My (now) husband and I could not be more ecstatic and impressed by Kelsey. We found her by chance through some Instagram 'stalking.' I personally loved her style and the beauty of the work she does. Additionally, I loved how diverse her clientele was. Her brand stands for more than the pictures or even the quality of her photography, it's her quality of the moments. She welcomes all people of all types of love and for that, it was a no-brainer.
Working with Kelsey was a breeze. She took the time to get to know Brian and me prior to our engagement shoot where she met us. Even through her photographing us, she made us feel comfortable and it welcomed all different types of moments and images captured.
For our wedding, she was as easy as ever to work with. She had suggested we start a little earlier and because we trusted her, it wasn't a second thought. She brought her team member, Zach, and he was great. He worked closely with my husband and his groomsmen/family. He also captured solo shots of us both and I appreciated how easy he was to work with.
As we anxiously wait for our wedding photos, I'm in awe of the work, time, and dedication Kelsey and team put into her brand/work.
If you're looking for an easy, high-quality, inclusive, and trustworthy photographer -- Kelsey is your person. Don't think twice about it.
Additional thoughts that made it easy for us:
- Pricing transparency. All her prices are on her website, easily accessible. It drove me crazy looking for someone amid all the planning and having to add an extra step to reach out to them for pricing. It's 2024. People value transparency and ease in the touch of a click.
- Responsiveness. She's easy to get ahold of through the channels she provides -- her website and its' messaging were amazing. I loved how easy it was.
- Knowledgeable. Hands down, she knows her ish. No doubt about that. Not just about photography, but about vendors and venues. She has worked and done weddings across so many places minimally in New England and it's obvious.
PS: If you're a bride/groom looking at The Barns at Wesleyan Hills -- don't think twice about hiring her. She knows that venue and staff so well -- it was the best.

We could not be happier that we went with Kelsey as our wedding photographer! Our wedding package included a complimentary engagement shoot which was a great way to get used to her style before the big day. Kelsey has an amazing personality and really knows how to make you feel good to take the best photos! Our engagement and wedding photos came out GORGEOUS and we had so many people tell us they were the best wedding photos they had ever seen. You won’t regret going with her!

Kelsey was so amazing to work with throughout the whole wedding process! I was immediately drawn to her style and editing when I found her on social media. From our first call to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she really thought of everything and made my husband and I feel like we had known her forever. For our wedding, she brought her colleague, Zac, who brought the same energy for our day. Kelsey made sure to capture all of our important moments throughout the day. I cannot stop looking at our full gallery almost a year later and will treasure them forever. We could not be more impressed and thankful that we chose Kelsey to be with us on our wedding day.

We highly recommend Kelsey! Kelsey has worked with us for some family pictures and then our engagement pictures. As soon as I met her, I knew that she was the perfect fit for us! She makes you feel super comfortable and everything is just natural. Kelsey is very talented and pays close attention to detail which is great. She loves what she does, and she cares about everyone she works with. Our guests had so many great things to say as well. We absolutely love her work and will continue to use her in the future.

I HIGHLY recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a photographer for their big day. From the beginning Kelsey has been responsive, professional, and working with her was so fun! As two people who didn’t have a lot of experience in front of the camera, Kelsey made us feel so comfortable and it felt like we were spending time with a friend. We also received so many comments after our wedding that our guests had a wonderful experience with her as well. I truly cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Kelsey!

There’s so many amazing things to say about Kelsey!! Kelsey photographed my sisters wedding that I was the maid of honor for, and not even engaged at the time, I knew she had to be at my wedding day someday. I booked with her immediately when I got engaged, which was a seamless process, and our engagement shoot was so fun and the pictures are STUNNING. Fast forward to the wedding day and I found out that she’s more than just a photographer- she’s a coordinator, maid of honor, best man, hype woman, all in one lol. She brought me such excitement and peace when she showed up. She also bustled my dress lol!! She’s such an amazing person and SO TALENTED. She makes you feel so comfortable and has the best ideas. She also made sure she captured everything we wanted in regards to inspo pics and with combinations of family members. We already have sneak peeks that blew me away. I’d book her a million times over. Thank you Kelsey so much for EVERYTHING you do and for being our back bone!!

While wedding planning my husband and I both agreed that photography was what we cared about the most while planning. But as someone who does not like being photographed or even looking at photos of myself most of the time I was weary. Kelsey went above and beyond every time we were together to make me feel comfortable. Her work with our engagement photos were absolutely stunning and I was so ready to work with her for the wedding. She was quick to respond and shared a lot of inspiration along the way leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding she was one of my biggest supporters and at no point was I worried about the outcome of our photos. She went above and beyond and truly made my day the best it could have been. From the bottom of my heart thank you!! You cannot go wrong if you chose Kelsey as your photographer for any big life event!

