So amazing !

We couldn’t be happier with Kate as our wedding photographer! She did an absolutely amazing job capturing our special day in Yosemite. From the heartfelt moments during the ceremony to the pure joy on the dance floor, every photo was stunning. Kate has a real talent for candid shots, perfectly capturing the love and emotions of the day without us even noticing the camera was there.

Not only did she document our wedding beautifully, but she also joined us for an incredible adventure shoot the next day. The photos from that session are breathtaking and truly reflect our love and the awe-inspiring beauty of Yosemite.

Kate was so easy to get along with and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft made the experience unforgettable. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Highly recommend!

The best in the biz!

I cannot say enough good things about the amazing experience of working with Kate! My fiancé were engaged in October of 2020 and spent 3 long years dragging our butts in the planning process. The only thing we knew is that we wanted to get married in the sierras near Yosemite, a very special place to the both of us throughout our relationship. The first thing I wanted to lock down was a photographer to capture the beauty of this special place. I spent months researching area specific photographers and Kate’s name kept coming up. Diving into her portfolio I fell in love with her candid style and intimacy that came through in her shots. I knew we had to work with her. As luck would have it, a spot became available and she accepted our date!!

Our first meeting was for our engagement shoot. My fiancé and I were both so nervous about being in front of the camera (we both a little awkward and we had never had professional shots taken before). Within the first minute of meeting Kate, all our anxiety dissipated and we ended up having the most fun and amazing morning shooting in the freezing cold overlooking half dome.

Kate was an unmatched guide throughout the whole wedding planning process, recommending amazing vendors (many of which we ended up going with) and helping set up a minute by minute timeline. She’s the whole package!!

She was such a calm and supportive presence on the actual wedding day. Her vision is simple, clean, and touching. She captured intimate moments with family members and guests. I can’t say enough good things about working with Kate! We love her and plan to hit her up for the next big milestone we want captured :) not to mention her insanely fast turn around with the shots!!!

We love you Kate! Thank you for everything. You really are THE BEST! Xox :)
