About

I am inspired by love, fresh air, the way the world turns to gold that last hour before sunset, sun showers, watching a groom's reaction as he sees his bride for the first time. Honestly, I'm inspired by life and everything that goes with it - the ups, the downs, and all of the in-betweens.

In photography, it is my goal to portray people the way they are. I want to get to know the people I work with. Rather than just snapping photos, I want to find out where you grew up and how you met. I want you to be able to trust me with the important task of capturing your big day in an artistic, and unique way.

Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person in the world to get to do what I love, and work with the happiest, greatest people (seriously, I have to pinch myself on occasion). If you think we could be a good fit, please feel free to contact me at my email - katie@katiericard.com. I would absolutely love to hear from you.

I am available for weddings and portrait sessions in Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas, as well as Chicago. Also 100% open to traveling anywhere you want to send me!

Katie Ricard is a real pro

Katie was the perfect photographer for our special day. I highly recommend working with her. She was organized, timely and a pleasure to work with. We had a last minute change and needed to add video to our package and Katie was accommodating and transparent. She handled everything and it worked out beautifully. Her style is beautiful and she helped us look incredible throughout the day. I hope we can work together in the future!

Most gorgeous photos in the world!

Could not recommend Katie more! I had known for years I wanted her to shoot our wedding and she traveled to Chicago without a single problem for us! She was super responsive and communicative, she was helpful in the pre-planning stages (like helping me figure out a wedding day timeline!), and she was great on the day of our wedding. She worked well in tandem with our wedding coordinator and I never felt like I had to tell her anything; she was on top of it all! She gives great direction and also captures those candid moments that you love. Her photos are drop-dead gorgeous and she turned around the most stunning little "sneak peek" gallery right away after the wedding. I haven't been able to stop looking at our photos! 20/10!!!

Amazing Photographer!!!

Katie was absolutely amazing! All our photos were phenomenal! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer. We felt super comfortable having our intimate ceremony photographed by her, as well as having our photos taken after. She had us do a variety of great poses and chose the perfect background areas. Katie was super great with communication as well as offering suggestions for the location of our elopement, backup plans in case of inclement weather, etc. We are so glad we went with Katie and would 100% recommend her to anyone else

We have had the pleasure of working with Katie on various events and from the first 30 seconds that we met her (camera covering her face), we knew she was an AMAZING photographer. We always wonder how so many of our couples can spend a great deal having us design exquisite lush centerpieces and photographers tend to graze over the tables and room. Katie, literally, headed directly to each centerpiece knowing that there was more than one look. She went close to the floral pieces then further away then room shots. I knew the way she approached each capture that it would be great but each time we have been sent photos we are truly blown away by her work. Katie is a great person to work with, a wonderful personality and really takes her job very seriously. She wants to ensure that she captures everything that she can and does it beautifully. We definitely recommend Katie as one of our favorite photographers and are excited when we hear she will be the photographer at a special event. Katie, thank you for always making our jobs a bit easier! Your work speaks for itself! :)
