Katie and Devin were an absolute HONOR to work with! I fell in love with their style of photography the minute I saw their work, and the photos for our wedding are more than I coul...
d've ever imagined! They were so helpful throughout the day, and were great with suggesting places for a first look and group shots. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but every single picture her and Devin captured felt seamless and so natural!!! I couldn't recommend them enough - their work is incredible!!!!
We honestly can’t put into words how grateful we are for having Katie + Devin (Degroot Film Co) as our wedding photographers! From the very beginning, our experience was nothing sh...
ort of exceptional, and looking back at the photos now, it’s clear that we made the best decision.
We were initially so impressed with our engagement photos. The session felt so natural and effortless, yet the results were stunning! We were a little nervous about being in front of the camera, but Katie made us feel completely at ease, offering guidance without ever making it feel forced or staged. The photos captured our personalities, the little moments of laughter, and the quiet, intimate glances we shared, and we immediately knew we were in great hands.
Then came our wedding day—and wow!! From the first look to the final dance, Katie and Devin were there, catching every meaningful moment. Every single shot felt purposeful, and they never missed an important detail, no matter how big or small. The photos are so much more than just images; they tell the story of our entire day from beginning to end.
We know that these are pictures we will treasure forever. They’re not just “wedding photos”, they’re pieces of art that hold so much emotion and memory, and they’ll always bring us back to that magical day. You’ve gifted us with something so much more than photos and we cannot thank you enough!!
We truly couldn’t be more grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Katie and Devin! We can only hope we get the chance to work with them again for our next life milestone!! 🥰🩶
THANK YOU!!
Brittany & Kody Nelson
We were in a bind when our original photographer fell through and we needed someone 45 days out. I reached out and they happened to be available - and it was the best thing that co...
uld have happened to us for our wedding. We used both photography and videography services. Katie Degroot was so down to earth and kept our photos moving smoothly. They knew exactly where to go on the property for the best photos and we were able to get shots of photos that we had loved from their portfolio before. Katie, Devin, and Emily were so lovely to work with. They paid attention to the small details which is so important for photos like how your dress is laying or if you’ve got a flyaway hair that needs to be fixed. They ensured we will have amazing keepsakes from our wedding day. I could not believe how lucky we were to work with them and would absolutely recommend them!!
I can't say enough amazing things about Katie and Devin. They are an incredible team! We were so thankful to have them to capture our special day. Their communication was excellent...
throughout the planning process and they were there for us every step of the way. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and creative vision is incredible and in my opinion, unmatched. We are beyond excited to get the rest of our wedding photos! Our sneak peaks from our wedding weekend (posted after just a few days) assured us that they captured the key moments of our wedding beautifully. I highly recommend DeGroot for both photo and videography services. Our complimentary engagement session photos are some of my favorite photos to date of my now husband and I! Thank you, DeGroot!
We loved working with Katie and Devin for our wedding at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, 9/3/2023. My husband and I's hardest decision in the wedding-planning process was who to ch...
oose for our photographers, as there is of course such a wide variation in styles, offerings, and costs. When we saw their previous work at the Pfister and the magic they captured there, we knew we had to work with Katie and Devin. Katie took our engagement photos as well, so collectively they have given us hundreds of photos that will forever be our favorites, both candids (our priority) and planned/posed photos. They were also super nice, and especially day of the wedding went above and beyond to make sure everyone was in order (and looking at the camera, as it were).
Katie and Devin with Degroot Film Co. are the absolute best! You cannot go wrong with booking them for both photography and videography for your wedding. They take the time to make...
sure no small detail is missed. Their talent never fails to amaze me. Katie is very patient and understanding. She helps make you feel comfortable with every shot she is taking. Their work is beyond beautiful. Cannot wait to book them for other sessions in the future.
I would hire Degroot Film again and again. We had such a great experience with Katie & Devin for our wedding. They were responsive, had fair prices, and took the most beautiful pho...
tos. The quality of their work is top notch. I highly recommend Degroot Film for any type of photoshoot, but especially for weddings. You will not be disappointed!
