Kelly is absolutely fantastic in every aspect - from the planning stages, to capturing every moment throughout our wedding day, to providing us with the most beautiful photos from our day that we get to cherish forever - we couldn’t be more happy with deciding to choose Kelly as our wedding photographer! We decided to go with Kelly after she had beautifully captured my sister’s wedding two years prior (and she has also done photoshoots with my cousin’s family) so needless to say my family LOVES Kelly!!! She was our first vendor we booked, even before we secured our venue date because we didn’t want to miss out on her! Even in the beginning planning stages, she is SO responsive and helps you make those early decisions of choosing vendors. She helps you with putting together a timeline that makes sense for you and your vision and she follows that timeline to a tee! We did an engagement photoshoot with her and not only did we absolutely LOVE our photos, but we had such a great experience because Kelly is so welcoming and personable. After that photoshoot we were even more confident that she would beautifully capture the wedding - and she NAILED it! On our wedding day, she was amazing with fulfilling all photo requests and capturing those heart-warming, dynamic moments with family and friends. She has such an amazing eye for lighting and backdrops to make everything look so beautiful & bridal! She provided us with SO MANY photos that captured every moment, which has allowed us to relive the day over and over! Kelly was the best & easiest decision for us as she was so amazing to work with!!!
Having Kelly photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. I cannot begin to explain how happy we are with the photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
The photos from our wedding are absolutely breathtaking. Kelly expertly captured the natural beauty of the beach backdrop, seamlessly blending it with the intimate moments of our ceremony and reception. Our photos are light, airy and so romantic.. exactly what we wanted.
Kelly was punctual and well-organized, also incredibly personable and flexible, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. I truly felt like my husband and I were Kelly’s only focus and she ensured to get everything we would want to remember from our day.
If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can beautifully capture the magic of your wedding, I highly recommend Kelly Dillon. She made our special day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for the beautiful memories she has preserved for us.
Kelly is without a doubt a top-tier wedding photographer, and I cannot say enough good things about her. I used Kelly for both my engagement and wedding photos. From the minute I contacted her, she was terrific. During our initial phone call, she spent an hour+ going through all of the details of the wedding day and how she works. During our engagement photos she was friendly, funny, and made us feel comfortable, despite us being a couple who is not at all used to having our photo taken. Leading up to and during the wedding she was communicative and professional. Importantly, it doesn't matter that she is a single-shooter; she somehow managed to get all angles and reactions, without us even noticing that she was running around doing so. The final products are beautiful and we are excited to order prints for us and our families!
Kelly was absolutely awesome for my July wedding! I chose her because she has a very light and airy look to her photos that I love. She was super sweet, professional, and took all of the photos that we wanted! She also got the photos back to us super fast afterwards and they were stunning!
Kelly was absolutely amazing to work with. From our very first conversation I could tell she was very organized, detailed, and just great to work with. She created an entire timeline from getting ready to the end of the reception for our wedding day to make sure everything was organized and we were all on the same page. Throughout photos she was incredibly helpful keeping things moving and getting all the groups together for various shots. She captures the most elegant photos and really focuses on lighting to make sure the pictures are perfect. I cannot recommend Kelly enough, she really is amazing at what she does!!
Kelly is the absolute best. She was the very first vendor we booked. From our first convo, her professionalism and knowledge was incredible. Our pictures could not be anymore beautiful!! No detail was left out. We seriously could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day!!
Where do you begin with Kelly?! Kelly was the first vendor we booked and we couldn't have asked for a better first pick. From our first phone call it was clear that Kelly was a true professional with strong expertise and insight but also incredibly warm and personable. We had the pleasure of meeting Kelly at our engagement photo session in Plymouth and we left even more excited for our wedding day because we knew how much more time we would get to spend with Kelly. Leading up to the wedding day, Kelly planned our entire timeline seamlessly with every detail accounted for. On our wedding day, Kelly was timely and lead our very large bridal party while also being warm and friendly to all. Both of our families commented after how much they enjoyed having her with us for 8+ hours of the day! Beyond what a pleasure it was to work with her, Kelly's work is the beyond measure! Our photos are dream-worthy! We still cannot believe they are ours! Walking through our album, we truly felt like each moment, big & small, was captured and we now get to relive them again and again. Thank you Kelly for absolutely everything! We cannot wait to work with you again for our family someday!
Where do I even begin? Kelly was my wedding photographer in April at Briar Barn Inn and she was a dream! I was looking for a photographer who could capture light and airy photos and she made my dreams come true. My husband and I both do not feel super comfortable taking photos and she made us feel so safe and coached us through every pose! She was able to capture all the moments of our special day and to top it off she did it all on her own. We only had one photographer because we had a smaller wedding (about 65 people) and she was able to get every photo plus more that we wanted. She was so easy to work with. I would recommend Kelly to anyone getting married. She is truly so talented! Her photos will be in our life and our house forever. Thank you Kelly! We look forward to having you photograph our family in the future.
Kelly was such a joy to work with on our wedding day. Despite being the very first vendor we booked, we met her for the first time on our wedding day. It felt like running into an old friend! Kelly is personable and kind. She made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and provided just the right amount of direction. Kelly is organized, efficient and detail oriented. We took huge family shots with ease. Most importantly, Kelly is SO talented. We were drawn to her light, airy photos from the moment we started looking at wedding photographers. We gasped when she sent us sneak peek photos, and continue to be in awe of all of our photos. We could not be more grateful for all the moments and details Kelly captured. We will cherish them forever!
