    Amazing photos!

    Katie photographed our wedding and did a FANTASTIC job!! Our wedding day was the day a tropical storm ripped through DC so husband and I were worried how the photographs would come out since we couldn't do many outside. Katie worked magic and made it look like a light drizzle rather than 40 miles winds and rain. From getting ready to ceremony and reception, we have a multitude of photographers of our wedding day to enjoy and cherish. And Katie and Serena did such a good job of blending in! We didn't really notice them once the ceremony started, and wow, they got amazing shots. Thank you for photographing our wedding, Katie!

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    We found Katie through our Venue and we were automatically in awe of her craft. Katie is incredible to work with, she uses natural lighting to really capture the love and energy in every shot. She did both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier. Katie was so responsive and made sure we had a timeline and plan in place with each session. We are so grateful for Katie and can't thank her enough!

    Highly recommend!

    Katie is just amazing! She was very helpful throughout our wedding planning. We had to reschedule our engagement session many times due to weather and Katie was super flexible! She was very quick responding to emails and the pictures turnaround was fast as well. We happened to have rain all day on our wedding day, but her team was amazing when it came to taking pictures outside on a pouring rain, and sometimes sneaking us out of the reception when the rain was lighter so we could get some portrait shots. Little is to say that the outdoor rainy pictures turned out to be amazing and we ended up loving that it rained on our wedding!! We would highly recommend Katie!

    Perfection

    Our experience with Katie was outstanding! From the moment I saw photos Katie had taken of a friend’s wedding, I knew she was the photographer we had to have capture our big day. We are absolutely blown away by how perfectly her photography shows the magic of our wedding. Katie brings an expertise and special touch to every photo and has a fantastic eye for detail and framing. Working with her and her second shooter, Travis, on our wedding day was so much fun! Both her and Travis' attention to detail and professionalism meant that we were able to relax and fully be in the moment. Katie’s professionalism, responsiveness, and attentiveness to the little details of the wedding day made the planning process completely seamless. She flew to Michigan to shoot our engagement photos and was kind and patient with us as we navigated the cold weather and wind. For months after receiving our engagement photos, we constantly marveled at how great a job Katie did with making us feel comfortable and relaxed to the point where you can’t even tell a little how cold it was! When we opted to postpone our wedding due to safety concerns during the height of the pandemic, Katie was understanding and quickly helped us reschedule. Katie was our top-choice vendor from day one, and we are so thankful and appreciative of the care she put into taking and editing our engagement and wedding photos. I recommend Katie to ANYONE who is seeking a professional photographer. We will cherish our wedding photos forever!

    Wonderful photography experience!

    I am so, so happy to have worked with Katie as our wedding photographer and highly recommend her to other couples! She was professional and communicative and took the time to clearly understand what my now-husband and I wanted for our engagement and wedding photos. As someone who feels awkward posing for photos, I really appreciated Katie’s clear guidance throughout both of our photo sessions. I felt comfortable all throughout, she gave us great directions on what to do, and I LOVE all the photos that we got back. I also want to thank Katie for her flexibility: like so many other couples getting married during the pandemic, we had to change our original plans, opting to get married in a very small at-home ceremony and pushing our larger celebration to a future date. Katie was so helpful throughout during the entire process - our first look photos are stunning despite the overcast weather we ended up having - and we are looking forward to working with her for a third time come next year!

    Fantastic!

    Katie and her second shooter Sarah were so great to work with! Katie captured our wedding day, and we loved having her calm, easy-going energy around. We haven’t gotten our photos back yet, but if you check out her website and Instagram, I am sure we will be in for a treat! The planning process was seamless, and Katie was more than accommodating for all our requests and needs. I highly recommend her for any special event or photoshoot!

