The “Besties” of 2008

We would be remiss not to have a post dedicated to some of our favorite moments of 2008. (The Dundies were already taken so we went with Besties) We are blessed with some of the most amazing subjects who start out as clients and leave as friends. I wish I could post 100 images but I am going to discipline myself to chose a few less than that!

Thank you all for constantly challenging Ryan and I to go the distance in our shooting and for trusting us with some of the crazy ideas we come up with. Thank you for your transparency with the lens and for letting us be privy to some of your more intimate moments. It is an honor to serve you with this medium.

Please vote for your favorite photo and tell us why it grabs you. The subject of the winning photo will receive a complimentary 16 X 20 enlargement. Second place will receive a 11 X 14 enlargement mailed as a Christmas/New Years gift. Go, go, go……

Vote, vote, vote at Filtering Life Says:

[…] I need to shamelessly direct you to the Kellan blog to cast your vote on the “Besties” of 2008. This is by no means an exhaustive list of […]

Rachel Says:

Okay…I love every picture..And I mean it.

However, my ALL TIME FAV would be Candance and the boys in the crib. That is life at its craziest with a toddler and a new baby and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Its an amazing picture with such personality and life to it that I just CAN NOT stop looking at it…

3

Sam Says:

uh hands down 43. It isn’t even CLOSE.

5

Elizabeth Says:

Are you even kidding? I love those pictures. They are all totally fantastic. I do have to say, however, that my favourite is #13. That woman exudes beauty and I think that portrait is fantastic. Love it. My second would have to be #43.

6

sizzle Says:

How am I supposed to pick one?! They are all so perfect in their own way. Almost makes me want to get married (and that’s a small miracle!).

If I had to choose though, I would pick the one of Obama holding the mic looking down. It’s humble and full of meaning with the flag behind him. I love it.

8

Jackie Says:

I’m gonna go with 19. LOVE IT!!! So outdoorsy and cute!

9

Carolanne Says:

I love #2 - such real emotion and unplanned. The smiles are wonderful! LOVE IT.

10

Shari Says:

This is sooo hard to pick one. I loved looking at everyone of these when they were posted in the Kellan page… to pick ONE.. gah.. is so hard. I always enjoy the shots of the wedding rings. I think that is so cool. But I loved loved loved #14 when you posted it.. and that has to be my choice.

11

shannon Says:

Gosh this was hard and that’s a good thing. They are all AH-MAZING! But the one that stands out to me the most is #19. It’s so full of meaning. When married life throws you tough times you hike up your skirt/pull up your pants and you keep on loving each other because that’s what a union is about. It’s also just a darn beautiful photo! That water…wow!

12

Loren Says:

You have given quite an impossible mission, kelly. All of these are awesome in different ways; however, I am never one to not complete a mission. When I first read that we had to choose our favorite, I was crossing my fingers that a picture from the vintage furniture store made it in…AND IT DID!!!!! Because of my gut instinct, I’m going to have to go with numero 32. It just reminds me of something that would be in a vintage voque. My runner up was number 19, though, if that is needed for any tie breaker. :)

13

Candace Says:

You guys are such an inspiration and it’s been an honor to tell people, “Call Ryan and Kel, they do amazing work,” and know I am speaking about you professionally, but also as friends. You both have found your niche and we are so happy for you.

While 20 and 39 are my personal favorites and should belong in a museum, for this purpose I must go with 27. I remember when Ryan first loaded this pic on flickr and I was stunned - such an amazing photograph and so cool that’s it’s a piece of art of living history.

14

Rhiannon Says:

#1! Love it!

15

Heather Says:

I’m torn between 5 and 19. I think 19 wins, though.

Of course, they’re all stunning, Kelly.

16

Dori Says:

# 1 , the love in that picture just jumps right out. i wish you guys were in my area because your pictures are fantastic.

17

christin Says:

1, 3, 14 - and both Obama pictures are amazing. I mean that is history there. Who gets the picture if those win - will you send it to Barry himself? :)(ha) These are all amazing pictures though, you guys blow me away!