My husband and I loved working with Kelly. From day one, she was kind, professional, organized, and always got back to me as soon as possible with any questions I had leading up to the wedding day. Kelly was prompt and knew our location well (Chatham Bars Inn). She was quick to work with the staff and took charge of anything that needed to be done so that I could just enjoy the day. Kelly made my husband, myself, and both families feel very comfortable from the moment she joined us. We had a small, intimate wedding ceremony and by the end of the night she felt more like a guest than a vendor. We truly enjoyed having her a part of our day.
Kelly was prompt in delivering our pictures and they were stunning. We have received so many compliments on our photos which we will cherish forever. I highly recommend Kelly. You will be in the best of hands.
Kelly is more than a wedding photographer, she is a coordinator, planner and friend all in one! Kelly was the first vendor I reached out to when getting engaged because I knew I needer her on my wedding day. From the start, Kelly put me at ease by helping me create a timeline for the day. She helps move the day along seamlessly and we never felt rushed or behind schedule. All my bridesmaids commented on how easy Kelly made the photo process and have comfortable they felt with her. Kelly's photo's are absolutely amazing. They truly stand out from all the other wedding photos you come across. She is able to capture so many amazing moments. She finds stunning light and is able to showcase all the beauty into her pictures. I sometimes can't believe its me in the photos! We have received countless comments on how amazing our wedding pictures came out. I can't recommend Kelly enough for her amazing pictures and her day of ability to make sure all is running smoothly. She is the best!
Kelly is an extremely talented photographer. She captured the most perfect pictures on my wedding day. She knows all the right poses to guide you and your partner through so you can just be yourself and enjoy your day. She was so organized with timelines and kept everyone in line when it came to group photos. I’m so obsessed with my wedding pictures I can’t stop looking at them!!! Hire Kelly for your wedding you won’t regret it!
Kelly is truly the best photographer in the business. Not only does she take the most stunning pictures she also doubles as a day of wedding coordinator. A few qualities that make Kelly so incredible. She is detail-oriented. Kelly has done hundreds if not thousands of weddings, I can not tell you the number of small details she clued us into to make sure the wedding day went off without a hitch and was picture perfect. Kelly knows how to get the shot. From the first call, Kelly knew our venue, when and where the sun would set on our wedding day and where the best pictures would be taken (she told us all this on our intro call), which blew us away! Kelly is incredibly personable. On the wedding day, Kelly knew exactly how to set up shots to deliver an incredible end product and also knew how to blend into the background to let everyone enjoy the moment. This is an underrated skill that Kelly has mastered. Last Kelly is loved by every vendor. (this is a true sign you are working with the best of the best) We hired Kelly as our first vendor and everywhere we went other vendors would inquire about others on our wedding team, whenever we said Kelly Dillon instantly we were met with SHE IS THE BEST. My wife and I totally agree, Kelly highlighted our day in a way we could never have imagined, was a true professional from start to finish and someone we are lucky enough to now call a friend. Thank you Kelly for capturing lifelong memories for our family, you are truly incredible!
Kelly is an incredibly talented photographer! The photos she captured on our wedding day are incredible, and we are so happy we chose to work with her. The turnaround time was quick, and she made sure we got every single picture we wanted! The "golden hour" photos she took of me and my husband are stunning. She's also super nice and down to earth, and made taking the photos enjoyable! We could not have been happier with Kelly - highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!
We chose Kelly as our photographer after looking at the photos on her website and loving the bright, airy, cheerful vibes. She was slightly more expensive than other photographers I had looked at, but I can't stress enough that she's worth every cent!!
We had our wedding during the pandemic and had to reschedule once, cut the guest list to a fraction of what we had, and re-plan everything. Kelly was so helpful in setting up day-of timelines (multiple times since we had to reschedule) and working with us to make sure we would get the most perfect photos possible.
When we received our photos we were blown away by how beautiful they were. The color and quality are unreal. She even understood our love of our dogs and got some amazing shots of them that we've framed around the house. I wish I could give Kelly an extra star for hiking down the cliff at White Cliffs with us since the tram wasn't running due to wind, and we really wanted to get photos on the beach! We all got a good workout going down and back up the stairs of the cliff, carrying our dogs and the back of my dress, but we got amazing photos on the beach in return.
Don't hesitate to book Kelly, her photos are the absolute best.
Incredible photos! And so fun and easy to work with.
Kelly was honestly the first vendor I chose because I LOVED her work and it was the best wedding decision I made. I can’t recommend her enough!
Some highlights: we did an engagement shoot which was in Plymouth and it was wonderful. Kelly proactively reached out to change the date due to heavy rain in the forecast. My husband is the guy who rolls his eyes every time I ask him to take a picture and he admitted he had fun at the shoot. She definitely made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her lighting is AMAZING. And as far as our wedding day, she was a total super star. She helped me put together my wedding timeline and had us fill out a survey so she knew what was important to us to capture. She was very prompt and professional and fun but also stern when she needed to be. We had great feedback from our wedding party too (even the guys) that they all loved her which I believe helped make our photos so genuine and beautiful.
I don't know where to begin with this review! We are truly so so happy that Kelly was available to capture our minimony in June. Our wedding was affected due to Covid and we had to postpone our big, NJ wedding to next year . Our photographer for that wedding is NJ based so we had to quickly find a new photographer! I found Kelly through the Knot and instantly was drawn to her photography. You need to check out her website!
Kelly was great at responding to emails and answering questions . She helped me form a timeline that worked and that gave us time to take pictures on the boardwalk in Sandwich,MA .
Even though we only had 14 people at the wedding , we still had to rally them all to take pictures! Kelly was focused and got everyone together . Kelly was awesome at getting our formal pictures in a timely matter. And stuck closely to our timeline. She made sure that we had all the combinations possible.
