Kelly Kollar Photography

Kelly was everything we could have asked for in a photographer for our wedding! In addition to her incredible talent, Kelly was amazing in making us feel comfortable and blending into our wedding. Kelly is quite simply the best. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kelly photographed my wedding in Vermont and did a fantastic job. She’s extremely talented, kind, and considerate. She really puts her clients first and has a great eye for wedding photojournalism. I can’t recommend her enough.

I can’t say enough good things about Kelly and the absolutely gorgeous pictures that she took of our wedding.
We got to know her beforehand because she did our engagement shoot. We had a wonderful time and she made us feel so at ease. The pictures are stunning.
Kelly drove up to the Catskills from NYC for our September wedding and she and her assistant spent the day with us. She was unobtrusive, but at the same time, she added to the exciting energy of the day. I felt comfortable letting her do her thing, knowing that she would get all the coverage we could possibly want. We had quite a long list of family portraits and she got through them in no time.
Getting the pictures back let us relive the day again. Her photos captured moments I remember and moments that I missed the first time around and now get to experience. They look like OUR wedding, not like a photo shoot of a wedding or anything staged. And, multiple people have told me that the photos look like we paid a LOT more for them than we actually did.
We got a beautiful brag book and a CD of everything, plus a blog post and all of the images available online for printing. Kelly is on top of it in every way and her presentation of everything is beautiful. We would hire her again in a second!

Kelly was sweet and accommodating. She is hard working and made sure our wedding photos came out exactly how we wanted — romantic, elegant and fun! Thanks Kelly for making our memories last a lifetime.

When you’re planning your wedding, everyone tells you to pick your top two or three priorities, go crazy with those and then make compromises with the rest. Our number one priority for the wedding was to have fantastic photos, and fantastic photos we got. After searching the internet high and low, we found Kelly Kollar and knew that she was, by far, the best photographer of the lot. It’s clear from looking at her portfolio on her website that she takes stunning photos, but what’s harder to tell is that she takes a lot of pride in her work and goes the extra mile to give her clients exactly what they asked for. Because I have a really huge, complicated family tree, I gave Kelly and her assistant, Tanya, a list of every photo configuration we wanted – not only did they manage to get through the entire list quickly (with rain about to fall at any second), but they managed to get really beautiful photos out of it as well. Kelly and Tanya were great and we’re so very happy with our wedding photos!

A really big shout out to Kelly. I can’t actually think of all the words I need to be able to describe how incredibly talented Kelly is, and how absolutely delightful she is to work with. It took me a really long time to find a wedding photographer. Having a background in photography, and wanting something very specific, and I never thought I would be able to find what I was looking for. Through some random Pinterest clicking, I ended up seeing Kelly’s name in a credit line.
Thank goodness for that! Kelly, like I said, is talented. She is one of a kind. Sharply funny and so easy to work with. She made the first experience we had with her (engagement photos) easy and comfortable. She took her time, she let us be uncomfortable and warm up at our own pace.
On the wedding day she was in tuned to everything that was going on, professional and totally killed it. She braved the rain and snow and ice to get shots with us in 30 degree weather, she sensed when we had enough of family portraits and moved us along. All in all I can’t say enough about Kelly
Her technical skills are impeccable and her use of light, breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Kelly is an excellent photographer!
Kelly was our photographer for our summer wedding. She was extremely easy to work with and very attentive to our needs.
The entire process was super easy and we could not be happier with our pictures. She was able to get our pictures to us digitally within a matter of weeks.
We get so many compliments on our pictures and our friends have also used her based on what they saw.
Kelly is very professional and very knowledgable. She can work in all environments, whether it is using indoor lighting or working with the sun outside.

Kelly shot our engagement photos last winter and our wedding photos last April and I could not be happier with the results. She was easy to work with and I appreciated her laid back casual style of doing business together.
The engagement session was very reasonably priced and it gave me and my fiancé, two camera shy people, a chance to practice in front of the camera before the big day. Kelly shot the engagement photos in Central Park and she knew the perfect light and settings to make us look our best.
We asked Kelly to bring an assistant on the day of our wedding and it was the right decision for us. We got married in a beautiful large church on the Upper East Side and with the help of the assistant, Kelly got so many amazing photos. I would definitely recommend hiring a second photographer on your wedding day if your ceremony and/​or reception space is large. Kelly photos really captured the personalities of her subjects.
Although we asked for some posed family photos, the best pictures are the intricate candids that captured private moment. We now have a beautiful album of romantic photographs plus all of her digital shots.

Kelly performed an engagement photo shoot for myself and my fiancé in June of 2011 on our old stomping grounds by NYU. Even though Shaun and I were quite nervous, she made us feel comfortable and helped us have a great time. Kelly is very natural and it’s clear that she approaches her shoots with a vision that seeks both to capture the personality of the couple and create beautiful imagery, but at the same time she is respectful of the couples’ desires and needs. She is creative and loves her job, that much is apparent. A couple couldn’t ask for a better photographer.
Neither my fiancé nor myself feel that we’re very photogenic, but Kelly made us feel like naturals, and we can’t get enough of the photographs. Both we and our families adore each and every one.
I wouldn’t have changed a thing about my experience with Kelly, and I hope she’ll be able to photograph something for me again in the future!
