Ashley W. Sent on 01/16/2024Best photography team!
Wedding photographers are arguably the *most important* vendor of your wedding. Why? They keep you on time throughout the day, corral your family and friends and they take your pictures! It is literally how you re-live the day. When hiring a photography team, you HAVE to make sure they understand your vision.
Kat and Mike understood the assignment. We thought our engagement photos were beautiful (THEY ARE) so I didn’t think it was possible to top that shoot. Holy hell was I wrong. We are blown away by how absolutely stunning our wedding photos are. I’ve looked at them at least once a day since we got our sneak peek back. The angles, the lighting, the vibe, everything about them is just so on point. We could not be happier!
Kat and Mike are artistic geniuses.. and they’re really freakin fun!! They are like old friends - the kind you love catching up with and the kind who are not afraid to kick out your wedding crashers without you even asking.
The photos speak for themselves. Hire created coastal. -

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Created Coastal Photography. Kat and Mike were an exceptional pair to work with: professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, warm, proactive, and expert at their craft. Arriving on-site for our first look, I was a bundle of nerves. Kat's gentle leadership in keeping tabs on me, my partner, our families, and wedding party in that moment and throughout the night was incredibly helpful. She and Mike captured a number of special moments throughout the day for my partner, myself, and our loved ones. They coordinated with our other vendors and stepped in as needed to keep the evening flowing smoothly. They went above and beyond. On top of that, the quality of their work speaks for itself. I will be the first to tell you that I've never felt photogenic. Despite that, I feel so beautiful beside my loved ones in the organic moments they captured, and the images reflect the love and magic we felt throughout the day. When thinking about the logistics of the wedding, working with Created Coastal Photography was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made. I'll add that as a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary, we felt respected, safe, and at ease throughout our entire experience with Kat and Mike. I hope to work with them again in the future! -

Best Photographers Ever
Kat and Mike were truly exceptional! From the start, they were the ones that kept our wedding day moving along so smoothly, handling last-minute changes due to the weather with both guidance and calmness.
They perfectly embraced the intimate vibe of our day and provided guidance whenever we needed it. They made us super comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process from our first chats to the actual wedding day.
Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that every moment, big and small, was beautifully captured. The photos are all stunning, our walls are covered with pictures already.
Without hesitation, we would recommend this duo to anyone looking for fantastic photographers. They went above and beyond in every way possible.

Kat and Mike did such a phenomenal job capturing our dream engagement shoot. We really liked meeting Kat over FaceTime, which added a personal touch compared the the couple other consultations we had. We knew that Created Coastal would be the right fit after our first call and reviewing example portfolios. The look and feel of the photos is exactly what we were looking for with this shoot, and let me tell you, they absolutely did not disappoint. Being this was our first time ever taking professional photos, we didn’t know what to expect and wondered how they would be able to capture natural looking photos of us doing meaningful activities around the places we enjoy most. Kat provided plenty of thoughts and recommendations during initial calls and texts which got our imagination going, but never pressured us in one direction or the other which we appreciated! Kat and Mike were very easily to get along with which made the shoot fun, and that’s what made for some fantastic photos. They know how to get creative with their art and we couldn’t be happier with how the preview photos came out, which was way more than we expected. Can’t wait for the full album! Highly recommend hiring Kat and Mike for any type of shoot! -

Memories catch and to hold onto
Created Coastal is made by artists! The texture, the lighting, the creative angles, and candid moments were caught at our wedding.
Through the whole process Kat was more than a vendor but a resource for two years. We had her booked so long ago and as we got closer and closer to the wedding date she was there every step of the way.
On the day, she was more prepared than even my bridesmaids. She had scissors for the sand caught in my dress, she had tissues for the tears of happiness that fell, and also structure (for those family members who needed it haha).
I can’t recommend anyone more for photos and hope I can work again with them to capture more memories as we build our family in the future -

Kerry M. Sent on 08/28/2024The best around - seriously!
We used Created Coastal Photography for our elopement in August of 2024 and they went above and beyond every step of the way. From sending us some of their portfolio so we could narrow down our location (we picked Ft. Wetherill State Park), to finalizing details as our event got closer, to helping us walk through everything day-of, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Kat and Mike are both so kind, so fun, and PHENOMENAL photographers. They make such a great team, put us at ease, and we had no problem relaxing and being in the moment because of their guidance. And our photos are absolutely breathtaking!! We've gotten so many comments on our photography that we may make the drive to Rhode Island from Philly any time we need any type of photos in the future.
Cannot comment enough on how wonderful they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Mike and Kat are amazing! They are somehow both incredible organized and easy going and fun to work with. They got involved early on to assist with timeline planning and I was so thankful for their expertise in making sure our day would be relaxing, smooth and enjoyable for both us and our guests. They had incredible attention to detail and captured so many sweet small moments that I didn't even notice! We are so lucky to have such beautiful photos to remember our day. -