She got our wedding pictures to us in about a week or so ? It was quick and I wasn't expecting that. I thought at least a month ! and boy oh boy ! they are stunning ! I love them so much . I literally couldn't decide which ones to post or print because I loved so many of the photos she took. My husband said , "That's a good problem to have!". All my family members loved the photos and said Kelly was amazing .
I know my review is scattered and all over the place but to finish off : Kelly is amazing and I am so lucky she was available so last minute .
Kelly is more than just a photographer. She is a true artist! She shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos. We plan on continuing to go to her for any other memorable moments we want documented!
Kelly is extremely organized, very approachable, responsive, kind, helpful, and truly enjoys what she does. She is professional and does not mess around when it comes to making sure she can get the perfect shot for your memory books! If you are someone who feels nervous getting their pictures taken have no fear, because Kelly helps make you feel comfortable and guides you through how to get the perfect shot without it feeling unnatural. Her natural light techniques produce gorgeously rich photos and she is extremely knowledgeable on how to use the light in whatever space she is.
Our wedding was drastically affected by the COVID19 pandemic and Kelly was extremely understanding, flexible, and helpful during such a stressful time. I cannot thank her enough for helping save our wedding day and for her professionalism. She went above and beyond in the weeks up to and during our wedding. She also ensured we ran on time the day of so we could make it to the beach for our sunset photos! We cannot wait to relive our special day through her work framed on the walls of our home :)
We cannot recommend Kelly more for all she did leading up to, and during, our wedding day. We have said to multiple people that Kelly was so much more than just a wedding photographer. She was more like a Day-Of Coordinator with the way she kept us on time, making sure we knew when we needed to go somewhere, what we needed to bring, where we needed to go next, etc! Her attention to detail is AMAZING. Even down to the little things like always making sure the guys had their hands in their pocket, that everyone’s hair was just right. Small details, but that coupled with her unique bright and airy style has resulted in amazing photography that we will cherish forever.
Kelly is responsive, knowledgeable, and extremely easy to work with. You will be so glad that you chose her for your wedding day.
Hiring Kelly to be your wedding photographer is a no-brainer! Her photos are gorgeous and she is a pleasure to work with! Kelly is extremely kind, professional, and organized. She was very helpful at guiding us on how to structure the timeline for the day and we never felt rushed or stressed. We were rather nervous about being in the spotlight in front of the camera, but Kelly put us at ease and made our photos look so natural. She works magic with lighting, captures details, and the photos are just stunning. We love looking through them and remembering the joy of the day! Choosing Kelly to capture your special event is a decision you won't regret!
Kelly was incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with. From the early planning stages, we knew we were in great hands- from the engagement shoot to the day of the wedding, she made everything super easy. Kelly was so helpful the day of the wedding especially because we had a large wedding party (9 bridesmaids & groomsmen, 4 flower girls) and large families. She did a terrific job of making sure things were moving so that we could get through our portraits quickly while also taking the time to get the shots just right. Our pictures came out better than we could have imagined! She is amazing at what she does & we would highly recommend her.
The photos speak for themselves, but Kelly Dillon is absolutely the best photographer out there.
We hired Kelly for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding day and she was the only vendor that I never had to worry about. After minutes of meeting her for our engagement shoot she made us feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day she was there before the sun making sure everyone stayed on the tight schedule she made and got every detail shot possible. She was extremely accommodating as well; we insisted on bringing our cats to our wedding and she knew how important it was for us to get photos with them.
She took hundreds (600+) of photos on our wedding day and there isn't a single photo I don't absolutely love - not to mention her bright airy filters are stunning and timeless. There isn't a photographer out there that does it better. She doesn't miss a single shot. We're so lucky to re-live our wedding day through the amazing photos she took.
Kelly did our wedding back in June and I cannot even put into words how amazing my photos came out. I am blown away at the quality and timeless class they present. We are obsessed with her style of photo and it fit our wedding perfectly. On our wedding day we had a bit of rain coming our way and we had to cram the family/bridal party photos into a short timeframe; Kelly was amazing at getting everyone in order and making sure we got every single family photo in. We had so much fun with her!!
Kelly was the first wedding vendor I hired, even before having a date or a venue!! I had been admiring her photos for quite a while and I knew she was exactly who I wanted to take my wedding and engagement photos! Her photos really stand out, as she pays such close attention to the lighting and detail. Throughout the entire process she was fantastic, planning a wedding is a stressful experience to say to the least and she was so organized and helpful and kept me right on track. She even sent me a list of vendors she has worked with in the past, which was so helpful!! On the wedding day she was absolutely fantastic, she was able to keep myself and my fairly large bridal party right on schedule, without her I don’t think we would have made it to the wedding on time!! She’s the best and you’ll have amazing photos to admire for a lifetime. Highly recommend Kelly!!
There are not enough words that I can say about how much I love Kelly. She was the perfect choice for photographer for our September wedding. She not only captured stunning photos of our special day, but she was able to capture the personalities of all our loved ones and the feeling of love and joy throughout the day. Kelly was kind, courteous, and quick and receptive to all of our questions leading up to our wedding day. We were grateful to have her photograph our engagement photos earlier in the year because it really showed us a sneak preview of how she works and we were able to build a strong relationship and rapport with her ahead of time. We are forever grateful for the memories she captured for us! And we recommend her to any and all people that are lucky enough to work with her!!
Hiring Kelly was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Kelly got every single shot that was important to us, and we could tell how much she really cared about the quality of her work. Kelly worked very well with all our vendors and the overall look of the photos are phenomenal. Her warm and colorful look takes us back to the best day of our lives. I could not recommend Kelly more!
