Kat Ma and her team are the absolute BEST!!!

From the moment we met with Kat, we knew we were in excellent hands. Aside from already loving her photography and editing style, it was her candor, honesty, and efficiency that really stood out to us. We were still in the early days of planning our wedding, but after telling her about what we had in mind (and specific things we did or didn't want to do), Kat had so many great suggestions and recommendations when it came to the schedule and sequence of events that we hadn't even thought about. From day one and leading up to the wedding, she helped us feel comfortable and confident, giving us one less thing to worry about.

On the day of the wedding, she and the team helped make our day an absolute success and we are SO glad that we had each of them in our corner. We tend to feel shy and occasionally awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel comfortable and at ease. Kat directed us seamlessly, moving us from one spot to the next, positioning us, and allowing us to be ourselves and enjoy every moment without feeling self-conscious or inauthentic. Kat and her team were ALWAYS looking out for us and thinking of what was best for us throughout the entire wedding - whether it be for photos, for the experience, or simply just for ourselves, and we are so endlessly grateful. We had so much fun with her and the team and would pick them again 1000 times over.


Oh, and the photos turned out absolutely AMAZING. We (or maybe just me) didn't know photos of us could turn out this nice, but Kat Ma and her team can work wonders. The photos captured the essence and aesthetic of our wedding and what we were going for perfectly. We are so thankful for Kat Ma and the team for making this such a wonderful experience and being a part of our wedding fam. Looking back, we can't imagine doing it any other way and would absolutely love to have the opportunity to work with them again. Thank you!!!

Kat Ma is the BEST! 100% Recommend!

Choosing Kat Ma for our wedding day was the best decision ever! Kat Ma and her team went above and beyond to ensure that every details of our special day were documented. We truly appreciated Kat Ma's wonderful combination of humor, care, directness, and efficiency. Her ability to guide us in posing and smiling was so helpful because we had no idea how to smile and pose. She made us feel very comfortable the entire day. What truly stood out was her sensitivity to our needs; she would check in when we felt overwhelmed by photos and allowed us to take breaks. Towards the end of the night, we were touched by her dedication in staying a bit later to ensure that she captured any other special moments we desired.

The candid shots, in particular were our favorites and they truly told the story if our wedding day! Looking through the photos, it’s like reliving the entire experience again. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the incredible fun, crazy, and loving memories they’ve given us.

Kat Ma and her team are genuinely amazing! Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend them. Kat Ma's swift responses to our phone calls and emails, something of utmost importance to us, clearly demonstrate her professionalism and unwavering dedication.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Kat Ma Photography!

Highly recommend

Where to even start…you book your wedding photographers hoping for beautiful snaps of the day, and you get that & so much more from Kat and her team.

Kat was the first vendor we booked immediately after we paid our venue a deposit. Her work speaks for itself, but I still have to add that our wedding photographs are better than we could have ever expected or dreamed of.
Kat and her team are extremely efficient and organize in a way that I could just not describe. They ensure we kept to our timeline to the T. They managed to snap every tiny detail of the day – the end result is truly amazing photography that captures every emotion of the day beautifully. To top it off, she can crack the funniest jokes in a middle of a shoot and the next thing you know, she’s capturing the most natural shot.

Kat and her team really have given us the best memories and we are so grateful to both of them. I can’t recommend them enough and will finish by saying just book them! It’ll be the best decision you make.
