Wonderful photographer

From the moment I met Kitty I knew she was going to be wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we were going to get exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. She did an amazing job with our engagement shoot and we couldn’t wait to work with her for our wedding day. Her & Doug did such a wonderful job on our wedding day making sure we had all of the photos that we wanted, scoping out the best spots to shoot, and making sure everything looked perfect. I would highly recommend A Personal Touch Photography to anyone looking for a photographer!

Great Experience

Kitty and the A Personal Touch Photo team were amazing to work with! Kitty was more than happy to provide support, advice and assistance throughout the planning process. All 3 photographers did an amazing job on our wedding day and captured so many beautiful pictures, and kept everyone laughing and enjoying all the pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our perfect day!

Wedding and More

Kitty was my first choice for a photographer while I was planning My Big Red Neck Wedding with CMT! She not only captured the moments leading up to the wedding and reception but was available to all our guests as well. Kitty also was of course my only choice for pictures of my second wedding after my first husband's passing. She suggested we walk around the fair with her since we got married on the first day of the fair. Again magical moments were captured by her eyes behind the lens. I will forever be grateful for what she has done for me and my family. BEST in the business in my opinion.

Having A Personal Touch Photography photographic your wedding, birthdays, family, newborn/baby or an occasion will be one of the best decisions you will ever make. Kitty and her staff are the utmost professionals and will make sure that your day/event is captured leaving you with memories to last a lifetime. My family and I have used Kitty for 3 weddings and numerous family photo sessions and we have never been disappointed. She even worked "behind the scenes" with my now husband to pull off a surprise proposal during a family session. Kitty will customize her services to fit your needs and your budget. Trust me....A Personal Touch Photography is the only photographer you will want to use!

Kitty was an amazing professional. She was able to photograph our wedding on short notice and was wonderfully accommodating. She came to the venue the day before to scope out great picture taking locations and was extremely flexible throughout the day of our wedding. I highly recommend her!

Kitty G. is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! She captured every special moment of our wedding and more! She was super reliable, fun, friendly, sweet. She helped us from the beginning - engagement pictures, timeline, planning and even feedback on our backdrop/decor if we asked! They did a fantastic job. Her partner, Doug, made the guys feel comfortable and used a different type of camera to capture wider angles. I am beyond pleased with A Personal Touch Photographer/Kitty G. My pictures bring me to tears of happiness and are simply PERFECT. I can't write enough positive things or express how incredible my photos turned out. She had great ideas of where to position us on the farm and poses, backdrops, etc. I'd highly recommend A Personal Touch Photography for any occasion, especially your wedding! Love her and their work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kitty was so great! She kept us all on track and was great at seeing where the good shots would be. It was helpful for her to direct us on what to do or how to stand. She was key in my wedding going off without an issue and she worked great with the DJ making sure they were both aligned the entire day. Definitely recommend for any photography needs!

Working with Kitty and Doug from A Personal Touch Photography was a great experience. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed all while having a fun time taking pictures from the day of our engagement shoot to the wedding! They were able to get a lot of great shots and offered us over 1,300 pictures to look at in the end.
