Kelly Vanderbeek BEST wedding photographer

Kelly was amazing, from first introductions to wedding day to editing photos, she was organized and fun. The day of the wedding she had a great understanding of the best spots for the WOW photos of mountains in the background. She was so helpful in directing our wild group of friends and family to capture the whole groups excitement. Additionally, she was part of the entire day (a marathon of photos basically). So she had captured a ton of photos of us getting ready and the party. Everyone loved her energy and really enjoyed having her there. Her editing turn around was impressively efficient and we were sitting down to re-live the day through photos in no time. Editing was high quality and a great style to emphasize what we wanted. Kelly was awesome to work with, got us the right photos with stunning views. Thanks for the great work and we are so happy we had you there as part of the adventure!