We hired DeGroot Film Co. for our wedding in Baileys Harbor, WI on June 4, 2022. Katie and Devin were amazing to work with and the wedding photos and videos they delivered are incr...
edible beyond words. We were extremely impressed with their portfolio and from our first video call, we felt their excitement for us and their work. They traveled for hours (with their baby, who was only a few months old at the time!) to take our engagement photos in negative 19 degree weather. We had never taken professional photos before, and Katie’s coaching helped us feel natural and have fun during our shoot. The portal and planning documents they provided were easy to use and helped us both plan for the wedding day and keep everyone organized on the day of the wedding. The team was extremely personable and helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera while simultaneously being assertive and keeping us on schedule, ensuring we got every shot we wanted. Our wedding album and videos are stunning. Looking through our photo album I can’t believe how many little moments they captured; our personalities and love shine through in every photo, and we love seeing all the happy moments our guests experienced. During our wedding many guests commented on how professional and organized the DeGroot Film Co. team was - they were unobtrusive yet extremely thorough. The video editing is done perfectly and we look forward to reliving this day over and over through their beautiful work. Our wedding day was a dream, and we’re in awe of how beautifully DeGroot Film Co. captured every moment. If you’re not hiring DeGroot Film Co., you’re doing something wrong.
Katie & Devin were an absolute dream to work with!!! We had such a great experience since the day we booked them. Their work speaks for itself, and on top of that they were so kind...
, down to earth, patient, and happy to help throughout the whole process. We were lucky enough to have Katie take our engagement photos and she made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out so beautiful, capturing our personalities and relationship perfectly! We can't wait to see our wedding photos and video, and we already know they will be amazing. 1000/10 would book DeGroot over and over again!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Katie!! My fiancé and I had a longer engagement (December 2019-September 2022) and throughout that whole time, Katie was so responsive and hel...
pful! Never making me feel like a burden asking so many random questions here and there. Our engagement shoot was beautiful and she made us feel so comfortable, as neither my fiancé nor I have ever had our pictures taken like this. The pictures were done super quick and turned out amazing! Fast forward to wedding day and Katie and Britt showed up right on time and helped me get everything organized and ready to go. Taking pictures after the ceremony can be chaotic, but they had a good handle on everything and I cannot wait to see how everything turns out!! 10/10 recommend.
We got married months ago, and I still catch myself everyday looking at the beautiful work Katie and Devin created for us. We had a destination wedding in Idaho and they have an ey...
e for capturing breathtaking photos and video! I always recommend them to engaged couples and I HIGHLY recommend them for destination weddings!
My husband and I decided last minute to hire a videographer for our wedding after some important friends and family members were unable to attend our wedding in person. Our wedding...
planner reached out to her connections to see if anyone was available - and thankfully Katie from DeGroot Film Co responded that they could make a last minute booking work! Katie and Hannah filmed our day. Based on some of the sneak peeks, I can't wait to see the final product!! I was blown away. It is going to be so special to share the video coverage with our families and friends; as well as for us to have forever as a couple. Katie and Hannah were friendly and professional; they worked well with our existing photography team, despite being thrown into the mix just a few days before. They gave us clear directions with posing, and since we aren't natural supermodels, this was super helpful. I can't tell them enough how much it meant to me that they were there with us to document the best day of our lives.
Where do I start?! Katie and Devin are such amazing people! Since our first phone call we could tell that Katie and Devin truly have a passion for photography and care about their ...
clients. 💕
Degroot Film was fast to respond to any questions we had and made booking our engagement session date easy with our crazy work schedules! They made us feel extremely comfortable around them which is always a plus 😉
If you are looking for two beautiful and genuine people who want to capture your special day just as you imagined it...I DEFINITELY recommend Degroot Film!!😍 Thank you SO much Katie and Devin! You both are crazy talented and it was such a pleasure to work with you! I can't wait to see the rest of our wedding pictures!! I know you guys killed it ✨

I cannot recommend Degroot Film Co. (Katie and Devin) enough! They are so professional, flexible, easy to communicate with, talented and so much fun! We were married in December 20...
20 in Mexico and were unsure about having both photography and videography but one of our best friends recommended Katie and Devin and it was the BEST decision we ever made. Their work is out of this world and they made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process including when having our pictures taken. We are beyond thankful for them and their work and working with them was an absolute dream. Thank you Katie and Devin for everything!

