HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Katie! She does such a great job of not only capturing your day but also helping out. My bustle ripped during the ceremony and Katie and Jenna (second photo...
grapher) took the time to sew it back together. Katie's energy and professionalism really shows as she does her job and you can see how passionate she is. We have not gotten all of our photos back yet but just from seeing the previews I am in LOVE! I knew I could trust Katie's creative eye and did not feel the need to chime in with any pose ideas and she had it covered. If you choose Katie for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.
My husband and I highly recommend Blu Photography & Design! Katie definitely exceeded everything! Our engagement photos and wedding photos were excellent! She has been so responsiv...
e and made the process so easy. If you are newly engaged and not sure which photography to use then go with Blu Photography & Design!
I highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She did an amazing job with the photos and the wedding book she made for us was absolutely stunning
Katie is the BEST photographer EVER! We met her at the Madison wedding expo and we are so happy to have found her for our wedding. She was so responsive from the beginning and I f...
elt like I had a wedding planner, coordinator and photographer all in one. She checked in with me multiple times and was always willing to have a meeting to discuss anything wedding related. When it came to the day of the wedding, she handled everything so seamlessly. When I had a breakdown about the rain on my wedding day, she made sure the back up plan was all set in place and made everything magical. Katie is so talented and our photos are better than anything I could have ever imagined. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Katie is an absolute rockstar. She captured our wedding so beautifully and was truly incredible to work with. She is so easy to be around and all of my guests LOVED being photograp...
hed by her. She had great connections to my wedding party and it felt so natural for her to be around at our wedding. Capturing personal photos with her wasn't awkward in the slightest and she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful.
Our wedding photos are PHENOMENAL and even more than I could have ever expected. She delivered our photos incredibly fast (like faster than any other wedding photographer I have ever heard of). She responds to emails so quickly and is such a trusted vendor for your big day. I was a fairly anxious and nervous bride in general but I never ever questioned or worried about Katie.
I absolutely recommend working with her and would choose her over again 1000 out of 1000 times.
Katie photographed our wedding in August 2021 (and our engagement photos last fall). She did such a great job making everybody feel comfortable and her photos are excellent. She we...
nt above and beyond with the small things that are not expected in a photographer (helping with bouts, holding my dress when we were walking to photo locations). We had to scramble because of rain and our photos were outdoors, but she handled it like a true professional and we got everything done that we wanted. I truly can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a wedding photographer!
Katie is an absolute joy to work with and a true professional. We have her booked for our wedding in June 2022 and just did our engagement session with her. She had our photos back...
to us SO fast, I couldn't believe it! She was extremely flexible with the date and time for our engagement session which was great because we were able to adjust around the weather. I love candid photos which was what drew me to Katie in the first place, and she delivered! My partner and I are not comfortable in front of a camera, but she made the session comfortable and fun. Her pictures really capture our relationship rather than just being posed photos with forced smiles. My partner and I cannot stop looking at these photos and we are even more excited for our wedding knowing that Katie will be our photographer. Truly cannot recommend her enough!
We booked Katie for a bundled package that included both engagement photos and wedding photos. Katie is THE BEST! She was helpful with all of the questions we had along the way, an...
d she was very flexible when it came to scheduling the engagement photos, planning the wedding day photo timeline, etc. She helped bring out real smiles in our photos and encouraged us to be our normal selves (so we wouldn't look too pose-y). We absolutely LOVED the work she did for us! The photos turned out amazing. I also like that she does sneak peeks of her work (she did for both our engagement photos and wedding photos) because of course we were very excited to see how they turned out!
Our wedding venue closed about 5 months prior to our wedding, and when I told Katie about it, she did everything she could to help. She reached out to her fellow wedding contacts (other photographers, venues she had worked with in the past, Facebook groups, etc.) to help us find a different venue that was available for our wedding date. In fact, the venue we ended up choosing was one that she had put us in contact with, and we actually found that we liked it even more than the one we had booked that had closed!
My only complaint is minor: her usual turn-around time for wedding photos is about 3 weeks, but it's been about 5 weeks since our wedding and we still haven't gotten them back yet. However, I do know that she was incredibly busy in June, and of course my husband and I are understanding. We're just excited to see them :)
Katie was AMAZING!! Everything we could have asked for, she gave it! Our pictures looked like they should be placed in a magazine! She was so sweet, nice, professional, accommodati...
ng, genuine, organized! I could go on for days! We definitely made the right choice choosing Blu Photography for our Engagement and Wedding photos!
