"My husband and I could not be more pleased with our decision to have Kelly Mihalcoe photograph our wedding. Kelly's sense of humor and easy going manner made working with her a joy. In the run up to the wedding, Kelly was always quick to answer all of our questions and to provide reassurance. She did an amazing job of taking all of the photographs that we wanted and seeing all of the others that we didn't realize we wanted. During both the ceremony and the reception, Kelly was completely unobtrusive while essentially being everywhere and seeing everything. The resulting photographs were astounding in both quality and quantity. Kelly was able to beautifully capture the genuine smiles and happiness of two people who seldom photograph well.
"She provided us with so many beautiful images that deciding which to display has been a truly difficult task! Upon receiving our photographs (over 600, which were hand delivered!), my husband exclaimed that there were more good pictures of him in those four albums than have been taken over the course of his 28 years, which is truly a testament to Kelly's skill. I have already recommended Kelly to a soon to be bride, and will wholeheartedly recommend her to others in the future. "

"Our daughter's wedding was held in Corolla on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina. Kelly arrived from Williamsburg on time and ready to "shoot."
As most of us know, weddings can be just a little tense. Not for Kelly!
Her high level of artistic professionalism was matched by a warm
personality and calm, yet fun approach to making everyone relaxed and
comfortable. During the ceremony and when taking candids her presence was
so unobtrusive, we hardly knew she was among us. All of these superb
qualities resulted in photographs that were so beautiful we thought they
should be in a national magazine!" | |

"In order to take advantage of the cost savings of booking room nights over
World Wide Web, we updated the Cedars Bed & Breakfast website. The new design required a series of interior and exterior photos of the home, its
rooms and public areas. We wanted to capture on film the warmth and
hominess of the Cedars...its quiet elegance and proud colonial heritage.
"With this intent in mind, we began meeting with a number of highly
recommended local photographers. After interviewing and reviewing their
portfolio, it quickly became quite evident that Kelly's work was not only
of
superior quality but seemed to capture the essence and beauty of her
subject matter. We believed we had found the best person for the job and
she did not disappoint us.
"Since the launching of the new website, we have seen three fold increase
in
traffic volume and a 15% increase in our room bookings. Every weekend the
house is full of guests and a number of them have told us that the
decision
to stay at The Cedars was based on the photographs that they reviewed on
our
website. Our success this year is a direct result of Kelly's vision and
photographic artistry.
"I recommend Kelly Mihalcoe without reservation. If you have any further
questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not
hesitate to call me." | |

"From the moment my husband and I met Kelly Mihalcoe, we were comforted and
reassured by her professionalism and gracious manner. We were very
impressed with her extensive portfolio, and after our initial meeting, we
knew that Kelly would photograph our wedding.
"As with most weddings, there was some stress involved! At every juncture
Kelly provided me with confidence that all would go well, and gave me total
peace of mind about the process. We felt as though we were working with a
friend and had complete confidence in Kelly. On our wedding day, Kelly
exceeded our expectations!
"Throughout the process, Kelly reassured us with her kindness and sense of
humor. She went out of her way to accommodate every need and request. We
are very thankful to Kelly for the effort and thoughtfulness she put into
photographing our special day. We were delighted when we received the
beautiful photos so promptly and pleasantly surprised with many wonderful
candids. Kelly captured all the special moments throughout the day and
added her creative ideas to provide us with spectacular images that we will
treasure." | |
