Created Coastal Photography

and beyond to make us feel comfortable every step of the way. They didn’t just capture our day beautifully—they helped make it what it was. The photos authentically reflect all the love and happiness we felt, and we’re endlessly grateful. We’ll cherish these memories forever! Kat & Mike truly felt like our good friends throughout the entire day, and we can’t wait to call them again in the future for our family portraits. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you times a million!!

team these two were. they were very quick to respond before, during and after our time working with them. they took notes at every meeting and followed up with summaries, schedules, and answers to any questions we had. they sent us a detailed questionnaire that answered all of our questions and then some! most of all they were flexible with us. we changed locations, timelines, venues and kat and mike didnt miss a beat. they are worth every dollar! every single photo was pure magic and we will cherish them forever. bonus: they kept our families in check and our family adored them both and have been raving about their efficiency and the art they created for our wedding. CHOOSE creative coastal photography. it's worth it, we would choose them a million times over and over.

py we are. Our photos are absolute perfection. I keep reliving how magical the day was through our beautiful photos. Kat and Mike are kind, and fun, and comforting, and they effortlessly run the show. They helped us find our vibe (wanting to create a dreamy, enchanted vibe in industrial downtown Pawtucket is no easy feat). And quite frankly, if they want to be best friends with us, we're in. Additionally, their prices are so incredibly reasonable. They are such a tremendous value, and they will take such good care of you. I'm not sure what to else say - I've never been so happy with a vendor before in my life.

creativity, and calm to our wedding day. Not only did they capture STUNNING photos, but they were also instrumental in keeping us on schedule and making the day run smoothly. Kat even helped fix my bustle when it came undone—talk about going above and beyond! When timing got tight and we had to pivot from our original plan, they were incredibly flexible and reassuring. Their presence was such a source of calm amidst the whirlwind of the day, and they made everyone feel comfortable and cared for. They were super efficient with family and wedding party portraits (which everyone appreciated!), and then brought so much creativity and direction to our bride and groom shots. They guided us through poses and helped us get the perfect candid moments we were hoping for—photos that truly feel like us. If you're looking for photographers who are not only talented but also kind, adaptable, and genuinely invested in making your day amazing, look no further. They’re a 10/10 in every way.

ute best partners to us day-of. Truly, we can’t imagine having gone through the wedding without them. They took the time to get to know us, and beyond the specific shots we wanted, they truly understood how we wanted to feel on our day. For us, that meant minimal time for posed portraits and maximum fun. We still got incredible posed family and similar portraits, but most important to us got photos that captured the feeling and the magic of the day by capturing the people and the energy. If you have the chance to work with these two, do not hesitate!!!

m the moment we saw their work, we were blown away by the raw emotion and authentic beauty captured. We connected quickly and comfortably on FaceTime and knew they would cover our day with care and professionalism and love at the center. Our day ran so smoothly thanks to their close coordination with our other vendors. On top of capturing the tiny details that we’d otherwise overlook, Kat even did meditative breathing with the bride to calm some anxiety before the aisle, and Mike helped with bow tie prep! We’ve just received our sneak peeks, just 11 days after our wedding, and we are absolutely blown away by the photos. We are ecstatic and grateful to have their work memorialize our wedding forever, and we cannot wait to share their photos with future generations in our family.

step of the way. Their professionalism and warmth instantly made me feel at ease, and by the time the big day arrived, it felt like having two friends by my side. Throughout the day, they seamlessly captured every moment (big and small) without ever making it feel forced or posed. They have such a gift for finding the perfect light, angles, and emotions in each shot. When we received our photos, I was completely blown away. Every image was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and together they tell the most perfect story of our day. Kat and Mike didn’t just give us pictures, they gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. I truly cannot recommend them enough, not only for their incredible talent but also for the kindness, care, and joy they bring to the entire experience.

so fun with our loved ones. We are thrilled with the album and are so impressed wirh their talent. We would highly recommend them!

tant day! I can’t speak highly enough of them and their beautiful work. 11/10 recommend!

