Kelsey was super friendly and patient with us as we navigated hiring a wedding photographer. We didn't have any particular vision for the photos and just let her direct us as neede...
d. She took the time to speak with us about our timeline and any particular shots we wanted. The photos she produced were high quality with a mix of candids and staged shots. We had a Catholic ceremony and Kelsey was able to capture the right moments during the mass, which was the most important thing we could have asked in a photographer. Working with her was fun, which was a godsend during one of the most hectic days of my life. I would definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for an expert, friendly, and communicative photographer for their special events.
We had such a great experience with Kelsey! She gave us suggestions on where to have our photographs taken and also the best time for lighting & crowd control. She captured our can...
did moments so the photos we liked best didn’t look posed or forced. It was easy for us to pick which photos we liked to keep and then we could download them for digital versions. She was very communicative, friendly, and amazing to work with!
I can’t begin without saying how amazing Kelsey and her team are! They are truly good at what they do. I’m normally really shy and awkward in front of a camera, but they made the e...
xperience so fun and comfortable. They knew the best angles and helped with our poses and told us where to go. The photos turned out so candid and beautiful! I cannot get over them and we got so many compliments! I am so happy that we chose Kelsey and her team for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. These types of moments are once in a lifetime and you don’t want to miss anything good and that’s why we’re so grateful that they captured everything for us. We trust them so much. We already want Kelsey and her team to shoot for our one year anniversary!
We loved working with Kelsey! From the very beginning she made our search for our wedding photographer so easy. She was very informative and transparent and was able to answer all ...
of our questions. We were able to tell her our budget for photography and stick with it. Kelsey took the time to schedule calls with us and create a plan for what we were looking for. We did an engagement shoot with her which helped to get to know her and how she works. The day of our wedding, she and her fiancé were great! They captured all the moments we asked for. We are so happy with how our photos turned out! We recommend Kelsey C. Photography to our friends and family and anyone looking for a professional, helpful, and fun photographer for their special day.
It was a joy to work with Kelsey on the day of our event and in the days leading up to it. She met with us over Zoom twice to talk through our event's timeline and note where there...
might be great photo opportunities. We were doing a reception only and no wedding ceremony, so some of the more traditional photo ops weren't really going to apply to us, and Kelsey knew how to adjust the plan accordingly so that we'd still end up with a great collection of intimate photos and memories. She and her second shooter brought so much fun to the process and made my husband and me feel really comfortable. We loved their energy, and it was so clear how much both cared about capturing beautiful images of the two of us and all our friends and family. We're very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone.
After looking online at many different photographers, my wife and I decided to go with Kelsey for both our engagement and wedding photos. She was an amazing photographer and super ...
professional from the very beginning. She who was able to catch candid and planned photos of my wife and I. She made us laugh and made taking photos fun. She was able to capture a good side of me, which is no easy task. We were truly amazed at how all our photos turned out and loved them so much that we printed many of them to display in our home. Kelsey really listens to what your vision is and adds a unique, artistic and creative touch. We did a photo shoot at our wedding venue and her attention to the background/environment and details was phenomenal. With her expertise and experience, she's able to think ahead about the minor details so that things run smoothly on the big day. Her photography services were well worth the price we paid. If we could be engaged and get married again, we would definitely have Kelsey take our photos.
From the beginning, Kelsey was excited for us as a couple and excited to be part of our day. Her energy was reassuring for me, especially as I'm not used to being professionally ph...
otographed. She quickly got down to business and was flexible with our casual/loose schedule. On the day of, she seemed to be in multiple places at once, capturing details, different angles, and great candids of us and our guests! She was also fun to work with as she shot just us two, and directed posing very naturally. I love the way the edits came out, not to mention the sneak previews were ready just a few days later! Our last batch was edited and posted 7 weeks after our wedding date, and it's been so fun to share with friends and family. So thankful we have these memories saved forever!
I fell in love with Kelsey's photography style when I stumbled upon her website through the Knot, and I am so happy I did. The second I saw her portfolio I contacted Kelsey who pro...
mptly reached out to set up a virtual meeting with me. I knew from that first meeting that Kelsey was a perfect fit for our wedding. From the get go, she was extremely personable, friendly, and professional. She definitely knew what she was doing. I also appreciated her setting up this meeting with us so she could get a good idea of what we wanted from our photographer on the day of.
As it got closer to our wedding day, Kelsey once again reached out and set up an in-person meeting to go over final details. She meticulously combed through our timeline and shot list to make sure that we were going to be able to get all of the shots that we wanted on our big day. I left feeling confident she was going to do a great job. On the day of our wedding, I was SO preoccupied with a million different things that I needed Kelsey to tell me what to do, where to go, and how to pose. She was an expert in wrangling my chaotic bridal party, family, and friends to get the exact shots that we wanted. After the ceremony, Kelsey took us around our venue to spots that legitimately produced the most BEAUTIFUL couple shots ever. She is truly an expert in her field. I just got our previews back and I am in love. I feel so lucky to have had Kelsey take my wedding pictures. They could not have come out any better. I highly highly recommend booking Kelsey for your big day, you won't regret it!!!
We love Kelsey!
We worked with Kelsey for our engagement photos and wedding photos and she is not like any vendor…she became a friend to us. :)
She took into consideration what...
my husband and I love (donuts) and suggested incorporating Sidecar Donuts into our engagement shoot. We had given her details of what scenery we wanted, and she gave some suggestions for locations. The pictures turned out amazing!
Working with Kelsey for our wedding was low stress, and she made sure to capture all the important and fun moments. Her editing is beautiful and captures the vibrant colors of our wedding details. She is always easy to communicate with and very professional. Thank you so much Kelsey!
Pay her in boba. Just kidding, not really. One thing that my wife and I look for is someone who can be a great friend as well as a master of their craft. Kelsey is a professional...
who checked both those boxes. My wife and I had an elopement in 2020 during covid and we loved her work so much that we wanted to hire her again for our large celebration this past month.
My wife and I know how to navigate photos because we are in in the industry ourselves so for us, having someone we could jive with on our wedding day was just as important as having someone who we have trust in to capture the important moments and our loved ones in a beautiful way. Kelsey is someone we can count on to deliver consistently high quality and beautiful artistic photos.
She is super laid back and easy to work with and she got along great with the team. She knows when to step in and take charge of the day like during our group portraits. We all felt comfortable, yet confident, in front of the camera as well as my friends and family. She also knew when to just be a fly on the wall and capture the moments from a distance so we could enjoy the celebration. She’s the type of person who we would trust 100% to recommend to any friends and family and anyone looking for wedding photography .
Kelsey artfully captured all the feels of our perfect day. From the first Zoom interview through delivery of the final highlight video, working with Kelsey was a breeze. We went to...
lunch a little over a week before our wedding day and Kelsey got a good feel for our style and how we wanted our day captured. She worked seamlessly with our photographer and even provided us with the raw footage of our ceremony and reception, which was a substantial additional expense for all other videographers we interviewed prior to selecting Kelsey. She began working on our video immediately after our wedding and kept us informed of the progress until it was completed. We couldn’t be happier with our highlight video and had a great experience working with Kelsey!
My husband and I hired Kelsey as the videographer at the recommendation of our Wedding Photographer. I am so happy I was able to experience Kelsey's talents twice. She was the vide...
ographer for both my microwedding in January 2021 and my larger wedding + reception in August 2021. Kelsey does the most fantastic job with capturing detail shots as well as integrating transitions with the music.
Her talent withstanding, one of the most delightful things about working with Kelsey if her warm exuberance and her commitment to her work. I tend to be pretty shy and weary of being on camera, but she was the best "hype woman" you could ever imagine. She has a way of making the camera feel welcoming and for getting the perfect shots that you'd never imagine seeing. Every time I look back on our wedding videos, I feel so blessed that Kelsey was recommended to us.

