“If you are looking for a photographer who is so authentic, down to earth, and cool that you end your consultation call thinking “I could be friends with this person,” then wrap up your engagement photos thinking “I want to be friends with this person,” and then end your wedding day thinking “am I now friends with this person?” look no further.
The most important thing to us when hiring vendors for our October 2023 wedding was to hire people whose work captured and reflected our own values. This meant vendors who not only work with, but proudly showcase diverse couples of various races, genders, sizes, and backgrounds. Scrolling through Kelsey’s website and Instagram demonstrate this better than any other wedding vendor in all of Kansas City. Stumbling upon her social media was such a breath of fresh air as I saw couples and love stories being featured who looked like us.
In the months since, not a single conversation about our wedding has not mentioned Kelsey. Everyone from our wedding party, to family members, to guests have all mentioned how comfortable and confident she made them feel. I didn’t think we could be more pleased with Kelsey’s work and then she delivered our full album. WOW. Kelsey. Doesn’t. Miss. Every moment, every emotion, every face at our entire wedding was captured so beautifully. We are still struggling to pick favorites to print, so in the mean time we purchased a digital picture frame that serves as a miniature museum dedicated to Kelsey’s incredible talent.
Our wedding is over and we live in Massachusetts, but we are already planning to hire Kelsey again when the time comes for us to take maternity and family photos in future years. In the meantime I will recommend her to any KC area bride, read the books she recommends on Instagram, and be cheering her on from the East Coast.”