LOVE DeGroot Film Co.!!! We booked Katie and Devin pretty quickly after we got engaged and I am SO glad we did. Katie did our engagement shoot and she is so sweet and easy to be ar...
ound. We are awkward in front of the camera but felt at ease with her and the pictures turned out amazing! Throughout the rest of the planning process, Katie was helpful answering any questions and helping me figure out the right timeline for our day. We got married in October 2020. Katie and Devin were amazing the whole day. They were so helpful in keeping us and our wedding party on track. Holding my flowers, holding the door, reminding the guys it was time to get dressed, running to get me a tissue when I forgot one for our first look practically ruining my makeup (lol), they were on top of it all! We got our full gallery back this last week, and I can not stop looking at them. Every single picture is perfect, even the candid ones. They just had this way of magically being there to capture every little special moment, I don't know how they did it. Book with them, I promise you won't regret it! Thank you Katie and Devin!!
Wonderfully amazing!
Couldn’t recommend Katie + Devin DeGroot enough. My fiance (now husband) surprised me and found Katie to shoot our surprise engagement and the photos capture...
d how we were feeling and the excitement of our whole family. She was so professional (and hid in plain site so well!), we knew it was a no-brainer to ask her to shoot our engagement + wedding. We aren’t used to having our photo taken but Katie made us feel comfortable and went with the flow, even when our dog was being crazy :) Leading up to the wedding, the communication from the DeGroot team was clear and friendly. The online portal was easy to navigate with our invoices, contracts, and even Questionnaires that allowed us to organize which photos we wanted / where, etc.
Due to COVID, we had to adjust our wedding twice: once with moving the date and once with the location to an entirely different city. I was fearful to tell our vendors but Katie couldn't have handled the switch any better than she did. This put us at ease and gave us one less thing to worry about. She worked with our Wedding Coordinator to finalize details, times, etc.. Day of, Katie + Devin were a dream team. Working with so many personalities of our friends and family is no easy feat but they worked as if they could read my mind. Their associate was professional and a great sport, working in the cold November air to shoot photos after the ceremony! They knew when /where to be and how to capture the day flawlessly and were a great team to work with!
Thank you, thank you, thank you DeGroot team! 110% recommended!

Working with Katie and Devin went very smoothly for us, even during the COVID pandemic. Katie took our beautiful engagement photos and both Katie and Devin took our wedding photos...
that we are absolutely in love with. I adore their style and their communication until the wedding date was spread out enough and straight forward. They sent us a beautiful book that prepared us to plan with them and they also kept great communication through email and questionnaires to make sure they knew where to be and when during the wedding. They were actually great company and very calming while I was getting ready during the wedding. They've been to so many they were in the right places and it was comforting to know they were both there capturing everything without missing a beat. These two make a great team and I also trust they hire wonderful associates to match their style.
Thank you SO much for creating forever memories & treasures, Katie + Devin!

I can not say enough good things about DeGroot. We originally did not intend to hire a videographer, but when Covid hit we had to cut down our guest list significantly and we reall...
y wanted to be able to share a recap of the day with those who couldn't attend. We reached out to DeGroot the week before our wedding and they were completely on board to help us out! Devin was so amazing on the day off. He made us feel really comfortable and he was super fun to shoot with. He went the extra mile to capture breathtaking video for us and even convinced the venue to let us up on the rooftop after the ceremony. Having such a beautifully crafted video to look back on and share with those who couldn't be there is a gift I could never thank DeGroot enough for. I highly recommended them.
We will start off by saying, we were one of the unfortunate couples who had a wedding scheduled when suddenly COVID-19, a global pandemic, hit. Our original plan was to elope in Sa...
ntorini, Greece in May 2020. Our agreement with DeGroot was to pay for their flights to come and film our small ceremony. We paid in full, but unfortunately had to reschedule our trip due to travel restrictions from the U.S. to Greece. We notified DeGroot and stated that we needed to reschedule. Unfortunately, they were not going to be available from June to September due them expecting a child. Also unfortunately, we could not afford to push our wedding out beyond September 2020 as my wife’s Dad was battling terminal cancer and likely would not make it that long. DeGroot’s contract stated that the payments we made were not refundable, but that they would apply our payments to future services within one year of the original date (which really was 8 months since they weren’t available for June through September). Since we weren’t going to be able to push our wedding out, we had hoped there was some way they could work with us. We had obviously asked if there was a way we could be refunded (full or even partial because we understand having a non-refundable deposit for these reasons), and they stated that their contract protected them from situations like this. Fair enough. So, we then asked if they could help us find someone that could fill in for them since they were unavailable, but they declined this request as well. It seemed a reasonable request as our photographer did this exact thing for us, no questions asked. It also stated in DeGroot’s contract that if they are unavailable due to illness, they could find a replacement. However, since they were not technically “ill,” they weren’t obligated to help. They claimed they were trying to “work with us,” but their idea of working with us was clarifying their contract after each of our requests. Our other frustration is that because of COVID-19, the majority of airlines were issuing full refunds, or at least travel vouchers for future trips. So essentially, they would be able to use our funds for a future wedding event (since they advertise that they shoot destination weddings), or they could even use our funds for personal travel. This didn’t feel right to us.
