    Highly Recommend!!

    Katie was incredible to work with and we absolutely loved how beautiful our photos turned out. She did both of our engagement and wedding pictures, capturing all of those special moments. She created a timeline for photos on wedding day which made things stress free for everyone!! She was super accommodating for any last minute changes and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Katie truly cares about her clients.

    Stunning Photos and an Even Better Experience

    We absolutely LOVED working with Katie! We had the honor of being in two weddings where she was the photographer, and after seeing her in action, we knew ours wouldn't be complete without her. From the moment we reached out through receiving our final gallery, the entire process was seamless. She made everything easy to understand and helped us build a timeline that allowed for every photo we wanted. Her experience in the wedding industry and her calm, confident presence made such a difference on our day!

    Our engagement shoot was the perfect chance to get comfortable with each other, and by the time the wedding came, we felt confident sharing our vision and she brought it to life beautifully! We felt heard and supported every step of the way. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and it has been weeks since our wedding and we are still getting compliments on both the photos and Katie herself. She is warm, easy to work with, and brought such a fun and positive energy to the entire experience. We cannot recommend her enough!

    You’re In Good Hands!

    It’s our 1 year anniversary and we’re still so grateful we chose Katie! She held the whole day together. Katie knows how to balance stepping up and taking charge while also remaining behind-the-scenes. She delivers back so many photos I still feel like they’re new to me 1 year later! You’ll feel comfortable with Katie right away starting with your engagement session shoot. You’re in good hands! Thank you again!!

    Perfect + Amazing!!

    Katie was absolutely amazing to work with!! From the very first communications we had with her both online, in person and over the phone she was professional, kind, excited and passionate about what she does! She went above and beyond when it came to answering any questions we had and even helped create our day of timeline!! Her work is stunning and she captured our love and the day of our dreams so perfectly. I was over the moon happy when we saw our sneak peaks and I cannot wait for the rest!! I’m so honored Katie was a part of our day and I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone!!

    Great wedding photographer

    We hired Katie for our wedding in May 2023 and we were so happy with her! She captured our day beautifully and I would highly recommend her for wedding photography. She was there with me every step of the way; advising and sharing her experience and best practices. She was such a pleasure to work with, very prompt and responsive. Highly recommend!

    OUTSTANDING Engagement Photo Session

    I cant say enough good things about our experience with Katie. She was absolutely wonderful to work with!! She was kind, made us laugh, and worked absolute magic on our pictures!! I was so bummed that she was already booked with another couple for our wedding day but these engagement pics I will treasure forever! She knows great locations to give you incredible photos and shes just an all around fun person! Thank you Katie for going above and beyond my expectations!!

    Great experience!

    We had the best experience with Kate as our photographer. She did both our engagement session and our destination wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results! Katie went above and beyond and kept our wedding day on track. Cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing Amazing Amazing

    Words alone cannot describe how amazing Katie was from our engagement photos to our wedding day. Communication pre-wedding day was phenomenal, and coordination on our big day was even better. I had numerous family members tell me, "Your photographer was amazing! Without her, there is no way the day would have been so smooth." Thank you Katie for documenting our day so beautifully, and for so so much more!

    Top Photographer in Des Moines Iowa Area

    Katie is truly amazing! She takes the time to really understand her clients and their desires to capture their special day. Katie is extremely organized, detailed, prepared and passionate. She views her work as an expression of art and wants to ensure her clients are the focus to capture the moments. I could not be more impressed and pleased with Katie and would highly recommend her!

    Wedding/Engagement photos

    Katie is an amazing person and a wonderful photographer. She captured our love for one another in a way that I didn't think was possible! During the wedding photos, she made sure I had plenty of water in between shots (it was super hot) and that I was feeling okay. She also made sure we stuck to our timeline and captured such amazing photos that I will cherish for the rest of my life. If you are stuck in the middle when it comes to your photographer; PICK HER!

    Katie is the best!

    We had such a great experience working with Katie! She is so kind, talented, and accommodating. She was great about communicating and planning with us in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and she worked so hard to capture every moment on our big day. The photos she took take out beautifully, and we love every single one. Can't recommend Katie enough!

    Couldn’t be happier!

    I can’t say enough about how great Katie and her team is to work with. From capturing our proposal, to engagement photos and wedding, Katie has been with us through it all; and there’s no one else I’d rather have there to capture all of our special moments this far. She has a way of bringing out the fun in taking photos, making you feel extra special and comfortable every step of the way. Katie’s personality shines in her interactions with you, your family, guests and additional vendors making it easy to relax knowing that everything is under control on your wedding day.
    I look forward to having Katie by our side in all of our future photography needs!

    200% satisfied!

    If you are searching for an engagement photographer (or wedding), just stop searching and contact Katie. I looked at a lot of photographers in Iowa, but I don't think my fiance and I could have made a better choice. We had to reschedule our session due to COVID-19, and Katie was more than willing to be flexible and work with us. Our actual session was a lot of fun, and we absolutely love all of our photos! We are especially grateful because these engagement pictures are going to serve as wedding pictures for us, since we are not having a traditional wedding ceremony. You won't regret choosing Picturesque Photography :).

    Great for a first time picture taking couple!

    Jordan and I are extremely lucky we stumbled upon Katie and her business. We were looking for a photographer and someone had recommended her, after a few emails we felt set! We just got our photos done and they're great! We've never done any pictures before like this and we love them! I would recommend Katie to anyone at any time!

    Brilliant Photographer!

    I feel extremely awkward when taking photos and my fiance is very shy so I knew I had to find someone both of us could connect with that would make us feel comfortable. Katie has an amazing personality and when I met her I knew we had to hire her! She really knows how to make couples feel comfortable and we had so much fun! Our engagement photos turned out better than I ever expected they could. Katie has brilliant ideas while in the moment and it was fun to watch her creative mind work and see them come to life. I can't wait until our wedding and to see the fantastic photos she will take.

    Amazing!!!

    Katie did an AMAZING job! We had so much fun during our session. She did a great job at making us instantly feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped with every pose. She also had a fantastic turn around time with getting our gallery to us. Highly recommend using Katie for your photo session!

    Katie is amazing!

    Katie did such a great job on our engagement and wedding photos! She’s so fun to work with and really knows what she’s doing. It didn’t feel like we were doing a photo shoot - it felt like we were just goofing around and having fun. Because of this the pictures look natural and laid back. She also gets back really quick with sneak peeks, which was great for us because we were sooo excited to see our pictures. I highly recommend Picturesque Photography - 5 Stars. :)
