About

At Katie Martin Studios, I focus on elopements and small-scale weddings. Celebrations where the focus is on connection, not production. With 15 years of experience and award-winning work, I’m known for a calm, unobtrusive approach that helps couples feel at ease in front of the camera.

I believe the best images come from genuine moments—the quick glance, the inside joke, the emotion you can’t quite put into words. My editing style is timeless and true-to-life, so your images will look as beautiful decades from now as they do today.By getting to know what matters most to you, I can capture your day in a way that feels natural, timeless, and true to your story.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop or in your own backyard, my goal is to create photographs that help you relive the feeling of your wedding day for years to come.

Above and Beyond!!! FIRST Choice for all things Photography

Katie is not only the most talented photographer you can find, she is also an incredible person to work with, and to this day we can not stop raving about her and her work. We feel incredibly grateful to have found Katie, and know she will be OUR FIRST CHOICE for ALL THINGS photography related, throughout our life.

Katie is dedicated, hard working, compassionate, easy to get along with, and naturally goes above and beyond to make things incredibly special for her clients! My fiance and I used KB Designs for our engagement photos, had her scheduled to do our wedding, as well as I used her for my professional headshots.

Katie did an EXTRAORDINARY job on the engagement photo session, bringing to life the vision we discussed for an elegant and playful mountain shoot. Katie’s genuine hard-work, and dedication to her clients shined through as she was very patient with our various outfits, scenery changes, entertained our energetic pup, and effortlessly made the day memorable and relaxing, not to mention she drove out of her way to make this dream a reality. I really appreciated her commitment to the shoot and her energy that made us feel very comfortable the entire day. There has not been a day that goes by, over the past year, that I don’t admire the photos and memories from that day.

Due to COVID19, we had to reschedule our wedding, and the new dates available to us didn't work out with Katie’s schedule, and we were truly heartbroken she couldn’t be there to shoot the wedding and help us celebrate. Nonetheless, Katie reached out and offered her support and generosity during the challenging time for us, further showcasing her kindness.

After our engagement session, I quickly knew Katie would be our first choice for all things photography, and thus I also had her shoot my professional headshots. Katie was again very accommodating and knowledgeable during this process, helping with everything from the outfits, jewelry, backdrop, and posing. She quickly found all the right angles and gave the appropriate cues to help me accurately portray my personality through the photos, and I have gotten so many compliments on these photos.

Katie has a very bubbly, energetic, engaging and hard working personality. In addition, she is knowledgeable, eager to help, organized and timely. She is always very willing to help every step of the way, from picking out and coordinating outfits, to hair and makeup design, to fixing outfits and hair during, and even coaching through the shoot.

We could not recommend her enough and plan to continue using her!!! We are continuously GRATEFUL to have found her.

KB Digital Designs was the best choice I could have made for my wedding

Katie is by far the most amazing photographer EVER! My husband and I used her for our engagement pictures, boudoir, and our wedding photos and I would book her over and over again. I could not recommend her enough!!! Katie has the most bubbly, fun, engaging and exciting personality which will make your photo session even better! Katie is very punctual, organized, friendly, and helpful. Katie will help you every step of the way whether that be helping you to pick out your outfits, choosing details like jewelry, fixing your hair, and even tells you exactly how to pose to get the best pictures. Katie is the sweetest human ever and will hype you up during your photo sessions which is so important if you have a husband that has no idea how to take pictures! Her editing style is beautiful, timeless, airy, and classy. Not to mention she gets your pictures back to you VERY quickly! We got the sneak peak from our wedding back the NEXT day which was so very special for us! Katie's second shooter, Chris, is equally as fabulous! They are both so kind, funny, friendly, and just make you feel so comfortable! Between the two of them, you are guaranteed to receive pictures that you could only dream about. They capture all the right angles, get caught off guard moments, meaningful moments, etc! I can't believe I was as lucky as I was to book KB Digital Designs, I will forever be grateful for them both!