Kelly is a truly gifted and talented photographer. Words cannot express the gratitude that my husband and I feel towards Kelly for creating unforgettable photographs from our wedding day. From day one, we knew Kelly would create amazing photos and she did not disappoint! Her eye for lighting and capturing the sweetest moments make Kelly’s photography one of a kind! Kelly was so professional and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was so organized and helped us to create a personal wedding day timeline that was flawless. My husband and I were amazed at how quickly we received our edited photos back (within a week!). We have received endless compliments from our family and friends on our wedding photos and we have Kelly to thank for that! - Melissa & Tim
Wow, what can I say! Kelly is an amazing photographer. We had a raining wedding day and I was so worried about how our photos would look but Kelly exceeded our expectations. When I saw our photos I wanted to cry. I could not believe how beautiful they were and what a fantastic job Kelly did at depicting our special day. Kelly is a true professional, she captured every single special moment plus more. She kept us on schedule and helped us pose (we had never taken professional photos before) and I am so grateful. If you are looking for someone top notch, look no further Kelly IS #1!
Kelly is the nicest person ever! I hate having my picture taken and no one has ever made me feel more comfortable, she’s so fun and easy to talk to and an overall great person. By far my favorite vendor of my wedding day. Everyone raves about my pictures and wants to know who took them. She’s a phenomenal photographer and an amazing person, look no further!
Kelly is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding along with our engagement. She is so very talented which is evident from her beautiful photos. Kelly is an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured everything and so much more down to the small details which brings us right back to all of the beautiful moments throughout the day. We receive so many compliments on our photos and can’t speak highly enough of Kelly! We would definitely recommend Kelly Dillon for your wedding!!
Hiring Kelly was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding - she is absolutely amazing! Her photos speak for themselves, but in addition to her obvious talent, she is extremely organized and it was SO helpful that she was able to wrangle our large and somewhat unruly group of family and friends. I didn't have a wedding planner, and hadn't realized what an important role Kelly would play in making sure our day went smoothly. Equally incredibly, she sent our edited photos to us in under a month! I was in a wedding once where the bride didn't get her photos back for a year, so I was very nervous about the turnaround time, but yet again Kelly exceeded expectations. After all the excitement of the big day, it's so amazing to get your photos back and relive it all over again. I honestly can't recommend Kelly enough, and am already thinking of when we can hire her again next!
Kelly is hands down AMAZING! My husband and I hired Kelly for our engagement & wedding photos. She was the first vendor I booked even before my venue! I feel like a lot of wedding photos all look the same but Kelly's attention to lighting and detail seriously are the type of photos you want to look at in a magazine. My friends and family cannot stop raving about her! Not only is her work beautiful but her personality makes you feel like you've known her forever! She doesn't play around when it comes down to her work on the wedding day but does so in the best way possible, which I loved! She kept us right on schedule. She even got our photos to us within a couple weeks! You won't regret hiring her as your photographer :) We hope to work with her again in the near future!
We are so happy we chose Kelly to photograph our wedding. My husband and I got married in August on the cape and Kelly did an outstanding job. She was able to capture our personalities perfectly and we couldn't be happier with all the photos. Thank you, Kelly! You an an amazing gift!
Kelly is simply the BEST! Our wedding was in April and we still have family and friends commenting on our pictures, not only from our wedding but our engagement shoot! Kelly helped us to plan our day-of details/timeline, engagement pictures and made our wedding day photography a breeze! I love Kelly's attention to detail, understanding of trends and artistic perspective. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming, Kelly truly went above and beyond to ensure that our every need was met and understood. My husband and I both felt such comfort the day of our wedding knowing that Kelly was by our side to guide us through our big day. I will cherish our wedding pictures forever thanks to our girl, Kelly!
My husband and I got married this past May, and choosing Kelly as our photographer was the best decision we ever made! Her photographs are a true work of beauty and the way she uses lightening is heavenly. She captured every emotion on the day of our wedding without us even knowing she was there. Her down to earth, bubbly personality makes you feel as if you've known her forever making it incredibly comfortable for both my husband and I during our first look and throughout the day. To any brides out there thinking of doing one and are hesitant, it was the best decision we ever made! Kelly had our full edited gallery back to us in such short time I almost couldn't believe it! I highly recommend Kelly Dillon Photography to all brides out there, I would choose her over and over again and we cannot thank her enough for the love and memories that my husband and I have to cherish for a lifetime!
Kelly was so wonderful! We could not be happier with how our pictures turned out. Not only that, but she said that her lead time is usually a month or two and she got them to us in 2 weeks! What a rock star :) Thank you Kelly!!!
Kelly is everything and more when it comes to your wedding. She is incredibly flexible and an absolute joy on such an important day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and kept us laughing the entire time. Kelly captures moments in a way that when you look back at your photos you are immediately taken back to how you felt in that moment. She truly captured who we are as a couple- every glance, every smile, every emotion. We can not speak highly enough of Kelly Dillon and have received so many compliments on our wedding photos!
Kelly is truly talented. Despite the pouring rain and wind, Kelly still managed to capture the most beautiful pictures on our wedding day. Her ability to work with the right lighting and make each picture tell a story is what really sets her a part from other photographers. She also knows how to make each photo look natural and romantic. My husband and I were very happy with how our pictures came out, really a dream come true!