    Katie’s photos help create the perfect memory of the day. We found out about Katie from a previous client and she made us feel comfortable and at-ease from our first initial meeting. Katie is an expert. This is shown in her ability to analyze a location and determine the best positions and spots for excellent pictures. Our wedding day was freezing, so Katie’s ability to get us in the best spots quickly was very much appreciated! Along with this, she doesn’t waste time on silly poses that she knows won’t be flattering or show you in the best light. Katie’s customer service is top-notch in terms of timeliness and professionalism. We would recommend her to anyone!

    I learned about Katie after seeing the wedding photos of a family member. I loved her light, fresh style and her candid photos, and knew I didn't need to look any further for a photographer.

    Katie was great to work with. She was very responsive, answering all of my questions and putting my mind at ease. She was willing to travel all the way to Maryland (6 hours!) for engagement photos and our wedding.

    Katie and second shooter/husband John were wonderful to work with and captured our day beautifully. They were professional and fun, making us feel so comfortable and keeping us on time through the day. She got us our photos in about 3 weeks and I absolutely love them. I cried reliving our day through her beautiful work.

    Thank you so much, Katie and John!

    Hiring Katie Nesbitt Photography was hands down the BEST decision my husband and I made when we were planning our wedding!! She captured every moment flawlessly and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera! Katie and John travelled all the way to Philadelphia for our engagement photos and MEXICO for our wedding!! The two of them fit right in with our families and made our entire wedding experience unforgettable. Katie's laid-back style and confidence were the two main reasons we hired her and we are SO THANKFUL we did! Katie and John truly care about their clients and their work is INCREDIBLE! Our family and friends continue to comment on our photos and I literally look through them EVERY day because I am 100% obsessed!!!! Thanks to Katie Nesbitt Photography, we now have priceless moments to look back on forever!!!

    Look no further for your wedding photographer! Katie is absolutely wonderful!!! After seeing such great reviews, we contacted Katie and was not disappointed. She was amazing from start to finish! We didn't live locally, so we set up a time to Skype in order to get to know each other! We were so impressed with how professional and helpful she was. She answered all of our questions, and got us super pumped about our pictures. We were first so thrilled with how our engagement pictures turned out... not to mention she was completely willing to travel in order to take them at the venue we had found. She and her husband make the cutest team, and they made us feel super comfortable with being in front of the camera. Our wedding day was the absolute icing on the cake! She went above and beyond to capture every special moment.. so creative and attentive to details that even our guests were commenting on it. Our pictures turned out AMAZING!!! Simply stunning! We are so very grateful to have found Katie, and will cherish our pictures for a lifetime to come. Would highly recommend to all!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie! We had several mishaps on our wedding day including terrible weather and me getting sick, but Katie rolled with all of the unexpected things to make sure that she and her husband John captured every one of our special moments. She even stayed later than planned after our original timeline got pushed back because of how sick I was. I loved working with Katie from the start - her relaxed, professional style throughout the process made me feel like I was in great hands and helped me to relax myself. I'd recommend Katie for any event - 5 stars all around!

    Katie is wonderful! I loved her photography style, and she met with us via Skype to see if we were a good fit (since you spend so much time the day of with them, you want someone you'll get along with!) . She was so flexible too - I had to cancel the day of our engagement shoot due to food poisoning, and she offered alternative dates for us. The day of our wedding, she and her husband John were so easy to get along with, were super professional, and had great suggestions. She mails you a gorgeous magazine once you've booked her with previous work of hers, and ideas and a sample day-of timeline. That timeline for shooting photos kept me SO organized- I was able to just pass it on to my wedding party. We had more than enough time for all the first look photos due to her schedule, so I actually had about half an hour to relax before the ceremony! She made sure we got every single photo we wanted, AND one of my bridesmaids kept saying how Katie "really knows her stuff!" because she kept giving us instructions on pose/bouquets/hand placement that would make us look our best that my friend wished her wedding photographer had done. Katie even gave us an adorable sneak peek of some of our pictures at the wedding reception, and when she had our gallery within a few weeks, it was AMAZING seeing all the small moments I had forgotten about that they had beautifully captured. She is so thoughtful, friendly, and a wonderful photographer. After seeing our gallery, my father-in-law said I was "spot-on" picking the photographer, but Katie and John deserve all the credit!!! Thank you!!!!

