Olivia Sent on 01/21/2026Katie is a pro! 10/10!
From the very beginning of our planning process, Katie was professional, organized, and calm - exactly what I wanted for our wedding day. In the days leading up to our wedding, we were feeling anxious about the weather, but she put us at ease with thoughtful backup plans for every scenario. It ended up being extremely windy - 60+ MPH gusts! - and she adapted effortlessly, found creative solutions, and captured the most beautiful, special shots despite the conditions.
Thanks to Katie's steady presence and incredible eye, we have so many meaningful memories captured that reflect the joy of the day. We would recommend her to anyone looking to capture authentic, timeless moments on Nantucket. -

Olivia Sent on 01/10/2026Choosing Katie as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made!!
Words truly can’t express how overjoyed and grateful we are to have worked with Katie Kaizer for our wedding.
From the moment we got engaged to long after the final celebration, Katie was so much more than a photographer—she was a trusted guide, a calming presence, and an invaluable member of our vendor team. She is the definition of a true professional. Katie kept us informed and prepared at every step, offering thoughtful feedback, checking in on our needs and wishes, and making sure the entire experience felt effortless and enjoyable.
And the photos—not only from our wedding day, but from the night‑before events and our engagement shoot—are absolutely breathtaking. Everyone who has seen them can’t help but gush. Katie possesses an extraordinary talent not only for capturing moments, but for telling a story—your story—with sincerity, artistry, and heart. Her images feel genuine, emotive, and beautifully composed in a way that transports us right back into the magic of the day.
Katie also goes above and beyond in every sense. While my husband and his family are from Nantucket, we were married in Rye, NY at my family’s beach club—a place incredibly special to us. Not only did Katie travel for our October 2025 wedding weekend, but she thoughtfully researched each of our locations beforehand, mapping out the best angles and pinpointing the ideal lighting at different times of day. She familiarized herself with every space so that we felt completely at ease and so she could capture the most meaningful and beautiful images possible. Her willingness to travel, collaborate with new vendors, and go the extra mile meant the absolute world to us.
We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. They allow us to relive those unforgettable moments again and again, and they are treasures we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Katie is exceptional at her craft, but she’s also someone you feel genuinely lucky to have by your side on one of the most important days of your life. We cannot recommend her highly enough. -

We were fortunate to secure Katie (thank you Maggie Stewart!)) for our wedding this September 13, 2025 at Sankaty Beach and Golf Club on Nantucket. Given that we are both very busy professionals, we were not always the best at getting things done! Katie was wonderfully patient with us as we tweaked plans, made changes and were not always the best at responding. We ended up doing our engagement photo shoot about two weeks before the wedding, and I never thought I could have that much fun in front of the camera! Katie was so excited to include our dogs in the photos, and we were able to do two separate areas of our island both with and without dogs.
Katie was up for any of our spur of the minute photo ideas, and also had some amazingly artistic ones of her own. The dogs loved her, and she really captured the goofy personality of our two great danes and one "little" mix. She is so upbeat and positive, it was hard to not have fun! She also was happy to pivot and took some silly photos of us with my husband's truck (I was being facetious, but they came out like an advertisement for Ram!) Her previews were such a nice little taste in the lead up to our wedding day!
We had Katie do both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day itself, and I am so happy we did. Her and Maggie worked well together and the whole weekend was seamless. The number of candids that truly show the joy of the day is impressive. We had a few little quirks on the evening of our rehearsal dinner, including a shot ski, and Katie really managed to capture the fun and joy of the moment, along with capturing the happy greeting of our guests.
On the wedding day itself, Katie showed up to the bridal location early and was able to capture some great family and bridesmaids shots. Her colleague, Kevin, shot at our home where the groom was getting ready. Her artistic vision came through in some of our first look photos as she really used the dappled light to her advantage.
Before the ceremony, we had time to do our standard family photos, and also was happy to add on including the dogs. As well as accommodating a number of my last minute (and I mean morning of last minute) photo requests. She got AMAZING photos of my dog and I under the veil and within the bridesmaids bouquets. She made my vision of Bandida being part of my special day come to life! Her photos of the flower toss and the drive off after the ceremony are perfect.
Katie was willing to try anything we asked! Including asking if we could do a champagne spray photo (again, very last minute). With the help of the rest of the vendor teams, we were able to capture a truly amazing photo of us kissing while spraying champagne into the night. I can't wait to blow those photos up and put them on my wall.
There are so many amazing photos that Katie took and her attention to detail is impeccable. Her upbeat personality made EVERYTHING fun. She truly captured the wedding energy and had a blast doing it! I had no qualms about asking her a variety of shots, and she was only too happy to oblige. The end product is stunning. She captured me feeling beautiful on my wedding day and we will have fabulous photos for years to come.
I would hire Katie again in a heartbeat (and will for family portraits in the future!) Her instagram posts in the few days following the wedding gave us little glimpses of what was to come and we were not disappointed! She truly loves what she does, and you could tell she was having fun the whole day. I would recommend her to any one of my friends getting married on the island or in the Northeast, though I am pretty confident we will always remain her favorite couple =) -

