Ruby Sky has one of the most perceptive styles of photography that I have ever seen. To start with, they were not only very professional in regard to the time they took to get the more candid shots during our wedding day, (posing with family and friends) but they were also not the least bit intrusive in the ceremony or the reception. We knew they were there doing their work, but always on the periphery, takes pictures of everything from the people and their interactions, to the more sentimental objects and "flavor" that coincides with that special day. (flowers, food, dress, etc.) After witnessing their process, I was overwhelmed by how easily they captured the resulting images, which were both strikingly beautiful at first glance, as well as deeply contemplative over a period of time. Keesha's style of pulling up rich colors that coincide with the shimmering light that is so often reflected with the white dress and full smiles that happen on your wedding day is brilliant. The pictures were more than a catalogue of the event, but a representation of the tone and euphoric feelings of one of the most important events in our lives. We highly recommend Ruby Sky Photography.

Keesha and her team were amazing. They were flexible, extremely responsive, incredibly valuable and produced some of the best quality images I have seen. I could not be more happy with the team and their ability to capture a photo journal of the most important moments as well as the details. RubySky was able to customize my package so that we got everything we wanted and none of the things we didn't - they are extremely flexible with locations and times - the RubySky team knows how to make it work! Not only are their photos beautiful, the prints and products RubySky offers are top quality pieces of art.

Keesha and the RubySky team provided a fantastic service with great value. My husband and I first Keesha met at a friend's wedding and found that her work had a rare simplicity and elegance that captured the sentiment of the occasion. Keesha and her team were also very flexible with us. Our wedding was in Charlottesville, but we live in New York, and wanted to have our engagement shoot in Central Park. Keesha and her team made it work, and travelled up to New York to make it happen. She was also very responsive, which was a huge help while planning a wedding long distance. We loved the pictures that she produced - both for our engagement shoot and our wedding. She has a wonderful eye for details and flawless execution.

We absolutely LOVED having RubySky photograph our wedding and have already highly recommended them to family and friends getting married in the coming year! We were married in Staunton, VA at Barren Ridge Vineyards but were planning our wedding from Charlotte, NC where we currently live. Keesha (the owner) was so flexible, attentive, helpful and accommodating when it came to making arrangements for the wedding as we were out of town.
During the wedding Keesha and her assistant (Katie) took pictures non-stop and were so flexible and laid back with us. They were open to any suggestions but had wonderful suggestions of their own, which took all of the stress off of our shoulders! I knew they had everything under control. They were also so fun and friendly and we actually wished that they could have just put their cameras down and joined in the celebration! We definitely had a connection with them and they contributed to our great memories of that day just by being there with us.
Overall they were so wonderful and we couldn't have been more pleased with the pictures! Just take a look at the samples on their website...I don't have to say anything more about the quality and creativity of their photographs since they speak for themselves!
Keesha has a refreshing appreciation for art and for capturing our human sentiment. If only she could be my personal life photographer...

I can not recommend RubySky Photography enough! The photographer was one of the most important factors of my wedding - if not an even tie with dress and venue! There are so many "packaged" wedding photography options out there; nothing wrong with it, but for me, that wasn't what I wanted. I had my criteria: artistic, photo journalistic, vintage quality, unique, etc. Keisha and her team delivered!
Keisha was extremely responsive via email and was always willing to talk or meet if needed. She was wonderful with providing advice on a "first look" - my husband and I were very hesitant about seeing each other before the ceremony; we were worried about not having that "wow moment", but Keisha was great with offering guidance and advice. In the end, we went with the "first look" and couldn't have been happier!
About a week or so after the wedding, we received a note from Keisha with our Sneak Peek on the RubySky blog - what a great treat to see a few photos so close to the wedding! About a month or so later, we received our completed proofs and online portfolio right on time as stated. Our photos are works of art... Friends who were at the wedding have been raving about the photography - they keep pointing out moments that reminded them how much fun they had at the wedding. For me, that's wonderful photography when a photograph sparks a memory.
After tons of research, I found Keisha's value to be one of the best out there! Reasonable pricing, stunning photography, professional - what more do you need? I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and if I could do it all again, RubySky Photography would be there with us!

Keesha and her assistant did an amazing job at our wedding! Leading up to the date, she was great about responding and working with all of my questions, requests and last minute changes to plans. I REALLY appreciated the 'sneak peak photo blog' she did of our wedding right after the date -- it was fun to send to friends and it helped us be patient for the rest of our images. The value of the unique and high quality photography far surpassed the incredible price. I would recommend RubySky Photography to anyone : )

Keesha was amazing! I was hesitant at first because I live in North Carolina and I knew we would not be able to meet face to face until my wedding day. However, I loved her website, and felt like I knew her just by emails and phone calls. She was very prompt and professional, and she really made me feel at ease throughout the entire engagement/wedding planning process. The photos were better than I dreamed they would be. They were absolutely perfect! I am telling all of my friends and family about RubySky Photography.

Choosing RubySky Photography for our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. From the very beginning of our correspondence, Keesha (owner) was flexible, friendly, and absolutely wonderful to work with. Her and her second shooter (Katie) are so fun and creative. We chose to do an engagement session with them as well, and are constantly told we have the best pictures on Facebook!
For our wedding, they were professional and relaxed, but efficient and focused. Working with them was spectacular and I highly recommend them.

We LOVE our wedding pictures from RubySky Photography. Keesha was fabulous to work with. We felt like she really paid attention to our personal styles and tastes. We would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!