I'm not sure where I first saw Kelly's work, but I knew from the moment I saw it, she had to be our wedding photographer. Kelly is so knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. She worked with us to customize a package based on our budget and needs which is so kind of her. Not only does she photograph your wedding, she recommends amazing vendors and can even help guide you with outfit choices and engagement shoot/wedding day tips and tricks. Kelly is truly an artist. She does everything she can to ensure you have the pictures that you want. Everyone that has seen our photos has commented on how well they capture the day and their sheer beauty. I look at our engagement photos and now our wedding photos and I am immediately transported right back to that day. Kelly, thank you for capturing our day and creating memories that will be shared for years to come. We plan hiring Kelly for all of our photography needs in the future - she is THE BEST!
Kelly Dillon Photography is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Our photographs completely exceeded our expectations and have me in tears every time I look through the slide show. Kelly Dillon is the most talented photographer and truly owns her craftsmanship. She is an absolute doll, but is also professional and ensures that no moment goes undocumented. Her photographs of the day tell a beautiful love story and we are so grateful for her.
Kelly, we've loved you since our engagement shoot and our wedding photographs are a dream. We cherish your hard work; and now we have these memories for a lifetime.
If you're searching for a wedding photographer, look no further than Kelly Dillon Photography.
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Michael Pritchard :-)
Kelly is amazing! Though it was quite luck that I stumbled upon her website, it was meant to be! She has a true talent and was awesome to work with from the very beginning. From our engagement photos to the wedding day she was always so calm working with us to get just the right shot (which I am sure we were annoying at times). She can capture some amazing photos to say the least! We were so lucky to find her and I cannot be any happier on how all our wedding photos turned out. Each and every one brings me back to all those special moments of our day, that we have captured forever thanks to her! You will not go wrong choosing her!
Overall REALLY happy with Kelly! No regrets! Kelly was very professional and timely in delivering the photos. Our wedding pictures truly are a works of art and even ended up on the wedding blog Style Me Pretty.
A couple slight missteps on ALL of our parts was not getting a picture of our 2 families combined and it was a bit sunny for some of our family members to take pictures outside (eyes squinted). I wish we had taken a couple family photos inside and kept a printed list of desired photos. All of this could have been rectified by having a first look or taking pictures prior to the ceremony, which Kelly recommended. My husband was adamant that he didn't want to see me. Oh well...we'll just have to hire her for another photo session!
Very thankful that we selected Kelly and got to work with her!
My husband and I hired Kelly Dillon to photograph our wedding for our big day last August. I had been following her blog for a couple of years and I was absolutely in love with her beautiful photos and romantic style. Kelly makes every wedding she shoots look like it could be featured in a magazine. Needless to say having her shoot our wedding was high on my priority list. Despite my high expectations, Kelly's gorgeous shots of our day exceeded them! She captured the most lovely moments and details, from my husband's face as I walked down the aisle, to ring bearer's custom converse sneaks, to the way my father looked at me during our dance. I planned our wedding on my own, and in many ways Kelly played the role of wedding planner! She gave me some wonderful insight about the timeline for the day, and talked me off a ledge as the wedding day got closer and I started to freak out about the possibility of rain. On our wedding day she was professional, efficient and a really lovely presence to have around. She stayed on top of everyone during "crunch time" for family and bride/groom portraits so that we stayed on schedule and were able to enjoy our cocktail hour. Then during the reception, she backed off and just let the magic happen, and she really captured all the greatest moments of the evening. As time passes, I've found that in many ways it's your wedding photography that shapes your memories of the day. I highly recommend Kelly Dillon to turn your wedding into beautiful memories that you can revisit for the rest of your happily ever after- you will not regret it!
Kelly did an amazing job on our wedding photos. My husband and I are so very awkward in public displays of affection, somehow Kelly worked with us and our photos are absolutely phenomenal :). Kelly gets everything done that you want photos of and more! She is ready to work from the moment she steps in the room! She is very clear and focused and I loved that about her. We are so happy with our photos that we will have forever and will remember our special day in a wonderful light because of her work. I felt comfortable with her and she was a delight to spend time with on our big day!
Kelly Dillon's work truly speaks for itself. I was introduced to her photography skills via her multiple features on Style Me Pretty, and I knew even prior to being engaged that I wanted her to photograph my wedding. Kelly was the very first vendor I booked, and I am so grateful she had my date available. It truly was the best wedding related decision I made. Kelly is not only professional, but warm, engaging and SO knowledgeable. From suggesting our engagement location, to recommending where to shoot our first look and formals, we placed her trust in her expertise from the beginning and never looked back. Her way with lighting was simply beyond words, and she was able to capture the emotions of our day in a truly unobtrusive photojournalistic approach. We didn't even book a videographer because we knew Kelly's work would suffice in capturing memories from the day. We are currently working on developing a beautiful album with her that we will absolutely cherish forever. In addition to her professional work, she is so incredibly sweet and my husband and I hit it off with her immediately. We felt like we had known her forever just after an hour long engagement session! She's the type of person you want by your side during your wedding day!
If you are trying to decide on whether or not to have Kelly Dillon as your wedding photographer, please take my advice and hire her! Kelly is absolutely amazing at what she does - I don’t know that my review will be able to do her justice. Not only is she a joy to be around, but also her work is just phenomenal. Kelly has a really sweet and humorous way of being directive and giving instructions during group photos, which enables her to get the beautiful group shots that she does. She also has a way about not even being noticed while she is out and about capturing beautiful candid shots of moments that might otherwise be forgotten. When I look through the photos Kelly took of my wedding, I truly feel like I am reliving my wedding day – and that is something I am so thankful for. From the moment I first chatted with her on the phone, I felt comfortable and at ease – she is a very easy person to get along with. You can also just tell that Kelly really loves her job… It shows in the time she spends with her clients as well as the quality of her photos. Another important topic - My husband and I are both very camera shy… we don’t do well with having our photo taken. This is something we were dreading, but Kelly managed to make this part of our wedding fun, casual, and stress free. Kelly also published a heartfelt post on her blog with her favorite pictures from our wedding (as soon as only one week after our wedding!!), which was so nice to be able to share with our family and friends. To wrap this up - I am so very glad that we chose Kelly to be our wedding photographer. Not only do we have so many outstanding photos from our special day, but we also gained a true friend – by the end of the night she had joined us on the dance floor and I was begging her to stay! Thank you so much, Kelly!!!
