    The perfect photographer

    Kelsey was absolutely astounding as our wedding photographer. She is such a genuine person who made our wedding better just by being there, but the icing on the cake was how jaw-dropping the photos are. We could not be happier or more impressed by her professionalism and skill. I genuinely don't think there's a photographer out there who could have done better. Thank you so much for making our day even more incredible!

    Shenandoah Elopement

    Kelsey exceeded our expectations as our elopement photographer. From the moment we reached out Kelsey was professional, prompt, and informative. Before our elopement Kelsey gave us great information about shooting locations, restaurants, vendors, and a timeline for our special day. On the day of the wedding, Kelsey was flexible, personable, and the perfect hype woman for a couple who is typically camera shy. We received a preview gallery within 2 weeks of our elopement with amazing images and our whole gallery brought me to tears with the beauty and the moments she captured. We will treasure the photographs of our wedding forever.

    Engagement Photos

    Kelsey absolutely exceeded all expectations as our engagement photographer! I was so incredibly nervous about our session because I don’t have much experience in front of the camera but she made the entire session so effortless and fun! I actually found myself forgetting that I was having photos taken and was so wrapped up in the moment. All of our photos perfectly captured us as a couple. They were all so candid and natural looking as well as beautifully edited. She asked me what my vision was for our session and had such amazing recommendations for locations and even helped me choose my outfits to match the scenery. I will absolutely be using her for future photo shoots and I’m so happy I chose her to capture this special moment in our lives.

    Perfect experience

    From the very beginning Kelsey was so responsive and answered any questions I had. When we met on the day of our pictures she was so so kind, professional and just a great person to be around. She takes beautiful photos, and captures all the right moments. I would recommend Kelsey a million times over

    Simply put, Kelsey and her team are the best

    You can see it in all her work posted online: Kelsey is a truly gifted photographer and photo editor. If you're looking for someone who can enrich your engagement and/or wedding photos by perfectly complementing the happy couple with natural backdrops, you'll find none better then Ridge and Ramble Photography. And just as important, she's also incredibly easy to work with. It's normal for people to get nervous or feel uncomfortable when getting photos taken, but Kelsey and her colleague made everyone -- from bride and groom to friends and family -- feel right at home in front of the camera.

    It's difficult to put into words just how much we appreciate Kelsey's work before and after our wedding day, so I'll try to put it as simply as possible: Hire Ridge and Ramble Photography for your wedding. You won't regret it.

    Engagement photos

    Kelsey is such an amazing person and photographer! She captured our engagement pictures perfectly. She was so helpful from the second I emailed her. She recommended where to get photos done, where to stay, and things to do. She was so kind and helped us feel so comfortable. The pictures she took are stunning!

    Incredible!!

    Kelsey was truly amazing to work with! She helped us tremendously with location and vendor recommendations. Not only did she come up with the perfect timeline but she coordinated with our other vendors which took a lot of the stress off us. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Driving for hours to our location, hiking the trail multiple times, and getting drenched in the rain!! The best part was seeing all her hard work pay off with these gorgeous photographs! She is truly a master at her craft. She made us feel so at ease and the entire experience was spectacular!

    More Than Just a Photographer

    We have worked with Kelsey from maternity to our wedding and she absolutely goes above and beyond to capture the perfect moments for her clients. We truly feel like she is more than our photographer but our friend. When I started to get stressed about my timeline and making sure I got all my photos, she not only took the time to help calm me down but took command and organized everyone to get all the photos I wanted and more. Her style is so unique and she perfectly mixes her style while still capturing the moments you want. I honestly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else and constantly recommend her to my friends and family.

