It truly is difficult to put into words just how special our experience was with Kasey & her husband, Callum. To simply put it, Kasey will provide you with the uttermost kindness and patience when discussing the vision of how your special occasion will be captured. She will treat you as if you were a lifelong friend, and give you great advice if needed. She will document in the form of incredible photography, and provide you photos that will be nothing short of remarkable. She’ll capture those moments that you didn’t even know were occurring, and make you FEEL that you were a part of them. You will be transported to each instance of your special day and experience the way the sun felt on your skin, the way breeze blew you hair and just all of the emotion that surrounds one of the best days of your life. Worth every penny. Forever grateful to have our story documented by such a talented artist.
Xoxo, Em + Chris
From start to finish, working with Kasey was a DREAM! She got to know us and our relationship intimately so that every photo felt like it was telling the story of us and our day. She and Callum made everyone feel super comfortable and our video also came out AMAZING! I want to get married again just so we can shoot with Kasey and her team again!!
I reached out to Kasey close to a year after our wedding in hopes to capture some new photos in our wedding outfits. We wanted to have an anniversary photoshoot that felt more like us. Kasey made us feel calm, she was extremely intentional with posing, and totally understood where we were both coming from. She understood our goals from the jump and went above and beyond with her execution. I recommend her so much! If I could go back, I'd have her document everything from engagement, to wedding, to now.
When I say don't hesitate to book Kasey I mean it! From start to finish she was one of the most amazing vendors we worked with.
Her artistic style is incomparable and she focuses on the details. It was a joy to have her and Callum capture our day. We had a very intimate and laid back reception, not many frills and she still made our photos look spectacular. From ensuring we'd capture everything we wanted to being flexible with the timeline and navigating our family members she was a star.
I can't thank her enough!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Kasey, and I can't express how thrilled we are with the results! From our very first conversation, it was clear that she understood our vision and was genuinely excited to bring it to life.
Kasey took the time to discuss our ideas in detail, offering insightful suggestions that enhanced our original concept. Her professionalism and creativity made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. On the day of the shoot, she created a comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to relax and truly be ourselves. We spent HOURS on the beach making sure we made all of our visions from our mood board come to life and she NAILED IT!
The final photos are absolutely stunning! Each shot captures not only the essence of our vision but also the emotions of the moment. It’s clear that Kasey has an exceptional eye for detail and a unique artistic perspective.
If you’re looking for a photographer who can transform your ideas into beautiful imagery, I wholeheartedly recommend Kasey. We are so grateful for her talent and can’t wait to work together again in the future!
I reached out to Kasey with a request to capture some natural photos of my family this summer. I got so much more than that. Our photo session was an absolute dream. We had a 6 and 8 year old with us so I was a little nervous about how the evening would go but we had a BLAST! This felt more like family bonding than it did a photography session, in the best way possible. Kasey was amazing with my kids to the point where they asked if they could do this again! Looking at the pictures she took gives me so much joy and we will cherish them forever. The emotional connection she is able to capture through her photography is nothing short of magical. I cannot recommend Kasey enough, she truly made our session an evening my family will never forget.
Kasey and Callum were absolutely incredible and everything we could’ve wanted for our wedding day. I was really not looking forward to photography initially because I was afraid I would feel too posed and unnatural. We felt the opposite working with both Kasey and Callum. I came across Kasey’s work and immediately knew I wanted to work with her. She captured our wedding perfectly, and gave us pictures and memories that look like they came straight out of a movie. She made us feel comfortable and felt like a friend celebrating with us, not just someone hired to do a job. She made us feel special, beautiful, and went above and beyond to capture the big emotions and beauty of our day. Not only that, but she was willing to travel from the outer banks to Wilmington for us. I can’t even say how much we appreciated all of it and we’re beyond happy with the entire experience. Thank you Kasey and Callum!!!!
Kasey and Callum created pictures that were everything that we could've dreamed of and more on our wedding day!! Kasey has been so responsive, kind, & supportive since the moment we contacted her to shoot for our special day! Whether is was over email or zoom, you could tell she was genuinely interested and cared about our ideas and what we were hoping for and always was so helpful with her personal advice, even if it wasn't about the pictures themselves. Her style is so unique. She captured our entire day start to finish, with such a candid style, where every photo we could truly feel the emotion and nothing ever felt staged! We would highly recommend going with Kasey and Callum for any photography needs! Such genuine, kind souled people who will make you feel so comfortable the entire time being around them! We will definitely be looking to them in the future for any photography needs!
There are no words to describe Kasey’s art - it is the most incredible display of all of the emotions felt by the individuals she photographs.
We hired Kasey for our engagement photo shoot (August 2022) and our fusion Hindu- American wedding (April 2024) with an exceptionally challenging timeline and many intricate ceremony pieces. It was a completely new experience for her but she made every effort to be prepared and invested in depicting its beauty and she exceeded expectations. She was extremely communicative prior to the wedding and really listened to the concerns and priorities we expressed. Kasey really paid attention to our inspiration board and checked throughout the day to make sure she didn’t miss and important shots. She was organized through multiple outfit changes, a chaotic ceremony, and a treacherously windy afternoon/evening.
She does a wonderful job allowing emotional moments to flow naturally while still guiding you to make the shot the highest possible quality. Her team makes everyone feel comfortable and they make the whole thing FUN and low-pressure. Her husband, Callum, was our second shooter and he did a wonderful job connecting with the groom and groomsmen.
We love Kasey and we would use her again and again if we could. We look forward to future shoots with her ❤️
We originally booked Kasey to do our engagement photoshoot. About a month prior, my now husband and I decided we wanted to turn that time into our elopement instead. Kasey was WONDERFUL and so so helpful in helping us decide on location, timeline, and logistics. The entire evening was beautiful, magical, and so relaxed. I really can't imagine having this experience with any other photographer. It felt like we had known Kasey for years even though it was our first in person meeting.
When looking for a photographer to capture our wedding in the Outerbanks, we knew there was no one better than Kasey Powell. Her style of photography is exactly what we wanted to capture our special day.
