Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I am based in Doylestown, PA and have over 16 years of experience in professionally documenting weddings in Philadelphia, New York, and surrounding areas. I specialize in natural documentation of your day as it unfolds, capturing the emotion of each moment, giving you the opportunity to relive your day through the photographs we've made. Never staged and always fluid, I believe your portraits should be a true reflection of who you are as a couple, not stiff pictures of a bride and groom. Being the center of attention can be a lot! I will direct you, knowing how to get the most relaxed and natural version of you on your wedding achieving images you will love and pass down through generations.

Things I love in no particular order: printed photo albums, running, tennis, painting and most forms of creative expression, a good book, a winter fire and when my husband puts on the exact music I am in the mood for. I find photographing relationships gratifying, the ability to make the intangible tangible is a gift. Let's connect and talk about your wedding!

Kate was the photographer for my best friends wedding 5 years ago, so I had been following her work for a while. She has a way of capturing the essence of a moment, and talking to her I felt like I was talking to a friend I have been comfortable with for a while. Of course there are posed postures, but so much of what I love about her photographs are that it is like she wasn’t even there at all and somehow still captured this emotional raw moment. I loved working with Kate, and will be calling her again in the future for other important life events!

Kate is the best of the best! She was extremely responsive and professional from the moment we had a phone consultation to the day of our wedding. She exceeded our expectations - she captured raw, beautiful moments throughout our big day and I quite literally cried tears of joy looking through the photos when we first received them (which also came quickly!). She is respectful and her team is just as great to work with. The photographs turned out so great that my best friend, who is getting married in September 2025, booked her almost immediately after getting engaged. Kate was so easy to work with the day of and was not "pushy," and captured everything we asked for. I cannot wait to book Kate for future family photographs!!

I had a really wonderful experience working with Kate. I reached out to Kate earlier this year to inquire about her photographing our wedding. From our initial conversations, Kate was very professional, welcoming, and warm. I continued to be impressed by Kate when she showed up at the church to begin photographing myself and my family for our wedding ceremony and reception. Kate is extremely professional, but also down to earth and an absolute pleasure to be around. To top it off, her photography is stunning. She has a natural eye for the art of photography. She was a delight to have at our wedding and truly felt like a part of our family for those few hours. When I received the edited photos I was blown away. I’m so grateful to Kate for capturing such special moments for us. I will cherish and treasure our wedding photos for the rest of my life thanks to Kate. I highly recommend hiring Kate for your wedding photography or any photography for that matter, you will not be disappointed!

Kate is the absolute best. Looking through her photos felt like time traveling back to our wedding day- she captured all of the love and joy so authentically. Her professionalism really helped the day flow smoothly, as she kept us moving and found all the most beautiful spots for photos. So grateful for your beautiful work Kate!

Katie is the ultimate professional. She was super easy to work with throughout the planning process, taking into consideration all and any ideas/wants my husband and I had. Not only did she capture the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever, but she has a wonderful, calming way about her that made her presence throughout the day so welcomed.

Kate was by far the best decision we could have made for our photographer. She was professional, personable, and fun. Even though it downpoured on our special day, Kate captured amazing photographs and helped everyone have a good time (even the little flower girls). My extended family kept raving about Kate for her professionalism. Her photos are a work of art and we will treasure them forever. We would love to work with Kate again. She went above and beyond. 10/10 recommend!!!

A photographer was one of the only splurges I was willing to make on my wedding and I could not have picked a better person! The pictures were exactly what I envisioned. She is absolutely professional but still makes you feel like a good friend who is a part of the wedding.

Kate beautifully captured our wedding, and really showcased that the most stunning photos are genuine and candid. We hate being photographed, but Kate was warm and made us feel comfortable. We were so excited when we saw the final product; thank you so much Kate for portraying us in the most flattering light! (literally and figuratively!)

Kate was incredible! Leading up to our wedding, she was in constant communication with us to ensure she knew our “photo vision.” We told Kate the photos we wanted to be taken at the church and at the reception and she completed them all in a timely fashion! We got to enjoy our entire cocktail hour with our guests (because Kate was so good with knowing what the next photo was) which was so important to us! Throughout the day and night, I caught her taking some of the best photos and capturing so many special memories. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is tough but having an awesome photographer like Kate made it so much easier!

