    Kathleen's work is incredible!

    Kathleen's photos are timeless, and a true testament to your most special memories. Not only is her work flawless, but she's also an incredibly kind person, and a joy to work with. Booking her for your wedding day or portrait session is such a great decision, and I truly can't express enough praise!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Katie is AMAZING! She is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable. She treats you like you're her best friend and makes you feel beautiful. Her photography is top notch - I have not been able to find a photo I don't love! She captures the love and happiness of the day. She also goes above and beyond to edit out any weird marks, etc. Katie also was so helpful on the day of the wedding! Our transportation was running late due to a hurricane and she was the first one on the phone calling our transportation company without being asked. She just jumps in wherever needed! She is well worth the cost of her services! I will be using Katie again and again for any photography needs. I have received so many comments from family and friends about how beautiful my photos are and I attribute it all to Katie!

    Kathleen is an amazing photographer!

    If you are thinking about hiring Kathleen for any special occasion, DO IT! My now husband and I were flying from Utah to DC for our wedding, we didn’t know any photographers so I just searched on Instagram and found Kathleen. My father messaged with her and she was so patient, understanding, informative and very clear with us so we decided to hire her! Before getting to DC she took the time to look at the temple grounds where we were getting married so she was prepared. She never photographed at the temple and it is HUGE. On the day of the wedding she was so excited and full of joy to photograph our special day. I hadn’t eaten all day and was kind of hangry and she was so sweet in keeping peace and happiness during the shoot. She listened to my ideas during the shoot, as well as came with a lot of great ideas. We LOVE our photos so much, I look at them all the time. My husband and I are so happy with them and so grateful for Kathleen.

    Speechless!

    Kathleen was absolutely amazing. She was super helpful throughout this whole process and made our wedding day! I’m from Germany and she made sure everything went smoothly that day. We’re both not very comfortable in front of the camera but we never felt like that with her on this day. It felt like we were meeting a good friend. We got our wedding highlights less than 48 (!!) hours after she had taken them and we’re both still blown away. They could not have turned out better, we’re so so happy! We got the rest of our wedding gallery not shortly after that. We’re so glad we chose her to capture our elopement! If you want timeless, and unique pictures, you need to hire her!!
    Kathleen, thank you again!

    Obsessed with our pictures!

    I had such an amazing experience with Kathleen!! She was so enthusiastic and sweet, and did an amazing job working with our tight timeline for our day. She made us feel comfortable and our photos came out amazing. Our photos from our micro wedding came back to us so quickly and were beautiful. Everyone commented on how much they loved our photos. I cannot say enough good things about Katie, she was such a pleasure to work with!

    This is the one!

    Katie and John were absolutely amazing! We were recommended to them from a friend who has used them for several shoots. They did not disappoint!

    Our wedding day was so stressful - the venue and the weather were total let downs. Katie was amazing at easing our nerves and reminding us to HAVE FUN! It was raining all day, but the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous regardless. They kept to our schedule, and always knew what was coming next. They knew how to pose us, keep the crew engaged, and they truly caught all of the moments we were hoping for. We loved them so much, we've booked a family shoot as well! Highly recommend for any event!

    Boudoir Session

    My boudoir session with Katie was unreal in the best way possible - I left feeling like I was on cloud 9! Katie was so accommodating, comforting & most importantly body positive. She directed & posed me to make sure she had my best angles. Her photos are equally as artistic as they are sexy. She was the perfect hype girl all while being professional in an intimate setting. I absolutely recommend doing a boudoir session at least once in your life, and to do it with Katie! She’ll make you feel empowered!

    A Dream Come True

    I had been dreaming about working with Kathleen since I first discovered her and she did not disappoint! She's just as sweet as she is talented. Shooting our baby announcement with her was so easy and smooth. She went above and beyond to make it fun (even at 6am) and made us feel super comfortable. I wish I could re-do my wedding just so I could hire Kathleen as my photographer. The photo gallery we received was perfection and we're already trying to come up with other excuses to book her again!

