About this vendor
Your wedding will be different and you want the photos to match. This day is about how much you love each other, and celebrating your relationship with your family and friends. It's also that one day that you will be a stunning bride and/or groom, and you need a photographer who will capture all your best angles and how radiant you are. I have photographed nearly 100 weddings and been a bride myself, and over that time my purpose as a wedding photographer has become very clear to me - authentic, timeless photos matter - they matter now and they matter even more 50 years from now. They help us remember the one day in our lives when we celebrated our love and our community. That family photo #74 of your husband and his uncles or cousins, that matters. So does the portrait of you two that makes you feel like a bombshell, or captures your love and connection. Can't wait to meet you!

We had a great experience with Kelly, and were beyond pleased with her photos.
While planning our wedding, she thought of things that we wouldn't have, e.g. ran through and made suggestions for the schedule to make sure we would get enough light for our photos. During the event, she was professional and effective. She helped us pose and corral our family members. She found just the right angles to capture the intimacy and romance of the ceremony. She went out of her way to showcase the details of my self-made dress, which I really appreciated.
The photos we received are mindblowingly good. So candid, artfully composed, and flattering. The people in them all look like themselves. The flash film photos are especially beautiful, and made us look way cooler than we are!
Kelly's services were worth every penny!
On top of her stellar work, which speaks for itself, she is kind, professional, and just the cool, calm, collected person you want around you on the chaos of your wedding day! With a mix of film and digital she perfectly captured the big moments, but also the small moments like a baby in the crowd or my husband's hand on my back, all with timeless style. We can't recommend Kelly highly enough!
I could write for hours about what a stunning photographer and warm, wonderful person Kelly is. Her images are timeless and authentic, yet totally magical. She offers wonderful direction, knows how to spot the most dazzling spots for photos, and is so incredibly kind and fun to be with on your wedding day.
Kelly is one of a rare few photographers in Seattle who offer a film photography add-on for wedding packages. She shot a mix of film and digital for us, and she masterfully delivered on both types of images. Between our engagement and wedding, we had an incredible diversity of film photos: instant, 35mm and 120mm (shout out to the chonky Pentax 645!) If she captured something once on film, she'd shoot it again on digital, so there was never any concern that something might not turn out on film. But it all turned out so beautifully! Kelly's work on film is nothing short of ethereal, and her digital images were edited perfectly. We've received so many compliments on how lovely our wedding photos are, especially the colors.
Throughout our time working with her, Kelly was always prompt, communicative, reliable, and consistently went above and beyond as our photographer. I am so glad we chose to work with her. My husband is already talking about working with her again in the future for mini-sessions! <3
Kelly is amazing! She captured our engagement photos as well as our big day. She is so thoughtful, intentional, and has the best eye when it comes to capturing details and candid moments. Our photos turned out so beautiful and truly will help us remember our special day for forever! We highly recommend her for any event and feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her.
Kelly was fantastic to work with! From great communication to setting up our engagement session, to day of our wedding Kelly was our perfect photographer. Kelly was fast to respond to any email communication and was always prompt. From the moment we met Kelly in person for our engagement session she made both my husband (then fiancé) and I feel so comfortable and put us at ease during our session. Day of our wedding Kelly took shifts in our timeline (due to our delay) in stride and adjusted quickly. She captured the day so well and made all bridal party, family and friends comfortable in capturing our day! Don’t think twice, book Kelly for your day!
Kelly was awesome to work with! We had a few curveballs thrown our way as our ceremony neared and Kelly was super communicative and flexible throughout. Plus, our photos were GORGEOUS. We've loved sharing them with our family & friends (and how easy it has been to do so). I highly recommend Kelly for your big day!
I can’t say enough about how great it was to work with Kelly for our wedding. We had never posed for photos before our engagement session and were pretty nervous, but she was full of tips and tricks to get us comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing. On our wedding day, she picked out incredible locations for our photos, kept everyone on schedule, and captured so many beautiful moments. We just got our full set pictures back and I’ve honestly done almost nothing but look at them because they’re so fantastic! Thank you Kelly for helping make our wedding so special!
Kelly was a rock star at our wedding!
She got back to us in a timely manner leading up to our wedding and was very easy going with some unexpected changes leading up to the day. Communicating with her was so smooth.
On the day, she made us (who do not enjoy getting photographed normally) feel very comfortable, and my family and friends talked about (and still tell me) how nice Kelly was and how she was seen everywhere taking pictures on the day.
After the wedding, we got our previews back the next day! We enjoyed all her photos, but we especially loved her films. I am recommending her to my friends in Seattle and I am interested in her family photos in the future!
Kelly is truly the best! She did an amazing job capturing the joy of our wedding day. We got our preview images super quick (2 days). We also loved the different mix of photo styles that Kelly so wonderfully captured!