Kate is THE best wedding photographer-- our entire family (and friends) continue to hire Kate. Hands down best decision of our wedding day in September 2019!
We were lucky enough to receive Kate's name from my now sister in law who used Kate as her wedding photographer years ago. 4 couples (and counting) consisting of friends and family in NY, NJ, CT have hired Kate over many years now-- all with a variety of personalities and wedding venue. ALL OF US have been incredibly happy with our wedding photos. Ladies (and gentlemen), when you hire a photographer for the most important day of your life, PLEASE put in the time to consider the importance of a fabulous personality to best fit your needs on your wedding day along with the talent that shows through their prior work. After our first call with Kate, we knew right away that Kate understood us as a couple. Sure enough, on our wedding day, Kate captured all of the important moments without feeling too present or us noticing a camera around us. We are thrilled with her work-- her photography and our final album is STUNNING.
Kate Leigh checks ALL OF THE BOXES and will be the best decision you can make on your wedding day! Thank you, Kate for beautifully capturing our wedding day.

Choosing Kate to be our photographer was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning! From engagement shoot to wedding day, Kate was extremely responsive. She has a comfortable, calm, and confident vibe to her that was exactly what we wanted during our engagement shoot and wedding. As for our engagement shoot, the day we had scheduled was calling for storms. Kate seamlessly suggested rescheduling in advance, so we did not have to deal with any anxiety about the weather, which was much appreciated!
Leading up to the wedding we had a planning call, where we discuss what was important to us (minimal posed, lots of candids, and lots of partying!). On the wedding day, Kate tailored the day to exactly those things. She was very organized and efficient with getting us through the necessary formal pictures. And her second shooter was fantastic! What drew us to Kate's work was her ability to capture raw emotions in so many of her shots. That is 100% what we received from her work. I actually had someone comment on our wedding photos saying "you can almost hear the joy in these photos!".
Overall, Kate is an awesome person and fantastic to work with. We are still receiving compliments from family and friends! I would absolutely recommend her.

Kate was honestly amazing... I can't imagine working with anyone else. She is incredibly perceptive and understood us as a couple, the vision we had for our wedding, and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures immediately. She takes her job seriously, fully considering every idea (even the crazy ones!) we had, and even visited our venue with us a month before the wedding to scout out the best picture locations. And of course the day of, every time I felt like, "I want to hold on to this moment forever," there was Kate, capturing it. And the final product was simply stunning. So many incredible photos, expertly capturing each emotion and moment, and the beautiful landscape of our venue.

Kate was wonderful to work with and took beautiful photos of our ceremony and cocktail party! She also took beautiful photographs of my husband and I around the outdoor venue we were at. We were not goi g to hire a photographer originally and changed our mind three days beforehand. Someone recommended Kate and she was luckily available. She agreed to just shoot a couple hours and understood exactly what we were looking for. We are so glad we met her and highly recommend!!

Kate was amazing and perfect for our wedding - I cannot recommend her enough! She communicated with us throughout the entire process, and was very quick to respond to emails and phone calls as needed. We were planning a wedding from several states away, and she was flexible and helpful with her knowledge of our venue and the area.
Our families and friends LOVE the photographs. She took a great mix of traditional shots with several priceless candids. Kate was great at getting photographs without it feeling too staged - I didn't even realize she was around for some of the photographs she took. She made me feel completely at ease with the posed shots (I prefer to be behind the camera than in front of it), and her composition and use of light and colors is beautiful. I am so thankful we had Kate to document our beautiful day!

Kate was a boss from Day 1 and helped us arrange all of our engagement/wedding photo needs. She traveled to NYC on short notice to take advantage of a sunny day and always provided her best ideas for our shots. The day of our wedding she knocked out of the park, and her assistant for the day was fantastic as well. Thank you so much again!

As my husband and I prepared for our wedding, I dreaded picking a photographer. As someone who hates getting their picture taken, I couldn’t stand the idea of being in front of a camera all day. Once I talked to Katie;however, I was instantly at ease. She was fun, flexible, professional, yet laid back. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and came with great energy! She felt more like a friend than a photographer. My husband and I could not have been more thrilled with the images. She caught beautiful candies and accommodated all the family portraits we asked for. I hope to work with Katie again in the future and would highly recommend her for any occasion!

