About this vendor
Based out of Portland, OR, Kate Holt Photography is here to help you capture your love story! From the moment you get engaged to those final moments of your wedding reception we want to be there to record all the special moments!
My name is Kate Holt, the founder of Kate Holt Photography, and I have been photographing weddings in the Pacific North West for the past 10 years. We travel all over the Pacific North West from the Southern parts of Oregon all the way to the most Northern parts of Washington.
At Kate Holt Photography we specialize in wedding and engagement photography. We love capturing those candid, natural moments between our couples as well as those real moments during the ceremony and reception!
We are all about helping our wedding couples feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Who wants to look back on photos where they felt awkward and stiff? No one! We help our couples get there through education and an engagement session so by the time it is wedding day you feel like pros!
The goal and focus of our business is you. Really, it is your love story, your memories, your moments, your wedding day - you. Our business is a very personal business in that we love connecting with the couples that we work with. We are not just "photographing another wedding" or at "just another wedding day." Our goal is to create a unique wedding experience for you and your family, something you will always look back on with smiles and happiness!
Over that past few years our business has grown and we have created a team of artistic and highly skilled wedding photographers who are here for you! It is a team of different personalities but all of us have the same core values and goals - to create a one-of-a-kind wedding photography experience!
We offer a variety of wedding packages that range from just 4 hours of coverage up to basically all day coverage. We also offer additional services such as second photographers, wedding albums and even a photo booth.

Kate and Dom were incredible to work with! We did both our engagement shoot in Portland with Kate, our day-of wedding photography with both of them as our photographers, and rented...
our photobooth from them. I was initially concerned that the lighting in my indoor venue was going to be an issue, and naturally gravitated towards the bright and timeless style that Kate and Dom have. One of our favorite parts about working with Kate and Dom is that they give a masterclass in posing and provide a ton of direction throughout. Since we were able to do an engagement shoot, by the time we got to the wedding it was so effortless and not awkward at all. We also really appreciated the fact that while they are professionals with tons of experience who can take care of everything, they were also open us weighing in with requests and feedback i.e., shooting at a diner, avoiding certain poses, and getting certain shots. All of our guests also echoed that they loved being photographed by Kate and Dom, and don’t get me started on turnaround time! We’ve heard nightmares about pictures taking 6 months+, but Kate and Dom are machines and get pictures to you much sooner. Finally, the results speak for themselves. Every photo came out stunning and their ability to be a fly on a wall resulted in great candids that captured the spirit of the event. Kate and Dom were definitely our most expensive vendor, but we have no regrets because they were 100% worth it.
I worked with Dom & Gabby on a beautiful April 2026 wedding. As a day-of coordinator, a strong photography team can make all the difference for a seamless day!
Communication was q...
uick and helpful. On the wedding day, their team brought the best energy. They were easy to work with and genuinely so fun to be around. Dom took control of all the posed and formal photos with ease, even with a large wedding party. He provided great instruction and photo ideas.
And the professionalism? So, so good. They know exactly what they’re doing and carry it with so much confidence and grace.
Truly the real deal. Book them!

l early-on that they were very experienced and knew what they were doing. They were very easy to work with and quickly answered all of the questions that we had. They were extremely helpful on the day of, doing more than just taking pictures like fetching random items, giving reminders of the schedule, and pulling everyone together for the photos. We were very impressed with both the quality and quantity of the photos. We would highly recommend choosing Kate Holt Photography for your wedding or event photography.

captured all the joy from our wedding day and turned it into beautiful photos. We got so many photos back from our wedding day and they are all so beautiful.
For the first meeting, I met with Dom, who was professional, very nice, and organized. He showed me past weddings they took pictures at, and explained the whole process. He explained all the photography options and pricing as well as the contract. They are very good at making you feel at ease during the whole wedding planning process. You can trust them to know what they are doing, and they are so helpful.
Kate was our photographer and she was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and organized. She was so amazing during the wedding day, she was so friendly, which made taking photos feel easy. She was so good at posing us and made it feel so natural. She even scouted out, the morning of the wedding, some absolutely amazing places to take pictures at.