Kelly Robbins is absolutely incredible. She showed a high level of professionalism throughout our communication and wedding day. I had some specific photos/poses I wanted on my wedding day and she made sure to make it happen. She also edited our photos with insane speed. I was surprised how quickly they were returned to us. I love them! Not only did she capture the standard wedding photos, she also captured shots that set the mood of our wedding. I love our gallery so much and we highly recommend Kelly!
Hiring Kelly for our wedding was such a great decision. We were worried as most photographers were requiring at least a 6 hour package, but with Kelly that was no problem. Kelly was so flexible and accommodating. She was so friendly and kind, and made us feel comfortable during the portrait portion. We just received our photos back and they are gorgeous. We highly recommend her services!!
Kelly is an incredible photographer and she was so easy to work with. She is very professional, gives great direction, and was super flexible with last minute changes. She always responded to my questions via email or text quickly. I loved working with her and highly, highly recommend her!!
Kelly is every bit as wonderful as you think she is. She is a calm presence that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only can she gather your large extended family for photos (I assure you that this is a difficult task) and capture the big moments of your wedding but she also captures the quiet in between moments that, when you look back at your photos, really tell the story of how important and magical your wedding day is. Kelly, your photos made us laugh, smile, cry and relive every moment of our wedding and that is such a treat. Thank you for being the perfect person to capture our day. Do not hesitate to book Kelly. As soon as we booked her, I knew we were in good hands and never had to worry about anything photography related.
I can’t even describe to you how amazing Kelly and her photos are. Her photography style and love for black and white photos made me fall in love with her work immediately. My husband and I are not the best when it comes to photos, but she made everything so easy! She’s very laid back, but gives great direction. I am very self conscious of the way I look as I’m sure all brides are and I literally love every single photo we’ve received. It’s going to be hard to pick what ones to frame and put in a book, which you can easily purchase through your gallery. I really could keep going on but I’ll end with the fact that Kelly is a dream and I plan on working with her for any photography needs in the future.
We wanted to keep our entire day as simple and flexible as possible and Kelly made it very easy to do that. I was most thankful and impressed with her willingness and ability to persevere through the freezing rain and wind that hit us in the middle of the afternoon in November in Seattle. It was truly a miserable experience but she stuck with us through it and stayed professional the entire time. She turned around the photos super fast and I really liked the warm editing she applied. Really helped balance the dreariness of the actual day itself.
We cannot recommend working with Kelly enough! We hired Kelly to shoot pretty much everything - engagement photos, wedding, and a boudoir session (which was so fun - especially with Kelly's 90s R&B playlist!). Kelly made us feel so comfortable in each different shoot and came out with the most amazing photos that really captured the essence of us. Going through the gallery it was difficult not to print every single one. Not to mention Kelly is incredibly professional and will go above and beyond getting you the perfect photos. Our engagement session was in November in Seattle and there was rain in the forecast. The day before our scheduled shoot, the sun just happened to come out in the afternoon and Kelly made it work to move our session up when the weather was good on short notice. She has the perfect balance of combining her professional opinion with your unique vision/preferences as a client. She's great at recommending locations and poses, has the best eye for lighting, and always makes sure to capture the candid moments that end up being your favorite photos. I know we will be hiring Kelly for all our photography needs in the future!
Kelly was AMAZING and we highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer. With the stress of wedding planning during a pandemic - Kelly helped make our day feel so special and both of us relaxed. We even threw in a last minute change to have her also take photos at our rehearsal dinner (including a Korean wedding ceremony) and she was so accommodating. Because of the pandemic, we had never met in person until the rehearsal, but she was so easy to get along with and has a very calming and laid back personality - but also wasn't afraid to give everyone direction so that we could get all the photographs we wanted.
Kelly was also extremely quick to get our photos to us! We were actually able to view a large sample of the photographs just a few days after the wedding while we were on our honeymoon! For those of us that like instant gratification - this just made everything all the more special! When we got the photographs - they were AMAZING. We still can't stop staring at the photographs months later. In hindsight, I can't stress enough how important these photos are to us and going with Kelly is a decision you won't regret! We loved working with Kelly so much we are planning to continue working with her for future sessions (Christmas cards, family portraits, etc.). Look no further - you've found your photographer!
I would highly recommend Kelly! She photographed my wedding, provided a photo booth, and an elegantly vintage film video with all the highlights from the night. I had a big bridal party that was a tough to wrangle, and Kelly did a great job making sure we kept to our schedule for the day. My wedding was all indoors, so one of the most important things I was looking for was a photographer that was comfortable in low light conditions. The photos turned out incredible! Plus, she nailed the night shots of the sparkler sendoff and getaway car.
