Kate was the photographer for our wedding in August in Charleston and she was wonderful! I met with many talented photographers and Kate had all the qualities we were looking for. She is very relaxed yet, professional. She kept me up to date as the wedding got closer to make sure that everything ran smoothly day of. On the day of the wedding, Kate was such a cool and calming presense and seamlessly made her way through the day from pre-wedding until the evening's end. We received photos right away to look at which was so much fun and then the rest came shortly after in an easy to review and downloadable format. I've had questions regarding specific photos and Kate was always quick to respond and just a joy to work with. If you love a photojournalistic style and photos that really capture moments then Kate is an excellent choice!
Kate was awesome to work with! We did an engagement shoot as well as wedding photos with her. She's very experienced, both with weddings and with photojournalism and all of her work is incredible. She has a great eye for lighting and for capturing our personalities through genuine moments rather than cheesy overly posed shots some wedding photographers like to capture.
On our wedding day she was easygoing and a calming presence among the chaos of the people and activity around us. I can't say enough good things about her- all of our photos are STUNNING. Surely we will work with her in the future as our family grows.
Kate is amazing. Not only is Kate amazing at what she does but she is one of two photographers I strive to be. She is a joy to work with. I cannot wait to see our wedding pictures.
After interviewing 4 other Charleston wedding photographers we hired Kate after an 8 minute phone conversation. We clicked instantly! She asked the right questions and really seemed to care about our event.
Captured by Kate Photography was absolutely fantastic. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of Kate during our photo-shoot -- completely no awkwardness; something one might expect from engagement photos.
Her responsiveness was amazing. Kate responded to all calls/texts/emails within minutes. Even the turn-around for the photos post-shoot was super quick! The quality of the photos were AMAZING! Without hesitation, I highly recommend Kate for your next event.
Thank you again Kate for going ABOVE and BEYOND and EXCEEDING our expectations! Thank you a million times over!!
Weddings are expensive and as a father of the bride, a little overwhelming. Friends recommended Kate and she was even better than they said. She was so enjoyable to work with. I don't know how Kate does it, but everyone looks beautiful in her pictures. Anyone can take pictures of a wedding. Her pictures told a story - the engagement, the wedding party preparing for the ceremony, and all that went on that day. Every time that I looked at her, she was working hard and getting pictures that I would never have thought of. Our family cherishes her pictures.
Kate is an exceptional photographer. My family will use her for years to come. She is the best in the business!!
Photography was one of the most important elements of our wedding and Kate and her team nailed it on every level. We loved everything about working with her from her positive energy to the final images we received. It was evident that Kate really cared about us, our friends and our families, and she was completely attuned to what we wanted out of the photographs. We've received so many (unsolicited!) compliments on her shots, which is a testament to Kate's talent and professionalism. Additionally, she was able to get some of the best photos we've ever seen of the less-than-photogenic groom--no small feat! Hiring Kate was by far one of the best decisions we made for our special day and we can guarantee anyone else would be just as pleased. She's a true talent... and a wonderful person to have around!
Kate made our family feel so comfortable. She did underwater pictures of our 5 year old who was just learning to swim. The pictures turned out so cute and our daughter had a blast!
Kate Thornton was very good! She did her photography by herself, but she was able to get all of the vital shots that I wanted and more.
Kate was an absolute delight to work with. Her style of photography (photojournalistic) was what initially drew us to her, but her professionalism and talent was what made her such a great choice for us. Kate made sure to find out exactly what we wanted in our wedding photography so that she could be sure to capture all of the moments that we really wanted. She was a lot of fun to work with, and we are so incredibly happy with our pictures.
Kate was very laid back and got some great shots, both posed and candid.;Let her know if you'd like any specific shots.
She knows how to set up the perfect picture, be it traditional or candid. I included a variety of her shots in our thank you cards, and our guests still comment on her amazing work. She's a joy to work with, and I highly recommend her.
