    Joy to work with, perfection!

    I wish I could award more than 5 stars!!!!
    When planning our daughter’s May 2021 wedding, I don’t think I fully appreciated the importance of selecting the photographer who would be capturing the images of this most important occasion! But when the day arrived, I began to understand that there is so much more than just “taking pictures” of the bride, groom and the wedding itself. First and foremost, Kate Panza is an artist. She is incredibly talented and managed to catch the spirit of each moment, the heart of each individual photographed, as time seemed to race by on the wedding day. Her artist’s eye picked up the details, lighting and nuances that we might have missed. It’s been such fun to go back and see those images now that the wedding is a sweet memory. What I also learned is that Kate is incredibly organized and has the unique ability to stay on task, calm and focused when thousands of other details are unfolding. The schedule that she crafted with our wonderful wedding coordinator, Jessica Hernandez (Lovebird Lane Events), was both intentional and flexible. She made sure that our wishes were followed and we had time for all of the family photos as well. But probably the thing I will remember the most about Kate is her kindness. She is truly present, entering into the holiness of the moment as the wedding took place. Her work is her calling and it shows in the beautiful images that we will treasure for a lifetime. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Kate Panza Photography!

    You can't go wrong with Kate Panza!!!

    Kate Panza is one of the most humble and amazing individuals I've met in my entire life. The beauty of her photographs speaks for itself. She captures light, emotion, and details like no other photographer I have seen and this was my deciding factor in going with Kate. My now husband and I hired Kate in Spring 2018 after weeks of doing our research and knowing that photographs were very important for our wedding vision. Our wedding was planned for March 21, 2020. Unfortunately, we were the first wedding for Kate to be canceled in Texas due to COVID-19. That week our vision changed at least three times. There were so many tears shed, as to be imagined, but Kate was more than a professional photographer for us but our voice of reason and mentor. She spent so much time rearranging timelines, the wedding vision, and overall just being our top vendor bearing with us the entire week and for nearly a year after. Our wedding was moved to October 2020 and again to February 6, 2021. Kate did not have to do this, but she remained our photographer the entire time. I always felt like a priority with Kate and was treated with such kindness and respect at all times.
    If you want beautiful photographs that are light, airy, and capture beautiful details, then YES, Kate is the photographer for you. If you more than a vendor who is passionate about her talents and captures the emotion of the most important day of your life, then YES YES, Kate is 110% the photographer for you.
    We went with her for engagements, bridal portraits, and of course the wedding we were eventually able to have. Oh and brides, I completely recommend doing bridals. I was somewhat on the fence at times, but this was an opportunity to interact with Kate in my dress, increase confidence in my poses, and allowed us to have more flex time on wedding day because so many amazing shots were already taken ahead of time. Pro tip...do it all and go with Kate Panza Photography :)

    Absolutely adore Kate!

    Kate was the best to work with for engagement, bridal and wedding day pictures. She made our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be, highlighting our favorite parts of the day. She is extremely kind, encouraging and reassuring during the most exciting yet stressful time of your life. I can’t wait for her to photograph our little family as it grows. Even living in Houston, I would travel the distance to work with her again.

    Kate is HANDS DOWN the best photographer in the DFW area. Her eye for detail and ability to instantly understand her clients is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Everyone always told me to think long and hard about your photographer because they are one of if not the most important vendor for your wedding. This statement is in fact true and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the work that Kate has done thus far for our wedding!
    I also noticed that when working with wedding vendors, responsiveness is key. There’s never an issue with Kate in this area. She makes sure all my questions and concerns are answered and gives me complete piece of mind.
    I highly recommend Kate to all brides wanting breathtaking pictures, a professional yet fun energy to work with, and for those type A brides like myself who need consistent reassurance, she’s truly amazing and one of a kind!