    Katie is amazing! She was our photographer just a couple weeks ago and we love all our pictures! I looked at a LOT of photographers before finding and booking her and she was, in my opinion, the most reasonably priced with the experience - I came across so many photographers who were clearly not worth what they were asking and I was starting to get frustrated before I found her! She's super professional, responsive, and her beautiful pictures speak for themselves! Hire her! :)

    One thing I appreciated was that she wasn't super intrusive on the wedding day. I'm a quiet person so too many people in my face all day makes me tense, but Katie was the perfect amount of "there." She talked to me and directed as needed and the rest of the time did her job and was great! We will cherish the pictures she took forever!

    I cannot rave enough about how awesome Katie was as our wedding photographer. She was incredible throughout our entire engagement, from the day we booked her to when we got home from our honeymoon.

    From the very beginning, Katie was extremely flexible with us and willing to work with us on what we wanted and needed. We really wanted to do engagement pics of sunrise with cherry blossoms in the background, which requires you to be there at the crack of dawn - and Katie was there for us at 6am, despite living 3 hours away and dealing with a challenging parking situation. Katie just rolled with it. Even though it was overcast that day and not sunny like we wanted, the engagement pictures still turned out amazing and we were able to use them for our save the date magnets.

    One of the things I really liked about having Katie as our wedding photographer is that she wasn't just our vendor, she was a person who I would want to hang out with and be friends with. She really took the time to get to know us personally and as a couple, and not just show up and take pictures and not talk to us again until the wedding got closer.

    Another really great thing I liked about Katie is her personal touches and extra surprises she would send that weren't included in our wedding package. Throughout our engagement, she sent us 3 fun packages of pics and goodies. Katie didn't have to do this for her, but these fun surprises and personal touches really made her one of our most amazing wedding vendors.

    The day of wedding photos came out AMAZING. Katie came to my house for getting ready pics and we did a first look session, formals, and then sunset pics. There are so many good pictures from that day that I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to frame! At the end of the day, you are left with the wedding pics, and I couldn't have imagined more perfect pictures and photographer than Katie.

    Katie is the BEST !!! Katie KNOWS what she is doing. She is so incredibly talented and professional. The photos are all insanely gorgeous and heartfelt and just perfect. My favorite thing is that she first arrives, walks around for about 20 minutes, and comes back and says, "K! I know where and when we are doing everything." ...even if she has never even been on site. She then collects your details, works her DAMN MAGIC, and runs the day like a pro. Like, literally runs the day. It amazes me what she does. I would recommend Katie to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Katie, thank you for everything!!!!!! <3

    Our photos are AMAZING! Katie and John did such an amazing jobs on both our engagement pictures and our wedding photographs. Both our engagement session and wedding were unseasonably hot but Katie managed to make us look like we weren't completely drenched in sweat. She was very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. We are so happy we went with them.

    I would recommend Katie Nesbitt Photography to any future bride. You will not be disappointed with what you get! Additionally, photography can be SO expensive, but with Katie the value of what you receive for the cost is incomparable to other photographers. Katie shoots with her husband, John, which is awesome to have a second photographer at no extra cost, and she traveled for both our engagement and wedding!

    Katie came recommended to us from a friend who is a photographer and we couldn't have been happier. She is a pleasure to work with and the photos are stunning! While we live in DC and Katie's a few hours away, it was easy to communicate with her over email and we used Skype to set up a consultation call. She and her husband John drove up for our engagement shoot and it was great to meet them ahead of the wedding.

    Katie was fantastic to work with for the wedding, making sure she took the family portraits we hoped to get, and taking some truly amazing photographs -- we got a sneak peak of them during the reception since we shot them before the ceremony, and Katie had them rotating on a small slideshow during the dancing for guests to see -- Amazing turn around!

