Simply K Studios

tions we didn’t know existed or could be captured in a photo. When we felt the pressure of the rainstorm pouring down they were confident and found beauty in every drop! Looking back on these pictures we feel the love and aww of our wedding all over again, from the first look to the last shot that could have been pulled out of a fairytale. Their inspiration and vision allowed us to be at ease, live the moment, and put our love on display. We are so happy to have worked with them! I can’t wait to look back on these photos with our friends, family, children, and grandchildren and be brought back to that staircase, barn, dance floor, every moment of that rainy summer night. A very special thank you to both Kathy and Kelly for bracing the rain and going above and beyond to capture our special day. We are eternally grateful for these memories in still frame.

bring out the most amazing photos. When it came to our wedding Kelly and Carrie were unbelievable. Carrie was so much fun as a second shooter, at one point I looked over and she was even letting my younger brother take some photos with her camera. If you're up for an adventure and a little risk to get some of the most stunning photos, Kelly is your girl, and will deliver the photos of your dreams. We will be using Simply K for years to come for all of our big life events down the road!

ice. During this whole time, Kelly was my most helpful and communicative vendor EVER. She is so easy going, helpful, kind and a pleasure to work with. Our photos came out absolutely STUNNING! Kelly and Kathy; you made our wedding day absolutely perfect. Forever your biggest fans, The Ethiers

e're glad we chose them.

and took photos without being in anyone’s way. They captured angles and shots I would have never thought of. And were flexible when all our annoying relatives insisted on shots haha. We had some family drama at the time and they were VERY good about tastefully asking said person to step out of our family shots. They were also very good with my kids (2 and 4- which was important to us). I cannot recommend Simply K enough!! Worth every penny 10 times over!

st with our big day. Simply K Studios is owned by two awesome ladies that I got to know through working in the industry and it wasn’t long before we became genuine friends. Will Wood and I were in Cancun (on a job with Simply K) when we found out we got our house and it was Kathy and her husband that we celebrated with. When it came to our wedding, we knew we had to have them as our wedding photographers. The day of, Katherine Tomasek Loiselle and Kelly Myers came with their sweet and authentic personalities, that not only did my husband and I feel at ease, but so did everyone around us. Their personal approach allowed for our story to be told as it was- parents laughed with full smiles, bridal party had fun and enjoyed getting their picture taken and above all/ my husband and I got to be us, and therefore our photographs were me and him to our core. Also did I mention our epic engagement session where Kathy not only listened to our ideas but put her own creative spin on them which blew us away. As a wedding photographer myself (and maybe I shouldn’t be saying this 🤣) I would hire Simply K over and over again for the most important day of my life. These two talented women captured very essence of who we are as a couple. Thank you, thank you Kathy and Kelly for giving us the gift of a lifetime and beyond.

lped keep our wedding timeline on track and were flexible with some last minute changes that happened day-of. Kathy and Kelly are also very, very kind when people are feeling nervous or frustrated in the days leading up to the event. Kathy sent emails periodically throughout the planning process to see if I needed help with anything or had any questions, which was very reassuring. THESE ARE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU NEED FOR YOUR WEDDING!

of uncooperative bridal parties & families; accommodating to the extreme; reassuring emotional support that rivals even the cutest therapy dog; truly cares about her clients; my new best friend. Working with Kelly was truly one of the highlights of our wedding day, which started during our first phonecall many months before. Not to be a bridezilla, but I had contacted and spoken with at least 30 different photographers before I found Simply K. Every one of those 30+ photographers managed to give me a reason not to trust them - mostly it boiled down to a lack of respect for us as people and not just subjects of their photography. Then I found Simply K. Kelly and I got on a quick phone call and it became immediately clear that Kelly's primary aim is to make a friend, and if you hire her then she'll be happy to be photographing her new friend's wedding. She listened to my story and concerns about the other photographers I had spoken to, and reassured me that we would be able to find a way to work together if that was what I wanted, and we did. During that phone call she even told me to call or text her if I needed to vent about anything at all, that she was there for me. Kelly legitimately cares about the people she works with. During the wedding, Kelly and her partner were able to wrangle a challenging 13-person bridal party (cops and firefighters don't like taking photos), a 3-year-old flower girl (cranky toddler alert), two large families with plenty of divorce and awkward dynamics to consider...and they did everything proficiently with smiles on their faces. Going back to their primary mission - at least half of our bridal party came back to us later to say how cool they thought the photographers were and how lucky we were to have them (which obv we already knew). They even showed us the photos they were capturing every so often so we could give feedback and direction if we wanted (though we never needed to do). My husband and I were also tired, stressed and barely holding it together that day and Kelly and her partner were sincerely there for us and the only vendors (including our wedding planner!) who made us feel really calm and happy. You cannot find another wedding photographer that can do all of that and still do a good job with the photos. Then, this super-photog got us our edited photos less than a month after the wedding. And they...are...FANTASTIC. I've had them for about a week, still look at them multiple times a day, still almost cry over how good they are. I have felt so much joy looking at these photos, knowing how our grandkids will eventually see them and joke about how beautiful we used to be before we got old and wrinkly, because HOT DAMN did they make us look good. I'm now trying to come up with more reasons to hire her - Christmas card? Boudoir? Maternity? Sitting in traffic on I-95? Whatever, she'll do it and she'll make it amazing. Hire this woman. You will not regret it.

