    Outsanding

    There are not enough words to describe how AMAZING Katherine is. From our first meeting to today she has been outstanding. Photography is her calling in life. We could not have asked for a better person to capture our engagement shoot and wedding from start to finish. If I could leave a review higher than a 5 star I would!!!!

    The Detail

    Katherine is truly amazing at what she does. She notices and captures the little moments, and somehow turns them into the most beautiful memories. Everything feels genuine and effortless and never forced or staged. She always has a smile on her face, shows up on time, and fits right in with your friends and family, making everyone feel comfortable. We are so grateful for her talent and couldn’t recommend her more!

    Above and beyond

    Kat did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Her work is truly cinematic and reflected the beauty, emotion, and atmosphere of the day perfectly. She isn’t your ordinary wedding photographer, she goes above and beyond in every way. From her artistic eye to her ability to make us feel comfortable and present, Kat delivered something far more meaningful than photos. We couldn’t be happier with her work and would recommend her without hesitation.

    Kat is the best!!!

    It’s hard to find the words to describe how incredible of a person and photographer Kat is. She captured our engagement and wedding so beautifully!! Kat is a master at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially if you are camera shy like me. It’s been an absolute dream to work with Kat and I’m so thankful that our paths crossed!!

    Kat is one of a kind!

    Kathrine is a fantastic wedding photographer. She truly captured the enchanted love of me and my husband’s relationship and created authentic, old money style, glowing photos. We worked together to create a timeline that fit in getting ready, the ceremony, family shots, a couple shoot, and the first dances all in three hours. It was everything that I wanted and it is obvious Kathrine is an experienced photographer. Rest assured you will find a kind, professional photographer in Kathrine and will end up falling in love with the photos she takes.

    Timeless beauty!

    We absolutely loved having Katherine capture our favorite day. From the very beginning, she was genuinely excited for us and made us feel completely at ease, which made the entire experience feel so natural and fun. Her eye for those timeless, effortless moments is truly special, and I’m constantly amazed by the way she sees and documents the little details that end up meaning so much. I’m in love with her film work and overall aesthetic—everything she delivered feels warm, intentional, and beautifully us. We’re so grateful she was the one to capture our experience and preserve these memories in such an authentic way.

    Absolutely Perfect

    Kat was the absolute best. We received our photos and I could not be happier! She was so great to work with and got all of the photos that I wanted. Every single person who looked at the photos just smiled from ear to ear. She captured everything and absolutely saw my vision for how I wanted my photos. She is absolutely worth every penny and the sweetest human ever!

    Book Kat! :)

    Kat was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful, easy to reach, and brought such great energy to our day. She made both me and my husband feel completely at ease, which was huge since we had never done professional photos before. She’s incredible at posing you in a way that feels natural and comfortable, and she made the entire experience so fun!

    We even had guests come up to us mentioning that they loved her energy and professionalism. We had already done our engagement shoot with her and were obsessed with her style and artistic eye, so we couldn’t wait to see the wedding photos. Now that we’ve received them, we’re beyond thrilled! They are absolutely stunning!

    Kat has such a unique creative vision, and I love that she always captures the little moments. All around, she’s the best! We would definitely recommend her and have already referred her to several of our friends who are getting married!

    Amazing photographer!

    Words almost can’t describe how phenomenal Katherine is. She is kind, considerate, and an amazing photographer. Her photos captured the magic of our wedding day. As soon as she showed us some sneak peaks during our photo sessions I started tearing up with joy. Kat provides just enough prompting to capture romance that is fairytale worthy. We loved working with her, and are so grateful she was our wedding photographer. My husband and I got along with her so well, we highly recommend booking her!

    Tahoe Engagement Photos

    Kat was amazing to work with and made our engagement photoshoot in tahoe a dream come true. She was extremely accommodating, making sure we got to shoot at two special locations and she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable during the shoot!  She was so easy to get a hold of, easy to communicate with and even gave tons of recommendations for the rest of our weekend in the area - which ended up being so helpful and made the trip perfect! She has a unique eye for composure and taking creative shots, which is what I really appreciated. She is somehow able to capture the most magical moments in the details in her photos. Looking back I was so impressed at the level of craft and care she took in composing each shot- it really felt like she knew us and captured our essence. If I were to some up how I felt looking back at the photos I would say: magical, intimate, timeless, authentic, cinematic, vogue,velvety and intricate.

    Highly skilled, beautiful photos, and personable!

    Kat turned out to be just who we were looking for when it came to our search for a wedding photographer. We loved meeting with her the first time and knew her positive fun personality was a great fit for us (we can be a bit camera-shy and wanted someone who would make us feel comfortable). We also thought she offered a very reasonably priced package (including engagement photos) which was honestly hard to find elsewhere in the wedding world. We had the best time meeting and working with her during our engagement shoot and knew she would be perfect for wedding day, which she was! She was flexible, organized, positive, and efficient, the latter being very important in order to get through photos and spend more time with guests. When she delivered our gallery, we were blown away at the colors, lighting, and content - she truly captured our day in exquisite detail and seemed to highlight our favorite parts without us even directing her! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic person and talented photographer.

    Kat captured our day beautifully!