Cat Sent on 12/21/2025Cat & Kellen Rikhoff Wedding - Nantucket MA
Katie did the photos for our wedding weekend on Nantucket Island on June 28th, 2025. Overall, the experience with Katie and her team are bar none. Leading up to the wedding, Katie frequently checked in, making herself available to us, and always giving suggestions for ideas to make sure we felt prepared for the big day. For the actual wedding day, having Katie there felt like being with family. She's done so many weddings for our family and her presence always puts everyone at ease and in the mood. During the ceremony/reception, you couldn't even tell her and her team were in the background capturing the most amazing moments. We have the MOST AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL photos that capture memories that will last us a lifetime, and thats all thanks to Katie and her team. Their professionalism, kindness, energy, and guidance made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We couldn't recommend her and her team enough, that are simply fantastic. -

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Katie and her team captured our wedding weekend beautifully, from our sunny welcome events to our rainy wedding day. Despite the unpredictable weather, they handled everything with such calm professionalism and creativity. Every image is full of joy, color, and magic.
They made us and our families feel completely at ease, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. The attention to detail and the way they told the story of the day truly blew us away. We’ll treasure these photos forever and we can’t recommend Katie and her team highly enough! -

Stacey Sent on 05/20/2025Intimate Backyard Wedding
Once we decided on Nantucket as the location for our wedding, we knew that we wanted to find just the right photographer to capture our most special day on a special island. In Katie we found the perfect fit.
From our first conversation with her, we felt that she would be great to work with and she surpassed all of our expectations. Katie didn’t just want to know what pictures we wanted, she wanted to know everything about our story including how we fell in love with each other and why Nantucket is so special to us.
Our wedding date was May 3, 2025, early in the year for a Nantucket wedding, so Mother Nature was talked about a lot in the weeks leading up to the big day. In every conversation, Katie patiently talked us through our options. She helped us come up with plans A, B and C, just in case, and took the time to make sure that all of our options would work and how to best utilize each space. She was a calming voice when we were anxious about things that were out of our control. She asked questions and untimely guided us to what turned out to be the best decision for us, an intimate backyard ceremony.
Katie truly cares about the people she works with and it shows in her pictures. Once the day came, she seamlessly entered our house and blended into the day with ease. She took the time to get to know our family members and her professional yet personal demeanor allowed her to capture everyone and everything that was special to us, down to every last detail.
At the house, Katie beautifully captured the ceremony and our first dance, never missing a smile, intimate look or light touch between us. She walked us down the cobblestone streets, danced us through the daffodils and posed us on Easy Street with the quintessential Nantucket backdrop of water and shingle style homes. We felt like the town had stopped for us. It’s not always possible for a same sex couple to feel comfortable when asked to show love out in public. Katie made it so easy for us to just be ourselves.
There doesn’t seem to be an adequate word to describe how beautifully she captured our love for each other in pictures. To say that we loved working with Katie is an understatement. She has given us the most amazing gift of holding that day in time for us. We will always have her work to look back on and when we do, we will be right back on our island, in a yard we borrowed, on the best day of the most amazing weekend of our lives.
Thank you Katie!
Melissa and Stacey

Kellyann Sent on 04/27/2025Truly Magical!!!
If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your personal story, your heart lay wide open, the very essence of what makes your love story unique, Katie is your only choice.
From our very first conversation she was 100% invested in knowing us as a couple and what we were hoping to capture with our photographs. Having never traveled to Nantucket before, she took the time to understand what things we were excited to see and what we were passionate about in life, to be able to incorporate them into our anniversary photos. Katie went above and beyond with her suggestions of the different locations we could visit during our shoot, and what we should see while in Nantucket, even if we didn’t want to utilize the site for our pictures. She took the time to look at our outfits to be sure the colors would work well with the lighting. She made us feel so comfortable with getting to know her, that we were not one bit uncomfortable when taking our photos. The night was just good friends having some fun and adventure together. Also, being 3rd generation Nantucket, Katie knows the island and its weather like the back of her hand. She was able to pinpoint which day of our visit would be the best day and time for our photos with 100% accuracy.
If you are lucky enough to work with Katie, her involvement with you is not only about the end result (which by the way will be BEYOND your dreams MAGNIFICENT), it’s about sharing each step of the process with you with 100% clarity and true caring. Her professionalism, her artistry and her genuine heart make her the photographer you want capturing your most magical moments. We will be forever grateful for Katie and the great privilege of being on the other side of her lens. We asked her to capture our simple 35 year love story with fun, timeless, romantic pictures and she gave us so much more, she gave us magic in a bottle. Our pictures, and our time with Katie, will forever be one of my most cherished heart treasures. -

Georgia Sent on 03/30/2025A Photographer Who Captures More Than Moments—Katie's Magic
We are beyond thrilled with our experience working with Katie, our incredible wedding photographer, who went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear that she was more than just a photographer—she was someone who genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our relationship and the story we wanted to tell. Katie took the time to get to know us and truly understood our vision for our wedding day in Nantucket, MA on June 15, 2024.
Leading up to the wedding, Katie was incredibly thoughtful and communicative, guiding us through every step of the process. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel completely at ease. She made sure to check in with us to understand exactly what we wanted, while also offering her expert advice and creative ideas. Her calm, reassuring presence gave us so much confidence as we prepared for our big day.
On the wedding day itself, Katie was a true professional—always present but never intrusive. She brought such a sense of calm to everything, which helped us to relax and truly enjoy the moments as they unfolded. She was incredibly patient and compassionate, making sure we felt comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. Her genuine warmth made her feel like part of our family, and we were so grateful to have her there to document our celebration.
And of course, the photos themselves are absolutely stunning. Katie’s talent shines through in every single shot—each image captures not only the beauty of the day but also the love, laughter, and emotions that filled the air. We were blown away by how she was able to encapsulate the magic of Nantucket, the joy of our friends and family, and the unique moments that made our wedding so special.
We cannot thank Katie enough for her incredible work and for being such an amazing part of our wedding journey. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely kind, patient, and thoughtful, Katie is the one to trust. Her talent and dedication made our wedding day unforgettable, and we will treasure the beautiful photos she captured for the rest of our lives. -