was the only photographer that I met with that outlined what my wedding day timeline would look like. I didn’t realize how important this was because we were getting married in the month of December and daylight savings time would severely impact the flow of our big day. Kathy was super easy going and patient while I planned out my Christmas inspired engagement session. The pictures came out GREAT and some were even published! I knew that working with her on our wedding day would be spectacular. It was great to finally meet smelly as well. These two ladies are phenomenal and I am so happy that I chose them to document the most special day of my life!

dding that showcased some of the city's architecture, we wanted a photographer who had some experience shooting there, and Simply K Studios fit the bill! We clicked right away with Kelly at our in-person meeting, and she made us feel super comfortable during our engagement shoot (my normally shy then-fiancé really lit up in front of the camera!). Working with Kelly and Kerry on our wedding day was an absolute pleasure. I loved having the ladies in my suite before the ceremony to capture the special moments with my bridesmaids and the moms, and from there I knew we were in great hands to get some truly lovely images for the rest of the day. Kelly was a great sport and even jumped into my husband's '52 International pickup truck with us following the ceremony! The three of us squished in the front seat, driving around Hartford is one memory we still laugh at today. Kelly has such a great eye, and while we had some ideas of locations and shots to get leading up to the big day, we loved how she could roll with things and come up with creative images right on the spot. If you want beautiful photos and a really special experience with kind, talented people on your big day, book Simply K Studios!

ere breathtaking and really captured what we wanted. Kathy and Jessie were so helpful on our wedding day with making sure to as many photos as possible to really capture the whole day. I love the quality of the work and they took the time to go over everything with us before and after each shoot in detail, which was very helpful. If you need a photographer, look no further than Simply K, they are Simply Amazing!!!!

photos of the wedding. They love to experiment and try new things for beautiful pictures. We highly recommend them.

ng eyes for beautiful pictures. We are so thrilled with all of our wedding photos and would highly recommend this company for you! You’re missing out if you don’t go with Simply K.

bsolutely flawless and so great to work with! We had such a good time doing not only one engagement photo session in Granby, CT but another out in Arizona!! It was truly a blast working with Kathy and Kelly. You will not be disappointed if you choose Simply K. I promise! They are willing to accommodate to you and make sure that your getting exactly what you want. Thank you for everything!

I will always treasure. At the wedding, one of the bridal party dresses didn’t arrive and her smart thinking, calm attitude, and sheer professionalism prevented me from having a total meltdown while others worked to solve the dress faux pas. I can’t speak highly enough of Kelly and her other photographer, David, and how pleasant working with them was. As for her photos, they’re amazing and the work displayed on her website and social media pages speaks for itself. If you need a wedding photographer who you’ll enjoy personally and professionally, Simply K Studios is definitely the way to go!

nt pictures & on our wedding day - our family & bridal party loved them too! They didn't even complain about taking pictures outside in the freezing weather :) I can't say enough about how beautiful all our pictures came out and would get married again just to hire them! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

re never on top of us, but they were still capturing the day perfectly. Kathy and her team were amazing, we highly recommend them to capture your beautiful day!

