Hi, I'm Kelsey! I'm blessed with a loving husband, 3 kitties whom I adore and a plethora of interests. I love hiking with my husband, martial arts, playing music and singing, I'm crazy about animals, I'm absolutely fascinated by linguistics and other cultures. Also, & to my hubby, I'm rather nerdy (you'll see me rolling around in my limited edition Iron Man Hyundai, haha), so if you're into Star Wars, superheroes, etc., I'm sure we will get along just fine ;). What did I say about a plethora of interests? I've been doing photography passionately for at least 14 years. Any talent I have is God given and I do this all to bring fame to His name!

Our photos speak for themselves. It rained our entire wedding day but you’d never be able to tell. Kelsey is amazing. Even though we were able to get a lot of outside photos, the ones taken inside were just as beautiful. She captures every moment. Not only does she take amazing pictures, she also is outstanding to work with. She is very responsive and easy to talk to. She also makes you feel so comfortable and confident when taking pictures. Kelsey, you’re the best and we are so thankful for you this entire wedding process. From engagement to wedding photos, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!! Book Kelsey!!

Snowdrop Creative Co. 

4.6

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves State College, PA

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

We booked Alexandra with Snowdrop Creative Co for a family photo session. Our toddler is a very active and spicy toddler, and Alexandra's patience with him paid off! She gave great suggestions for poses or things to try with him (swing him up in the air to get him to giggle, swing him while we walk, let him "race" and run towards her) and despite my anxiety about being able to get any usable photos (we've failed with other photographers in the past), we got several! She was totally willing to roll with it and let him do some exploring while she worked on candid shots of the family and it turns out those were our favorites. We got some fantastic posed family shots, but her patience and flexibility with letting our toddler drive the session got us some incredible relaxed family photos that don't look awkward or rehearsed. I'm so grateful for her experience and expertise! She was wonderful to work with, and had top notch communication throughout the entire process.

Eternally Wild Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves State College, PA

My name is Maddie and I'm the photographer behind Eternally Wild. With a camera in hand, I capture stories that would have otherwise become lost - the ones memories can only hold for so long before they fade away. I capture nature and lovers and soulmates in their most fleetingly beautiful moments. I believe photography is magical. Photographs remember the past in vivid color and tell the best love stories without words. They are reminders that we were, are, and will always be eternally wild.

Working with Maddie was an absolute pleasure. Her keen eye for detail and creative perspective added a unique dimension to my wedding clients. Together, we crafted visually stunning moments that exceeded expectations. She is so personable and sweet natured. I am most looking forward to working with her in the future! Highly recommended!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

Hey there! I'm a PA/NJ based photographer with over 200 incredible weddings under my belt. I've always loved documenting stories (I was an actor and an English teacher before venturing into photography), and the challenge of ensuring your personal story gets told in an emotive and authentic way is exhilarating to me. My team and I take pride in our desire to show up on your day as your personal confidence curators, and believe that in order to get the best imagery, you need to feel relaxed, empowered, and in the moment. Everything we do within our structure is to get you to that space so you can walk away with photos you'll treasure forever.

Christie and her team truly captured our perfect day. The team was amazing for creative content, as well as capturing our vision. They did amazing with our two pups and even got in the freezing cold ocean with us at the end of the night. Me and my now husband, felt extremely comfortable and relaxed through the entire process. I would recommend Christie and her team to anyone getting married and looking for photos in the NJ/PA/MD area. Everyone says how extraordinary our pictures turned out. We were also one of the first couples to have Jade record and create our video. Although we haven’t received the final product yet, Jade’s shots caught an authentic view of our relationship and day. We have no doubts of the amazing video we will cherish forever!

My husband and I worked with Paul for both our engagement session and wedding. Knowing nothing about CIP, we decided to work with them due to the affordability of their wedding packages and ample portfolio photos. It was important to us that we found someone who could capture both the sappiness and the goofiness of our relationship, and Paul nailed it. Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.