    First couple photo session


    Kathleen is an absolutely amazing and talented photographer! She did not just simply take photos for us but she made the whole experience so much more fun and pleasant than I could ever imagine, especially for my fiance and I who are awkward and clueless in front of camera :) This was our first couple photo session (styled wedding portrait) and she was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable. The photos turned out beautiful! I would definitely recommend Kathleen to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

    Engagement Photos

    Where do we begin? Katie was everything and more. Leading up to the session we had no idea what to expect since we had never been in front of a camera like this. She was sweet, professional and totally had us extremely comfortable for our engagement photos. She gave us just the right direction to catch our moment and capture the best photo. The turn around time to receive our photos was quick and the outcome was just simply beautiful and amazing. Katie, thank you so much and can’t wait to continue using your services as our story unfolds!

    Amazing pictures & awesome personality

    She got back to us so quickly and on the day she gave us a little direction which was welcomed because we aren't used to being behind the camera! She was so friendly and understanding, even when things didn't necessarily go as planned. We got our pictures back & we are still staring at them! We are so impressed by the quality of the pictures! People have been messaging me about them asking how we found our photographer! You will not be disappointed if you book with her! She takes remarkable photos and her goal is to make sure you are happy with them! Couldn't recommend her enough!

    Katie is very professional and very sweet during the entire booking and session. She put me and my husband at ease, making us comfortable with the way we should pose for the pictures, so we don't feel awkward during the session, especially with my husband being usually a shy person. Very instructional and we can tell that she used to what she's doing, her work is very smooth. We would recommend her for everyone looking for good and professional pictures done.

    Best Wedding Photographer in the DMV

    If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL photographer to capture your special moments…Katie Marie Ward is your woman.
    We feel very lucky to have found Katie and John to capture our engagement and wedding photographs. The images were spectacular and we couldn’t have been happier.
    Both my husband and I have been avid photographers for many years, so it took us quite some time (7-8 months of looking for the right photographer) before we were fortunate to find Katie. From day 1 Katie was exceptionally responsive, professional, focused, but on a more personal level she was sweet, fun, creative and enthusiastic, which made her a joy to work with. I know she loves her work, it shows not only in her interactions with you but also in the work she produces - the images speak for themselves.
    Katie not only has the technical skills, the creativeness, but also works hard for her clients to capture those special moments they will never forget – which is a priceless gift. Thank you K&J.

    Katie is one of a kind photographer who exhibits both talent and great workflow at the highest level. As a professional videographer, it was a privilege to work next to her. Her creativity and her passion drives results that surpasses any challenges she may face. I highly recommend Katie for any type of photoshoot as she possesses the skills and the eyes to produce out of the world photos yet at the same time creates a confident environment where it is a blast to work with.

    Kathleen was all we could have asked for and more. With only 3 days lead time she got on board and made it a wedding to remember. She was so flexable and helpful, even pitching in to help decorate. Kathleen had ideas for photos we had not thought of but now really love. Highly recommend her.

    I’ve had the privilege of working with Kathleen Marie on a number of occasions and I must say there’s a magic that happens when she gets behind the lens! She always manages to capture the most beautiful elements of every scene and occasion as well as the best moments! Not only is she extremely talented but also very professional and pleasant to be around. She’s always on time and ready to get to work and delivers the final photos promptly. You only have to looks at her work to know that you’ll get nothing but the best! The proof is right in front of you!

    Kathleen is so amazing! She took my college graduation photos and as an art minor I can be pretty picky and critical with photography, but I was pleasantly surprised and blown away by her work! Not only was the quality of the pictures phenomenal, but the experience of the shoot was nothing but laughs and genuine smiles from my whole family. She made sure that she captured me at my best and wasn't afraid to guide me to the perfect spot or move the ocassional (and very stubborn) curls to get a flawless picture every time. She is classy and a talented professional through and through. I definitely recommend her to capture any monumental milestone in your life!