Loved Having Katie Photograph our Weekend
From our very first phone call, we knew we had to work with Katie to capture our wedding weekend. She is incredibly professional, was genuinely interested in getting to know us, and talented beyond words. We got married at The Nantucket Hotel in September 2024 with a kick-off celebration at The Proprietor’s the night before. As much as we wanted to capture all the wedding details, we wanted to make sure our love for Nantucket, a place with special memories to us, showed through in the pictures. And wow, did Katie deliver! Her love for the island is apparent in every single picture, especially our personal favorite portraits at Brant Point. Looking through our album brings the biggest smiles to our faces as she captured everything from the excitement greeting family and friends the night before to how it felt to be announced as “The Corrado’s” walking into our reception.
Leading up to the wedding, Katie was involved in every part of the planning. She helped create detailed timelines and even scouted our ceremony spot to find the perfect lighting. We knew she cared about the day as much as we did! Our family and friends couldn’t stop complimenting how friendly and professional she was, making everyone more comfortable and relaxed.
Katie’s work is breathtaking and we are so grateful to have worked with her. We are looking forward to having her capture more memories as the years come!

Claire Sent on 12/17/2024The MOST FUN photographer!
Katie was AMAZING and everything I hoped for with a wedding photographer! My husband and I aren’t really into serious/staged photos, so Katie was the PERFECT fit – our wedding photos are so fun, full of life, and reflective of the day’s energy. Katie (and Cary) captured the BEST candids from the day… if you just let them do their thing, you will love the results!
Also - we had several young nieces and nephews in our wedding, and the photos of the kids are INCREDIBLE. You can feel the joy in every shot, and the kids loved her (as did the rest of our families). Katie was so easy to work with – I could not recommend a better wedding photographer! -

Christopher Sent on 09/10/2024Look No Further Than Katie Kaizer Photographer
There are not enough positive things to say about Katie and her work. We hosted an intimate wedding of 16 guests on Steps Beach. From Day 1 of reaching out, Katie was nothing short of amazing. She was friendly, communicative, open to our ideas, and so eager to make sure our wedding day was perfect. The ways in which she went above and beyond for us are countless. Not a single detail was left unattended and she had an answer for every single question we threw at her (and trust me there were many). Thanks to her passion and expertise, she made us feel completely at ease on our big day and captured every special moment perfectly.
The cherry on top of working with Katie is that when we received the full album we were in AWE! Picking a favorite photo from our wedding is nearly impossible. She captured every possible angle, every guest, and every special moment in indescribable beauty.
We cannot compliment Katie and her work enough. There is not enough room in this review to write how we truly feel about having worked with Katie. We are so fortunate that we got to work with her and attribute so much of the success of our wedding day to her attention to detail. We are so lucky to have gotten to know her, personally and professionally. She will be getting a phone call from us every time we visit Nantucket. If you need a photographer that cares about what they are doing and is extremely talented, look no further than Katie Kaizer. -

WHERE do I start with how incredible Katie was in making our magical micro-wedding as wonderful as it could possibly be? From the very beginning, Katie has an energy that is so genuine and she is so determined to do whatever she can to make your vision a reality. She was more than willing to work with us and our dream of having a small ceremony and provided absolutely beautiful portraits in quite a small window of time. From being extremely thorough with the planning and executing of the time we had, to being very responsive and easy to reach out to whenever questions arose, Katie made the entire experience so personable and special. She is not afraid to do what she can to make your dreams come true! -

Eliza Sent on 01/20/2024The BEST Nantucket wedding photographer
My wedding was in Nantucket, MA in August 2023. Katie photographed my rehearsal dinner at the Sconset Cafe, the welcome party at Cru, and the wedding ceremony/reception at the Sconset Chapel and the Chanticleer.
As a professional photographer myself, the most important part of my wedding was choosing the perfect photographer. I looked at multiple on and off-island photographers, but I knew Katie was the one from the second I saw her portfolio. Not only did she have the standard wedding photos (pictures of the dress, invitations, posed family shots), but she also captured the special moments in between that may have been forgotten if not for her.
Katie and I spoke almost 2 years before my wedding. She was always there if I had any questions or concerns, and was extremely organized with all of the details.
Words cannot express how thankful I am that Katie was my wedding photographer! All of the photos came out better than I could have ever imagined. I will 100% be contacting her again for future family photos. Since I am also a photographer, I'm not used to being the one in front of the camera. However, Katie made it super easy and comfortable for my husband and me. She also photographed my 11-year-old golden retriever, and those are photos I will forever cherish!! All of my friends and family are still commenting on not only how great of a photographer Katie is, but also how lovely of a person. I couldn't agree more! -