Kelsey was our wedding photographer and she was great! She was very friendly and easy to work with. She got us some amazing shots on top of all the ones we asked for!
Kelsey was really easy to work with. She was super understanding, especially with us pushing our date back because of C19. Her second shooter was amazing! Thank you for making our ...
photos so special :)
My husband and I hired Kelsey to do the photography for our small wedding in June (~70 guests). On top of lovely photography, Kelsey was a pleasure to work with - very professional...
while also friendly and personable. She is communicative, flexible, and good at helping everyone stay on schedule for the day. Best of all, her photos came out beautifully and within the quick timeline we discussed! We highly recommend working with Kelsey!
Bride // Kelsey was an absolute blessing for our courthouse elopement in April at the Laguna Civic Center! From the first inquiry, she made us feel at ease with a couple check-ins ...
before the big day. She put together a great package for us where she not only accompanied us to the courthouse, but also allowed us to go get some great beach shots. In typical SoCal fashion, the day was hot and traffic from the courthouse was a mess, but Kelsey handled it all beautifully. Within a few hours, she had a highlight reel ready for us to share with our loved ones. Not only that, but within only a couple weeks she had our first set of photos ready! Her editing style is warm and just what we were looking for to capture all our memories so we were beyond delighted when we saw the results were nothing short of amazing. Working with Kelsey really was a breeze and she was so personable and friendly it truly felt like we were with someone we’ve known for a long time! Kelsey will definitely be our go to for any future milestones!
Kelsey was so great! my wife Lily and I hired Kelsey to photography our elopement in Yosemite. Because of Covid, we opted out of having large ceremony this year and decided on goin...
g somewhere we both loved, Yosemite National Park. We are both avid travelers and hikers so we wanted to go to our favorite place and just take a small handful of people. Our group consisted of 8 people. 5 of them were our wedding party and family and the other 3 were the officiant, the videographer, and the photographer Kelsey.
She's such a a sweet heart and so easy to work with and fun to be around. Her work is great and that's a given. We didn't just want someone who could take a nice picture....we wanted someone who we'd have a great time with over the weekend. We had an airbnb rented out for our group and prepared some nice meals.
Not only is Kelsey good at what she does and very professional and easy to work with, but she's great to be around. She's like a friend! We're also glad she enjoyed the meals we picked out. She's a big foodie.
Our wedding was beautiful, over looking glacier point. She went with us on a short one mile hike to Taft Point, which was overlooking the Yosemite valley. Our portraits turned out great and she made the experience working with her very smooth.
Would definitely recommend her to my friends!
Kelsey was terrific! The best ever! Pictures could not have turned out any better!!

