I have been following Kelly's work on IG for awhile now and hired her to do some pictures for…read moresocial media...she did not disappoint! We had to reschedule a few times due to COVID, but finally got to do the shoot. Well, I got the time wrong and we were left with a little less than an hour to shoot with daylight! Kelly made it work, wasn't flustered and got some amazing shots! She knew where to go to get the best backdrops, light and had great ideas for variety. She also knows the best angles and ways to pose which is helpful for us non-model folk. I am in love with the photos! By far my favorite set yet. If you are looking for any type of photography headshots, social media, wedding, engagements, maternity...just cause, she is great!

We met Kelly during a styled bridal shoot she was doing with a friend of ours in March of 2015…read more During the photoshoot my then boyfriend proposed making me his fiancé and future wife! Kelly caught it all beautifully on film. We have fallen in love with her photos as well as her personality. She is so friendly and super easy to work with. She did our engagement photos and most recently our wedding. She consistently produces amazing work. We can't wait until the next events she will be there to capture (babies!) :)

I would not recommend Kat. I was part of a wedding where she was hired to take photos, and…read moreunfortunately, despite the payment being made in full, she never delivered the photos. Multiple attempts to reach out have gone unanswered. This experience has been very disappointing and unprofessional.

My husband and I used Kat for our wedding this past year and were left feeling extremely…read moredisappointed with the level of service we received during such a special time. Our engagement was about a year and a half, and during the first couple of months, Kat was responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. However, after those first couple of months, it became increasingly difficult to get a hold of her. At one point we thought we had been scammed because we stopped receiving responses for 2-3 months. Eventually, we reached out via Instagram messenger since these messages show a read receipt when viewed. She responded and was apologetic and mentioned she had been going through a tough time personally. Understandable of course. However, in the midst of planning your wedding, the thought of your photographer being MIA and unreachable is insufferable and unprofessional. On the wedding day, Kat arrived with an assistant- both were very nice and did a good job overall of capturing all the photos we wanted! She was friendly and made us feel comfortable, especially given that this was our first time meeting her face-to-face. Post-wedding, we were promised a blog post and a sneak peek of our photos. There was never a blog post. The 'sneak peek' was a 10-second Instagram Reel, not a handful of photos emailed to us as we had hoped. Our wedding was in the middle of June, and we had to practically beg her to give us updates on when we could expect the photos. On August 8th Kat told us "My goal is to have the photos delivered to you in the next 10 days". 10 days later, she responded, "Blog post tomorrow". At the time of writing this review, it is mid-December, and we have yet to receive a blog post, which at this point is irrelevant. The following months weren't much better, we reached out to Kat countless times for updates. When we were lucky enough to receive a response, the responses consisted of excuses, delays, and major health scares (car accidents, fractured ribs, refractured ribs). Again, if the health scares or emergencies happened, that is out of anyone's control and incredibly unfortunate - so we were very sympathetic to all of her stated explanations. She ended up responding that due to the delays, she is having another 'trusted' photographer assist in the editing of our photos... We hired Kat due to her photographic style, and when she made this decision without consulting us, we were surprised. We didn't receive all of our images until the end of October. Over 17 weeks after our wedding, nearly 5 months. This amount of time was unprofessional, insufferable, and incredibly worrisome, thinking something happened to our photos. Once reviewing the final photos, we were very pleased with the quality and number of photos received. The photos were beautiful. However, I wish I could recommend Kat, but I need to express caution and warn future couples about the level of service we received.

If you are reading this review because you're considering photographers for your wedding (or any…read moreother event) you should probably go ahead and book them now. We were lucky enough to learn about Amanda Collins Photography through Viaggio Winery's preferred vendor list, and I couldn't be happier to have Amanda as our wedding photographer. Not only did the pictures end up absolutely gorgeous (and delivered in a reasonable timeframe with near-immediate social media previews) but having Amanda and her husband there genuinely made my wedding experience more enjoyable and seamless. They also did an excellent job in getting both black and white and color shots, as well as a good combination of posed and candid photos. I honestly couldn't be happier with the pictures. It might be worth noting that we had a Persian wedding ceremony, which meant a bit more of an elaborate setup including something called the Soreh Aghd. Amanda and Chandler did an incredible job capturing the details of the Sofreh Aghd. It was very reassuring to know that she took care to capture the cultural elements of our wedding with such attention to detail and precision. Additionally, Amanda went absolutely above and beyond the duties of a photographer- from taking care of my immensely complicated bustle, to acting as a security guard for some overly interested passerby near the ceremony site (lol). Thanks again Amanda and Chandler!

We had her for both our engagement and wedding photos and I couldn't imagine having anyone else. She took the time to brainstorm and get to know us as a couple and to always make sure we felt comfortable and happy with the results. Not to mention a lovely giftbox of goodies after we booked her! Her attention to detail and ability to capture the small moments is beyond compare. You could feel the emotion, joy, and love of the day through the images she captured. As a person who struggles with anxiety and self esteem, she went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and was able to capture images that made me feel like a princess. On-top of all that, her personality is amazing, she's down to earth and seamlessly blends into the reception like she was a guest, all while capturing the joy and fun of the party. Her associate Alicia was also amazing and would be working seamlessly with Karissa to get a variety of shots. She went above and beyond, even creating a small photo album for my husband and I before the reception was even over! Along with a beautifully written card and polaroid images that I was able to create a lovely shadowbox with. These little touches made a world of difference for a stressful day, and made her feel more like a close friend instead of a hired vendor. I implore you, if you're in need of a photographer, book Karissa, she is well worth your time and money and you will get truly memorable pieces.