Kate captured our very first photo together in our first year as a couple and to have both Dom and Kate there with us years later on our wedding day felt like such a beautiful full...
-circle moment. From the moment they arrived, they brought this incredible energy full of warmth, joy, and calm that made everyone feel so comfortable and cared for.
They made our entire day flow so effortlessly from the quiet, emotional moments to the wild, laughter-filled ones. Our bridal party and guests couldn’t stop raving about how fun and easy they made everything feel.
They worked a 12-hour day with nonstop positivity, creativity, and heart. You could see how much love they poured into every shot, every detail, every smile.
Dom and Kate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our love so beautifully not just in photos, but in the way you saw us. We’ll cherish these memories forever. ❤

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kate Holt as our wedding photographer, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, she was so kind, supportive, and e...
asy to work with. She guided us through the process and made sure we felt comfortable and confident that everything we wanted captured would be.
On our wedding day, Kate was incredible. Not only was she professional and organized, but she was also warm and friendly, which made such a difference. Our families and friends kept telling us how nice she was, and she truly made everyone feel at ease. She even jumped in to help bustle my dress when we needed an extra hand—which just shows the kind of person she is.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—we’ll treasure them forever. Kate managed to capture the joy, laughter, and emotion of the day in a way that feels so real and genuine. We are beyond grateful to her for giving us such a perfect way to remember our wedding.
We’ll definitely be reaching back out to Kate for any future photography needs. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely wonderful to work with, Kate is the perfect choice.
Kate and her team are truly amazing! I cannot imagine a better experience for our wedding. We met with Kate several times to plan the overall event, Noah did an engagement session ...
with us, and Noah and Trang were on site day of. We had such a wonderful time with all of them. We were drawn to Kate Holt Photography due to the editing style - bright colors, fun candids - and her whole team delivered during the event and after!
Noah was absolutely delightful with such positive energy. He immediately understood our vibe (goofy) and ran with it in the best way! One of my favorite photos from our wedding is my now-husband and his best man in the "Titanic pose," which Noah suggested. He captured everything we wanted while maintaining professionalism and keeping us on track. We were so nervous about posing (neither of us like being in front of the camera), but he made it fun, easy, and somehow look natural! We felt immediately comfortable with Noah, and we are so grateful for his time, effort, and energy.
Trang only met us day of and adapted her style immediately. She understood when we needed more direction and when to just let us do our thing. She kept an eye on my hair and makeup (it ended up being an outdoor wedding on one of the hottest days of the year), dealt with my fan and water bottle, and stayed upbeat and positive through it all.
Although we needed a light-hearted, goofy experience, I have no doubt that Kate, Noah, and Trang could adapt to and capture any client's vibe in a beautiful way. They coordinated perfectly with our videographers and other vendors, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of our team. They care deeply about and take pride in their work, and it shows.
Our photos turned out better than we could've ever dreamed. They show all of the emotion and beauty that we experienced. Your photographers are one of the most important decisions for your wedding day, and I promise that Kate and her team are the right call! They made the experience seamless and fun, and have given us the gift of memories to look back on for the rest of our lives that capture our love perfectly. We cannot recommend them enough!
Thank you Kate Holt Photography!
Working with Kate and Dom was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding! From the engagement shoot to the day itself, they went above and beyond to make sure everything felt so...
seamless and natural. They were incredibly responsive and understanding with any questions we had before and during the day. Our guests also had nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Kate and Dom during the event and they really helped make our day feel extra special. And the photos themselves were more than we could have ever hoped for! The photo booth was so much fun too and I would highly recommend that to anyone as well, our guests had so much fun. 1000/10 would recommend Kate Holt Photography to anyone looking for some amazing photographers!!