give word of caution to other couples considering using Created Coastal Photography as our experience receiving our full album was extremely frustrating. It took sending a certified letter threatening legal action to receive our photos after over 9 months from the day of our wedding. After checking in with Kat almost 4 months after our wedding, she let us know that she was dealing with some personal things and she had not started on our photos. Of course, we were understanding, but never imagined our 200-day delivery set out in our contract would come and go without a further update from her. When I reached out just after the 200 days, we were met with a similar response, but said she would have them to us about mid-March (our wedding was July 1st). Again, we were understanding. Mid-March came and went and when I reached out to her at the end of March, (after a week of no response and a similar excuse) she then gave an estimated date of delivery for some time in May. At that point my husband and I felt like we did not have a choice but to threaten legal action through sending a certified letter. Once the letter was delivered, we received our full album a few days later, 88 days past the very generous contracted delivery of 200 days. Again, our pictures are beautiful and Kat and Mike are artists. We literally planned our wedding around them being available after my brother and sister-in-law used them a few years back. At that time, I had personally been in the wedding industry for 11 years and understood the talent they brought. The communication prior to our wedding was great, the day of was great, but we cannot recommend them because of our frustrating experience trying to receive our photos. While I will not speak the specifics of other couple’s experiences, there are several couples who are still waiting for their photos and videos which are more than several months past their outlined contracted delivery. Take caution when booking with Created Coastal Photography.

the entire time and made us feel like friends, yet stayed completely professional all at once. Throughout the wedding process, they helped with many questions, gave great recommendations and helped with a wedding day timeline. On our wedding day, they always made sure we were feeling ok and always checked in to see if we needed anything. After our first set of photos in the wind, Kat even helped curl my hair so that it was perfect for the ceremony. They really do do it all!! I cannot say enough incredible things about this couple and their photography. We are BEYOND thrilled with our photos. If you are looking for great photographers who truly care to give you the best day imaginable, look no further. Kat and Mike are your team!!

l, artistic, and captured the magic. The first look at our photos made us both cry at how amazing they were! Not to mention that they are kind, caring individuals who took care of everything we could possibly need throughout the day, from posing us to handing us tissues to having safety pins handy. I could not recommend them more. Worth every penny. I'm so happy our wedding brought them into our lives!!

with, and you can tell they really take a lot of pride in their work. Our 'sneak peak' pictures came back so quickly and we were absolutely floored with how they came out. Thank you Kat and Mike for doing such a beautiful job!!

great suggestions and information that helped us plan our photographs. On the day of our wedding, her and Mike were above & beyond in their support of us (Kat literally bustled my dress with safety pins TWICE because my tailor forgot to add a bustle). We got an amazing first look within two days of our wedding. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend them and have received tons of compliments from friends and family who saw them work and the product afterwards.

went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly by coordinating with our vendors to ensure that our timeline went as planned. We couldn't ask for better photographers for our special day!

it would be a perfect fit. Part of the process is going out to lunch with them both, and it felt like hanging out with old friends. On the day of the wedding, Kat and Mike were like a well-oiled machine. Anything you needed, they already thought of it. They were both very kind and thoughtful and without them, our day wouldn't have been as special as it was. We have already gotten our sneak peek back and the photos are phenomenal. My husband and I can't wait until the full album is released! We hope to use them again in the future for all our life events and can't highly recommend them more.

nd talented. We honestly could not be happier with the photos we’ve received so far, and those were just a quick peek at what’s to come! Even our loved ones who tend to not like pictures of themselves love the pictures Kat and Mike have shown us so far! Beyond their amazing final products, they did an incredible job of helping us feel comfortable and helping us with whatever we needed in order to be in and enjoy the moment. They alleviated stress as soon as they arrived and were amazing at setting us up for shots we’d remember and cherish for a lifetime, and their energy was so incredible we asked them to get right in the mix once the music started and they became part of the party. The love, energy, and expertise that they both brought to the event was crucial to making our wedding day one that we would never forget. We truly cannot thank them both enough for making our wedding day perfect! ❤️ Hiring Kat and Mike will be the best decision anyone makes!!