I could not be happier with Ruby Sky Photography! Keesha is an absolute pleasure to work with and her photographs are amazing. We did an engagement shoot as well as our wedding day photography with Ruby Sky and the results of both were wonderful photographs that capture the beauty of both big and small moments. Keesha has an artistic eye that finds lighting and natural spaces that make for romantic, timeless photos. We find more things that we love about them every time we look at them! I hope to use them again in the future for family photography and would highly recommend them to others for wedding or any special event photography.

Keesha and Katie shot our wedding at the end of June, and having them around on our big day could not have been better. They are very sweet and fun, and they took the most amazing photos. We described to them beforehand what we had in mind, and they totally produced what we had envisioned. There is not a better photographer out there!

Keesha made my husband and I feel completely comfortable as we took pictures together. She gave us guidance while still allowing us to be natural together. I was constantly reassured by her feedback throughout the day that she was getting wonderful shots. She checked in with me a couple times throughout the reception to see if there were any group pictures I wanted and was always available if an impromptu picture came about.
Since I have received my proofs I have had nothing but positive feedback from family and friends. They all loved the black and white photographs and Keesha's ability to capture some very intimate moments with such grace.
In searching for a photographer we found exactly what we wanted with RubySky. Keesha was absolutely wonderful to work with and her pricing fell well below any photographers we contacted in the Northern Virginia area. She was a wonderful communicator leading up to the wedding and even though we did not have her take our engagement photos, we were completely confident with her ability and what she would produce on the day of the wedding. I whole heartedly recommend RubySky for your wedding photographer!

We got married in Charlottesville in April, and working with Keesha as our photographer was a delight. She strikes a hard-to-find professional balance between staying true to her personal style and creativity, while at the same time respecting the preferences of the couple. The pictures, as a result, turned out beautifully. Keesha's photography captures the life and emotion of the moment through an artistic style that is unique to her. We are very pleased with our decision to go with RubySky, and would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding in the Charlottesville / Central Virginia area!

RubySky Photography has been amazing in every aspect. The photographers were nice, professional, and so creative. The photography turned out great, and everyone: myself, my husband, our family and friends, is so happy with all the pictures. Before the wedding I did a lot of research on the best photography for the price and RubySky's packages included the most and the highest quality products for the prices. Their blog was creative, Keesha was prompt in responding to my e-mails full of questions and was always avaiilable for a phone call, e-mail or even in person if need be. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use RubySky. You will NOT regret it.

I can't say enough good things about RubySky Photography. They did an amazing job capturing the moments of our wedding day and took all the pictures I requested. They were fun, laid-back, professional, artistic, and creative.
Looking at our wedding photos reminds me of how wonderful our wedding day was and how important it is to have wonderful photographers and, hence, wonderful photographs. You eat the wedding cake, flowers die, and you will probably only wear your wedding dress once, but photographs last forever and are an amazing way to share your special day with family and friends, especially those who weren't able to be there. RubySky did a fantastic job with our wedding photos and I would recommend them to anyone!

I had first heard of RubySky Photography when my husband and I went to a wedding show in Staunton. Honestly, I saw Keesha's photos and a whole room of other wedding photographers and I could tell the difference from 10 feet away. Their photos are unmistakably unique, vivid and absolutely stunning.
We loved working with Keesha and her team. They were very flexible and kind, and funny too! We were on a tight budget, but I wanted Keesha and her team to be our photographer for the night. I am glad we chose them, the day wouldn't have been the same without them. These are pictures our friends and family will cherish for years to come.
Thank you again!!

I highly recommend the services of RubySky Photography. From the very first time I contacted her, Keesha was so kind, professional, and helpful. It may seem silly, but it really adds to your experience when your vendors express enthusiasm about your wedding and make you feel like it is more than just another event to them. Keesha was really great about that, and that made her such a pleasure to work with.
As for the photographs, I have already gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and creative they are. I also really love how much variety there is--there are pictures of my husband and me in a vineyard, in the woods, on a split rail fence, and (from our day after session), in downtown Staunton, in a field, in front of some great buildings, etc.
Being an extremely Type A person, I also really appreciated how efficiently Keesha and Katie were able to finish all the posed shots with all our family members so we could get to the party. I realized later that I barely noticed them at the reception, which speaks to how well they were able to capture the night without interfering in the flow of the event. And even though I am not particularly girly and was a little apprehensive about my ability to both pull off wearing a wedding dress for that long as well as look "model-esque" for all these pictures, Keesha was great at making me feel at ease and giving direction.
Our pictures came back on time as promised, just as we'd asked for them, and perfectly edited. Keesha was very flexible in terms of helping us develop the package we needed and the value for cost was really unbelievable.

I love RubySky's style of photography (which I'd consider to be more photojournalistic). That's what originally drew me to them. After meeting Keesha and Katie in person, they were wonderful to work with; professional, talented, kind, and fun! I didn't get the chance to meet Keesha before the wedding so we met the day of the wedding, which made me a bit nervous beforehand. But I had nothing to be nervous about, they knew exactly what they were doing. They were even willing to travel a couple hours to my wedding site at no additional charge. The candids were great, the portraits weren't too posy or stiff, and the editing is fabulous. You won't be disappointed if you go with RubySky Photography for your wedding, guaranteed!

Keesha and Katie were amazing! We had some special circumstances at our wedding and they dealt with them wonderfully! They both were extremely professional and yet so sweet the entire time. During the reception we hardly even noticed them, they were not intrusive in any way. And the pictures did not reflect that at all. When we got the proofs back, they captured everything! Nothing was missed. They even managed to catch my husband smiling, even though he hates to smile in pictures! Keesha stuck by me the entire time I was getting ready, yet she fit in like on of the girls. She was so amazing during the entire process! My only advice to future brides is beware, you will be amazed by the pictures so make sure you buy more than you think you could possibly want. Believe me you will want them all! She has been a blessing to work with!