    I highly recommend Katie Nesbitt!

    Katie was recommended to me by a photographer who I liked but was booked on our wedding date. I love the hundreds of photos Katie took of my wedding. She and her husband shot 7 hours of our wedding and got photos of everything from the setting and decor, formals, food, dancing, etc. To be honest, I don't even remember Katie being at the wedding while it was going on, but whenever we needed her for a specific shot she was there. I also like that she gave us a final selection that culled the best shots, not many duplicates of the exact same shot or pictures with people's eyes closed. It was also very important that we own and download the high resolution images. She got the images to us in 3 weeks. Katie was very helpful in setting up a smaller number of favorite photos we could share with family and friends via a website link.

    Since we were not local, we did Skype calls with Katie beforehand. We also didn't do an engagement photo session, but I wish we had so we could get used to being in front of the camera and what angles, smiles, etc we liked of ourselves.

    I can't say enough great things about Katie Nesbitt Photography, other than the fact that her work speaks for itself.

    Our wedding was especially challenging as it was quite cold and windy that day. Nevertheless, Katie embraced the elements, the extremely bright sunlight and delivered high quality photographs. After our wedding, so many people complemented us on our photos. Some even stating the photographs were of magazine quality.

    Although she is based in Newport News, she travels for her clients! We live in central Virginia, but got married in Hampton Roads. Katie traveled to Richmond for our engagement session and then again for our ceremony in Virginia Beach. It made planning so much easier with such an accommodating photographer.

    Katie is a joy to work with, so fun, funny and truly talented. Without question, Katie is my photographer for life! I would recommend Katie Nesbitt Photography to any future bride in Virginia. You will not be disappointed.

    Katie is an awesome photographer. My wife and I were randomly searching on weddingbee.com for an affordable photographer and we really lucked out. We saw Katie's posting and then viewed her website. She didn't have a lot of photos displayed at the time but the ones she did have looked pretty good. I knew she was just starting out and so I was happy to help her build her portfolio. As it turns out, she's a REALLY good photographer. I'm a fairly ugly guy and she somehow made me look good. I was very impressed with both our engagement photos, wedding photos, and Katie's professionalism. I would highly recommend her for any formal or casual event.

    Katie is one of the most "down to earth" people we have ever met. Not only was she flexible in regards to meeting us for our consultation, but she had a lot of awesome ideas about our engagement location. She is very knowledgable about her location, because we are from a different state it really helped out. During our engagement shoot, she made us feel completely comfortable. We felt like we were talking to a long time friend, not someone that we saw first saw a few weeks ago. Without question, her sense of composition and lighting is what sets her apart from other photographers. Our friends and family are always astonished how our pictures turned out. In a market that is flooded with photographers, if you want a contemporary, hardworking and reliable photographer, Katie is where it is at!!!!

    We found Katie by chance. We were looking for a particular style and we luckily found her through another photographer's reference. At our initial meeting, Katie was super professional but definitely put my husband and I at ease. She was very organized and you could tell really knew her stuff. There is a real balance to the way she works between managing the shoot and being open for perfectly natural shot. Not only did she help us work through challenges like heat but she also gave us some simply gorgeous shots. And you would never have known we were married on the hottest day of the year. She has a real eye for capturing those tender moments and flirtatious smiles. Hopefully I will never be married again but if I do I would totally hire her again. Thanks Katie!

    P.S. Katie also did some family portrait and shots of our 2 month old baby. You would never know she had never shot a baby, she adapted quickly and was so easy going. We have so many beautiful shots I don't know what to do. Now that is a good problem to have!

    Katie was wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating to the fact that we had 3 different wedding ceremonies over 2 days! She called and emailed me several times to go over logistics and was very helpful in sharing advice on what types of pictures/portraits to take. My family is big and can be hectic, but Katie kept her cool and remained focused and professional both days! The pictures turned out great, and arrived sooner than expected in really cute packaging. I would absolutely recommend her to my family and friends!