    The Absolute Best

    This review is so unbelievably overdue, but it was hard for me to put into words how I felt about my entire experience with Kelsey. I'm not an expert by any means, but her photographs aren't just photos; they really captured moments and elicited emotions. I wanted that - raw and real. Having no experience with wedding planning and only hearing about bad experiences, I braced myself. But Kelsey was AMAZING from the very beginning - she was so warm and kind. She really cared not just about the photography but she for me as well.  She was very keen on making this experience as special as she could. Constantly asking what my preferences were and checking in with me - but for someone who cannot articulate needs/wants very well, she was able to read me and understand. For our engagement shoot, David and I have no sense of fashion so I had felt bad that Kelsey had to deal with our wardrobe, but yet again, Kelsey did an amazing job. She became our personal fashion advisor and put a few things together that still made us feel like ourselves. I can't even begin to tell you how uncomfortable/unnatural it felt, but I was so thankful for her. She was able to talk us through and pull out our true selves. She sent us a teaser the very next day - I was floored. I had never seen myself in that way in a photo before and I was so happy to been captured in something so magical. Literal magic. 

    After that, I began to look forward to our actual wedding photos. But then the pandemic happened and we weren't sure what we were going to do. We remained in touch as no one knew what was going to happen.. From the original planned wedding, delayed, canceled, court wedding, elopement, to our finally decided small intimate wedding, Kelsey was the absolute best - she accommodated, adjusted, and really just made everything easy. She was very flexible - and she did it all with kindness.  She even went before the wedding day to scope out the place and also arrived super early on the actual day to get herself familiar with everything. Honestly, she was beyond anything I could have wished for. She really understood what we wanted. I knew she was there but also forgot she was there - which is something that not a lot of people think about. She captured so many moments that were so brief but held so many emotions. She captured quiet and "unseen" moments. When I finally got through her gallery.. yeah, I still have no words. I couldn't believe that David, myself, our friends and family - the most not put together and unphotogenic people had become ... wow. When I look through the photos, the emotions and feelings come rushing back because she wasn't just taking a photo, she was preserving our spirit and love. Sounds so cheesy but her photos really elicit those sentiments.  

    Kelsey is absolutely phenomenal - not just as a photographer but a person too. She was such an amazing soul to have as a part of our team - for support, encouragement, and cheer. Despite the scorching heat, she did everything with a smile on her face and no complaints. Her communication is effective, efficient, personal, and caring. What I thought would feel prescriptive, calculated, and transactional... was anything but.  Spending time with her felt like being with a friend. She is absolute magic and the very best - cannot thank her enough. We will treasure these forever. I will always recommend Kelsey to anyone who wants a true professional to create a personal and truly special photography experience.

    With Gratitude

    I started talking to Kelsey in Jan of 2020, before my now husband had even proposed. She was easy to talk to, very laid back, and really understood we had a ton of planning ahead of us (we never felt pressured to book). Fast forward to July 2020, we received some devastating news that my mother in law did not have much longer to live. We decided to head to SC and elope so she could be a part of this milestone. Before we left CO, I messaged Kelsey to see if she was available on our wedding day because I knew we would want someone to really capture all of those moments. This amazing woman rearranged her schedule and drove 16 hrs total to come photograph this bittersweet but beautiful day with only 1 weeks notice. My mother in law passed away a week and a half after our wedding and we're so grateful we hired Kelsey; she captured some beautiful, intimate, and candid moments but she also really captured how incredibly happy my mother in law was on our wedding day. Thank you, Kelsey.

    Beyond happy with our photos

    Highly highly recommend Kelsey and her team. We got married October 2019 in Arizona, Kelsey and her second shooter came all the way out for our wedding. The photos were absolutely amazing, everything that we wanted and more. Kelsey did a great job capturing candid moments, got plenty of portraits, and also took shots of the guests and details of the wedding which I so appreciated.

    Ridge and Ramble's reply:

    Lauren! Wow this means the world! Thank you so very much for your kinds words. I was so thrilled to be a part of your wedding day & for the opportunity to capture the moments of such a memorable weekend.

    Kelsey is the best!

    We were recommended to Kelsey by a local in Fredericksburg. We checked out her website, absolutely loved her vibe and warm color palette, and her pricing is extremely reasonable. We had never had our photos done, so we decided to do the engagement shoot as a "trial run" for us to get more comfortable. She is beyond nice, it's like hanging out with your friend. On our wedding day, she bought a second photographer (also amazing). She definitely has a great crew surrounding her. Kelsey was always available for any random questions I sent her way. We are so happy she was a part of our special weekend.