Katie is not just an amazing photographer, but also an amazing person. If you want a photographer that doesn't just tell you how to pose for every photo and captures a lot of cand...
id moments you need look no further. She is such a down to earth person and honestly she was just so calm all day that it made me calm. She just went with the flow and may have gave Kris and I some lead on what to do in some pictures, but others she was more so like act like I am not here and just be yourselves, which turned out to be some of the best pictures. She had brought her brother Bob as her second and he was just as amazing! He even helped get all of the boutonnieres on the guys and made sure even the females had all of their flowers. At the reception if guests asked if they could take a picture with me with their phone Bob was right there also capturing the photo for us. Going off of that not only did they capture a ton of pictures of Kris and I and our wedding party they also captured a lot of pictures of our guests, which was very important to me. Katie had Kris and I make her a list of every photo we for sure wanted that day and she made sure all of those photos happened. I would recommend Katie to anyone.
Our pictures turned out amazing. I couldn't imagine having anyone else as my photographer. Katie is wonderful and gets fully involved with her clients. She is not afraid of new adv...
entures, such as riding in a horse trailer to go bar hopping. She also was not afraid to take on the rowdy group of men in my wedding party. I would highly recommend her services.
Katie is phenomenal! Our wedding day was easily the hottest of the summer. Katie was so professional and efficient taking our group photos after the wedding. We were able to get so...
many memories captured and get back into the air conditioning quickly. We've had so many family members compliment how beautiful our pictures turned out. Thank you, Katie, for capturing our day better than I ever could have hoped for!
Katie has been doing our family wedding photos since 2015 and I was the last family member to get married this year!! She does a phenomenal Job! I absolutely love my engagement an...
d wedding photos! She did a great job in catching the moments and helping us relax as a couple! She got every detail of our country wedding. The tractors, cows and our barn! We had our reception in our brand new heifer shed on my family farm and she and her brother got every detail of decoration at our reception! She is the best and does awesome work!
My husband and I LOVED working with Katie! She's fun to be around and really is amazing at what she does! We did our engagement photos, wedding photos and a boudoir photo shoot thr...
ough her and everything came out looking fantastic. She has a quick turnaround time for getting photos back to you. She honestly really helped the wedding day in general run very smoothly and she made sure we got all the photos we had said we wanted captured. She also has very good ideas/suggestions for poses or fun things to try for photos. We did somewhat of an unorthodox engagement photo session and she really helped us make that idea come to life and turn out amazing!!!
We can’t say enough great things about Katie! From having a ton of fun with her doing our engagement photos to having her capture all of the amazing moments at our wedding.! Katie ...
made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know us as a couple. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible photographer!
Simply stated, I could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! Katie goes the extra mile, not only to get awesome shots throughout the day, but also behind the scene...
s. She kept going back and forth between our separated guy/girl buildings to keep us all on the same page and to keep our wedding day running smoothly. Katie really kept me calm during some stressful moments of the day too. She really knows what she's doing in taking photos and is so awesome to work with. She has a way of capturing those special moments, small details and candid photos unlike other photographers. Those are the photos you want to look back on forever, and I am so glad I have them. The turnaround time was so quick and the photo quality is insane. Thank you Katie for all of your work! We are so glad you were able to capture all of the small details, memorable moments, and all of the smiles from our wedding. I cannot wait to look back on our photos years from now! Whenever someone is looking for a photographer, I know exactly what to tell them!
We haven't even seen all the pictures yet and all I can say is WOW. Katie is PHENOMENAL. She walked us through everything and took some AMAZING pictures. I literally cannot say eno...
ugh good things! We are so thankful she was able to be a part of our big day and capture all the special moments! I cannot wait to see all the other pictures she took!
Where do I even begin? Everything Katie and her team do is simply the best, truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my wedding. My husband and I really were looking...
for someone to help us with picture ideas and making sure we captured all the moments on our special day. Katie went above and beyond our expectations, one of our favorite moments from our day was the time we had prior to our reception just Katie and us taking pictures around our reception venue. It was truly that special moment every husband and wife look forward to on their special day, a moment to take everything in and just enjoy each other while doing so. Some of our favorite pictures were taken during this time with Katie. Another one of our favorite things about having Katie as our photographer was the photo ornament she shipped us (completely unexpected), to help us celebrate our first Christmas together. Literally was our favorite Christmas gift and was so thoughtful!!!
Katie, you made our day so special and we cannot thank you enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I am so happy we choose Blu Photography for our engagement/wedding photography. Katie did a great job at capturing our special moments and at such a reasonable price point! I was a...
lso extremely happy with the turnaround time. She was able to get us our entire wedding album to view in less than 3 weeks even during her busiest season! That meant a lot to me. I hope to work with her more in the future!