Kate and Dom were so wonderful to work with from the very start. They were so helpful with the whole process. Kate sent me a welcome gift with all kinds of neat things to help plan...
and organize the wedding! Above and beyond in every way and the cost was well worth what we received from them. They have the best personalities, and made our day absolutely perfect. They took incredible pictures and captured the day beautifully, better than we could have ever hoped for. We were so happy they were willing to travel all the way to the northwest corner of Washington state to capture our day for us. We even had guests telling us how awesome they were.
We absolutely LOVED having Kate and Dom not only capture our special day, but be a part of it. Facebook recommended them to me and I fell in love with their work from the moment I ...
saw it. From day one, communication was straightforward and fun! Day-of, they were such a blessing to have with us for every moment of our wedding and reception. It felt like having friends hanging out with us. After the ceremony, our pastor had us take a moment to look out over the congregation and take it all in. As I stood with tears in my eyes, I glanced at Kate and she looked back at me with tears in her eyes. So sweet to have someone who loves not just their work but the couples they are working for!
They are both very personable, joyful and easy-going while also having everything completely under control. We had 400+ guests, and Dom had the BEST idea for us: getting a photograph with every table as they were released to the buffet. This gave us the opportunity to at least say hello to each person, and now we have a captured moment with EVERY guest--- so, so special. Turn-around time for our full gallery was only a few weeks- WOW! We have just loved reliving each moment of the day as captured through their incredible eye.
If you are thinking of hiring Kate and Dom, stop thinking and just DO it because you'll be so happy you did!!!
Kate and Dom are awesome! They really took the time to get to know us, our story, and tailor to our wedding photography wants/needs. I would highly recommend them!
My wife and I found Kate Holt Photography online when searching for a photographer for our wedding. Before going any further with our review, we will just say that we couldn’t reco...
mmend Kate Holt Photography enough! And we have recommended to multiple friends, and couples, since who have had fantastic experiences themselves.
We chose to go with Kate Holt Photography because of the beautiful photos with a natural style and great candid captures of those special moments. We had a conference call and met with Dom (of Kate and Dom) whom we worked with. He was such a friendly, down to earth person from the start, and we immediately knew it was going to be great to work with him. And the photography spoke for itself. Dom was very organized, spent time getting to know us, and made sure to ask us all the important questions in terms of what we were looking for. We not only used Dom (Kate Holt Photography) for our wedding but for our engagement and since, for maternity photos. We could go on and on given every part of working with them was wonderful so we will share one specific instance. When coordinating our engagement photos we selected a location and met Dom there. Upon arriving we encountered torrential rain but Dom was quick to offer flexibility and he drove over a hour to a new location so we could have the perfect photo shoot.
As we started off, we can’t recommend Dom and Kate of Kate Holt Photography enough. We will be using them for all our future photo shoots!
Kate and Dom went above and beyond for us as soon as we booked them. Their constant communication and updates throughout the year leading up to the wedding were incredibly helpful....
On the day of they showed up early and got right to work with the details photos. They remained calm, cool, and professional during moments of chaos and family drama. They were essential to directing traffic and keeping the timeline. During the ceremony and reception they got any amazing photos of everyone. They were stealthy- positioning themselves where they wouldn't get in the way. Everyone attending made sure to tell me how kind and helpful they were throughout the night.
Overall, they took the most beautiful photos of my husband and I that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend booking with them!
Kate and Dom are the absolute best at what they do! The engagement photo session was so fun and we learned a lot about posing. Our wedding day photos perfectly captured the moment ...
and are absolutely stunning, better than I could have imagined. Kate and Dom made us feel comfortable every step of the way. They also went far above and beyond, offering help and guidance with wedding planning and timeline. I cannot recommend their services enough-. Thank you Kate and Dom