The best around

I don’t even know how to begin to show my appreciation and thankfulness to KB Digital Designs. On October 4 I married the love of my life. I had the most amazing experience working with Katie and her mom. Not only did she shoot our engagement pictures, I trusted them completely to capture pictures of the most important day of our life. Katie doesn’t just take pictures. She captures feeling and emotions in every single shot she takes. You may just see her as a photographer but she is SO much more... she will be right by your side on your big day making sure everything can go as smoothly as possible. Have people that aren’t photogenic/ “fake smile”? Don’t worry!! She will make them look amazing also. We decided to have two shooters for our special day, the amazing part of this was not only did Katie capture these amazing memories, feelings, and emotions, her mom also captured a completely different angle while still conveying the feelings and emotions in every single picture. I will recommend Katie a million times over. I will continue to use her as we go on in our life. I love her and the work she does!!! I assure you, you will never be disappointed when hiring KB Digital Designs for your important moments in life. ❤️

The best choice

Once you're engaged and have picked a date, they very first phone call you should make is to Katie of KB Digital Designs. I put my date on hold with our Venue and if Katie wasn't available on the date I had on hold, I was literally going to change the date and/or venue. She's just that good. Her style is light and airy, exactly what I envisioned for the photos that I have to remember my wedding day. An engagement session was included in the package that we chose and it was a perfect way for Katie to get to know us as a couple leading up to our big day. Throughout the months of wedding planning, Katie would always keep in touch and would even mail us sweet reminders leading up to our big day. She's so personable which makes for such a fun experience with even the most anti-photo takers out there (AKA, my husband). Now what really matters--turn around time for photos. Just a few weeks was all it took and all the photos were in my email. And to do you one better, she got me sneak peaks in 2 DAYS. 2 DAYS. That's exactly what a bride wants. Pick Katie. You'll have a lasting relationship with her and I bet she'll end up taking your family's photos for the rest of your life.

Photographer for Life. This girl saved my wedding!

If you are looking at Katie's reviews right now, wondering if you should make the jump into choosing her, stop, scroll back to the top, and book her. Now.
Katie has taken portraits of my family for eight years now, nearly since the beginning of her career. What an opportunity it has been to watch her grow and see her passion come alive. I have trusted Katie with my lifes' biggest moments, fourteen of them to be exact.

Katie has a natural talent for her craft and an imense drive to perfect it. Mix that with her amazingly bubbly, fun personality and your special day is in the best hands it could be.

Short back story about my wedding day, just to explain how amazing she is...
My wedding day was far from what I dreamt it to be. Nearly everything went wrong, a brides worst nightmare. We left our wedding night feeling feelings no bride or groom should feel...So naturally, I worried about what our portraits would look like. Knowing Katie for years and her talents, I knew things would somehow be okay.

I wasnt disappointed. Katie delivered. Thank GOD for this woman and her team. Because of her, I will have happy memories of my wedding day. Because of her, I can hang gorgeous portraits on my wall, and despite the stories behind them, I get to look at them with tears of joy in my eyes because she resurrected the memories I have on that day. Our portraits are gorgeous and everything I dreamed they would be and I am so so thankful I chose Katie!

Irreplaceable Photos & The Most Fun Personality!

