For years my husband and I couldn’t decide on the right plan to marry each other and begin our next chapter. After seeing Bunny’s blog I fell in love with her work and creativity....
Immediately I emailed her and she responded so quickly even though we have a completely different time zone.
Within days we booked and began to plan the perfect day. She was so easy to talk to and when we spoke on the phone I felt as if I’ve always known her.
We chose a date 5 weeks out and it was the smoothest process we could’ve asked for.
When the day came Bunny was easy going and thoughtful, she captured our day in the most magical way. She is a complete professional through and through. You felt as if you weren’t in-front of a camera and you were just engulfed in your surroundings. We were so lucky.
The memories we now have and album will always be such a special reminder of the perfect wedding day.
Book this amazing women!
Thank you kate bunny!!!!!
It is hard to summarize everything that makes Kate awesome, but here it goes...
Kate is an astounding photographer/kind human being who captured our dream wedding and all of the sp...
ecial moments we now can cherish forever. She made sure to get to know us before the wedding and establish what sort of shots we wanted on the day of, and she absolutely delivered. We asked her to lean into the candid shots which she did an amazing job at capturing. During the wedding day I hardly noticed Kate as she was so good at swooping, snapping the perfect moment, and backing off. I've been to far too many weddings where it feels like the video or photo team is guiding the wedding vibe and pacing and to me it can be a real mood killer... not with Kate. Kate respects the event and the guests and most of all the special couple. One nice touch Kate implemented was bringing a 'floater camera' that was loaded with a roll of 35mm film which she handed out to guests to fire off, and we got a ton of wonderful candid guest-POV shots that way, complete with the classic date-burn-in (Eat your heart out wannabe Instagram Filters). On top of capturing priceless still moments, Kate shot a roll of Super 8mm film (yes, like actual film-film) of our wedding day and edited together a short montage film of the day that is more magical than Hermoine, Harry, and Ron combined. I HIGHLY recommend you pay extra for this bonus, especially if you opt to pass on hiring a videographer, which we did, since we didn't like the idea of videotaping the wedding (for the reason listed above regarding the pacing of the day). Oh yeah, did I mention that Kate did all this during a PANDEMIC WEDDING? She was following all COVID safety measures we set in place and made sure to keep herself and everyone around her safe. Do yourself a favor and check out Kate's work and if you dig it, do everything you can to hire her, she is simply the best.
I don't think I'll ever have enough words to describe how incredie Kate is as a photographer! I first met her at a friend's wedding where it was obvious how great she was at getti...
ng people to be at ease in front of a camera. Since then, it's been an absolute pleasure getting to know her. She was the most caring cheerleader as our wedding got postponed due to covid! She was so responsive over the past year and a half, checked up on us and was so sweet.
During our engagement photoshoot, she immediately put us at ease and got us to laugh even though we were nervous about having our photos taken. On our wedding day, she was seemingly everywhere at once and it was very easy to be vulnerable around her. Every single one of our guests also loved her energy and ability to make even the most reluctant person smile. If you're looking for an incredible photographer, I would definitely recommend Kate!
Kate is the best photographer ever. She’s super fun and easy to work with. From the moment we met her, we knew she was different from other photographers. She’s creative, caring, a...
nd genuine, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your day super special.
Kate captures more than just the people on your big day, she also captures the emotions, making it feel as if you’re right there reliving each moment when you look at her photos.
The photos she takes are beautiful and excellently capture the essence of the day.
She’s not afraid of anything, and is ordained too, so if you need to elope in the middle of she woods, she’s your gal!!!! From engagement to wedding, and even beyond, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but Kate.
KATE IS THE BEST. Let me say that again, Kate is the BEST. She swooped in last minute to shoot our wedding, and from moment one, she felt like part of our family. She really listen...
ed to us, made us feel so relaxed, so looked out for, and so giddy all day, and it showed in her stunning photos.
Every time something magical started to happen at our wedding, out of the corner of my eye I would see Kate capturing it. Everyone should be so lucky to have Kate on their wedding day team.
What can I saw about Kate? She took both our engagement and wedding photos, and we were so glad she did! If you want someone that has a knack for making you comfortable in front of...
a camera, and thus being able to capture raw emotion, look no further. Kate has such a fun a bubbly personality that you forget she is hired to take your picture. Instead she seamlessly becomes part of your family and friends celebrating you as a couple. Although she still somehow manages to capture each and every moment so perfectly.
It's also overly apparent how much she cares. When we found out that the botanical gardens where we had planned to do our first look was going to be closed on our wedding day due to a plant sale, she offered to arrange a second shoot with us the Sunday after our Friday wedding. It was such a wonderful compromise, and was above and beyond what we expected.
