I made a spreadsheet, compared pros/cons, & interviewed several photographers. Some of them felt ok but nothing felt great, I worried the overall cost of things was souring my decisions. Then I interviewed Kate Diamond – I left the interview feeling GREAT. She had an answer to EVERY question (& I have a lot of questions), her enthusiasm was contagious, & I immediately felt confident that I could trust her to handle the day. She was extremely detailed, communicative, & clearly had a formula figured out that ensured success. I’ll be honest, her overall price for what I wanted was more than my other options by quite a bit. I had an internal struggle if it was justifiable to spend more money just because someone gave me confidence or peace of mind. My fiancé thought I was ridiculous spending even $1,000 on photos, & close friends would suggest we use some random person who takes photos as a hobby. I couldn’t shake the confidence I felt in her & decided to go with my gut. I felt immediate relief as soon as I booked her & absolutely knew she would rock it.
We opted to have her & a 2nd shooter for 9 hours & they were amazing for every second of it. They were very professional, quick, organized, & worked well within the chaos that surrounds large events. They handled rambunctious groomsmen with ease & kept the day on schedule. Katelynn was great at providing specific posing direction, as needed, to help guarantee the perfect shot. She even helped pick out some last-minute jewelry choices! Not even mother nature could slow them down, & they took magical photos of our first dance in the rain.
I received so many compliments from people the day after our wedding about how our photography team conducted themselves. People were already impressed & hadn’t even seen how the photos turned out! We received our online gallery with all event photos less than a week after we returned from our honeymoon. There were almost 1,200 photos & they are dreamy. I knew they would be good, but I fall in love with my photos more & more each day. The worst part is trying to choose a favorite when I’m trying to order a canvas or something to hang on the wall – I want them all to be seen! Trying to choose only 40 for my fine art album feels impossible. I don’t think my SO has ever been prouder of a photo before & my MIL said she has never seen prettier wedding photos in her entire life. Two other people that I know were married this year, both selected a photographer that was more ‘affordable’, & both had regrets once seeing my gallery. The difference in quality & overall experience is clear. We have had endless compliments about the photos we have shared, & every penny spent is justified. When all is said & done, you really don’t have much else to show from your perfect day – it absolutely flies by & becomes a blur.
Do yourself a favor & savor it all in the best way possible. Get a 2nd shooter, the package with 100% of your photos, the longest package you can afford, & do a First Look. Pay for the travel if you need to, it is totally worth it. If you want certain photos, be specific, write it down, make a list of the people you want included, etc. I guarantee that if you tell Katelynn what you want, she will do everything in her power to make it happen but it’s on you if you don’t share your thoughts.
How someone makes you feel is worth it, spend the money on someone who relieves stress instead of adding to it, confidence is money well spent!

Kate is a must have for everyones wedding! I am so happy we went with Kate Diamond from every detail of the day she captured it perfectly. Being a covid19 bride it was hard to feel like your wedding will be captured greatly after all the postponements, but she went above and beyond with surpassing all of our hardships! If Kate Diamond is on your radar for photography- take the leep and book with her- you will not be dissapointed in the slightest ❤ -

Katelynn was an absolute pleasure to work with, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else! She was there for us every step of the way, answering our endless questions and putting our minds at ease throughout the whole process. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she has given us photos that we will truly treasure for a lifetime. In fact, we loved our galleries so much that we ended up purchasing them all! If you are thinking of booking her, do it! You won't be disappointed! -

I truly don't have enough words to express all the amazing things Katelynn has done for us during our wedding journey. If you are thinking about booking - do it now because it is so worth the investment! Katelynn gets booked up fast for a reason. :)
Not only was Katelynn super informative about making crucial wedding decisions, but she did everything she could to make us truly feel special. She was flexible, patient, honest, and most of all kind. My husband and I love our engagements pictures and all of the incredible pictures she captured at our wedding. She thinks about every little detail in each shot. We now have these amazing memories that will last with us for the rest of our lives. She has a passion for what she does and will help make your wedding journey so memorable and special. -

