There's truly not a bad thing to say about Karen. She was recommended to us by our venue, The State Room and from the moment I viewed not only her Instagram, but also her website, ...
I knew she was the right photographer for us. Her philosophy on capturing moments with a highlight on the importance of family is what drew me to her instantly. From the very first conversation and meeting to our wedding day, she has gone above and beyond for me and my husband. Not only are the photographs she takes breathtaking, but she takes the time to get to know you, your family and those truly important to you to make sure that everyone feels comfortable enough to be themselves on the big day. On my wedding day, I had an allergic reaction and in the drop of a hat, she went to a CVS to get me Benadryl -- I mean seriously, what photographer does that? Every time we see her, it is like seeing a family member. She is absolutely a shining light, someone you want to have in your corner and on your team not only throughout planning but on your day and beyond.
I could never say a single bad word about this amazing woman!!!! She is the absolute best! She did our engagement photos and knew exactly what to say to make sure my new husband an...
d I felt comfortable! We had never had pictures taken like that before so we were a bit awkward at first. When we got the pictures back I was AMAZED! I had never seen either of us look so awesome! I haven’t gotten the wedding pictures back yet, but from the few preview pictures we have seen, I can only imagine how happy we will be with them! Hire Karen!!!!!
Karen is not only a talented photographer, she is also a beautiful, friendly, relaxed person who we are so happy to have in our lives now. Since meeting her, we have felt like we h...
ave a trusted friend and ally documenting this moment in our lives. We were both nervous about the process, but Karen (and on our wedding day, our second photographer Mas) made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and I think that shows in the photos. What I love most about Karen's philosophy is that she's not just your photographer for your engagement and wedding day, she's your photographer for life, and we're excited to have her there for all the big moments in our new life together.
I will never forget the first time I spoke to Karen on the phone. My then fiancé and I were in the process of choosing our wedding photographer and Karen was on the top of our reco...
mmendation list. We quickly learned why she was so highly recommended- not only was she easy to get in touch with (especially between her busy work life and home/mom life), but she quickly showed us she was an expert in her field. Her thoughtfulness, patience and attention to detail is one of a kind! She truly took pride in listening to our vision of how we would like our memories captured through photographs that will be cherished for a lifetime. After seeing our PHENOMENAL engagement and wedding photographs, we knew we had a photographer for life! Without Karen, our wedding would not have gone as smoothly as it did! She beyond exceeded our expectations and we would hire her again in a heartbeat! My husband and I can't wait for what the future holds and to have the next chapter of our lives captured by Karen's excellence!
As I began my search for a wedding photographer, most of the options I looked into felt pretty much the same: generic wedding lingo, stock-photo images, and an overall lack of pers...
onality. But, from the moment I saw Karen Kelly's website, I knew there was something special about her and that she'd be the right fit for us. Karen is not interested in just showing up and taking some pictures of your wedding; she wants to chronicle your family's story. From the first time we met her, she exuded warmth, energy, and purpose in her work. Part of how she does this by limiting the number of weddings she does in a year and allowing her to devote herself to brides and grooms, as well as the many families she continues to photograph as they grow. This not only made us feel special, but allowed us to feel like we were really going to be taken care of.
As you can see from her portfolio, Karen's work is truly personal and thrives on special moments rather than staged arrangements. Upon seeing our photos, I was blown away by how good she made us look, how adeptly she captured our personalities and preferences, and the visible excitement, joy, and love found in every picture. For example, my husband and I talked to her ahead of time about being interested in some shots around the city for our first look photos. Karen made the suggestion in our pre-wedding meeting that I get a red coat to wear with my dress (December wedding!), and scoped out some unique locations outside for use on the day of. The result was some incredible photos of us in the city we love, with my red coat looking absolutely fabulous as a pop of color in the shots. Karen's attention to details made these photos true to us, but better than anything we could have ever imagined ourselves.
Furthermore, her care and hard work makes for an easy, fun customer experience. I mentioned to Karen at the end of the reception that I was interested in doing a Christmas card using wedding photos, and so asked if she could send along one or two good ones in the week following our wedding. Cut to me looking at my phone at 2am that same night and seeing that she had sent along two gorgeous shots from earlier in the day for me to use! I loved the photos, but was even more impressed with her taking the time to honor my request- and so soon, at that. This is just one way in which Karen goes above and beyond for her clients.
At the beginning of my search, it never occurred to me that our wedding photographer would stick around longer than the reception, but Karen does such a fantastic job that you come back to her for new additions to the family, special occasions, and more. She has more than accomplished this with us, and we are now proud "KKP Lifers." Karen Kelly puts her heart into every interaction and every photo she takes, and I cannot wait to continue to include her in our story as she helps us capture ours. I highly recommend that you do the same.
If you are looking for a talented, passionate and fun photographer for your wedding, look no further! Check out her webpage and I am certain you'll agree - her work is fantastic!

