Kelly Birch Photography

here to capture what would become a special memory. When photos were to be posed, she did it to perfection and with patience...working with giddy bridesmaids!!! I think the best measure of Kelly’s success are the spontaneous tears and laughter her photos generate!! GREAT WORK! I would recommend Kelly Birch Photography to anyone, knowing they would be THRILLED with the results. Kelly is the consummate professional.

he was and her amazing talent! She will make your big day unforgettable.

racted to photos all of which happened to be taken by Kelly Birch Photography. We met with Kelly and knew right away that she was the right photographer for our day. Not only is Kelly a first class photographer, she’s a day of planner, vendor reference guide, and your biggest advocate to make sure your wedding day goes exactly as planned (including getting those “must have shots”). On the wedding day, Kelly and her team made sure we stuck to our timeline, managed family emotions, and quietly captured wonderful moments we hadn’t even known happened until we received our pictures. After the wedding we felt like little kids before Christmas awaiting our pictures. Kelly quickly fulfilled our anticipation by providing a sample of photos we could share with friends and family to remember the day. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and more grateful for the deep experience Kelly and her team brought to our wedding planning process and wedding day. Thanks for everything!

ect us to help capture the perfect moments and Kelly did not disappoint! Our engagement session was lively, spontaneous and a lot of fun. On the day of the wedding, we loved having Kelly there for every bit. She had fun ideas with props that our wedding party still talks about today! Kelly also did everything she could to get that perfect shot. We appreciated it so much! Kelly does a lot of follow-up, she’s innovative, unbelievably talented and incredibly reliable. We would highly recommend her! She made our day amazing!

ownpours and momentary loss of power to the venue left our hopes of outdoor photos pretty well drenched, Kelly was the ray of sunshine and positivity - practically willing the sun to shine after the ceremony and into the 78 degree and sunny afternoon. It was a perfect day. And she photographed the whole thing beautifully. As for the quality and essence of the photos - Kelly’s capture of unscripted moments, people’s reactions to the scenarios that filled the day, heartfelt glances, and backlit romantic night shots so accurately captured the tone and tenor of the event, there was no need for video. Paging through the photos brought the entire day back for us not just visually, but in spirit as well. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories, Kelly!

eather. She memorialized so many special moments during the course of the day. For example, not only did she capture the First Look beautifully, she also captured the moment when the bridesmaids were peeking through a window watching the First Look take place. She was a joy to work with and the pictures came out absolutely incredible! I have recommended Kelly to everyone I know who is in the process of planning a wedding.

e that we felt comfortable with our photographer before we spent a lot of money on some of the most important photos of our lives! Another thing that we both loved about Kelly was her flexibility. She seemed to answer our calls and questions any time day or night. Which for my wife being an extreme planner was huge and for me was a relief. Because as the saying goes, happy wife happy life! For me personally another thing that I really enjoyed about Kelly was her scheduling and planning. She had our whole wedding day planned out, and for me that really made the day go by very smoothly! Then getting to the photography itself. I am not even sure where to start. The engagement photos were so much fun and we had a really cool venue out at Hansen Tree Farms in Minnesota in the Winter. There were so many of those photos that we loved! Then the wedding day photos are some of the coolest most unique photos ever! For us one of the best things about Kelly was that she got our sneak peak out the next day! I have had friends wait weeks for just a sneak peak even! Some of my favorite photos she took were the detail shots of some of the items we wore on our wedding day! Then we had some really cool shots of just us in different spots around Minneapolis. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she also had so many suggestions for other vendors. We actually ended up using her suggestion for our videographer. Kelly is hands down one of the most genuine, kind, and amazing people that we have ever met. I would recommend her to anyone looking for any photos!

y step of the process with me, often helping me make important decisions about my wedding and lending advice that I would have never have thought of. Kelly and Jacob go so far as working with your vendors if you wish, to ensure that your ultimate goal for your wedding is achieved and that your vision is kept in line. Simply put, they are the most responsive, supportive, and easiest people to work with. Best of all, hey genuinely care about you and your wedding. Kelly has spent hours with me on the phone going over ideas and supporting me through the entire process. My wedding would not be nearly as amazing as it is without Kelly’s support.