    Working with Kat was an absolute dream from start to finish! From our first conversation, she made us feel comfortable and confident that she truly cared about capturing our special day in the best way possible. On the wedding day, she was organized, calm, and so much fun to be around. Kat has this incredible ability to blend in seamlessly, so she captures all the real, raw moments without you even realizing she’s there.

    Her creativity and attention to detail blew us away—she made every shot feel unique and magical. When we got our photos back, we were honestly speechless. She didn’t just document our wedding; she captured the emotions, the energy, and all the love in the room.

    Kat went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She’s not just an amazing photographer—she’s someone who genuinely makes your day even better!

    Fantastic Photographer

    Kat was fantastic during our wedding in Lake Tahoe, September 21 2024. Kat was kind, attentive and she knew exactly what to do, which places, which shots we wanted. PLUS, Kat integrated so well with our family, everyone loved her, and the pictures turned out just FANTASTIC! Incredible! We would recommend Kat for her work 10000x times over! ALSO, we got an engagement session by the beach that turned out great!

    Kat is incredible!


    We recently had the pleasure of working with Kat for our engagement session in Lake Tahoe, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we met her, she made us feel like family, which truly enhanced the day.

    Kat joined us on a climb for our engagement session, hiking up to get the perfect shots. Her dedication and enthusiasm were evident throughout, making the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.

    She’s both professional and personable, always open to connecting and understanding our vision. We just received our photos, and they beautifully capture the true essence of our day with our closest loved ones. We highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for an amazing documentary photographer—her talent and approach are simply unmatched!

    Cannot recommend enough!!

    I cannot recommend Kat enough. She was the only photographer who worked with me when I inquired for a last minute session during a spontaneous trip to Lake Tahoe. She squeezed us in, and on the afternoon of our session made us feel so comfortable. She kept in mind the inspiration photos I had sent and had great cues. The resulting photos were incredible. She had great communication from inquiry to gallery delivery. Book Kat, you won’t regret it!!

    Don’t miss out on the best!

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kat Krakowski Macy as our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend her enough! Kat captured all the most beautiful moments of our special day, making them even more magical than I could have imagined. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, ensuring every important detail was perfectly documented.

    Kat worked tirelessly to make sure we had our photos in a timely manner, and the quality was beyond exceptional. She truly has an eye for those once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we are so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever.

    If you're looking for a photographer who is not only professional and talented but also someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further. You won’t regret hiring Kat! She is the best!

    Elopement Extraordinaire

    Wonderful communication. Open to my “must have” shots wishlist and made sure we got them. Planned an elopement in 2weeks and LUCKILY she was available. I didn’t have any backups! I knew the results I wanted and knew she was the gal to make it happen. I wasn’t feeling 100% confident about myself being 5months pregnant and I shared that with Katherine. She knew exactly how to pose us and different shots to disguise the bump. And then the horrific sunburn I got the day prior- couldn’t tell in the final edits! She’s a miracle worker. She made Nick and I both feel comfortable posing and being the center of attention when both of us were just ready to say I do and move on with our new lives. I’m so glad I have these photos to share and hope to book with her again as she was open to my kind of crazy idea of a senior dog photoshoot too.

    Exceptional Photography Experience with Kat

    I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented photographer, Kat, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional.

    Kat's keen eye for backdrops and poses is truly unmatched. Every shot was carefully composed, and her attention to detail ensured that each photograph captured the essence of the moment perfectly. She even helped provide me with props to make my photo collection different than the rest. Whether against the backdrop of nature or within an urban setting, Kat's ability to choose the right scenery for each shot added a unique and artistic touch to the entire collection.

    Professionalism and timeliness are two qualities that stood out throughout the entire process. Kat was prompt in responding to inquiries, and her organized approach made scheduling and planning the photo shoots a breeze. She was well-prepared for each session, ensuring that no moment was missed and that the overall flow of the shoot remained smooth and efficient.

    What truly sets Kat apart is her ability to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during the photo shoots. Her friendly and personable demeanor immediately put me at ease, making the entire experience not only stress-free but also genuinely fun. Kat's positivity and enthusiasm were contagious, resulting in natural and candid moments that truly reflected the joy of the occasion.

    I highly recommend Kat for anyone seeking a photographer who not only possesses a remarkable talent for capturing stunning backdrops and poses but also brings a level of professionalism, timeliness, and genuine enjoyment to the entire process. My experience with Kat surpassed all expectations, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

    Best photographer!

    Kat was my photographer for my wedding and she did an absolutely amazing job. First off she is genuine and sweet. She worked so hard, running everywhere to get all the shots. She was also very clear in everything she was doing. I asked her for specific shots during the wedding and she made sure she got every single one on my day. She even traveled to another location for me to get some last minute extra shots. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Also her turn around to receive photos is quick! I highly recommend her.

    The Whole Package

    My husband and I decided to elope in South Lake Tahoe. Coming from another state it was very intimidating / difficult to find a photographer that felt genuine and could provide the things we needed. Kat & Drew surpassed expectations. We got to have our dream private elopement and couldn’t have picked better people to be a part of it. We are so obsessed with our photos and for the new wonderful friends we made!
