Kelsey McGovern Photography

up about silly things, and sharing stories about our lives. We could tell she truly wanted to get to know us and we couldn’t wait to start shooting with her! During our engagement session, she really helped us come out of our shells. She captured us at our happiest and most genuine. We were so excited with how our photos turned out. Our wedding day was a bit crazy due to one of our vendors being late. Kelsey and her assistant could tell I was beginning to be stressed and jumped right in to help. We are so thankful not only for Kelsey’s photography services, but for the way she went above and beyond to make sure our day amazing and stress free! We received our wedding pictures very quickly after and could not believe our eyes. We were overwhelmed with emotion and reminisced the wedding day with every photo. Kelsey has become a friend to us and we are so thankful for the way she perfectly captured every moment of our special day. We love her and recommend her to all our friends!

photos! She’s amazing!!!!

initely did! She’s so easy to talk to, is open to ideas yet comes with fantastic ideas of her own, and her quality is top notch! I squealed when I got my gallery back, and was in awe of how you could see each of our personalities in the photos and the playful nature of our relationship. From start to finish, Kelsey was both professional AND fun, and I could not recommend her more!! She’s WORTH IT!!!

with poses and questions so that she could catch the candid moments. You would not regret booking Kelsey. I am sooooo grateful to have found her on Instagram and I will definitely use her for my future family photos. She is awesome!

rection when we needed it while also letting us be ourselves. I really felt like she could’ve been my sister on my wedding day because she was there offering help or support wherever it was needed. AND THEN HER WORK. Gorgeous. The shots she got when we snuck away on the beach to get some photos of just me and my husband are my absolute favorite. She cares about her couples so much and it shows. I could not be happier with my decision to hire her to capture my day.

anyone but still threw a “Hail Mary” and we reached out on Thumbtack for some local photographers. And there is Kelsey! What struck me the most was about Kelsey’s photos was how happy her brides looked. Her pictures looked elegant while also having a sense of fun. Luckily (extremely) for me, she was available for my wedding date. Kelsey worked fast to get me a quote that was affordable yet had a solid photo package. When we first spoke on the phone, her professionalism and enthusiasm gave me so much confidence in her! Kelsey kept the communication up well leading up to the wedding and answering all of our questions kindly and thoroughly. When the big day came,Kelsey immediately made friends with the bridal party and got to work! When I had a minor meltdown, Kelsey utilized her time-management skills to move the groom pictures forward so I could gather my wits. She was funny, helpful, confident but not overbearing. Kelsey was so gracious and fun and a joy to have around that day. The pictures she took are gorgeous. Almost 8 months later, I am STILL showing everyone the pictures. She knew what I wanted out of that day and delivered 100%. I don’t know what else I can say....you’ve read this far so BOOK HER.

ed up doing an engagement session 3 hours away in the Outer Banks and I am soooo pleased on how the pictures turned out. Leading up to the session she gave great advice on clothing and how to style ourselves to look our best. During our session, she gave great direction and told us exactly how to pose and what to do, which eliminated any awkwardness or us being uncomfortable. And lastly, her turnaround time was great... even providing us a few sneak peeks. Kelsey is such a sweet and kind photographer and and I would definitely recommend her to capture any special moment in your life.

hotos from other weddings / family portraits / special occasions, etc. You can tell from her personality that she takes her role seriously but is so fun to work with . On our wedding day, she got to our venue early and made sure that we got all the requested photos with different family members, despite some family members being late. She really brought out the best in everyone. Now that we have our photos, we absolutely love them!!! Several are framed around our home and we created photos books for our parents. She really did a phenomenal job and we would recommend her to anyone. Also, she was willing to travel ~2.5 hours to our venue in Charlotte (we live in the Triangle area) and her price was SO reasonable, especially since our budget was pretty limited. Thank you so much Kelsey for your hardwork. You were one of the best vendors we hired and we would recommend you 100%.
