    Captured Journeys made my wedding day absolutely perfect! They captured all the moments that I will cherish forever! I couldn't imagine using any other photographers but this dynamic duo! At first, I was very shy and the camera intimidated me, but this couple brought me out of my shell and made me feel so comfortable! The pictures I have seen so far have been beyond words! Absolutely stunning! The was not one thing that I could say was a negative about Captured Journeys. Hands down the best photographers! If you want perfection for your photos, they are the way to go!

    Kelly and Kalina are nothing short of fantastic. They made us feel completely comfortable, and I love all of our photos so much. I would recommend them to any and everyone.

    Kelly and Kalina took our engagement photos and our wedding photos, they all came out amazing. They are a great team and we were so happy we met them. We met with other photographers, many of which charged more and offered less. We even met with some companies where we only met sales people, not the actual photographers! We knew right off the bat those companies were not for us. We wanted to feel like our event was important, not just one of many they would be handling that weekend. We wanted a team that would get to know us, would take the time to walk us through this process, and would get photos that capture Erik and I as a couple (not just the same shots and poses everyone gets.) We received all of this and more with Captured Journeys and it would be hard for you to find anyone else as reasonably priced while providing the same level of skill, professionalism, and hard work. You deal with Kelly and Kalina only, no sales, no run around. They are prompt to respond to calls and emails and will make time to personally meet with you to show you their work and to get to know you. It was obvious to us that their work was more personalized than the others we met with, each album they show has it's own style. They blend into the wedding, make everyone there feel comfortable, and really do get the best shots (they get all of the important pictures you want to see from a wedding and creative shots you will be blown away by.) We worked so hard on this wedding and I am so happy we hired the right photographer that captured it so well and caught even the smallest details.

    The best photographers my husband and I could have ever asked for. They are probably the nicest people I have met and there work is absolutely phenomenal. We had such an amazing experience with them and can't wait to use them again in the near future.

    Captured Journey's Photography was one of the best investments my husband and I made for our wedding day. You really 'get what you pay for' with this vendor and there results are truly amazing. Kelly and Kalina are very down to earth and accommodating to your needs as a customer. They have your best interest at heart and genuinely work to find what makes you happy; so they can produce the best results. I enjoyed both my engagement and wedding sessions with them, and the moments they captured will make for very difficult decisions when it comes time to select our favorites for an album. As a bride, they photographed moments that help me relive my wedding day over and over, and with just one picture, I feel every emotion as if it were happening all over again. I am overwhelmed by the dedication that these two have towards their clients and craft. Kelly and Kalina are more than just photographers, they are friends who made sure my wedding day would be unforgettable and for that, I am eternally grateful. You are missing out, if you don't choose Captured Journey's!

    I loved working with Kelly and Katlina Schneider! I have been working with them for years and they truly have given me the best modeling experience. They make me feel comfortable with any shoot I have done with them, always charming and welcoming. They are like family! Their photos always comes out amazing due to time and effort they put it in of capturing the right look at the right moment. I can not help but always want to come back and continue to work with them!

    Kelly & Kalina make a great team! If you're looking for photographers who have an eye for creativity and can capture the moments of your event with care and style then look no further. They are a very professional pair and treat you with the utmost care. They captured my wedding beautifully. They love what they do and they do it very well.

    Kelly and Kalina were wonderful to work with. The pictures were terrific! We loved them and still look at them frquently. We received many compliments, from others attending the wedding, complimenting on how much they too enjoyed meeting and having Captured Journeys as the photographers and especially working with Kelly and Kalina.

    Kelly and Kalina are wonderful! Their professionalism, patience and attention to detail is what every couple dreams of on their wedding day. They did a great job capturing our wedding day, They took so many beautiful pictures that it was hard for us to decide what to include in our album. All our family and friends loved them and were impressed by their ability to capture so many special moments throughout the night. They made everyone feel so at ease. We would recommend them for any special event.

    For me and my husband, finding a photographer who had the skill, the passion and the personality to become a part of our wedding was very important. Of all the vendors, our choice for photographer was really our most important and personal.

    So many photographers out there and such a wide range of prices... We looked for a long time before we found Kelly and Kalina's work on a friends Facebook page. Wow.... Kevin and I were blown away. His work and uncanny ability to see the details and capture them in a way that brings smiles and happy tears is a gift from above - however, we knew we still needed to meet them to make sure.

    Although we had 3 other photographers to interview, after meeting with Kelly and Kalina, we already knew we found out photographers. We met at their home and emediately made us feel as part of their family. Thier warmth and sincere intereste in OUR wedding really made us feel special.

    The engagement session rocked. He took us to Old Town Alexandria and although this was for a photo shoot, it more felt like just a fun day with freinds! Even Kevin was relaxed and enjoyed being in front of a camera! I was shocked!

    But the most important of all was how they so natually captured our wedding. Not only did everyone comment to me on how well they worked but that they even liked them! Then within 48 hours of our wedding, they posted the first look images for us to see.... and cry over. They were something out of a magazine. The quality was beyond most images you find in wedding magazaines but what hit home to me was how they showed me again how special my day was... and I now have that to cherish for the rest of my life.... wow.

    They were defintiely the best investment I have ever made and I know i have found my photographers for life!

