A true white-glove experience with Kate and Gabby

We can’t recommend Kate Holt Photography enough! Kate and her associate photographer Gabby were absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding.

We initially selected Kate Holt Photography for their emphasis on natural light and posing, but in the end we were even more impressed by how easy it was to work with them! Kate’s professionalism was evident from the first zoom call - she is highly organized and efficient, but also took plenty of time to get to know us before helping us shape our vision of the day.

During our wedding, everyone felt comfortable around Gabby’s friendly and gentle demeanor. She is also a clear communicator who projected calm and confidence in helping us make on-the-fly adjustments to our photography schedule. If you end up choosing Kate Holt Photography for your wedding, you should definitely ask if Gabby is available!

The turnaround speed on our wedding photos was incredible - sneak peak photos within three days and the full gallery a week later. The photos are beautiful and captured the warm summer garden-party feel of our wedding perfectly. Thank you Kate and Gabby!

Epic Wedding Captured on Top of Mount Hood

From the very first virtual FaceTime meeting with Kate Holt, I absolutely knew she was the one! Not only did I instantly click with her bubbly personality, but also just adored her style of photo journalism and use of natural light. It was also a no brainer to add her husband, Dom, be a part of the photography team. Before my husband and I first met Kate for engagement photos, we were nervous because we had never done professional photos before. Kate immediately put us at ease and we laughed our way through an incredible engagement session. In the months leading up to the wedding, Kate was incredibly professional, putting together a photo timeline and doing several more FaceTime calls with us. By the time we were up at Silcox Hut for the wedding, my husband and I were both completely at ease and so excited to have Kate and Dom be part of our day! They captured our wedding beautifully, leaving both of us giddy when they delivered 100+ phenomenal “sneak peek” pictures within a week of our wedding date. Then, we were equally as giddy after receiving our full gallery within two months. We have been floored by the way Kate and Dom so perfectly captured our day in a way that was even better then we imagined! This is a sentiment echoed by all of our friends and family — even my youngest brother who asked if I thought the Kate Holt Photography team would be willing to capture his wedding when that date one day comes. I cannot say enough amazing things about Kate and Dom! We are so thankful to have had the privilege of working with them and cannot wait to look at these gorgeous photos for years to come!

Best Photographer Ever!

Kate did an outstanding job as our wedding photographer! She was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, was great at helping us pose for pictures, and we received a sneak peek of 200 edited photos from our wedding day within 48 hours of the event! We also set up a photo booth through her company and it was a huge hit with all our guests. Since our wedding, multiple of our friends/family have mentioned to us how lovely Kate was. She even helped us out with our wedding timeline and assisted the planner with setting up day-of. We can't recommend Kate enough as a wedding photographer, and can't wait to have her photograph our special events in the future!
