Hello couples!! I'm so excited to talk with you about planning your dream wedding. I do customized photo packages - so once you reach out, I'll respond with a few questions! I've been photographing weddings for over 5 years and I am based in Liberty Township, OH (right in between Cincinnati & Dayton!) and serve the tri-state area. I love capturing your love-filled wedding memories. I believe I'm friendly and super passionate about helping you have the most amazing day, by photographing your details, connection, and all the immaculate vibes.
I fell in love with photography early on in life and discovered my ability in combining romantic narratives with the settings of my photoshoots. I launched my business in 2018 and began photographing weddings in 2020. I love the uniqueness of each love story and I strive to highlight that through your photos. It's also important to me to photograph weddings for what they are - happy, bright, joyful, fun, and loving.
I offer one essential package that is $4200 (that is seriously everything you need for a perfect day!) and would love to chat with you today about finding the perfect fit! I am able to customize packages for elopements and smaller weddings. I also offer add-on options such as rehearsal dinner coverage, bridal sessions, and albums!

I know this may sound obvious, but I LOVE taking photos! It became a passion of mine early on in life. I started taking pictures of flowers, parks, and landscapes and discovered how much I enjoyed the breathtaking beauty nature had to offer. One day, I asked my sister and her fiancé to accompany me to a few parks, and I started taking their pictures. I discovered the blend of taking the beauty of a natural landscape and the sweetness of a love story and blending the two together. From there, I was hooked on incorporating the two!

This is a review not from the Bride, but the Mother of the Bride. I didn't have the initial contact with Kate, but from what my daughter told me, Kate was prompt, professional, and always available to answer her questions. When I saw the engagement photos, I knew Kate was the right choice. Wow! The engagement photos were stunning! This is a great way for the photographer to know the couple and the couple to know the photographer. No surprise meet the photographer the day of the wedding. Kate also met us at the venue months before to know the grounds and locations for the perfect shot. Even the time of sunset was known for the perfect twilight photos. Kate helped coordinate the timeline. The day of the wedding, Kate had two assistants with her. All three photographers worked together and were the kindest, nicest women. All three were professional and handled certain "family dynamics" discretely. We were shown a few shots at the reception and I had tears because I knew Kate caught great memories of a beautiful day. When I saw the photos in the gallery, I was blown away by the amazing photos. As Mother of the Bride, would I recommend Kate Legters?? Yes! A thousand times yes!

Kate is the best! Kate took our engagement photos in October 2023 and then shot our wedding September 2024. Kate was great to work with - very knowledgeable, personable, and creative. She made my husband who is not comfortable in front of the camera, feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were beautiful and captured the fall vibes I was going for. Kate was very responsive to every question I had leading up to the big day and helped create our wedding day timeline. Bobbi Sue and Morgan helped Kate capture our wedding day. I’m so glad Kate had Bobbi Sue and Morgan to get different angles and go through our shot list efficiently. We received our wedding day gallery 5 weeks after our wedding and the photos are perfect. I highly recommend Kate to any Cincinnati or Dayton bride looking for a wedding photographer.

There are no words to describe how much we loved working with Kate and her team. They were OUTSTANDING. Our pictures are so gorgeous, and Kate makes everyone feel so comfortable. From start to finish, she made our day 1000 times better. I am still getting compliments on how amazing her and her team were, and how helpful they were on our wedding day. Kate helped me put together our entire timeline, finalize details, and brought my vision to life. The amount of effort and energy she puts into her passion is truly remarkable. She is the most down to earth and talented person, and you can tell she really loves what she does. I would recommend Kate to absolutely everyone. She is the BEST. I am so lucky that she was part of our big day. 100000000/10