    What a pleasure.

    We could not have been happier with Captured Journeys! Kelly and Kalina are an amazing mix of professionalism and personality. They somehow managed to capture every important moment without detracting from our day. While many photographers say they can do a variety of styles, Kelly and Kalina really can! Family portraits, fun candids, and dramatic art shots all were executed flawlessly and provided beauty and variety. They gave us everything we asked for and the things we didn't even know we needed but did! Not only do they provide amazing images but they make the process fun and put everyone at ease from our nervous groom to our 2 year old flower girl. I highly recommend captured journeys for your big day- you won't be disappointed!!

    Hiring Captured Journeys Photography for my wedding was one of the best choices I have ever made in my life!! I can not begin to explain how well Kelly and Kalina captured each and every moment with such intricate detail and thoughtfulness. Not only was it an emotional experience--Kelly made it so much fun that we were beeming throughout the process (and not just from getting married)! They were very punctual and timely in getting some initial images to us to be able to share with family and friends! The images were amazing and we received numerous praises and compliments about them. If you are looking for a very professional and talented photographer for your wedding or ANY event please use Captured Journeys Photography! You will not be disappointed! Thank you!

    My only *complaint* about Kelly and Kalina is that they took SO many amazing pictures at our wedding that now we're having a hard time deciding what should be included in the album. Every time I look at the pictures I relive the day, and every time more pictures end up in my favorites, with additional aaawwws and aaahhs. So instead of having about 80 favorites that should go into our wedding album, we currently have over 300. But let's start from the beginning.

    My husband and I spend a lot of time looking for a photographer. It was a very important part of our wedding experience. We wanted not only great pictures, but also somebody we would get along with. We met a few great photographers in the area, but as soon as we spent the first 10 minutes with Kelly and Kalina, we knew we found our perfect photographers. Not only do they do phenomenal work, but they are incredible people as well. They are perfectly professional, yet fun and upbeat. And they delivered when it counted the most.
    We did an engagement shoot where Kelly and Kalina came with plenty of ideas on their own, but also incorporated every request we had. They understood the vision of our wedding and it shows in the pictures they took. As a result, we have funny pictures, serious pictures, goofy pictures. We have emotional pictures, artistic pictures, formal pictures, and candid pictures. We have incredible portraits not only of us and the family, but also of our guests. Their eye for beauty and detail is simply amazing. Kelly and Kalina remembered to take many shots that I wouldn't even think of, but that I am very happy to have. We saw them when we needed to see them, and didn't see them when we didn't need to.
    I am really grateful we had Kelly and Kalina document our wedding. They did what was most important to us: they created a memory such that every time I look at a particular image I remember the feeling I had at that point in time. They were also a delight to have at our wedding, and many of our guests raved about how great they are. Between the amazing work they did with our wedding and how great people they are, Kelly and Kalina are truly priceless to us.

    I am such a picture person so for my wedding pictures, I wanted the best. I came across Captured Journeys website one day on one of the wedding websites I was on & clicked on it. Instantly I loved their work. I emailed them to see if my date was available (which at the time was only 3 months away). They were shooting a wedding in FL at the time but still got right back to me. I was lucky enough to have them say yes. I told them what I was looking for in a package & they didn't hesitate to say they could provide it for a great price. We met Kelly & Kalina in Annapolis to discuss our wedding & to get to know each other. My fiance & I instantly loved them & got along very well. They even took some pictured that day & made a website with our engagement pictures within hours of meeting them. On our wedding day, they showed up early & took pictured the entire morning of me & my girls getting ready, the detail of my dress, the reception room, etc. Then they went & took pictures of all the guys getting ready. They stayed through the entire reception so all in all it was a 14+ hour day for them which I don't know of many photographers would've done that & enjoyed it as much as they did. One we saw our pictures, I was blown away & so was everyone that saw them. Kelly & Kalina put so much time & effort & passion into our pictures & it showed. They took over 1,000 pictures. I will not recommend anyone but them to anyone & I plan on using them for anything we do in the future. They are genuinely 2 of the nicest people we've had the pleasure of working with & truly made our day that much better! Our wedding album passed my expectations & is the best album I've seen.

    Kelly & Kalina recently shot our whole wedding weekend. As they worked, our friends, family and guests raved about what a wonderful job they were doing and asked where we found them. Even before they saw the photos, our good friends wanted to hire them for their wedding. They are so professional and were every where at every angle, even on the ground taking photos of us. They made us feel so comfortable. Not asking us to pose but just to be natural. Our photos are breathtaking. We don't even know at which point some of the photos were taken but you can just see and feel the emotion from each individual picture. We highly suggest booking Captured Journey for any milestone in your life. Kelly and Kalina have a natural gift f making you feel so comfortable with them and the ability to capture moments that some photographers may generally miss because they're too busy trying to get you to pose. It's the moments when no one is looking that the most special things happen and Kelly and Kalina captured those moments for us! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!

    Kelly and Kalina are the best. The quality of their work and the attention to detail is top notch. They also offer an oustanding value for the level of service provided. If you want responsiveness, quality photographs and friendly service you will not wrong with Captured Journeys. I know for a fact that I will be utilizing their services for future events.