We had the privilege of working with Kate for our engagement photos - and with Kate and Dom for our wedding photos. And we are so fortunate to have found them when searching for ph...
otographers! Not only are they an amazing and friendly team, but their pictures are literally STUNNING! They have such an eye for beautiful backgrounds, picking up on natural tones and light. Many of bridal party members and guests commented to us after the wedding how professional, fun, and non-intrusive they were, especially during the ceremony. They were super supportive along the way, offering clear directions and making sure we stuck to the planned photos and timeline. The candid photos they captured were also amazing, and we’ve had such a fun time sharing them with our guests! Sadly, we’re just not sure all 800+ of our favorite photos will be able to fit on our gallery wall :) You simply cannot go wrong with selecting Kate and Dom!

eel rather awkward in front of the camera, but Dom made the experience fun and comfortable for us. He truly went above and beyond to deliver quality service and make us feel so special for our wedding. We cannot recommend their services enough!
We found Kate Holt Photography at a wedding expo and loved their work and how nice they were. As we worked with them we saw this only continue, the team was very organized and was ...
great at communicating. We were assigned Gabby for our wedding and she was amazing! She was so nice and helped us with so much throughout the day. We had a lot of rain and our venue was very spread out but Gabby found perfect picture spots and worked amazingly with the rain. I could not have asked for a better photographer and the pictures turned out amazing!
We found Kate from a mutual friend's recommendation for a wedding photographer. From the moment we saw her work, we were hooked and loved her style of photography! Her photography ...
is effortlessly elegant, and we absolutely loved the soft, natural lighting that was apparent in her photos. Kate was very helpful and easy to communicate with from the start. She is super sweet and fun to work with. She helped my now-husband and I feel at ease during our engagement shoot since we had very limited to no experience taking professional photos. Both the engagement shoot and the wedding pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined! We are so happy with all of the wedding photos and it was hard to narrow down our favorites to put in our album and hang on our wall, which is not a bad problem to have ;) All of our friends and family have also complimented the wedding photos and how great the photographers did on our wedding day. Dom was so much fun to work with on the wedding day and he did an amazing job! He took amazing posed and candid pictures that we will cherish forever. We definitely would recommend working with Kate and Dom! They were such a joy to work with and all of the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. If photography is important to you on your wedding day, you can fully trust Kate and Dom to capture breathtaking, heartwarming pictures on one of the most important days of your lives! :)
Kate & Dom are the dream team! It was a tough decision, picking out our wedding photographers, but Kate & Dom stood out for a reason. Their fun personalities made it so easy for us...
to pose. As someone who always feel awkward in front of the camera, Kate made it so fun by teaching us the poses. We did our engagement session at the Vancouver Waterfront to get to know each other. Our actual wedding happened at The Foundry and it rained super heavy during the ceremony. Kate & Dom were troopers in the rain....they ran out to give umbrellas to our guests! They were drenched themselves, but did not complain at all. All my guests loved them! Our wedding was bigger than expected, but we got a picture with every single guest! Kate was super efficient with snapping while Dom read out the names. Kate was super good with the kids, getting them to look at the camera. We got our sneak peek photos and are absolutely in love. They have so much talent and I can't wait to order prints! Looking forward to seeing our full gallery soon.
Kate and team are absolutely incredible and such a dream to work with!! She is not only one of the kindest and warmest people I've ever met, but her talent is unmatched! She really...
has a gift for finding the best light, angles, and locations, and she made my husband and me feel so at ease and comfortable the whole day. We can't recommend her enough, she is incredible!
After comparing online portfolios of seemingly countless photographers from the west coast all the way to Miami, we decided to attend a wedding expo in Portland where we met Kate....
Her printed catalogues were very impressive, and captured the sense of magic we were after. As an art director I was looking for someone with an advanced sense of color correction and understanding of lighting, especially as we are an interracial couple and wanted to make sure the skin tones of our diverse guests were celebrated. We scheduled a virtual meeting afterward where we discussed all of the details, and Kate was very helpful in helping us solidify our vision for the day, and the overall feeling we wished to portray.
Both our wedding ceremony and reception took place outdoors in a heavily wooded venue in the Columbia River Gorge with many areas of shade, full-sun, and dappled light, and to add to the complexity our wedding color palette included virtually every color of the rainbow, so we knew capturing everything in such conditions was not a small feat.
