Kate saved the day hours before our engagement photo session when our booked photographer backed out. She came as a personal recommendation from a close friend and turned a disaster into a godsend. We thanked our lucky stars that fate stepped in to bring Kate into our wedding. Kate is prompt, prepared, talented, and a calming presence. My husband and I spent so much of our special day enjoying ourselves and Kate & her team captured all of our moments. We will be forever grateful that we have AMAZING photos to remember our special day with. Kate will be the first person we reach out to for our future photo needs & we have no doubt she will continue to bless us with beautiful family memories.

I made a spreadsheet, compared pros/cons, & interviewed several photographers. Some of them felt ok but nothing felt great, I worried the overall cost of things was souring my decisions. Then I interviewed Kate Diamond – I left the interview feeling GREAT. She had an answer to EVERY question (& I have a lot of questions), her enthusiasm was contagious, & I immediately felt confident that I could trust her to handle the day. She was extremely detailed, communicative, & clearly had a formula figured out that ensured success. I’ll be honest, her overall price for what I wanted was more than my other options by quite a bit. I had an internal struggle if it was justifiable to spend more money just because someone gave me confidence or peace of mind. My fiancé thought I was ridiculous spending even $1,000 on photos, & close friends would suggest we use some random person who takes photos as a hobby. I couldn’t shake the confidence I felt in her & decided to go with my gut. I felt immediate relief as soon as I booked her & absolutely knew she would rock it.

We opted to have her & a 2nd shooter for 9 hours & they were amazing for every second of it. They were very professional, quick, organized, & worked well within the chaos that surrounds large events. They handled rambunctious groomsmen with ease & kept the day on schedule. Katelynn was great at providing specific posing direction, as needed, to help guarantee the perfect shot. She even helped pick out some last-minute jewelry choices! Not even mother nature could slow them down, & they took magical photos of our first dance in the rain.

I received so many compliments from people the day after our wedding about how our photography team conducted themselves. People were already impressed & hadn’t even seen how the photos turned out! We received our online gallery with all event photos less than a week after we returned from our honeymoon. There were almost 1,200 photos & they are dreamy. I knew they would be good, but I fall in love with my photos more & more each day. The worst part is trying to choose a favorite when I’m trying to order a canvas or something to hang on the wall – I want them all to be seen! Trying to choose only 40 for my fine art album feels impossible. I don’t think my SO has ever been prouder of a photo before & my MIL said she has never seen prettier wedding photos in her entire life. Two other people that I know were married this year, both selected a photographer that was more ‘affordable’, & both had regrets once seeing my gallery. The difference in quality & overall experience is clear. We have had endless compliments about the photos we have shared, & every penny spent is justified. When all is said & done, you really don’t have much else to show from your perfect day – it absolutely flies by & becomes a blur.

Do yourself a favor & savor it all in the best way possible. Get a 2nd shooter, the package with 100% of your photos, the longest package you can afford, & do a First Look. Pay for the travel if you need to, it is totally worth it. If you want certain photos, be specific, write it down, make a list of the people you want included, etc. I guarantee that if you tell Katelynn what you want, she will do everything in her power to make it happen but it’s on you if you don’t share your thoughts.

How someone makes you feel is worth it, spend the money on someone who relieves stress instead of adding to it, confidence is money well spent!

Kate is a must have for everyones wedding! I am so happy we went with Kate Diamond from every detail of the day she captured it perfectly. Being a covid19 bride it was hard to feel like your wedding will be captured greatly after all the postponements, but she went above and beyond with surpassing all of our hardships! If Kate Diamond is on your radar for photography- take the leep and book with her- you will not be dissapointed in the slightest ❤

My daughter Brie Martin had her wedding this weekend Kate and Jessica couldn’t have been any more professional and sweet. They were capturing all the shots that Brie wanted and more. Her sneak peek was beautiful, can’t wait to see the rest. Thank you again for capturing the love between Brie and Matt. I would recommend you to everyone.

Katelynn was an absolute pleasure to work with, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else! She was there for us every step of the way, answering our endless questions and putting our minds at ease throughout the whole process. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she has given us photos that we will truly treasure for a lifetime. In fact, we loved our galleries so much that we ended up purchasing them all! If you are thinking of booking her, do it! You won't be disappointed!

I cannot describe how truly amazing it was to work with Katelynn!! She has a talent that is out of this world! From the engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel very comfortable, and she knew exactly what to say, showing us how to pose, laugh, etc to get that perfect picture! Katelynn is professional, passionate, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. In addition to how amazing she was as our photographer, the photos she took were breathtaking. We were beyond thrilled with how they came out. I would recommend her a thousand times, with 5 stars! She captured our day in the most magical way and created a beautiful memory we will have forever. Thank you Katelynn for everything that you did for us!

I truly don't have enough words to express all the amazing things Katelynn has done for us during our wedding journey. If you are thinking about booking - do it now because it is so worth the investment! Katelynn gets booked up fast for a reason. :)

Not only was Katelynn super informative about making crucial wedding decisions, but she did everything she could to make us truly feel special. She was flexible, patient, honest, and most of all kind. My husband and I love our engagements pictures and all of the incredible pictures she captured at our wedding. She thinks about every little detail in each shot. We now have these amazing memories that will last with us for the rest of our lives. She has a passion for what she does and will help make your wedding journey so memorable and special.

From start to finish Katelynn has been a joy to work with. She has a beautiful eye for photography that seamlessly blends modern, gorgeous poses into natural, candid reactions. We could not be happier with how our engagement photos turned out and due to that, had to have her at our destination wedding!! She’s extremely kind, fun, easy to work with, and makes being photographed a fun and comfortable experience. Not to mention- your photos will be bomb and everyone will be asking where you got your photos done. Do yourself a favor and make her your new go to photographer!!

Words really can’t describe how amazing Katelynn is! From the very first email exchange, we could tell she was extremely professional and well versed in her craft. When we had our initial meeting, her organization and passion for her clients sold me immediately. She gave us tips for how to run things day of and even suggested we stay away from certain colors in our engagement photos. For us, knowing that she was committed enough to even help with our engagement photo attire convinced us she was the right choice. From then on, every correspondence was answered quickly and thoroughly. Myself and my husband were extremely nervous to be in front of the camera and not only did we have fun doing it, but we LOVE our photos. Katelynn’s aesthetic is truly incredible. The photos are authentic and genuine as well as editorial. Again, we genuinely can’t say enough good things about working with Katelynn. We really enjoyed working with her as a person and we are legit obsessed with our photos. You will not be disappointed if you hire her!

We had Katelynn and her assistant Jessica shoot our big wedding day and we honestly couldn't have asked for more! They help you organize your day of by having you fill out your day of timeline so they can better arrange themselves to get very moment on camera. When I look back on the photos, there wasn’t a moment that was missed. Katelynn also shot our engagement photos on Lake Michigan, which turned out amazing!!! We will cherish her work forever.