You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and you want to be comfortable around them! Kate makes that so easy :), so don't hesitate to hire her!
We are so happy that we found Kate!! She is a great photographer and she was very helpful through our planning phase and on our wedding day. We had no problem with communicating wi...
th her and we always got prompt responses. She has always been very pro-active about contacting us and setting up schedules or going over the timeline. Kate also loves animals and we had our dogs in our wedding. We got cool photos with our pups and she was so patient with them too! Kate even brought her GoPro and we put it on one of our pups. Kate is just an awesome human being - she is truly happy for her couples and wants to capture all the precious moments.
I met Kate at a Bridal Fair in San Francisco and her displayed photos were stunning and timeless. We discussed my destination wedding and pricing. During our conversation I felt ...
like I was speaking with a friend as oppose to someone I was intending on hiring for my big day. Kate patiently explained her pricing and what was included in each package as oppose to giving me a brochure with a contact number and pricing like most vendors during bridal shows. Prior to my wedding I had an engagement party in which I had hired a photographer prior to meeting Kate. I mentioned it to Kate and she attended my engagement party as a guest and as a potential photographer for my big day. The finish photos from My engagement photos were absolutely amazing. Kate captured candid images of my guest and images and decorative details that really tells the story of how great the party was memories we will always cherish.
WEDDING DAY
My wedding was in New Orleans at Southern Oaks Plantation and Kate followed the wedding party from the party at the hotel, the ceremony and reception. Kate provided a story board form prior to the wedding to ensure all the important family members were captured as well as the names so she would know who everyone was as oppose to "hey you in the blue shirt", she also wanted to make sure that my make-up was halfway done prior to taking pictures. Kate is very patient, understanding and works very independently. There were times where I saw Kate grabbing shoes, garter, flowers and staging items as if she was photographing a magazine shoot. Now moving forward to the finish products. All my photos are magazine worthy, the details from the buttons on my dress, the images of me staring out the window to my wedding guests, my flowers, my bridesmaids candid photos, the images of the food at the reception, the closeups all just left me speechless. Kate's work is impeccable. I highly recommend Kate if you are looking for someone professional with a personal touch, a quick turnaround and images that are timeless.
Kate is an incredible photographer and this review is LONG overdue! We first hired Kate to take our engagement photos in San Francisco and she truly went above and beyond. Kate ha...
s such a warm and friendly personality and she really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Kate was so thoughtful and brought some props to use in our engagement photo shoot and easily incorporated the props that we brought (including our dog) into the photos. Our engagement photos turned out incredible and we still get compliments on them to this day. Fast forward a few years to when we found out that we were expecting our first baby - we didn't have to think twice about who we wanted to book to take our baby announcement photos. Kate once again blew us away with her photos as she has such a great eye and knows how to get the best shots. Thank you for the incredible pictures that we will keep forever. We cant wait to work with you again!!
I cannot praise Kate highly enough. She carried out thorough research into our wedding venue and reception and captured every detail perfectly.
Kate is incredibly friendly, patien...
t and made us feel so relaxed before and on the big day. We didn't even notice her taking photos and we never felt awkward or posed.
The end result exceeded our expectations. We were completely blown away by the photos. Kate captured the entire day perfectly and the photos will be an everlasting reminder of a wonderful day.
Kate is a treasure! She is warm and personable, professional and incredibly hard-working. She put all of us at ease, which allowed her to capture some of my favorite moments from t...
he wedding. Kate goes above and beyond to provide her clients with the exactly the experience they want. I’ve referred her to my dearest friends and they couldn’t be happier, too! Thank you, Kate, for all of the memories you saved for us!
Kate was absolutely fantastic. When we met her one of the first things that comes across is her enthusiasm, as she is someone who REALLY loves her job.
She managed to be both invo...
lved and also invisible on our 'Big Day', as she was amazing with giving instructions to help get fantastic pictures and also 'vanish' so we felt alone and relaxed which helped get even more natural pictures.
The pictures Kate took were absolutely unbelievable and she really managed to perfectly record our day for us and helped us create great memories. She asked us what we were looking for from our pictures and then got it spot on, we really could not have asked for anymore
We would have absolutely no doubt in recommending Kate to anybody as she was an absolute pleasure to deal with before the day, on the day and after the event. She will brighten your day and also provide you with fantastic pictures.
My wedding was June 2017, I’m glad i found Kate Bunny Hampson.

ood. I would recommend her to anyone!!