, and expert at their craft. Arriving on-site for our first look, I was a bundle of nerves. Kat's gentle leadership in keeping tabs on me, my partner, our families, and wedding party in that moment and throughout the night was incredibly helpful. She and Mike captured a number of special moments throughout the day for my partner, myself, and our loved ones. They coordinated with our other vendors and stepped in as needed to keep the evening flowing smoothly. They went above and beyond. On top of that, the quality of their work speaks for itself. I will be the first to tell you that I've never felt photogenic. Despite that, I feel so beautiful beside my loved ones in the organic moments they captured, and the images reflect the love and magic we felt throughout the day. When thinking about the logistics of the wedding, working with Created Coastal Photography was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made. I'll add that as a queer couple, we felt respected, safe, and at ease throughout our entire experience with Kat and Mike. I hope to work with them again in the future!

seamless. Their dedication to keeping things organized while capturing our moments was unbelievable, and they took the most beautiful photos we could have hoped for. They were genuinely caring and kind—Kat even helped calm my nerves with breathing exercises, which made such a difference. The quality of their photos is outstanding. Even though we’re a bit camera-shy, they made us feel comfortable and captured our true essence as a couple. What truly stands out is how you can tell they treat every customer as unique and special, bringing not only professionalism but also respect and a deep understanding of how important that day is—not just as ‘another event.’ I can’t imagine what a mess it could have been without them, and I’m already looking forward to having them at our next major life celebration. Highly recommended! Wedding details: October, 11,2024. Bristol Harbor Inn

— it’s a big decision to make!! Having said that, I’m so glad that we found Kat and Mike. They were awesome right from the beginning. Their website was informative and after reaching out, they responded in a timely fashion. After deciding on moving forward with them, we set up an engagement photo shoot. We were indifferent about doing it but DO IT! It’s so worth it to not only get to know Kat and Mike, but to also shake off those “in front of camera” jitters. Before the shoot, we met with Kat and Mike to grab a bite and really just get to know them. They were confident and well prepared. We wanted to include a Vespa in our shoots and they were totally ok with that and gave us great direction to grab gorgeous shots. Afterwards they sent us a proposed timeline for our wedding day which was SUCH a help. Not only are you booking a photographer but since they’re truly experienced professionals, they were able to offer us insight into how the day should go that we just simply wouldn’t have known. Day of the wedding was great with Kat and Mike as well. We had a large bridal party and Kat and Mike facilitated the pictures very well. It was clear their communication between themselves was on point, and really helped to make the day run smoothly and on time! I’d have to say that the moment that really made me completely satisfied with our choice to go with Created Coastal Photography, was when during an overwhelming makeup and hair session, Kat noticed that was I overwhelmed. She swooped in, moved everyone out of the room quick and politely, dimmed the lights, opened the windows for fresh air. All without skipping a beat. It was exactly what I needed but couldn’t really say. True professional!! And someone you’d want in your corner on the ‘big day’. And of course, the end product …. We have only seen our ‘sneak peeks’ from our wedding day but they’re just stunning. Not just pictures, but truly artistic photos that we will treasure for the rest of time. We’ve received many compliments and you can’t help but look at the photos over and over again. Thank you Kat and Mike! Xo