We cannot recommend Kelsey enough!! In 2022, I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and Kelsey was the photographer. Even though my now husband and I weren't engaged at that point, we had already decided that Kelsey is who we would be booking for our future wedding. After getting engaged later that year, we reached out to Kelsey before even booking a venue. As someone who is nervous about being in front of the camera Kelsey made me feel so comfortable. We had so much fun with our engagement shoot and were thrilled with how the pictures came out. On the day of our wedding, Kelsey did such an incredible job getting all of the shots we wanted. She is so calm, friendly and such good energy to be around on a day that can so easily become overwhelming. We are absolutely in love with the sneak peeks we received from our wedding and would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone!

I don’t have enough kind words to say about Kelsey. From the first time we spoke with her she was just so excited for us and such a hype woman. We had an absolute blast with her for our engagement pictures and on our wedding day. The pictures she took were GORGEOUS. We have had endless compliments about them. For people who have had zero experience in front of the camera, she gave great direction and made it so fun. The second shooter that Kelsey brought with her was also awesome and got a long so well with the guys. I plan to use Kelsey as a photographer whenever possible going forward! She is the best! Highly recommend, have no hesitation hiring her!

Kelsey is an absolute TALENT. From our engagement photos, to our final meeting, to our wedding day, she knocked it all out of the park. Kelsey is the kindest human, so attentive and makes sure you are so comfortable in all aspects of the wedding day. She is very detailed oriented, and made my vision a reality!! She has an eye for creativity and it speaks in her photos.
Kelsey is 100/10 photographer, if I could go back and redo my wedding I would choose Kelsey a millions times over. Her work is amazing, she is amazing, we LOVED working with her and can’t wait to work with her more in the future!

I stumbled upon Kelsey on Instagram several years ago now. I was immediately drawn to her photography, her style of shooting & editing. I knew when my husband and I finally decided to get married, she would be the one to photograph our wedding, no questions asked, it was a done deal! From the initial contact, Kelsey was responsive, professional, and friendly. When it came time for our engagement session, she made sure we were comfortable and everything flowed naturally. Our wedding day was also no exception. I’m beyond impressed & forever grateful I have these photos to cherish. I can’t recommend Kelsey enough & will certainly be using her in the future.

Kelsey was an absolute dream to work with! Her genuine soul, energetic personality and incredible talent is exactly what you want behind the camera photographing your biggest life moments. We booked Kelsey shortly after landing on a wedding date which was over 800 days away. We communicated through email and video chat leading up to our engagement shoot many months later. My husband and I had never been professionally photographed before so we were a little nervous but Kelsey instantly made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing and posing without hesitation only minutes later.
Fast forward to the wedding day- Kelsey was our personal hype woman! Not only did she take the most beautiful pictures of us but she also captured multiple raw emotion filled moments from the day that I didn't even see in real time. I am so thankful for her and those photos to relive the most special day over and over again. Since we got our sneak peeks back we have looked at them multiple times a day, sent them to friends and family, shared online, made them our phone backgrounds and once we have received the full gallery will put prints up in the house! Kelsey made sure to capture all of the big moments as well as the little ones throughout the day. We cannot say thank you enough. If you want a professional, passionate, hard working, talented and attentive photographer- she's your girl!

If you have already stumbled upon Kelsey, look no further. She is incredibly talented and puts so much love and care into all her photos and her clients! Both me and my partner were not super comfortable in front of a camera and Kelsey makes it feel comfortable and easy. She goes above and beyond for all her couples and seamlessly fits into your day! All of our photos came out incredible and we are so happy we found Kelsey!

We couldn't have found a better photographer for our wedding!! Kelsey is extremely organized and through. She knew EXACTLY what needed to happen and when, which made our wedding day stress-free. I disclosed to her that I am a very anxious person, to which she acknowledged and checked in with me throughout the day to make sure that I was having the best time. She even agreed to pull me away from a stressful situation to help me calm down if I needed it! What a truly genuine and supportive human being.
When Kelsey tells you that she will be your best friend by the end of this process, she is NOT KIDDING. We can't wait to hire her again to photograph us in the future!!

Kelsey and Evelyn (her associate) were spectacular! Not only are they super talented with their photos and edits, but they go above and beyond for their clients. Evelyn is such a blast to hang out with, you almost forget you're getting your picture taken. They are quick to reply to all inquiries and are very accommodating and willing to make things work for you. Would definitely use them again for future professional photos.