I had the pleasure of meeting Katie a year and a half ago where she was photographing my sister's wedding. When I began to look for a photographer for my wedding a year later I looked around at other photographers but kept coming back to Katie's fun personality and beautiful pictures I had already experienced first hand. I booked Katie and asked if she'd be willing to take a hike in RMNP for our engagement photos to which she replied 'Heck Yes!'. She was a trooper to hike 5 miles with my fiancé and I, and was able to capture the most beautiful photos. Leading up to the wedding Katie sent us multiple sweet and thoughtful care packages which just added to our excitement to work with her again. On our wedding day, Katie and her mother, Chris, were professional, timely, and fun. They did an excellent job keeping to the timeline we had laid out for the day, and regardless of a few mishaps that happened, they remained unphased and handled everything perfectly. Katie did a great job of keeping me calm in moments of chaos, and her mother even allowed me to borrow her ring to wear during my ceremony as I was missing something blue! To top off a phenomenal experience I had working with Katie, the pictures of our wedding came back amazing. She was able to capture all of the spontaneous, silly, realness of the whole day while still getting all of the perfect "frame-able" photos that only her expertise could produce. I can't say enough good things about Katie and Chris and I highly recommend booking her services as your photographer!

Better than I could have ever imagined

My review is long overdue for Katie. Maybe its because I couldn't find the right words to explain how amazing, professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful she is. I knew that my wedding pictures were one, if not THE most important part of my wedding day. I had been researching wedding photographers for a couple of weeks and ran across KB Digital Designs. I went through her pictures and found that she had also photographed weddings and family portraits for people that I knew. She had the exact style that I wanted. I set up a meeting with her and from the moment she welcomed me into her house, I knew I couldn't or wouldn't settle for anyone but her. I left after that meeting completely at ease and so excited for my wedding! Katie was a friend throughout the entire process, helping me find a make up artist, florist, and even my wedding videographer! She also did my boudoir shoot (so fun) and made that entire process more relaxing as well. I will never use another photographer for any life even in the future and know that my friends and sisters will also never have to worry about their upcoming pictures as well. I can't thank or recommend her enough for all that she did!!

Yes yes yes

Katie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She and her mom (2nd shooter) produced incredible wedding photos for us-- Katie is super talented and has an eye to make seemingly ordinary backdrops look magical and flattering. She's professional, friendly, responsive, and made everyone feel super comfortable and relaxed. Thank you Katie!

I'm going to try not to make this post too long because I could go on and on about how wonderful Katie is. No surprise, Katie is an outstanding photographer. More importantly, she is an absolutely wonderful human being. Her work ethic, and photography style is far superior to her competitors. Our wedding photos came back within a couple of weeks and they are more than I ever could have hoped for. My advice to any bride: Wedding day goes by so fast. Your photos are proof of all of the things you missed and all of the beautiful memories you want to cherish forever. If you hire the right people, you dont have to worry about a thing. I'd recommend Katie in a heartbeat.

I was referred to Katie/KB Digital by my cousin who used Katie for her wedding...best referral ever! Working with Katie was seamless; she is so personable and fun to work with, communication with her was easy and transparent, and her work is impeccable. She did our engagement shoot, which was a great way to have a "trial run" of working with each other before the wedding day. The feelings of awkwardness and unsureness about having our pictures taken quickly subsided as Katie warmed us up, gave us encouraging feedback, and instructed us on how to pose. She was even willing to go up to Frisco (Summit County) with us for the shoot so we could capture our engagement photos in our favorite place! I also did a boudoir shoot with Katie, which was fun, empowering, and overall a great experience. I used the photos to make a book for my soon-to-be hubby that I gifted to him the night before the wedding as his fiance gift---he loves it! I am absolutely in love with our wedding photos. They are simply stunning, the color in them is gorgeous, and I am so grateful she and her second shooter (her mom, Kris) captured our day so perfectly. The cherry on the cake would have to be how quickly she gets your photos to you...our engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos were all edited and ready for us within 2 weeks!!!!! It was so nice not to have to wait a month or longer to get our beautiful photos! Overall, Katie is so wonderful to work with, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer, and I'd highly recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the opportunity to work with Katie on a wedding in California nearly two years ago. She was completely patient with my bride and her families photo requests and had an unbelievable eye that captured extreme detail. Her perspective on the day was absolutely perfect. Looking back on the pictures, I still am able to sigh, which is hard to do with most photographers work. I would recommend her over and over with out question. She is truly fantastic.
