he market. But the number one thing I have to say is she is so fun to be around and she makes it feel like she is your friend at your wedding taking photos. You don’t feel like there is a strange person at your wedding! We adore Her!
From before the wedding until after, Kat was an amazing photographer for our wedding and am beyond thankful for her expertise, talent, personality, flexibility, and organization. S...
he asked and listened to any and every request for certain pictures we wanted, had a detailed minute to minute plan that we formulated according to sunset time and things I wanted to add. She helped create a realistic time schedule and made sure to stick with it to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. During the wedding she helped pose us; was encouraging, fun spirited and energetic, and can make anyone feel comfortable on camera. I really appreciated that she captured so many details that we had at our wedding. From the reception, table numbers, flowers, cookie favors, in-the-moment candids, to the fun food caterers. You could basically attend the wedding through our pictures and captured all the moments I could ever want. The quality of the editing was my FAVORITE part. She kept them natural but with a little more color and sun. She was SO flexible with her editing that I was able to send messages back and forth about a certain picture and changed it as I had imagined. She returned the pictures extremely quick and honestly so worth every penny. Kat capturtes everything you would want and goes the extra mile!
From our engagement photos to our wedding day Kat was the absolute best photographer! The way she connected with us and our bridal party could not have been more perfect! She is pr...
ofessional, organized, easy to communicate with and the most down to earth person we have met! We HIGHLY recommend you book her for any special occasion! She is the best hype woman to have by your side! We love her so much!! 💗
I cannot recommend Kat enough. We used her as our wedding photographer in 2023 and for one, our pictures are everything I could’ve wished for and more, and two, she is super outgoi...
ng and made the entire experience really fun.
Since we’d already taken engagement photos, she came to shoot our rehearsal dinner which was an awesome way to use that service. As for day of, the weather was gloomier than expected which resulted in moodier photos, which I love. I had some doubts about coloring afterwards (the barn we had our reception in can tone really orange) but she was quick to clear everything up and again, those photos came out great.
She is really communicative throughout the process which makes you feel at ease. And she got our pictures to us in time for Christmas cards which was sooner than her contract timeline stated.
Thank you so much Kat!
I absolutely am so excited for Kat to shoot our wedding. We had our engagement session, and she was the most kind human ever. Being in front of the camera was so easy with her as a...

ul. They were kind and willing to accommodate my last minute preferences. The photos I have received so far are incredible. They are just as stunning as I had hoped from such a highly rated team. Kat also kept in close contact with me leading up to the wedding, which allowed me to have fewer things to worry about as the day drew nearer because I knew exactly what to expect from them. Totally worth the money!

help bring my vision to life. Our wedding photos came out amazing. I was pleased to see that she captured my actual wedding colors with her editing. I’ve seen a lot photographers who edit so much that the colors and the mood of the wedding look entirely different. Our guests and bridal party also liked how our photographer engaged with them while she was taking photos. Kat Nielsen is our number one wedding photographer we recommend.