We understand that COVID-19 is not only affecting brides and grooms, but small businesses as well. All we asked was for them to work with us, and we didn’t feel they made ANY effort to accommodate. I’ll also add that every other vendor that we booked for our wedding was extremely helpful and accommodating, so we don’t feel we were asking too much.
The cherry on top to all of this was one of their emails to us stating, “We have multiple couples in the same, or worse, positions with multiple vendors involved, some not even offering any sort of solution.” This really made us feel like we were just another number and that they didn’t care. At the end of the day, we just wanted to feel like they were willing to try, and we NEVER got that feeling. They still have our funds, and we have absolutely zero desire to use their services based on how we feel we’ve been treated.
I would not recommend their services to anyone, especially in these times of uncertainty. DO NOT book with DeGroot Film Co.
Katie and Devin photographed our wedding this past July and we couldn't be happier that they agreed to work with us! We felt totally comfortable working with them- they were sweet ...
and friendly, completely professional, and so easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend Katie and Devin to anyone in the Milwaukee area (or, they do elopements out of state!) in a heartbeat. Thank you guys so much for being such an awesome part of our day!
Katie and Devin are absolutely wonderful! Truly, from the first email (and there was many), they were responsive, receptive, and totally go with the flow while I went back and fort...
h on what I envisioned for our day. Our engagement and wedding pictures are so beautiful and I cannot even begin pick a favorite. We also got all of our pictures back exactly when they said we would. Most importantly, Katie and Devin are kind, relaxed, and funny during shoots and that made us feel so comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend Degroot Film Co to anyone and hope I have a reason in the future to use their services again. Super talented people! Thank you so so much!!
Katie and Devon were fantastic to work with! It has almost been a year since our wedding (yes, I'm sorry I'm just now writing a review) and I was just looking through photos again....
They did such an amazing job capturing our day, giving us many of the candid moments, and making sure our photos reflected the rustic-elegance of our day. They were incredibly understanding with my last minute details and form submissions (thank you guys) and still fulfilled all of our requests. Our engagement session with them really helped us feel comfortable with Katie too. Would highly recommend and happily work with again. Only regret we have was not having them also do videography!
Katie and Devin were awesome to work with. We started with an engagement session and my fiancé and I were so awkward, not used to being photographed, but they helped us feel at eas...
e. The video from that day is so beautiful it makes me cry and the photos were just a small glimpse of what we had to look forward to on our wedding day. We were so happy with our wedding day photos and video. The pictures were so romantic and beautiful. Katie has a great eye. We had three albums made up too - one for us and one for each of our parents. The quality of the albums - covers and pages is very nice. We highly recommend DeGroot!
Katie and Devin are AMAZING! First, they came to our rescue when our original photographer backed out which was such a blessing in disguise. Throughout the entire process, Katie an...
d Devin were extremely professional, kind, and patient with us prior to the big day - always willing to address our questions and concerns. On our wedding day, they were our calming force - reminding us to breathe, have fun and enjoy every moment - and at the same time making us feel so comfortable as they captured every detail beautifully. Katie, Devin and their staff played such a special role in making our wedding day simply perfect and thanks to them we will be able to relive every moment - forever. We are beyond grateful!
We absolutely LOVED working with Katie and Devin, and couldn't say enough good things about our wedding photography / videography experience! They shot our engagement pictures as w...
ell, which turned out beautiful and were easy to schedule. They're a fun couple who have been through the wedding process themselves!
Through the wedding planning process, they were organized and prepared. On the day of the wedding, they interacted great with our wedding party and guests. We ended up with the best shots! Plus the video they put together for us afterward has made EVERYONE cry. We couldn't have asked for a better team to be part of our wedding, and you will end up with the best and most timeless wedding photos ever.
We loved working with Katie and Devin! The pictures and video turned out great. They also had tons of patience to deal with our crew of unruly bridesmaids and groomsmen! Highly re...
