Kelly Stevens Photography

ith Kelly was a breeze throughout the whole planning and wedding process. Our families raved about how effortless it was to work with her. She is professional, organized, patient and easy to work with. She was able to capture the whole day perfectly. One thing I told her was that I wanted the wedding to be as natural and unaffected by the photographers presence as possible. Kelly listened and was like a ghost, you would never know she was there, but the quantity AND quality of the pictures she took were incredibly impressive. We don't know how she did it!!! Her assistant was also easy to work with and was extremely supportive the day of the wedding. Every time I look at the pictures (Daily), I cannot help but smile endlessly. The pictures are exactly how we wanted them, Kelly completely captured our vision with her own beautiful style. We absolutely love them. The amount of attention to detail she showed really brought out the love and emotion of our special day's photos. If you are on the fence, book Kelly now!

G! Kelly was so friendly and helpful too! She helped my mom finish buttoning my dress! Kelly asked about our relationship to get a feel for who we were and how she could best capture that in her photos. She gathered a photo list before the day so we wouldn't miss any photos. She was efficient-walked into my hotel room and got right to work! I highly recommend Kelly for your special day!

minute to a different location. She found the beauty in every part of the day and has created images that help us remember and capture all the little moments that made the day so special. She also managed to deliver preview photos by the next morning, which was so kind and fast! We can’t recommend her highly enough!

s a lovely person and the overall experience was fun and easy. 10/10 - we highly recommend Kelly to everyone!

ing the perfect moments of our special day. I genuinely can't recommend her enough for your big day!

a great fit - so excited about our wedding, she thought of absolutely everything throughout the planning (walk through of the visit, shot list development, timeline review). We loved the variety of packages she had available, so we could really customize exactly what we wanted for our day. During our engagement shoot, we fell in love with Kelly's approach - she made us feel so at ease with simple posing instructions that allowed us to flow naturally and take photos that didn't look staged at all. On our wedding day, Kelly was all over it!! She made sure that she got every photo we asked for, and anytime there was a lull she made sure she was getting key detail shots and plenty of pictures of our guests. We had a few shy children at our wedding, and she was so good at working with them and our videographer (who we hired separately, as videography wasn't part of her available packages at the time). Every moment of our special day was captured, and we will treasure the memories and photographs forever!

ng in our engagement photos to capturing candid moments during our wedding day. It is incredible the amount of amazing photos she captures—I gave her practically nothing to go off of and she was able to still nail the style of photography I was hoping for. And aside from being incredibly talented she is also an amazing person, even gave me the shoes off her feet when I couldn’t stand to wear my wedding heels any longer and was considering going to the restroom barefooted! All of our guests still continue to rave about Kelly as well and love all the photos she captured of them (even my husbands friends who I’ve never ever had requests for me to send them photos we’ve taken lol). If you want to feel like a couple out of Vogue, kelly is your girl!

he is very helpful, communicative, and organized. She is sweet and not in-your-face, however knows when to take control and be more assertive with direction. Kelly definitely works hard to please her client, which is an awesome ally to have on wedding day! I highly recommend Kelly Stevens Photography.

l.

he worked with us for price, accommodations, and generally was awesome. Her photos turned out so beautifully!

incredibly talented...not just in picture taking but in taking an awkward camera shy couple and making us SO comfortable. So many people commented on our photos saying they should be advertisements for our jewelry store. Thank you Kelly for being so amazing!!

nd establish a great relationship from the very beginning. She truly cares about your day, which shows in both her communication and in her stunning work! She did our engagement photos in addition to our wedding and we absolutely loved both. She has an incredible eye and captured our day beautifully. Our photos feel genuine and natural with so many stunning shots, not only of us but of our family and guests as well. We were especially impressed with how well she worked with the tricky direct sunlight that we had for our first look and ceremony - her skill with the light and shadows resulted in some of our favorite photos. We felt so comfortable and knew we were in great hands. Can’t recommend her enough - thank you, Kelly!!

with her was so enjoyable. She truly cares about her couples and gives absolutely everything to her work. She truly is an expert at what she does. As we prepared for the wedding, Kelly was very organized, creating a timeline and schedule, outlining a shot list, and having multiple conversations with us to ensure she would capture exactly what we wanted. We may have exchanged a hundred emails back and forth (hi, crazy bride), but I never felt rushed - I always felt like I was the most important. On the day of the wedding, Kelly was all over it. She made sure all our shots were captured, took our family photos very efficiently, and made us all feel incredibly comfortable while doing it. During the reception, she was silently all.over.the.place... I don't know how she did it! I would absolutely hire Kelly again and will certainly recommend her to anyone. Working with Kelly was a joy and our photos are INCREDIBLE!!

e, she will handle your family and guests with kindness while still getting the best shots, and she was communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. She also did sweet things like send a little gift while we were getting ready for the big day and had a few extra chats with me during the planning process when I was feeling anxious. Kelly is a doll and a fabulous photographer, you will not regret booking her!!

