Kerri Lynne Photography

It is with sadness that we write this review since we thought we chose the right photographer for us on our wedding day. We are dismayed that the photos turned out so below average and that Kerri was not responsive at all to our concerns but instead became defensive and not willing to work with us to rectify the problem. We want to make sure others are aware!
1.) The owner/photographer chose an unacceptable site for first look shots after being warned that bride had a bad back and heavy dress. Site was nearly impassable due to snow and groom fell at site. With good weather, it would have been an impossible trek.
2.) Groom needed assistance with pocket square and boutineer during first look shots. Owner/photographer said not to worry and continued with photo shoot. The resulting photos were obvious and awful.
3.) Photographer's assistant asked groom's mother to dance with him while owner/photographer took pictures. After multiple email requests as to why, owner/photographer said assistant saw groom's mother looking "sad and lonely" and wanted to cheer her up. Although owner/photographer and assistant apologized via email, groom's mother stated that she was dancing with someone else at the time and assistant cut in. At the time of assistant and mother of groom dancing, owner/photographer was taking pictures of this dance, therefore neither contracted/paid photographers were taking pictures of reception.
4.) We have only one (inappropriate) photo of the mother of the groom and bride
5.) We barely have any usable family shots. Neither owner/photographer or assistant gave any direction to the subjects to improve the quality of the shots
6.) Countless photos are of sides and backs of heads or are cropped too closely
7.) Almost all of the post-ceremony photos are on the dance floor; there are very few photographs of subjects in the rest of the reception hall
8.) Props we requested and props owner/photographer requested us to purchase and bring were never used

My husband is an United States Army Infantry officer, he proposed to me in April but was scheduled to deploy at the end of December. We decided we would elope with our family and have a larger reception/vow renewal upon his return in 9 months. We decided that we wanted to have a photographer document the special moments and take some formal family portraits at the wedding. I searched and searched for a photographer who was willing to work with us on short notice & also at a reasonable price. I finally stumbled upon Kerri Lynn Photography and she ended up being the best decision! From the start, she was prompt in communication & very patient with my husband and I (he was in training and difficult to get a hold of for finalizations) We met and discussed what kind of pictures I would like to have taken (she came through on all of them!) The day of the wedding proved to be a hectic one...my groom ended up in the emergency room the night before with a terrible virus...we were afraid he would be too sick for the ceremony... the entire time Kerri kept in contact with us, more flexible than anyone could ask for, she gave us options and even offered to shoot with us the next day in case the groom felt too sick the day of the wedding. After all the uncertainty my husband pulled through, even showing up for photographs before me! He was sick as a dog but somehow the pictures still came out STUNNING! It was a hectic day for us, we can certainly laugh about now. However, through all the stress and worry, I never once had to worry about the photography and I have Kerri to thank for that. I highly recommend her, you just can't beat her professionalism, quality, flexibility and price. Plus, she is just about the sweetest thing on Earth!

Kerri and her partner did a fabulous job at our wedding. Kerri was beyond creative in the pictures that were taken. The backdrops that day were out of this world and the fall colors popped out of each and every picture. Kerri was so flexible and let us and the bridal party just be ourselves when taking pictures.

We can not say enough nice things about how our pictures came out and we cannot wait to see our favorite pictures highlighted in our wedding album that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I met Kerri at a wedding expo, what made her stand out from the other photographers was her genuine kindness and the love she has for her work. From day one she seemed really excited about photography and she was always very accommodating. Kerri did our engagement pictures, save the dates, wedding pictures and she just finished our beautiful Thank You notes. Throughout our one year engagement, Kerri was the only "vendor" to continuously email me with ideas for our wedding. I always felt like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. By the time our wedding came around I felt like Kerri was more of a friend than our photographer. We are extremely pleased with her work, she is a very talented young woman, and we look forward to having her do our family portraits in the future.

Never did I underestimate Kerri & her teams ability, but little did I know I would be overwhelmed and speechless by her work. She slipped in on the 'big day' checked in with and went about her work. She was almost stealth-like but never made me feel like what I wanted or needed was being ignored. My husband & I were so emotional in reviewing out pics that it felt like we relived the moments. I imagine in years to come, thru good & bad times, those photos will remind us of that amazing day. Kerri didn't create our love, but she captured it in a way I will forever be grateful for. You'd be lucky to have her as your photographer and foolish to choose someone else. Thanks Kerri. You truly are a story teller & I'm honored to have you as a part of our story.