Kelly made the whole experience seamless. The delivery of the photos and videos made it so easy to share with family and friends, and download it to my computer. I have nothing but great things to say about her!
What we wanted most from the photographer is she catch the emotional story of love. We wanted photos that were natural yet professional and caught the personality of the bride and groom and the ambiance of the day. Kelly knew how to catch the right picture, had many ideas for settings and backgrounds, and the small details of the shoes, flowers, lace on the dress, and many more moments. If you want a photographer who can shoot professional photos telling your story and catch the memory forever, choose Kelly Robbins. She is also a pleasure to share the afternoon with and is discreet when photographing your guests.
Kelly is the most talented and incredible photographer. Her ability to capture everyone in all their glory and candidly was just down right beautiful. Our portraits were also breathtaking. If you're looking for a photographer you need to hire her asap! She just simply the best! She also took time to make sure she knew exactly what we were looking for, important photos with family and even captured our fur babies. I couldn't be more happy with Kelly and her work. We will use her for all our special moments in our future.
Kelly photographed our intimate wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the results! She got a wonderful combination of portraits and candid shots out of two camera-averse people. We’re actually having a hard time picking favorite photos to print because there are so many good ones to choose from. We really appreciated her guidance in thinking through what we wanted to capture as well as her flexibility on the day. She was really responsive throughout and we’ll definitely contact her again for future photography needs.
Kelly is absolutely amazing! She was excellent at communicating throughout the planning process, quick to respond to email, and she did a great job managing everyone day of. She was calm and organized the whole day, and helped us stay on schedule. Even though our wedding day was during a heat wave and it was 106 degrees outside, Kelly came prepared with water and a mister and did a fantastic job! Our wedding was at a venue she hadn’t been to before, and she saw it for the first time on our wedding day. She showed up early and scouted out the best spots for photos. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, and the candid shots turned out just as great as the staged shots! She managed to really capture our relationship in her photos. We are absolutely thrilled we hired her, and would recommend her to anyone!
We booked Kelly for our wedding and couldn’t be happier! We loved her flexible options for schedules and al a cart options which I have never seen before. We had a smaller covid wedding and Kelly did a great job managing all of the people and getting all of the shots we requested. She also gave good feedback during the shoot so that my husband and I got natural photos which captured our relationship really well. All of the photos turned out beautifully and Kelly was very quick to turn them around. I will definitely be hiring her for family pictures in the future!
We had to plan our engagement due to some unforeseen circumstances in less than a month, which caused a lot of stress and scrambling on our site. But Kelly was awesome throughout the entirety of the process! The pre-wedding communication and planning was on par and without any issues and her experience helped us out tremendously. The day of the wedding she was there on time, being super professional and even helped us finding a second witness :P We liked all the pictures she took! The candid shots as well as the staged shots. And a big bonus perk was that Kelly also shot some pictures on film which turned out amazing!
Kelly Robbins is an absolute gem. She was one of the first wedding vendors that we met with and we instantly knew she was the photographer for us! She is calm, easy-going, flexible and so so sweet.
While we were planning our wedding she was willing to come with me to the venue to discuss lighting/timing, she was flexible with our package requests and amendments and through it all, she showed grace and professionalism.
When our wedding plans had to pivot due to Covid she hopped right on board with our new plan. Even up until the day before the wedding, she was accomodating in extending her hours due to the ever changing plans of our elopement. She braced sheets of rain, wind, and our wild families!
Our pictures turned out so beautifully, she perfectly captured our day. We were promptly sent a preview 2 days after the wedding. We will cherish her work for the rest of our lives. We plan to use her for all of our major life moments in the future and would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a photographer!
We signed a contract with Kelly pre-COVID and were all set up to do engagement photos in March. Since we live in Houston we were no longer able to travel to Seattle in March. Kelly was so flexible and rescheduled our engagement session for two days before our wedding! We were so happy with the shots she took - she’s making it difficult to pick favorites!
Kelly is the best! We had Kelly photograph our wedding day and had a wonderful experience. She made the entire process stress free because she is laid back, flexible, and a good communicator.
We had an in-person meeting with Kelly about a month before the wedding. This helped us get familiar with each other, allowed her to find out exactly what we were hoping to achieve with our wedding photos, and together we made a plan for the timeline of the big day.
On our wedding day, Kelly made us feel calm and comfortable. She has a great eye for lighting and what will look stunning in photos. She was also very cognizant of timing and schedules, which we really appreciated.
We got our ‘first preview’ photos quicker than we expected and loved the website functionality. It was an added bonus to get our final photos in a beautiful box with a flash drive and a few selected printed photos. Our photos are beautiful, and Kelly did such a good job that a couple of them got featured in Seattle Bride Magazine!