On the wedding day Kate arrived at our airbnb to take candid getting-ready photos, then met us at the venue and proceeded to go above and beyond in every way, capturing everything from the smallest details of our tables capes to broad expanses of the sprawling venue, to intimate and meaningful moments between us and our guests. She was SO professional and friendly and it was immediately apparent that she was a master at her craft, adapting to changing situations and encouraging everyone (including the hard-to-corral youngest few of the wedding party!) the whole time. We had settled on a certain number of hours, but as the night went on and the celebration continued Kate kindly stayed on to continue photographing on an hourly basis which we were very thankful for.
The results speak for themselves. Our gallery absolutely blew us away! Everything from our guests, the venue, the decor colors, and of course ourselves turned out so beautiful and vibrant, while still managing to retain a delicate and premium quality. As we looked through the photos, seeing the day for the first time through the eyes of a guest, we were moved to tears. We can honestly and full-heartedly recommend Kate to anyone who doesn’t want to take chances on one of the most important days of their lives. You will not be disappointed, just take our advice and go with this astounding professional. Thank you so much Kate for providing us with a lifetime of memories.
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing of a wedding photographer Kate Holt is, and how pleased we were that we hired her for our wedding!! Seriously, hiring her was one of the ...
best decisions we could have made!!
From the start of meeting with her, she was so professional, easy going, and would go the extra mile for us! She offered us very fair pricing, and was truly worth every penny! We loved having our engagement shoot with her. She was happy to travel, helping pick out the spots that would be best for us that fit our personality, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. Not only did we get great photos from it, but we look back at the engagement shoot as one of our favorite day!
She was happy to meet with us ahead of time to make sure we were aligned on goals, always showed up early and would help stay around to make sure that we got what we needed captured! We decided later to hire her for our rehearsal dinner as well, and we are so glad that we did! She was so kind in organizing our family and bridal party to take photos, and even brought us outside for an impromptu photo shoot which are now some of my favorite shots :)
Even when our timeline for wedding day got thrown off after Beauty took longer than expected, Kate came to the rescue by re-organizing her plan for the photos, and made up extra time by working quickly (but still got all of the shots!) so that we could start our wedding on time.
Not to mention, she was SO quick in delivering our photos to us- a large amount of preview photos 2 days after our wedding, and the rest of the photos VERY fast after! All extremely quality, well captured and edited photos. We were blown away and so appreciative.
Kate has a professionalism and hard work ethic about her, combined with a fun spirited personality, that makes for a perfect wedding photographer! She truly made us feel like family and not just another “number”. We would highly recommend her for your next event!
We worked with Kate and Dom for our wedding Fall 2024 and could not be happier with their work! Kate was great at coordinating the photo timeline, responsive to questions, and so e...
fficient with the photo taking day of. We did an engagement session with Kate and Dom that was gorgeous and my then fiancé felt so much better about all the wedding photos after the engagement session. We were also able to have Kate photograph the rehearsal dinner to capture the gorgeous views there. Kate had never photographed at our wedding venue before, so she came out during the rehearsal to see around the venue an scout spots for the next day. We even got a few extra couples photos while she was out there! The photos are amazing and the hardest part is deciding which ones to print because we want them all! Absolutely would recommend!
Kate Holt is the best! We were so fortunate to have found Kate for our engagement and wedding photos! She made us feel comfortable and confident, and we had such fun working with h...
er. She is professional, relatable, and simply magic!
She has the ability to make you feel seen and beautiful. You would be remiss not to hire her for any and all photo shoots you need. My husband and I are already planning to book her in the future!
Kate Holt Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding! Every step of the process was very organized and gave us plenty of opportunities to share our vision for the day. We s...
tarted off meeting with Dom, who helped us talk through our initial vision. Soon after, we received a package in the mail with vow books, a visual look book and suggested timeline for the day. Next, we met with Kate, who helped us talk through all the details of the day, including developing a timeline for our event. Both Dom and Kate were incredibly kind and helpful in the planning process.
For the day of our wedding, we had the absolute joy of having Gabby photograph us. Throughout our day, Gabby gave us helpful reminders and suggestions while being incredibly kind. She helped us feel at ease and comfortable, which came across in our photos. We got back our sneak peak photos in an impressively quick turn around, and then very soon after got access to all of them. Gabby did a great job capturing our special day, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out.
Considering the organized process, quality of photos, friendly interactions, and reasonable pricing, Kate Holt Photography was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding. Thank you for photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

