About

We are free spirited wedding photographers based (mostly) in New Hampshire/Southern Maine. We split our time, staying with family in Hawaii and Acadia National Park (Mount Desert Island) as well (lucky us!) Each season we take a select number of weddings (never more than one per weekend), working closely with couples whose weddings are a true reflection of their love for one another and unique, adventurous personalities. Whether it's going for a hike with the pups, meeting for coffee, or swapping travel tips, we are with you from the beginning so by wedding day it's like having additional friends in your corner. We promise fun, laughter and amazing photos capturing all the moments you didn't remember happening!

The Perfect Photographers

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have hired Kate and Keith to shoot our wedding and we are so happy we did! Both Kate and Keith were exceptional to work with as they took the time and put in the effort to better understand who my wife and I are and what we were looking for in our wedding. Neither of us are people clamoring to be in the spot light and incredibly they someone made following you around with a camera such a calm and seemingly natural event. This translated into all of our photos appearing so organic, which is exactly what we were hoping for. In addition, they went above and beyond during their time working with us: traveling for our engagement shoot, being incredible communicators, coming to the venue the night prior to shoot our welcome dinner, and pushing to send me early photos of my family for a birthday gift. All of their hard work, effort and skill translated into absolutely incredible and unique photos which my wife and I will forever cherish. Thank you Kate and Keith!

Curated Photography Experience

Kate and Keith were incredibly detailed from the beginning. At our first meeting we discussed our interests and relationship, and the types of photos we were looking for. The engagement shoot gave us a good opportunity to get meet them and get more comfortable in front of the camera. When it got closer to the wedding date Kate and Keith sent us a shot list, answered our many questions, and took a call with us a week before the wedding. Their cameras don't make a noise when shooting so you barely notice them. We chose them because of their experience photographing outdoor weddings and capturing candid moments from unique perspectives.

Amazing Photographers, Better People!

Kate & Keith were everything we could've hoped for and more. To call them our photographers doesn't seem fair, as they truly became friends over the last few years. From helping me plan a surprise proposal in Acadia, rescheduling our postponed wedding date with no questions asked, answering every question we had throughout the process, and taking the hike down to NJ for our wedding weekend, it's hard to imagine celebrating our special day without them. They are kind, funny, insightful, pay high attention to detail, and did everything in their power to not only capture the day in ways no other could, but help it flow as smoothly as possible. We are forever grateful!

Most incredible photographers and people

Kate and Keith are our heroes! These incredibly talented, kind, and hilarious photographers swooped in to save the (wedding) day when our original photographer had to cancel due to the ongoing pandemic. They were eager and ready to take on the challenge and perfectly captured the most magical day of our lives. From the moment we “met” them (virtually of course) we knew that it was meant to be. They were the perfect combination of calm and silly on the day of the wedding and somehow managed to get everyone where they needed to be to capture the photos we requested. It was the photos we didn’t even know about that truly blew us away. The small, but oh so important moments that they were able to capture will be cherished for many many years to come. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found Kate & Keith.

Incredible People, Photographers & Experience!

Congratulations on your engagement and now that that's out of the way... book Kate & Keith immediately. We were lucky enough to have them capture our wedding day this past New Years Eve and I don't even know where to start with praise & gratefulness... from the first time we spoke I knew we were going to love them and that they would be the perfect match for us. They agreed to come to Plymouth MA for our engagement pictures and it was such a fun day, they made us feel so comfortable when both of us actually felt super awkward. I cried when I saw the first picture they teased of the session. Their work is AMAZING! Flash forward to the wedding - Kate & Keith took the time to get information about our wedding, our families, what photos we wanted and even our favorite snacks to make sure we ate throughout the long day. Come wedding day I was pretty anxious getting my make up done, feeling a bit sick to my stomach with nerves and then I heard Kate & Keith's voices... when I saw them I immediately felt as ease. They were a true calming presence for me that day and throughout the planning process, both of them are such wonderful, happy, kind and incredible people it is hard not to feel settled around them. It was like having two of our friends with us at our first look, we didn't even really notice they were taking pictures. All of the sudden we heard our first dance song playing over the outdoor speakers of our venue. Kate & Keith had arranged with the venue to surprise us while we took our first look photos. It was such an amazing and sweet gesture, it just shows the type of people they are and how much they actually care about the couples they work with. We had a decent sized wedding party that included young kids and we also have a good number of family members. Kate & Keith were so professional and organized and took the time to care about every detail. With so many people and pictures the process can be a bit chaotic, Kate & Keith made the process painless and everyone agreed. Many people have asked for their information already so don't hesitate to contact them. Not only will you find fun, caring, amazing dog lovers, but you'll also find new friends. Aside from the absolutely perfect and stunning photo they took at Midnight, two of my other favorite photos from the day are pictures we have with Kate & Keith. After your wedding day you're left with memories and photos... I know our memories are perfect and I have no doubt our photos will capture the love and happiness we felt on that day perfectly as well. Thank you Kate, Keith and Kalee for being there with us every step of the way! You guys are AMAZING!!

