaning that my husband and I got to truly enjoy the cocktail hour, rather than be caught up with photos the whole time.
I would strongly recommend Kemper to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! -

When my then-fiance (now husband!) and I sat down together at the beginning phases of planning our wedding, we asked each other what were the top 4 important things to us as far as budget planning goes. We both said (in no particular order), my wedding dress, our wedding rings and our photographer and videographer. We didn't care what the cost was, we would spend whatever we needed to spend to have the very best. I believe that's an important conversation to have at the beginning of your planning phase so you know from the get-go what is the most important to you both; the rest can fall into place and be budgeted accordingly. Kemper was referred to us from our wedding coordinator/venue manager from Cari at Sundara Wedding Venue (Roanoke, VA). The minute we saw Kemper's website with all his previous wedding albums, we were in love. The colors, the shots, the angles, the vibrancy, the creativity, the shine, the quality, the story you could see from each photo.....we wanted the same for our wedding photos. Kemper stands out above the rest with his enthusiasm, professionalism, friendliness, relatability, creativness, commitment to his clients and love for his job. He was with us every step of the way with keeping us organized and making sure we understood everything we needed to do on our end, met with us before the wedding to go over specific shots we wanted/check in how we were doing, and made everything smooth as can be on the day-of, capturing every little detail that meant the most to us. We just received our photos a few days ago and we are blown away, completely blown away at how much of an amazing job he did with making our day come to life all over again and ensuring we can look back years from now and relive every detail of the day. That's what it's about, isn't it? We invested in the top photographer to ensure what we were given were top quality photos (and service) so we can have these memories for a lifetime. We are forever grateful to Kemper (and his assistant photographer Trevor) for being there for us on the best day of our lives and giving us the most beautiful photos we have ever seen. We can't wait for him to make our album as well! Thank you to Cari for referring us to this incredible team and thank you Kemper and Trevor for being the best photographers we could have ever dreamed of having. -

Having looked through my parents' wedding album literally hundreds of times over the years, I knew photography was one of the most important things to me when I was planning our August wedding. After browsing a ton of wedding pictures online, I knew that Kemper was the perfect choice to capture our day. His photos are gorgeous, of course, but one thing I love about his work is that he goes beyond the traditional photos you'd expect at a wedding and captures truly unique and special moments. Even the more traditional photos are made more beautiful by his creativity and the unbelievable things he does with light. Beyond his work, Kemper is a true professional - from the time we reached out to him about shooting our engagement photos, we knew we were in good hands. He knows exactly how to structure your wedding day to ensure you get the photos you want (we leaned on him quite a bit when working on our day of schedule) and he brought a sense of calm, structure, and fun to the day that we appreciated so much. Our wedding was in August and I can't stop browsing periodically through our photos to relive the day - our friends and family have been simply blown away. I would absolutely recommend Kemper to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed.