h it. She is 1000% onboard for anything! Warm and cozy at home, she'll do it. Including your pets? She's bringing the treats! Outside on a beach with whipping winds in 23 degree weather, yup, she's all in with handwarmers! Large scale wedding with 200+ people, she'll be there ready to go! She will be the your hype woman throughout the entire process with any decision you make. Kelly has showcased our love in its true, raw form. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine and were delivered to us earlier than expected. My partner and I try to not take life too seriously, and Kelly helped us capture that in the most amazing shoots, guiding us into certain poses but never making it feel like we were being "staged". I will be recommending and using Kelly for year to come :)

d, and does amazing work. My wife and I looked at many portfolios, hers was the best and the pictures we received 100% lived up to her portfolio. We looked at several portfolios online of different photographers. In many cases we saw some great edited photos, but as we dug in further or looked at actual delivered wasn’t as good. The photos we got from Kelly were as great as advertised. We got many compliments about our photos, and to be honest we have the best wedding pictures out of all our friends. I already recommended Kelly to all my engaged friends.

nded run-of-show itinerary, due to us being at the mercy of the weather. Kelly easily navigated the landscape and captured the dramatic backdrop of the mountains perfectly. She also sent it down a black diamond to get shots of our first ski run as a couple. As someone who always wanted a low-key wedding and almost didn't hire a photographer, I am so glad we were able to book Kelly. She was super flexible and knew how to manage our day even though we didn't have a set schedule. She even stayed an extra hour to help get some key shots before our family dinner. We highly recommend!

g and she and her husband captured our wedding PERFECTLY! We are so in LOVE with our photos, and so is everyone who sees them! OBSESSED! Her photos capture each genuine moment and use the perfect lighting and they are timeless yet creative. She has a clear talent and her work definitely shows it! She is a genuine person and was just so pleasant to work with. Put us right at ease. No awkward posing or moments at all. Easily our most favorite vendor of our entire wedding experience. I wish I could give 6 stars!

mediately comfortable and helped us pose and look natural. She not only captured all the family/wedding party photos that we wanted, but all of the little details and fun candid moments as well. She is very sweet, professional and great to work with! The finished photos have a beautiful style, were delivered on time and are easy to share.

of our actual wedding was such a pleasure. On the day of she was everywhere at our venue, capturing every single moment. stunning. As someone who has trouble with feeling awkward in photos, Kelly went above and beyond giving helpful tips during portrait shots or making my husband and I feel more comfortable in front of the lens. She was also great with my family, friends, and over-excited dog too. This really comes through in the photos from our wedding! They are truly elegant, fun, and romantic. I couldn't be happier with them. Before the wedding, she helped us with the early stages of our timeline planning and had great recommendations for wedding planners and any other vendors. She was very kind and accommodating when it came to rescheduling our wedding due to the pandemic. Working with Kelly was a great experience and I couldn't recommend her enough.

oment perfectly. All of our guests and especially our family LOVED her at the events and were even more stunned by her amazing work. Her photos are real, do not feel staged and are so fun! She just lets the couple's personality come to life! My wife and I will be asking Kelly to take our professional photos for as long as she will let us :) Long story short...HIRE HER!

macy of our day to be able to be shared with them was critical. We were attracted to Kelly’s photography style based on her portfolio, but we knew she was a keeper once we had our first conversation. Kelly’s the best- she’s easy going, professional, fun, flexible and above all was committed to delivering all we could’ve hoped for and more. On the day of, Kelly made us feel so comfortable and gave us guidance when needed (even gave me advice when I was struggling with my hair and makeup!), but was never intrusive. She sent us some photographs the next day (which was so exciting since we didn't have any of our own to look through), and our complete gallery was sent in a beautiful keepsake USB. Kelly is so talented- all our family and friends have specifically commented on how incredible our photos are. Highly highly recommend her and her work!!

us feel in the moment and I can honestly say that we enjoyed the part we thought would make us the most uncomfortable. The results were stunning. I knew we had made a great decision when Kelly continued to be in frequent contact leading up to the big day and made us feel like she was thinking of us even if we didn't necessarily need anything from her. She was incredibly organized from start to finish and she was the only vendor I wasn’t concerned about! Kelly is incredibly thoughtful and accommodating - ensuring that she knows what is important to her clients. Our dog was one of those things - so rather than have us all spend extra time hiking the venue property, she loaded us (AND the dog) into her own car. Talk about going the extra mile! I would definitely recommend that people consider Kelly and Hourglass Photography for their photo needs.

comfortable with her; she helped all our pictures look fantastic and natural. If you are considering Kelly along with other photographers, I hope you use this as your sign to go with her, you will not regret it and in fact, you'd regret not doing it! She had samples to us the same night as our wedding, and the entire album in less than two weeks!

ssional photographer. But once we got in touch with Kelly we knew that we had to book her! She was just so down to earth and really made an effort to get to know us and our story. Her energy is so warm and welcoming and you can tell by the way that she talks that she loves what she does. We were so glad we decided to have Kelly capture our day. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and our photos came out absolutely amazing. If you are looking for someone talented, genuine, and who is able to tell a story through their work than look no further and book hourglass photography!