Kate and her team were nothing short of amazing!
From the initial consultation to the final delivery, Kate went above and beyond to make our experience easy, enjoyable, and fun!
Kate responded quickly to my inquiry and was super informative and personable. She offered to meet with us before finalizing everything and was flexible with dates and times which I very much appreciate. About a week or so after we signed our contract and paid our retainer fee we received the cutest most thoughtful package in the mail that included an insanely unique luxe magazine that goes over so many pertinent wedding details and tips. It was extremely helpful and useful in more ways than just a wedding photography aspect. It quickly became transparent that Kate genuinely cared about our wedding as a whole and not just from a photographer standpoint. She is also knowledgeable on other wedding details and vendors outside of photography if you need insight or recommendations (which is helpful to have) She frequently “checked-in” to see how things were going and really made the effort to keep the line of communication open after we secured her for our date—she was one of our first vendors booked so the fact that our wedding was on her radar a whole year in advance was so comforting and reassuring. Solid communication with your wedding vendors is huge and Kate was exceptionally great at that!
Our engagement shoot was a blast and she 1000% understood the assignment. I wanted a city elopement vibe and she and Morgan killed it! The idea of getting in front of a camera to take some of the most important photos you will have in your life can be nerve racking however, very soon after we started the nerves were gone. Kate's approach is exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. She guides and prompts you yet still leaves plenty of room for what I like to call the candid magic.
On the day of, Kate and her team showed up ready to go. Unlike myself who has never been through the process of being a bride, it was very apparent that this was not their first rodeo. One of my favorite things about Kate is that she would ask me for my opinion on things or run something by me and my response was always “I trust you. Whatever you think, I trust you. Tell us what to do and we will do it!” Having that kind of confidence and trust in someone who is capturing some of the most raw and important moments you will have in your lifetime is exactly what you want and need on your wedding day.
Aside from how badass she is, her photos and what she is able to capture from behind her lens are immaculate and if I could go back and do it all over again I would still elect Kate to be a part of my team!
If you’re looking for a romantic, bright, and airy photography style and like working with people who are down to earth, kind, and personable, Kate Legters Photography is what you’re looking for!!

I don't even know where to begin!
Kate was absolutely amazing to work with from day 1. She communicated flawlessly & was always available to answer any of my questions/requests. She even worked last minute on a holiday so that we could get our engagement session in before my (now) husband had to leave town. The photos she captures are absolutely beautiful & timeless; they captured every emotion & special moment from our wedding day. We've received so many compliments from friends & family that we've shared them with. Not only that, but Kate was extremely professional & timely on our wedding day, she was a calm presence that definitely helped me as a bride! We can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer - thank you for everything Kate! :)

She does AMAZING work. I was so upset it rained on our day but she made everything better and the photos still turned out amazing. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone!

Kate was amazing! I was getting recs from others and they just wern't what I was looking for. I found Kate through the knot and once we had our consultation- I knew she was the one! Her and her team are professional and they LISTEN to what you want. Her online portal to view/order photos is so user friendly. Our engagement photos and our wedding day photos are absolutely perfect. I love them so much! Her work speaks for itself, but working with her as a person was the most enjoyable. I know that we will be using her in the future as we hit more milestones as a couple ;) Don't wait- book her today!!!!

Hiring Kate as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during the wedding planning process! Not only is Kate incredibly talented and takes stunning photos, she is also genuinely sweet, personable, and truly cares so much about her clients! She was very responsive anytime I had questions and made time for multiple phone/zoom calls to assist my husband and I with creating the perfect wedding day timeline. Not to mention Kate makes getting your picture taken so much fun! My husband, who normally is not a huge fan when it comes to getting photos taken, went on about how pleasant and comfortable it was taking our engagement pictures with Kate. After receiving our gorgeous photos from our engagement session, we knew our wedding pictures were going to be perfect. Kate and her team captured so many beautiful moments of our wedding day and we will truly cherish the photos forever. I could not recommend Kate enough, she is the best of the best!

Right off the bat after our first phone call with Kate I knew we had made the right decision! Kate was so personable and knowledgable throughout this entire process. She even drove a lengthy distance to meet us for our engagement photos; that just shows how much she cares about and is committed to her clients! Kate did a wonderful job communicating with us right up until the wedding day and made all of our wedding photo dreams come true. Getting a sneak peek 24 hours after the wedding was unbelievably special, and our wedding photos came back 10 DAYS after our wedding!! Friends and family cannot stop talking about how beautiful they are. Kate's eye for special moments and her editing style is just incomparable. Her bright, colorful, detailed style makes you feel like you are living your day all over again while looking at the photos! If you are thinking about booking with Kate, do it!! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding day.

