Amazing Photographer!
Kelly McDaniel was a joy to work with! Choosing a photographer for a life event as important as your wedding is a scary thing. I searched through many profiles before deciding to go with Kelly and I am so thankful that I did! Right from the start she was quick to respond and continued an open and stress-free line of communication. I never felt like she was too busy to answer any of my many questions. She met me and my now Husband in person before the wedding so we could get to know each other before hand. She offered so much great advice but also really worked with me on the ideas I had in my mind for the big day. Not only was she a delight to work with but she sent us a highlight reel of photos from the wedding just days after! The photos are breathtaking and everything we hoped for. I will definitely be using Kelly again for any important life events that I want to capture!
Excellent Choice for Photographer
Kelly was wonderful! She was a recommendation from a really good friend of mine, who had just gotten married and when i saw their album I couldn't pass her up. Her personality is bubbly, she is reliant, and on time! She joined our day of festivities without any hesitation and made sure to capture all of our most important moments! She traveled to us, and it was worth every single penny. I would recommend her over and over again! Without a doubt, she is your girl if you are looking for any kind of album with the most beautiful lasting memories!
I'd choose Kelly every time.
We have always LOVED working with Kelly. She is a wonderful person and photographer, and I can't recommend her enough. Kelly has taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity, newborn, and family photos as our son got older. It has been such a blessing for our family to have her be able to document our lives so beautifully. She takes time and we've never felt rushed, and her ability to capture emotions is unparalleled. We love her work, her incredible eye for color and light, and have never once been less than absolutely thrilled with our experiences with her during the photography sessions and especially with the photos after. Her photography is just incredible, and she has a special way of making us feel comfortable whenever we work with her. If I went back and had to do it all again, I'd call Kelly every time. Kelly was instrumental in my wedding planning process, an ear to listen and to bounce ideas off of. The day of, I don’t feel like she ever missed a moment. She captured everything I could have thought of and more. I will treasure these moments she captured for the rest of my life.
Beautiful photos and wonderful to work with
We loved working with Kelly for our wedding in Redondo Beach. Kelly is dedicated to getting the shot - climbing up balconies to get the right angles and helping us pose correctly. We didn't know where to take photos and she suggested the best locations, they look incredible. She even helped to clean up a stain on my dress when something was spilled during our getting ready photos! Kelly is great to work with. She's quick to reply and her systems are modern and easy to use. It was simple to pay. Her website for photos is great and it was easy to review our photos and share them with family and friends. We also got a huge preview of photos just a few weeks after our Nov wedding, in time to order a holiday card on a Black Friday Sale and order some family gifts! Kelly is friendly, personable, and responsive. Her photos our beautiful. We'd recommend her to everyone and would pick her again and again if we got to do it all over.