We were blown away!!!
Words really can’t describe how amazing Katelynn is! From the very first email exchange, we could tell she was extremely professional and well versed in her craft. When we had our initial meeting, her organization and passion for her clients sold me immediately. She gave us tips for how to run things day of and even suggested we stay away from certain colors in our engagement photos. For us, knowing that she was committed enough to even help with our engagement photo attire convinced us she was the right choice. From then on, every correspondence was answered quickly and thoroughly. Myself and my husband were extremely nervous to be in front of the camera and not only did we have fun doing it, but we LOVE our photos. Katelynn’s aesthetic is truly incredible. The photos are authentic and genuine as well as editorial. Again, we genuinely can’t say enough good things about working with Katelynn. We really enjoyed working with her as a person and we are legit obsessed with our photos. You will not be disappointed if you hire her! -

Victoria Sent on 10/26/2019Best decision I made for my wedding!
Choosing Katelynn was not only one of the best decisions I made for my big day but one of the first decisions I made because I knew ahead of time that I needed her to be my photographer. Katelynn is amazing!! She makes you feel so comfortable behind her camera. She's great at giving instructions and changing your positions to get the perfect shot. Katelynn is also very aware of her surroundings so she always knows where to go next for the perfect backdrop. She is patient, kind, and attentive! Her assistant Jessica was awesome as well! I can't say enough good things about my experience. You girls killed it! Thank you for all that you do for your brides!!

Katelynn & Jessica were so important in helping us to have the very best wedding day we could have dreamed of. We first met with Katelynn to have an in-person consultation. She provided us with all the information we needed to decide she had to be our wedding photographer. Every package comes with an engagement session included. Originally, we had not really wanted to do an engagement session, but it is super helpful in getting us comfortable in front of the camera, see what style your wedding photos will be done in, and just get to know Katelynn & have some awesome pictures for Save the Dates! Leading up to the wedding, Katelynn sends over very detailed planning documents to help you and her stay organized and on track & prepared for the wedding day. We did not have a “shot list” in mind, but Katelynn was instrumental in helping us get every photo we could have imagined on our wedding day. From arriving at the hotel, to our first look, bridal party & family photos, candid’s, details- everything was perfect. Katelynn & Jessica knew our day-of timeline pretty much by heart & were always keeping us on track (invaluable when it’s your wedding dance and lose all sense of time!) Katelynn is so professional, but makes you feel so comfortable at the same time. The variety of packages and collections available to choose from are so great, as you can customize your experience with pretty much any budget level. Katelynn is SO busy but makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the world! We have only seen one wedding photo so far and I’m 1 million % positive they are going to be just as amazing as the sneak peek we’ve seen. We LOVED Katelynn & would highly recommend her to anyone getting married or wanting any type of photo session done. -

Billie Sent on 09/03/2019One of the best decisions I made for my wedding!
I am so happy I hired Katelynn as my wedding photographer. I have followed her work for years and that was the first thing I was sure of after I got engaged. I knew I had to have her as my photographer. I love her editing style and even more so the way she runs her business. She is strong and assertive and she runs her business. She is easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable and gave great direction to ensure we got the perfect shots. She also was always very responsive and helpful with planning and preparing. I would recommend any bride to have her as their photographer, I plan to live through the photos she took for our special day and I know I will enjoy doing that for the rest of my life! -

Amazing!!!
Katelynn rocks! I had been dreaming of the day I would get married and always knew Katelynn would be the one to document this very special day. I planned my whole wedding around her availability because I HAD to have her!
Worth every penny and I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know. Forget the videographer, if you have an outstanding photographer you shouldn’t need a videographer, and Katelynn is just that, she captures each moment perfectly and you feel like you’re right back in that moment and her pictures are breath taking. I am so lucky to have these precious photos I will cherish for a lifetime. -
