It was very nice working with Chris he was professional and did a great job! It was comfortable and he was very clear in his instructions making it as painless as possible (for those of us that feel awkward in front of the camera). He was also very well organized and used the time to our advantage. The pictures came out better than we could have hoped for and it was very reasonably priced.
From start to finish, Chris Kelly Photography did a phenomenal job! Whether it was our engagement photos, our intimate porch wedding or the grand reception to follow, Chris captured “us” at every step of the way. He was attentive, communicative, flexible and above all, professional. We were amazed at the moments he was able to capture that would have been lost to us if not for his quiet, behind-the-scenes maneuvering and keen attention to detail. We can not say enough just how pleased we are with his efforts and the entire experience. We love our photos and the sweet memories they hold. It was a pleasure and a joy to work with Chris!
Chris went above and beyond to meet us at our family ranch for our engagement pictures (almost 2 hours out of his way) and then another trek for our wedding photos. My husband and I are both rather uncomfortable with staged photos but he made the whole experience feel natural and fun! He works so well with other vendors and was low key, no drama. The pictures turned out remarkable. He captured the style and lighting I liked. I feared the price, but Chris built a package for us that fit in our budget and exceeded expectations. I wish I could use Chris for every life event.
Such a good posing coach! I didn't have to worry about how to pose myself because Chris was full of ideas and was very descriptive on how to get into such attractive poses. Chris was also very professional and very concerned with making sure that I, the client, felt 100% comfortable. I really appreciated those efforts! Plus the photos ended up being amazing! I'll definitely book another shoot with him in the future! - happy customer
I will comment on this for the ladies who are nervous, anxious, not sure about the budget, alllllllll the feels before pulling the trigger on booking. I have been looking for a photographer to do a boudoir shoot for myself for 3 years now. I started looking @ 29 because that was going to be my 30th bday present to myself... then I opened a business and it didn’t make sense to me at the time. But I KNEW I wanted to do it & I kept researching people in the Austin to Houston, and San Antonio to Dallas area. I also talked to several girls & their response was either, “I’m so glad I did it” or “I wish I had done it before {enter life events}.” I had a budget of $1000-$1500 in mind for the shoot & pics. I saved up a little & also knew it was an investment. An investment for present and future self. I’m never going to be as young & “tight faced” {haha} as I am now!! Also, how freaking cool will it be later in life to hear, “wow, mom/grandma/auntie {whatever I become} was a FOX back in the day!! 😂🙌🏼” it’s a keepsake & I am a lover of all photos... anywhoooo...
Pre-Shoot: When I first talked to Chris, he was so understanding, kind and I felt she TRULY cared about what *I* wanted vs. trying to sell me on what he wanted me to buy. This was HUGE for me because I had met with 3 other boudoir photographers prior to Chris. The days leading up to and the day of the shoot, I was literally so nervous because
1. I’m very modest about clothing, being naked or partially naked in front of people &
2. Holy shit, I’ve never done this before.
During the shoot, Chris deserves all the credit for how the photos turned out... he told me where to turn my head, open your mouth, close your eyes, flip your hair, etc. Not only did he tell me how to look fantastic, most importantly, he made me FEEL amazing & sexy... that my friends, is something you CANNOT put a price on. I had so much fun during my shoot that I went from almost cancelling because of nerves to being like, “we’re done already?!”
Reveal Day: I should let you know something before my next statement. I am not an emotional girl... i can count on one hand where I had that whole “tears of joy” feeling haha. Walking into Chris's studio & seeing all of my pics displayed & the video of all my pictures with Chris was one of those few times I felt tears of joy happiness. I don’t even know if Chris caught the tear that slid down my cheek that day lol. The feeling seeing the work Chris put into the shoot & photos for YOU is an indescribable feeling. I ended up purchasing the biggest package (matted photos, big print & hard drive of pics) because at that point I didn’t give a shit how much it cost. I am not rich. I don’t have a lot of money saved up for things like this; however, it’s just like anything else we do in life. How big of a priority is it for you? If it’s up on your list, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
Women are typically selfless creatures. Always doing for others when we go without... so when was the last time you did something for yourself? “Pay yourself” if you will.
I am here to tell you, you will not be disappointed and this won’t be on your “regret” list later in life. Just do the damn thing ladies!!! You freaking deserve it.
I have so many things to say but if you just take a moment to glance at his work... you already know! Simply AMAZING! The whole experience was fantastic and the photos.... THE PHOTOS!!! I''m just so in love with them! THANK YOU!!
Chris was awesome to work with. He was very open to adding in some of my ideas along with having great ones of his own. He is very easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable through out the session. I was very pleased with the shots that I was given.
What a great day! Chris has a way of making me very comfortable and confident. After a couple of bad experiences from other photographers, I finally found the right one! I definitely will recommend him to anyone looking, and even people who aren't!
I have worked with Venture Photography a few times now and have enjoyed everytime. He has a great way of making you feel at ease and confident! He is my favorite photographer to work with and I will ne booking him for any big event in the future.