After I got engaged, I spent hours looking at different wedding photographers' portfolios. Finding the right photographer was incredibly important to us, since these would be the lasting memories of the day. When I came across Karen's work my fiance and I were so impressed - not only the quality of the photos, but the artistic way Karen was able to capture genuine emotion in a photograph.
My fiance (now husband!) and I live California, so we knew we would need someone who would partner with us across the distance. Karen was always available to talk - either through email, phone calls or even Skype! I never had trouble getting in touch with her, and I am so appreciative. She spent time discussing our vision of the day and getting to know my fiance and I to ensure our photos were representative of us!
Two days before she was set to shoot our wedding, Karen drove over an hour to meet us for some strawberry picking engagement photos. We were both uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Karen put us at ease and captured some very fun photos. Somehow she was even able to get them back to us the next day so we'd be able to see them before the wedding!
On our wedding day, Karen was the epitome of calm and organization. She did a great job taking a variety of photos (details, portraits, candids) with a second shooter. The photographs truly captured the emotion of the day, the personalities of our friends and family, and even some of the details we missed during the excitement! We have received nothing but compliments on our photos, are are so excited to get our wedding album and photos printed!
What makes Karen unique is the combination of professionalism, artistry and fun she brings. With Karen, you don't need a videographer - her photos bring the day to life!
We first met Karen Kelly early in the wedding-planning process. After the first few minutes of our informal meet-and-greet, we knew we had made not only the right choice, but the b...
est choice. We were welcomed into her home, met her dog Mosby, and immediately felt that we were in good hands. She provided us with our package options, as well as all of the à la carte products she offered. She made the booking process extremely simple and painless. During the planning, Karen was mindful of and open to our requests, but was not afraid to provide us with her professional opinion. For example, we had requested two separate locations to shoot our wedding photos, but she recommended that we choose just one of them and provided us with reasons why she felt that way. It turned out to be a great decision, and the exact location she recommended was absolutely stunning. We had never been professionally photographed, so when we met for our engagement shoot we were a bit nervous. After a few simple pointers on how to be subjects, Karen had us relaxed and laughing. The engagement photos were both beautiful and creative, and that’s exactly why we initially hired her. We are Yankee fans living in Boston and we took photos in Yankee away-jerseys outside of Fenway Park. She brought along bags of peanuts and had us toss peanuts at her (gently, of course). It made for one of my favorite photos I’ve ever seen. Fast forward a couple years and our wedding photos were no different. We may be a bit biased, but my wife and I both believe that our wedding photos are the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. When shooting formals and portraits, she instructed us and our family/friends clearly and concisely. When shooting candids, ambiance and details, it was as if she was not even there. The angles and techniques she used and the backdrops she chose were both genius and completely original. Note that Karen was about 5 months pregnant while shooting our wedding and was still able to go above and beyond. Her work ethic is second to none. We met to see our wedding photos and both of us had tears in our eyes. Since we were naturally quite busy during our wedding, there were many things we were unable to see. Karen was able to capture intricate moments; personalities, emotion, reactions, that would have otherwise gone unnoticed and ultimately been forgotten. Thanks to Karen, we will be able to relive our perfect day forever. We purchased a black and white 8x10 engagement photo from Karen a while back as a gift for my parents, and it came out absolutely stunning. The print quality, with a slightly metallic lustre, was like no black and white photo we’d ever seen before. We have not yet ordered any additional products, but we will be selecting our photos for our albums soon, as well as choosing a few photos to get printed in a large size. Karen was able to provide everything we envisioned for our wedding, and then some. I would hire Karen to shoot our wedding a thousand times over, and I absolutely plan on hiring Karen to document all big moments throughout the rest of our lives.
Karen is so fun to work with! Her photography is incredible and truly captured the spirit and great moments of the whole wedding. We paid for a whole package that includes leather...
bound books, 12hr primary shooting time, and 8 hours with a second shooter, and found her prices very reasonable compared to other photographers in the area. We also get full access to an online catalog of all the photos including an engagement session, and can download images and print as we want. I will use Karen for all our photography needs!
Karen did an amazing job photographing our wedding! From our initial meeting to sending us a sneak peek only days after our wedding, Karen went above and beyond as a photographer. ...
Throughout the planning process, she made a point to really get to know us to ensure our photos were unique and representative of us. Karen did a great job taking a variety of photographs (i.e. details, getting ready, formal portraits, candids, etc.) and was laid-back yet organized throughout the wedding day. Karen was happy to work with our time frame of the day, and the shots came out beautifully. Her prices are extremely reasonable, and she even threw in an engagement photo session for free. If you are getting married in the Boston area, I would absolutely recommend contacting Karen!
Karen was incredible and our wedding photos are amazing. Beautiful images and she seemed to capture it all! The day of the wedding she was efficient and made taking photos fun. I c...
ouldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend Karen to anyone!