Katie not only does a phenomenal job but is so fantastic to work with! After seeing her work at our friend's wedding we knew she was the perfect photographer for us. During our eng...
agement photo shoot she helped us scope out awesome locations and made us feel so comfortable. Leading up to our wedding day she promptly answered all my questions, calmed all my fears, and came a couple days before to finalize the details in person. On our wedding day she kept her calm through all the crazy and still managed to capture the most amazing pictures. Katie is so personable and really gets to know her clients which makes her so fantastic to work with. Looking through our photos she was able to capture everything so perfectly, from our emotions to all the little details. In addition to working with her on our wedding day I also worked with Katie on a boudoir photo shoot as a wedding present for my husband. I definitely was nervous before we started but Katie made everything so relaxed and even met with me afterwards to let me assist in designing the book. In the future, she definitely is the first person we would contact for all of our photos.
Katie is fabulous and I feel so fortunate to have worked with her over the years. Katie was nothing but accommodating when it came to anything including engagement pictures and wor...
king around the weather to last minute details on the big day! I have to give credit to Katie for being the only one to keep my sane on our wedding day! We had spent hours scoping out the perfect spots to take pictures for the big day just to find the day of that our (maybe a little too rustic) barn had completely collapsed! Katie kept her, and my cool and found something equally as beautiful right down the road to take pictures. Fast forward 1.5 years and she was the first person I contacted when we wanted family pictures when our beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer. She made that day just as memorable as our wedding day and shared both laughter and tears with us. I truly cannot explain how grateful I am that we were able to find Katie for our wedding. She treats each couple as more than clients and is passionate about her pictures and career!
Katie was so amazing to work with! We chose Blu Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and could not be happier with how they turned out! Katie was wonderful to have on ...
our wedding day and really made my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera! I would definitely recommend her to family and friends! Thanks again Katie!
Katie is seriously amazing! We chose Katie because we had seen her work with one of our friends’ weddings a couple years ago and loved their photos, and in addition, her prices wer...
e very reasonable. We are so glad we made the choice to have her as our wedding photographer!!! Right from the start with our Engagement shoot, Katie made me and my husband (and our energetic dog) feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the pictures turned out awesome!! We received tons of compliments just from the engagement pics, and even more compliments from the wedding photos! The day of our wedding Katie was so calm and easygoing. She knew exactly the shots I wanted and made sure she got all of them :) We are SO happy with how our pictures turned out and could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day!! Bob also did a great job assisting Katie and getting some awesome candids throughout the day. Leading up to the wedding, Katie was super responsive and helpful, answering all my random questions. Thank you Katie and Blu Photography!!! We will definitely recommend to others and would love to work with you again in the future for other photography needs ;)
Katie was great to work with. She was easy to communicate with by e-mail (and responsive), which was very useful throughout our wedding planning. Most of all, she was easy-going an...
d it felt like it would be easy to spend a day with her, and I think she made me and my wife feel very comfortable while being photographed. She was very willing to walk around downtown Madison for both our engagement and wedding photos. She was willing to be flexible with our pictures, but also provided some guidance when we needed it. We came away very pleased with the quality (and quantity) of the photos! =) We highly recommend!
Katie was amazing to work with! Whether it was her extremely prompt communication before the wedding, being so helpful and calm and organized the day of the wedding or the fact tha...
t she got each picture we wanted and perfectly, she was the BEST choice! Each time I look through our photos, I'm immediately taken back to the day and am filled with the love I felt. Thank you Katie! We will treasure our photos forever and will forever be appreciative!
Katie has exceeded our expectations! She is a pro when it comes to capturing candid moments and going with the flow. But not only was she professional and accommodating to our requ...
ests, she went above and beyond her duties when she stayed over her contractual time to make sure she captured our surprise gift from my mom-in-law. The UW marching band was suppose to come at 8:30pm but didn't show up until after 9:15, and Katie didn't hesitate to wait around until they arrived. In all honesty, I couldn't imagine a more perfect photographer.
Katie is seriously the best; I don’t know where to start! It was so overwhelming trying to pick out a photographer and we ended up choosing Katie based on her portfolio and the fac...
t that it felt like we could hang out with her all day from the first time we met. She was very responsive in communication from the start and all the way leading up to our wedding day. We did engagement photos with her as well as our wedding day and could not be happier. Katie provided so much advice and help when needed as well as was open to any of our opinions and ideas! She was the perfect balance of professional as well as fun and flexible. She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. Both our engagement and wedding photos were ready much faster than we had expected. It’s been two months since our wedding and we are still choosing our wedding photos because they are all so perfect we can’t decide. You will not be disappointed with Katie and we will definitely be using her/Blu Photography and Design in the future! Thank you Katie!