    Ridge and Ramble's reply:

    Annie thank you so very much for this review! It means so much! Thrilled to have been a part of your intimate wedding day!

    Amazing to work with!

    I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Kelsey for our engagement photos. She really went above and beyond for us. She was so understanding of some of our limitations and really went out of her way to scout out the perfect location. There is so much work that goes into the preparation for the shoot that often goes unrecognized but she handles the challenge with such grace and was so professional. I’ve had an overwhelming amount of compliments on our photos!! Thank you Kelsey for our photo album that we will cherish forever!

    Ridge and Ramble's reply:

    Wow Angela thank you so much for these kind words! It means so very much to me. I'm so happy I got to capture you two together!

    Stunning Photos, Easy Process

    I did bridal portraits with Ridge & Ramble and they. were. AWESOME. I honestly can't believe how beautiful they are, and they are exactly the mood and style I was searching for, as well. Kelsey was so wonderful, chill, and easy to work with, yet still professional and efficient. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Ridge and Ramble's reply:

    Grace! I had such an amazing time capturing you in your gown! Thank you so much for this awesome review! I'm so glad I was able to capture what you were looking for! Congratulations again:)

    Where do I even start? Kelsey was absolutely amazing to work with! She did our bridal portraits and our wedding day photography. I found her on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her natural, ethereal photography style. Her images capture the beauty of nature just as well as the people within. I liked that she had different package options so we could select the one that fit in our budget.

    She was extremely considerate and was always working behind the scenes. She got all of the detail shots while the bridal party was still getting ready and got us through the post-ceremony family photos and portraits quickly so we could enjoy the reception. I love how she balanced photographing family and friends as well as the small details that lots of hard work went into. The photos are very authentic and not overly posed or edited.

    She shares an album with all of the photos that can be shared with family. I like that I can pick and choose which photos I want to be printed from the digital files. I'm so thankful she was there to capture our wedding day and I would recommend her to anyone!

    Kelsey and her team were so amazing! She took all expectations and beyond exceeded everything! The photos were so beautiful and she always kept great communication to make sure that everything was just perfect. Kelsey asked for a list of suggested photos to capture that day and though the list was super long she captured every single one and more to perfection. Her quality of work is like none seem before and I cannot stop looking at the entire album, from the engagement session to the big day I cannot pick just one favorite photo. Thank you so much for all of your hard work Kelsey, you truly captured every aspect of an amazing day and I simply cannot thank you enough!

    Kelsey photographed our wedding in addition to our engagement session. She was very professional and wonderful to work with. My husband and I felt very comfortable working with her. All of our photographs came in a timely manner and are beautiful. She managed to capture so many of the beautiful, raw, and genuine emotions on our special day. Before our wedding, she provided recommendations in regards to a timeline and anything we could do to shorten our formal photography time after the ceremony. I appreciated that she went above and beyond to provide us with that information. She was also very timely in regards to showing up for the photo sessions, and even arrived early on the day of our wedding. If you're looking for a professional natural light photographer, I highly recommend hiring Kelsey.

    Kelsey photographed my wedding and engagement session and was absolutely fabulous. She sent our pictures in a timely manner, was very professional, and so easy to work with!

    Kelsey was an absolute delight to work with. She was professional, responsive and thoughtful. Her expertise with natural light photography was perfect for our outdoor wedding. The complimentary engagement shoot gave us an opportunity to practice being in front of the camera, and the photos were great to have for our invitations and wedding website. She made two very shy people feel completely comfortable. She even brought bagels to share while my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. Kelsey goes above and beyond, and my husband and I highly recommend her.

    I had the most amazing expirience with Kelsey. She instantly makes you feel at ease and comfortable. Her talent is truly incredible. All of the pictures she took turned out so beautiful. She excels in capturing the most natural and effortlessly beautiful candid moments. I will forever treasure the amazing photos she took of my daughter and I. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for photos that will be cherished for a lifetime!