Kerri Hamm is a wonderful professional photographer. She is very creative and passionate about photography.

She was referred to us by a family member in November 2011. I have to say that Andrew and I were a little bit nervous on our first meeting with Kerri because we did not know too much about wedding photos. Yes, we knew how many pictures we wanted to take with our family members, the bridal party, and our friends; however, we did not know where we will find the place that will match with our wedding theme. Throughout our conversation with Kerri, we noticed that she was fully present and she listened to our requests. After we looked at her different wedding photographs and styles, my husband and I instantly knew that she will be taking pictures at our wedding. We were both happy with our experience with Kerri because she took our vision to the next level. For instance, after the wedding ceremony, we wanted to go to a park to take pictures, but Kerri found a nice place in Beacon, NY with red bricks that perfectly matched the color of our wedding. She knew exactly how to put everyone together and when to take advantage of a good photo shoot. Everyone in our bridal party was very impressed with Kerri’s imagination and talent.

My husband and I love our photographs very much. Every time we will look at our photo album, it will take us back to this unforgettable day of our lives. We would highly recommend Kerri Hamm because she is terrific.

Kerri was fantastic... She was a joy to work with and we couldn't be happier with the pictures.

My husband Scott and I do not have enough wonderful things to say to describe our experience with Kerri Hamm of Kerri Lynne Photography. I spent many months researching local wedding photographers and ended up more stressed than excited. I was looking for a photographer who would take the traditional pictures but also step outside to a more creative and inspired view. A friend of mine recommended Kerri to me kind of by chance. From the moment I met Kerri for our first meeting I knew she was so professional, creative, and overall passionate about photography not to mention sweet and just enjoyable to be around. I was so confident that Kerri would take my ideas and use her amazing talent and creativity to take beautiful pictures. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect! Kerri had taken all of our requested pictures and then surprised us with her own ideas...I could not have been happier!!! Kerri and her assistant Mario were just wonderful and fun to be around. Our whole wedding party had so much fun...we all just laughed the entire time they were taking pictures! When we finally saw our pictures I just cried. They were so beautiful! The months of planning, researching and worrying were so worth it to have such amazing wedding pictures. We cannot thank Kerri Hamm enough for giving us such perfect and beautiful pictures of our wedding day. We are so truly blessed.

Kerri Lynn Photography is excellent! Kerri is an extremely talented photographer. I love every one of my photos. On the day of the wedding, some of my “photography savvy” friends were impressed with Kerri’s timing – stating she positioned herself in the right spot to capture the moment. When I saw my proofs, I knew they were right! Not only talented, she is a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed working with Kerri very much. I highly recommend Kerri Lynn Photography to anyone who wants to capture those once in lifetime moments. Thank you, Kerri.

Kerri Lynne Photography had done both my engagement pictures as well as my wedding. I would recommend her to everyone and I'm sure I will be using her in the future for family and baby pictures when the time comes. I already had a photographer that I had booked with my DJ, but as soon as I met Kerri at the Westchester Wedding Expo, I knew I had to use her. She was very responsive and prompt with all the emails I sent her. She is very passionate with what she does and it reflects with all her work. She is very accommodating and open to all suggestions, but very creative with all her own ideas. Great to work with and very highly recommended.

KLH Photography was wonderful to work with! We could not have been happier with the quality of the images, attentiveness of the photographers, and ease of working together. We also used Kerri for an engagement photo session and were very pleased with the images-- it was also a great way to get to know each other and work together before the wedding. I would highly recommend Kerri and KLH Photography to anyone who was looking for a wedding photographer.

Having seen Kerri’s work - creative note cards made with beautiful nature pictures, engagements and wedding pictures so out of the ordinary – I knew Kerri would be the photographer to get when needed.
When our niece announced her engagement and wedding plans, we called Kerri and contracted with her. Little did Kerri know – neither anyone else – that on the wedding day we would have the storm of the year. ..”Irene”. Well, she was up for the challenge, rain boots and umbrellas became part of the props and my niece has the most amazing pictures she could dream of.
Three months later my daughter got married. As soon as I got the date I called Kerri to see if she was available, since it was on a Sunday, she was. What a blessing to be able to count on such a caring, creative, accommodating and friendly professional photographer.
Kerri arrived promptly at our house and capture precious moments as my daughter, my wife and the bridesmaids were getting ready for Debi’s special day.
Debi wanted to have pictures taken at the Pepsi Gardens in Westchester County. Kerri took upon herself to schedule a visit to the gardens so she could be acquainted with the area. The result is that my daughter has the most wonderful and creative pictures of her, her husband and the wedding party. Kerri even spent extra time with my daughter and her husband as the sculptures lights were coming on and she wanted to take advantage of it.
At the reception Kerri was able to work through the night with ease without interfering with the flow of the events. We have formal and casual pictures and every one is a work of art with which we are so delighted.
I highly recommend Kerri. Whoever hires her will certainly have a most memorable experience and amazing photos.

