Caitlin Armstrong Married couple on 22 Mar 2025

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience with Kelly! We booked her for our destination wedding and everything was smooth sailing. She was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire process low stress. You can tell she is experienced with destination weddings and was able to work well with the resort staff, including their videographer, and work around their schedules as needed. All of our guests kept commenting on how wonderful she was at capturing shots and just as a person!
The photos are absolutely perfect! She captured every moment beautifully, and we received our pictures back so quickly, which was such a pleasant surprise. Communication was always easy, and she was so responsive to any questions or requests we had leading up to and after the wedding. We truly feel so lucky to have had her as part of our big day. Very highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!

Aurora Meerman Married couple on 01 Oct 2024

Kelly did our engagement photos and photographed our wedding in August. We have nothing but good things to say about Kelly and her work! She was so nice to work with, and made our day so much fun and stress free. Kelly helped with our timeline, and provided vendor recommendations when asked. She was fast with replies, always made sure our questions were answered, and was always on time! Cannot recommend her enough, you will love her!

Haley Hulst Married couple on 24 Aug 2024

Kelly Jo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kelly was incredibly easy to communicate with - she responded to all of our questions and requests promptly and was always on top of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Kelly's high-quality, beautiful photos were only surpassed by her wonderful presence. She was so helpful in knowing when I needed a break or reminding me to stay hydrated, and kept the family photo session light-hearted and fun. Kelly went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working photographer who will capture stunning memories.

Erin Hoekema Married couple on 27 Jul 2024

All Things Considered Married couple on 22 May 2024

We had the privilege of having Kelly shoot my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Her work is phenomenal -- her pictures speak for themselves! Having Taylor, the second shooter, was the icing on the cake. The groom is very camera shy and Kelly and Taylor both did a phenomenal job making him feel comfortable and capturing his personality. We are blown away by the pictures we've seen so far and loved sharing the day with Kelly & Taylor. Kelly has our highest recommendation!