sponsive to emails and so helpful each step of the way! The pictures of our wedding cake out better than I had ever imagined!!! I look forward to having Kelly photograph other special events in the future! Can not recommend her enough!!!

ictures were amazing!!!! Highly recommend her for weddings and we plan to hire her for family photos too!

e us feel so comfortable, not only with her but with the camera. She really captured the love we have for each other and how happy we are to be officially starting this new chapter of our lives. The photos are gorgeous!! Also, I want to note that Kelly really goes above and beyond for her clients. She took a very small job, our 8 person quarantine ceremony, and stayed extra long to make sure we got great shots of everyone. She was completely prepared, having sent me a shot list and questionnaire beforehand. We also received the digital photos so quickly and a couple weeks after a beautifully wrapped memory stick with all the pictures. Overall, our experience with Kelly was great and we can't wait to use her for our big shindig next year!

essentially a small family party. If anything, our experience was the opposite of that — Kelly has an amazing ability to disappear into the background for long stretches and then pop up at just the right moment to give suggestions and directions that result in truly incredible, authentic photos. My husband and I both get pretty awkward in front of the camera, but Kelly made us both feel instantly comfortable. One of our favorite parts of the entire day was running around the grounds of our venue after the ceremony, just the 3 of us, and taking all sorts of fun/goofy/sweet/romantic photos. And of course, she’s crazy talented — we love our photos so much. It was really cool to get the pictures back and realize how much Kelly totally got us, both as a couple and just as people in general. She really listens and knows exactly how to make your vision come to life (even if your “vision” is kind of vague and half-baked and involves a lot of confused mumbling). I should also mention that Kelly sent us 5 preview photos literally within 2 days of the wedding, and then delivered the rest exactly when she said she would EVEN THOUGH it was the week of Thanksgiving. She’s also possibly the sweetest person I’ve ever met? Just so great in every possible way, can’t recommend her enough. Thank you again, Kelly!

am a plus size woman and was super nervous about having professional pictures taken. She made me feel so incredibly comfortable and stress free. She's the best!

on the wedding day. Kelly and Derek were literally EVERYWHERE, getting EVERY SINGLE photo we could even imagine. We can’t thank them enough for all they did. Our photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

gement shoot, Kelly made us feel incredibly comfortable which is not easy to do in front of the camera. She was able to capture some of the most authentic shots of us on the beach that day, which excited us for what was to come on our even bigger wedding day! We were not disappointed. Kelly took care of every photo I wanted with my ladies while Derek took care of the men. They set up where we wanted to do our first look, and it was MAGICAL. Kelly and her husband let my husband and I soak up the moment with each other, we forgot there were even pictures being taken! They let us take our time embracing the moment, and never once interrupted or told us to start posing until we told them we were ready. I CANNOT WAIT to see these photographs! Kelly had a list of every photo combination we asked for including attention to details and decorations. She was incredibly organized and worked beautifully with our videographer. Kelly and Derek made sure that we got every single picture we wanted, and they even stayed late into the night to capture some of the crazy dancing and pictures out on the terrace with friends and family. Working with her was a breeze, and she made what could have been a very stressful part of wedding planning extremely easy. She sent us 5 sneak peek photographs TWO DAYS AFTER OUR WEDDING… talk about efficiency! These photos are unbelievably stunning, and we cannot wait to see the rest. THANK YOU KELLY & DEREK!! We will 100% recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing, authentic, down to earth wedding photographer ☺

sure we got all of the photos we wanted, and they all came out beautifully. We're so thrilled we had Kelly as our photographer and we would absolutely recommend her!

iful, but Kelly got so many natural photos of our family and guests that are priceless. Every part of working with Kelly was so pleasant and easy, and I really appreciated the online contract & payments. On our wedding day, she made us both feel very comfortable and was so nice and friendly. I'm not usually super comfortable getting my picture taken, and so I super appreciated her demeanor, and my husband was also really happy with how everything turned out. I'm a big fan of Hourglass Photography's style. It was such a personal, lovely experience all around. Thanks Hourglass! <3

ove being in front of the camera and she made it so easy and comfortable. I highly recommend Hourglass Photography!

s a very well organized guide to help us prepare for the session which I loved . During the session Kelly made it easy and comfortable for us. We never felt like she was making us do a certain pose. She had a great eye for capturing the most beautiful elements of our location. Our pictures turned out AMAZING! I’m so glad we did our shoot with Kelly and can’t recommend her enough, I’m so glad I’ll be able to enjoy these pictures for years to come!

ot. We were definitely not disappointed! Kelly was so responsive to our messages before the shoot and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera on the actual day. End result: the photos are phenomenal! I can't stop looking at them!!

ebrate and cherish your moment. She is extremely professional, always smiling, willing to go the extra mile, and turns around the edited set of photos in record time! I can't recommend her enough

comfortable in front of the camera. Kelly made sure to get multiple angles with every shot, so that we could find the perfect picture. She was also incredibly fast with editing the photos, and we were thrilled to receive them. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be booking again!

ly made it fun and easy. She has a great eye for what's going to make a beautiful picture and she is awesome at giving useful directions and hints. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend her to other brides and I am so excited to work with her again at the wedding!!