Katie is simply the BEST! My husband and I met Katie for our engagement photos on Nantucket in September of 2022 and she was with us every step of the way, leading up to our big day at Galley Beach on 9.9.2023! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is also an absolute joy to work with and truly went above and beyond to make our entire wedding planning experience incredible. I was so impressed by her genuine drive to get to know us as a couple – we often hopped on calls to touch base about life/wedding planning updates during the off season and she even went out her way to come meet us for coffee when we'd visit the island for other vendor meetings! Katie helped us with recommendations for other vendors on Nantucket, she sought out the most perfect lighting and backgrounds for our night before/wedding day of shots and was such a help when crafting our day of timeline. The relationship we developed over the past year really helped to make our photo sessions fun and natural, resulting in the most amazing photos from our wedding weekend. Her expertise as a wedding photographer on the island is truly unmatched. We can't wait to have her capture more special moments for us in the years to come! -

Quinn Sent on 01/10/2024Unforgettable Memories Captured Perfectly by Katie Kaizer & Cary Tozer: A Wedding Photography Dream Team!
We had the pleasure of working with Katie Kaizer for our wedding on 9/16/23 at the Great Harbor Yacht Club in Nantucket, and we cannot express enough how exceptional our experience was with her. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we began planning, with Katie's clear communication and dedication to understanding our vision. She went above and beyond, even scouting locations to ensure that we could capture every detail we had envisioned for our special day.
We encountered a significant challenge when a hurricane hit the weekend of our wedding, causing numerous changes to our plans. Despite the unexpected hurdles, Katie remained incredibly supportive and flexible throughout the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Her adaptability and calm demeanor made us feel reassured and cared for, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Katie's talent truly shone through in the photos she captured. Despite the challenging weather conditions, she managed to create magic with stunning shots of our rehearsal dinner, capturing the essence of the night and the joy shared by our closest family and friends. On the wedding day, she navigated the hurricane with a positive attitude, guiding us through different options and ensuring that we still had a variety of beautiful images. Her ability to turn adverse conditions into opportunities for breathtaking shots showcased her skill and dedication to her craft.
Katie and her teammate Cary were not only professional but also brought an infectious positivity to the entire day. In the midst of a hurricane, they radiated calm and encouragement, making us feel at ease and allowing us to focus on enjoying our wedding. From capturing the intimate moments at my childhood home to the beach, town, and our venue, every photo reflected the love and joy of our celebration.
One of the standout moments was the incredible sunset shots during the cocktail hour and after the storm had passed. Katie's keen eye for composition and lighting made these photos look straight out of a magazine, providing us with memories we will cherish forever. We did not have a videographer for our wedding, and honestly, we were a bit nervous about it leading up to our special day. But once we received the wedding album from Katie and Cary, any worries we had disappeared. The album captured our day so perfectly, and now, as we reflect on our special day, we can't help but smile at all those amazing photos. Especially when we look back on all of the epic dance party shots they captured - they added such a fun and lively vibe to our memories!
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Katie Kaizer and her team for any wedding on Nantucket. Her talent, professionalism, and unwavering support turned a potentially challenging situation into a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. If you want a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also brings a positive and calming presence to your wedding day, look no further than Katie Kaizer and her team. -

Katie Kaizer is Simply the Best!
I cannot say enough praise for Katie and the entire process of working with her! From day one of her meeting us at our home, we immediately connected. Over the course of the year, she held multiple calls with us and also met us at our wedding venue to scout several times. We held our rehearsal dinner outdoors at my aunt's home in Nantucket on September 30, 2022, and all the photos Katie captured are nothing short of spectacular and full of joy. She so beautifully captured both the scenic backdrop and the love felt by everyone in attendance. All while she game-planned with us for the rain that was inevitably going to hit the next day. Our wedding was October 1, 2022 held at a private estate (30 shawkemo road) in Nantucket, MA. The property is vast and located on the ocean. Our plan (right up through our ceremony rehearsal the day before) was to do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and all our photos outside by the water. Hurricane Ian however had other plans! Ultimately, our wedding day was 99% rain and heavy winds. When we realized our entire wedding and photos would need to be moved into our reception tent, this is when Katie truly showed up as the hero that she is! Throughout the morning of getting ready and making last-minute weather-related changes, Katie both took charge and rolled with the punches. As my cousin so eloquently put it: "Katie was the glue that held the wedding together!" From the moment we set foot in the house, Katie was the brightest light, never once complaining about the elements, all while ushering our family and wedding party around with ease and confidence. Her and Cary (second shooter) helped us all stay calm and positive throughout otherwise crazy weather conditions. Our joy and calm comes through in every single getting ready photo. Katie and Cary truly made the most of needing to take our formal photos inside our reception tent, using the tent décor and lighting to add dimension. Our aisle and ceremony shots captured the palpable emotion throughout our tent, and so beautifully depict the feelings of love we all felt. My favorite photos are when Katie asked “will you trust me to do some rain shots?” and we said “ABSOLUTELY” – these photos of us in the rain are pure magic. She made us smile and kept us calm throughout the wind and rain. A highlight was when she hurried us outside when we had literally 5 minutes of clear, pink sky for the most breathtaking shots by the ocean. These rainy weather shots are something out of a magazine. And finally, our dancefloor was absolutely packed the entire night, and she captured the energy of everyone perfectly. I’ve never seen such spirited dancefloor shots before!
Moral of the story: hire Katie, wherever you are getting married, but especially if you’re planning to get married outside. The Grey Lady (Nantucket) is unpredictable, and you will never regret having Katie by your side to turn rain & wind into pure magic!

