I wish I could award more than 5 stars!!!!
When planning our daughter’s May 2021 wedding, I don’t think I fully appreciated the importance of selecting the photographer who would be capturing the images of this most important occasion! But when the day arrived, I began to understand that there is so much more than just “taking pictures” of the bride, groom and the wedding itself. First and foremost, Kate Panza is an artist. She is incredibly talented and managed to catch the spirit of each moment, the heart of each individual photographed, as time seemed to race by on the wedding day. Her artist’s eye picked up the details, lighting and nuances that we might have missed. It’s been such fun to go back and see those images now that the wedding is a sweet memory. What I also learned is that Kate is incredibly organized and has the unique ability to stay on task, calm and focused when thousands of other details are unfolding. The schedule that she crafted with our wonderful wedding coordinator, Jessica Hernandez (Lovebird Lane Events), was both intentional and flexible. She made sure that our wishes were followed and we had time for all of the family photos as well. But probably the thing I will remember the most about Kate is her kindness. She is truly present, entering into the holiness of the moment as the wedding took place. Her work is her calling and it shows in the beautiful images that we will treasure for a lifetime. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Kate Panza Photography!

Kate Panza is one of the most humble and amazing individuals I've met in my entire life. The beauty of her photographs speaks for itself. She captures light, emotion, and details like no other photographer I have seen and this was my deciding factor in going with Kate. My now husband and I hired Kate in Spring 2018 after weeks of doing our research and knowing that photographs were very important for our wedding vision. Our wedding was planned for March 21, 2020. Unfortunately, we were the first wedding for Kate to be canceled in Texas due to COVID-19. That week our vision changed at least three times. There were so many tears shed, as to be imagined, but Kate was more than a professional photographer for us but our voice of reason and mentor. She spent so much time rearranging timelines, the wedding vision, and overall just being our top vendor bearing with us the entire week and for nearly a year after. Our wedding was moved to October 2020 and again to February 6, 2021. Kate did not have to do this, but she remained our photographer the entire time. I always felt like a priority with Kate and was treated with such kindness and respect at all times.
If you want beautiful photographs that are light, airy, and capture beautiful details, then YES, Kate is the photographer for you. If you more than a vendor who is passionate about her talents and captures the emotion of the most important day of your life, then YES YES, Kate is 110% the photographer for you.
We went with her for engagements, bridal portraits, and of course the wedding we were eventually able to have. Oh and brides, I completely recommend doing bridals. I was somewhat on the fence at times, but this was an opportunity to interact with Kate in my dress, increase confidence in my poses, and allowed us to have more flex time on wedding day because so many amazing shots were already taken ahead of time. Pro tip...do it all and go with Kate Panza Photography :)

Kate was the best to work with for engagement, bridal and wedding day pictures. She made our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be, highlighting our favorite parts of the day. She is extremely kind, encouraging and reassuring during the most exciting yet stressful time of your life. I can’t wait for her to photograph our little family as it grows. Even living in Houston, I would travel the distance to work with her again.