My fiancé and I had the best experience shooting with Kasey. She made us feel so comfortable and really created the vision we were looking for. We had so much fun shooting with her and will always recommend her to others.
I do not even know where to begin. Kasey and Callum were every bit of what we were hoping for our wedding day. They made us feel comfortable and like we could just be ourselves through the entire process. They were early on the morning of and truly could not have been nicer. Our sneak peak photos were ready in less than 2 days.... incredible. Kasey Powell Weddings is worth every single penny and then some!!! We WILL be booking her in the future for other shoots. Any one that has the pleasure of working with them is truly lucky!
Kasey was incredible in all aspects of a professional photographer. Not only did the pictures turn out breath taking but she made us feel so comfortable and special for our pictures.
There are truly no words to describe the magic that is Kasey’s art. When we started our search for a photographer we found ourselves looking through portfolios of beautiful photos by different people smiling picturing our big day. Then we stumbled across Kasey and there were immediate chills while scrolling through her photos. We knew right then and there she was our only option. Her pictures are stunning, her vision is incredible, and then you meet her and just love everything even more. From the moment we met Kasey we felt comfortable. She has a way of making you feel like you have known her forever and she goes out of her way to make her shoots incredibly special. Kasey was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish and we could not recommend her more. We received our full album and the photos had a way of making us feel like we were right back at our wedding day. We are forever thankful for the way Kasey captured our moments so beautifully and our day would not have been the same without her. We could go on forever but just know, if you have a chance to be around Kasey, you are very lucky. She is truly one of a kind.
I literally cannot recommend Kasey enough!! Not only was the actual shoot amazing, she was so flexible, so professional and just so reassuring throughout the entire process. My fiancé and I were both nervous to have our pictures taken since neither of us feel very comfortable in front of a camera but Kasey knew exactly how to make us loosen up and then how to keep us having fun the entire time! As someone who doesn't always love the way I look in pictures, I was absolutely blown away by the sneak peek photos we got just 24 hours after our shoot. Not only did she capture the love my fiancé and I share for each other in such beautiful images, I genuinely have never felt more beautiful. I cannot wait to see the whole album!!
If you are still on the fence about booking Kasey for your engagement shoot, take this as your sign to book her ASAP!!
HERS-Kasey and her team are a dream to work with. Everything from start to finish was made easy by their professionalism and communication. When planning with Kasey, it felt like we were planning our wedding with an old dear friend, who truly wants the most perfect day for you and your partner, and then executes it perfectly. The day of our wedding, I didn't have to think about anything. Kasey and her team were on it to make sure we stayed on schedule, yet flexible to meet our requests, all while working to bring our dream day to life. We were sent an amazing teaser just three days after our wedding. They captured our day as artwork that uniquely represents us. I know these pictures will be pictures that we'll look back on and cherish forever.
HIS- WOW!!! Kasey and her team are a powerhouse to work with. The prep work leading up to our wedding day showed. We were asked for our preferable shots, our backstory, and our general picture of the day. This made us more comfortable on the day of our wedding and she delivered with poise. Her eye for what works best to capture the pure joy and bliss of being in the moment on our special day was art. As Kelly and I were focused on what was important, us, she directed our family and friends with the utmost respect and diligence. With a little help from mother nature Kasey was able to capture the most spectacular sunset photos in our wedding attire. As the night progressed we hardly noticed they were around but they still captured the love we have for each other with bombshell shots. We felt her passion to capture the moment through her craft of artistic ability in the teasers sent a few days after our marriage. If you want the highest quality of wedding photography we highly recommend you work with Kasey and her team.
We cannot say enough good things about Kasey and her crew! I was willing to move our wedding date in order to ensure Kasey was our photographer. It's not just her beautiful photographs, but her beautiful personality and understanding of the people she's photographing. She makes an effort to really get to know you, your family, and your vision for your day so that you're guaranteed to get everything you want. She made us comfortable in front of a camera, captured moments that I didn't even realize I wanted until I saw them, and was genuinely so fun to be around. Having her there makes you feel like you have another fun guest at your wedding that also happens to be taking pictures- and then they turn out AMAZING! We love Kasey and are so grateful to have had her be a part of our day.
The are Kasey create's is above and beyond. The quality of her work is unique and so special.
Kasey's overall experience sets up your day of to be flawless. She takes the time to get to know you and understand your vision. She is eager to create with you and the results are incredible.
On the day of my wedding, she showed up and felt like a friend I've known forever. She's able to capture images that tell your story in such a captivating and unique way. Her art captures the emotions, movement, lightning, and all the feels of your special moments.
I would recommend Kasey over and over again, working with her is a dream!
When we decided to have a destination wedding in the Outer Banks, we knew that we would have to find a great photographer to capture our wedding at the beach. After doing some initial research, Kasey immediately stood out. We loved her style, types of imagery, and overall approach to capturing a wedding. What really stood out to us was Kasey's professionalism, passion for what she does, and relationship building with us. Before even hiring Kasey, she had a Zoom call with us, got to know us, and really took the time to listen to what we wanted, explained her approach to her work, and we could tell that she really cared about us. We actually had an initial date picked out for our wedding, but once we found out that Kasey was booked that day, we moved our ceremony up a day just so that she was available. This was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we are so happy we did!! Having Kasey and Calum photograph and document our day is something we will be forever thankful for. Her work was absolutely perfect and we could not be more in love with the photos she took! From the very beginning, all the way up until our big day, Kasey was responsive, professional, kind, and her love for what she does really showed through. Through her questionnaires and check-in calls, we were always kept up to date and we created our idea shot list and photography needs. This entire process for us was absolutely stress-free, which is so valuable in the wedding planning process. Kasey and Calum captured the true emotion of our day and their work was exactly what we imagined and pictured! Our family and friends have seen some of the sneak peak photos already and an exact quote was "these are the best wedding pictures I have ever seen." That is no understatement and we could not agree more! When you hire Kasey, it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding. Kasey and Calum truly care about what they do, make the entire process stress-free and empower you to be yourself, enjoy your day, and capture the pure joy and emotion from your wedding day. Her work is amazing and on top of it all, she and Calum are just great people. We could not recommend them more and Kasey will be on speed-dial for any of our future photography needs in the Carolinas. Thank you so much to Kasey and Calum for your work, time, and skill, you helped make our day and its memory very special!