Katie was a dream to work with. We have been family friends for years so it was a no brainer to hire her. Her style is like nothing I have ever seen before and our photos came out better than I would have even imagined. She was able to capture so many special one off moments and the feelings of us/our guests. Katie and her assistant were polite, hard working and made our day so enjoyable. On top of that prior to the wedding she helped me strategize where to go and how to work everything I wanted into my timeline, while still giving us plenty of time with our guests. We loved working with Katie so much!! -

Katie and her team were truly the best vendors to work with. Katie was extremely responsive, beyond helpful and always available. From the very beginning, Katie went above and beyond to help with any questions I had. Having Katie by my side on my wedding day was the best decision I made ( besides marrying my husband) and the proof is in her work. Katie captured every single meaningful moment of the day and to say I am thankful to have these photos to remember my wedding day is an understatement! -

Working with Katie will be the best decision you can make for your wedding!
Working with Katie was one of the first and easiest decisions we made for our June 2022 wedding at the 'Sconset Chapel & the Chanticleer! Every single person I have shared my wedding photos with immediately gushes over the quality and the talent of our photographer.
I knew from our first introductory phone call that I wanted to work with Katie and be around the amazing energy she brought to our wedding day. She was so helpful and positive in all our pre-planning meetings and phone calls and even recommendations for some of our other vendors. We loved getting to know Katie in the lead up to our wedding so spending the actual day with her felt like spending it with a friend.
It was important to us that we didn’t feel rushed between photo ops or like we spent our whole day posing for formal photos, Katie efficiently shepherded us through our shot list--even finishing portraits ahead of schedule! This allowed us to be fully immersed and present in the day of our wedding and Katie pulled us at the perfect moments for additional pictures throughout the night so we could take a minute to reflect on the evening without missing any of the fun. Katie’s joyful enthusiasm and calm handling of logistics was wonderful throughout and the results speak for themselves!
We have the perfect mix of more formal photos, shots capturing everyone’s real emotions from the day and super fun candids from our dance party. I love looking back on all the moments Katie captured and especially seeing all the little bits we didn’t get to witness on the day of (like my husband getting ready with his friends and our guests arriving at the ceremony). We couldn’t be happier with Katie’s work from our wedding and hope to continue to work with her over the years for family portrait sessions!

The BEST photographer for our wedding weekend!
Katie Kaizer is hands down the most amazing photographer and person. Katie had photographed my two older siblings' weddings, so by the time my husband and I got married in September, I knew Katie was the perfect person. I knew I absolutely loved both her and her work! Now having worked with Katie for my own wedding, I could not say enough wonderful things about working with her. Firstly, Katie takes the time to get to know you as a couple before anything else. She prioritized our relationship, which made being in front of the camera feel so much more comfortable! Katie is fun, enthusiastic, genuine, and has contagious happiness that helped us feel so at ease on our big day (and throughout the other events). Katie spent hours of her time leading up to our wedding weekend to ensure everything would run smoothly. During our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, Katie helped us stay on schedule and captured all of the special moments without making us feel rushed in any way. Just days after our wedding weekend, she sent us previews, and we were blown away by how she captured such special moments in the most beautiful ways. We feel so grateful to have gotten to work with Katie and can not recommend her enough!! -

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Katie in this review--SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Seriously, #1. She is SO incredibly talented, genuine, and kind--honestly a true inspiration. She made every moment of our wedding weekend + day so fun, and made Jack and I feel so comfortable. Katie has a true gift. She captured the most magnificent moments of Jack and I throughout our wedding weekend. WOW!! From Cisco Brewery, to our rehearsal dinner at The dreamland, our first look at Brant Point and our ceremony and reception at The galley—she absolutely crushed it!! Katie captured every single emotion that we felt. Every single photo is so magical. Every time I look at her photos from our wedding weekend, I get to relive every single moment and it makes me laugh smile and cry of happiness all at the same time! It was truly was the best weekend of our lives and I am so glad that we have all of these beautiful memories captured by Katie to look at and be reminded of for the rest of our lives.
Katie also photographed our engagement on Steps Beach, as well as my older Sister and brother in law's engagement + wedding weekend, all on Nantucket. It is so special that Katie has captured so many major life events my family over the past few years. My family loves and adores Katie as our photographer and friend! We feel so blessed to have met and gotten to know Katie and her beautiful family, and look forward to working with her again soon! :)

