We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Kelsey! She skillfully captured our special day in both film and digital formats, providing us with a beautiful variety of images. Her calm and reassuring presence made everything feel effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. She paid attention to every detail and special moment, resulting in stunning photos that we'll cherish forever. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and supportive photographer!

Kelsey was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. Her photos were beyond anything we could've dreamed of and her talent far exceeded all of our expectations. She was also such a pleasure to work with and the entire wedding party adored her.

We wanted our wedding photo to have a candid and natural vibe, and to capture the happiness and joy of the big day. Kelsey totally nailed the assignment. Her photos have so much heart and warmth, and she has an excellent eye for capturing all the best moments of the occasion in the most beautiful way. She was also super helpful with the portraits - when I felt nervous at first, Kelsey was an expert at helping me to relax my facial expressions and look my best. We also love the fact that she shot a combination of film and digital photos. She was able to fully leverage the beauty of film vs. digital, and knew the perfect balance between film and digital photography.

Above all else, Kelsey was a dream to work with and a genuine joy to have at our wedding. She was incredibly accommodating and communicative from the planning stages to the day of the wedding. She was so kind and respectful, and all the guests were raving about how great she was. She was also incredibly patient with all the kids at the wedding - they absolutely loved her!

We are so grateful to Kelsey for capturing our big day in the most exquisite way. We will look to these photos with joy in all the years to come. We highly highly recommend Kelsey's photography services and can't praise her enough.

If you're looking for photography that evokes emotion while also capturing the essence of the special day, or the human-ness of your friends and family, Kelsey is the person to book. We booked Kelsey for our engagement shoot and wedding and it's the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning journey.

Our engagement photos were deliciously moody while light and we had so much fun during the session. Like most couples, we had never gotten professional photos done before but Kelsey's direction and guidance put us at ease and let us have fun together during the shoot. Most importantly, we looked and felt like ourselves! We left the shoot even more confident that she would do an amazing job for our wedding.

Leading up to the wedding, Kelsey was communicative whenever we had questions and helped us build a realistic timeline that also didn't feel like it took over the whole wedding day. As a fellow wedding professional, I had encountered photography teams that took large chunks of reception time for photography which was not ideal for us, who wanted to actively enjoy our wedding day.

On our wedding day, Kelsey was just as amazing! She found beauty in moments that we didn't even notice and captured them for us. She knew when to have us take a deep breath and calm down (as wedding days can be quite hectic!) and again, allowed us to be ourselves without feeling too staged or posed. We've had friends mention that by the end of their photography sessions, they felt a bit worn out- we never felt that way with Kelsey!

We've only gotten some sneak peeks but judging by those images, I cannot wait to relive our wedding day through the lens of her camera.

Besides her talent and artistry, Kelsey herself is a lovely human being. I'm convinced only a person as kind, patient and empathetic as she is can produce such beautiful images.

If you're looking for photography that is authentic yet artistic and indelible in the mind's eye, you cannot go wrong with Kelsey Mard photography!

As a Charlotte wedding planner, I was so excited to be introduced to Kelsey by a mutual friend! We were able to share in working a wedding together in early November. The photos Kelsey took are absolutely beautiful and totally matched what I envisioned for our lovely couple! She was so professional and calm throughout the day and it made for truly a perfect wedding day for the couple, the guests, and the entire vendor team. I highly recommend choosing Kelsey for your wedding day (or any other big day you're wanting captured) - she is incredible!! I can't wait to work with you again, Kelsey!

Kelsey is absolutely incredible, and such a pleasure with which to work! She captured our engagement photos, bridal portraits, and she did the photography for our wedding day. My wife and I do not know much about how to look good in a photo, and she was incredible in terms of finding the right venue, and directing our poses together. The photos all turned out great! The lighting and softness are wonderful, and she captures something that is emotional in the photos, that most photographers cannot capture. We also had Kelsey do some Polaroids of our wedding, and those turned out great! So much charm, and vintage goodness! She's a real pro, and very friendly person! Look no further! Go hire her!