Kelly was there to answer any question that I had, many of which had nothing to do with the photography. Because she is so well-versed in the wedding industry as a whole, I trusted what she said (and thankfully so--her advice was spot on). Not only was Kelly willing to give advice, she never fussed about it being outside the scope of her duties as a photographer, and in every interaction, Kelly was professional and kind, always. About a month before my wedding, I was diagnosed with melanoma. Kelly was, in short, an absolute blessing to have in our lives at that time. She did everything in her power to make that month easier for all of us. My family, my husband, and I have no way of expressing how truly grateful we are for her. On the wedding day, Kelly was organized (so organized). Her timeline was more detailed and well thought-out than even my wedding planner's. She has it down to a science. She was effective at managing very large group shots--collectively, my husband and I had 200 family members at the wedding. One shot had over 50 people in it. No sweat for Kelly, she was cool as a cucumber. Kelly has mastered the art of the gentle reminder; because of her gentle reminders on the wedding day, we stayed perfectly on schedule and were able to get every "must have" shot, plus many more from our bucket list. Each turned out fantastic. My mother-in-law was skeptical about the costs associated with hiring a seasoned professional like Kelly. But after seeing the shots that Kelly got, and in reflecting on Kelly's kindness and professionalism leading up to and on the wedding, my mother-in-law told me that Kelly was worth every penny. I agree--Kelly is worth her weight in gold. Kelly went above and beyond. Her organization and professionalism exceeded my wedding-day pipe dreams; her kindness is that which most reserve for family and friends. Kelly is talented, professional, and kind-hearted. I deeply admire her artistic talent and respect who she is as a person. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience in working with Kelly. If I could give her more than five stars, I would give her many, many more.

ding party, family, and activities throughout the day and evening. Absolutely amazing!

g ideas off of if needed. My husband and I truly appreciated all of her help throughout our day.

as outstanding. She helped us plan the entire day with photos in mind. Her quick responses to anything we needed leading up to the big day was much appreciated—our minds were at ease knowing we could count on her. Kelly is such a joy to be around and made our wedding day so much fun! She saved the day more than a handful of times—always thinking a step ahead. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. We are now blessed to also be able to call her a friend ❤️

rapher for our big day. She always try’s to do something new and unique with each and everyone of her brides. We love Kelly!

ne that has perused Kelly’s gallery of photos on her website or social media pages knows what an incredibly talented artist she is, but those images do not summarize the level of professionalism, love and attention to detail that Kelly has throughout the entire journey. By the end of our wedding, Kelly and Jacob became our unofficial wedding planners, shenanigan triage’rs, anxiety busters, and most importantly friends. She is truly a modern-day Superwoman. I am from Arizona and my husband is from Minnesota and we chose to get married in Phoenix. We wanted our engagement and wedding photos to tell the story of us. Before the first session, Kelly met with us to get an idea of what this story would look like. For our engagement photos we decided to capture the “Minnesota side” with a session by the creek we had our first date on ending with sunset photos at the Twins stadium where we have season tickets and embodies our sports fanatic side. For the wedding, we wanted my desert roots to shine through with all the unique Spanish architecture, soft desert hues, and giant cacti that only Phoenix can provide. Kelly went above and beyond with the black and whites highlighting the dramatic Spanish architecture to skyline view of my childhood city skyline to stolen kisses in the soft green olive orchards. The next morning, we woke up early to grab sunrise photos amongst the giant arms of the Saguaro. She and Jacob even took drone shots to be sure to capture the desert in all its drama. If you are undecided on the day after photos, you will be exhausted, but it’s completely worth it!! Kelly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

s a wedding planner when we last minute needed to switch venues. She helped us find our new space and made the needed recommendations to planning an entirely new wedding in three weeks. Her photography speaks for itself, but her commitment to her couples is on an entirely different level - she truly cares and wants to be sure the day reaches and exceeds your expectations. She makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful and I could go on and on. You will not be disappointed by the service and product you get from this incredible person!

h and every one of our pictures, from both our engagement session and wedding day. Kelly is incredibly easy going and makes the entire process simple and so fun. She goes above and beyond expectations, and provided us a ton of helpful information about other vendors and details! She’s very responsive, organized, and professional. We had SUCH a blast taking a day trip to Duluth for our engagement shoot, and it honestly feels like we’ve gained a good friend in this process! When our wedding day arrived, she was awesome at keeping everything on time and organized, which was very calming for us! We had several compliments from our family and guests about how great they thought Kelly was working with us. And SO many people asking to be able to see our whole album after seeing a few of our sneak peaks! She even surprised us with a unique and fun photo session with bubble machines for the wedding party during the cocktail hour! I can’t say enough about how highly I recommend Kelly - awesome photographer, awesome person!

a photograph there every week or so through social media and the excitement build up to getting all of them was well worth the wait. The photographs and the way Kelly sees the picture before she even takes it is out of this world. Worth every penny! Her assistant was also great and took airial pictures through the use of a drone. This added to the wedding day as people were loving seeing it at work. Overall, I would highly recommend Kelly and tell any guys to listen to their fiancées and wife’s if they are pushing for her as I did. Best decision I never made!