If you are a shy couple that isn’t big on pda and are worried about being in front of a camera. Kelsey is definitely your girl! Never mind the amazing work she does! My husband and I met Kelsey at a friends wedding before we were even engaged and we just loved her and her personality. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted Kelsey to be our photographer, easiest vendor choice we had to make! When we did our engagement shoot, we had no idea what we were doing but she told us exactly what to do and made us very comfortable the entire time and the pictures were amazing. We walked away saying how much fun we had! We had the same energy from Kelsey on our wedding day! Kelsey is also a crisis extraordinaire as she helped my MOH fix my dress that broke just minutes before our first look, and keep me calm while doing so. If you want a fun, bubbly photographer that know what she is doing and gets amazing shots, hire Kelsey! You won’t regret it!

Kelsea is absolutely incredible. From day one of planning, we knew she was a perfect fit. On the day of our wedding, Kelsea made us feel so at ease she captured every moment of our day, looking back on photos. The perfect candidates bring us back in that moment and the formal shots of us, family, friends and bridal party are stunning. We would use Kelsey for any future life capturing moments.

Kelsey was the second shooter in our wedding in October 2016. She was so chill and fun to be around and did an excellent job editing our photos. I have recommended Kelsey to other friends, at least one who used her for their wedding and was so happy with her. Since then, I’ve done two boudoir shoots with Kelsey and had an amazing experience. She is so uplifting and makes women feel empowered. I’d recommend her to anyone!

Kelsey is quite literally the sweetest person ever, she will truly be your #1 hype girl on your wedding day! She was always two steps ahead of us, knowing exactly what needed to be done and when, which was not expected of her but fully appreciated! Her photos are absolutely magical and did an amazing job getting all the photos I requested and I’m in love with literally everything she presented us with! I plan on using Kelsey in the future for any other photography needs!

We could not be happier with Kelsey as our wedding photographer! We did two pre-wedding shoots in 2020 and in 2021 then she (finally!) captured our wedding in October 2022; each gallery we were delivered kept getting better. We had just enough time leading up to the wedding to meet for planning calls, she was very prompt in replies and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and venue, and was just an absolute rockstar the entire day of the wedding. You can’t help but be even more excited than you already when she comes to your getting ready suite with glitter she picked out specifically for your flatlay!

Our photos came out AMAZING!! We cannot recommend them enough!!

I can’t even begin to describe how AMAZING Kelsey and her work are. Kelsey is so kind, professional, on time, helpful, and truly there for YOU completely on your wedding day (like reminding you to eat and take a second to breathe.) She can direct a large group of people easily and efficiently, and got us all the shots we wanted on our wedding day. Kelsey is also flexible and calm- you want her around on your wedding because she will solve any problem! (like a bustle not working or a place for the photo booth) Kelsey’s work is absolutely stunning- when we got back our engagement shoot, we had such a hard time picking just one picture for our wedding invite! Kelsey will get so many amazing pictures and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We got our “sneak peek” back from our wedding photos and they were all amazing- she captured the wedding and our love so magically and perfect in a way I didn’t think would be possible. Kelsey is the best choice you will make for your wedding- she was ours! And we will be going back to her for all of our photo needs from now on! I cannot say enough incredible things about Kelsey and her photography work. 100/10 would recommend to everyone!

Kelsey is the absolute sweetest human and a dream to work with. My husband and I couldn’t have imagined our day without her. She took our engagement photos, during a tropical storm, and it turned out absolutely stunning. The day of our wedding she made us feel so at ease, ensured we got all the pictures we wanted and we were still able to make it to cocktail hour! She and her 2nd photographer Zac went above and beyond what we could have imagined, and made it feel like we were hanging with friends all day. Would highly recommend Kelsey for anyone looking for a photographer for their special day. You won’t regret it.

Kelsey photographed our wedding on April 29th 2022 and we could not recommend her enough! There are really two parts to choosing your wedding photographer - personality and then of course, their work. Kelsey knocks it out of the park in both categories. We are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Kelsey made sure to talk us through it, make us laugh, and feel comfortable and it truly came through in the photos. Our bridal party said the exact same - they all loved working with her and just how easy she is to talk to and work with. She worked with us when scheduling changed, hit every photo on our shot list, and made sure to get the golden hour photos I really wanted. Then, the photos - we cannot stop looking at our gallery. The lighting, color, and emotion in the photos are absolutely stunning and really can't choose a favorite. She delivered exactly what we were asking for. Do not hesitate to hire Kelsey, she truly is the best!