I truly cannot say enough. Kasey & her partner were nothing short of amazing. I had a CRAZY sneak peek in 48 hours and truthfully that could’ve been enough. Then I get the album a few weeks later and I’m blown away. They captured every moment. Moments I didn’t even see! And I felt like I was revisiting my entire wedding from start to finish. If you’re considering other photography options- don’t. Stop here. Kasey is a literal dream that will make your wedding or any event come to life. I am still in awe.
My fiancé and I worked with Kasey for an engagement shoot on the Outer Banks. She was amazing from the start, helped us pick locations that felt like us prior to our shoot day and was available the entire time leading up to our shoot. She made us feel at ease the entire shoot which made the experience so so fun and it honestly flew by because we felt so comfortable. The photos came out so amazing. I can not recommend Kasey enough! Working with her was a dream!
Words can’t describe the kind of feeling you get when you see yourself in Kasey’s work for the first time! Her photography transported us back to the happiest and most magical day of our lives. The sneak peak we viewed and shared with our families had us laughing and crying together, even days after our wedding.
My Husband and I stumbled on Kasey Powell Weddings when researching photographers for our wedding in the Outer Banks. Upon searching for a photographer, we saw many traditional photographers with lots of posing. As soon as we saw Kasey’s candid style and pure talent, we knew we wanted her to be the one to capture our special day.
From start to finish, Kasey answered all of our questions and helped us with things we would have never thought to ask. Her experience and knowledge is absolutely priceless and she eased any nerves we had. She is extremely organized and knows exactly how to navigate making your dream come to life! (Even down to what may seem like small details such as playing your favorite music, dancing around in the sand during candids with your new Husband🤍)
Kasey far exceeded any expectation we had for our wedding day! They both arrived with the most positive and fun energy which is so contagious! My family is not the biggest “picture people” and they RAVED about her and her Husband, Callum. There were times during the ceremony, my family didn’t even realize they were there because of how amazing their special awareness is. This may not seem like a big deal but is something I can imagine has taken them a long time to master! They kept us on time without making anyone feel rushed. My Husband and I felt so comfortable and truly loved by Kasey and Callum! 🤍
In summary, the art they create is an investment you won’t regret! If you are looking for a sign to book with Kasey Powell Weddings, this is it! You will be so happy you did!
When looking for wedding photographers i found Kasey the moment i looked at her work and instagram page i knew she had to be the one to photograph our wedding her work really stood out to us! All her pictures look like they are straight out of a movie or a magazine! From the first voom call to the last kasey was amazing helping us create a time line that worked for us and asking all the right questions to make sure things ran smoothly! When the big day came kasey just got to work and did her thing managing around all the craziness that was going on! She knew all the right lighting and wasn’t scared to move a tv out of the room! She caught such raw and deep moments! Everyone at our wedding gave us so many compliments on way your photographer and her partner are so nice and really looked like they knew exactly what they were doing! Our sunset photo came out amazing she really captured all of our emotions and the pictures are AMAZING! I was so sad when she left and can’t wait to come back when it’s time for more pictures!
Kasey's passion and talent for what she does is evident from the very first moment you talk with her. She genuinely wants to get to know you and tailor your photos to who you and your partner are, your love story, your families, whatever is important to you, she will get to the root of it (even if you're not 100% what it is, she figures it out) and then capture it for you. She is an artist and one of the many reasons I chose her was her ability to make your wedding look like timeless art that I know we will hang in our home forever (Because of this talent, I think it sometimes gets over-looked and I want to acknowledge that she is also incredible at capturing your standard smile at the camera family wedding shots as well).
My mom was blown away by her ability to wrangle our friends in family so easily and she said to me the day after our wedding that when Kasey said to "stand next to whomever or wherever feels most comfortable", she was blown away. Kasey makes you so comfortable to just be in the moment and enjoy your day without feeling like your whole day was posing for photos, but at the same time, captures your day in a way that brings back the emotion of the day every time you look at the photos.
She is willing to go out of her comfort zone if it means capturing you and your partner's essence. I told Kasey I wanted to do editorial style getting ready photos and I didn't really go into much more detail. I meant to send her some inspo photos, but I honestly got overwhelmed and forgot. I brought a few props, she showed up with an entire backdrop set up and when I was finished my make-up I turned around to see a whole photo shoot set that was so "me", I couldn't believe it. Some of that was planned, but so much of Kasey's talent is her spontaneous creativity in the moment, which is so invaluable on a day where even the best laid plans need to change. Not to mention having her (and Callum) around the whole day is just the best addition to you and your family. If you want to be present and enjoy your day and have the most beautiful, personalized photos to show for it, Kasey is your girl.
When I say Kasey made this experience so comfortable and fun, I mean it! Her personality is so easy-going and relaxed it makes it impossible to be nervous or awkward. With this being our first time doing a photoshoot we didn't know what to expect, but she made it such a fun, memorable night! We couldn't stop laughing and smiling throughout the night and after the shoot. Kasey prompted us with questions that allowed us to just be conversational with each other and be how we normally would around each other. There was no forcing poses or anything like that. Honestly, she makes me want to do couples shoots more often😂. Couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who wants beautiful, natural, candid moments captured with their love!