Lauren Sent on 12/20/2021Friendly, Fun & Fabulous Photographer!
When looking for an engagement and wedding photographer, we narrowed it down to a few on Nantucket, but when it came down to it, we loved Katie’s vibe and style the most! Katie has a comforting way about her and makes it so easy to talk to her about questions and concerns. When we arrived at our engagement photo shoot it was like meeting up with a friend-she made us so comfortable and made the experience so fun when it could easily have been awkward- and the photos turned out amazing!!!
After that, we were even more excited for our Wedding day and stayed in touch through the entire process. Katie is great at responding to all your random questions and she knows exactly how to handle everything. The day of our wedding Katie made us feel calm and relaxed and happy. We had become so close over the entire year long process that we were taking selfies together the day of the wedding because we love her so much! Feel confident in trusting Katie in her amazing skills and leave it up to her to figure out the best locations for your photos based on wind, lighting, background, etc. No matter how hard you try, the wedding day is always stressful with so much going on, but Katie was the one constant we didn’t have to stress about-she is a calming and cheerful spirit! We knew our wedding photos were in amazing hands and were going to turn out beautifully. Katie is an artist at what she does and we couldn’t be happier with how our special day was captured by Katie Kaizer Photography. We are in love with our photos and special memories and to top it all off we have a new friend! -

Truly Fantastic - The Very Best!!!
Katie Kaizer was absolutely amazing. Firstly, the pictures blew me and everyone who saw them away. Everyone agreed they were amongst the, if not THE, best wedding pics people had seen. Secondly, Katie is lovely. My spouse doesn’t love his pictures taken but we both agreed we want to book Katie to do more pics of us in the future as our family grows. When guests talked about the wedding afterwards many people commented on how great Katie was. She was warm, supportive and even provided suggestions as to the event location and set up to make sure we got the best pics. She got us our pictures in no time after the event. In short, I would strongly recommend her to anyone regardless of the type of event (large or small). -

Catherine Sent on 11/03/2021Katie is the BEST
While looking for a photographer for our 6/26/21 wedding at St. Mary's and Sankaty Beach Club, we were immediately drawn to the effortlessness of Katie's pictures. Nothing looked forced, and the personalities and the love of the couples she featured really came through. In our engagement photos and our wedding, Katie made us feel like ourselves. Our pictures all feel so natural, even the portraits. Our dance floor photos will be the photos I cherish the most. I somehow don't remember seeing Katie and her partner on the dancefloor, which is likely why they were able to get the most incredible shots. Photo after photo is filled with emotion, joy, and authenticity. Katie is the best!!!! -

Working with Katie was the BEST decision for our wedding day!
My husband and I got married in the Sconset Chapel with reception at the Nantucket Golf Club in July. Our cheeks hurt from SMILING reliving the best day through Katie’s photos. We are so thrilled with the joy and memories captured! Walking ’Sconset with Katie taking our photos was so much fun, she made us feel comfortable and captured our personality through the camera. She was also very flexible adjusting the schedule last minute to account for weather. We had calls with Katie leading up the the big day where she really got to know us and help us refine our vision for the day. Katie offered advise on location, timing and much more! It felt like working with a friend :) I cannot recommend Katie’s photography enough - I don’t know how we will ever pick favorites from all the fantastic moments she captured! -

Talented & Genuine! Highly Recommend.
To me, choosing a photographer was the most important part of my wedding planning journey and I really wanted to get it right. I was instantly drawn to Katie’s style and the way she captures moments that told a story versus typical bridal photos I’ve seen throughout my vendor hunt. During my initial call with Katie it wasn’t her work that won me over, more so that I felt instantly comfortable chatting with her and truly felt like she understood me and my vision. We confidently hired Katie for both our engagement session and our wedding and it was the best decision we made. She made myself and my fiancé so comfortable and it truly showed in all of the photos. There was literally not a single photo we didn’t love. We still have people telling us that our photos are the most beautiful they’ve seen, and I have to agree! I cannot recommend her enough; Katie will be my go-to recommendation and my 'forever photographer' for all my future celebrations and special moments. -

Perfect photographer for our intimate wedding celebration
Katie was absolutely wonderful to work with – from our first conversation, she conveyed her intention to get to know us as a couple, to understand our unique needs, and ultimately to capture elements of our wedding that were important to us both.
We had a small celebration planned that became even smaller as a result of COVID-19 and we balanced feelings of joy and anticipation with anxiety and uncertainty as we worked to ensure safety for everyone who would be with us on our wedding day. Katie offered flexibility and reassurance at every step of the way, and I was so appreciative of her guidance and generosity through the whole planning process. She gave us hours and hours of time in advance of the wedding, talking through ever-evolving plans and dreams via phone, email, and text. She was always extremely responsive and thorough in her communications and her genuine enthusiasm is contagious!
Not only is Katie clearly a seasoned professional when it comes to navigating the logistics of wedding planning, she also demonstrated her keen ability to adapt (and help us adapt!) with ease and grace to some extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances. Katie really went above and beyond in so many ways, stepping in to coordinate with various family members and vendors to help us pull the day off smoothly.
And what a day it was! I loved having Katie around throughout the day to touch base with – she gently (and effectively!) helped us stay on schedule and yet I somehow never felt rushed or pulled away from the intimacy of our celebration. When Katie sent a preview of the photos she had taken shortly after the wedding followed by the full gallery, we were blown away! We were incredibly grateful to be able to re-live so many special moments from the day – her photos are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives.