Bobby and I LOVED our wedding photographes that Kerri made us, when I seen them for the first time I cryed of how amazing they came out!
She was easy to do business with!

When my niece was preparing for her wedding, I knew she was looking for a professional photographer. What better present could I give my niece and godchild? My husband I had seen Kerri's work through the years and he did not hesitate. As soon as my nice and her fiancé saw Kerri's portfolio they were very impressed. What is unique about Kerri’s photography work is her creativity and her heart-felt moments and gorgeous details which brings her beautiful photos alive. Kerri definitely has an eye for interesting detail. Kerri is a great professional, organized, punctual and reliable and her personality captivates you because she maintains a comfortable rapport with her clients. It was a pleasure to work with Kerri and I highly recommend her services.

Excellent experience and beautiful photos!

To all the brides who are out there looking for a fabulous photographer, look no more! KLH Photography has recently taken photos for my May wedding and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Kerri offers very affordable prices with extremely high quality work! I found her to be so informative, creative, and full of energy which ofcourse helped make our experience so much fun! Her passion for photography really shines through her work! She really did a fantastic job at capturing so many beautiful memories for me and my husband. Kerri focuses so much on the individual personality's of every couple and finds a way to catch every single emotion on camera! I was so impressed with her flexibility and professionalism, as well as how quickly we received our photos! We all know as brides how anxious we are to see them!! :) Kerri has a very kind, gentle , sweet personality and is completely committed to making sure that her clients receive nothing but her absolute best!

Kerri not only took our engagement pictures, but she also photographed our wedding in August. She did an amazing job! She is fun, energetic, creative and will do anything to capture that perfect photograph. She truly has a vision unlike any other. She gets to know each and every couple and that shows in her pictures. We had a pretty crazy day, with Hurricane Irene arriving on our wedding day, but that didn't matter. Kerri showed up on time, calm and ready for anything. With all the craziness of the day, Kerri took the most beautiful wedding pictures ever. She was able to capture every moment of our special day. We also ordered a photo book that she designed. When we first saw it, it brought tears to my eyes (good ones of course!). It was absolutely beautiful and was not only a photo book, but a storybook. The way the pictures were laid out and placed, it told the whole story of the best day of our lives. She has a special gift and vision and it shows through every picture she takes. We have recommended Kerri to everyone we know and we will definitely use her again in the future!

Kerri was wonderful with taking our pictures. She captured all the precious moments and did everything that I asked her to do. She had fantastic ideas and was very easy to work with. She was an absolute joy to work with and I could not have chosen a better photographer. I am thrilled with the way that our pictures came out and would highly recommend her!

It was a pleasure working with kerri on our wedding day. She is very talented and professional. Our pictures came out great.

As a videographer, I've had multiple chances to work with with Kerri. She's a creative, energetic co-worker who brings a friendly and well organized sense of work to a wedding shoot. I highly recommend Kerri Lynne Photography!

Flowers are always a beautiful addition to a wedding celebration, but often are not fully appreciated due to the one dimension of a photograph.
Kerri manages to capture the essence of the day and the beautiful flowers with her keen and sensitive eye. The flowers and the entire celebration come alive through her lens. I highly recommend this professional,-- her attention to each detail is what you need to preserve every facet of your special day!

I've had the privelege of working with Kerri Lynne a number of times over the years. As a DJ, I work closely with many photographers. I must say Kerri is a very sweet, talented photographer who knows how to move gently through a room while capturing those important moments. She always carries a genuine smile with her and delights in the happiness of the guests. I also loved how alert she was in catching those extra special moments that occur during a wedding - like this little three year old child who was carrying around a small microphone I gave him while singing his heart out - he was a little "Usher" waiting to be discovered! If you want someone fresh, artistic and full of spirit, but not obnoxious in any way, give Kerri a call - you'll be happy you did!!
