- The BEST photographer we could have hoped for!
- 10/06/2008
- Describe your favorite picture.
- Our favorite picture is probably when we are dancing and my husband was twirling me, Kelly was standing a few floors above us and the photos of that moment are incredible.
- How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
- She was so quiet when we first saw eachother on our wedding day and yet captured the entire moment. Her posed and action shots are equally impressive.
- What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
- There was an engagement session included. We also received a storybook album along with all of our proofs on a CD with the copyright. I then ordered enlargements, reprints, etc...
- How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
- She made a very detailed intinerary before the wedding day of how the pictures would go. She had everyone's names down which helped our family feel comfortable because when she was talking to them she used their names. We absolutely loved Kelly and were totally comfortable with her from day 1 when we signed the contract!

- 10/06/2008
- Describe your favorite picture.
- Kelly got an amazing photo of my husband and I looking up at her from over a railing of our church Our outside shots were incredible too!
- How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
- Kelly and Stphanie did a wonderful job of going with the follow of everything happening around them that day. They got wonderful pictures but yet were not noticable when we were doing other things. Action and posed were equally great! She caught a lot fo fun things for us to remember our special day!
- What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
- We got it all! Prints, photo albums and our engagements pictures were all included too! Our package was great because Kelly and Stephanie came before the wedding started as we were getting dressed and stayed at the reception through speeches.
- How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
- Kelly is a natural. She knows how to get everyone to smile. Our flowergirl was nervous but Kelly managed to get some go candid shots of her!

- Recommend Highly!!!
- 10/06/2008
- Describe your favorite picture.
- There are so many that I loved, that it is a little hard to choose only one favorite. But there is a great picture of my husband and I when we cut the cake that I really love!
- How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
- I didn't even see the photographer during the ceremony, but yet she got these amazing shots of everything that day.
- What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
- The photographer has a great package that included an engagement session and a coffee table album and also included cds with copyright releases of both the engagement pictures and the wedding pictures. Not many photographers offered all that, without paying huge prices, so that is one reason that we chose Friend Photography. She offered everything that we wanted at a great price and she took great pictures!
- How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
- She was really friendly and easy to work with and she really cared about getting good pictures.

- Absolutely Amazing!
- 10/03/2008
- Describe your favorite picture.
- I had too many favorite pictures, but one that is hanging over our fireplace is of the two of us looking into each other's eyes with my bouquet behind my back. The picture is at an angle and really showcases the flowers, the back of my hair, and my dress. Very unique.
- How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
- Besides our designated "photo shoot" where we took all the family pictures etc., I wouldn't have even known Kelly was around, she was that good. It wasn't until a couple days later when I saw our pictures online that I realized just how many great shots she got. I really loved the mix of traditional poses and documentary style photography. We also have numerous photos of our guests enjoying the evening which turned out fantastic. I think we have a photo of almost every guest that was at our wedding, now that is amazing!
- What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
- Our package included an engagement session, all wedding and engagement images on CDs, and a coffee table album. I think we have about 9 CDs full of photos, which came with a copyright release so we can print photos wherever we'd like. We ordered enough prints to fill our house of course, but it is also nice to have the digital images for future uses. Our coffee table album is fantastic! Not all photographers do this or do this well. The album is a great keepsake and we love having all of our favorite images in one place to share with family and friends.
- How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
- One thing that sticks out in my mind is after the wedding was over, our families raved about how great Kelly was and how personable she is. Everyone, and I mean everyone, got along with her well and she kept us on schedule, even ahead of schedule! That is very important with all of the things going on that day. Also, I have heard my friends say that they wanted to send their photographer home before the dance even started, mainly because he/she was in the way or bothering them. We definitely didn't want Kelly to go anywhere! She even stayed a bit late for us to snap those few last photos!!

- Thank Goodness I Picked Kelly...
- 10/03/2008
- Describe your favorite picture.
- It's hard to choose, but there's an awesome one of my husband and I sitting on a bench in the sunset and we're kind of sillhouetted but the sun is lighting up my vail. It's beautiful.
- How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
- I think I was so caught up in what was going on that I didn't really ever notice her moving around. I was happy with how both turned out, I think I liked my posed ones more because the sun was behind us for most of the ceremony where the light was more controlled in the posed ones. But everything was captured well. The action ones from the reception were fantastic.
- What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
- I got an album included in my package, I have made all of my prints myself. My package included full digital rights, which was very important to me, along with the album and the engagement session, along with some nice extras like wallets for the wedding. The album was very nicely done and has really impressed everyone I showed it to.
- How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
- She was just really friendly. Right off the bat, she was incredibly patient and helpful with keeping me on track and she had a whole kit of stuff that I had forgotten to bring! Plus, when her assistant fixed my broken zipper.. that was pretty much all I needed to feel completely taken care of. With the portraits, we discussed them ahead of time to avoid awkward situations with my divorced parents, which was helpful, and she was very aware of where we were taking the pictures so it would be less walking needed for the grandparents. Beyond that, she just shot a ton of pictures, which kind of puts you at ease in itself, because you know there'll be a good one.
