Katie has such a knack to capture emotion through her photos. Excellent service, thought about things I didn't consider and was so flexible with my family. You will be overjoyed with your photos - like we were!

If you are a California bride or groom looking for a talented photographer for your wedding, please stop your research and look no further than Katie Jackson. Trust me - I've done my own research and interviews with around 4-5 photographers, and I'm so so happy I went with Katie (who also came highly recommended from a few friends). I purchased the wedding package from Katie that included an engagement shoot (which we did in beautiful Malibu) and our wedding day, and I added additional hours for 10-hour coverage. I would describe her style as light and classic - you can tell her photography is not "trendy" and will be timeless as you refer back to the photos over during the course of your marriage.

The reason I would recommend Katie is not only her exceptional photography skills, but because of her personality and her ability to direct the couple. I never realized how important the personality of a photographer is on your wedding day. It makes sense because you're spending the entire day with her! I have never gotten my photograph taken professionally, and she made my husband and I feel so at ease during our engagement session. She told us exactly how to pose, walk, look at each other - and we NEEDED that guidance or else we would have looked hopeless. The photos were so romantic and candid. Because we did the engagement session, I was already so comfortable with her on my wedding day and felt like I was being photographed by a friend. She was incredible on the day of the wedding with herding my family members and keeping us all on schedule. My parents and in-laws were so impressed with her. I know I will be reaching out to Katie to help me with holiday cards and professional headshots in the future. Thank you so much, Katie!

Due to COVID, my Dec. 2020 wedding was rescheduled multiple times, and Katie has been nothing but accommodating and so understanding and helpful. COVID also hit at the time that we were scheduling our engagement shoot with Katie, so that also required multiple reschedules as well. Needless to say, she was such a kind and patient soul through every situation, even emailing me helpful information about how to get COVID tests in the area, etc! She truly goes above and beyond!

I had initially reached out to Katie to ask about her availability and when I mentioned our venue and date, she responded with the most detailed, thoughtful, and professional email I've ever received, not just in this wedding planning process but even in my professional life! She suggested a detailed timeline for the day for the best hours in the sun we could get, with graphs and everything! And this was before we even hired her, let alone talked on the phone!

She is so sweet and personable - just the kind of person you'd want as a friend, and especially someone you'd want around you on your special day. We ended up having a small COVID-friendly backyard wedding and will be doing the bigger celebration later, but she went all out for our mini-wedding and truly made us feel like she wanted to be there and help us out as much as possible. She is also a super skilled photographer and managed to make us look beautiful and very natural, when we are normally not very comfortable in front of the camera!

We cannot wait to see her again for our bigger wedding! Katie's prices are worth every penny - you are paying for her talent, but also her professional skill and true care into your special day.
