Kelley Raye - Photographer ⭐️ Best of The Knot Winner

ce in the best way-- she was kind and big hearted and put us at ease. Her pictures are stunning but more importantly she is an amazing person.

ing how incredible they are. Our wedding was outdoors and literally 100 degrees in Savannah, GA and somehow Kelley and Fallon kept hustling and did it all with a smile. It's hard work! They made my husband and I feel so calm and happy. They were really personable and fun- exactly the people you want with you in those intimate or stressful wedding moments. They captured all the important shots and I didn't even notice them most of the time. They're very sneaky! Kelley is really sweet and easy to communicate with online. She was organized and totally on top of it all. Strongly recommend this duo!

r eye for catching the details of everything is impeccable and in no way, shape, or form, did we feel like we ended up with cookie-cutter pictures, but instead with true art. Cannot stress enough how amazing the day was because of them!

country. Kelley talked me down and we set a date for a few days before we departed. I was so stressed, couldn't find an outfit, hair falling flat, getting a free Sephora makeover about 5 minutes before we were scheduled to shoot, and then Kelley arrived, cool as a breeze, and somehow made us look AH-MAZING despite it all. Then came the wedding, and she brought her wonderful partner Fallon along, and I just can't imagine a sweeter/chiller duo to spend the day with. They made posing with our enormous wedding party and families a total breeze—even, dare I say, fun!—and stuck around all day, capturing the best detail shots, dance floor shots, emotional moments. The results were amazing, told the story of the whole day so artfully and without any of that plasticine lameness that so many wedding photos suffer from (sorry y'all but it's true). I love these two so much! Just stop reading this and hire them!!! <3

following kelley’s work on Instagram just out of admiration, so I was absolutely gobsmacked when she was available (I was VERY lucky cause she’s a busy lady). She really captured the day in the best light and I LOVE the photos. Even the ones of me! Turn around for the final portfolio was very fast as well! If you’re considering hiring Kelley, they don’t wait! Book her now before her schedule fills up! The photos are the only thing left after the day is gone, so you want someone who can capture it so that the generations still to come can look at them and hope their day will be as magical as yours.

y shots. They did an amazing job getting our big Indian and Italian families together. They got pictures of all the things my partner and I had made, and all the tiny details that were so important to us at the wedding. Two days after the wedding, Kelley sent us a 'preview', and the preview had around 50 pictures in it! The whole album is so gorgeous. We had received so many compliments on the pictures, the look and the feel and how everyone felt like they were attending the wedding just by looking at the pictures. We also did a pre-wedding shoot with Kelley, and it was such a blast. We were laughing through the hour, goofing around. Kelley is so chill, there was no awkwardness about posing or anything, just incredible pictures. Kelley was the first vendor we booked, we FaceTimed to her for 10 minutes and knew we needed her at the wedding. She made amazing suggestions for other vendors, and was ready to help out whenever.

ecial moments in real time is unmatched. There is no need to pose during your engagement shoot, while you're getting ready, during the ceremony or reception. Enjoy the moment and she will film it. Kelley, I sincerely appreciate you and Fallon perfectly shooting our wedding. You were both easy and fun to work with, while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Alex and I still enjoy looking at the photos you took when reminiscing. When we think of all the vendors we worked with for wedding, you stand out. We never stressed about our photos. We were confident they'd be great, professional and delivered in a timely manner. You exceeded all expectations. We have and will continue to recommend you to anyone looking to work with the best.

lity and fun loving personality. Not only have I gotten compliments about our photos, but our wedding guests raved about how much fun she and Fallon were to be around on our wedding day. We danced all night AND got amazing photos. She is a wonderful presence and we were very happy to have her and Fallon a part of our very special day!

us how much they loved our photographer!

r big day. Kelley is also extremely professional. She made everything incredibly easy by providing detailed and informational guides for everything you would need to know for the day of the wedding. I wish all my vendors had that! It made me feel confident she would get the job done and done right. Very few wedding vendors are as put together as she is!

ur wedding day, and we are so happy with every photo. We got to relive our special day through each and every photo, which really tells the story of the night!

