Katie Figura Photography

Katie traveled to our wedding in Virginia and we are SO thankful that she did! Her photos are beautiful and capture the spirit and energy of the day in a truly authentic way. We sincerely appreciated her focus on capturing candid moments rather than trying to force or recreate it just for the picture. In addition to the quality of the photos, she has an excellent presence on the day of that is key when the nerves kick in! Multiple members of our wedding party made the observation that she had a great energy. I cannot recommend Katie more!!

When we were looking for photographers, we were very intentional about finding someone who could tell a story with their pictures - someone whose portfolio showed they could do more than just take posed pictures. With every album we saw of Katies, we felt like we were able to feel the essence of what that day must've felt like. After talking to Katie on the phone (which felt like I was talking to a friend I knew my whole life), we didn't think twice about hiring her to shoot our wedding in Vermont.

Katie did our engagement photos, as well, taking us on an adventure along the Vermont countryside in the late summer. She didn't bat an eye when we asked if we could include our two, crazy, energetic labradors in the photos, and when we started to get stressed that they were too much, her energy brought us back down to earth, reminding us, without even saying a word, that that was all part of the fun.

Katie is so intentional about making sure the love of the day is captured. We LOVE looking through our album and seeing the smiles on all of our guests faces, and the candid moments that Katie captured. Katie has a way of making you and everyone around you feel so special, and that absolutely shows through her photography.

Other than her BEAUTIFUL, natural photos, we were so thankful to Katie for helping our day run smoothly. We felt like she was able to help make our day flow and was so supportive through it all. Even during her third trimester of pregnancy, Katie stuck it out with us to the very end to make sure she captured all of our fun dance party pictures. Those pictures turned out to be some of our favorites.

If we could, we would have Katie take all of our photos for the rest of our lives. She is the best in so many ways, and we will cherish our photos forever.

Katie did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing the greatest day of our lives. We were and are blown away by how good the photos look. She is a truly talented photographer and we could not be more pleased with how she went the extra mile every step of the way.

Furthermore, she made the actual process of photo taking enjoyable. From the groom: “I was dreading standing in a row with interchanging family and friends for an hour, but Katie’s sense of humor and willingness to put up with me making constant fun of everything was a delightful way to mitigate my inability to stand still for more than 8 seconds. She helped make the only part of the night I wasn’t excited for exciting.”

Icing on the cake: she got us the first set of photos insanely fast and then the entire portfolio of photos in record time soon after. Super impressive and the pictures are stunning.

All in all: 5/5 stars - would get married again

We feel so lucky to have had Katie as our photographer. After seeing her in action at a friend's wedding, I knew that she'd be the first vendor we'd book! We actually checked with her availability before booking our venue - that's how much we wanted to her to be part of our wedding.

She's incredibly thoughtful in her approach and made sure that our identities were represented in the photographs. Her talent is undeniable - just skim through her photos and you'll see her gift for capturing the essence of individuals & events. I'd recommend Katie, without hesitation, to anyone looking for a high quality human who is very good at her job!

I cannot say enough good things about Katie Figura. Katie was incredibly professional, with a website that makes her services/packages easy to understand and a questionnaire to get to know you and your partner. She was always very quick to respond to emails and texts with any questions I had. She spent time on the phone with me discussing the details of the wedding day and even helped me structure the schedule of the day (honestly she could double as a wedding planner/day of coordinator!!). She asked thoughtful questions about my partner and I to get to know us and what our hopes were for our wedding to help capture the special day. And that she did! Katie magically made her way around the ceremony and venue in the most graceful way, snapping absolutely gorgeous shots with her incredible talent. I shouldn’t leave out the fact that she didn’t hesitate to jump on a boat for our first look and hike to the bottom of a waterfall sharing a few quiet moments with us before the ceremony for a photo shoot that could not have felt more natural and true to my partner and I. Her presence and energy was perfect. She is an absolute gem, and we are so grateful to have her beautiful photos to remember our special day! Thank you Katie!!

Katie's work was EASILY the best value in our wedding budget. She took one of my favorite photos of myself at a friend's huge wedding years ago, so I was thrilled to be able to hire her for my own microwedding. I think that's indicative of the range of beauty she captures and creates, not just of the people getting married but of all the loved ones and places around them. She's friendly and unobtrusive, so even people who usually don't like getting their photos taken feel comfortable (and look like supermodels, obvi). Her images feel genuinely intimate: they capture moments you were part of but forgot about, or between your guests that you as the bride/groom/whatever would have missed, as well as those magazine-cover posed images of yourself and your partner that will be on your wall forever. She has an amazing eye and her composition is just gorgeous. She's flexible, knowledgeable, communicative and professional. In short, Katie is a rockstar and a privilege to work with. I can't wait to be able to hire her again someday (fingers crossed)!