edding day! We would recommend Kelly for any of our family and friends during their selection of a photographer.

en us memories we will treasure forever. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect and stress free. From the moment she arrived she was calm, professional and just went ahead blending into to the background like a friend, snapping away and making us feel relaxed and enabling natural moments to be photographed.I would highly recommend Kelly to any of my friends and family... And hope one day to have a excuse to arrange for another photo shoot sometime soon!

uckily we did and we cannot believe the photos she captured. Not only on the day of the wedding but the next day on our adventure shoot. I can’t wait to print the pictures off and having them hang all around our home! They are simply breath taking. And everyone we show them to can’t believe how amazing they are! We will work with Kelly again even if that means having her come to NJ or us to MN!

enery and all of the Scottish traditions! The photos could not have turned out any better. I can’t wait to see more destination weddings from her!!

ing the most special day of my life, and she went beyond my expectation. Not only is she great at her job, but she is also an incredible person! Our wedding planning process and our big day would not have been the same without her.

perfectly with what my wife and I were looking for. While capturing images she is decisive, encouraging, and direct which made my wife and I feel comfortable to have genuine moments on camera. Kelly surpassed my expectations of what a wedding photographer should be and I am extremely grateful to have booked her!

apher she’s a friend! She always made us feel comfortable and welcome and it was overall just a fun experience. She kept us laughing. Photography is definitely in her blood and comes naturally to her!

e in a business look at you as just a customer but Kelly looks at you like family. She goes out of her way to make sure you are happy and makes sure she really captures your special moment. I would highly recommend Kelly Birch Photography to anyone who wants to capture and special moments in their life!

Please. Look no further. Book Kelly today!! Her talent is incredible.

and gave us unremarkable service. Whenever it snows or we drive by where our shoots were; our hearts smile and we are brought back to the moments of love, laughter, and really cold snow getting blown out of my hands for the perfect photo. Truly an experience more than just a service or photographer.

fer some awesome vendors, too! Kelly is truly the best in the business!

we wanted. She went along with our crazy ideas and even rode on a four wheeler to get some of the best shots! When it came to our wedding it was the same way, she included the groomsman and there mud trucks and made sure she captured our love for the outdoors and our goofiness for each other. I will always go to Kelly first for when we start a family. She has reassured me that god has a plan and everything happens at the right time. If you're looking for the best photographer I would choose Kelly!

but have a good time when you are around her. She truly captured our day in an incredible way and I will forever cherish the photos that she made possible.

. I can honestly say Kelly is the one who made those moments seamless. She reminded me to not stress on the little things and to focus on what really mattered. She wasnt just a photographer, but more of a friend throughout the day. I have nothing but great things to say and highly recommend her!

omfortable. Working with Kelly was like having a photographer and wedding planner rolled into one. Kelly is very knowledgeable on all things wedding from suits to venues, flowers to decor. Kelly has an amazing eye for detail. Truly could not have planned our wedding without her! Our wedding pictures turned out amazing and we feel so lucky to have such fantastic photos. Kelly is a true professional!

ive her 1000 stars instead of 5 if you had that category!

creative eye is something my husband and I really valued when meeting with photographers. She was patient and so helpful when we requested to have our dog present during both the engagement session and wedding. Kelly really makes an effort to get to know you and your "love story". Definitely consider using Kelly !

, just shoot her a text and she will respond very quickly! When we first met with her, I felt that we just clicked and she could tell what our personalities were like and what the best way was to capture that in photos. I would recommend her to anyone and i am looking forward to booking with her for family pictures in the future!!

and capture beauty and emotion in everything ranging from macro shots of the venue to the smallest micro details. Her shots tell a complete story capturing the venue, accessories, key events, the food and guests...as well as...of course... the wedding party. She has somewhat of a take charge personality (becoming our much needed de facto wedding planner) with strong views on how best to orchestrate and capture "the best day of your lives". But is also sensitive to your preferences and interests and is always driven by delivering her clients the best experience, memories and portraits possible. The one concern that you may want to consider is that she is so good that she is extremely busy which can lead to a significant lead time before you receive the final edits, albums, etc. But the quality of her work is so exceptional that she is well worth the wait (and her not faint hearted fees). Highly recommended!

