First let me say, I never write reviews for ANYTHING, so you know this is serious. I booked Kate for our engagement session last fall, loving what I had seen of her work but still not 100% sure who I wanted to book for the wedding day. You co...uld say the engagements were a trial-run. We had an absolute blast shooting our engagements with her! She is the sweetest person ever and so energetic when shooting, you can tell she really loves what she does and has a passion for it. As we walked back to the car after shooting, my fiance said "I don't care what happens, we're booking her for the wedding, she's awesome!" Without even seeing the photos we knew she was it. C'mon, I don't know about y'all, but for a guy to feel good and have fun taking photos, says a lot! She made him (me, too) feel so comfortable and that meant a lot to me, because the last thing I wanted on the wedding day is for him to have that look on his face in all our photos of "is this over yet" or "I feel so awkward in front of the camera."
Not long after the engagements, I did a boudoir shoot, we did a second engagement session, my bridal portraits and just recently, we finally tied the knot. Not only did we love Kate more and more along the way, each time that we worked with her - she made us feel like family and we found someone we truly feel to be our friend. She went 10 million times above and beyond any small expectations we may have had and did anything and everything to make sure our day was perfect and our photos were beyond perfect.
I haven't even told her this yet, but there was a little bit of drama the morning of my wedding - I was upset and crying, not 10 minutes later, Kate arrived with her amazing energy and positive spirit, and my mood completely flipped.
I felt like all was right in the world once she walked through the door, it was like a weight was lifted. That might sound really dramatic and silly to say about my photographer but I'm serious y'all, when you work with her you're more than just her client, and she's more than just your photographer. She puts everything into what she does.
Long story short, if you don't book with Kate you're seriously missing out.