om. He answered every question we threw at him, gave us amazing recommendations for our engagement shoot location, made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Communication was great the entire time. Noah was our second photographer the day of our wedding and he was just as amazing! We are incredibly happy with our engagement photos and our wedding photos! Highly recommend Kate Holt Photography!

to work with us. Dom helped with figuring out the perfect package for us considering we were doing a microwedding (20 people). I was bummed at first to hear they were booked for our wedding date but then we got to meet one of their other photographers, Noah. He was so friendly, nice, and easy to work with. We bonded when we took engagement photos. He made taking photos super easy which was great considering we are not the most photogenic couple. To top it all off, right after we booked with Kate Holt Photography, they sent us a package with a wedding planner, vow books, and tips/tricks for wedding planning. It was super awesome and helpful.
Then we were lucky enough to get to work with Noah for our wedding day. He was the ultimate hype man which I really needed. He helped relieve the anxiety of my husband and I. He also helped coordinate a lot of the small details with our venue manager. He shielded me from being seen by my husband before our first look as well as when some of my guests started to arrive. He helped my mom bussel up my dress when my mom could not figure it out. Our family and friends were all extremely impressed with Noah as well. I can’t say thank you enough. Noah’s extremely talented and I hope to work with him again in the future. Plus the photographs came out AMAZING to top it all off. 100% recommend!
There are so many things to consider when searching for a wedding photographer. It can be a daunting decision to make. But from our first virtual meet, it was clear that Kate Holt ...
Photography would provide everything from confidence to professionalism. They were communicative every step along the way, and made the whole process so easy. We loved their bright, natural aesthetic and their amazing team of photographers.
On our wedding day, Gabby was our main photographer, and Noah supported the photo booth. And both were such a pleasure to work and coordinate with. Gabby is so nice, and she makes the difficult job of directing people fun and inviting. Between our free engagement photos and our wedding photos, we had a great time working with her, and the quality of her shots were 5 stars. Noah kept the energy going at the photo booth all night, which is not an easy task either!
The turnaround of photos was unbelievably quick! We got our sneak peek set in just a few days, and the full set not long after that. I would confidently recommend this team to anyone looking for that special photographer for their special day. Thank you to the Kate Holt team for capturing ours!
We had the pleasure of working with Kate Holt Photography for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Gabby and Kate were our photographers, and they captured ...
absolutely beautiful photos. Their positive energy made them a joy to spend the day with.
Dom ran our photobooth, and it was a hit! Everyone had a blast taking goofy pictures, and our guests shared great feedback about how fun the photobooth was and how professional the photographers were.
We were thrilled to receive sneak peek photos just a few days after the wedding, and the full album followed not too long after. The photos are stunning, especially the natural light, bright shots that we were looking for.
We highly recommend Kate Holt Photography to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography. Thank you Gabby, Kate, and Dom, for making our day so special!
I originally found Kate and Dom on Facebook. I loved their style and portfolio full of light, bright weddings. After talking to Dom and Kate, asking them a million questions, I kn...
ew that they were going to be perfect for my wedding day.
I am especially appreciative of Kate’s help with posing and finding the best angles that suit us. She definitely passes the “vibe” check because she was incredibly professional but also very fun and easy going. She never pressured us to do anything we didn’t want and gave us great advice for our wedding day. They were a little more expensive than what I was originally looking for but it was absolutely worth it. We received our pictures just a couple weeks after our big day and they are just perfect!