18

Tally Says:

I love #7, it’s the best! #4 is also beautiful!

19

Stacey Peterson Says:

5, 19, 42 - how am I supposed to pick only ONE??? I think I’d go with 19 of those three… Although I think 5 is a great photo, and it’s history. And 42 is just gorgeous too.

20

Heather H Says:

I can’t just pick one. I love number 1, I also love 38 - LOVE it when wedding photographers capture FUNNY moments. I also love the first one of Obama (if he wins, will you mail him a huge print?! :) AND, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the one of Candace in the crib with the kids - I actually think about that photo from time to time.

You guys are amazing, really. It’s fun to see your talents growing - you’re only getting better and better…and I’m not just blowing smoke up your a$$ cause I love you guys in real life.

26

27

NUMBER 19 BY FAR IS THE BEST PICTURE!!!

28

Demetria Says:

29

Krista Shires Says:

Number 19 is definatly the best. What a beautiful picture!!

30

Diane Bigos Says:

31

Stephanie Trinh Says:

This is my favorite picture because the photo capture the bride and broom so naturally.

32

Cherry Says:

Love picture #19

33

Stacy Says:

Well, I love #2 and 19, but I think my fav. (the one that “grabs me”) is #2…I happen to know these precious subjects, and the love and happiness on their faces is as genuine as it gets, so that’s my vote, they’re all FANTASTIC, and you all do BEAUTIFUL work—wish you were in SC so I could use you! :)

34

Sabrena Says:

I love #4…it’s such a perfect moment that looks like she could be running toward the rest of her life with a glance over her shoulder to see if anyone is willing to follow! I love the lighting, the movement of her dress, the look on her face and the beautiful place!!

35

Heather G. Says:

All of these pictures were wonderful. I was just thinking about how nice of a gift a blown up picture would be for a newly married couple. Then, I thought about how sweet the kissing pictures were, but I began to think they might have been “prompted” … (grr the thought process for me here, lol) so anyways, I went with a very candid shot and my number one choice was #38, lol… where the poor guy was getting his head smashed into the ceiling… but for a more serious shot… I love #2. I think of being that couple and the emotion that picture would spark as we grew older together and had that to look back on. (Sorry for giving you a glimpse into my mind!) Merry Christmas!

36

tony thmas Says:

#19 this picture rock

37

Liz Says:

14, 19, 25 and 55!

I think 19 is in the lead… :) I tried to imagine the photo as a 16x20…. so those are my fav’s to be blown up!!

Your work is ah-maz-ingggg!

38

Shonnie Says:

I think l Like # 19 the best.

39

Abby Says:

42

Every woman dreams of looking just like that on her wedding day.

40

Wanda Says:

Picture #1, obviously the happiest couple on the page! And the flower in the hair is a unique touch!

44

Amy Says:

Who would get the Obama shots? I love those, but since no one would win the prize, I vote for #17 and #20.

45

Dikola Says:

My mom is here. Tara likes 1 and 20.
I like 42, 35, 12…great backdrops that compliment your subject and I love the finishes??is that how you say that? Love 31 of bennett, and my favorite is 25..Natalia’s eyes and the bench and the look on her face…just love it!

46

Rebecca Says:

47

Brian Says:

34!

48

Becky Says:

I would have to say… #33. I love the raw emotion and the moment you captures. #35 is a good second. They are all SO GOOD!

49

Julie Nickerson Says:

Wait. I’m confused? Who wins? The people in the photo? But some are of Bennett.

I LOVE the Bennett photos, by the way!

Wow, this is hard. I really love 35. I love the backdrop, I love the texture and color you put on it. It has this old time romantic feel, but also very fresh and new.

I also love 33 b/c her laugh looks so contagious. You wonder what he is saying to her.

And 42 is pretty amazing too. It looks like a very peaceful yet stunning photo.

