I have known Kelsey since elementary school, and aside from being an incredible friend, she has become best-in-class photographer. She previously has done family portraits and mate...
rnity/newborn photos for our broader family, and she was the first vendor I emailed after getting engaged. From our first consult, Kelsey brought professionalism, energy, and creativity, instilling my confidence that she was the perfect choice to document our day. Our engagement photos turned out great, even despite some foggy weather. Leading up to wedding day, she was extremely organized and thoughtful about a realistic timeline. On the day of, everything was a dream. She gave us great guidance on poses while ensuring everything felt like us! Even despite a compressed timeline and unexpected tornado warnings, Kelsey captured our day perfectly and we love the results. We received over 100 previews within 48 hours, and our full album within two months. We can’t wait to see the physical album come together. We will cherish all of the photos forever.
I cannot recommend Kelsey enough!
Working with Kelsey to document our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made. We knew we wanted a photographer who could capture all aspects of the day in a way that not...
only portrayed “us” but also provided an artistic flair. We wanted richness of color, posed and candid moments, and framing that highlighted the character of each location, particularly our venue. Kelsey hit every mark and exceeded all expectations.
We first had our engagement shoot, which gave us the opportunity to get comfortable! Kelsey was so great, and we quickly became more comfortable and confident (particularly for me because I am not generally comfortable having my photo taken pretty much ever). We were really blown away by the results and knew the wedding was going to be amazing.
Our wedding day went really smoothly, and we captured pictures at each location timely. While we were moving swiftly, we never felt rushed and we were never behind. She was great at giving direction and, after having such a great result from the engagement shoot, we fully trusted her vision. This allowed us to “go with it.” She provided a natural level of comfort that was very much appreciated.
After going through the extensive wedding planning process, I know how important it is for those you work with to be prompt and communicative. Kelsey was both of those! She was clear in expectations, and we never had to follow up for anything, which was a relief.
The evening was amazing, and she captured a lot of great shots. We loved seeing all the moments we missed and how our guests were enjoying themselves. Kelsey is an amazing person and incredible photographer. We highly recommend!
Selecting a wedding photographer is more than just picking someone with a nice camera; it's about finding an artist whose style resonates with your vision and whose professionalism...
ensures a seamless experience. Our journey with Kelsey Diane Photography offers valuable insights into this process. Kelsey's distinctive style, characterized by her adept use of natural light and a modern aesthetic, was the deciding factor for us. This highlights the importance of truly connecting with a photographer's artistic approach, as it fundamentally dictates the final mood and feel of your wedding album.
The pre-wedding communication sets the stage, and Kelsey excelled here. Her prompt responses (within 24 hours) and ability to keep us informed, even with a lengthy engagement (2.5 years), demonstrated proactive client management. The engagement shoot, often a source of nerves, became a crucial learning experience. Kelsey's talent for creating a comfortable environment allowed us to relax and genuinely produce candid moments, proving that a good photographer can elicit authentic emotion regardless of initial shyness.
On the wedding day, a photographer's presence impacts the entire event. Kelsey and her second photographer, Caitlin, balanced directive guidance during formal bridal party and family portraits with an almost invisible presence during the ceremony and reception. This dual approach ensures both essential posed shots and unscripted, genuine moments are captured. Her ability to manage unexpected challenges was particularly telling; when the bride fell ill, Kelsey’s immediate, attentive response and quick adaptation (finding a cool-off spot) while still maintaining the timeline, underscores the critical value of a photographer's problem-solving skills and composure under pressure.
Ultimately, the final product is key. Receiving sneak peek photos within 24 hours offers immediate gratification. The photos came out gorgeous and we have received multiple compliments regarding them. The delivery of the full, high-quality, well-edited photos within 4-5 weeks via an online portal is a standard to look for, ensuring timely access to your memories. We received exceptional value for her services; her quality out-matched her price, standing out more favorably compared to other photographers we considered. We had spoken with other photographers who were either significantly more expensive for similar quality or similarly priced for much lower quality, making Kelsey Diane Photography a stand-out choice for us. We highly recommend her for her exceptional talent and professionalism. We hope to utilize her again for family portraits as well!