Kasey made our perfect day even more perfect. My wife and I have a somewhat interesting story, so we wanted something extremely special from the beginning. At our first meeting with Kasey, it felt like she knew exactly what we were looking for and that she appreciated our unconventional story. Fast forward to the day of, we had already planned for moody shots rather than a perfect sunset with the impending tropical storm, and so did Kasey, but we showed up to the perfect Outer Banks sky with the perfect sunset. Kasey quickly got us comfortable with getting photographed and created a perfectly intimate photo session for myself and my wife. Looking at the sneak-peak of our photos, they were far beyond what we ever expected for this day. Would absolutely recommend time and time again. Thanks Kasey for making our day spectacular!
Kasey Powell is unlike any wedding photographer you will ever find. She is a gifted artist who will completely captures all the emotions and beauty of your day. Her photographs are magical and I cry every time I look at my daughter's pictures. Kacey has a very candid approach. Your wedding day will flow as it if she is not even there...and then your photos arrive and it’s like you are back in that moment, feeling all the love and happiness all over again!
Kasey's exceptional talent, genuine kindness, and unwavering dedication made her a standout at our wedding. Her precise artistry left us in awe. From our first meeting, it was clear she was the perfect choice to capture our special day.
Her attention to detail and creative eye resulted in cherished photographs, each one telling a story and evoking emotions that transport us back to that magical day. Kasey's warm demeanor created a comfortable atmosphere, allowing for natural moments to shine.
We are forever grateful to Kasey for her exceptional work. She not only met our expectations but surpassed them, becoming an invaluable part of our day. We wholeheartedly recommend Kasey to anyone in search of a photographer who not only produces outstanding results but also brings a genuine and kind-hearted presence to the experience. Kasey is truly a gem in the world of photography.
Kasey is truly one of a kind and an amazing soul. She helped to make our special day perfect. Her art is second to none and her eye is impeccable. Portraits and photos can be a drag but Kasey makes the entire experience comfortable and fun. You can literally feel the emotion and love in these photos. There are so many options when it comes to wedding photography and with Kasey you not only get beautiful photos, but an experience. It’s clear that she loves what she does and it shows.
We cannot recommend Kasey enough as a wedding photographer! My husband and I really wanted a photographer who was going to capture our natural emotions and the energy of the day rather than just purely posed pictures. As soon as Kasey arrived, she felt like another friend and we felt so comfortable around her which was really important to us. We just got our full album back the other day and they are AMAZING! We can't thank her enough!
Let me start by saying Kasey was incredible! She photographed our wedding in June with her partner Callum, and to say the least the duo captured some of the BEST moments of our special day. Kasey has her process down, TRUST it! We both were happy to have them part of our special day and would recommend Kasey to anyone. Some of our vulnerable, happy tear moments were taken at Jockey's Ridge where Kasey played our favorite tunes and encouraged us to slow down and live in the moment. It was truly magical and still fills our hearts when reminiscing on that special day.
We enjoyed our experience with Kasey Powell Weddings. My partner and I eloped to the Outer Banks and we don't regret our decision. The communication with her from the beginning was awesome. She answered any questions we had and basically laid out the timeline of our evening that worked for us. It was just an easy process when you are 8+ hours from home.
She was patient and very in tune with us in the short time when spent with her. In the end, she created these beautiful photographs for us to have forever. A special day/evening in our lives that will always be sacred to us. Kasey captured our love story in still time.. just perfectly.
10/10!
My fiancee Emily found Kasey on IG and immediately fell in love with the artistry and creative vision that Kasey puts into her shoots. From the onset of our first call, Kasey made us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited. Neither of us had been part of a professional shoot before so we truly weren't sure what to expect. Over the course of our conversations, we decided that while Emily and I knew we wanted photos, we weren't entirely sure of the direction or vision we had. We put full trust in Kasey to art direct, stylize, and imagine what an ideal shoot would look like for her. What we began with was high concept and frankly, for me, a bit intimidating. What we ended with is nothing short of wonderful and everything I could've never imagined for myself. As the title of this review says, I truly have never felt cooler in my entire life than with Kasey directing Emily and I throughout our photoshoot. We shot in public, with loads of people around us, and she helped us shed the awkwardness and anxiety that can come with being on such a public display. She prompted us to talk about memories, moments, each other, our love, secrets, and more to really help bring energy into each moment. She had mentioned to us that when we saw the photos we'd reflect on the conversations she had prompted us with and I can confidently confirm that to be true. Kasey and her team made us feel like models and I'm truly thankful for her energy, charisma, and passion for making Emily and I feel incredible.
The photos she took speak for themselves and I know that I will appreciate these for the rest of my life. If you're considering hiring Kasey, stop thinking and go for it. You will simply have an incredible experience.
My new husband and I knew we wanted to have Kasey as our photographer when we first saw her Instagram and all of the amazing photos she had taken. We didn’t know how lucky we actually were until we signed the contract with her. Every step of the way she was so detailed and made sure we were both comfortable. Leading up to the wedding we even had random questions like if she knew any spray tan artists in OBX and she had a name ready for us. The day of the wedding could not have been better. She was able to capture all of these perfect, authentic moments that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It never felt like her or her assistant were ever in the way and even at times I didn’t realize how many moments she had captured until we saw our photos. As to the photos, they were absolutely breathtaking and everything we ever wanted. I love ever single one of them and honestly I want to hire Kasey for every other major moment in our lives. You cannot go wrong by having her as a photographer on your special day.
Kasey and her partner Callum were absolutely wonderful. Her candid images makes you forget that she’s there, and the photos she produces from that are incredible 😍
She was so lovely and I couldn’t recommend her enough for your big day or any occasion.
Kasey was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! She truly has a passion for her career and it shows with the time and dedication she puts into the entire process.
Kasey saw our vision of a beautiful OBX wedding and brought it to life. She captured all the details and we’ll be able to cherish and remember this day forever.
We highly recommend Kasey and her team!