Professional, clever, funny, and brilliant

When my husband and I met Kate and Keith via Skype, we introduced our dogs to each other. My husband and I mentioned how we weren't sure if we would be bringing our dog with us to Maine for the wedding due to some logistical issues. Before even finishing that thought, Kate and Keith told us they would happily dog-sit for us for as much of our trip as we might need. We knew such animal lovers needed to be part of our wedding.

We had a very small wedding of only 10 people, plus our officiant, plus Kate and Keith, all stuffed onto a bus for a trek through ANP. There were so many ways a group that small could have gone wrong, or been uncomfortable, but these two made our day perfect. I have read a lot of reviews where photographers are praised for not being "noticed"- but honestly, Kate and Keith were quite present which was incredibly welcome and just what we needed. They offered lots of advice for certain areas of the park to photograph, and since Steve and I weren't always sure of what to do, this was so valuable to us. It kept us on track of our timeline and gave us direction.

They were super flexible when it came up to the ceremony- Keith sort of leaded as we worked to find the best spot for our group that offered the best opportunity for photos. They were patient throughout many delays, and they were totally up for some crazy, hurried family photos as we raced sunset and huge winds. And then our bus broke down, and they documented that, too! Ah, memories. Through the whole process Kate and Keith greeted these inconveniences with humor and grace.

Post-wedding communication was timely, thorough, and accurate. Photos came exactly during the timeline they gave us.

And the photos themselves: Spectacular. It is clear why these two are considered among the best - because they are. The photos told a wonderful story of a wonderful day and caught our family perfectly. The "staged" photos, which were orders of magnitude more creative and beautiful than any I've ever seen, really captured my husband and I. And there were so many clever, funny, and heartwarming candid shots peppered in.

Steve and I were very, very lucky to get Kate and Keith to join us on our little big day, for their kindness, humor, professionalism and guidance.

Amazing people, better photographers!

Kate and Keith are both amazing people which makes them even better photographers. We hired them to photograph our October wedding almost two years in advance after a Skype call where we couldn’t get the video to work but just knew that they were the right people for us. The first time we met in person, we spent an hour talking over ice cream about everything except wedding photography and Kate and Keith felt like friends. They made us feel so comfortable taking photos and it didn’t ever feel posed or forced even when they were directing us to get a shot. Kate and Keith encouraged us to purchase a package that included them photographing our rehearsal dinner/bonfire and that was also a great suggestion as it allowed our friends and family to get to know them a little better before the wedding and they stayed out with us even though it got a little chilly out at the bonfire! On our wedding day, Kate and Keith were both incredibly helpful in making sure our day ran smoothly and helped keep us both calm and collected when some unplanned issues came up. Overall, I can’t recommend Kate and Keith enough!

Kate and Keith were absolutely amazing to work with! Their timely responsiveness and even compassion and understanding to the few monkey wrenches we found thrown into our planning, made them the best and we wanted to work with them. They didn't dissapoint! Their photographs were breathtaking and literally made me cry tears of joy! Such beauty in the chaos, especially the beauty captured to last forever, makes it all worth it. We couldn't have asked for a better couple to photograph our special day. Just love them! Thank you Kate and Keith, for being the wonderful people and amazing photographers, that you are! Much love to you both and thank you for being such a blessing to our special day and for sharing in our joy and capturing it maticulously and with grace from the other side of the lens<3 Many blessings, you beautiful people you.

One of the top three things that was important for our wedding was having beautiful pictures to remember the small moments of our wedding day for years to come! Kate & Keith have given us these memories and we are SO thankful! The down-to-earth duo are so easy to work with from our first coffee skype date to the Big Day! Kate became my calm reasoning voice in the stress and confusion of wedding planning and helped me put together a picture timeline which made life a whole lot easier. Even when plans changed and the timeline went out the door - Kate and Keith went with the flow and constantly reminded us that it was our day, and they were indeed here for us! We received our pictures before the date we were told which was exciting and we are officially obsessed! I am so glad that we decided to invest in our pictures and invest in Kate and Keith!

Where do I even begin to describe my love for Kate & Keith?? As individual people, a lovely couple, and kick-ass photographers, they are just the best! From our initial Skype interview with them, to our engagement shoot, to meet-ups when they were in Boston, and our wedding day in Waterville Valley this past August, they bring their own brand of fun and spirit and joy, which is reflected in the smiles on the face of everyone they meet and the beautiful photos they take. This is starting to sound really cheesy, but you honestly could not meet 2 more down-to-earth people, who also happen to be incredibly talented, to help you capture all the important moments of your engagement and wedding. I could not be more happy that we booked Kate and Keith, because we've not only got beautiful photos which captured the magic of our wedding day, but we've also got some new friends and hiking buddies for the future! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I absolutely love working with Kate & Keith (in fact, I'm disappointed that our paths haven't crossed this season). They have the ability to put couples & their wedding party at ease, and disappear into the background while taking AMAZING photos. I do over 30 weddings a year, as an officiant, and Kate & Keith's are just about my favorite photos from alllllll of those photographers. If you hire Kate & Keith, you're going to be high-fiving yourself all over the place. Do it. They ROCK.