Heather Sent on 10/08/2020Unbelievable talent!!!
Where do I begin with Katie!? We had the pleasure of meeting Katie when she photographed our engagement session. We wanted to include our pup in our photos and love the way Katie captures dogs and families. Working with Katie was so easy and relaxed, we felt as if we had gained a new friend. She is so good with dogs, and helpful with advice on locations, outfits, time of day, and direction while taking photos.
We had to cancel our original wedding plans in Maine due to Covid, and decided to elope at home on Nantucket instead. Our first call was to Katie to make sure we could secure her for our wedding. We couldn’t feel more lucky to have been able to work with her on such a special occasion that had been quickly replanned. It was so important to us to have an album of beautiful photos to remember the day.
Upon receiving our album we were blown away with how much we loved each and every single photo. From the way Katie lights the photos, the natural tones, the framing, the way she captured our feelings and words during our ceremony and vows - we loved it all. They tell a story that we will forever cherish.
One of our favorite things about working with Katie is the way she naturally lights up with excitement and inspiration by the location and subject she’s shooting. The whole time we were all in awe of the beautiful day Nantucket had given us and we were eager to capture every moment of it’s perfection. Our wedding session was photographed all in 1 location, yet somehow she made it look as though we had travelled all over island. She captured our special moments as well as so many things that we love about this Island and it’s natural wonders.
In addition to blowing us away with her talent - Katie’s talent was recognized in an international contest! Katie won 2 awards from the National Wedding Photojournalist Association for photos from our wedding. Both photos captured very meaningful moments in our day and we are so very proud of her!!!
We feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Katie for two special moments in our life. She’s caring, compassionate and extremely talented! We highly recommend her. -

Hayley Sent on 06/26/2020A Trusted Photographer & Friend
First and foremost, we are beyond happy with our experience. She is incredibly thoughtful, flexible and amazing at her job. We are just reaching our 1-year anniversary and going through our photos was such a special way to reflect on the best day of our lives. And it's not just photos of people, it's photos of the incredibly special and intimate moments between family and friends that remind you why it's all so important.
We got married on Nantucket and our photographer search was focused on finding someone who knows the island and how quickly the weather comes and goes. She quickly showed that she was an expert when we had our engagement shoot. It was a true grey-lady day and, truthfully, we were pretty nervous. Low clouds and mist didn't seem like a recipe for success. But she had a plan. And this plan resulted in the most beautiful sunset picture that we will ever take. It is just breathtaking. In addition to that, our wedding day was met with the most epic storm that the island has seen in a while. In the middle of dancing, she quickly called out to my partners brother and needed us outside ASAP. And she somehow topped that breathtaking sunset photo from the engagement shoot. We honestly couldn't believe it - it was representative of so much.
We also had a secondary focus on someone who is comfortable with shooting an LGBTQ wedding. These kinds of days involve the same things as any other wedding but there is something really important about being able to photograph intimate moments between same-sex couples. We are so appreciative of not only her comfort but her genuine acceptance and celebration of us.
Another thing that we valued was her ability (and willingness) to understand family dynamics. We took a walk with our dogs on the beach a few days before the wedding and, aside from it being a great time to spend together as a group, she really took the time to learn about the who/what/why. And none of that was forgotten during the craziness that is a wedding day.
After the wedding, she sent us the most thoughtful package. It had prints of her selects packaged in the cutest box. She also included a thumb drive of the high-res photos. Opening and going through everything felt like Christmas morning. It also made for another great Instagram post because wedding content never ends :)
From the moment we first spoke to Katie, we knew right away this was the person we trusted. We couldn't be happier to not only have amazing photos from her but to call her a friend. And we can't wait to see her when we are back on the island next!

We are truly thankful that we found Katie! Her artistic eye, passion and talent, captured our special day and told the ‘story’ of our journey out to Great Point, Nantucket. The grasses, the clouds, the composition of the photos... all spectacular!

Above and beyond experience
Since starting to work with Katie for our engagement photos, she has been flexible, and fun to work with. She has been ale to capture our vibe, feelings, and emotions from early on in the engagement photos, through the wedding pictures. The wedding pictures absolutely take my breath away. They are not only stunning, but they captured the emotions that we were feeling that day and weekend. From my first look with dad, to standing on the altar exchanging vows with my now husband, I relive every feeling that I felt that day through what she has been able to capture in the photos. -

A creative, professional and compassionate photographer
We hired Katie for our small wedding ceremony August 10th at Ladies beach on Nantucket and could not imagine a better photographer to work with. She took stunning portraits using scenery, clothing, light and people in creative ways. She also captured heartfelt, spontaneous moments that we will cherish forever. She made sure to get to know us ahead of time so she could tell our story with compassion and authenticity. Katie was professional and very responsive with communication. We feel very lucky to have worked with such a kind, creative and skilled photographer! -

The best photographer ever
What can I say about Katie, she is simply the best. Katie captured our engagement and it only felt right to have her capture our wedding as well. Katie has the most beautiful soul inside and out and her ability to capture the pure joy and feeling of love is truly a talent that not a lot of photographers have. She is poised, efficient and most of all, she makes everyone feel comfortable. Katie truly cares about each couple and it shows through her gorgeous work. She and her partner Cary, were so professional and the connections they are able to make with their clients is truly what makes them so special. Katie's talent shines through her amazing photos. Not to mention, she is one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and am so honored to call her a friend. -

If one word could sum up Katie Kaizer it would be JOY. She absolutely radiates joy in every instance you encounter with her, which is of remarkable importance during very intimate moments where you could otherwise feel uncomfortable having someone there. Not only is she an amazing human to spend time with, she is responsive and professional and captures the most real tangible emotions through her images. Her photos of our engagement and wedding encapsulated the whirlwind of emotions so perfectly, and we are forever grateful! We couldn’t recommend Katie with higher regards- she is truly wonderful!! -