We can't say enough about Kasey’s talent and passion. It shows on the day of the wedding and in the photos. My husband and I had to stop watching the sneak peek video she sent us because we were at a restaurant and started balling Lol!!! Her work is A-FRIKKIN-MAZING. My husband hesitated (when he was still the fiancé lol) but in the end he feels it’s the best money we spent and has brought him to tears every time we look at the pics! AND ITS JUST THE SNEAK PEEK!!! Our family members that are engaged want to have her for their weddings and they're in another state. The day of the wedding was also amazing, she's like an insta-friend lol it felt like her and Callum were guests! We love her and Callum they were both unbelievably talented, and down to earth. All of our guestsu felt the same way. They are by faaaaaaaar the best of the best!!!
Kasey is INCREDIBLE. From our engagement pictures, to our wedding day she made us feel so comfortable in front of a camera. She genuinely takes the time to get to know her couples on a deeper level and puts 100% into her art. I swear it felt like hanging out with a friend all day. and THEN we received our sneak peak (very quickly) and were absolutely blown away. She captures love and emotion not only of us, but also all of our guests. I could not imagine any other photographer and would recommend her to every single bride/couple.
After looking through Kasey’s website I knew immediately that I needed her for my wedding. She was the first vendor I booked and I couldn’t be any happier. My husband and I don’t have many photos together because we are a bit awkward when trying to pose for a photo. Kasey is able to capture the special moments that speak to our relationship and our deep love for each other. Working with Kasey put us at total ease that we totally forgot she was there. She gave us amazing prompts to talk about that helped us relax and also helped us reflect on our wedding and our love for each other. I couldn’t have imagined my photos would come out so gorgeous and perfect. My wedding day couldn’t have been any better and Kasey captured all of it. I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her!!
I am having a hard time putting into words what Kasey meant to us on our wedding day. Just book her. Kasey was not just our photographer on our wedding day and leading up - she was our trusted friend, confidante, sometimes therapist, assistant, and more all wrapped into one. Not to mention her talent and artistry is literally unmatched. I was crying looking through our album and watching our video. The art she made for us to encapsulate the most important & beautiful day of our lives is truly the greatest gift and the best investment we could have made, by far. It gave us the precious gift of being able to go back and relive our wedding day and the emotions of it over and over again for our whole lives. The coolest part was seeing our love and the emotion of the day from a 3rd party point of view, in Kasey’s one of a kind, magical, ethereal, emotional, artistic style. Looking through her album felt like watching our love through the eyes of our closest loved ones. It was very emotional to see how our dearest friends and family experienced our day. It is true what they say that the day goes by in a blur and you’re just trying to soak it all in and be present, which is why Kasey’s photos are the greatest gift because we can truly relive it time and time again. Her work was beyond our wildest dreams and she perfectly captured our fairytale fall day. We will cherish the photos and video for our whole lives and pass it down to future kids and grandkids. She truly listens to what you want the essence of your day to be (for us it was connected with nature and the emotion and connection of us and our loved ones) and makes sure to capture exactly that. She even scouted out our first look spot in a patch of wild mushrooms under a canopy of fairytale trees. I trusted her completely and didn’t have to think twice or worry about anything that day. She even asked us some thought provoking questions and played a song that meant a lot to us as a couple to help us really connect on camera. She knew I loved renaissance art and crystals (I never asked her to incorporate these) but she brought pages of a renaissance art book and asked if I had any crystals I could put in my details shot. Everything she does is above and beyond and done with so much care, love, and intention. She was so invested in making our day perfectly beautiful and authentic to us. I could go on forever about all the things we loved about her - don’t think twice, just book her! We love you Kasey and Callum!
Kasey did our engagement photos and I can’t stop staring at them. She is so genuine in every picture she takes and makes you feel completely comfortable. Her eye for catching the perfect light and perfect shot is unmatched. She quite literally left me speechless after we got out pictures back. You can feel the emotion behind her pictures and it speaks volumes. I am absolutely obsessed with her pictures and the way she connects with her clients while she takes them. I’m so thankful we booked with her and can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding!!!
Kasey Powell and her partner went above and beyond in capturing our wedding photos. Kasey worked with us for months before the wedding, with Zoom calls to discuss what we wanted and set expectations. She sent forms to get to know us better and to make sure she got every single photo that mattered to us. Then, on the day of the wedding, she and her photography partner arrived early and stayed late. We felt that they were so friendly and fun, but also very professional, and that they cared a LOT about making our photos unforgettable. We have since gotten our "sneak peak" photos (which she sent just a couple of days after the wedding in a shareable link!) and OH MY GOSH. They are better than we could have ever hoped for; just spectacular. Kasey gets the focus absolutely perfect in every shot and she excels at the candid shots. We are so impressed and so so happy with her work and we cannot wait to see the rest of our photos!! I cannot recommend Kasey Powell enough - she will work so hard and capture beautiful artwork for you to enjoy for a lifetime.
Having Kasey as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She was a ray of sunlight the moment we met and I knew her energy was going to be a perfect fit for our wedding day. I had people coming up to me throughout the night of our wedding telling me how lovely Kasey was and that was such a nice feeling to know that they saw what I did too! She delivered a sneak peak within a few days of the wedding which was such a nice touch and the photos were STUNNING. Her eye for artistic images has given us so many tangible memories to frame and share with friends. Thank you Kasey!
Beyond her incredible talent, Kasey was so easy and fun to work with. She captures raw emotion and moments with her photography so well that when you look back at them, you are transported back to that special time. Our engagement and wedding shoots were a time for us as a couple to really connect and enjoy each other as Kasey worked her magic. She went over and above with helping us make decisions in other aspects of our wedding like giving us the best catering recommendation and fine-tuning a perfect, stress free wedding timeline. Our families and guests had the nicest things to say about Kasey and her team, they really just added to the joy and fun of the day. Our photos are absolutely stunning and exactly what we hoped for. No one captures an Outer Banks sunset like Kasey! Thank you for everything :)

I genuinely do not even know how to put into words what Kasey did for us on our wedding day. She was with me every step of the day and truly looked out for me like a friend rather than just a vendor. She partied with us, she was friendly and kind to all of the guests, her and Cal worked AMAZING together offering us shots that we loved but didn't even know we needed or wanted, and she truly produces outstanding photos and her art mindset is astounding. I would hire Kasey again over and over. I recieved my wedding sneak peeks and sobbed at how beautifully the portraits were captured.. but Kasey also has a way of truly capturing the emotion of every moment. We love her and would recommend her to ANYONE! <3 <3
Kasey is an absolute light. If you are a laid-back couple that is looking for all of the candid moments captured, you want Kasey. Her instincts are spot on and she really focuses on figuring out the connections not just between you as a couple but also family dynamics. Besides her usual work grabbing amazing candids and portraits of us, we requested that Kasey shoot some comical staged vintage style cabinet card photos that were 1920s esq and baby, which she delivered. Kasey is fun, talented, professional, and badass.