We ADORED working with Kelsey. We were so impressed by how responsive and attentive she is as a vendor. She really takes the time to get to know you during your first meeting and t...
he engagement photoshoot - multiple people in our wedding party assumed Kelsey was one of our close friends because of the rapport we built up with her over the past year. Her photos are always vibrant and she has a talent for capturing the emotions of the day. She even had our preview photos ready for us literally the day after our wedding to share with friends and family. One of the easiest wedding planning decisions we made was choosing her as our photographer. Hire her today!
Kelsey was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so fun for our whole wedding and kept the flow of the day so easy and fun. She was so fast at getting our pictures back and they...
are amazing! She exceeded all expectations we had for a wedding photographer. We would recommend her over and over again and will definitely use her for any and all future photography needs!
Kelsey is incredible and gave me the photos of my dreams.
Since the beginning she gave me piece of mind in every aspect of my wedding by drawing up extremely detailed timelines and...
constantly talking me through everything. She was the one aspect of my wedding I felt I never had to worry about because I knew I could count on her.
On the day of she took charge and got us through all the photos so quickly and seamlessly to where my husband and I had plenty of time to hike up red rocks and take golden hour photos with the most perfect back drop.
She captured every aspect of the wedding perfectly and even the little things I wouldn’t have even thought of.
She made me feel so comfortable during our wedding day and absolutely beautiful after getting the photos back. She made me feel like a friken PRINCESS which is all I ever wanted.
I would recommend her to anyone for weddings, family photos, anything. She’s honestly the best.
Kelsey is such an amazing photographer and an absolute delight to work with. Even if you aren't comfortable in front of a camera normally, she puts you at ease and captures you and...
your loved ones beautifully. She truly listens to what you want and makes it happen, finding fabulous backgrounds and lighting wherever you end up taking photos. Both for our engagement shoot and wedding, she gave us an incredible set of preview pictures after just a day. 10/10 recommend😊
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.
Kelsey was the first person we hired for our wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. She captures REAL love in photos in a way I never thought possible. she makes you so comfort...
able, I honestly forgot we were taking pictures half the time because we were having so much fun. these photos are just part of the preview, which by the way we received 12 HOURS after our wedding!! OMG. She is a calming presence and goes above and beyond your day of. HIRE HER NOW.
Kelsey was absolutely amazing. My husband and I rarely take pictures and do not like being in front of the camera, but she managed to do a great job making us feel comfortable and ...
capturing tons of amazing pictures of the two of us, as well as our wedding party and friends and family. I loved basically every picture in the previews she shared with us, and when we got the full album, I was blown away by the quantity and quality of the images. 100% recommend booking Kelsey if you can, she is worth every penny!
Kelsey is easily the best photographer I have worked with- she is kind, genuine, and extremely creative! She gave us a "sneak peak" of our wedding day pictures the day after and th...
ey turned out beautiful! My fiancé and I are very awkward in front of the camera, but Kelsey made us feel comfortable. We highly recommend!
Kelsey is incredibly talented!!! We found Kelsey for our engagement photos and loved her work so much, we asked her to come to Colorado to shoot our wedding. Best choice ever! She ...
did such a great job making us feel comfortable and natural during the whole process. She perfectly captured the most important moments of our wedding day! Beyond the great work she does, she is the kindest person with such a fun personality. We had multiple guests comment on how great she was to work with as she directed our group photos. We would hire Kelsey over and over again for any photography needs we ever have!
Kelsey is fantastic! She makes you feel very comfortable when she takes your photo. We only have had fun experiences with her. She is able to send out a lot of photos for you to se...
e within about 24 hours. And the rest within a month or so. I am always so impressed when I received my photos back. She is able to capture us at our best and we look so natural. I also love how bright and vibrant the photos turn out. She knows what she is doing and I 100% recommend her for any of your photo needs!
Kelsey was the absolute best wedding photographer! She is great to work with and gets amazing wedding photos taken in a timely manner. I have gotten so many compliments on our wedd...
ing photos. I have been in other weddings with different photographers and Kelsey is the best photographer by far in comparison to others I’ve experienced.
