Katie from Kreate Photography was absolutely crucial in making our wedding day a success. From our first conversations, it was clear how much she cared about understanding our vision and capturing every moment that mattered to us. She was incredibly patient and supportive, and always made me feel understood and taken care of. Katie worked seamlessly with our planner to build a rain contingency plan for our fully outdoor venue, which ended up being put to the test when an atmospheric river rolled through Sebastopol on our wedding weekend. Even though we only got a few sprinkles during photos, Katie helped us make the most of those moments and kept everything fun, relaxed, and full of good energy. Her calm presence and great direction were a godsend! And the photos - wow. They turned out so beautifully and truly captured the joy and spirit of the day. We’ll cherish them forever. On top of everything, Katie embraced our non-traditional ideas like documenting our wedding jump house photos, which ended up being some of our favorites. She was creative, flexible, and genuinely excited to bring our ideas to life.

We’re so grateful we chose Katie as our photographer. She’s talented, thoughtful, and an absolute delight to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

We honestly can’t recommend Katie and the team at Kreate Photography enough. From the very first phone call, we connected through our personalities and our love stories, and I knew she was the one. In what can be such a stressful wedding planning experience, she immediately made me feel calm, secure, and truly supported, and I knew I needed her by my side on our wedding day.

From our engagement shoot through to the wedding day and final gallery, every part of her work has been an absolute masterpiece. Our photos were a perfect combination of unique, natural, portrait, and editorial, while being filled with genuine emotional moments between us and the people we love.

On the wedding day itself, she was so much more than just a photographer — she was a friend, an advocate, and a coordinator all in one. She made sure everything ran so smoothly, gracefully managing requests and navigating family dynamics, all while making sure every one of our photo dreams came true.

One of our favorite things was how effortlessly she captured everything — all the big and small moments — without us ever feeling like there was a camera in the room. Her presence was calm, kind, and incredibly professional, and it made such a difference to the entire experience. Because of her, we were able to truly relax, be present, and fully enjoy every moment of the day without stress.

Katie and her team at Kreate Photography are incredibly talented at what they do, and we feel so genuinely lucky to have had them be such an important part of our special day.

I worked with Katie from Kreate Photography as a DJ for a wedding at the Gloria Ferrer winery in Sonoma back in August of 2025. Katie was amazing to work with and I really appreciated her attention to detail and ways of working!

She was very easy to talk to, always organized, and made the couple feel super at-ease at all times. I would more than happily recommend Katie to any couple looking for photographers for their wedding or for any event in the future!

Katie was truly the best decision we made for our wedding day. Her passion for photography shines through in everything she does, and from the very beginning she made us feel completely comfortable and confident. She took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple and understand exactly what we wanted in a wedding photographer, which made the entire experience feel so personal. The week of the wedding, she handled any hiccups quickly and calmly, putting us totally at ease. On the day itself, her guidance was invaluable—she offered great input on how to get the best photos and helped us fine-tune our timeline to maximize lighting. We trusted her implicitly, and because of that, the day was seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our experience or our photos, and we recommend Katie wholeheartedly to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about their craft and their clients.

Katie and her team at Kreate Photography are delightful and exceptional! They were always respectful and kept us on track yet were never intrusive with candid shots. We were amazed at how many special moments they captured as we were often unaware of their presence. We couldn’t be happier with our family photos and the care they took to capture so many unique moments at our daughter’s wedding. Katie’s positive energy and superb organizing skills were a calming influence throughout the day. As mother of the bride, I appreciated Katie spending time to learn a bit about me and any needs and requests I might have. She answered all my questions and I felt so comfortable around her and her team. We are simply thrilled with our wedding album and highly recommend Katie and her team!

Katie from Kreate Photography did an amazing job capturing our wedding in Healdsburg. From the very beginning, she and her team were professional, attentive, and such a pleasure to work with. Katie has a fantastic eye for detail and managed to capture not only the big, important moments but also the little candid ones that really tell the story of the day.

The photos turned out beautifully—full of emotion, thoughtfully composed, and something we’ll cherish forever. I’m usually a bit camera-shy, but Katie made us feel completely at ease, and her calm, friendly energy helped everything feel natural. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and are so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.

If you want someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, Katie is absolutely the right choice. Highly recommend!

Sometimes you meet someone and instantly know you’ve found your person. That is exactly how I felt after my first conversation with Katie. She was quick, witty, and the perfect complement to my (equally type A) personality. After a few photographer interviews, I told my fiancé, “I’ve found the one.”

