After booking with her, she sent a gift basket including vow books - such a special surprise! Katherine was always incredibly responsive. We enjoyed meeting at a local brewery to talk about wedding details and life updates! Once the wedding day came, Katherine was a shoulder to lean on, a bright smile at all the right times, and the first to offer a helpful piece of advice or answer to any question. Aside from how incredible Katherine is, her photography speaks for itself. She achieves natural emotion, and always made us feel at ease while taking photos. Our wedding photos are beyond our expectations, especially the black and white edits. Katherine even sent a ton of sneak
peaks while we were on our honeymoon, and sent our final gallery far earlier than expected. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without Katherine, and I would highly recommend her if your goal is to feel like your bestie is taking your picture all day!

 Katherine exceeded my expectations in every way.

- Amanda + Adrian

we hired Katherine for our wedding photography & she was awesome! She is so kind, enthusiastic and friendly. The most important thing was she made us feel like she was a friend taking photos of us, and not a stranger which made it a lot more comfortable and fun. On top of that, the pictures she takes are beautiful - bright and colorful like we wanted. The turnaround time was also very fast - she got sneak peeks to us a few days after the wedding and the entire album back to us within a month! We would highly recommend Katherine for any of your photography needs!

where to even begin...

 From the very beginning she was so friendly, wanted to learn all about my husband and I and helped us figure out a direction and timeline that would make our day the best ever. So not only was she so easy to deal with, our photos are a DREAM. We are so beyond happy with all of them and she was able to capture our day beautifully. Obsessed and would recommend her to anyone.

katherine was the best to work with!
