Anchored in Love

r day. She has such a positive attitude and is genuinely kind with her clients best interest always mind. We would definitely recommend anchored in love to anyone!

his photo taken by the Anchored in Love crew which is a huge deal!

gave us such amazing wedding pictures. i would absolutely recommend them for any couple that wants a happy, fun, and artistic team to handle your special photos.

ts imposed are absolutely outrageous, compared to the other options in the area. I foolishly chose this vendor because they offered both videography and photography, which most other vendors don't. I foolishly chose this vendor thinking it would be better. I could not have been more wrong. My first clue should've been when the communication process alone was atrocious. They sent long questionnaires and repeatedly requested for me to fill out, even though I did, but their site wasn't working and wouldn't submit my responses. My second and biggest clue was when the photographer showed up with his wife, and was literally teaching her how to take shots, while letting her be the one to take the pictures of the most important day of my life. Also, making matters worse, apparently he also left the videography up to her as well, even though she had no idea how to even photograph a wedding, so one of the two key moments in my wedding (being given away and actually saying vows), was lost. The moment my brother gave me away, was not captured, in fact, you couldn't see anyone in the wedding party, hear what we're saying, nothing. Instead, you get the backsides of all of our guests. They refuse to give you all of the footage of the video, that you pay an extra $500 for, so you are stuck with whatever cuts of the film they decide are best. You barely see me walking down the aisle, there's no view of me being given away by my brother who was crying, and my soon to be husband shaking his hand and promising to take care of me for the rest of my life. Needless to say, having an amateur in charge of my $500 ceremony video was one of the worst parts. No, I did not know his wife was going to be the one in charge of the video, I wouldn't have allowed that. Breaks my heart more than words can say, to know that this company put someone's significant other learning how to be a photographer and just spend the day at my wedding, above the importance of those moments in my life. My mother passed away when I was younger and I do not have a father, and my husband's mother and father just passed away, so the moment of him and my brother coming together, that was something that should've been caught on camera just like any other girl being given away by her father. There are no close ups of me and my husband or my wedding party, and it wasn't difficult, considering I had 2 bridesmaids and he had 1 best man, and we had maybe 14 or maybe less people sitting in seats lined up, in only one row on each side. I have no words to fully describe just how upset, disappointed, and genuinely heartbroken I am. There's also no reason I should've had to continue to press on, when I wanted a picture and the photographer kept persuading me to just be done, or when I had to go to the top floor of the house inside, and ask the photographer to please come down and take pictures of everyone having fun outside, or having to continue to request the photographer take certain pictures that i really wanted, without him looking irritated or "over it." I would NOT recommend this vendor, if you can help it. Their adorable website does not translate well into their work and you will get far less than what you're paying for.

hey were stylish, well-prepared, and made me feel like a model. They were also very willing to work with us on our somewhat crunched timeline, and were very accommodating of our somewhat rough-and-tumble location.

was amazing. He made sure that we posed properly (we're pretty awkward and uncoordinated) and had a bunch of great ideas. We 100% reccomend Anchored in Love for anyone anytime.

t of our wedding day, and I couldn't agree more!! :)

nd Anchored in Love and can't wait to see what they capture at our wedding!

she really did capture some great shots with her. She allowed us to bring our own "props" to showcase some of our personality too. I felt like she just knew what kind of photos we were looking for and captured the exact feel I wanted to capture. She had wonderful ideas of location (she even suggested the park we took pictures at since we're not from the Wilmington area), and she was so easy to work with and we felt really comfortable with her. I was so nervous going into it and worried it was going to be awkward and that this would show in the pictures but she put us both at ease and the pictures look so real and not forced at all. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Can't wait to see what she captures at our wedding!

only her photos but her wonderful personality. We had our engagement session back in November and they turned out so perfect! You can genuinely see the love that Kelly has for photography and weddings and she will capture the most precious moments that you will cherish forever. Also, if there's a package that she offers and you want to add/delete something, she will work with you to ensure you get everything you want. Look no further because you have found your photographer! Looking forward to the wedding and seeing the beautiful memories she will create! Thanks Anchored in Love!!

really adapts to any situation with ease… like our 70 pound German Shepherd not quite cooperating during the shoot☺ As for our wedding photos, Kelly captured so many wonderful moments. Our guests were raving about her ability to make younger children cooperate during photos and her ability to get everyone to smile for photos in general. Honestly, the only regret I have was not hiring Kelly for the whole day. We hired Kelly for 8 hours but on a day like your wedding, its worth the extra splurge to have her there all day. I would use Kelly in a heartbeat for future shoots. Best and sweetest photographer, ever.

tures, and i told her this, and she took very lovely "in-the-moment" (aka:"Real") photos that truly captured the joy & emotions of the day! kelly is a bubbly and fun person to work with too!

es tell a story trapping the range of emotions felt by our family, guests, and most importantly us. There is a perfect blend of formal, candid and artistic to appeal to everyone's favorite style. ps. She makes the most uncomfortable in front of a camera, comfortable.

get compliments all the time on our pictures and who did them. It was a great price and totally worth it! Thank you Anchored in Love! You're absolutely wonderful!!
