    The best of the best

    Katie was the first vendor we booked and for good reason - she is the absolute best of the best!!!! Do not sleep on hiring Katie - you will not regret it. Her photography speaks for itself, but beyond that she is so organized, thoughtful, trustworthy, and incredible to work with. She really got to know us as a couple, listened to what was important to us, and helped us execute our many wishes in a tight timeframe. Most importantly, she made us so comfortable and it truly shows in the photos. I will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever.

    The best Wedding Photographer

    I discovered Katie through a Google search for "Notre Dame Wedding Photographer" and was immediately captivated by her stunning portfolio. Little did I realize how fortunate I was to have stumbled upon her work. Katie beautifully captured our engagement photos at Notre Dame, and from that moment on, I knew I wanted her to be the one to document our wedding in Cape Cod, MA. Thankfully, she was available and willing to travel for our special weekend.

    Katie played an indispensable role throughout our wedding festivities, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we captured every cherished moment efficiently. Her dedication ensured that we had the most extraordinary wedding day, brimming with unforgettable memories.

    From the outset of the wedding planning process, Katie exhibited a proactive approach, anticipating our needs and attentively addressing every detail leading up to the big day. We were particularly impressed by her swift delivery of our wedding photos, which arrived within two weeks. Not only did she exceed our expectations in terms of turnaround time, but the photos themselves are absolutely stunning, capturing the essence of our special day in the most beautiful way possible.

    We were so impressed that we hired Katie again for my sister-in-law's wedding, and once more, she delivered a flawless experience. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough.

    Amazing experience from start to finish!

    Katie is incredible to work with. She's so talented, organized, and detail oriented. She cares so deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond for them. We can't recommend her more highly!

    The Best Choice You'll Make for Your Wedding Day

    Hiring Katie and Chris to photograph our wedding at the Basilica is by far the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning. Katie is like a wedding fairy godmother who makes everything happen exactly the way you want it at your wedding. Katie and Chris are so kind and friendly, and it was so easy for us to be natural around them and not feel overly posed in our photos. Every picture turned out perfect, and now we have hundreds of beautiful images of every detail of the day. Wedding photos are so important because they define how you remember your day, and especially in a pandemic when many people we love only saw our wedding through photos. It was worth every penny -- in fact, I expected to pay a lot more for such high quality. Can't say enough about what a great wedding photographer Katie Whitcomb is!

    The Best Decision You Can Make!

    I cannot recommend Katie Whitcomb Photography enough to capture your wedding day! Katie is professional, organized, creative, and a true fairy godmother. She takes all of the stress out of wedding planning, gets to know each couple she shoots individually to capture their unique love story, and creates the most stunning images. Booking Katie Whitcomb Photography for a wedding is the best decision you can make!!

    Katie is the best!

    My wedding would not have been the same without Katie. Before the wedding even happened we had 4 phone calls to discuss timelines, music, pictures we wanted, etc. She put together our entire timeline and made sure I didn't forget a thing. I felt like she wasn't just my Photographer, but my Wedding Planner and Maid of Honor. Even more, my parents and brother couldn't attend due to COVID and she was sure to make them included digitally every step of the way. She kept us on time, didn't forget a single request we had, didn't seem frazzled at all/helped me chill out and was honestly the reason our day went so smoothly. HIRE HER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    Best Vendor Ever

    Beside saying yes to my husband, hiring Katie and Chris was the single best wedding planning decision I made. My father even thanked her by name first thing in his speech. Not only are our pictures absolutely stunning, every moment perfectly captured, and every detail documented, but Katie brings a presence of peace and joy to the entire wedding process. We had to postpone, then change our venue 9 days before our wedding, and Katie was a true friend and confidant through it all. I don’t have enough words to thank her and Chris for making our day as beautiful and special as we had ever dreamed despite all the challenges. Our guests were wowed even before they saw the pictures. From buttoning a dress in 30 seconds to giving my husband a granola bar in the church because he hadn’t eaten anything to making our bridal party have so much fun taking pictures, Katie and Chris were the cornerstone vendor in our wedding. I could write a book, but suffice it to say—you will be so glad you hired this beautiful couple for more reasons than you could possibly know.

