Minnesota Wedding Photographer Q&A with Kelsey Buehler

Business Name: Kelsey James Photography

What’s your story—how did you get started as a wedding photographer?

When my son was born, I wanted to learn how to take photos of him, so I started self-teaching through YouTube and any online educational resource I could find. It quickly turned from a hobby into a passion and into a career I adore and love! I am a firm believer in marriage and love celebrating with my couples on their first day of their married life.

How long have you been photographing weddings? Approximately how many weddings have you shot?

I’ve been photographing weddings for 12 years and have captured over 150 weddings.


How would you describe your photography style in a few words?

Timeless, bright, joyful, and gorgeous.


How far in advance should couples book you?

Couples typically book 6 to 18 months in advance.


What packages do you offer, and which is the most popular?

I offer 8–10 hour collections, which are my most popular packages.

Are you the photographer who shoots the wedding, or do you have a team?

Yes, I am the primary photographer. My couples also have the option to add a second photographer for their wedding day.


Do you charge a travel fee?

Not to 5 Family Ranch—it’s one of my preferred venues!


Are albums or prints included in your packages?

I provide my couples with a print credit to order some prints from their gallery right away. They also receive full print release to print wherever they’d like.


How long after the wedding do couples receive their images, and how are they delivered?

I deliver wedding galleries within one month of the wedding day via an online gallery.

Bonus: What’s your favorite spot to shoot at 5 Family Ranch—and why?

The white walls are a perfect blank canvas to create with, and I also love the low-lying branches on the trees behind the building—they create such a romantic backdrop!