letting us pick the location! She helped us come alive in the photos and never once did she complain. She even got close in the water, got hit with a wave and still took our photos! Literally an MVP! She’s quick to think of poses ( since we really did not how to pose lol) and help us coordinate ourselves.
After getting the photos back, we were in awe of her creativity! The angles, the poses, the editing, the joy that she was able to capture was all stunning and we love it so much. She has a joyful spirit that made us feel we were the only special people at the beach. Her excitement made us feel even more excited! You will not be disappointed if you choose this lovely lady to be your photographer!!!
** and also to add! She almost got knocked over by some waves but was unwavering in her photo game! My fiance and I loved her as our engagement photographer!
Absolutely amazing and incredible

Book with Kelsey, because she will knock out and exceed your hopes & expectations! Not to mention, she has such a generous, deep heart. You won’t regret booking with her!
I had Kelsey shoot for my wedding proposal and I was blown away by not only how sweet she was, but by also how serious she takes her profession.. she means business!

lew by really quick, there wasn’t much time—but at the corner of my eye I see Kelsey sprinting from one end of the block to the other just to get the perfect shot, we were all amazed by her dedication—and it shows, the pictures came out beautiful!
After the surprise, Kelsey took us around the area for some of the most creative shots. Although my fiancé and I are so awkward and have no know-how in front of a camera, Kelsey really took her time in making sure we were comfortable and having fun just being ourselves.
Kelsey really made our big day all the more special. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking around for a great photographer.

h the images she gives us. She was able to nail all the images I wanted and was open to try ideas we came up with. She was exactly where we needed her to be thoughout the day. The photos, when we got them back, was more than we expected. Besides all the important can't miss shots, she caught some precious candid moments that we treasure. Very professional and easy to work with. Would love to work with her again in the future.
Kelsey presented to us the idea of having an in-home photoshoot as a cozy, candid and intimate setting. We loved this idea and had a fun time mocking up our everyday tasks for her ...
to capture. From eating breakfast, playing video games, brewing a cup of coffee or huddled up on the couch with a book, she captured the essence of our relationship through these photos. She was very professional and arrived for our session on time. She made us feel comfortable when directing us for poses to make the shot. When we had ideas for possible shots, she was more than happy to try them out. We never felt awkward or pressured to do a shot that didn't feel natural for us as a couple. I appreciate her passion for photography and am very happy with the photos and video she delivered in a timely manner. Thanks Kelsey!
My husband and I recently got settled into our first new home together and thought it would be a great idea to have candid photos of us living in our space with our pets!
People u...
sually hire a photographer to document an important event in their life such as weddings or graduation. We realized that moving into a new space for the first time as a married couple is equally as significant. From our engagement photos to wedding photos (different photographer), the in-home session with Kelsey has been by far my favorite photo session as newlyweds. She captured who we are in our day to day, and it made for a really special shoot, having it in the comfort of our new space. It made me truly appreciate our home and living together as a married couple. Kelsey is very personable and quick to respond. She updated us on her progress with editing and within a couple of days, we had the final video and photos ready to share!
The response from our friends and family were really great! Not too many people have seen in-home photo sessions and all thought it was a very creative and cute idea. We look forward to working with Kelsey again soon!