Kasey is a dream to work with! We booked her to shoot our 15th wedding anniversary pictures while we were celebrating on vacation in OBX. Our shoot was scheduled while a nor’easter made its way through the islands after Hurricane Ian. She was flexible with our session and supportive of however we wanted to move forward given the weather and our vision for our photos. We decided that we wanted to capture the uniqueness of Mother Nature — the dramatic ocean, the moody sky, the wind-blown landscape — as she truly was on our anniversary and, by looking at her work, we were confident that Kasey would deliver epic shots to commemorate our milestone. She delivered! We love our photos — they perfectly capture our vision of being candid and show our love for each other, nature, and exploring. We especially appreciated how Kasey made our session an experience and prompted us to recount our memories and the lessons we’ve learned from each other during our marriage while she captured it all through her eyes and camera lens. We hope to shoot with Kasey again in the future!
I don't think I can put into words how instrumental Kasey was in making our wedding day everything that it was, but I'll try. Kasey is a visionary, truly living out her life's purpose in a professional sense. She goes beyond being a photographer to a story teller and art creator, by encouraging you to connect and reconnect with your significant other over and over again (because there's never too much love). To focusing on what's most important throughout your wedding planning process to what matters on the actual day, Kasey has it covered. Photography is such a critical piece of your wedding budget, and Kasey is worth every penny and then some.
Photos are frozen moments in time from a magical day in our lives, but Kasey doesn't just capture pictures of what happens on your wedding day – she tells your stories through the lens. She fosters emotions and rawness and feelings. Her realness and genuineness and the heart she wears on her sleeve are contagious and showcased through the albums she shares with you. I remember people saying on our wedding day, "I can't wait to see those pictures we took!" And I said, "I can't wait to see the pictures I didn't know Kasey was taking...those are always my favorites." Our wedding day was hit with hurricane rains and winds, but I still knew our pictures would be stunning. And they are. Nothing can shake Kasey Powell.
When you approach your wedding day and don't need to worry about how you, your loved ones, and your stories are captured beautifully, it is priceless. Kasey is everything. Don't even consider someone else!
P.S. – We moved our wedding date to the Friday before so Kasey was available. 100% worth it.
We hired Kasey for a family session while we were vacationing in the Outer Banks. It's hard to get 10 adults and three kids (age 1 - 6) up for a sunrise photoshoot, but it was SO worth it! Kasey made everyone feel comfortable, happy, and at ease throughout the entire photoshoot. We were able to be our normal selves and she captured our family dynamic perfectly. Our photos are amazing, and we will cherish them forever. We want to hire her every year! Thanks, Kasey!
All I have to say is WOW!
Kasey and her second shooter Callum were simply amazing. They were absolutely great to work with and communication was easy. The whole process from start to finish was a magical experience. Her work is so elegant and timeless . At times it felt like it was just me and my (now husband) -it felt like it was just us two present living in the moment and she captured everything. Every raw , pure , moment & emotion. I can’t say enough about her work.
Kasey was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely work with her again in the future!

Kasey is one of the most personable and visionary artists I’ve met!! The moment we spoke, I could sense her attention to detail and dedication to creating the best day and memories possible for two people. Her knowledge of weddings and photography is immediately apparent, and she continues to impress you!! Her heart is apparent in EVERY shot. She makes a point to make you feel comfortable, has endless ideas, and takes the time to truly check in and listen to the couple. I know we could not be in better hands. So looking forward to the big day knowing she’ll be by our side!!!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – KASEY is magic!
You know that really awesome friend that you have who just makes the world a better place no matter what? Well, that is Kasey Powell. She is truly a gem and the kindest soul you’ll ever meet! What’s even better? She is by far the most talented photographer that has ever existed, and she makes literal art out of your wedding pictures!
We really can’t sing enough praises about Kasey, her work ethic, genuineness, charming personality, and true love for her job. If I could shout from the mountaintops, I would :-) In all honesty, she is just so personable that you feel like you know her as soon as you meet. We had a few Zoom calls with her prior to heading to Corolla, but my groom and I met Kasey in person for a sunrise beach shoot the day before the wedding down at the Oregon Inlet Life Saving Station. Luckily, we had the most perfect weather, but Kasey was prepared for anything (even checking the weather radar at 5:00am before we were supposed to meet her down there). She captured some of the sweetest, most intimate moments for us – as if we were the only ones running around the dunes that morning. Highly recommend getting a small shoot ahead of the big day if there are any nerves - she puts you at ease and it is just so much fun! You get to run around, with the love of your life, and not have all of the eyes of wedding guests on you. Plus, who doesn’t want to sneak away with their “person” before the “I do”??
The wedding day – I don’t even know where to begin! Let’s go back to having that really good friend that makes the world a better place – invite Kasey to anything, in any environment, with anyone around, and you will never be disappointed. After having met her the day before, I could not wait for her to arrive for the wedding day!!! She had a second shooter with her, which was amazing because we had the groom getting ready at another house with his family. They both blended so effortlessly into the family dynamics and atmosphere. They were able to capture some of the most loving and raw pictures that happen throughout the wedding day. Kasey provided such a calmness and warmth on our wedding day, like she was just meant to be there. We are not hugely religious but do believe God put Kasey on this planet to make art and spread love and kindness. She will quickly become your friend and her passion will forever remain in your hearts. Kasey is just the most incredible person, and you need her in your life – I promise!