Our day with Dani was like a dream come true. When my fiancé proposed in the breathtaking Lake Garda, I was completely swept off my feet. Dani’s talent shone through in every shot—each photo was a stunning capture of our joy and the beauty of the day. I found myself in tears looking through them, so perfectly did they convey our emotions. Dani had this incredible knack for giving just the right amount of direction while letting everything feel so natural and candid. It was amazing how she made us feel at ease, despite the excitement, and her presence made the whole experience flow effortlessly. Dani's warmth and skill turned what could have been a whirlwind day into a series of perfectly captured moments. I can’t recommend her enough to couples who want not just gorgeous photos but a truly heartfelt and memorable experience.

Where do I start. I was really hesitant to go with a photographer I didn't know, as I was set on someone else for years, but they didn't have my date. But let me say, I am so happy I found Andrea as she exceeded my expectations. The first meeting with Andrea, I had such a peace about having her photograph our special day. She made the entire process so seamless and she was extremely professional and communicative. Our engagement session she made me and my husband feel so comfortable - my husband was nervous as we have never been photographed and he literally said "wow, she made that so easy, I'm so glad we went with her" and I 100% agreed, we knew we made the right decision. The day of our wedding Andrea was running all over to get all the perfect pictures and my sister in law (also a photographer) noted how amazing of a photographer she was just how she went about our wedding day. Pictures are something that you will have for a lifetime - go with Andrea!!!!

Speed date: I love to go thrifting. Schitt’s Creek and HIMYM are two TV shows always on repeat. I really hate cooking. I love brunch and drink way too much coffee. I’m a mom and I’m obsessed with my kid. Words of affirmation & physical touch are my love languages. I have the WORST sense of direction. I try to always do my part to protect our environment. Aries is my zodiac sign. I’m Irish + Greek. I drink coffee like it keeps me alive. Taking a walk is the best way to spend a warm day. Like a true millennial, I have way too many houseplants. Greece, Ireland and Italy are at the top of my travel bucket-list.

When I say I searched high and low for a photographer with vintage style editing like Tara, I mean it. I spent months and months looking. She was always on my radar but was unfortunately booked for our date. After lots of contemplation and talking it over with Tara, we decided to go the route of having a “sub” photographer shoot the day and then Tara would do the editing herself. WOW did that work out for the best. The photographers that came for day of were two INCREDIBLE ladies, one I was highly considering when I found out Tara was booked, the other is now my business brand photographer. I brag all the time about how I was lucky enough to get the “dream team package”. It was like 3 for the price of one. As much as I would have loved to have Tara there on that day, I’m truly thankful for how she made it work in the best way possible. 10/10 recommend Tara!

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! We think that is truly the only appropriate way to start a review about Kylee’s photography and business. To say what we thought having a photographer would be like for our wedding day versus what we got could not be more different. It feels like we gained a new best friend, with more talent than can even be described. From start to finish Kylee was amazing. Seeing someone so vocal with her support of the LGBTQ community was just a small part of making her part of our special day. Her work definitely speaks for itself, but the day of was total magic. It felt like we had a best friend with us all day, and you could feel the love all night. She worked INCREDIBLY well with our videographer, DJ, and day-of coordinator and honestly- she could probably be a day of coordinator as well with how seamlessly she helped the day run! So many of our guests have complimented her, as she did not make a single moment feel ‘staged’. She was able to capture the most important elements of our special day, without feeling like we were being ‘pulled out of the moment’ for a photograph. We do not know how she does it, but we know we made the right decision with Kylee. If you are considering Kylee B Photography for anything, DO NOT hesitate. She is unbelievable. THANK YOU again for everything. Danny and Hans

She even helped my bridesmaids secure my veil right before walking down the aisle. She went above and beyond to make this day memorable.

