Serving Vancouver Island + beyond!

Anyone with kids knows how hard it is to get everyone ready and looking good for a photo shoot. Not to mention trying to get them all to cooperate at the same time. It can be extremely disappointing to put a lot of money and effort into photos and not have them turn out. My family was definitely not making it easy for Kelsey. After she had finished and left, I was worried to say the least. But the moment I received the proofs I was blown away. One after another, after another, they were ALL AMAZING (her turn around time was extremely quick). I honestly don’t know how she did it. Her photos have a beautiful yet raw quality to them that we get so many compliments on. Kelsey was professional from start to finish. She was patient when I couldn’t be. She recognized when we needed to change things up and managed to get the kids attention when they are all looking in different directions. I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re on the fence, stop wondering. She’s excellent

Kelsey was the photographer for my brother's wedding, and did a wonderful job. Kelsey showed up an hour early to the venue before the guests, as well as the bride and groom. This was so she scope the grounds beforehand in order to find the best shots for pictures when the time came. She was great with organizing the bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents and family no matter how scattered across the venue they were for beautiful shots (hard to do with 45+ people). The actual pictures themselves are wonderful and our family could not be more happy with what she could deliver to my brother and sister in law's special day! I wouldn't expect anything less, with 10 years of experience Kelsey is the lady to go to

I had such an amazing time getting my engagement photos done. Kelsey is such a sweethearted and talented person. She made the experience so easy going and fun! She captured such beautiful photos that are so intimate and wholesome. I love every single one of them, I'm excited for her to capture more amazing memories at my wedding in the future!

Kelsey is an absolute gem - she did our wedding photos this summer and we are beyond happy with them all! She is seriously talented and has such an eye for detail, not to mention her edits are completely gorgeous! She was so dedicated to working on our shots that she was able to get them to us literally the next day! The photos were high quality and beautiful, exactly the vision we had hoped for. We also wanted to mention she showed up to the venue early to take some extra ‘getting ready’ shots and before the ceremony had started! She also went out of her way to go down to this special spot near the venue as well to get some gorgeous beach photos. We cannot say enough how highly we recommend Kelsey - she is so passionate about her work, very lovely and personable to work with and made us feel super comfortable the whole way through. Thank you again, we will cherish these photos forever!

Words cannot express how happy we are with Kelsey's beautiful work for our June 2022 wedding. I was blown away by her professionalism, dedication, and organization. Kelsey arrived camera ready and immediately got to work. She was able to capture so many sweet moments that I had not even considered when I sent her my initial photo list (which she also systematically completed!) Her eye for detail allowed us to achieve exceptional results. Additionally, Kelsey was an invaluable member of my vendor team. I was surprised by the number of "hats" she was able to take on in the day! She kept us on time, liaised with our Commissioner and MC, reminded us to drink and take breaks, and assisted the Videographer to ensure both vendors were able to get the best possible shots! Our photos were delivered very quickly and I only had 2 minor edits (personal preference, not errors!) of which she happily and quickly adjusted. Her bright and colourful work complemented our overall theme and I could not be happier! In all, I would not hesitate to hire Kelsey for future events and will continue to suggest her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Choosing Kelsey as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Despite the tight timeline of less than 6 months, she flawlessly captured every moment of our destination wedding with professionalism, warmth, and a genuine eagerness to make our day perfect. From the initial planning stages to the final delivery of our photos, she was a constant source of support and guidance, making us feel like we were in capable hands every step of the way. Despite juggling the responsibilities of a toddler at home, she remained attentive to our needs and exceeded our expectations with her talent and dedication. Kelsey didn't just feel like a hired professional; she felt like a trusted friend who genuinely cared about making our wedding memories last a lifetime. We are forever grateful for her incredible work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond in every aspect.

I booked a Mommy and Me photo session for Mother’s Day and I couldn’t be happier. Kelsey is so friendly and personable and made it easy. It was rainy on the day we had scheduled the shoot, and she contacted me and asked if I wanted to wait till better weather or move ahead with the session. We re scheduled in hopes of sun shine (and we got it! ) not a lot of photographers would be willing to be that accommodating and I greatly appreciated that. I am so unbelievably happy with the photos and I will cherish them forever! Thank you so much for this experience on my first Mother’s Day Kelsey, you helped make it a special one

Kelsey was recommended to me by multiple women on a Facebook mums group. I was looking for a photographer for a Maternity shoot with my fiancé. Kelsey was friendly positive upbeat and left my fiancé open to the experience of being photographed holding my belly or looking romantically into my eyes. Once our son was born Kelsey did the one month photography shoot we were all very tired but the photos turned out great and we have something to cherish for our sons life. We have also chosen to have her as our wedding photographer because she really was that fun! She always stays on the budget that we’re looking for and the photos turn out fantastic! what more could you ask for?

Kelsey was very good with my two very busy young children during our photo shoot. She made a plan to get the best photos and implemented it at a great pace that didn’t drag on and lead to cranky kids! We genuinely had so much fun and were so pleased with the quality of the photos. They were so natural and relaxed! We got tonnes of compliments on our photos and couldn’t have asked for better! We will definitely be going back to Kelsey in the future!

Kelsey Lageri was an absolutely amazing photographer, I couldn’t say enough good things about her! She’s incredibly easy to talk to, and a great communicator! We had never done a photo shoot before, and she was very helpful at guiding us with poses and helping us feel relaxed in front of the camera. I found her through her many positive reviews and recommendations on Facebook, and her work speaks for itself! Her editing style is gorgeous and she is so quick getting the photos done!
Also, I have to mention how much admiration and gratitude I have for her as she was five months pregnant when she shot our wedding in the middle of July! I would definitely recommend her for any photo shoots you have in mind, she’s an absolutely incredible photographer!!! 10/10!

Kelsey is an absolutely brilliant and professional photographer! She photographed our wedding and produced absolutely stunning photos, while seamlessly disappearing into the crowd! The turn around on the images was incredibly quick, and worth waiting much longer for! She amazingly personable, super reasonably priced and who I will turn to for all my photography needs in the future! She truly helped us capture how special the day was!

10/10 would recommend Kelsey for your photography needs!!

I was a little nervous before the shoot as I've never done anything like it before and I thought it may be an awkward experience but from the minute she said hello both Tyson and I felt comfortable and warm and not at all awkward. She made the experience very easy-going and fun.

She is also such a sweet heart and was very flexible and accommodating of our busy schedules and the ever-changing weather conditions.

To top it all off, I was nothing but happy with the photo results. She is clearly very talented behind the camera!!

My family, and our 2 beloved dogs had an amazing photoshoot with Kelsey! She is incredibly friendly and incredibly gifted! She made us all feel so comfortable, and I couldn’t have asked for better results. Our last minute, end of life photography session we had for our dog, Macaroni, couldn’t have went any better. The photos Kelsey captured are absolutely beautiful. No words can describe how thankful I am for her. Not only did she immediately agree to do a session within the week, but she also was so understanding and loving towards the situation our family was in. On top of all of this, she had our photos back to us within A DAY! I highly recommend Kelsey - and 110% will be going back to her for any and all photography needs in the future!