Kelly was our photographer for our wedding day and engagement portraits. I would highly recommend her – not only is she incredibly talented, she is sweet, funny and a joy to spend time with! My now husband and I knew she was the perfect fit for us when we met her for our engagement session. She was very communicative and organized leading up to our wedding, and helped put together a timeline to keep our wedding day running smoothly. She was relaxed, fun, and professional on the day-of, and my family even commented how great she was at organizing our large group photos efficiently and with a smile. On top of all that, we have absolutely gorgeous photos of our day! So many special candid moments that I didn’t even notice are now beautifully documented for years to come. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Thanks you Kelly!!
Kelly is this perfect mix of this cheerful, sweet, laughing woman and an absolute drill sergeant, and I mean that in the best way possible. She is so easy to talk to, and I consider her a friend now. She made us feel at ease, joked around with us, and laughed rather than scolded us when we repeatedly messed up shots (it is more difficult than you think to link arms, kiss lightly with a good tilt, and walk at the same time without tripping over your dress). She is also no nonsense, and my guess is she gets ten incredible pictures for every other photographer's one. My friends complimented her efficiency - they've been to weddings where the photographer timidly asks the wedding party to put down their drinks or cannot speak up to get guests out of the background of pictures. Not with Kelly! My cousin took off running when he accidentally placed himself behind a beautiful photograph with rolling hills behind us. Her level of organization was also very helpful. I said to friends and family that Kelly is half photographer, half wedding planner.
Her pictures are stunning, surreal, and ethereal (we also got them in under a month from the wedding). I have received so many messages saying our pictures are unbelievable. We've never looked so good in our lives! She also captured so many sweet moments. You would think there are three of her... I still can't figure out how she got pictures of me walking down the aisle and my husband watching me at the same time. She seemed to be everywhere at once but was not intrusive at all. We absolutely love her style. She completely got the look we were hoping for - light, happy, carefree, cheerful. Kelly, you are beyond talented. You certainly chose the right field!! We didn't request any specific shots, and we didn't need to, since she captured exactly what I wanted.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and hope she can shoot many of our friends' weddings. We plan to get in touch with her for future family pictures, too. I HIGHLY recommend her. You will not regret it! Thanks, Kelly!!
There are dozens of reasons to recommend Kelly as a wedding photographer. She's a genuinely lovely person who immediately puts people at ease while being incredibly professional at the same time. Parents adore her. New husbands relax around her and have fun taking posed photographs (we had no idea this was possible). She figures out what you want and then quietly goes about making it happen for you, without fuss. She's both practical and artistic. And her photos are a reflection of all of this- we love ours so much. Actually I think I'll go back and look at them now :)
Kelly was absolutely wonderful to have as our wedding photographer! She is responsive and listens to what YOU want for your photos (for example, I wanted a lot of candids). She made great recommendations as far as locations, timing of the day, and really kept us on schedule for everything. She takes control when it's time to shoot and told everyone where they needed to be, what to do, etc. And that was especially helpful for me and my husband as far as posing and what to do in front of the camera. The end result was beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever. My husband specifically said after the wedding that Kelly was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Highly recommended.
Kelly is an amazingly talented photographer who not only takes beautiful photographs but has an uncanny ability to catch the most intiment and beautiful moments of a wedding. Kelly was literally everywhere at the wedding - capturing every detail - and yet made her self invisibile and unintrusive to guests. This made for some great candid shots! One of the best parts about having Kelly as a photographer was that my husband and I actually had fun taking photographs. I have always found posing for photographs to be a bit uncomfortable but our awkwardness that comes with posing for photographs became a silly and fun experience that somehow created amazing photos! Thanks to Kelly's kindness and direction my husband and I had a blast our entire wedding day - even taking photographs. Kelly is so talented - her ability to pick places with the right light and the best backdrops is unbelievable. But I truely believe that part of the reason her photographs come out so great is how kind and how much fun she has with her clients.
Kelly Dillon was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! We could not have been more happy with our selection of a photographer. First of all, Kelly was extremely kind and personable when we first had a phone consultation with her. She was warm and friendly, which made us very comfortable with moving forward. Secondly, Kelly kept in touch just enough leading up to our wedding day. She neither asked us a million questions, nor remained completely silent until our wedding day. We quickly trusted her. The day of, Kelly was prompt, organized, and efficient. She was forthright with our wedding party and helpful in getting our very large wedding party to work together. I even had two of my bridesmaids comment that they wished their photographers for their weddings were more like Kelly! She was kind to our families, and made kept everyone on schedule. We were absolutely thrilled with the results! We had our pictures much faster than we could ever have hoped - and they were STUNNING! She really did an amazing job. We are so thankful to have hired her. If you are considering Kelly Dillon for your wedding, don't wait! Book her now!
Kelly was such a pleasure to work with; we couldn't be more pleased with our engagement and wedding photos! Her work is incredible, and she is sweet, fun, and very professional. I'm generally shy about having my picture taken, but Kelly made me feel really comfortable. We can't wait for another excuse to have photos done by Kelly! Highly recommend!
