Kelly was everything and more that my husband and I could have asked for in a wedding photographer. She is a talented photographer who produces beautiful, real (in a positive way) pictures. She is patient, good-natured, polite and above all else can keep you laughing even when you're tired of smiling. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding photographer in the Portland area. Her work is a great value, and she is a wonderful person!

One word: AMAZING! Kelly came all the way from Portland to Central Illinois to photograph our wedding, and we are so thankful that she did. Throughout the whole process, Kelly was quick to respond to our emails, and I didn't even really feel like she was across the country! She was so fun and wonderful to work with, and she was INCREDIBLY professional and flexible with our chaotic day and our very short window to shoot photos in before the ceremony. We are beyond thrilled with the number of images we received and how perfectly she captured every moment of our wedding day. The photos are thoughtful, artistic and beautiful.

I can’t really even express how pleased my husband and I were with the wonderful pictures from Capture Photography. I found Capture Photography online after searching the web for days, reviewing portfolio after portfolio of different wedding photographers. Kelly’s work just resonated with us. I had hoped that the resulting photos from our engagement session and wedding day would garner at lest a few standouts like the ones displayed on her website. Well, we got those few, and many more. Now the only problem has been narrowing down the favorites for our album! We have such beautiful moments and emotions truly “captured” in photo form from this past summer, and from our wedding. Beyond the preservation of memories, Kelly’s work is also truly artful. Truly, Kelly was lovely to work with, and easy to feel comfortable around. She was very flexible, and creative in working with a variety of settings and subjects. Throughout preparations for (and follow up after) the event, Kelly was always quick to respond, and clear in her communication. When I think about all the time she invested in working with us, and the wonderful end product we received, I have to say it was a tremendous value as well. We are so thrilled with Kelly and Capture Photography, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer with a distinctive, imaginative eye. PS my profile pic on this site was shot by Capture Photography by Kelly Goode for our engagement session. (for some reason the watermark isn't downloading, but it is her lovely work!)

Kelly Goode of Capture Photography did amazing work with both my engagement and wedding photos. She is personable and extremely easy to keep in contact with throughout the process. Kelly really put me at ease during both photography sessions by her organization, professionalism, and likable personality. I could tell she was passionate about her craft and loved it! She ALWAYS exudes a positive attitude and is always thinking artistically and creatively while at work. And it truly shows in the product; Kelly takes every photo scenario and makes it fun. I was amazed with how every photo felt alive and fresh, like the scene was ready to jump out of the picture. I wanted a photographer that captured life and emotion, and that's exactly what she did.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day!! We really loved working with Kelly (Capture Photography) - She's professional, creative, and fun. The photos are really beautiful and capture what our day was all about. Couldn't be happier with the experience and results! xo - Lisa and Deron

Kelly did a good job and some of the photos turned out beautiful. I was disappointed in the area she picked for the family shots as there was a visible play set seen through the trees between peoples heads. I would suggest that she go to the sight the day before the wedding if possible for scouting and take some photos first. The quality of her photos are good.

Kelly did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. From the get go, she was professional, fun and creative. I was thrilled beyond words with the quality of our photos, and couldn't believe how many amazing shots she got of our special day. Upon every viewing of the images, we feel like we are transported back to that day, and we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you Kelly for doing such a wonderful job!