uch fun but insanely productive. At that meeting, Kat walked us through the entire wedding day, taking the initial timeline the venue provided and revamping it to make the most of our time, setting, and photo potential. Mike lended his expertise and together we determined when and where the best content could be created and produced on the day of our wedding. I had no idea then how helpful it would be to have this timeline so far in advance throughout the wedding planning process, but now I realize how lucky we were to have had this information upfront. On the day of the wedding, Kat and Mike were literal heroes. Arriving early and getting right to work, I was so relaxed knowing they had everything under control. And I mean, EVERYTHING. Without a wedding party, my husband and I truly felt as though Mike and Kat fulfilled those roles and then some! It was Mike who ensured the groom was dressed, on time, and where he needed to be. It was Kat who ran back to the airbnb 10 minutes before the ceremony to grab the extra shirt for the groom due to an unforeseen seagull attack. It was also Kat who stopped me from walking down the aisle without the bouquet I forgot in the bridal suite. And yes, it was Kat who bustled, rebustled, and even invented new bustling techniques throughout the night when the original bustle wouldn’t hold to allow me to spend the night dancing on the sand. Both Kat and Mike worked tirelessly all day and night, seamlessly getting all the shots, while mingling with the guests, coordinating with the venue, and never letting a single detail go awry. To top it off, we received over 200 sneak peek images a mere FOUR DAYS after the wedding. Though we had considered Kat and Mike two of our dearest pals before the wedding, we are forever grateful for EVERYTHING they did to make our wedding day truly perfect. We love, admire, and wholeheartedly support these insanely talented, tremendously organized, remarkably chill, ultimate professional human beings.

fessional they are creative, fun, friendly, and bring a unique perspective that we were excited about. They even shared a preview album of our wedding day only three days later. We're thrilled with the quality and can't wait to see the rest. We would highly recommend Kat and Mike and will definitely be using them for future shoots!

th guidance and calmness. They perfectly embraced the intimate vibe of our day and provided guidance whenever we needed it. They made us super comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process from our first chats to the actual wedding day. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that every moment, big and small, was beautifully captured. The photos are all stunning, our walls are covered with pictures already. Without hesitation, we would recommend this duo to anyone looking for fantastic photographers. They went above and beyond in every way possible.

as the go to person for the bride. Kat was everywhere and made the day go smoothly. She was stylist, seamstress and bustle fixer. She even ran back to the condo for the extra shirt for the groom after a seagull mishap. Mike was unobtrusive and still got all the great shots. They are true professionals and we would highly recommend them for you photography needs.

needed while also taking breathtaking pictures . They truly are amazing and I recommend them 1000000%

onsultations we had. We knew that Created Coastal would be the right fit after our first call and reviewing example portfolios. The look and feel of the photos is exactly what we were looking for with this shoot, and let me tell you, they absolutely did not disappoint. Being this was our first time ever taking professional photos, we didn’t know what to expect and wondered how they would be able to capture natural looking photos of us doing meaningful activities around the places we enjoy most. Kat provided plenty of thoughts and recommendations during initial calls and texts which got our imagination going, but never pressured us in one direction or the other which we appreciated! Kat and Mike were very easily to get along with which made the shoot fun, and that’s what made for some fantastic photos. They know how to get creative with their art and we couldn’t be happier with how the preview photos came out, which was way more than we expected. Can’t wait for the full album! Highly recommend hiring Kat and Mike for any type of shoot!

are so down to earth, friendly, and so so so talented. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding sneak peaks! They are just the sweetest couple and really are gems. Don’t hesitate to book them for any of your photo needs! They captured the best moments and we just love them dearly!

usly the best day ever but honestly - we keep saying that Kat & Mike MADE the wedding and they made us feel special all day and night long. They met with us multiple times prior to the wedding to go over the details and answer any questions. And then on the wedding they somehow memorized all family dynamics and made everyone feel so comfortable. They had anything that we needed for the night on them and they were like little wedding guides/gurus. They knew exactly when to sneak us away for private photos and when to snap photos of us and our loved ones without ever 'getting in the way'. Honestly - by the end of the night we wanted them 'in the way' because we just wanted to hang out with them. And the PHOTOS themselves - totally magical and dreamy and perfect. They got our sneak peeks to us so so quickly and it made the magic of the day last longer. You HAVE to book them for your wedding, event, or even a personal photo shoot. Seriously - look no further. Your expectations will be blown out of the water.