Throughout the planning process, my husband and I knew that photography would be the most important part. Apart from memories, photos are the only thing that we have to preserve and share that special day. So, we searched long and hard for the perfect photographer, and it was very clear when we found her. Other photographers had portfolios with plenty of good pictures, but they always had their share of lackluster pictures as well. Kelly Dillon was the only vendor where every single picture was perfect. This isn't an exaggeration; go see for yourself! Her photography is artwork!
When we met Kelly for the first time, we could not be more pleased to discover that that such a talented photographer was also one of the sweetest people ever! She was such a pleasure to work with in every way - very professional, very responsive, and dedicated to getting to know each of her clients and finding out exactly what they want from their photos.
We did both our engagement shoot as well as our wedding photos with Kelly. At the engagement shoot, we knew of a few pictures that we wanted to get, but other than that, we didn't know what to do. Kelly was prepared for this and provided us with excellent guidance for each shot. We had such a blast! Also, her technical ability with her cameras is superb, as is her post-shoot editing skills, enabling her to capture the perfect light in each shot.
At our wedding, she didn't miss a beat. She got every shot that we could have wanted, and then much more. Also, when it was time to get family and extended family shots (you know how hard those can be), she was very effective and efficient and helped everything move along smoothly.
I could go on and on about Kelly, but in the end, the proof is in her product. She's not the cheapest photographer, nor is she the most expensive, but she is by far the best VALUE of any photographer out there. For something so priceless, there's absolutely no comparison.
Thank you so much Kelly!!

My search ended for a photographer when I found Kelly Dillon. Her quality and artistic ability alone was enough to convince me she was the perfect person to capture our wedding memories forever. Then when we met on the day of the wedding I knew she was special. The detail and quality of Kelly’s work is impeccable. Her patience, professionalism, drive and vision were the exact ingredients we needed. The way she used the lighting and was able to capture everyone’s emotions was truly magical. I cannot stop looking at all the breathtaking pictures that engrave these wonderful moments. We also appreciated the fast-turn around on the proofs and have already received so many compliments. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful that they were selected to be featured in Southern New England Weddings magazine! Kelly was definitely the best vendor decision we made at our wedding.
I can not say enough about Kelly Dillon. She was so fun and easy to work with and her work speaks for herself. I am obsessed with our wedding photography, they are truly timeless and something we can cherish for the rest of my life. Kelly is organized, on time, friendly and extremely talented and creative. My husband and I are not the most photogenic people and with Kelly's direction our photos turned out beautifully! Thank you Kelly!
Simply put, Kelly takes breathtaking photos! She has the rare ability to capture raw emotion in her candid shots as well as being able to successfully shoot posed portrait shots. Many of our weddings guests commented on the fact that they were never distracted by a photographer during the ceremony and reception, which we appreciated. We also were delighted by how quickly she was able to turn around our photos - all 700+ were edited before we were even back from our honeymoon! And, if that wasn't enough, she released a blog post several days afterward as a teaser so we could start sharing with our families and friends.
We would absolutely recommend Kelly to anybody who is looking for a talented photographer.
We could not be happier with our experience with Kelly. In addition to her talent and tremendous eye for capturing the moment, she has a very calming energy that helps keep you relaxed on your big day. Hands down, she is worth every penny... and more! Going in to the big day, we told Kelly we really wanted her to focus more on the dancing/candid photos versus the portrait shots- and she did just that! She is a great listener that puts her clients' wants and wishes first. She is such a fantastic person, I can't wait to work with her again when we start a family:)
Right off the bat Kelly was so responsive and organized - she made the planning process so easy. I had NO clue about the typical agenda of a wedding and she walked us through everything. When she showed up on the big day, a very happy bundle of energy (yet chill and easy going..), I was so thankful to have her! she was very efficient about getting all the important photos in (my groom and I were very distracted and excited and she worked right around us) and they came out so well - we've gotten so many compliments on all the shots she captured. we are so psyched :) love you Kelly!
Kelly did my wedding in September of this year. My husband and I knew that we wanted something different and unique when it came to the photography of our wedding. We couldn't have been happier with what she did. She was super easy to work with and made sure every pose was perfect. Our photos came out amazing! We have gotten so many compliments on her work. She did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
We first found Kelly through my sister in law, a former classmate of Kellys', who gave her very high praise. We thought we'd give it a try getting Kelly down to NYC, and we're so glad we did...she did such a FANTASTIC job with our intimate NYC wedding, we were absolutly blown away by our pictures! She captured our whole day, from the city streets, to the park, to the enormous church, back for night shots on the streets (remarkable pictures) and at 5am the next morning back to the park! Not only was she a trooper, but she lead the way, because she knows what it takes to get you what you want. We often wish she came out to California to shoot our destination wedding as well! Kelly has such an important ease about her - when she first got to my parents apartment it felt as if we'd known her forever and then as the evening got started it seemed as if we didn't see her at all...she seemlessly transitioned from giving direction for portraits to just capturing a whole moment in the background (of a wedding with 20 people). My husband and I will be forever grateful for the memories Kelly put together for us. She really has a way of capturing the sentiment and beauty in the evening that truly makes it feel like it was just yesterday. Thank you so much Kelly!
Kelly was the first vendor I spoke with after getting engaged. I had been looking at her pictures for a few months and knew immediately that I wanted her to capture the special moments of our wedding day. Kelly did an amazing job with both our engagement wedding shots. We get so many compliments on our beautiful pictures, we have even been told 'we wish we knew about her when we/our son/daughter got married!'. She is talented, professional, and you will leave the experience feeling like she is a friend not just another vendor. I can't wait for my husband and I to have something else to celebrate so we can call her for more pictures!
