About

Based in South Bend, IN, Katie specializes in capturing classic weddings with a twist on modernism... Her goal at every wedding is to capture images that the couple will love years down the road and can re-live the day like it were yesterday.

Katie works with the same second shooter at every wedding, her husband, Chris. Adding Chris' eye for photo journalism was the best decision she ever made in her business to make sure every aspect of the wedding is documented in it's entirety.

The best Wedding Photographer

I discovered Katie through a Google search for "Notre Dame Wedding Photographer" and was immediately captivated by her stunning portfolio. Little did I realize how fortunate I was to have stumbled upon her work. Katie beautifully captured our engagement photos at Notre Dame, and from that moment on, I knew I wanted her to be the one to document our wedding in Cape Cod, MA. Thankfully, she was available and willing to travel for our special weekend.

Katie played an indispensable role throughout our wedding festivities, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we captured every cherished moment efficiently. Her dedication ensured that we had the most extraordinary wedding day, brimming with unforgettable memories.

From the outset of the wedding planning process, Katie exhibited a proactive approach, anticipating our needs and attentively addressing every detail leading up to the big day. We were particularly impressed by her swift delivery of our wedding photos, which arrived within two weeks. Not only did she exceed our expectations in terms of turnaround time, but the photos themselves are absolutely stunning, capturing the essence of our special day in the most beautiful way possible.

We were so impressed that we hired Katie again for my sister-in-law's wedding, and once more, she delivered a flawless experience. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough.

The best of the best

Katie was the first vendor we booked and for good reason - she is the absolute best of the best!!!! Do not sleep on hiring Katie - you will not regret it. Her photography speaks for itself, but beyond that she is so organized, thoughtful, trustworthy, and incredible to work with. She really got to know us as a couple, listened to what was important to us, and helped us execute our many wishes in a tight timeframe. Most importantly, she made us so comfortable and it truly shows in the photos. I will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever.

The Best Choice You'll Make for Your Wedding Day

Hiring Katie and Chris to photograph our wedding at the Basilica is by far the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning. Katie is like a wedding fairy godmother who makes everything happen exactly the way you want it at your wedding. Katie and Chris are so kind and friendly, and it was so easy for us to be natural around them and not feel overly posed in our photos. Every picture turned out perfect, and now we have hundreds of beautiful images of every detail of the day. Wedding photos are so important because they define how you remember your day, and especially in a pandemic when many people we love only saw our wedding through photos. It was worth every penny -- in fact, I expected to pay a lot more for such high quality. Can't say enough about what a great wedding photographer Katie Whitcomb is!

The BEST Vendor You Can Hire - Book Her NOW!

Katie Whitcomb was the first (and best) vendor that we booked for our wedding 2+ years out. Had we not had Katie there to help us throughout the process, down to the hours before wedding day, we would have never pulled off such a successful day. If you are lucky enough to book Katie, you will receive not only the best photos you could ask for, but step by step direction for timeline planning, photo locations and overall reassurance that she will do anything to make it the best day ever. Katie was there for us every step of the way, especially when a global pandemic came into play, and went out of her way to make it run beautifully and smoothly.
Beyond how amazing Katie is as a person, her work is INCREDIBLE! We received a sneak peek the next day, a full blog post by the end of the week and the FULL online album within 3 weeks. I go through all of our photos at least once a week to relive the day because she captured each and every part of it. We are still receiving so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful her photos are. Oh and she send you the cutest gifts along the way – how nice!
We will never be able to thank Katie for all that she did for us, we are lucky enough to consider her a great friend after the process! Book her EARLY and FAST!!! You will not regret it.

Katie is the best!

My wedding would not have been the same without Katie. Before the wedding even happened we had 4 phone calls to discuss timelines, music, pictures we wanted, etc. She put together our entire timeline and made sure I didn't forget a thing. I felt like she wasn't just my Photographer, but my Wedding Planner and Maid of Honor. Even more, my parents and brother couldn't attend due to COVID and she was sure to make them included digitally every step of the way. She kept us on time, didn't forget a single request we had, didn't seem frazzled at all/helped me chill out and was honestly the reason our day went so smoothly. HIRE HER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Best Vendor Ever

Beside saying yes to my husband, hiring Katie and Chris was the single best wedding planning decision I made. My father even thanked her by name first thing in his speech. Not only are our pictures absolutely stunning, every moment perfectly captured, and every detail documented, but Katie brings a presence of peace and joy to the entire wedding process. We had to postpone, then change our venue 9 days before our wedding, and Katie was a true friend and confidant through it all. I don’t have enough words to thank her and Chris for making our day as beautiful and special as we had ever dreamed despite all the challenges. Our guests were wowed even before they saw the pictures. From buttoning a dress in 30 seconds to giving my husband a granola bar in the church because he hadn’t eaten anything to making our bridal party have so much fun taking pictures, Katie and Chris were the cornerstone vendor in our wedding. I could write a book, but suffice it to say—you will be so glad you hired this beautiful couple for more reasons than you could possibly know.

Highly recommend!

Katie and Chris are fantastic! From start to finish, they were always very professional and thoughtful, and we are so thrilled with how they captured our wedding day. My favorite thing about their work is how they are able to capture the personality of the couples through their photos. They do a great job in getting to know the couple and knowing what the couple wants out of the day; and then they are also so business-like and professional in making that happen. (It often felt like Katie was doubling as wedding coordinator, making sure the schedule was feasible and keeping everyone on track!)

I highly recommend Katie Whitcomb for your photography needs! We will be treasuring her photos for the rest of our lives!

Best photographer experience ever!

Katie photographed our wedding a month ago. She did such a wonderful job on the pictures. She's really nice and great to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and even though you do pose for pictures she makes it feel pretty natural. She’s really organized and she was super helpful before the wedding too. I got a lot of comments from my bridesmaids, family and some other guests on how nice and great Katie is. Also, everyone loves our wedding photos. She really does everything she can to help your dream wedding and dream photos come true. Hiring her for the photos was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I highly recommend you check out her website and blog to see her work!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