You will not regret going with Kasey! She has the sweetest soul. Not only is she a photographer she’s a great therapist when everything goes wrong on your wedding day! We ended up having a hurricane & Kasey was still able to capture the most spectacular moments with some badass pictures! I can’t thank you enough!!
Loved working with Kasey, our photos are amazing and the whole experience was super positive. We felt very comfortable with her and it honestly just felt like hanging out with a friend. I almost forgot she was taking photos at times. Once we got our photos back, I was blown away with all that she was able to capture. I will forever cherish these photos and now want to get them done every year!
I am so thankful for the experience of having Kasey as our wedding photographer. Since the wedding my family and I have not stopped talking about what an amazing job she did. Her photos speak for themselves, and I knew I wanted to hire her when I stumbled across her instagram, but I had no idea how my expectations would be blown away. She was so kind and easy to work with during the planning process, and her advice and insight was invaluable. She was so organized and took notes on everything I wanted, and her ability to see the vibe and aesthetic that I was going for, and then adapt and capture it, is a skill that I haven't seen from other photographers. While the photos she delivered are true to her, they are exactly the style I had dreamed of. She captured the very best of all of our guests, and I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life. Aside from the pictures being incredible, Kasey has the warmest, most well rounded personality and felt like an old friend at my wedding, and that is part of her gift. Her and her partner jumped in to help with things outside of their jobs to make sure our day was perfect. Looking forward to the next wedding in my family so that we could hopefully cross paths again.
There aren’t enough words to accurately describe what an amazing experience we had with Kasey. From the very first phone call she put us at ease. She helped give great recommendations throughout the planning process but always made sure she reminded us it was going to be what we wanted.
We were lucky enough to be able to book Kasey the day before our wedding to capture shots of our families hanging out on the beach. She fit in so naturally and was able to capture candid shots we will treasure forever.
By the next day when Kasey and Callum showed up to shoot the wedding it was like they were old friends. Kasey’s vibe just naturally put us at ease but her thoughtfulness of creating a playlist of songs she thought we’d like was the perfect touch. Nothing felt staged, nothing felt awkward, we were able to just have fun and Kasey did her thing.
When we got sneak peeks back the next day (yesss the next day!) we were blown away. We knew she was good, we knew we loved her as a person, but the art she created was just incredible. Our family and friends that attended the wedding from all over the country cannot stop talking about the fact that she is the best photographer they have ever seen.
Kasey Powell is amazing, all around. Kasey was one of the wedding photographers recommended to us by our venue on Ocracoke, The Berkley Manor. I am so happy we chose her, she is fantastic to work with. When I first looked through her Instagram portfolio, I fell in LOVE with the style, look, and feel of her photography approach, and her focus on candid photos and authentic shots, in particular. During the planning process, Kasey was so organized, responsive, and personable, and it's clear that she is so sincerely invested in her work and in capturing the beauty and sentiment of such a special occasion. The photos we've seen so far of our Big Day are INCREDIBLE. 5-star review all around. Working with Kasey was a dream!
Kasey was very professional and had an amazing personality! She made it so much fun and had such a good vision for certain pictures. She captured such beautiful moments and gave us a sneak peak of the photos so fast! Would highly recommend. So grateful She was our photographer!!
Kasey was the best! Laid back but super professional at the same time. We had a blast with her! She just wants to make sure you have the best pictures ever! The zooms and forms she has you do and fill out are great to help you get to know each other so you’re not complete strangers on the day of the photos. We are over the moon with the results of the images we have gotten back from her so far with the sneak peek!Also we had the sneak peek in just over24hrs! 10/10 would recommend!
Kasey is the BEST there is. She goes above and beyond to ensure you have a perfect day. She is professional, kind, and unbelievably talented. We truly cannot recommend her enough.
We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Kasey was so easy to work with! She was laid back, professional, and brought a sense of calm to the day. We gave her specific shots and she captured every single one and made them better than I had imagined. Kasey captured the emotions and real time events of the day. All of our pictures feel and look natural. Even the “posed” pictures look like real moments. Kasey connected so quickly with both of our families. To the point where both of our sisters (who live in Iowa and Chicago) have already said they want Kasey to do their weddings. I truly don’t believe there are words to describe how amazing Kasey has been. Kasey felt like family at the end of the day. She can instantly read a room, and quickly connect with everyone she interacts with. She made us feel so comfortable. Never just said “okay look at each other and laugh” she encouraged natural conversation that then turned into genuine photos. Kasey has a true talent not just for photography but for making people feel calm in what can often be an overwhelming day. Not only is Kasey beyond personable and professional but her talent for photography is unmatched! We were blown away by our pictures and her artistic approach. You won’t find someone more caring, talented, or professional as Kasey Powell!