You need to hire Kelsey as your wedding photographer right now. I found Kelsey through Instagram after looking at tagged photos of my venue. I fell in love with her style of editin...
g (very natural/timeless, but slightly enhanced) and knew we’d be a good match when we bonded over our cats via email and zoom.
I was immediately at ease shooting with Kelsey during our engagement session and wedding day. As someone who does not feel comfortable in front of the camera or like a lot of attention, Kelsey took the lead and directed me, my husband, and our wedding party effortlessly. She’s also hilarious and is good at cracking a few jokes / teasing the guys to get everyone to loosen up.
One thing that impressed me about Kelsey was the DAY AFTER our wedding she sent over 127 fully edited previews mid-afternoon. I was shocked since after many of my friends’ weddings, they only received 5-10 pictures a week later.
If you’re looking for an experienced photographer who is excellent at her job and extremely down-to-earth, Kelsey is your gal. I know I’ll be using her for many years to come.
Choose Kelsey! That’s the review…. but seriously I looked through a lot of portfolios in my search for a wedding photographer. I’m very sentimental and finding the right person to ...
photograph my day was a huge deal for me. I wanted someone that wasn’t just great at taking posed shots but who could really capture organic moments. My husband doesn’t love taking pictures and the more you ask him to pose the more awkward it gets. So it was super important to have a photographer that could put him at ease and get some great candid photos. Kelsey was amazing! We loved her vibe from our first meeting. She made my husband feel so comfortable and got his genuine smile and personality to come through. She was so helpful in coming up with a back up plan when we had to scrap our original engagement shoot location due to weather. On our wedding day, she helped keep everyone organized to get the photos I wanted. She was also very understanding when I was over taking posed photos. From our engagement shots to the previews from our wedding day, every photo has been absolutely beautiful. I would choose Kelsey again in a heartbeat.
Kelsey is beyond the best, no words could explain how great her photography is. She also is a wonderful individual, she makes sure to capture what you want and will be honest with ...
you always. She is LGBT+ friendly and traveled to Manhattan Kansas to photograph my partner and my wedding. She is a light photographer and I have nothing bad to say about any of her work or her. She gets to know you before the wedding as well so she can do the work the best she can. If you need her to tell people to move she will and it is the best. Thank you Kelsey for being you and doing an outstanding job!
Kelsey is truly wonderful. We had our engagement session with her back when COVID first started and she was very communicative with us and flexible in adjusting our plans to safely...
do the session. She was again very flexible when we decided to postpone our wedding due to COVID. During this 2.5 year time she remained very communicative and helpful to us.
She instantly makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera due to her laid back, funny personality and this was no exception on our wedding day. Her second shooter was wonderful as well.
Kelsey sent us numerous preview pics the DAY after our wedding, and our entire gallery was sent to us within a few weeks. All of them are so beautiful and perfectly captured our day. We are so happy we hired Kelsey and would do so again in a heartbeat!
Kelsey was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding process. She is timely, professional, and just overall so amazing. She went above an beyond on the wedding day and helpe...
d us so much. My pictures turned out stunning as well. She got them back to us in a month!!! I cannot recommend her enough!!!!!!
Kelsey is the absolute best! Finding the right photographer was the top of my priority list, and as soon as I talked to Kelsey I knew I had found our person. She is kind, professio...
nal, thorough and does amazing work. You can tell how much she truly cares about what she does and making a genuine connection to everyone she photographs. I am so happy we found Kelsey not only as our wedding photographer, but for our future too!
Kelsey did an AMAZING job, we are so glad we picked her for our wedding. Very highly recommend!
Kelsey was very easy to work with and always got back to us promptly. She has the p...
erfect balance of professionalism while still being very laidback. Our pictures were fun and non-stressful, felt like hanging out with a friend!
Our photos are BEAUTIFUL, we're very happy with them. We got a huge sneak peek after only 36 hrs. She even did a faceswap for a picture my mom wanted to hang over our fireplace - she has truly gone above and beyond!
We so appreciate everything she did for our wedding and will ask her for family photos in the future. Highly recommend!!
There are so many reasons to recommend Kelsey but I will stick with the two that matter: 1) She is so incredibly nice. 2) She genuinely takes the best pictures.