Words cannot properly express how much we love Kelsey! We first found Kelsey through a friend and hired her for our engagement photos (which to this day we still get compliments on) we had already found a wedding photographer but loved her work so much we wanted to use her for the engagement photos! Long story short we ended up booking with her for our wedding and it was the best decision we've ever made. She's not only a wonderful person and become a friend but her artistic vision and eye will make your pictures stand so far out from the average wedding photo. She goes above and beyond to take pictures based on not only your wants but your personality and style as well. We were also lucky enough to have her associate Zac with us on our wedding day who is also just as wonderful of a person and as gifted as Kelsey is. We're so lucky to have met Kelsey because she's a dream to work with and truly takes the most beautiful pictures we've ever seen!

Kelsey was INCREDIBLE to work with. As newbies to professional photography, we were so worried that we were going to be awkward in front of the camera (we have had the same pose for 8 years!). Kelsey made us feel comfortable, energetic and directed us throughout the process. She was very communicative before, during and after our shoot! The gallery is STUNNING and I look forward to sharing them further with friends and family. Thank you so so so much from the bottom of our hearts! We will definitely come back to you for any future needs!

It is so important to find the right photographer for your wedding and sometimes the search seems endless, but stop your search here. Kelsey absolutely makes the day fun and easy. Even before the wedding she was there for everything we needed and knew the exact questions to ask us so the actual wedding day went perfectly. As a couple who generally does not want to be the center of attention Kelsey knew how to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever. People ask what my favorite picture from our wedding is and I honestly cannot pick because there are SO many. Her creativity is endless. Could not imagine having anyone else capture our special day!

Her work is absolutely stunning and I have no idea how we'll ever narrow down which photos to display in our home. We want to hang them ALL! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Kelsey paid attention to detail, stayed on schedule, made us feel comfortable, made us laugh and kept us going. It was amazing to look back on our special day through her lens. We are so happy to have these photos to reflect on forever. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough.

We discovered Kelsey through CT Wedding Group when she worked for a previous company. She photographed the wedding of another couple my husband and I went to college with and absolutely loved the photos! We met with her in October of 2018 for our October 2019 wedding. She was absolutely everything we were looking for! Super fun and creative, made us laugh the entire time. We incorporated smoke bombs into our pictures and they came out so cool. Even after our wedding we had Kelsey capture other special moments in our lives. She did both our maternity and newborn family photos. Kelsey is all around wonderful. She is super sweet, very professional, easy to communicate with, attentive and creates beautiful photos. I can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough about Kelsey. We have known each other for years and I always wanted to have her as my wedding photographer. In addition to her immense talent and STUNNING work, she puts you at ease throughout the wedding planning process. We met for dinner a few months before the wedding to discuss the finer details of the day. Kelsey took notes on everything we wanted, special pictures of specific family members, important moments we wanted captured, and she delivered above and beyond our expectations. From the moment she arrived at my bridal suite, she never stopped. Her energy is so positive and fun and it feels like your good friend just happens to be taking your pictures. Since getting our photos back from her, countless friends and family have told me how absolutely gorgeous the photos are and I couldn't agree more. Not only will you never regret hiring Kelsey (and her fabulous assistant Evelyn!), but she is the best choice you could make.

She makes you feel confident and gets you to feel comfortable in-front of a camera. I knew I made the best decision ever with Kelsey even before the engagement shoot because we spent over an hour on the phone (before I even hired her!!) planning the wedding. She is someone that wants to be there for you and she is. She is our wet noodle and we love her! (Inside joke, we got weird during the engagement shoot haha)
Now to the photos.. they are flipping AMAZING. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Kelsey was really an amazing photographer to work with! She made our engagement session fun and care free! Our dog was being very bad during the photo shoot and I was so scared all the pictures would be ruined! However every picture was perfect! She is really talented ! My only wish is that she would be available for our wedding day. If you book her for engagement and or your wedding, your pictures will be truly unique and beautiful

Kelsey is truly the best we could have asked for! First, she makes everyone feel like they’ve known her forever. It’s so important to be comfortable with your photographer and that we were. Further, her work in truly incredible. She has such an artistic eye, Kelsey always had a different trick that she used to make a photograph more than your regular engagement photo, boudoir photo, etc. We did our engagement photos, wedding photos and I did a boudoir shoot with her. She went above and beyond, from double triple checking our shot list to helping me pin up parts of my dress when it got caught on my shoes day of. Kelsey is one of a kind and I cannot wait to recommend her to everyone I know!