I heard about Katie's photography through word of mouth/friends. The minute I saw her work, I was completely obsessed. Its unique, in the moment, lively, and exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I just wanted someone to be able to keep up, and catch us at our favorite moments without having to stop and pose. I know I am going to look back at my pictures 10 years from now and see exactly how much that day meant to me through the pictures she took.

We had a destination wedding in New Orleans and found Katie Figura by luck. Not only did we find an amazing photographer but we feel like we made a friend in the process. Katie was a ninja. We never even knew she was there yet she captured everything we asked in the most beautiful ways. I am an introvert who was not too excited about the picture taking part of it all, but Katie made us completely comfortable. She was a pro. She listened to our requests and suggested some very good additional photos that turned out to be some of our favorites. She was so easy to work with and a great communicator. On top of that, she was just a cool laid back person. She also had a lot of connections in Nola and was able to help us out with some last min pedicab needs.
All and all, we loved our photos. I mean, loved them! She was great to work with and responsive to questions. Definitely recommend!

My family has been using Katie as our photographer for weddings for the past couple of years. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, coming from 2 people who are not very comfortable getting their photos taken. She has a special talent for capturing the exact mood and feel of the moment. I am able to look back at all of the weddings she has shot for my family, including my own, and remember exactly what it felt like to be there. It is truly special to have these beautiful photos to look back on for the rest of our lives. She is able to work around challenging lighting and has an eye for what locations are the best to shoot at. Aside from her talent, she is warm, accepting and easygoing. We would recommend her to anyone!

It is honestly hard to express how glad we are that we went with Katie to photograph our wedding--she was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end.
I was super impressed with her photos on WeddingWire. We reached out to her, and she got back with us really quickly. We were able to chat with her over coffee within that week, prior to booking her, which was really great because we got to know her a little better and we just really vibed with her! Katie is a wonderful person, super skilled, and has a really great go-with-the-flow nature to her. It was really important to us that we had a photographer who we would feel super comfortable and have fun with, and Katie was definitely that! Katie was great with communication and very flexible. We had four different locations that we photographed at on our wedding day, and she pulled it all off so well. Another big thing for us was budget/affordability, and Katie's rates are unbelievable for the quality of photographs you will get.
Wedding planning can feel crazy and stressful, but Katie definitely put us at ease! We also loved that she sent us a bunch of "sneak peek" photos the day after the wedding, which was great to get to post to our social media that weekend.
Katie is definitely who you want to go with!

Katie is amazing!! I am so happy I found her and decided to have her capture our special day :) She is an extremely talented individual and very sweet & personable. We hired her to capture 10 hours of our special day, and she did not disappoint. We did an entire shoot through the French Quarter before the ceremony and it was magical. Our guests loved her so much they chanted her name as she was leaving for the evening. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants every special moment captured! She has such a great eye for detail. Thank you for everything Katie!!

We could not possibly have been more thrilled with our wedding photos from Katie Figura! The entire process from start to finish was 5 star! We knew from the moment we saw Katie's portfolio that she was the one we wanted documenting our special day, and when we had the phone intro with her we were positive. Katie was fun and relaxed throughout the process leading up to the wedding, which was a huge relief during chaotic wedding planning. On the actual wedding day is was a blast to see Katie in action, as her passion for photography was on full display. When we got our first look at the photos, we were blown away! We had a mid-fall wedding in Vermont with peak foliage, and Katie totally nailed it! Her use of natural lighting was masterful. Katie's style of documenting the festivities in action was perfect, and anyone who wasn't able to join us can totally experience the vibe of the wedding through the pics. The portrait photos came out spectacular as well. In fact our favorite photos are of poses Katie suggested. The turnaround on the photos was fast. We had our sneak peak the day after the wedding, and the full album in just a couple of months. We can't possibly give Katie Figura a stronger recommendation. We hope you are lucky enough to book her for your wedding!!

From the get go Katie made my husband and I feel very comfortable that photography was something we could stop thinking about because it was in her capable hands. The sneak preview was delivered quickly and contained an amazing mix. Final photography was as promised, well organized with an array of shots, styles and treatments. We had some minor requests for Katie and she was very quick to respond and helpful. Highly recommend, a 10.

Katie’s photos are absolute magic. Katie is able to capture such genuine emotion. Every time I look through our album I can just feel all the love, happiness, and silliness of that day. Katie was so easy to work with, and all of our guests just adored her and her photos.

Katie was amazing from our first phone call right through our wedding and she even got us sneak peek photos the day after our wedding. She was thoughtful and engaging throughout our engagement shoot and was so wonderful on our wedding day. She patiently captured all of our family photos (and there were a lot), couple photos, and got some phenomenal candida throughout the day. Her photos are beautiful and full of life and she is a pleasure to work with!