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves State College, PA

I'm a documentarian and a storyteller at heart. I capture the most real and authentic moments I can, big or small, loud or quiet. I especially love catching moments that the couple might never get to witness except in their wedding photos. I'm based in Philly, but I'm always up for an adventure, especially one that takes me away from home.

Tracie is always my first choice for a photography colleague. She's magical--she knows where she needs to be, what to pay attention to, how I like to tell a story, and how to be an all around amazing, caring, personable human being. Her extensive background in news photojournalism gives her the ability to blend in with any crowd and has honed her visual storytelling skills. Above all, she is ethical and compassionate when approaching her subjects, and understands how to make anyone feel comfortable and cared for. Her images are always of the highest quality as well as artistic, and I know she will be able to roll with the punches with things go haywire--as they often do with live events. I would hire her in a heartbeat, and have relied on her for local and travel weddings for over a decade.

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment.

Wedding and family photography that is romantic, candid, and moody. Sessions for carefree people that hate forced smiles and want to feel more like they are on a fun date instead of at a photoshoot. I am passionate about documentary-style photography and capturing special moments for families and couples. My biggest goal is to capture photos that feel natural and true to the people I serve all while giving them a fun experience.

I could not have asked for a better photographer for my wedding than Vanessa! She was a pleasure to work with before, during, and after the big day. When my husband and I were first assessing photographers for our wedding, Vanessa's work jumped out at us as stunning and unique, but with a classic, timeless look that suited our personalties well. (Also, she's incredibly affordable for the high quality of service you receive.) When we reached out, Vanessa was warm and communicative, and she immediately scheduled a Zoom call for us to go over what was important and unique to our wedding that we wanted to focus on. Vanessa struck the perfect balance between inquisitive, yet never overbearing. She was also incredibly flexible - we were traveling from outside the area and could not do an engagement shoot, so Vanessa offered to photograph our rehearsal dinner instead! It was a great decision that resulted in lovely casual photos with our closest family and friends. On the day of our wedding, Vanessa and her awesome second photographer, Tara, were calm and professional, but quick to put my nervous self at ease. The two of them were incredibly astute, picking up on little details about the day that we might not have thought to focus on. For example, Vanessa gushed about a tree in bloom that was right down the street from our venue, and taking pictures in front of it resulted in some of the best shots from the day. Tara also noted that my husband was playing guitar to calm his nerves before the ceremony, and Vanessa suggested taking some "blue hour" portraits with him serenading me. This was by far one of the high points of the day and I LOVE that they highlighted what was important to us. Vanessa's attention to detail is one of those qualities that sets her apart. Additionally, Vanessa handles situational stress with ease. During posed shots before the ceremony, we had an awkward situation with a guest, and Vanessa saw my scrunched-up face and was instantly at my side offering me multiple options for how she could deal with the situation. She single-handedly took the situation off my plate, and I knew in that moment I was in good hands. When we got our pictures back - WOW. They are truly stunning and exactly what we were looking for in wedding pictures. Vanessa's subtle, warm, yet slightly moody editing made for some amazing shots of our day. Our pictures stand apart from all other wedding shots we've seen, in the best way possible. My only problem now is narrowing down the ones I want to print! We were and continue to be absolutely thrilled with Vanessa's professionalism, expertise, and warmth. Do yourself a favor and hire her for your special event.

Natalie and the team at The Finding Co. were an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Natalie was super responsive and punctual throughout our whole 1.5 years together planning the big day. On the wedding day itself, Natalie was more than just a photographer - she felt like a part of the bridal party, providing not only beautiful and creative photos but also a source of joy and comfort. Natalie made sure we got all of the shots we wanted, and also offered her own creative ideas to capture our special moments. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but her and her assistant were so comforting while we were stressing about the weather. She worked with the rain and made it look absolutely beautiful in the final product. We were always comfortable during the shoot and thrilled with the quality of Natalie's work, and the value she provided was unparalleled. We couldn't recommend The Finding Co more to any couples looking for an exceptional and creative wedding photography experience.
