A wonderful photographer and person

Kathy is amazing!!! We reached out to her when our original photographer bailed on us as we tried to switch gears to an elopement and postpone our original wedding due to Covid. Kathy is so friendly and immediately put us at ease. She helped us organize our elopement and scout locations in DC. She also included an engagement shoot in Ellicott City (where my husband and I met) when she found out we never had one. Her demeanor, kindness, and talent are so wonderful that we also booked her for our postponed wedding this past weekend. She helped calm my nerves when I was freaking out due to traffic from the Secret Service closing streets as we were returning from first look portraits (typical DC), quickly took over in making sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule, and corralled both our families. Not to mention her amazing photography skills. She did so much more than we ever thought possible, including killing a stink bug in my bouquet. We love Kathy so much and cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

Kathy is the BEST!

Kathy, more than any one of our other vendors, went well above and beyond what I would expect from a photographer. We didn't have a formal wedding planner/coordinator, so she helped us come up with our whole day schedule. When COVID hit, Kathy proactively reached out to ask how we were doing and helped us re-plan the wedding following a year-long postponement. She was helpful the entire way through, and our photographs are INCREDIBLE. She was so friendly during the wedding, yet completely un-intrusive. She managed to capture activities all around the house the entire day. We're so grateful for Kathy's help through all of it.

Kathy is a delightful magician of a photographer

Cannot say enough good things about Kathy!!! We stumbled across Kathy's photography when we were browsing wedding venues, and though she was a bit outside the price range we had hoped for we fell in love with her work...and we're so grateful we bit the bullet on price! We had originally scheduled our wedding for June 2020, but because of COVID changed it to a small family-only backyard event in September 2020. Kathy was phenomenal every step of the way. She took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple well before the wedding, was immensely supportive as COVID upended our initial plans, and was flexible to change her timeline as we adjusted our date and run-of-show. We didn't have a wedding planner, but Kathy has so much experience with weddings and offers such great advice that we felt like we did. The day of the event she made us feel safe (even despite the pandemic), relaxed, and happy. She knocked our family photos out and focused in on the fun stuff—and doing a photo shoot with Kathy really is fun! She makes you laugh while she's shooting you, and she somehow manages to capture all of your best moments without ever feeling invasive. And the photos themselves...wow. Just take a look through her gallery and know that your photos *will* be that good. Plus she turned ours around in less than three weeks! If Kathy has availability for your date, book her immediately.