y did Kat & Mike communicate with me and my husband so efficiently leading up to our big day, but they took their time to REALLY understand us both as individuals and as a couple. They listened to our every question and took in all the details we shared while explaining to us their process and what to expect every step of the way. They literally went above and beyond to make our day perfect for us. My husband and I were blown away at how these two not only corralled both sides of our family so seamlessly for photos, but also stayed so incredibly on time in terms of following the flow of the day. Not one single beat was missed. Our guests were raving about them all night, and for good reason. They’re not just photographers, they’re yoga instructors (Kat, who helped me meditate before I walked down the aisle), parents (that really showed with how incredible they were with our two flower girls), couple goals (they work so well together), and your new best friends (we genuinely would hang out with them if we didn’t live out of state!!). Kat & Mike, thank you so much for coming into our lives. We could not be happier that we chose Created Coastal Photography for our big day. If you’re reading this and are a bride or groom to be, do yourself a favor and BOOK BOOK BOOK!!! You will not find better. I’m not exaggerating. <3

endor but a resource for two years for us. We had her booked so long ago and as we got closer and closer to the wedding date she was there every step of the way. On the day, she was more prepared than even my bridesmaids. She had scissors for the sand caught in my dress, she had tissues for the tears of happiness that fell, and also structure (for those family members who needed it haha). I can’t recommend anyone more for photos and hope I can work again with them to catch more memories as we build our family. She was probably the most professional vendor I have worked with in a long time and I plan events for a living.

their portfolio so we could narrow down our location (we picked Ft. Wetherill State Park), to finalizing details as our event got closer, to helping us walk through everything day-of, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Kat and Mike are both so kind, so fun, and PHENOMENAL photographers. They make such a great team, put us at ease, and we had no problem relaxing and being in the moment because of their guidance. And our photos are absolutely breathtaking!! We've gotten so many comments on our photography that we may make the drive to Rhode Island from Philly any time we need any type of photos in the future. Cannot comment enough on how wonderful they are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It is clear that they are so passionate about what they do and they put so much thought into every detail- from planning to execution and follow up. I'll never forget the in-between times during our photos where Kat was here there and EVERYWHERE- bobby-pinning my moms hair, fixing my husbands boutonniere or organizing our bridesmaids florals and making everything look picture perfect. They're truly a one-of-a-kind duo. If you are looking for a wedding photographer that prioritizes comfort, fun and authenticity- you found them. I can't thank them enough, and I hope they are looking for new best friends because we are available and to be honest that is what i've been telling all of my family and friends so before this gets too embarrassing i'll just stop and say THANK YOU AGAIN!!! BOOK THESE LOVELY PEEPS!

. Kat was prepared for any scenario and saved the day on multiple occasions. She kept me at ease when I was feeling incredibly anxious. Huge fan of their work and them as human beings as well. They sent sneak peeks and BTS shots really quickly following our event that had me in tears. Grateful for them forever. 10/10 will never stop recommending!!!

hankful for their expertise in making sure our day would be relaxing, smooth and enjoyable for both us and our guests. They had incredible attention to detail and captured so many sweet small moments that I didn't even notice! We are so lucky to have such beautiful photos to remember our day.

big day, BOOK THEM. Within all the chaos of planning and on the wedding day itself, they are a calming presence and always helped ground us back to living in and enjoying the moment. If you can, book Kat and Mike for your engagement shoot and wedding day. They took all the nerves out of our engagement shoot and encouraged us to be fun and silly in front of the camera which led to amazing shots. On our wedding day, Kat and Mike rolled with all the punches alongside us and kept the day completely on track for us. They are a power couple and a dynamic duo. During our wedding, Kat and Mike were EVERYWHERE and captured everything. Working with them is like having a best friend with nothing but your best interest at heart. Kat and Mike are the perfect balance between professional and fun, and both feature an incredible eye for photography.