    I don't even know where to start with my review of Kate. She is amazing in so many ways. Personally, she is such a kind and genuine person, that made me and my husband feel so comfortable and special. Professionally, she is the most talented photographer and captures every detail perfectly. My now husband and I fell into a difficult situation when two months before our wedding we decided to part ways with our photographer and find a new one. This had me VERY stressed. I had a Facebook friend that had been posting the several months before just how amazing her photographer was, and that quickly came to mind as someone I wanted to get in touch with-Kate. I set a consultation with her, but I also had scheduled 4 other consultations over that week. Kate was the first we met with, and after our meeting, we cancelled every other consultation. We knew that she was everything we wanted in a photographer, and even in a new friend. She never ceased to amaze us with her thoughtfulness. She went above and beyond in every way possible, and the pictures she takes are complete art. Any bride would be SO LUCKY to have Kate, and I recommend her to everyone.

    Kate is an absolutely amazing photographer. She's only done our engagement pictures so far, but I can't wait to see what she captures of the wedding! Kate is friendly and easy to work with, both beforehand and during the shoots. Her photos are sharp, creative, and beautiful (I've gotten so many compliments on our engagement pictures from people who are creative and visually-talented). Additionally, she edits & delivers photos fast! She cares about all of her clients and even runs an FB group for her brides :)

    Kate is such a delight! She was such a joy to work with and you can feel her love for marriage and LOVE. She captures those amazing moments that you want to relive over and over. One of my favorite things about Kate's work is the time she puts toward editing her photos and the details of making each photo a separate moment, not just one overall filter. Book Kate ASAP!

    Kate was amazing. She made my husband who does not like being photographed SO comfortable and our pictures turned out fantastic. Better than I could have ever dreamed. She went above and beyond in all areas of our experience with her and I am so glad she was our photographer!

    Kate is amazing, I really can't say enough good things about her - as a photographer and as a person. I won a drawing for a mini-session through her FB page a few years back and my husband and I enjoyed it so much. She was very encouraging and I loved how she captured us. So when our youngest daughter got engaged I thought of Kate for the wedding. Oh my goodness I'm so glad she was available. She captured their day PERFECTLY, and was such a joy to work with. She goes above and beyond! She was flexible with meetings, and her calming presence on the actual wedding day was the icing on the cake. I HIGHLY recommend Kate Panza - you'll love her (and her work!!)

    Kate was my photographer for a boudoir shoot that I gave to my husband as a wedding gift. She took an awkward situation and made me completely comfortable! The pictures turned out amazing and my husband absolutely loved them!

    I always told myself that if I ever got married, my budget & focus would be on the photography - because, after all, the flowers will die & you'll never ever wear that dress twice. The photos are all you will have left of the big day, so make them great! So that is exactly what I did. God found me the perfect man, then together, we found the perfect photographer to capture our story. We first saw her work when she photographed several of our friends' weddings. We both knew in our hearts that whenever it was our turn, she would be the one! We were not disappointed. Kate is beyond flexible and makes you feel so comfortable in otherwise awkward or vulnerable settings such as an intimate engagement shoot. Kate had been wanting to shoot Enchanted Rock for a long time & drove clear across Texas to climb with us to the top (on what I'm positive was one of the hottest days of summer) to get the perfect shots. I that isn't convincing enough - let me tell you about the wedding day: We happened to get married on the same day Hurricane Harvey hit. As most people were evacuating the area & going towards higher ground, Kate again ventured across Texas (towards the storm) . Almost everything we had planned for was changed, yet Kate remained positive & went with the flow. Instead of feeling defeated by the day, she saw opportunity. We had a BLAST taking photos out in the wind/rain & we were so pleased with the results! How many times will you get to photograph a hurricane wedding afterall? I can't emphasize enough how having Kate as our photographer (& friend) was one of the best/easiest decisions we ever made (besides getting married of course!). Texas brides, she is your gal.

    There are not enough words to describe how great of a photographer Kate is. I know the moment I got engaged that she would be the one capturing these next few months leading up to my wedding day (she also captured the proposal)! My husband is not one to be in front of the camera, & he was so comfortable with her that each session was so much fun & the photos are breathtaking!!! Kate photographed our proposal, engagements, my bridals & of course our wedding day! Each details was carefully throughout & she makes you feel stunning in front of the camera! She’s just an amazing person, inside & out! My family & friends raves about her professionalism on our wedding day & the photos we received were nothing short of jaw droppping!! As a wedding planner myself, there are so many moving parts to your wedding day & it can get chaotic, but Kate stopped & reminded me what this day was truly about: getting to marry my best friend! We love Kate & know she will be in our lives for years to come as she continues to capture our story!