Laura Sent on 06/05/2019The best wedding photographer you'll hire!
We feel incredibly lucky that Katie Kaizer was able to photograph our wedding! She has a way of capturing people in real moments that we've never seen anyone else do before. Katie travelled to Ireland to shoot our NYE wedding & instantly became a part of the family. She brings such positive energy and makes everyone feel at complete ease. Katie went above and beyond to make sure that all the details of our day were captured. We couldn't have been more happy with our pictures. Each one is truly beautiful and captured the pure joy from our day.
We loved her work so much that we continued to hire her to photograph a week long trip around Ireland with our family & friends. Looking back, it was best investment and decision we made. We had so many incredible moments with people that we don't get to see very often and now we'll never forgot them.
Katie unobtrusively weaved her way around all of our events and trips to capture incredible shots. You can tell by looking at her face when she is working that every single shot is the most important one she'll capture. Katie gives it her all.
Thank you Katie for giving us the greatest gift of all, we'll never forget the most incredible time of our lives with your beautiful work.
Laura & Chris -

Incredible photographer
My wedding was on June 23, 2018, on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. Working with Katie Kaizer was an incredible experience. From the engagement photo shoot, through the shot list planning leading up to the wedding, to the wedding day itself and the quick turnaround of the edited pictures for social media and album creation, Katie was an amazing person to work with. Katie is a consummate professional: extremely responsive, with great intuition about our needs and also an incredibly artistic eye for the perfect shot. The photos that came out of the engagement shoot and the wedding were stunning. A couple specific things I'll mention about Katie that stuck out to my husband and me: one was her personal touch. We didn't like to have "kissy shots" or lots of "PDA" and Katie was very accommodating, making us feel very comfortable during the shoot so that they were personalized to us, and suggesting locations on Nantucket that were off the beaten path and that really evoked emotion for us. Second, Katie had an incredibly positive upbeat attitude throughout everything - it was actually raining on the day of our wedding and I was kind of worried, but Katie was so positive and quick-thinking, we completely changed our plans of where the pictures would be taken and they came out amazing. She has such a great eye for amazing shots - she captured my grandmother and other members of our family in such priceless moments. Highly highly recommend Katie!!!! -

Sarah Sent on 07/25/2018Katie Kaizer was (is) AMAZING! She was the most friendly, helpful, and easy-to-work with person. She offered us such great advice and worked closely with us throughout the year to ensure we were all on the same page of what we wanted. We spoke over the phone multiple times, and met up a few times prior to the wedding as well. She even met with us (and my whole family, piecemeal) a day prior to the wedding to check in, sync up on final details, iron out the timeline, and offer wisdom (and lots of positivity given our sketchy weather outlook). Day of, I was so appreciative to have her - she was not intrusive, but always there and supportive. She picked up on the vibes, read the room, and knew exactly what to deliver. She knew when to just do her thing and when to corral the troops to get group shots. She was totally on top of things so that we didn't have to worry about anything. The balance she struck was perfect. She is SO easygoing.
Aside from the wonderful experience we had with her, her photos are amazing - she really captures the feelings of the subjects, both in a more posed picture and a candid. She is also incredible at capturing light and movement. I loved everything about working with Katie (and her second shooter, Cary) and our parents and family loved them, too. We couldn't consider ourselves any luckier to have had such an amazing person to help celebrate and capture our day. I would HIGHLY recommend Katie Kaizer Photography to any and everyone - she is truly the best! -

She was very thoughtful about how we approached the big day and was sure to include absolutely everything I wanted. Throughout the entire wedding planning process and day of, Katie was so upbeat and cheerful, and my entire family and wedding party also loved her.

Angelina Sent on 10/17/2017Katie is incredible. She is very easy to work with and so fun to have around. She is very responsive and great at communicating. You feel so comfortable that you forget she's working and not just a friend or family. Our wedding elopement on the tiny remote island of Tuckernuck this past June was captured so perfectly. Having Katie join us for the day, taking our boat over to the little island, and having an easy going day with a bbq, games and some fishing with our family was the best decision we ever made. Our photos are perfect, she is so incredibly talented. Best decision !

Catie Sent on 11/13/2016There are not enough good things to say about Katie Kaizer Photography. If something could go wrong on a brides's wedding day, it did, but Katie was a reassuring voice on the other end of frantic phone calls. Her flexibility and professionalism are to be admired and hard to match. Katie was constantly in contact up to and including our wedding day. For example, we had to make a switch due to the weather and the day before the wedding Katie was able to talk me through shadows and the best positioning of the ceremony, one detail many brides are left to figure out on their own. Her advice and knowledge helped us with the decision to move the wedding with ease and she reduced our stress tremendously. Aside from our conversations about photos and shadows, Katie was encouraging, reassuring, and always one step ahead of a brides's fears (anticipating their worries with multiple solutions).
Katie took what we wanted and created memories that will forever be captured in the photos. Her and Kathryn captured more than we could have ever imagined- embracing the beauty of the windy/rainy weather and creating these beautiful photos we will cherish forever. For two people who are uncomfortable in front of the cameras, Katie and her team were able to capture these pure, genuine moments that captures everything that is us and our family/friends. We were overly impressed with her professionalism and talent.