Kelsey's pictures...
are beautiful, they are genuine, they actually look like you (!), and they represent your day perfectly. She is so fun, she knows what she wants, she's not afraid to get you there and by golly it's going to turn out amazing. We loved working with her multiple times over the course of our pandemic-affected wedding and celebration and we are so happy with our photos. Thanks again Kelsey!
Kelsey took out engagement photos and they were absolutely beautiful! She is wonderful, professional and kind! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Due to the pandemic, we postponed our wedding and we lost our original photographer. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we were fortunate enough to have found Kelsey. ...
She was exactly what we wanted in a photographer. She was not shy about instructing everyone (in a respectful way) to ensure that all of the photos looked balanced and well proportioned. It was very clear that she's an absolute professional but also very fun to have during our wedding day. Bonus: She worked seamlessly with our videographer. On top of the positive experiences with our engagement session and wedding day, her work is so perfect and hard to find. She embraces natural colors with her editing style and we know that our photos are timeless and not trendy. Kelsey is an absolute recommend.. not even close!
Wedding photographer of our DREAMS. Kelsey is the most incredible photographer and person. I have known Kelsey for a very long time and have been following her work for years. It w...
as a complete no-brainer when hiring her for our wedding. (She was actually the first vendor we hired for our wedding since I knew how badly I wanted to work with her). I honestly would give her a 100 stars if it was allowed. She's the full package. She's nice, smart, caring, super understanding, talented, thoughtful, AND hilarious. Nearly all our photos of us laughing were because of her. Since she was our first vendor, she even gave us a list of recommendations of other wedding vendors. Shoot - she even gives killer book recommendations. Kelsey made us feel completely comfortable during our engagement session, family session and wedding. She knew how to pose us and make us look like freaking models. She is super creative with her photos and will capture your memories perfectly. Kelsey goes above and beyond to make every session amazing. All of her photos are just jaw-dropping gorgeous. She delivered nearly 100 previews of our wedding the NEXT DAY. Everyone I show our photos to comments on how incredibly talented Kelsey is. She captures people’s true personalities. Whether she is capturing a wedding, senior photos, maternity photos, family photos - your love will shine through her photos. A photo is worth a thousand words they say, well I believe Kelsey’s photos speak millions. When looking at her photos, you can really feel the emotion captured in that photograph. We just have so much love and admiration for this woman. Seriously, Kelsey is the BEST photographer you could ever hire. We cannot recommend her enough. We won't stop recommending her to everyone we know.
I will always recommend Kelsey to everyone! She is so fun and bubbly and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was so understanding during the re-planning of ou...
r wedding due to COVID. Our wedding party was a little crazy and she did a great job of wrangling everyone for some amazing pictures. The number of pictures that we got from our wedding is INSANE and there are SO many to pick from! 10 stars!!!!
If I could give her more stars, I totally would! John and I LOVED working with Kelsey! She did our engagement session as well as our wedding. She was so pleasant to work with, answ...
ered all of our questions so quickly, and the images came out so beautifully! My parents, relatives, and friends all told us how much they loved the images from the wedding (even the pickier ones)! She got our best angles and beautiful lighting. When the pandemic interfered with our original wedding plans, Kelsey worked with us to reschedule and adjust our shots -- she was so understanding. All in all, we were very happy that we went with her!
Kelsey is awesome! Our wedding plan was flipped completely on its head 4 days before our wedding and Kelsey was amazing at not only still accommodating us a day early, but capturin...
g pure magic! She is so fun to work with and her photos are incredible! We would choose her over and over and cannot wait to use her in the future for more photos! Can’t recommend her enough!
We can't say enough good things about Kelsey! She is organized, timely, thorough, professional, personable and we LOVE our photos! We loved working with her so much, that my husban...
d wanted her to stay and hang out after our wedding. After the wedding day, we had so many guests tell us how much they liked her! She is so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We love our photos and already want to book her again for a mini session as our family grows.