Kasey’s photographs tell your story so vibrantly and authentically, that when you look at them, you are completely immersed in that moment. They have an effortless, honest beauty to them that perfectly captures the emotions of the day. Her versatility provides you with all of the standard “wedding” photographs, but also powerful candid moments and stunning pieces of art. Kasey knows how to lead people into having genuine, heartfelt moments that eliminates the awkwardness of posed photographs and allow everyone’s personalities to radiate through. The weather the day of my wedding was not ideal (upper 40’s, pouring down rain with 50 MPH wind gusts) so we were forced to change all of our plans and get married inside surrounded by furniture we were unable to move and super beachy house décor. We worried the quality of the photographs would suffer and with most photographers it would have, but not with Kasey! She even brought a change of clothes and got into the debris filled, turbulent ocean with us to capture epic, moody photographs! One of my vendors called me two days after my wedding just to tell me she had seen my photographs and they were art. Kasey knew there were couple shots we had wanted from the golden hour that just wouldn’t be possible on our wedding day and graciously offered to split our time to another day. Each day we played it by ear to determine if we would have enough sun to make it happen. When we finally thought we had a day with a sunset, a sudden storm appeared, we switched locations to try and beat the storm and although it looked like we would only have 15 minutes to shoot, Kasey was determined to make that happen and she delivered! She managed to capture some of the only sunny moments of the entire week and made it look as if had been like that the whole evening. Her drone shots are breath taking! Kasey was able to turn a worst case scenario into a best case scenario, never once showed any stress from the challenges and exuded positive vibes which allowed me to remain calm. Not only does Kasey take amazing photos but she is genuinely your support system through the entire process. She makes you feel comfortable like a long-time friend and blends seamlessly into your wedding, going above and beyond her role as a photographer. Kasey provided expert advice that helped me plan difficult parts of my wedding (like the timeline) and went above and beyond her role as a photographer the day of to make sure things were done the way I wanted them to be, even carrying out surprises for my fiancé and father. She helped Mike and I recreate photographs from my parents wedding (my mother passed away when I was younger) so accurately my father was moved to tears. When someone asks to see our wedding photos, we struggle to find a few to show them and instead just bombard them because all of our photos are amazing and unique. Immediately after arriving home, we hung up wedding photos because we were obsessed with them. Mike and I regularly watch the sneak peek slideshow she sent the day after our wedding and it brings tears to our eyes every time and it has been “screened” at multiple venues. We will find other excuses to work with Kasey in the future because she perfectly captured our wedding!
To: Any Parties Potentially Interested in Kasey Powell Photography
From: An Extremely Satisfied Couple
From inception to execution, Kasey Powell was an absolute pleasure to work with while taking our engagement photos this past July [spoiler alert: post shoot, we immediately booked her for our wedding as well!].
On the front end, we knew immediately she would be right for us based on her professionalism, knowledge, communication, and comfortability. After our first conversation, we both agreed that it had felt like we had known her for years, though we had only recently found her on Instagram.
Leading up to the day of the shoot, Kasey was consistently responsive and on top of everything we threw at her (questions, ideas, outfits, etc.), which helped us feel greatly at ease amongst everything else we have been juggling for our wedding.
Day of was an absolute blast. Everything about it felt so genuine and natural, that even with bystanders in the background, we hadn't a care in the world. Kasey really knows how to engage her clients in meaningful, emotional conversations mid-shoot that reap the best of candid and posed photos.
Post-shoot, Kasey was unbelievably quick to send us over a sneak peek to show us the amazing work she had done (allowing us to jump start on our save-the-dates :)). Top-notch is an understatement of the quality we found in her photos, especially for someone as naturally un-photogenic as me.
All in all, we cannot thank Kasey enough for all her help and want anyone to know that if you are looking for an amazing photographer, you should look no further!
Kasey impressed with her professionalism and personality: she was genuinely interested in us and our story, and her art clearly reflects this - natural emotional pictures, no artificial stiltedness
Words cannot describe how amazing Kasey and her team are. When I met her over two years ago in the Outer Banks, I knew I wanted her to capture our day. She is the most genuine, fun, and spontaneous person and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are both a bit camera shy and tend to feel a little awkward when taking pictures…but Kasey worked her magic and led us in the right direction to get the perfect shot. She will be your bff on your wedding day and do everything she can to make sure your day goes exactly how you envision it. She was nothing but amazing and we can’t recommend her enough. She will be a friend for life☺️❤️
Kasey is a dream to work with! She is knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel so comfortable during our shoot! She was also a blast!! She captures movement and light so well and would recommend her to anyone! Our engagement pictures turned better than I could have imagined!
Kasey is such a gem and beyond fantastic at her craft! She has such a keen eye and will go above and beyond to capture the perfect shot. Our wedding was in the Outer Banks and her knowledge of the local area was such an added bonus: where/when to shoot to get the perfect lighting and how to avoid the crowds! Kasey is an incredible artist and an all around amazing human being.. She's the literal best! We can't recommend her enough!
We can’t say enough positive things about Kasey. Her enthusiastic energy is contagious. She makes everyone feel so comfortable. She’s able to take photos of the most precious moments and you don’t even realize she is there. My husband and I were able to see such beauty in ourselves and loved ones through her eyes. She jumps right in the moment with you, whether it’s literally diving into the water or capturing an emotion. Kasey was so easy to connect with and plan with before the events. She took time to get to know us personally. She is organized and well prepared. Hiring Kasey was the best decision I made for my event. I hope to work with her in the future
Working with Kasey was easily one of the best choices my fiance and I have made during our wedding planning journey. From start to finish, Kasey was professional, very helpful, and fun! Her website is an excellent representation of her amazing work. Not only did we get our sneak peaks quickly, we also got our entire album much sooner than we expected and the photos are STUNNING.
Kasey is a one of a kind extremely talented photographer. She took the time to get to know my fiancé and I months prior to our wedding so that she could capture the most personal and intimate photos that told our story and boy did she deliver! She took the time to check in with us and reassure us that we were in great hands. Our sneak peek pictures were absolutely breathtaking and we cannot wait to see the full album and share it with our loved ones. Kasey’s candid photos painted a beautiful collage of our personalities and history and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her to capture one of the best days of our lives.
If you want someone who’s invested in learning and telling your love story, someone who makes you and your awkward fiancé feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, someone who’s grown up in the area and knows the best photo spots like the back of her hand, go with Kasey! My fiancé and I worked hard in incorporating some of our own culture into our wedding and Kasey was beyond respectful and enthusiastic about it. I’ve reached out to multiple photographers at the outer banks area and none were more enthused to tell our story. Over the course of wedding planning, Kasey had multiple catch up sessions when she worked hard to understand our background and it came across easily in her photos. Not to mention her sneak peak turn around time is unbelievably fast - literally got photos 2-3 days after the event. Not to mention, her photos are beyond anything I could have dreamed of.
Working with Kasey was an absolute blast! She got to know my husband and me on a deeper level to capture our true love for one another and our families for our wedding photos. I've only seen our sneak peek photos but can already tell I will be sharing pictures for the rest of my life. I could not recommend this talented human enough!!!!