ate and in the world of weddings timelines are very important. Our bridal party and family were thankful to have her capture as many moments as possible prior to our wedding ceremony. She captured raw emotions and she simply stuns us with her talent. We have received so many complements on our photos (and our engagement photos) and we only have the sneek peeks! We are so excited to see what else you have for us Kelly!! Also, book the Birch Booth! So much fun people are raving about it! Xoxo Nicole and Ben

ecause she is the best. If you are looking at venue availability, check Kelly's dates first so you can work with her schedule. You will definitely want to use her! :)

ught our story to life. We were recently married and have only seen sneak peaks of our wedding day, but I am speechless! There isn't a word to describe the feeling. I can't imagine my wedding day without Kelly! Kelly worked tirelessly to ensure we (and our mothers!) will be able to relive our wedding day for years to come! I am grateful we were fortunate enough to have Kelly capture our love story!

has a bubbly, outgoing personality that made it easy for her to engage all wedding party and family members for those special day photos. She was gracious, meticulous, delightful, and polished for hours on end-all to ensure the bride,groom and their families had the photos they wanted! Thank you Kelly Birch! You captured the eventful day with passion and artistic excellence!!

to a little better from the last. I can't thank her enough for the remarkable job she has done. I have only seen a few sneak peaks of our recent wedding photos but they look absolutely breathtaking. She is hands down the best in the business! Thanks so much Kelly!

an old friend. She is so much more than a photographer - my husband and I connected with her right away, which is so important to have with someone who is going be capturing some of the most intimate moments of your life. Our love session and wedding day photos turned out so much better than we ever could have imagined and it's due in large part to Kelly's ability to make you feel comfortable. She is so thorough and takes the time to talk with you to make sure that you get exactly what you're looking for. Throughout the entire process, she explained everything so simply and even took a phone call from my husband's grandpa to talk about his good ol' days as a wedding photographer. You get so much more than a photographer with Kelly though. When she learned that we didn't have a firm timeline set, she worked with us to create one - from arriving at the venue, having everyone dressed, first dance, everything. Who does that?! She was absolutely invaluable in our wedding prep and the day of. I could go on and on and on but if you're looking for a photographer who is in this business because she actually really, really cares about capturing the moments most special to you and genuinely values the relationships she creates with her clients, then Kelly is without a doubt the best option. We love her!

hese photos will appreciated for years! Thank you Kelly!

n love. She has a style that is natural, and even when people are posed it still looks and feels comfortable. We booked her, and after our engagement photo session we became Kelly clients for life. She made everything fun, relaxed, and caught US in the pictures. Wedding photos were the same- she managed to not only capture the emotions of our wedding, but she captured the sweet, funny, crazy and everything in-between emotions of our family and wedding party. Now beyond the photos...Kelly made us feel like we were her only clients. She would check in, send ideas of things that fit the theme of the wedding we were going for, encouraged us to send her pictures of things we had picked out for the wedding, and shared in my giddiness when I finally found my wedding dress. I honestly believe she genuinely cares about her clients, which makes everything about working with her so effortless. Kelly is also organized, flexible, and open to many ideas. Bottom line: Kelly is great at her job and a wonderful person to work with!

e party and items at the venue. Thank you Kelly!

t, she makes it about the couple. I cannot recommend her enough! She does it all, from wedding pictures to graduation pictures. We will be seeking Kelly out for future projects and if you are the on the fence of what photographer to use for your event then look no further. We actually loved Kelly so much we made sure our venue and wedding night would work with her schedule. By the end of the night/the day of the wedding she felt like a part of our family, that is how amazing she is. As for her work, the pictures are breath taking. She will capture the experience within the pictures. She doesn't copy the traditional pictures that you see, she adds a unique spin to them that makes them YOUR picture! Kelly. Is. Amazing. Hands down, book her today!

aphy amazing but working with her behind all of that has been great. We still get compliments weekly on our photos. We would use her again if we need anymore photography services!

e photographs - the captured memories - the story you documented... STUNNING WORK. I could not have imagined a better result - such fun working with you!!!

wedding. We were blindsided and emotionally drained. Kelly stepped up to the plate to make sure he had a full presence at the wedding. We recommend Kelly hands down! Can't wait for her to take pictures of our future children!

fortable and not posed like most photos look. I am a scrapbooker so for me pictures are everything. I had very little direction when it came to what I wanted my wedding to look like, I had pictures in my head but couldn't describe them. Kelly told me if I ever had any questions I could ask and man did I ask. She has endless connections, most of them I used. I feel like she is now apart of my family and she has the biggest heart. I cannot thank this lady enough for my day being as perfect as it was and all the connections she put me into contact with. I Love You Kelly!