From our engagement shoot to our wedding weekend, Katie made everything feel effortless. She captured us so naturally, balancing precision and calmness with such ease. She is a true professional who managed to organize 40+ people for group shots without anyone feeling bossed around, all while keeping the mood light and fun.

Katie photographed our engagement session, a small family wedding, our welcome party, and our big day. Somehow, she brought the same incredible energy, excitement, and love to every single moment. She has a rare gift for blending into the background while still making everyone feel seen and comfortable. The photos are stunning, but more than that, they feel authentic to who we are.

She also connected us with our amazing videographer, Eli Contreras, and makeup artist, Marisa Perel, who were both incredible. We truly had a dream vendor team, and it all started with Katie. She is one of a kind, and I could not recommend her more highly.

I cannot say enough good things about Katie and the Kreate Photography team. Katie was the lead photographer at our wedding in San Francisco on 10/11/25, and she also shot our engagement photo shoot and rehearsal dinner. At our wedding, she had a second and third shooter join her as well.

With Katie and the Kreate team, the big things were dialed in and squared away with such professionalism and ease: Katie was diligent in planning the details of our wedding day - she worked to have an efficient shot list (my husband has a BIG Italian family), kept us on time and even ahead of schedule, and had a perfect plan for the entire day. She organized herself and her team to be as efficient as possible - shooting the bridesmaids and groomsmen at the same time, doing detail shots at the same time as couple shots, etc. Katie and her team have been in this industry for a long time and it shows – they knew exactly what to do and when to do it, and my husband and I didn’t have to stress at all about being in certain places or ensuring we got all the shots we wanted. My husband has a huge Italian family, and let me tell you, Katie’s work with our large, extended family photos was a thing of absolute beauty – she learned everyone’s names and had specific directions for each of them, including when and where they needed to be in family photos. We got done with 8 HUGE family photos (with upwards of 85 people in them all together) in 20 minutes, giving my husband and I a minute to ourselves before joining cocktail hour. It was truly amazing!

While Katie and the team have the big things dialed down, what really impressed me was the little things. During one of the photos with my husband, I realized my breath smelled– Katie reached into her bag and handed me a Listerine spray to take my anxiety away about it. When our 14-month old flower girl was crying during a photo, Katie’s second shooter Vanessa made silly faces to make her smile. When my husband I got anxious and overwhelmed with the chaos of the day, Katie guided us through a moment of taking a deep breath and just being together – something we didn’t realize we desperately needed.

One of the best things I can say about Katie is the comfort and positive attitude she brought to our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. We first met in person for our engagement shoot; my husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and have no idea what we're doing - we told Katie this, and she made us feel instantly comfortable at ease in front of the camera. She gave us natural movements to do along with our poses so that the photos came out more candid and truer to us. When it came to the rehearsal dinner, she captured the essence of the night beautifully without interrupting us or catching us in any unflattering moments (like eating or sneezing). And of course, we had felt so comfortable with her on our wedding day because of the relationship we’d built. Her team is just as vibrant and kind as she is, and so they made us feel right at home too for our special day!

And of course, the photos are absolutely amazing! The team is incredible at posing, capturing authentic moments, and editing. I also appreciated the easy-to-use website to view the photos and ability to order prints and photo books right from there!

Katie and her team will be more than a team of photographers for you – they will be your supporters, cheerleaders, therapists, and friends. Your photo team is who you spend the most time with at your wedding, so I knew I needed to be around a team that brought positivity and good energy, while still delivering an incredible product – and that’s exactly what Katie and the Kreate team did. I am eternally grateful to them and know we will continue to use them for future maternity and family photo shoots!

Katie and her team are outstanding at what they do! We were incredibly impressed at how detail oriented, energetically engaging and fun to be around on our wedding day. From our consultation to end of day wedding event, this team exceeded our expectations. They told our love story as we wanted it captured. We are forever grateful we chose them. And now we have everlasting photos.

Katie and her team are the BEST to work with. She was the first vendor we booked after our venue! Throughout the entire wedding planning process she was along to offer advice, support and go above and beyond for us. AND THE PHOTOS. We got our sneak peeks and swooned over how beautiful they came out. The team did an amazing job with capturing all the moments and editing them to be these elegant, timeless photos that we can’t wait to have displayed in our house forever. Thank you Kreate Photography for everything our day wouldn’t have been nearly as special without you! If you need a Bay Area wedding photographer, definitely give Kreate a chance, we are so happy we did!