d her work with lighting is stunning. She shot our intimate mountaintop wedding at sunset, and the photos are the perfect combination of beautiful green mountain landscape, a sherbet sky, and painted portraits of the emotions of that day. We were so lucky to have such a talented, flexible, light-hearted, and easy-going human to work with. Looking back through our album makes me feel like I am experiencing the day all over again. The world (and folks getting married) are lucky Kelley Raye Photography exists. If you are looking to capture authentic moments and raw human emotion from your big day, Kelley is the one.

hotos she even adventurous and went sailing with my parents to get the best photos. I would recommend Kelley to anyone. Thank you Kelley!

ff such a cool and moody vibe. This is saying a lot because I am quite picky when it comes to art, which is what photography should be. Can't wait to work with Kelley again to capture our next adventure.

otos and feel all the emotions as if they were actually there. And Kelley was the perfect person for the job! From our initial Skype meeting, to our elopement day - Kelley just made us so comfortable and we knew we were in good hands. We had so much fun with Kelley and Fallon on our elopement day and our photos turned out INCREDIBLE. We couldn’t be happier with Kelley Raye!

heesy shots that I could never envision myself framing or using. When I came across Kelley, it was so refreshing to see wedding photos that were true CANDIDS. Everyone's style is different, but I love how Kelley captures the natural, authentic moments of the day versus having too-heavily staged photos. When you look through her albums, you feel transported to the party. I absolutely love her use of saturated color and rich detail. She was a joy to work with and has such a sweet soul. Highly recommend!! Her price point is also very reasonable for the quality of her work. Photos were delivered within a few weeks!

We were sick of seeing cookie cutter, washed out, blown out wedding photos in our searches - when did that become a "thing"? We wanted saturation, color, depth, flaws, and emotion. Thank God we stumbled upon Kelley Raye on THE KNOT...her photos were exactly what we were looking for and more. Next question- was this Kelley Raye cool? Right after we skyped with Kelley for the first time we agreed that she was THE COOLEST & we needed her to capture our July Malibu wedding. July 8th rolled around and Kelley and her amazing assist, Fallon, showed up at my hotel room bright and early to capture some "getting ready shots." My Mom, sister, and I felt like we had known them forever - they were so fun to hang out with! As the day progressed, they stayed so calm, cool, and collected while obtaining every single shot imaginable. My normally camera shy husband had a blast with Kelley and she shot the most adorable images of him i've ever seen in my life. We got our pictures back about 3 weeks later and our minds were blown. Every picture (oh, and Kelley gives you ALL of them) was a work of art. Kelley Raye slam-dunked capturing the love, the colors, the emotion, the beach vibes, and the beauty of the day. She served up some Malibu dream realness through her photos, and we are forever grateful. I cannot recommend Kelley Raye ENOUGH. Hurry up and book her- she's a popular lady :)

tire process. The images she produces are absolutely beautiful and intimate. She captured the big moments, but also the ones that happen in between, which to me are almost more important. Thank you so much Kelley for being you and for being the best!

of her style. I'm so glad I did because she well exceeded our expectations! She took so many awesome candid shots. We have had such a blast looking through all of the photos and reliving our day. She is a lot of fun to work with and is very reasonably priced. We will definitely be contacting her for future events. Thank you so much Kelley!!

er.

s, early to arrive at our location, and always professional. Having her shoot our engagement photos was a real pleasure - she has a great eye and gives great direction. Kelley made us feel relaxed and like we were taking photos with our friend (which we were!), and the pictures definitely showed that. Even more so, she sent us our pictures earlier than expected which was a nice treat - we can't wait to use them for our save-the-dates :) Thanks Kelley!

d expression, capturing some wonderful candids and portraits. She worked super hard all day/night. We're extremely happy with the pictures she took and her customer service. She was a pleasure to work with and is very reasonably priced for the quality of her product.

d the magic she captured on our special day!

us. Our wedding photos are so nice. At some point during the reception I did not notice she was there but she got the most beautiful and candid shots. My husband does not smile often but she really captured how happy he was that night. She found hidden moments we had together as well. We couldn't be happier with the photos.

of a camera, but Kelley made us feel very relaxed and we had a great time shooting with her. Our photos turned out truly amazing. We also loved and appreciated that she posted a selection of preview pics the next day, and got our completed photos to us in an extremely timely fashion. Its been so fun reliving our day through her kickass pictures.

y we were hoping. Her work is an amazing value!

she quickly provided an amazing selection of shots. We would recommend Kelley to anyone!