nd "I don't know" responses into beautiful memories that we couldn't have imagined ourselves. We are so thrilled with the results of her hard work and guidance - as are our friends and families. I highly recommend her. She's extremely talented and caring. You won't find anyone with a heart that big and such huge excitement for what your vision is. Just book her already! I promise you it'll be the best decision you make.... besides choosing your groom of course!

photographers over the years, but I have not seen someone like Kelly...she really cared for this couple and made their day so special. She was always available prior to the wedding and went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone. An excellent photographer!!

ive and was always available to answer our questions and give advice. On our wedding day, she was a calming presence which helped me and my husband be lost in the moment with together. She's given us a few sneak peaks of some photos and they are breathtaking, we can't get enough of them and are excited to see the rest! We feel so fortunate to have met Kelly and to have had such an incredibly talented, life-loving, fun photographer capture our day. She is irreplaceable and we look forward to her capturing more milestones in our life.

R day was taken care of. Thank You Kelly! We will always recommend you to our FAMILY&FRIENDS!!!!

ictures of certain moments because they were on breaks, and mostly just made us feel like we were their models. Great pictures, but we will always have that sour memory when we look at them. Kelly, however, was AMAZING. She did an amazing job of just fading into the background when it was the right time, and also knew exactly how to wrangle our family and friends to get the posed photos we needed over with. We felt like the stars and knew she wanted to help us capture my daughter's special day, and not just build her portfolio. The sneak peak pics have already brought tears to our eyes, and we can't wait to see the rest. She was a part of our wedding team that day and helped make sure everything ran smoothly!! We could not be happier that we hired her for the wedding, and we have already been telling others how fantastic the whole experience was. She knows the business but never makes you feel like you're just another wedding. Call Kelly-- you won't be disappointed!!

is it. She was kind but also firm directing some of the bridal party that had... started celebrating early. She has a clear artistic vision and was a wonderful calm presence the day of the wedding. She continually checked in with me to make sure that she was capturing the events and memories that my sister thought were the most important. I really appreciated that she knew how to delegate these tasks and keep the stress off of my sister on her important day. She knows exactly when to take charge and also when she should fade into the background and get those amazing candid pics. I cannot recommend her enough, and Facebook has already been freaking out at how lovely the preview images were!! I would give her 6+ stars if The Knot let me. THANK YOU!!

ave done our engagement photos and scheduled my "say yes to the dress" photos. She spent extra planning and photo taking time with us for our engagement photos and coordinated every stop along the way. She made it very fun and exciting and took us to different locations for engagement photos that I never could have thought of on my own! I am very excited to have her with us on our very special day and I know that my photos will be fabulous!! I would highly recommend Kelly to friends and family, and anyone who is looking for a photographer for their next special event!

dness. You made a point to know our needs and wants. As you walked through the entire process, you put us at ease. What I liked most Kelly, you are one of a kind, giving one of a kind pictures that captures the "true" meaning of what love is. There are 1000's of photographers, many that are not so helpful and personable in the wedding business. For this, we want you to know how special you are to us and wanted to let you know. We truly hope that all the kindness you put out is returned to you! We can only hope that this review begins to show you our enormous appreciation. Thank you for capturing the "true" us for our special day. We will cherish all the incredible photos that we can look back on for a lifetime. Personally I will be a walking billboard and highly recommend your services. We look forward using your services in the years to come. Again, Thank you Kelly!! Korey & Dan

?!?! Kelly took the time to learn what we wanted from a photographer, the style of photos we liked, and even went to the location of our wedding several times prior to our wedding day!!! Our wedding party was very large and Kelly did a fabulous job of not only capturing everyone in a large group, but she was also able to guide such a large group in a timely manner. I have gotten SO many compliments on our photos and even had several friends use Kelly after my wedding. You will not be disappointed in the products you get after your session with her! Thanks, Kelly!!!

special. She figures out those moments that make you perfect for your spouse and captures them. I had a huge list of must have pictures. Kelly got them all and more. She is all about making your day memorable and helps you take home a beautiful high quality album or wall art after the wedding day is long gone. She is so creative and truly LOVES what she is doing and you can see it in every shot. I highly recommend Kelly and do not think anyone could have done a better job at capturing my day.

y professional and efficient. Her finished products turn out incredible due to her great passion.

y wife and I. We look at her pictures of our big day all the time and it brings us right back to the day. If you need a photographer for your big day, or any other big events go with Kelly Birch!

es them with. She has so many creative and unique ideas. I highly recommend her to anyone, in any setting. I think her work speaks for itself, but I have no problem bragging about her to anyone that will listen.

her enthusiasm. Couldn't think of a person more personable. She has done many of my sons different photo's and my Granddaughters Senior pictures. Simply awesome.
