I cannot recommend Ruét Photo enough. Kelsey and Talon both have that rare gift to effortlessly capture every single emotion you feel on one of the most unforgettable days of your life into a single photograph. Every single image is stunning - from the rehearsal dinner to the final dance. Nothing feels posed, or stiff. Every snapshot sings with authenticity, effervescence, and charm.

MEET THE PARTNERS
Ruét founders, Kelsey and Talon, have been working behind the lens together for over 16 years. The married duo bring a dynamic balance to their craft: Kelsey, the visionary and empath, and Talon, the thinker and the connector – resulting in a perfect blend of artistry and reflection, creativity and logistics. Having photographed over 400 weddings as a team, they've seen it all and can communicate wordlessly to balance and support one another. With Ruét, you get two lead photographers and a team that's with you from start to finish.
Two Lead Artists, One Complete Story, & a Shared Passion for Serving Others
Stop your search and book them now! We could not have loved our experience working with Kelsey and Talon more - and our photos are more beautiful, more stunning, more incredible than we could've ever imagined! They are unbelievably talented and a true JOY to be around – just their presence added so much to our wedding day! From engagements, to bridals, to the big day - they always put me (and my spouse who is not comfortable in front of the camera!) at ease.
They were able to capture so many genuine, candid moments between me and my husband – they have a true gift at capturing the essence of people + relationships! They are total pros and kept everything under control and moving along on the big day as well – I honestly don't know what we would've done without them. I really can't say enough great things about them. Booking them was the best decision I made throughout the whole wedding process!!!

We are so happy and grateful to have worked with Kelsey & Talon for our wedding in Italy. Kelsey and Talon are professional, talented, and hard-working; they are also so warm, down to earth, and fun to be around. For our big day, Kelsey & Talon fit in so well. In the bridal suite, Kelsey routinely showered me and my bridesmaids with compliments and support. My husband and groomsmen were so grateful for Talon’s direction and calm presence. During the ceremony, Kelsey and Talon were completely invisible and we were able to completely live in the moment. After our ceremony, Kelsey and Talon had a plan to capture all the most beautiful and special places throughout our rustic Italian venue. Every time we look at our photos, we are transported back to the venue and back to all of our emotions of the day. We loved the creativity and artistic style in the editing process while also maintaining the authenticity of the people, scenery, and atmosphere. We’re completely obsessed. I could not recommend Ruet enough. We loved every moment of our wedding and are so grateful Kelsey and Talon were there to capture it.
"Our wedding photographs are now some of our most special possessions. We are utterly speechless."

I cannot recommend Ruét Photo enough. Kelsey and Talon both have that rare gift to effortlessly capture every single emotion you feel on one of the most unforgettable days of your life into a single photograph. Kelsey (and her multiple cameras!) seamlessly embedded herself throughout my wedding day in the best way - she felt more like a dear friend than a photographer, always there to cheer me on, make me laugh, and provide support when I needed it. The turn-around of the preview album was so speedy, but it was the final gallery that was truly worth the wait. Every single image is stunning - from the rehearsal dinner to the final dance. Nothing feels posed, or stiff. Every snapshot sings with authenticity, effervescence, and charm.

I don’t think you really need to read reviews to know that Kelsey & Talon are the most talented people you will ever meet, their amazing work says it all. But if you will allow me to rave about them even further, please continue reading. I’ve been a big fan of Ruét for years and when I got engaged, I knew I had to have them photograph our wedding. Yes, we did plan our wedding date around their schedule, and it was one of the BEST decisions we’ve ever made (right after deciding to marry each other that is). As a photographer myself, I know how hard it is to be able to capture those organic moments, and they just nail it.. every single time. I could go on days on how amazing Kelsey and Talon are but I will let you experience it yourself because you really shouldn’t look further for the perfect photographers. Trust me, the only regret I have ever heard from friends that relates to Ruét was that they didn’t book them.
"It wasn’t about the prettiest light or perfectly focused photos, that we love, it was about the emotions and organic moments that they were able to capture."

Photos were high on my priority list when it came to planning my wedding. So, before finding Kelsey and Talon, I was tressed to find someone who could execute my very clear vision in my head. I knew exactly what I wanted when it came to the image aesthetics, and Kelsey & Talon did JUST THAT!
Kelsey and Talon are genuinely two of the kindest, most talented people I have ever met. They will make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (something I think we can all agree gets a bit awkward at times). They build a level of comfort with you before you even begin so by the time you are getting photographed it's like having two friends close by.... that just so happen to have like 8 cameras between the 2 of them hanging around their neck! LOVE THEM!

Choosing Ruét as our photographer was one of the most important parts of wedding. While yes, you’ll have the memories of your wedding day forever, investing into photography that truly captures the feel of your day is so important. Kelsey and Talon are absolute artists, their eye for unique composition and beautiful colors are INCREDIBLE.
They didn’t just capture photos of our wedding. They captured moments, feelings, and “vibe” as silly as it sounds. They are very personal and take time to get to know what’s important to you, in order to capture your day in a way that’s unique to you. We get compliments on our wedding photos all of the time. Seriously, book them and book them fast.

Ruét Photo is a dream to work with. There are no words good enough to convey how utterly honored and grateful we were to be able to experience our special day for years to come through their craft. As an artist and designer myself, the photography of our wedding was the most important element. And they delivered! Kelsey & Talon carefully suspended in time every precious wedding memory we could have wanted and more.
They captured every emotion and whimsical precious moment with such attention to detail and talent. It is such a delightfully magical experience to be able to relive our wedding day through their cameras! The best investment we made! You cannot put a price on the talent needed to fully capture your story to create precious heirlooms to cherish, share, and pass down for generations to come.
