About Balsam Portraits & Weddings

Balsam Portraits & Weddings

Photographer

Hello, I'm Kelly! Balsam Portraits and Weddings began in 2020, inspired by my deep love for storytelling and the mountains I’ve always called home. Raised in Hendersonville, NC, I cherish capturing intimate weddings where personalities shine, emotions flow, and every day is uniquely its own. I focus on the real, in-between moments—the quiet glances, the laughter, and the details that matter most. My goal is to document your wedding with honesty and artistry, creating memories that feel as real decades from now as they do today.

"You photograph the things that I notice in the way that I notice them." – A past bride This perfectly sums up my approach to wedding photography: capturing the small, fleeting moments, the emotions, and the details that make your day uniquely yours. My goal is to document your wedding with the same care and perspective that you would if you could step back and take it all in.

    Kelly was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional and creative, giving us photos that we will cherish forever. She is a great communicator and is well versed in the wedding business, which helped us get the variety of candid and posed shots that we really wanted. We did a regular shoot, engagement photos, and our wedding photography through Balsam Photography, and we will most certainly use her in the future!

    We hired Kelly at Balsam to photograph our wedding! She was nothing short of professional, timely, and incredibly fun to work with. We had around 100 guests not including wedding parties, and Kelly managed to photograph all the important, goofy, and treasured moments throughout the whole day. She seemed to be everywhere at once and missed nothing, all without me (the bride) hardly even noticing when and where she was shooting. Getting the photos back was like reliving one of the best days of our lives. She also was kind and fliexible enough to help us figure out a livestream setup so my husband’s very dear grandfather, too sick to travel for the event, was able to be included in the ceremony. The whole day went off so smoothly, Kelly was on point the whole time, and now we have gorgeous shots of all our favorite moments of the day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Balsam. I’ll also mention she shot our engagement photos as well - if I start talking about how perfect that day was, as well as the photos that came out of it, I’ll never stop. Nothing short of perfect.

  • Kelly is a superstar.

    Working with Kelly is like an easy going, and wonderful dream. Being on both sides of working with her- as another vendor, as well as being in front of her camera, I am happy to report that she’s fabulous and captures your shoot for what it truly is. She has a way to put you completely at ease, and doesn’t make anything feel forced or posed. Capturing candid moments while they are actually happening. She communicates great, and works well with other vendors to take any stress away, allowing everything to run smoothly. Not to mention how stunning her photos are.