    The BEST Vendor You Can Hire - Book Her NOW!

    Katie Whitcomb was the first (and best) vendor that we booked for our wedding 2+ years out. Had we not had Katie there to help us throughout the process, down to the hours before wedding day, we would have never pulled off such a successful day. If you are lucky enough to book Katie, you will receive not only the best photos you could ask for, but step by step direction for timeline planning, photo locations and overall reassurance that she will do anything to make it the best day ever. Katie was there for us every step of the way, especially when a global pandemic came into play, and went out of her way to make it run beautifully and smoothly.
    Beyond how amazing Katie is as a person, her work is INCREDIBLE! We received a sneak peek the next day, a full blog post by the end of the week and the FULL online album within 3 weeks. I go through all of our photos at least once a week to relive the day because she captured each and every part of it. We are still receiving so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful her photos are. Oh and she send you the cutest gifts along the way – how nice!
    We will never be able to thank Katie for all that she did for us, we are lucky enough to consider her a great friend after the process! Book her EARLY and FAST!!! You will not regret it.

    Highly recommend!

    Katie and Chris are fantastic! From start to finish, they were always very professional and thoughtful, and we are so thrilled with how they captured our wedding day. My favorite thing about their work is how they are able to capture the personality of the couples through their photos. They do a great job in getting to know the couple and knowing what the couple wants out of the day; and then they are also so business-like and professional in making that happen. (It often felt like Katie was doubling as wedding coordinator, making sure the schedule was feasible and keeping everyone on track!)

    I highly recommend Katie Whitcomb for your photography needs! We will be treasuring her photos for the rest of our lives!

    Best photographer experience ever!

    Katie photographed our wedding a month ago. She did such a wonderful job on the pictures. She's really nice and great to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and even though you do pose for pictures she makes it feel pretty natural. She’s really organized and she was super helpful before the wedding too. I got a lot of comments from my bridesmaids, family and some other guests on how nice and great Katie is. Also, everyone loves our wedding photos. She really does everything she can to help your dream wedding and dream photos come true. Hiring her for the photos was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
    I highly recommend you check out her website and blog to see her work!

    I honestly can't say enough good things about Katie Whitcomb. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and can handle anything. She takes the most stunning photos and knows all the best spots on Notre Dame's campus. Plus she goes above about beyond for her clients. She even sewed the hem of my dress for me when I ripped it walking to the ceremony and gave me a cool towel when I nearly fainted due to heat exhaustion on the football field. Best of all, she shared a few photos with us before my husband left for military training less than a week after our wedding. This way he could see some photos before he left. You will not be disappointed if you hire Katie to be your photographer.

    Once we secured the Basilica and time for the wedding ceremony for our daughter’s wedding at Notre Dame, the very first person we contracted with was Katie Whitcomb. Katie works with her husband Chris and together they make an exceptional team. Although I had a lot of interaction with Katie in the months leading up to the wedding, I never actually met Katie until the day of the wedding. Katie is a very hard working pro in the true sense of the word (she was there from 9am to midnight the day of the wedding) and although this father of the bride can push the limit at times, Katie always worked with us and the end result was just breathtaking. I have worked with many photographers in my line of work that are prima donnas, but that’s not Katie’s style. Whatever you do as soon as you know your wedding date, make sure you contract with Katie. I promise you that you won’t regret it and it will be one of the best decisions for your wedding you make!

    We used Katie for our engagement pics and our wedding. I loved that she was willing to come up to Chicago for the engagement pictures--which also gave us a chance to get to know her better before the wedding! We had great communication with her throughout, and she event surprised us with some gifts along the way! We loved Katie & Chris' shots from the day of...helping to preserve our memories of a whirlwind day!