I can't say enough good things about Mike and Kat. I feel truly so lucky to have had the opportunity to have them by our sides the day of our wedding- more than just photographers! It is clear that they are so passionate about what they do and they put so much thought into every detail- from planning to execution and follow up. I'll never forget the in-between times during our photos where Kat was here there and EVERYWHERE- bobby-pinning my moms hair, fixing my husbands boutonniere or organizing our bridesmaids florals and making everything look picture perfect. They're truly a one-of-a-kind duo. If you are looking for a wedding photographer that prioritizes comfort, fun and authenticity- you found them. I can't thank them enough, and I hope they are looking for new best friends because we are available and to be honest that is what i've been telling all of my family and friends so before this gets too embarrassing i'll just stop and say THANK YOU AGAIN!!! BOOK THESE LOVELY PEEPS! -

Two word review: BOOK THEM
Let’s face it, if you’re reading this then you’re likely in the throws of engagement or wedding planning so we’ll keep this short and sweet. If Kat and Mike are available for your big day, BOOK THEM. Within all the chaos of planning and on the wedding day itself, they are a calming presence and always helped ground us back to living in and enjoying the moment. If you can, book Kat and Mike for your engagement shoot and wedding day. They took all the nerves out of our engagement shoot and encouraged us to be fun and silly in front of the camera which led to amazing shots. On our wedding day, Kat and Mike rolled with all the punches alongside us and kept the day completely on track for us. They are a power couple and a dynamic duo. During our wedding, Kat and Mike were EVERYWHERE and captured everything. Working with them is like having a best friend with nothing but your best interest at heart. Kat and Mike are the perfect balance between professional and fun, and both feature an incredible eye for photography. -

Kat and Mike went above and beyond as photographers, making us feel comfortable leading up to our day and at our wedding. Their talent and style is perfection but they are also very special humans who met us where we were during our stressful planning. For someone who is not keen on the spotlight, they made me feel at ease and calm throughout a day filled with the attention. Kat was a family member whisperer, keeping everyone collected and organized. They shared a huge sneak peek collection of images super quickly after the wedding and kept the Moms happy! They are the best and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who has photography needs. -

Obsessed!!!
Kat and Mike blew us away. They shot our welcome party and wedding and not only were they fun to work with, but they kept us organized and stress free throughout the entire weekend. Kat was prepared for any scenario and saved the day on multiple occasions. She kept me at ease when I was feeling incredibly anxious. Huge fan of their work and them as human beings as well. They sent sneak peeks and BTS shots really quickly following our event that had me in tears. Grateful for them forever. 10/10 will never stop recommending!! -

We had a great time with Kat and Mike! They were super helpful in the planning process and really took the time to understand what was important to us. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience and even better photos! -

Highly recommend Kat & Mike for your wedding photos (or any photo shoot for that matter!) When we started wedding planning we knew that we wanted the right photographer for the day. After looking at several photographers and their portfolios we loved what we saw from Kat and Mike at Created Coastal. What we didn’t know was how much more they would contribute to the wedding. Our first in person meeting with them it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. They laid out a schedule of the entire day so we knew what to expect on such a hectic day. They also offered suggestions that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. I don’t think we could have expected them to be at great as they were on our wedding day though…Kat is on top of literally everything, when leaving the house with the bride & bridesmaids… everything I was asking for was either already in the bag, in the limo or in her pocket. Mike left to meet with the guys at the venue to get some photos in early so we could spend more time with the guests at cocktail hour. He got several great photos of all the guys both individually and as a group. He was even able to sneak some of of the gro -

Jake S. Sent on 05/28/2024The best decision we made
We literally cannot say enough great things about Kat & Mike. Not only are they incredible at their job, but they also ended up being so much more to us than just our wedding photographers. They became our trusted partners, source of comfort, and, best of all, our friends. Working with them felt like working with people we'd known forever, and their photos are simply amazing. Everyone we've shown them to is completely blown away, and so are we. The photos are everything we could've hoped for and more, and we feel so lucky to know and have worked with Kat & Mike.

Kat and Mike did an amazing job capturing our engagement. Right from the start when I first reached out, they were extremely responsive and easy to work with. They had great ideas for the engagement location, and even helped set up the area before we arrived. During the shoot they made us feel so comfortable, and had really creative ideas for the photos. We are absolutely in love with our photos and can’t thank them enough for capturing this very special moment for us. We can’t recommend them enough!