    Kate is the best photographer ever! She is very talented, not to mention very kind and humble! Kate goes above and beyond for her clients. She treats you like family. She cares about her clients and she cares about her work and it really shows. You won't be sorry for hiring Kate for your special event! She is so professional and very efficient! She gets your photos back to you quickly and the quality is great! I could go on and on about Kate...She is WONDERFUL!

    Whoever you are you NEED to use Kate as your photographer! Her work is flawless and true art. She is the most kind, considerate, positive person. Her passion for her work and her heart that understands graduating, marriage, pregnancy, and just life makes working with her a truly unique and touching experience. She has worked with my whole family on several occasions and has become a friend we will have forever. Love love love her!!

    When you read my review, your going to think Kate is related to me but she isn't. We just wish she was! I am the mother of two brides that got married in less than 5 months apart. My oldest daughter found Kate thru a friend of hers. We are not from Fort Worth which meant we had a very fair travel expense to get Kate to San Antonio. After our experience, I would have flown her in from Europe for our second daughter 's wedding! Kate is a storyteller with her words and artistry of photography. Kate's faith in God seems to make her perspective different in her art. She captures emotions not people. She captures light not places. She captures moments, to be shared forever. Moments by Kate made our daughters' weddings last with us forever. We love you Kate!

    Kate Panza Photography's reply:

    Way to make me cry! Thank you SO much for the gift of not just one of your daughters - but TWO! I truly, truly, truly cannot thank you and Michael enough. The best thing about what I do, is getting to know the people in the story. The hardest part, is at the end of the wedding, watching them drive away. I'm so very grateful that your family won't be one that fades away. Love you so very much!

    Kate is an amazing photographer! Not only does she have a brilliant eye for photos, she is extremely professional and fun to work with. Kate did both my engagement and wedding photos, and I could not be happier with how they turned out. She rocked it in freezing cold temperatures, and worked around our crazy wedding day schedule to give us the perfect shots. We were absolutely thrilled by Kate's work and will definitely use her in the future for other life events!

    Booking Kate as my photographer was the second best decision for my wedding. Second to the decision of marrying my husband :) Kate is professional, passionate, and an artist. Kate truly wants to learn about the couple and their vision for the day. She wanted to be involved every step of the way and wanted updates as I made decor and attire decisions. She said that this helped her to begin visualizing your wedding MONTHS in advance. She loves love stories and her main desire is to capture the most perfect moments of your perfect day. Now I have the most wonderful pictures so that I can re-live the most perfect day for years to come. I could not recommend her more. If you want a flawless and professional experience with a photographer who devotes all of her time to you and your groom, then Kate Panza Photography is for you.

    I could rave about Kate forever!! She never felt like our photographer; instead, more like a life long friend that immediately understood our vision. Her skill level is incredible and I was never worried about the quality of photos that we would receive. She truly loves love and makes all of her clients feel unique, giving them an exceptional experience.

    I cannot say enough about Kate. I wanted rich, beautiful photos that would be forever mementos for my husband and me. Kate nailed it! She listened and made sure she understood what we wanted and then delivered photos that astonishing blew away our expectations. She's remarkably talented, not to mention, is so fun and easy to work with! Her light never stopped shining and is reflected in every single image.

    If could do my wedding day over again I would definitely change a few things! Kate is not one of them. The memories she captures and the way she personally finds the unique beauty in every couple's relationship is priceless. We LOVE her and her photography.

    We would choose Kate again and again.

    Kate Panza was the BEST wedding planning decision my husband and I made. We chose to have a destination wedding and decided our photos were of the utmost importance to us. With Kate, we don't only have pictures of our wedding, but also of our hearts and souls at that very moment. Every bride wants to feel beautiful and every groom wants to feel comfortable. Kate's experience and artistic flare allows for both. She is everything you want in a professional photographer AND a human. I tell every woman getting married (friend and stranger) how special our experience was and will continue to do so. Choose Kate and she will make your relationship feel chosen right back in every moment she captures.