I cannot express into enough words how great and amazing Kelsey is! We hired her over a year in advance and it was the best decision we made for our wedding day! From the first tim...
e we met for coffee to the actual wedding day, Kelsey is incredibly profession and frankly one of the best in her profession. I hope to NEVER need to hire another photographer for all of our major life events to come! She makes getting in front of the camera easy and the pictures look natural. If she’s available for your wedding day, I wouldn’t hesitate to book her. She will not disappoint! We cannot wait to get the rest of our wedding pictures! Kelsey, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
We are huge Kelsey fans. We started chatting about our options with Kelsey before we even had a date set. I loved that her portfolio contained genuine and real photos - capturing t...
he couples as their true selves which is something we both really wanted! She was super flexible with all of my back and forth with the dates before we had even met in person! Once we got to meet and chat details, we both knew it was a great match! My now hubby came out of the meeting saying we had to book her which for a person who doesn’t love taking photos was the cherry on top for booking Kelsey! Due to COVID we had to shift our engagement photos a couple of times and Kelsey kept us as a priority but made the extra effort that our photos would be safe for both us and her which we really appreciated. Bonus perks about Kelsey is that she writes many blogs including one with ideas on where/what to wear for engagement photos and beyond. Kelsey was not only supportive as a photographer, but also helped us plan out our day of timeline and navigate all things COVID which was extremely helpful for me since I did not hire a day of coordinator. On the day of Kelsey was nothing short of amazing. She great with boys and making them comfortable with photos (which can be a challenge) and knocks out family photos in an organized and quick fashion. She made sure I had all the photos I wanted including making sure she asked me if there were any other photos I wanted before leaving the reception. She captured the most amazing photos and turned around 100 previews in less than 24 hours (for real!!!!). Since we’ve received our full album and our friends/family (and us!!!!) are raving and have a hard time selecting our favorites because they’re all that good. We seriously cannot thank Kelsey enough for all her support and the beautiful photos. We can only hope she stays in the business forever so we can book her for future sessions as we have more big moments in our life!
Do yourself a favor and book Kelsey right now. We are absolutely obsessed with our engagement and wedding photos. Before we even got engaged, I knew I wanted to hire Kelsey as our ...
photographer. I loved how Kelsey’s Instagram is a celebration of couples of all shapes and sizes. I could see myself in the women she photographed and showcased on her social media. That is just one of the many reasons why we love Kelsey! Her communication, flexibility, speediness, and hype girl skills were all unbelievable.
Kelsey was nothing short of spectacular when we made the decision to postpone our big wedding celebration. She was quick to reply when we worked on securing our new date. We were thrilled when we were also able to have Kelsey photograph our microwedding this year. She so perfectly captured our love, joy, and emotions. Along with giving us photos we will cherish forever, she gave us peace of mind. She communicated her safety protocols, wore her mask the entire time, maintained a safe distance and didn’t bat an eye when some family members wore masks in photos. Planning a Covid wedding is stressful, but I was never concerned about Kelsey not taking safety seriously. We cannot thank her enough for being so responsible and helping to keep our family safe on our wedding day. Hiring Kelsey was easily the best decision we made.
Kelsey was an ALL STAR. When all the COVID stuff started, she was so helpful and let us not set a new date right away (we wanted to make sure things had calmed down a bit). When we...
finally chose a date with only about a month's notice, Kelsey was able to make it work and travel to Topeka so that we could have our wedding in the park. Our photography is better than I even imagined. I cried when I saw the photos ❤ I rarely feel good about photos of myself, and for the first time in my life, I'm not being self critical while looking at the photos, I'm just amazed that Kelsey could capture our happiness in a beautiful way we will cherish forever. I would STRONGLY recommend Kelsey to anyone!
Kelsey was the first photographer we met with and I knew right away that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. Our engagement session was a breeze and I felt so comfortable in f...
ront of the camera. Did I mention she is hilarious? My cheeks hurt from laughing so much at our engagement session and I cannot wait for our wedding day in October!
Kelsey is awesome. Period. She produces the best shots and really pulls out the emotion. She did our engagement shoot and wedding photography. She sent 87 pictures over to us less ...
than 24 hours after our wedding day and they were AMAZING!!! The engagement shoot is a necessity. I totally thought I didn’t want it, but it really opened up our relationship and comfortability in front of the camera. Kelsey is supportive of adjustments and suggestions. Can’t wait to book her for our future maternity and family shoots!
