If you're taking photos in Yosemite, you HAVE to choose Kate. From the beginning, Kate was quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had about our engagement photo shoot. Even leading up to the photo shoot, she would follow up with us to make sure we were in the loop about the logistics of our shoot.

On the day of, Kate knew all the best spots to shoot in Yosemite. She made us feel comfortable the entire time during the shoot, and embraced our goofiness. Not only did our pictures turn out beautiful, but she also exceeded our expectations and sent us our pictures quicker than the promised turn-around time.

Thank you, Kate, for such a fun experience and memories we can look back to forever!

Kate photographed our June 2023 Evergreen Lodge Yosemite Wedding, as well as a sunrise photo session the day before our wedding in Yosemite National Park.

We could not have had a better experience with Kate, and are so grateful not only for the gorgeous photos she took, but for adding to the overall experience of our wedding in such a positive way.

We have the best memories of waking up super early and meeting in park for sunrise photos and being guided to all the cool spots. Glacier Point wasn't open yet, but we traveled from Tunnel View through the Valley and took advantage of the morning light and epic waterfalls. Kate took us to many secret spots and hidden gems, as she has tons of experience in the park and knows where to navigate. She made us feel so comfortable, especially my partner who had never done a photoshoot before.

On our wedding day, we went to the most beautiful wildflower-filled meadow which Kate spotted on her way in for our first look. I will never forget how it felt to be in that moment with my partner in the sunshine surrounded by the cutest unique flowers and all the bug friends we made :)

Kate also got all the moments we could have wanted captured, from our getting ready time, to the ceremony and reception - our friends, our family, the reception setup and flowers, everything was so artistically captured. She really was able to amazingly blend in the background and pop up at just the right moments.

Kate is an absolute pro at observing, navigating different personalities and energies, finding solutions and adjusting as needed, getting photos done in a timely matter, photo editing, and adding calming and peaceful vibes to your wedding day. We felt totally at ease whenever we had to pose for photos either by ourselves or with our family, and she just made it a great experience overall.

We absolutely fell in love with our wedding photos which we got in a very timely manner and are so stoked to have the memories and works of art to look at for the rest of our lives to come. If you're looking for someone smart, reliable, talented, and kind, look no further than Kate Michelle Photography - We highly recommend her!

I can't express enough how great Kate is! I would hire her again in an instant! She knows Yosemite so well. It made both our engagement and wedding photos truly pieces of art. I'm amazed by her thoughtfulness, professionalism, and overall great personality. It was so much fun working with her. And on the day of the wedding, she was in no way intrusive - all of my guests complimented her! I will truly treasure my photos forever. Would hire again in an instant!