. After looking at several photographers and their portfolios we loved what we saw from Kat and Mike at Created Coastal. What we didn’t know was how much more they would contribute to the wedding. Our first in person meeting with them it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. They laid out a schedule of the entire day so we knew what to expect on such a hectic day. They also offered suggestions that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. I don’t think we could have expected them to be at great as they were on our wedding day though…Kat is on top of literally everything, when leaving the house with the bride & bridesmaids… everything I was asking for was either already in the bag, in the limo or in her pocket. Mike left to meet with the guys at the venue to get some photos in early so we could spend more time with the guests at cocktail hour. He got several great photos of all the guys both individually and as a group. He was even able to sneak some of of the groom and mom before everyone arrived. Immediately following the ceremony they got the wedding party and families together for photos and made sure to keep everyone focused so we could get over to our guests. They had several fun ideas for the photos and were open to our ideas and requests in the moment. They were always available to take any photos that we requested throughout the reception too. Our bride and groom shoot was also perfect, they had a spot in mind and utilized the area perfectly with their vision for our photos. We’ve received some sneak peek photos and we couldn’t be happier. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and share them with everyone!!

y special humans who met us where we were during our stressful planning. For someone who's not keen on the spotlight, they made me feel at ease and calm throughout a day filled with the attention. Kat was a family member whisperer, keeping everyone collected and organized. They are the best and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who has photography needs.

e made us feel comfortable and at ease. They took the time to understand our vision and provided valuable suggestions that enhanced our ideas. On the day of the wedding, they was professional, punctual, and seamlessly blended into the festivities, making everyone feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. They also saved the day more than one time! The photos are nothing short of breathtaking. Every image is a testament to Kat and Mike’s talent and dedication. The way they captured the light, the love and our desired vibe was perfect. Moreover, the turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the presentation of the final product was elegant and thoughtful. Kat and Mike exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only immensely talented but also a joy to work with, look no further than Created Coastal. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat and Mike to any couple looking couple looking for a great photography duo.

m to anyone looking for a great experience and even better photos!

ographers. They became our trusted partners, source of comfort, and, best of all, our friends. Working with them felt like working with people we'd known forever, and their photos are simply amazing. Everyone we've shown them to is completely blown away, and so are we. The photos are everything we could've hoped for and more, and we feel so lucky to know and have worked with Kat & Mike.

k" photos, which is what we did in May 2024 after our wedding. However, it has now been over 7 months since our wedding and we have not received our final album or wedding video that we paid $5500 for (plus tip on wedding day). We originally signed a 6 hour contract with Kat and Mike a year prior to our wedding but a few months prior decided to add two more hours. When we got a new contract, Kat told us they made some “updates” and that we could sign the newest version. We did not realize that they had changed the contracted turn around time from 90 to 200 days without explicitly discussing this with us. We were very patient after the wedding, reaching out about once a month for an update, with Kat telling us they were working on it. Finally after several months, Kat revealed that there were software and personal issues delaying the final product. Again we were patient, reaching out every month or so for updates and asking when we should expect the final product. We were met with excuses but never any apologies or specific anticipated delivery date. After the 200 days went by with no estimated delivery date being provided to us (as was detailed in the contract to be provided in the case of delays), we asked for financial compensation for the breach in contract or the raw photos as we waited for the album. We have not heard from Kat and Mike for weeks despite us reaching out via text and email. We fear they have no intention of getting us our final product. Furthermore, I know other newlyweds who are in this situation who are still waiting for their albums as well. Potential clients beware.

ur unique vibe and gave helpful cues for positioning. Together they enhanced our vision for our wedding and their talent was demonstrated throughout the whole process! HIGHLY recommend working with them - they are worth it!!

er. She captured us perfectly! She was so timely with sending us our pictures and they were even better than I imagined. I will without a doubt book for our next pictures!! Thank you so much Kat!

ey went above and beyond what I expected the day of. They made sure everyone was where they should be, helped pin boutonnieres, got shots I wouldn't have thought of, gave advice when needed, and so much more. They were key to helping make the whole day go smoothly. And are both so nice and easy to talk to. Highly recommend them!

for the engagement location, and even helped set up the area before we arrived. During the shoot they made us feel so comfortable, and had really creative ideas for the photos. We are absolutely in love with our photos and can’t thank them enough for capturing this very special moment for us. We can’t recommend them enough!
