Kate Holt Photography

for our big day. Dom is a great communicator and has a gift for making people comfortable in front of the camera. He is so much fun to work with! He’ll make you laugh and enjoy the process. From our engagement session, to our wedding day, everything went off seamlessly and we had the best time. A great photographer makes all the difference and working with Dom and Kate Holt Photography was one of the best choices we made in our wedding season. 10/10. Highly recommend.

nd a spot outside of the venue that ended up being our favorite. All of our friends and family were jealous of the sneak peek pictures that came back. Kate and her team are responsive, give lots of information to prepare you, and present details that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. They are a must for your wedding!!

ess of getting everyone together and posed well for the photos :). She really relieved a lot of the pressure and stress from the wedding. She arrived early, was well dressed, had our timeline in mind and we got amazing photos. She was happy to accommodate for my requests and we got all the photos we were wanting! Thanks so much Kate :).

hotography.  Our experience with both the engagement session and the wedding was flawless.  And the results speak for themselves.  We have so many gorgeous photos to choose from.  Thank you Dom and Trang (and Kate, too) for capturing this special day for us!

d stress free. Her personality is infectious, and she has such a natural way of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, even the people who usually hate having their photos taken! Our wedding photos are absolutely STUNNING. The quality, attention to detail, and way she captured all of the little moments throughout the day is beyond anything we could have imagined. Every photo feels so genuine and brings us right back to the emotions of our wedding day. Kate also went above and beyond for us. She stayed later than planned just to make sure we could capture even more photos and moments, and that meant so much to us. She never made us feel rushed and genuinely seemed just as excited as we were to capture every special moment. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is incredibly talented, kind, fun, professional, and will make you feel completely comfortable, BOOK KATE. We are so incredibly grateful that she was the one who captured our wedding day, and we will treasure these photos forever. 🤍

eel so comfortable, felt like we were getting pictures taken by a longtime friend. She gives direction well and I couldn't have asked for a more smooth wedding day! We are thrilled with the final product and so fortunate that we got to work with her!

to me because of how beautiful, natural, and light-filled her images were, but it was her personality that truly won me over. She is incredibly kind, genuine, professional, and so much fun to be around. From the planning process through the wedding, working with Kate was an amazing experience. She has a fantastic client portal and communication system, is always quick to respond, and made everything feel organized and stress-free. On our wedding day, our hair and makeup ran over an hour behind schedule, and I was worried about how it would affect everything. Kate stayed completely calm, worked seamlessly with my planner and me to adjust the timeline, and somehow still captured every important moment without making us feel rushed. Her professionalism and flexibility made such a difference. Although we haven’t received our full gallery yet, we received an incredibly generous sneak peek just a few days after our wedding, and we were absolutely blown away. There were so many photos, and they beautifully captured every part of our day. If these previews are any indication of what’s to come, I know our full gallery is going to be incredible. Her editing style is timeless, bright, and natural, and every image feels authentic and full of life. Kate also went above and beyond throughout the day: helping fix little details, adjusting my dress and veil, guiding us into natural poses, and making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an incredible ability to give direction while still making everything feel relaxed and genuine. I cannot recommend Kate Holt Photography highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also a calming, encouraging, and genuinely wonderful person to have by your side on your wedding day, Kate is the one. Based on our experience so far, I would hire her again in a heartbeat for any future photography needs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer.

o need any kind of photos done! 

ted more than once, but they adapted effortlessly, capturing every important moment without missing a beat! The lighting throughout the day was tricky in several spots, but you'd never know it looking at our photos. Honestly, our pictures look like they're straight off a movie set. Beyond the incredible skill, what stood out the most was how calm, kind, and attentive they were all day. they made us feel completely at ease, which made such a difference on an already emotional day. We would highly recommend Kate Holt Photography!

bly perfect I was in shock! And they are the absolute sweetest people to work with! If you want the best experience ever that exceeds everything you ever dreamed, hire Kate holt photography, because they are, in my opinion, the best photographers ever!

lt they were a great fit! We were paired up with Gabby as our photographer for both our engagement session and our wedding day. Gabby is PHENOMENAL! She is so friendly, sweet, and professional, and she makes the sessions feel fun and stress-free. She offered to carry out items for us to keep our pockets empty for photos, she was so knowledgeable about the area we did our engagement photos, she was able to help us pose in ways that looks so beautiful in pictures (which was especially helpful for us who never get our pictures taken!) she was even able to get our dog to cooperate in the pictures, which is no easy feat! On our wedding day, Gabby worked so quickly and got so many pictures done ahead of our timeline, so nothing was missed! She was everywhere with her camera, catching so many special moments I didn’t even realize she was capturing! I am so excited to see my full wedding set because everything that I’ve seen from the sneak peeks is stunning. We recommend the Kate Holt photography team for anyone looking for high-quality photos and an equally high-quality experience!!

we got our money’s worth and then some. They were fun, energetic, and very amenable to the specific needs/wants that came up during our planning. For goodness sake we moved to Washington in the middle of our planning and thanks to good luck they were flexible enough to do our engagement photoshoot in WA since they happened to be in the area! On the actual wedding day itself Kate was taking photos of the bride and bridesmaids, as well as every other person hanging around us in the room, laughing and taking ridiculous photos of us so we could remember the fun we had getting ready for the day. She also captured very emotional moments as they happened, both acting as a shadow to capture the important moments and a hype girl to help capture all the fun ones. As for the boys, Dom was a great help for the groomsmen playing along and took part in the fun we were having as a group. They were also instrumental in planning and organizing our private vows, and first look. On top of all that, they produced some stunning photos that we will be cherishing for the rest of our lives. They truly captured the emotions of the day in their shots. They were a great help in being there when we needed them, and excellent and blending into the crowd when we didn't. Probably the best vendor we had that day and we will hire them again any day if we have any photography needs in the future.

ed every moment beautifully!

at our venue. I absolutely love our photos, especially getting them only 2 weeks after our wedding (perks of a March wedding). If you’re considering Kate and Dom, you can’t go wrong!!!

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.

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.

the process of everything, my questions were answered, communication was quick and officiant and after the wedding I got all my photos back within the time frame they said they’d be back to me. I cannot recommend Kate and her team enough, they are simply the best.

d professional. We had such a great time at our wedding with Noah and Tranh, working with them was so fun and we felt taken care of every step of the way. We got our sneak peak photos less than a week after and they look absolutely incredible!! We are so thankful to have worked with them! 🩷🩷🩷

-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. ❤

s. Highly recommend! 

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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!!!

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!

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!

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

people.

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!

he rest of Kate Holt Photography. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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! :)

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