Booking Kelsey as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best AND easiest decisions we made! From our initial contact via email and meeting up for a coffee consultation to ...
our engagement session and wedding day we were highly impressed by Kelsey. She is bubbly, fun, timely, caring, and professional. She makes you feel like a natural in front of the camera and EVERY photo looks amazing. My husband and I had so much fun at our engagement session and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day Kelsey was there by our sides for not only photo taking but also adjusting my bustle and pinning boutonnieres. When Kelsey told us we would only need half an hour for family photos we had our doubts. She hopped up on a chair and perfectly executed taking a million combinations of our large families! She has such an eye for detail and we absolutely adore all the candid photos she captured of our guests. She even brought hand warmers for us as we took photos in the chilly November air! We look forward to reliving our wedding day through the stunning photos she captured. Do yourself a favor and book Kelsey! You will not regret it!
I am SO GLAD that we hired Kelsey to photograph our wedding! Hiring Kelsey was probably the best wedding decision I made aside from choosing the right husband! She exceeded every e...
xpectation I had for a wedding photographer. From the first email I received from Kelsey she has always been timely, professional, friendly and fun! My husband hates pictures so I was nervous about our engagement session, but Kelsey immediately made both of us feel comfortable and like we had all been friends for a long time.
Kelsey kept in great communication with me prior to the wedding and made sure she had all of the information she needed. On the day of the wedding Kelsey arrived on time and immediately started taking photos. Kelsey handled everything from getting ready photos to first look to stressful family photos with ease. We recently received all of our photos and I cannot stop looking at them. They are truly beautiful and I think I have annoyed every one in my life by forcing them to look at all 1400 photos as well! lol! I would hands down recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. I know we will be calling Kelsey any time we need photos in the future!
Hiring Kelsey is the BEST decision we made for our wedding day (besides the marriage part). Our engagement session was a breeze with so many amazing pictures to choose from! In the...
months leading up to the big day, she put up with all of my emails/texts, made my timeline for the day (which went flawlessly), and helped pick out a spot to take pictures after the ceremony even though she didn't know the area at all. When it came time for the wedding, we couldn't have felt more comfortable with her. We considered her a friend by then! Kelsey has a way of making the entire bridal party feel natural and have fun at the same time. If you're feeling overwhelmed/stressed, she takes command (in a good way) and makes sure the day goes smoothly and on time. On top of all that, her pictures are STUNNING with a million to look through. We are obsessed with all of our pictures because of her! Kelsey is incredible, simple as that. We will forever be her clients and ALWAYS plan to go back to Kelsey for any photography needs. We are so lucky to have found her, and you will be too if you book her!!
The best decision I made on my wedding day? I mean, I married my husband - but ALSO, we booked Kelsey as our photographer. I couldn't be happier with our photos. First, Kelsey is i...
nsanely talented. She makes you look GOOD. Whatever mood/vibe/style you're going for, she will capture. And you will love every single photo. Kelsey is also the BEST person to have by your side on your big day. Wrangling families for all those photos? She made it look like a breeze. Need a veil adjusted or a boutonniere pinned correctly? She's a jack of all trades. And her comforting presence is the greatest gift of all. Doing the engagement session with her was a blast, and by the time our wedding day rolled around, we were happy to call her a friend. She has this way of making you feel so comfortable that every photo seems natural - even if you feel as awkward with a camera as we did. BOOK HER! She's not only worth every penny - she's worth many more. Your big day only happens once, and there's no better person to capture it all.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Kelsey surpassed any and all expectations we could possibly have had. Where do I even start? From our initial meeting to our engagement photos, our skype meeti...
ngs, and finally our wedding day Kelsey was absolutely phenomenal. Not only is she super talented but an even better person. Her experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to have the best day of your life. Kelsey is extremely prompt with communication and provides a next day sneak peek of photos for both your engagement photos and wedding photos. And when I say "sneak peek" I mean she gave us over 80 pictures from our wedding the next day!! Working with Kelsey was 100% stress-free! If you aren't comfortable in front of the camera no worries, Kelsey will provide you with guidance to help you look/feel your best. Look no further for a photographer, Kelsey is hands down your girl!! If you want to ensure your wedding photos are nothing short of spectacular then book her today. We will use Kelsey for all of our photography needs for the rest of our lives. I can't say enough about how much we love Kelsey! Our photos are absolutely breathtaking and will be something we cherish for life.