tive to our day running as smooth as possible. Kate put us at ease immediately during our engagement photo shoot and we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Noah and Staci shot our wedding and got some amazing shots of our ceremony snd reception. When things ran behind, they rolled with the punches keeping us informed and made my husband laugh who is uncomfortable with photography. We would highly recommend them and hope to use them for other projects in the future if possible.

y did an amazing job. They are very personable and make sure to capture candid shots vs having you post in awkward positions. They are willing to travel and had a quick turnaround time for photos/edits. They are the sweetest, kindest people and we highly recommend booking for your future engagement/wedding shots.
100 star review for Kate Holt Photography!
From my first encounter with Kate as she photographed my best friend’s wedding this summer, I knew she was special. Her joy, easy going ...
manner, professionalism, and calmness is a fantastic combination as a photographer—and her photos are fabulous too!
When my fiancé and I reached out to Kate, they we initially interacted with her husband (and business partner), Dom. He gave off similar kind and knowledgeable vibes. The first step was to confirm if we would all be a good fit to work together, as well as which photographer and package options we wanted and/or could afford.
While quality wedding photography is not cheap, comparatively we found that their pricing was competitive, even reasonable in comparison to other photographers whose work we liked.
We ended up with Kate being the one to photograph our wedding, and we (and all our family and friends who interacted with Kate) felt like both before the wedding day, but especially during the day of that she went above and beyond in big and small ways in her role and contribution to our special day. Cannot recommend Kate and Dom and their company highly enough.
We first met Kate after winning an adventure engagement photoshoot. I had followed her on Instagram for a while and was a big fan of her light and bright style. She and her husband...
Dom were so wonderful to work with, we couldn’t imagine having our wedding with any other photographers! My husband was worried about feeling comfortable in front of the camera, but Kate was always excited to see us and gave great tips about posing. She made us feel and look beautiful and comfortable the whole day. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off of our faces and were able to concentrate on our happiness rather than worrying about how our pictures would turn out. She captured every detail to perfection, so we can relive the little things we worked hard to plan or didn’t have time to focus on. Kate has a lot of resources for couples and is extremely responsive via email. She returned our sneak peeks even faster than normal, at the request of my mother-in-law, just so she could show her friends who were unable to come to the wedding. Additionally, our whole gallery was sent to us in just a few weeks! That’s faster than most people get their first pictures back! Kate and Dom really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and special. We heartily recommend Kate Holt photography to other couples!

having fun and engaged during all the portraits and all of her photos turned out more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. Choosing Kate as my photographer was one of the best wedding decisions I made! Especially if you are having an outdoor wedding, Kate is your girl!

Kate is incredible!! She has such talent for capturing beautiful moments and has a professional process from start to finish. She and her team are such a pleasure to work with. She...
’s a pro through and through- she thinks of every detail and has so many helpful tips to plan your special day right down to timeline templates. She coordinates with videographers and other vendors seamlessly. She took the stress out of wedding planning and was so kind when I was worried about all the minor details. She’s so experienced, she helped me feel confident that the day would go exactly as I planned, and it did!
She photographed our engagement & family photos ahead of our wedding and then our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and the experience. She even got my 8 year old stepson to have a natural smile and he loved working with her! We got a Photo Booth for the wedding which was such a hit and made a great guest book! I interviewed so many photographers and no one came close to the gorgeous photos and professional process that Kate has. Aside from being an amazing photographer, she is also just such a kind, bright, and good person! If you want a photographer for life, choose Kate Holt Photography!
