About

Hi! I'm Kate Crabtree, an award-winning documentary wedding photographer who makes joyful and bold wedding photos set against a variety of stunning Maine landscapes. By candidly photographing your wedding day, I seek to capture fleeting, emotional moments that will help encapsulate the love you feel for your friends, your family, and of course your significant other. All you have to do is enjoy your wedding day, and I'll take care of the rest, making photos that tell your wedding day story in an artistic and emotive manner.

No matter whether your wedding is taking place on the coast in a tent, in the mountains, in Acadia National Park, at a private estate or a quaint seaside inn, I'm excited to capture the moments, especially the unexpected ones, that will define your wedding forever.

Incredibly Unique and Talented

We cannot thank Kate enough for her work at on our special day. My husband and I had never taken professional photos before and couldn't do an engagement shoot because we live across the country. We clicked with Kate instantly when we met and she was such great energy all weekend. She helped position us in ways to help us look best, which is what I really needed since I had no idea how to take a good picture and wanted to love these pictures for the rest of my life. Her photos stand out from other wedding photos in how unique and fun they are and capture incredibly deep moments we would have missed otherwise. She is like no other wedding photographer you'll find and you won't regret hiring her for photos you'll look at forever.

Kate Crabtree! We cant thank you enough!

Kate Crabtree did more than capture the essence and spirit of our wedding day! She is truly an artist. Her unique, vibrant, colorful and creative style captured moments that blew our minds, filled our eyes with tears and will be framed and displayed forever in our home. She exceeded our vision for still frames captured on our wedding day.
Kate is genuinely kind, reliable and super organized - which was important given our micro-wedding took place during a pandemic! She's a total professional and an all encompassing wonderful photographer that we would (and already have) recommend to friends, family and acquaintances.
We can not thank you enough Kate! And we so look forward to working with you again.
XO,
Pete and Hillary

The best photos we will ever have of ourselves

There are not enough amazing things I can say about Kate. If I could give her 10 stars on everything, I would! A phenomenal photographer that I could trust was my #1 must have for our wedding. I had seen her work from a friend's wedding years before and immediately sought her out when the time came for ours. Having a photography background myself, I was VERY picky about our photographer choices, and found myself always comparing everyone else to Kate. Her images captured the feel, the emotions, the action, and the dramatic natural landscape perfectly. All of these things were important for us on our day. She's not a filter kind of gal; she understands the technical aspects behind great photography and I trust her 1000%. Her second photographer (Ashley) was also amazing. They both made us laugh and feel comfortable, like we'd all known each other forever. If it wasn't for the two of them, our portraits would have taken forever. Kate is on point and SUPER organized. She was the best decision I made regarding our wedding (next to marrying my husband) :) THANK YOU KATE!
