So talented and personable!

Kate was absolutely incredible! From our initial conversation I knew she was who we were going to hire, she's so bubbly and personable and made us feel so comfortable leading up to and during our wedding day. I would describe us as awkward when it comes to taking photos but Kate helped us pose, told us where to put our hands and actually made us laugh in candid photos instead of fake laughing. The photos came out SO beautiful and natural I could not be happier with the results. She captured everything we asked and more. Thank you Kate and Shannon!

Wedding Photographer

I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Kate for our wedding day. I knew from the moment we met her for our engagement photos she was going to be absolutely perfect for our wedding. Kate is so caring, fun, and energetic which comes through in all her photos. I would highly recommend Kate for a wedding photographer!

A dream to work with and tons of beautiful photos!

Kate was an absolute dream to work with. She's so sweet and encouraging, which was so appreciated during the stressful planning stage! She asked lots of questions so that she could capture what was most meaningful to us, and absolutely delivered on that with tons of amazing photos. On our wedding day she managed to capture so many wonderful moments without being at all intrusive. I didn't want the whole day to feel like one big photo shoot and it definitely didn't. Even my camera shy husband said he had a great time because Kate was so sweet and fun! Highly, highly recommend working with Kate.

Kate was GREAT!

Working with Kate was absolutely great! She was very receptive to our needs and wants; we were a hectic group that was hard to gather everyone together, but she certainly made it work. Upon immediately meeting her, I was at ease with her friendly, bubbly personality; she made it very easy for us to be ourselves as a couple. Another thing I appreciated was her punctuality. I only had 4 hours with her, and she was sure to not waste a minute. I would highly recommend hiring Kate as your photographer! Absolutely wonderful experience.

Couldn't have asked for better!

Kate was AMAZING! Working with someone out of town can be extremely difficult, but she made us feel so comfortable and perfectly understood our vision. She even drove TWO HOURS to come to us for our engagement photos! Our photos are beautiful and something we will always cherish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Kate did our engagement and wedding photos. As someone who is not entirely comfortable in front of the camera, Kate put me at ease right away. She is great to work with and I love her ideas for unique photos!

I can't recommend Kate enough! She was so excited to work with what we wanted and made great suggestions. My husband was somewhat hesitant to spend money on really nice professional photography, but after he saw our photos, he admitted it was well worth it! Everyone has said what a great job Kate did.

We loved working with Kate for our wedding photos! She was very responsive to all our questions before and after our wedding. Her sense of humor and laugh are disarming and helped us just be ourselves and relax in front of the camera. We loved her style and eye for catching unique and meaningful shots. Our biggest struggle was picking which pictures to hang up because she took so many wonderful pictures on our wedding day! We are very grateful to be able to have such beautiful pictures to remember our wedding! Thanks, Kate!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