From the first email inquiry to the timely delivery of more pictures than we can imagine, Kelsey was flawless! Doing the engagement session with her allowed us to get comfortable a...
nd gave us a sneak peak into her awesome photos! She checked in before the wedding and helped create a timeline, kept the day going by managing our wedding party, brought an awesome second shooter, and even gave the bride (me) a ride to the photo location and ceremony! She gave recommendations for awesome vendors when asked and somehow managed to capture great candid photos of almost every guest at our 200+ person wedding! She kept the mood light and stress free with her easy going personality! We are so happy with our choice in Kelsey as a photographer and would choose her again and again. Book her NOW!
We absolutely LOVED working with Kelsey!! She is so fun and we had a blast taking pictures with her! We were laughing the whole time, both during our engagement session and on the ...
wedding day itself. Kelsey and the second photographer were both so good at making us feel comfortable and relaxed as possible, especially during stressful moments before the ceremony started. She did a great job of always being around during the reception to take pictures of us with friends, and our sunset photos turned out seriously AMAZING. She is very professional and got us previews within just a couple of days. It was fun to get to look through our wedding photos while on our honeymoon, and we are so excited to see the rest of the photos! I could go on all day but let me just say...1000% would recommend to anyone.
Kelsey is the greatest! I don't know where to start. We received recommendations to check her out from two different sets of friends and we couldn't be happier that we did. She jus...
t has a way of bringing out your best qualities naturally, without forcing it. We did our engagement session in the middle of February in sub-arctic temperatures. I requested one outdoor location because we wanted pictures with our dog and she never complained about the cold once, and provided a second location option to warm up in - a cozy greenhouse. She was everything we could have wished for on the day of our wedding: efficient, helpful, fun and not scared to boss people around (in the best way!) which was MUCH needed especially with a bridal party of 20. We fully trusted her vision and recommendations and are so happy with the previews that we've gotten of our big day. Cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you, Kelsey! :)
Kelsey truly is the BEST ever! She has a great eye, and is fantastic at giving direction. Taking sunset photos with my husband was the most fun I had during the day, because Kels...
ey made it a fun relaxing time. She delivered our photos to us in a god turn around time. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Thank you for everything Kelsey!
Kelsey was such an integral part of our wedding day and wedding planning process. From our initial interactions through email, to our engagement session, and then finally our weddi...
ng day, Kelsey was extremely organized, professional, and reliable! She made it extremely easy to be in front of the camera and did an amazing job showing off our love through her photos. She basicallys coordinated our day of timeline and did an excellent job communicating with our other vendors, so that the day went off without a hitch! I have already recommended her to friends who are engaged and I will continue to do so!!! She was the absolute best!!
I will recommend Kelsey Diane Photography to every person I know who needs a photographer in Kansas City! She was absolutely incredible to work with. First, she is SO EASY to commu...
nicate with! I remember when I first started emailing with her, we wrote long emails in great detail to get to know each other and plan my engagement and wedding day photography. Kelsey was so accommodating to my husband and I, especially considering the fact that we live in the St. Louis area and were getting married in KC. Kelsey worked with us to skype video call, email, text, and meet in person as we were able to plan our big day. Second, Kelsey is so knowledgeable about her craft - she is an expert to be trusted. For example, Kelsey sold us a photography package that specifically included an engagement session not only because it's a great deal, but specifically so that she could get to know how we acted in front of a camera. That was such a brilliant idea because not only did we get gorgeous engagement photos, we also got to experience working with Kelsey (and having a lot of fun!) before the big wedding day. It was such a nice 'trial' run for us all. You can tell Kelsey is a master wedding photographer because she planned our day down to the minute in order to ensure that she caught the best moments, but she also remained flexible when the weather didn't cooperate. At our engagement shoot, the weather gave drizzling rain, but Kelsey came prepared with adorable clear bubble umbrellas. And I absolutely love our rainy day engagement photos. On our wedding day, the heat index was well over 100 degrees, but Kelsey made sure we had mini fans, lots of shade, and minimized our time in the heat. Third, Kelsey is simply so much fun to work with. I feel like I gained a new friend in the Kansas City area after working with her. My husband and I, our entire wedding party and family members were so relaxed with Kelsey. She fit right in with our crew. Because we were all so comfortable together, it made for an amazing day with really natural photos. You can see in our pictures that she captured some really hilarious pictures that we will treasure forever. Finally, Kelsey's pictures are absolutely stunning. Look through any of her projects on her website and you'll see that her work speaks for itself. I know I may be biased, but everyone I've talked to about these photographs just gushes about how beautiful they are. Kelsey is amazing. Book her while you can!!