e had a blast during our photo shoot and she knows how to make nervous couples feel comfortable. She was also super quick in getting our photos to us. We couldn’t be happier!

s are amazing, she has a great eye and we loved her work. She is professional, punctual and always replies promptly to emails. Her work is a great value and we were very happy with the pricing even with paying for her transportation to the NY/NJ area. Our photos came out amazing and we love how they tell the story of our special day. Hire Kelley now!

he plunge even though she lived in ATL and us in STL at the time. We are so happy with the turnout of our engagement and wedding photos. We ended up posting up almost 770 or so photo's (the tagging was a nightmare though) that she sent to us lol. You will not be disappointed, you can see her passion in the photos that she produces, and that should indicate the quality and care that you'll be receiving.

he best they had ever seen. Would recommend her in a heartbeat.

one else. From her warm and generous personality to her amazing and artistic eye, Kelley was the absolute best. On what can be a stressful day, Kelley was there, smiling and supportive. And, then we got the pictures! She sees moments that you may have missed and sees them in the most gorgeous way.

ed out to her!), we knew for sure she was the one. Our decision to elope was a culmination of a lot of desires for how we wanted our wedding day to go, including not being stressed. Kelley not only made us feel comfortable and ourselves, but made the day so incredibly fun and memorable! She is an absolute delight to work with, and her work is truly incredible. I am SO glad we chose her to capture our special day, and it was the best decision we made for our wedding, besides deciding to elope! I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer who will be able to provide the highest quality work, and be TONS of fun to work with (which I believe is also so important!)

ofessionalism!

rs and lines is amazing. The teasers she shared of our wedding were breathtaking. I can't wait to see the entire wedding. Thank you Kelley for all you and Fallon do!

ss of having our engagement photo shoot seamless for my now husband (who doesn't love having his picture taken), and in the end, we got some great candid shots that I didn't even realize were taken. Overall great value, original style, and pleasant experience.

weddings she shot, we already knew that we loved her way of telling stories through photos. During our engagement shoot, she somehow managed to capture beautiful and dynamic pictures of us, even though we were being silly and laughing the whole time. She made us feel comfortable and gently directed us so that she could capture the shots she needed. Leading up to our wedding day, Kelley provided us with some really useful information to help us prepare and to make sure she captured the best shots possible. With the exception of our posed photos, we didn't even notice her taking pictures during the ceremony and reception. She was like a ninja and captured so many great candid shots of our celebration. We have received so many compliments on our photos from family and friends. It was amazing to look through the 500 + photos we received afterwards and relive the day, seeing things we had missed as everything unfolded. My husband and I have found our forever family photographer and can't recommend Kelley enough!

sions to come! Her style is edgy and a perfect fit for us. Kelley and Fallon make a great team. Thank you for capturing our love and families!

ctures. Kelley did a blog post with great pictures just a little over a week after the wedding and then we received our USB drive with pictures within a few weeks. The quality of the pictures is great!

to work with! She fit in perfectly with my friends and family members and she made us all feel comfortable while shooting! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends or family and I do plan on using her again for future events!!

the wedding scene. However, after meeting with her I had an instant connection and decided that I would have her do our engagement photo shoot and if we liked the photos we would have her shoot our wedding. I have to admit that I had another photographer who was much more expensive than Kelley that I really wanted to book but decided to wait. For our engagement photos we had two locations and one outfit change. At the beginning, we were very nervous but Kelly got us laughing and really put us at ease. The engagement photos were ready the next day and the photos were absolutely amazing. We had no trouble picking a photo for our save the date card. Needless to say, we were so impressed by her work and the way she was able to capture precious moments without making us pose that we decided to use her for our wedding. The wedding photos were phenomenal and one of the pictures could honestly be on the cover of a magazine. Everyone who saw our pictures though we had a very talented photographer and thought the pictures were fantastic. I am still amazed by some of the pictures that Kelley was able to capture. Kelley was really able to capture the love between my husband and I and we didn't even notice when she was taking the pictures. Finally, Kelleys wedding package was awesome and she had all the photos on a unique wooden zip drive. We were so pleased to work with Kelley and we will cherish the wedding photos forever. I know that should we have any future events like having a baby we will definitely be using Kelly!! Thanks for all your hard work. You exceeded our expectations.