Wow! It’s the only thing my husband and I can utter. From the moment we picked Kelsey to cover our semi last minute elopement we knew we picked the right person for the job!
We had to change our plans for our wedding due to covid and up until the last minute we weren’t sure how this elopement would look.
Kelsey was always there to answer any question and to just check in! She is a very kind soul who also takes amazing photographs . She’s so easy going and happy to accommodate anything you need. (She even got into a canoe with all her equipment to get the perfect shot despite ever being in one)
Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined and it was all thanks to her. We were able to even get a sneak peek which made it easy for us to get thank you cards and gifts out right away!
You won’t find anyone quite as easy going and as talented as Kelsey!

I can’t even begin to explain how awesome Kelsey is! From the beginning, she has always been so positive, so accommodating and literally so down to earth! Although our first wedding was heavily impacted by the virus, Kelsey didn’t even hesitate about continuing this journey with us. I am so grateful and beyond honored to have worked with her. Her work is AMAZING, enough said. She has been keeping us updated with sneak peeks and little details. The unedited photos and her ideas are just too beautiful, our family and friends ranted and raved about how amazing she made us feel. I am so glad Kelsey was our photographer for our perfect day, she is amazing! Thank you Kelsey for being such a genuine kind loving soul!

Where to begin— Kelsey is not only the best photographer you’ll have for your wedding but one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. We first met back in 2018 when she did our amazing engagement pictures. My husband and I didn’t know how to act or respond to getting out photos professionally taken but after just a few minutes, Kelsey made us feel like we’ve known each other for years. After covid cancelled our big wedding (4/20), I knew that no matter what our new plans were going to look like, Kelsey would be involved. After sending her a rambling email telling her all about my ideas and talking on the phone, she eased all of my micro wedding worries and helped me envision what our new special day would look like. Our micro wedding in July was just our immediate family and I could not have imagined anyone else photographing those special moments. She is always going above and beyond to not only fill the role of a photographer, but a support system as well. She is truly one of a kind. Our families couldn’t stop raving about how thoughtful and talented she was. I could not recommend her enough for anyone looking for an amazing photographer to help them truly capture the most special day of their lives!!!

Kelsey did an engagement photo shoot for us way back in February 2019, and this review is long overdue given what an incredible job she did. It's difficult to come up with beautiful photo shoot locations in the dead of winter, but Kelsey made it look easy. She was super friendly, professional, and made us feel so at ease, and the photos came out gorgeous. Would highly recommend.

Working with Kelsey has been an absolute delight and booking her as our wedding photographer was easily the best decision we could have made. When I first inquired her services by email, she was prompt with her responses and was more than willing to be flexible with her schedule to make arrangements for an in person consultation. She answered any and every question we had and went over all details of her services and packages. She was knowledgeable, informative and at the same time gave great suggestions and ideas (with examples) for a couple like us who were so clueless as to what we wanted. We ended up choosing a wedding package that included an engagement shoot along with our wedding day coverage. On the day of our engagement shoot, I remember being so nervous at the thought being in front of the camera. We decided to go to a local brewery for our location and upon meeting up with Kelsey for the shoot, her presence was so calming that it felt like we were just meeting up with a friend. I instantly felt so comfortable with her that my nerves vanished! She casually started taking photos of us in our natural element and none of it ever felt staged or cheesy. She gave great direction and it was awesome to see her be actively creative with us. The photos came out incredible and it really set the bar for what we were to expect come our actual wedding day.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, our original wedding day plans for March 21, 2020 were affected by the state-wide shutdown due to COVID-19. We found out the week of our wedding that we were forced to cancel and reschedule our celebration for a later date. At the time, it was difficult for us to make very last minute decisions and redirect everything but Kelsey was so supportive in those moments. She genuinely wanted to make sure that WE were okay and was an emotional crutch for me. I am so forever ever grateful for her because of how HELPFUL she was. Her positivity and encouragement for us in these dark times helped us decide that we still wanted to get married on that date, and we made it happen! She went above and beyond her services with helping me find a new last minute hair stylist; to helping us find a last minute JP; to helping us coordinate Facetime viewings of our private ceremony with our immediate families and honestly so much more! While her photography aesthetic is something I already really appreciate; she was able to capture such raw, heart felt moments that day and in the end, everything turned out so special like it was intended to be. I am obsessed with how all of our photos turned out and I am so grateful to have these mementos to relive what was still the greatest wedding day ever!