Do not look any further for a wedding photographer! Kelsey is an insanely talented photographer. She is very professional, chill, kind, personable, and amazing. When I met Kelsey f...
or our initial consultation, I felt so calm and every question I had was answered. I never felt any pressure from Kelsey to pick her to be our photographer which was a very comforting feeling. Kelsey includes an engagement session with her packages which is fantastic! Our engagement session allowed us to get to know Kelsey as a person and a photographer. She talked and laughed with us and throughout our session and we were able to establish a relationship with her so when it came time for our wedding day, we didn’t feel like there was a stranger taking pictures of us. Our engagement pictures turned out amazing and the sneak peek we got of our wedding pictures (which came literally TWO days after our wedding) are insane! I know the rest of our wedding photos are going to be just as incredible and will be pictures that we cherish for the rest of our lives.
The next time my husband and I decide to take professional pictures, we will definitely be reaching out to Kelsey again, no question about it! Kelsey is an incredibly talented photographer and is just an incredible person in general! I could go on for days about how incredible Kelsey Diane Photography is, so just do yourself a favor and just send her an email requesting information, you will not regret it!
Kelsey is such a talented photographer and a joy to work with! She is flexible and makes taking pictures enjoyable. I was completely stunned with how my wedding pictures turned out...
because they’re absolutely beautiful! Kelsey is a lot of fun to work with and I highly recommend her as a wedding photographer! Do yourself a favor and have her as your wedding photographer because you definitely won’t be disappointed!
Kelsey was absolutely wonderful to work with. We ended up doing her first level package and adding a second shooter, and we loved that our engagement pictures were included. Kelsey...
was so incredibly patient and professional throughout the entire process. The weather did not cooperate when we were scheduled to do our engagement photos and she was flexible with her scheduling to make sure we would have the perfect shots and get those golden hour photos. She has a gift of putting people at ease and making you comfortable in front of the camera. I just got our wedding day photos back and they are absolutely stunning! We enjoyed working with Kelsey and are incredibly happy with our photos. If you are looking for someone who really focuses on the detail shots, Kelsey is your girl and you would be silly not to hire her!! :)
Kelsey leaves me speechless with her work, she is amazing in every single way! We booked Kelsey for our wedding in 2020 and we just had our engagement shoot with her yesterday. As ...
I knew she would, she exceeded every one of my expectations! I got a preview that same night and the photos are incredible!!! Not only is Kelsey amazing at what she does, but she is also so fun to work with. She makes you feel comfortable while still being professional and it was overall a very fun time! Personally, finding a wedding photographer was my top priority when it came to wedding planning. Just based on our short time working with Kelsey, I know that our wedding photos are going to be beautiful. I have 110% confidence in Kelsey that she is going to deliver wedding photos that we are going to cherish forever, just as she did with our engagement photos! No need to look any further for a wedding photographer, BOOK KELSEY NOW!
Edit: Kesley is hands down the best decision we made vendor wise. Our wedding day has come and gone, but not even 48 hours after we got married, Kelsey had a preview of over 100 wedding photos ready for us to view. My jaw dropped with I opened the online gallery. Kelsey was able to handle our rowdy groomsmen in a professional manner and still capture the photos we could only dream of. I am so grateful for finding Kelsey! We are going to cherish her photos for the rest of our lives. Not only is she amazing at photography but she was also my #1 hype girl on the day of the wedding! Dang she knows how to make a woman feel beautiful!! Kelsey, you are truly talented and we can't say thank you enough.