All in all, we can’t recommend Kelly enough. We can’t wait to have Kelly capture future moments as our family grows.
Amazing to work with and captured great moments. Also wonderful with friends and family and had a calming presence. Kelly really has the eye and expertise I highly recommend her for your special day!
My husband and I chose Kelly to photograph our small, intimate courthouse wedding, and I am so glad we did! She helped us plan out a timeline for the day, which ensured everything moved along smoothly, and made it possible to get all the photos we wanted around downtown/ Pike's Place! It was low stress, fun, relaxed, and our photos are beautiful! Exactly what I was hoping for! Thank you so much, Kelly!
Kelly was such a great photographer to work with. She made the planning process really easy and smooth for us. Taking pictures with her was comfortable and the results are fantastic. We love our photos and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. My family was raving about Kelly as well and loved her professionalism when wrangling us during family photos. Definitely highly recommend Kelly for your wedding.
Kelly was absolutely amazing, not only for our engagement session but our wedding day! She was accommodating with our engagement session which we had to reschedule due to rain. She was always punctual, responsive, and a joy to work with as she brought a calming energy to the wedding day! She got our pictures back to us quicker than expected, but still top notch quality - Kelly seriously has an eye for the perfect shot. I would recommend Kelly over and over and I plan to use her services in the future. Thank you so much for these pictures ... allowing us to relive these moments over and over.
We are so so thrilled with Kelly's photos. She really captured everything we hoped for! We feel so lucky we got to work with her. She made it such a comfortable, pleasant experience- it was one of my favorite parts of the day.
We’re over the moon happy with how all our photos turned out.
My husband and I used Kelly for our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures and we were BLOWN away! Kelly's work and ability to find the absolute best lighting for her photos is incredible. She has a knack for making you feel really comfortable, and loves to incorporate your personality and own flair into the photos-making sure to capture honest, candid, and fun moments. Kelly is creative with her shots, and I felt like going through all our pictures from our wedding, each one was unique and different, and didn't look like any other wedding photos I had seen before which I loved! We have received SO many compliments on our wedding photos-she made us look like supermodels (ha!) To top it all off she sent us this beautiful box with grey and rose gold on it (our wedding colors!) with our favorite prints, a rose gold USB (yas kween), and chocolate (yaaaas kween). She also had a fast turnaround with the photos, and provides you with a great amount of "preview" photos before the lot is ready. Literally cannot say enough good things about Kelly and how awesome she is!!
Kelly was such a joy to work with for our engagement and wedding day photos. We had been researching photographers in the Seattle area and we felt a bit disappointed in the lack of customer service we were seeing - until we reached out to Kelly. She responded right away and set up time to meet with us in person. She was super organized and helped us conceptualize what our wedding day-of timeline would look like. When it came to our engagement photo session, she was flexible and worked with us to reschedule a few times due to the weather, plus she went the extra mile (literally) to meet us at our preferred location. She was so fun and easy to work with, I really think the engagement session helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Leading up to our wedding day we felt at ease knowing we would be working with her and she was available and responsive when we needed her to be. On our wedding day, she and her 2nd photographer went with the flow of our crazy day and they seemed to be having as great a time as we were. On top of the great experience we had working with Kelly, she captured some truly incredible moments throughout our wedding that were so unexpected to me. The gallery and presentation of the photos are amazing as well, they are super easy to share - the problem is that there are so many good ones it's hard to choose! I can't say enough about the quality of the photos and the overall experience we had working with her. She has a great eye and I recommend her to anyone searching for a professional photographer!
Even though the wedding was 3 months ago, Kelly's beautiful photos take me right back to the magical day. Kelly was so professional and has a great eye. Would highly recommend her. My only regret was we missed a few people we should have had in photos but that is really our fault
I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and her photography. From the moment I emailed Kelly, she was quick to reply and attentive and it never faded (which I can't say about all my vendors once the agreement was signed). She understood my vision my dislikes and likes in wedding photography and her work is BEAUTIFUL. She truly captured our special day and received the approval of all our families which is not an easy task. We are so happy with the end result - way too many frameable photos its hard to choose favorites. From capturing the perfectly candid moment to getting a good shot of the entire group. We felt at ease with Kelly behind the camera. My advice to you would be to book her before she books up!
Kelly is so warm and nice it is easy to feel instantly comfortable with her. We were so happy we chose her as our wedding photographer.
Kelly does an amazing job! I love all of the pictures she has done for us. Her shoots feel professional yet relaxed, she is very personable! She always gets our pictures to us very quickly and sends an easy to use online photo gallery. We had her send prints too and them came in a timely manner and were perfect. I also really like that she gets back to you quickly and asks all the right questions to understand exactly what you want. THANK YOU, KELLY!