    We had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful vendors for our wedding in South Bend, but Katie was our favorite! Not only did she do an exceptional job capturing our day, but she provided us with invaluable recommendations on other vendors, our timeline, and other day of items we wouldn't have thought of. She has the taglines 'joyful' and 'authentic' on her website...she exemplifies these characteristics completely in her personality and her photography. She does a fantastic job creating "candid" moments, so our photographs did not appear staged or overly formal. When we were looking for photographers, my husband and I initially did not consider the benefit of having 2 photographers. It was wonderful having both Katie and Chris to ensure we got photos of both the bridesmaids and groomsmen getting ready as well as have someone to photograph the details at the reception while Katie photographed the bridal party after the ceremony. Katie is a down to earth, truly gifted photographer who is willing to go the extra mile for her brides. You will not be disappointed with her as your photographer!

    Katie did a couples session with me and my husband in Chicago and it was amazing! She was very organized and easy to work with! She is very responsive and good with communicating. We had so much fun with her taking photos along Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago! She has done several of our friends wedding photos and engagement photos and I would definitely recommend her!!!

    Katie and Chris were absolutely wonderful to work with, they were very professional and the quality of our photos were amazing. They captured all the moments that mean the most to me - and we were so happy they were available! They are by far the best photographers in the South Bend area and hope to use them in the future for other sessions :)

    Katie and Chris were incredible! I found them online just by looking through pictures from different photographers. Unlike other photographers, you can feel the emotion in her pictures and she really captures the feelings of the day. But anyone can see for themselves that Katie is incredibly talented. What you can't see from a website is how awesome she is to work with. She moved her schedule around for us for our engagement session since we only had limited time in South Bend. On wedding day she was with me all day (Chris joined my husband around 1 since he doesn't take as long to get ready) and not only took pictures of everything but even helped me get ready. Her pictures were beautiful and then she voluntarily (at no extra charge) stayed an extra hour or two to set up a photobooth for our guests to take fun pictures. Voluntarily! We had so much fun with her and she did such an amazing job. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone getting married around South Bend. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

    Katie Whitcomb Photographers was our favorite wedding vendor! Katie and Chris take creative but classic pictures that you can display proudly forever. They really work with you to take the perfect pictures for you as a couple. I felt like Katie was not only a vendor but also a friend, and I would recommend them to anyone getting married! We are planning on having them take our family portraits in the future as well! I could not have been happier with our photos! Katie Whitcomb Photographers is really the whole package!

    I am so happy that I picked Katie & Chris to do our engagement & wedding Photography. I would highly recommend them to any future bride or groom! Katie was very responsive anytime I had any questions or concerns, which helps when you have so much more to worry about. Also the online proofing which they do through email was so easy, and it helped to get everything done faster.
    On the wedding day they both showed up early, and Katie did a awesome job calming me down and keeping me smiling. (even Chris helped calm me down :) about my reception flowers, since I didn't get to see them, and he had already taken the detail shots)
    They would be a excellent choice for not just wedding photography but any type of photography needs anyone would have.

    We found Katie Whitcomb during a search for good area photography. Her photos spoke to me at once; the emotion is very beautifully captured in each image. We had engagement photography done in the fall of 2009, followed by wedding photos in June of 2010. We were so immensely pleased with these photos that I had a boudor session done with Katie in 2012 before moving across the country. Now that we are back, Katie will be doing a portrait session for our two-year-old son. I wouldn't trust our family's professional photography to anyone else. Katie is very talented and wonderful to work with. We are so grateful for all the beautiful images we have from Katie of our lives' most special times. I look forward to working with her again! Highly, highly recommend.

    This was my favorite vendor. Katie is easy to work with and very helpful. They delivered on every promised and even went above and beyond in helping with our schedule of wedding day events. The package price was responible. We get to keep all our images and they will be given to us on a portable hard drive.
    I like the photojournalist style of photography with a lot of candid's so they worked out perfectly for me. They are very in tune with modern photography and digital effects, plus I loved how all of our stuff is online and easily accessible. I just loved having two photographers and I never knew they were there, until something funny happened and I turned to look for them and there they were!
