Katie is so much more than just a photographer.

She went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Katie was willing to adapt to the constant change of wedding plans due to COVID-19, all with a smile on her face. She did it all on my wedding day, from fixing my dress and veil every few minutes, helped us stay on track throughout the day, and spent extra time with my husband and I to get the perfect photos. Katie instantly made me feel at ease on my wedding day, and I appreciate all she did to make it the best day. Though she made us feel comfortable, she also got us out of our comfort zone which created the BEST pictures. She even went out of her way to climb on top of the venue stairs to get some magical shots. ;)

Thank you Katie!! We will cherish our photos forever.

Adventurous, caring, talented

"for the adventurous lovers" is the perfect way to describe Katherine Ilona Photography. Katie went above and beyond to help me plan my Arizona adventure engagement pictures. I am BEYOND words with how incredible the pictures turned out. Katie has such a special way of making us feel comfortable in front of her lens. She listened to what my dream photos were in each location and made sure we were able to capture them along with ones she envisioned. They all came out amazing and I have had endless compliments about them. Katie found out she has a little blessing on the way and she still powered through and hike mountains to make my engagement dreams come true! She is a Five star photographer and a Five star human!!!! You will not regret booking her to capture this special moment in time!! Thank you again Katie!!!!

Dream photographer!

Katie is an absolute dream photographer. She knows exactly what shots to capture. She kept our day on track and went above and beyond the duties of a photographer. I heard from every person in my wedding party and family how great she was - just confirming what I already knew! Thank you, Katie!

A Wonderful Experience!

Katie was so wonderful to work with and provided beautiful photographs for my engagement photos and wedding! She masterfully handled our crazy wedding party and went above and beyond to stay in touch throughout the entire wedding planning process! She was even emailing and checking in with me THE WEEK OF HER OWN WEDDING! I would highly recommend Katherine Ilona Photography to anyone seeking photography services for their wedding!

This girl!

Neither I nor my husband have ever worked with a professional photographer before so we didn’t know what to expect. We asked if we could meet her for coffee to go over details and questions we had before we signed anything and we both fell in love. You can’t get a more personable and passionate photographer who will put their soul into your photos than this girl right here. We booked her for our engagement and wedding photos and every single photo is beautiful. she made the sessions super fun and tells you exactly what to do. Especially on our wedding day, I was so concerned about being away from family and friends (because everyone knows pictures can take forever at a wedding) Katie knew this and made sure we captured as many as we could before the ceremony and the only stole the bride and groom for 45 minutes and of course captured the most intimate moments. It was one of my favorite parts of our day. Bottom line, Katie is amazing and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture the most important time of our lives.

Friendly, Fun, Talented Photographer!

Katie is amazing! We could not have enjoyed our session with her more. We felt she truly captured our joy and happiness and we will treasure our photos. Katie felt like a long lost friend and she had us laughing and smiling non-stop. I would highly recommend her for any big life event you would like to document, from an engagement to wedding, to couples sessions or pregnancy announcement - event family portraits! She was a delight and a true talent and we will definitely work with her again.

So much more than just a photographer!

Katie is incredible! I was truly in awe of the photos that she was able to capture from our wedding day. Within 12 hours of the wedding, she hadn't slept so that she could send me some sneak peak photos of our day. I must have looked through those same five photos 20 times during my flight the next day. I am still amazed how she truly captured our moment in those photos; she has so much talent and vision for the photographs. The energy that she brings and the effort that she puts into making your day unforgettable is unlike everyone I've ever met. From bustling up my dress twice in the middle of the reception to giving me her sweater between photos in the snow to warm up, she truly is so much more than a photographer. She helped make our wedding day so special, and I know that the photos that she captured will be ones that we cherish for many years to come.

Our Wedding

From the very beginning stages of our wedding planning, it was evident that she had a passion for photography and capturing big moments in the lives of others. She was there every step of the way in the process, and was more than flexible to make sure she got everything just right. The day of the wedding, she took time to capture moments I had specifically requested, and her work is nothing short of intimate, personal, and full of love. I am in awe of my wedding photos, and know I have a friend to reach out to for photography needs anytime!!