The experience was so good all around, I'm not sure where to begin, so I'll just start from the beginning...
After deciding to get married on somewhat short notice (or at least in the world of weddings), and after extensive research my wife knew that Kelly's pictures were the best she'd seen and so we contacted her and we were fortunate to be able to have her available thanks to our Friday wedding date. We ended up meeting with her the week of our wedding and she was able to really guide us through the process and make us feel incredibly comfortable about choosing her.
On the day of the wedding she came early and got fantastic shots. She also handled getting our talking/wandering/excited family members into the family pictures seamlessly and quickly. Then when it came to our wedding shots, not only were the quality of her photos incredible (which I'm sure you've already noticed) Kelly's ideas for poses/locations for photos are incredible. All of our favorite photos were poses and locations were things we would have never thought about..which is saying something since we got married on my wife's aunt's horse farm! On top of that, we heard from a number of people that the pictures looked like they came from a magazine...I assure you, me being told that I look like I could be in a magazine is never something I thought I would hear!
Literally the NEXT DAY Kelly had already posted on her blog with some sneak peak shots and about a week after that we had our full photos provided to us on a link that we could share with our whole family. Also, Kelly gives you the full right to use your pictures on Facebook and to have them printed either through her or on your own...something that can cost extra with other photographers.
I could go on forever, but all I can say is HIRE KELLY. There is no question, she is the best photographer around.
Below is a link to our pictures on Kelly's blog which my wife and I couldn't be more proud to share (and isn't that what it's all about anyway?)

Kelly did an AMAZING job on my wedding photos. She was super easy to work with leading up to the wedding ... always answering emails within a day or two, and never left a question unanswered. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and prepared. She started taking photos immediately ... she knew exactly what to do! Kelly is so extremely friendly, she made it easy to instantly feel comfortable with her. She was constantly working, but made it easy on my husband and I ... other than the few minutes of taking portraits after the ceremony, we barely even knew she was there - she needed no direction from us, she knew exactly what to do, and when to do it. The photos she took are beautiful. They are the perfect mixture of traditional and modern - she gave us the timeless photos that made our parents and grandparents happy, but also gave us the more artistic, creative pictures that my husband and I wanted!! She did a fantastic job, and we could not be happier!
I studied photography in college, so finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was a priority for me. Kelly absolutely exceeded my expectations. She was great to work with, 100% professional, warm, friendly, flexible, organized, knowledgeable, and extremely talented.
Her photographs feature gorgeous light and smart compositions. She captured the spirit of our wedding day with ease... from documenting the ceremony, reception, decorations and details to directing my husband and me through a beautiful sequence of portrait shots. Her photographs of our guests are wonderful. She caught whimsical, funny, and touching moments in photographs that I'll treasure forever. Thank you, Kelly!
Kelly Dillon is AMAZING. I admit when I first met her, I was surprised by her age because her work is so beautiful and truly emanated years of experience.
Kelly was always quick to respond to my emails, she worked within my price range and she was very professional. I had the link to all my gorgeous wedding photos as well as the dvd with the images within 3 weeks of my wedding! I was getting my photo's back at the same time friends who were married a month or more before me! I have not been able to stop viewing them because they are so incredible. Her shots are original and do an amazing job of capturing the moment! I have had so many compliments on my pictures. I could not be more happy with Kelly's work.
We chose Kelly Dillon as our wedding photographer because we loved the look and feel of her photos. She was extremely easy to work with and was very supportive of making the day how we had envisioned it. Her photos are art and she made us look amazing. We will definitely use her again for the many milestones or our life!
Outstanding! Very professional and talented! Received edited photos within 2 weeks of the wedding. Went above and beyond for the engagement photos and wedding photos.
I had a very hard time finding a photographer who I felt fit exactly what we were looking for, until we met with Kelly from Kelly Dillon Photo! She was so easy to work with, her prices fit our budget and her style of photography is exactly what we had always envisioned. We not only used her for our wedding, but also our engagement session, and I am so glad we did because they all came out so beautiful! The best think about Kelly is that she made my husband, who HATES taking photos for even 5 minites, feel comfortable and excited about taking photos for an entire wedding day! She gives you great ideas and direction without being obtrusive. It was honestly like she wasnt even there, yet she managed to capture the most sincere and happy moments of our life! If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further because Kelly is it!
I cant even begin to explain how amazing my photos came out! Kelly did such a great job! Before the wedding she was easy to get ahold of and was very prompt for our meetings. She even called me a couple days before the wedding to see how i was doing! The day of the wedding she showed up early and ready to take pictures. And she took tons of them, and we recieved our pictures a couple weeks after! I loved the way kelly used the natural light in our photos and that they were mostly candid! I look forward to using her again for more photos! We even recently found out that our pictures may be featured in a bridal magazine! Now that says alot about how great Kelly's pictures are. what bride wouldnt wanna be in a magazine?
It was very important for me to write a review of Kelly Dillon on theknot.com – because this is where I was introduced to her and I want other brides to have the same amazing experience that I have had! There were a lot of wonderful things I thought to write about Kelly after my recent engagement photo shoot - she is a kind person, she has a happy spirit, she made me and my fiancé (who HATES having his picture taken) feel very relaxed and comfortable, she made the day fun and special, and above all else she is an amazing photographer. However, after viewing the slideshow she put together and the proofs of the images she captured on that day, writing those things just doesn’t seem to do her justice. So, instead of using my words I though I would share what our close friends and family had to say when they got their first glimpse of what Kelly captured on that day:
OMG these are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen...no lie, you could seriously sell these for stock photos...that’s how nice they are. Who is that photographer? She is awesome!