able to work with them and get to know them while still in the beginning stages of planning our own wedding. We didn't even bother to research other photographers, because after spending time with them, seeing how they work, and seeing the INCREDIBLE pictures they take, we knew they were the only wedding photographers we wanted! When we arrived at the studio for our initial meeting, Kelly went over all the different packages they offer, and all the details of both the engagement shoot and the wedding day. Her attention to detail is amazing; she had even taken the time to look up when sunset would be on our wedding day, so that she could give us an accurate timeline of how our wedding day shoot would proceed! Her communication was wonderful, and she was able to answer all of my questions, and always replied promptly to any emails I sent her. They offer customer packages, depending on the amount of coverage you are looking for, as well as how long you want them there, and are super flexible about travel. My husband and I got ready for the wedding in different locations, and it was wonderful that Kelly could be there to capture the girls getting ready, while Kathy attended to the guys. What we loved the most about working with them, both for the engagement shoot, as well as the wedding, was how natural and comfortable they made us feel. They offered suggestions about where to stand or in which direction to look, but they didn't try to get us into any silly or uncomfortable poses; they encouraged us to act naturally, so that they could capture the moments as they unfolded. When we told them where the wedding would be held, they even found an amazing private location to take outdoor shots that was just a few minutes from our wedding venue! They made us feel like King and Queen for the day! As far as the pictures, their work speaks for itself. The photographs are nothing short of breathtaking. The wedding photos were one of the most important parts of the wedding for me, and these ladies gave me memories that exceeded all of my expectations. They made me feel beautiful, special, and important. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelly and Kathy of Simply K Studios. They are easygoing and so much fun to work with, and exhibit the utmost professionalism. I will recommend them to anyone looking to capture important moments, and have amazing photographs to cherish. We certainly cherish ours! Thank you so, so much!! Megan Moore

n the groom's party was going crazy and late, Kelly never got bothered and made everything work. The pictures came out amazing and my wife and I could not be happier. We will be going to back to Kelly and Simply K Studios for any other photography needs!

ut - but from the photos, you'd have no clue it was even cloudy. They captured bright, colorful pics throughout the night and really captured some amazing memories to look back on. They captured all of the shots on our request list efficiently, and without being intrusive or following us around. We loved the artistic shots of our flowers and venue so much that we printed some as artwork for our home. So talented and easy going - can't wait to have more things to take pictures of so that I can call Simply K! <3

thing more! Kathy was timely and made us feel more than comfortable in front of the camera. Kathy does whatever it takes to get the "perfect" shot! She inquired about our specific day-of requests and made sure she stayed true to our photography timeline on our big day. We feel so lucky to have lifelong memories that truly capture how perfect our July wedding was. Thank you Simply K!

itially the day of the wedding was a little chaotic! Us girls were running late and I was a little thrown off to say the least. Kelly wasn't phased at all, she just worked on getting the pictures of the people who were there, so by the time we arrived, there wasn't much time lost at all. All the pictures came out amazing! She went above and beyond for us. We will look at the pictures years down the road and remember everything from that night because both Kelly and Elena captured so much. We are so grateful to have had such amazing photographers for one of the most important night of our lives. :)

our wedding story. She was so welcoming and although we had no idea what we were looking for, she had nothing but patience. Her work blew us away - some photos genuinely take away your breath and I have never seen more in one place. Kelly really became invested in our lives during our wedding planning and she and I emailed as if we were old friends. My now husband is photo shy and right off the bat at our engagement session she put him at ease. She captured the beauty of a sunset and somehow managed to make it shine brighter with our love. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her and Kathy. They were seamlessly integrated into the crowd during the ceremony and throughout the day- I feel like I never really saw them outside formals, but they sure got some incredible candids!! The girls got the wedding party all wrangled together despite our rowdy natures and got beautiful formals and even more wonderful in between moments. The only bad part about our whole experience with them is that we can't hang every photo on the wall. Every person I have shown our photos to has been wildly impressed. I absolutely recommend you stop here and contact Simply K. Kelly and Kathy will make you their priority. You will have the best experience of your life and have flawless, stunning, beautiful photos to show off forever. I will never regret this decision. They gave me an irreplaceable gift. After all is said and done, what do you have left from your wedding day other than your memories and your photos?

ice, responsive, and helpful! In October of 2016 we had our engagement session which we were extremely nervous about (being awkward, not knowing what to do), but Kathy made us feel completely comfortable! Once we got our engagement photos (which we absolutely loved) we could not wait to have Kathy photograph our wedding day in July of 2017! WEDDING: Scott and I got married on July 22nd of 2017 at Maneeley's in South Windsor and our day was perfect! Kathy and Kelly captured our wedding day from beginning to end perfectly. There were so many times that I had forgotten they were even there, which really gave them the chance to capture true, honest, and raw emotions. Scott and I did a first look and I am soooo glad! It was a hot day, so we definitely looked our best those first few hours! It did not take anything away from the actual ceremony at all. I still felt the ceremony was the most emotional part of the day. Kathy was so easy to communicate with before and after the wedding. She always made me feel more like a friend than a client. We got our photos just 4 short weeks after the wedding and we could not be happier with them!!! When we went to pick them up, not only did we get the photos, but we were surprised with a very thoughtful and beautiful gift! Kathy and Kelly, thank you so much for capturing moments that Scott and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are looking forward to working with you in the future!