Wow, I don't even know where to begin with Kate. Not only is she the GOAT when it comes to wedding photography but she is an absolutely amazing person all around! From the very start she is outstanding with her communication, her time line was awesome and she even brings all the extras that you could need! I first met Kate at my engagement photos and we had a great night, we just couldn't stop laughing. I was shocked with how quickly we received the engagement and the wedding photos too! When she walked in on the wedding day, it was so great to see it! She took my box of 'details' for the details photos, which to be honest I did not put any thought into - well - it didn't matter because she knew exactly how to make them turn out perfect! If you are looking for light beautiful photos that you will cherish a lifetime with an amazing photographer that will not make you feel awkward taking pictures - CHOOSE KATE!

Kate was amazing to work with from start to finish. Our engagement and wedding day photos were so beautiful and were everything we had hoped they would be and more. We had never had professional photos done before, so going into the engagement session we were nervous. Kate was so friendly and easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. The timeline she provided for the wedding day was so incredibly helpful and made the day go so smoothly. Communication was great and we received our photos in a timely manner. We are incredibly grateful we chose Kate to photograph our big day!

Kate and her team were wonderful to work with. Despite not usually enjoying getting our pictures taken, we felt so comfortable during the engagement session and on the wedding day. She was able to make the sessions feel authentic and less staged. We could not be more pleased with our sneak peeks and we are patiently waiting for the full gallery. Her pictures are timeless and so beautiful. Jacob and I highly recommend her to anyone getting married!!

Kate is the BEST photographer in all categories. I can’t express how amazing she truly is. Kate is more than a photographer, she is truly someone I’ve connected with and will use for all my big moments in life. She has been with us from engagement to wedding without skipping a beat. If you are looking for a personalized experience and someone who will be there through all things wedding or life… Kate is your gal! Thank you so much Kate for all that you’ve done. I’m obsessed with the photos.

Kate was so much fun to work with and provided extra services that really helped out on our wedding day, such as timeline planning and coming out before the wedding to help us pick photo locations. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Kate made sure to meet all of our photography needs and delivered our gallery in a timely fashion. Even though we had only met once before the wedding, she was so easy and fun to work with, it felt like a friend was with us all day, which helped my husband and I to feel comfortable and be able to relax. I absolutely love our images and have gotten many compliments about them. My bridesmaids have even reached out to Kate to inquire for their own weddings. She does amazing work and I hope to be able to work with her again in the future.

Kate is amazing. Viewing her portfolio you can see her beautiful photography and editing style. We absolutely love the photos from our engagement session and our wedding day, but that wasn't even the best part about working with Kate. Kate was so professional, organized, supportive, and definitely a planner - exactly the kind of photographer you want by your side on your wedding day. She was more than happy to answer questions or concerns I had about lighting, outfits for engagement sessions, flowers, best locations, what do to in case of rain, and the list goes on and on. I remember the first email she sent me when I reached out about her wedding day packages was so detailed and friendly compared to other photographers I reached out to. At that point, I knew from her communication style that she would be a joy to work with. You can tell Kate loves photography and is always up for a challenge! Despite her bright editing style, I really wanted to do an engagement session in a dark library. Kate was all for it and did an amazing job. Kate made us feel very comfortable and gave us the direction we needed for BEAUTIFUL engagement and wedding photos that I'm so excited about!

Photography was the most important aspect of our day, so I was fairly particular when it came to researching photographers. I called seven photographers, and Kate stood out. Her talent and editing style is impeccable. She has mastered the bright, airy style without her photos looking washed out. Her talent, coupled with her sweet, nurturing personality, won me over.
The entire engagement she was a huge comfort to me. For instance, I was concerned about how faux flowers would photograph. I was able to send her pictures of our bouquets ahead of time and she gave me feedback. This really put me at ease. We received ENDLESS compliments on our engagement session. The entire engagement, I was telling people that the vendor we had no concerns about was our photographer. We knew she would do amazing work and she did.
My husband and I did not want to do a first look, but we were concerned about missing a large part of our reception for our photos. She was so efficient that she kept us ahead of schedule, and we were actually able to enter our reception early! This was such a pleasant surprise for us.
We would 1000% recommend Kate for your wedding day. You will walk away with a new friend and plenty of incredible pictures. We even got to see a sneak peak at our reception!
Thanks Kate!