Is that too many??? :)

Number 1 is the best. This picture has perfect angles (the subjects are a bit to the side and the arm to the right makes the pictures asthetically interesting). Definitely #1

66

67

70

#3, the contrast and detail of the wall behind them is great and i love how he’s leaning in for the kiss and she’s clearly enraptured, with her eyes closed….le sigh…it’s SO romantic! you can tell there’s a lot of love in that kiss… :-)

71

40 - Sammie is to die for period!
42 - This picture is like the openning to a new begining!
51 - This couples pictures were amazing and they are just a hot couple!

Thanks for putting us in the running, but I just don’t know how anyone could even narrow these pictures down to just one!

73

Dariusz Says:

1. a lot of good shots, a lot! good technique (camera & photoshop) hard to choose. if you like people and if you believe in love photo #45 (doesn’t matter: contrast, light, composition) something about people and friends!
2. photo #43 “the story must be told”
3. photo #17 - location built this photo
4. photo #32 - urban, urban, urban - the good old 70’s :-)

75

Second place…. #29….I like the attitude.

76

Carolyn Says:

#19 is absolutely adorable!

77

15 is a combination of gangster, sexy, flirty and fun. But it is the red couch that makes it all POP! Definitely this one.

78

Carson Says:

All are excellent, however, one of my favorites is no. 13….:):)

79

Amanda Brown Says:

Totally impossible to pick! They are all masterpieces. But I LOVE number 14! It’s so saucy and I love the contrast of the shiny red shoe against the rough wood of the barn. That almost sounds dirty.

80

Jimmy Haskins Says:

45 is my pick.

81

Natalie Says:

Um, I would like to vote for ALL of them.
Ok - the ones that really stood out the most to me were - #25, #19 and every single one of Brad and Lindsey! On and the ones of Bennett are my faves too….

137

SarahD Says:

Ahh…it’s so hard to pick one, because I like them all for various reasons. Some are more artsy, some are more sexy, some are cute and some are just plain humorous. I’m drawn to #20 because I’m in that hairy mom phase and understand her pain (and love her decor). But the romantic side of me adores #35…so that’s my pick.

145

Abby Says:

146

leah m. Says:

the clarity in number #55 is amazing but i like cute couple shots far too much so i must also say #51 all the way!!!

147

kim Says:

#47 looks like it came out of a magazine…it’s awesome! but i like #51 the best because of the couple’s interaction…it’s sweet but still sexy at the same time….AMAZING JOB kellan studios!

the set that you did of brad and lindsey was absolutely amazing…unlike any of your other work! i loved it…all their shots look like they came out of vogue. 14 is so hot but 51 is so cute and different. i cant decide between them!

Aubin Says:

From the very first time I saw this picture it struck me as gorgeous and right out of a magazine—#1. I still love it, and while it looks like 19 is going to win and was actually my second favorite, I’m choosing to go with the one that always catches my eye. You guys are extremely talented—I love it! Praying for continued success for you both. God has definitely gifted you!

198

Ann Says:

These photos are sooo fantastic…it’s really difficult to choose. Can you vote for more than one? I like different pics for different reasons and the feelings that are evoked from viewing them….

I love #43…how heart moving is that one!
I love #42…the “mood” the color creates
Yet #51…is soo much fun!! I love how they are dressed…it’s very hip and funky!! Totally different background to take pics…who would have thought you get this kind of result!! I love the chemistry between these two in ALL of their shots!! I guess I’d give them first place if you can’t vote for more than one!!

Nancy Says:

this is really hard… my favorites are 3, 14, 40, 47, and 51. I love them for all different reasons, because they are all pretty different…
3: passion! and the colors are so brilliant
14: HOT! love the shoes, were they yours kelly?
40: adorable-she is just too cute…
51: modern, this is what’s in style now….I’m so glad the “traditional” engagement shots are changing…out with the boring and in with the sexy and unique photos. People really seem to like this one and I def see why.

I guess if I have to pick a favorite it would have to be 51. I am a big fan of your work, and I have never seen anything like this in any of your other sets…it is awesome. I love where yall are going with your photos (future). the couple in this shot had outstanding pictures(from there set)…good looking couple, great locations, and awesome editing…. bravo kelly & ryan!! bravo.
