    Amazing Photo's

    Kim was super professional and I loved having her take our photos.
    We had samples on her facebook page within days (we were able to look at them on our honeymoon) and got the rest within 2 wks of our wedding.

    We got the edits and non-editted photos.

    She was engaging on the day, remembered wedding parties names and took photos that we didn't even think of.

    I loved having her do our photos .

    Please read if you are getting married

    If you are reading this, you are at the exact same position we were in. We were overwhelmed with the preparation and we were seeing so many selections and spoke to many photographers. The thing that made us pick Chateau Photography was working with Ms. Kim Hoyt. Right from the first moment of speaking with here, we were assured that she had plenty of experience and her focus was to take all the headaches of taking pictures for that day away from us and that is exactly what she did. Everything from picture ideas to wedding venue research was under her belt and the day went so much smoother with her. We just got married on Aug 3, 2021. We just got back from honeymoon and just sat in the living room with the pictures on a big tv screen and had the best time reminiscing the moments. Thank you Ms. Kim for saving these moments for us to remember for a lifetime. We are thankful to you and of your wonderful skills. Thank you Wedding wire for introducing her to us.
    We appreciate you for everything Ms. Kim. We hope more people have the same fortune to have you on their special day.

    Captured our special day perfectly

    Kim at Chateau Photography was so amazing to work with! From the first meeting to check-in calls, and then the big day- she was so responsive and easy to work with!
    She did a great job capturing the key moments of our wedding- she was like a ninja, too; I feel like I barely saw her but the the pictures came in and she snapped the best shots!
    She had great ideas for the staged/posed pictures as well. She gave great suggestions in addition to making sure we got the shots we wanted!

    Chateau Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kim! I was so surprised and touched by your beautiful review! You were an amazing bride to work with and I wish you happiness and love forever! Kim Hoyt, Chateau Photography

    Chateau Photography - Kim Hoyt

    I usually do not write reviews but our experience with Kim so amazing I felt I needed share. We used Kim Hoyt for our wedding in Winsted CT, in October 2018. We could not have been more happy!! Kim was an absolute professional from our very first conversation. She understood that we were budget conscious and worked with us to put together the perfect plan for our wedding day. She was very knowledgeable about our venue and perfectly choreographed our wedding pictures. She provided us with over 700 high quality photos as well as several videos very soon after our wedding.
    But Kim didn't stop working with us because the wedding was over. She checked in frequently to see if we had made our photo selections and constantly kept me informed as to when I could expect our hand made album. If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional, and affordable photographer for your wedding day then look now further than Chateau photography.

    We Can't thank you enough!!
    Ray and Sarah

    Best Photographer Ever

    Kim was amazing to work with. She was super sweet and professional and captured all the most amazing moments. We had a little craziness at our wedding too with one of the groomsmen passing out and being taken away by an ambulance but she was really there for me through the whole thing and still made sure to capture all the moments after. She was very kind and understanding. Even a year later WHEN I finally remembered that I never decided on pictures for my wedding album she still made sure my album got done and is currently being shipped to me. We had a fall wedding in October at Mill on the river and the shots came out beyond amazing. Definitely would recommend her to anyone any day!

    Kim was an awesome photographer for our July 9th wedding at The Overlook at Geers Tree Farm. She made sure to capture so many special moments. We had asked that she focus more on candid than formal pictures, and she absolutely did just that. She had our 1100 photos done within a week, and they were perfectly done. Her prices are very reasonable. You will not be disappointed if you choose Kim as your wedding photographer.

    Kim was wonderful to work with! She took beautiful photos for us with a variety of styles, and her schedule was very flexible. She's clearly very experienced, both with her photography and with the lesser-known art of working with a crowd. We had a very limited budget for our wedding, to the point where we thought we couldn't have a photographer at all, but her hourly option made it all possible for us. She is also simply a lovely person. We are so happy we stumbled across her and booked her for our wedding. It made all the difference!

    We couldn't be happier with our wedding pictures by Kim Hoyt. She is outgoing and professional. She called to check in a month before our wedding and then again a few days before.

    Kim is really versatile and talented and, I think, could shoot any wedding style easily. We wanted more traditional shots rather than the photojournalist/ style mag photo shoot style that's so popular now (and which I think will look really dated soon). She will shoot in a photojournalism style, but she also shot all the more traditional shots we wanted. (And we love some of the more "fun" shots which we wouldn't have originally thought was our style that she threw in). Kim also charges about half the going rate of most photographers, particularly those working in the Farmington Valley (where we were married).

    Kim is wonder woman! She is amazing. She did our engagement pictures and our wedding. She took over 1200 pictures used several cameras and angles and didn't even have an assistant! She was one of the few photographers that we could find that would offer packages of just her time and release of pictures on a CD. She was not pushy at all and thats what we loved. On the wedding day she stuck to a schedule, but at the same time made sure everyone was comfortable. She was great at communication via phone and email and her value was amazing. She is friendly, happy and very down to earth. I cannot say enough positive things! Thanks Kim!

    Kim was a complete pleasure to work with. She was very flexible with us, especially considering that we moved our wedding date. Here rates were reasonable and affordable. We experienced the worst snow storm on our wedding day (power outages, uprooted trees, blinding snow) and she still made it on time. She made us feel very comfortable and most of the time we didn't notice her taking pictures. Our picutres were absolutely gorgeous. We continue to receive so many compliments on our pictures. I would recommend Chateau Photography to any one.
