Amazing experience with Kate Holt Photography!
Kate did an AMAZING job at our wedding. She was extremely professional but very friendly. Many of our guests complimented her on great communication in the sometimes stressful process of getting everyone together and posed well for the photos :). She really relieved a lot of the pressure and stress from the wedding. She arrived early, was well dressed, had our timeline in mind and we got amazing photos. She was happy to accommodate for my requests and we got all the photos we were wanting! Thanks so much. Thanks again Kate💖

An amazing photographer!
Kate is an amazing photographer! I could not recommend her more! She had not been to the venue before, but was able to scope out the most amazing spots to take photos. She even found a spot outside of the venue that ended up being our favorite. All of our friends and family were jealous of the sneak peek pictures that came back. Kate and her team are responsive, give lots of information to prepare you, and present details that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. They are a must for your wedding!!

Our wine country wedding
Kate and Dom are wonderful people to work with. We would do it all again with them in a heartbeat! They were professional, timely, relaxed, friendly, and very artistic in their photography. Our experience with both the engagement session and the wedding was flawless. And the results speak for themselves. We have so many gorgeous photos to choose from. Thank you Dom and Trang (and Kate, too) for capturing this special day for us!

Kate Holt Photography
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kate Holt Photography! From the very beginning, Kate was an absolute ray of sunshine and made the entire experience so easy, fun, and stress free. Her personality is infectious, and she has such a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, even the people who usually hate having their photos taken!
Our wedding photos are absolutely STUNNING. The quality, attention to detail, and way she captured all of the little moments throughout the day is beyond anything we could have imagined. Every photo feels so genuine and brings us right back to the emotions of our wedding day.
Kate also went above and beyond for us. She stayed later than planned just to make sure we could capture even more photos and moments, and that meant so much to us. She never made us feel rushed and genuinely seemed just as excited as we were to capture every special moment.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is incredibly talented, kind, fun, professional, and will make you feel completely comfortable, BOOK KATE. We are so incredibly grateful that she was the one who captured our wedding day, and we will treasure these photos forever. 🤍

Absolutely Wonderful Team!!!
We had the pleasure of working with Gabby and Dom on our wedding. From the first zoom meeting, Dom was very nice and professional, he explained the whole process. We received a beautiful welcome package after booking. Communication was quick and helpful leading up to the wedding day. They arrived early to get the details shots. Both Dom and Gabby were extremely professional, friendly and made us feel at ease during the photoshoot. They delivered the Sneak Peak photos so quick after the wedding, they are truly wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them!

Spectacular Engagement and Wedding Photography with Gabby!
We got our engagement photos and wedding photos with Gabby! She is wonderful to work with. She really gives it her all and always has some creative angles for photos. She made us feel so comfortable, felt like we were getting pictures taken by a longtime friend. She gives direction well and I couldn't have asked for a more smooth wedding day! We are thrilled with the final product and so fortunate that we got to work with her!

Fantastic!
Kate Holt Photography was one of the best decisions we made! Dom & Gabby were great and handled everything with professionalism and grace. Our venue was large and the schedule shifted more than once, but they adapted effortlessly, capturing every important moment without missing a beat!
The lighting throughout the day was tricky in several spots, but you'd never know it looking at our photos. Honestly, our pictures look like they're straight off a movie set. Beyond the incredible skill, what stood out the most was how calm, kind, and attentive they were all day. they made us feel completely at ease, which made such a difference on an already emotional day.
We would highly recommend Kate Holt Photography!

Professional, Reliable, and Personable!
My husband and I chose to work with Kate Holt for our wedding and engagement photos! We first worked with Dom to get to know the company and their philosophy on photography, and felt they were a great fit! We were paired up with Gabby as our photographer for both our engagement session and our wedding day. Gabby is PHENOMENAL! She is so friendly, sweet, and professional, and she makes the sessions feel fun and stress-free. She offered to carry out items for us to keep our pockets empty for photos, she was so knowledgeable about the area we did our engagement photos, she was able to help us pose in ways that looks so beautiful in pictures (which was especially helpful for us who never get our pictures taken!) she was even able to get our dog to cooperate in the pictures, which is no easy feat! On our wedding day, Gabby worked so quickly and got so many pictures done ahead of our timeline, so nothing was missed! She was everywhere with her camera, catching so many special moments I didn’t even realize she was capturing! I am so excited to see my full wedding set because everything that I’ve seen from the sneak peeks is stunning. We recommend the Kate Holt photography team for anyone looking for high-quality photos and an equally high-quality experience!!

Incredible work
We could not have asked for a better experience with Kate. She kept things fun and professional, knew how to keep the energy up for group photos, and absolutely nailed the lighting at our venue. I absolutely love our photos, especially getting them only 2 weeks after our wedding (perks of a March wedding). If you’re considering Kate and Dom, you can’t go wrong!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