We had the absolute best experience with Kate as our wedding photographer. She was so kind, knowledgeable, so inviting to be around and made us extremely comfortable - especially for two people who had never had their pictures professionally done before. She helped with our timeline organization and how we wanted both of our dates to feel, and led the way into many different types of shots we didn’t know we wanted! We were a mess with planning and she acted as so much more than a photographer for us. We cannot wait to use her again and could not recommend her enough!

Hiring Kate as our photographer was the best decision I made! As soon as we talked for the first time, I knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to work with during the whole process, from planning engagement photos to making the wedding timeline to the actual wedding day. She was always quick to respond, and she never made me feel silly for all of my questions. Kate is professional, while also feeling like a friend. She made me (and everyone else) feel so comfortable. My family and bridesmaids had nothing but positive things to say about working with Kate. The turnaround time for photos was about a month, which is quicker than I expected for how many photos she produced, and we got a sneak peak right away. I would highly recommend Kate and hope to use her again in the future!

Spectacular!
Hiring Kate to photograph one of the best days of your life is one of the best decisions you could make. So many people have commented on how beautiful our engagement and wedding photos are. Kate’s ability to capture all of the love is truly one of a kind and I can’t say enough nice things about her or the experience of working with her. Not only is the output spectacular, but working with her was absolutely seamless and organized. Planning a wedding has some really stressful parts, but I can assure you, Kate is not one of them. You will be so thankful for the magical photos taken by Kate that will provide you an absolute lifetime of joy!!

Kate is the absolute BOMB.COM!!! If we could give 100 stars we would! We stumbled upon Kate’s IG well before our wedding date, and we both knew we HAD to have her as our photographer. She is super down to earth, engaging, easy to talk to and pose in front of (lol), reliable, knowledgeable and so much more! She did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding photos. We haven’t received a single picture we didn’t like! Not only that, she is super timely and always asks for your input/style/what have you. She truly takes the time to get to know her couples before she jumps into action with her camera. She even helped us with our wedding timeline, making sure our big day was perfect. She is honestly the sweetest soul, and looks out for her brides! We are impressed, pleased, and so thankful to have her talent to look back on for years to come. Look no further, Kate is your girl for all your photography needs! Absolutely amazing! Thank you Kate!!!

There are so many great qualities about Kate! She is a fantastic communicator, very responsive, extremely organized, so friendly, and of course takes beautiful photos! After viewing her portfolio online and after the first call we had with Kate, we knew she was the photographer for us. Working with Kate made the wedding planning process go so smoothly. In addition to providing photo details and timeline suggestions, she was a great reference for literally any wedding related questions. She was one of the most reliable and professional individuals I had met! I felt so comfortable working with her and she made us feel so special on our wedding day. All of our photos were very clean, bright, and we had a variety to choose from! We received many compliments on our photos and are so happy we found Kate.

Kate was hand down the best photographer we could of asked for, her personality is so positive and comforting I felt so comfortable being around her. The photos she takes are immaculate, very crisp and clean. Between the engagement photos and the wedding photos there's not 1 bad photo. Her partner was also wonderful to work with as well. They both captured the say so well when I look back it's like I'm living it all over again! I had a few guests at the wedding say how wonderful they were too.

If you're looking for an amazing photographer- look no further! You've found her! From the first phone call we had with Kate we immediately felt comfortable. She eased all of our concerns and answered all of our questions, with how the planning was typically done, what the timeline typically consists of in regards to photography, what to do when the timeline may not go as planned. As a couple we had never had professional pictures taken, so comfortability was extremely important to us when it came to finding a photographer since we didn't really know what to expect. We wanted to feel comfortable behind the camera and she made it happen.
Working with Kate was the BEST decision we have ever made. She made us feel like we had known her for years. It was so fun getting to work with her throughout the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding Kate made sure that everyone was themselves and not just posing for portraits. ALL of our bridal party RAVED about how welcomed they felt and how she was the best hype woman.
She was so fun to work with and always had a smile on her face. She worked with our wedding coordinator and helped to plan the perfect timeline for pictures and the day itself. Kate did an outstanding job with our pictures and they are something that we show our family and friends, and get so many compliments on how beautiful they are! She made sure that we not only captured the most intimate part of our day, but as well as all of the fun we had!
We truly could don't have asked to work with someone so talented and kind. Kate is someone that we will continue to support because she supported us so well on our big day. We're forever grateful to her for making us feel so comfortable from the very beginning and throughout the entire wedding planning process.