Everyone in my family and bridal party felt comfortable and at ease during all of the formal shots. She documented the emotion and excitement for the day so beautifully. The candid pictures of our family and friends perfectly captures their personalities and the moments we shared. I cannot say enough great things about her and hope to work with her again!

Simply put, Kate was amazing. When my (now) wife and I met with Kate, we instantly knew she was going to be the photographer for us. Her reviews were great, and her book was top notch. Stylistically she had a ton of range and was exactly what we were looking for.
Leading up to the wedding, she was professional, responsive, and a big help. She really took our vision and ran with it.
At the wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staged photos beforehand all went smoothly and quickly. During the ceremony, she got every picture we could have asked for and more. And during the group photos after she made it through our extensively photo list quickly without feeling rushed. She has a great eye for location and picked some beautiful spots.
During the reception, Kate and her assistant were seemingly everywhere without being noticed. She captured some amazing candids of just about everyone in attendance. We've been giving these pictures as gifts for well over a year now!
Kate also has a really great eye for lighting. Visit her facebook or instagram and you can see what I mean. She took some absolute stunners of us on the patio of our venue just as the sun set and the outdoor lights came on. It's probably the best picture ever taken of me.
After the wedding, she was very expedient in getting us our proofs back. We only waited a few weeks and, boom, there they were. It was like reliving that night all over again :)
The proofs that we ordered were great and the book that we got from her will be cherished for the rest of our lives. We even splurged and got 2 giant photos framed for our wall. Her photography will be gracing our home for the foreseeable future.
I would have rated her higher, but I can only give 5 stars. I would highly highly highly recommend Kate.

From a business standpoint, Kate was proactive in staying on top of key dates, deadlines and specific requests. We found her from attending a friends wedding she had shot a couple of years before ours and asked for her name and contact info because we liked what we saw.
As a photographer, she does an excellent job at capturing more natural style pictures (in addition to the usual posed pictures) during the event. We hired her for an engagement shoot and as our wedding day photographer (she also had an assistant/second camera for the wedding that did a nice job as well) - we were very pleased with her work and timeliness in delivering the final pictures to us.
Overall, very fun, personable and easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend.

I have, quite possibly, the most beautiful wedding photo album of all time. Not only is Kate a dream to work with, so calming and wonderful, but she takes unbelievable photographs. She managed to capture all of the beauty of our special day as well as the emotions that everyone was experiencing. I can't say enough about how much I loved working with her and about how happy I am with the final product!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate and am beyond thrilled that we had the opportunity to work with her for our recent wedding. We reached out to Kate with very short notice leading up to our wedding date and from our very first discussion knew right away that her perspective, energy and beautiful work was exactly what we were looking for. Kate was extremely professional and responsive from start to finish and she really listened to what we were looking for. She even recommended other talented local artists and vendors that she had successfully worked with on other weddings which was much appreciated. The day of the wedding, her calm energy meshed right in with our family and friends and you can see how she was able to capture truly candid, authentic and precious moments that we will always cherish from our special day. Kate's an uber-talented pleasure and I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you for everything, Kate! You're the best!

Although is being a year since we said I do....I have such great memories thanks to Kate. The engament session was so relaxed, she made us feel confortable. We didn't even feel we were in a photo session. But what i liked the most is that kate made sure to capture all the right moments, so natural....she nailed them...Kate has a great eye and vision. My wedding photos were stunning. What impressed me was that the camera that Kate used had no flash which did not interfere with the video camara's light. I though that was awesome because all the pictures were bright, perfect. When i watched my wedding video i did not see any flashes popping. Overall kate does a great job, i would definitely hire her services again.

Kate photographed our Jersey City wedding in 2011 and did a wonderful job! It was a very, very hot summer day, yet you would never know it from looking at the photographs. She was calm and cool throughout the day as we visited a few different locations to take photos, and she captured some very special moments that we still treasure today, five years later. We love her work so much that Kate has become the "official" photographer for our family -- she has since photographed us for maternity, newborn, family portraits and my brother's wedding. We've really appreciated having her capture our family's most important moments. Not only is she a talented photographer, but she's also a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Kate!

We used Kate for our wedding in October 2014 after seeing how great of a job she did for my sister's wedding in 2008. We were more than pleased with Kate's work and absolutely love our pictures! She has a way of capturing the moment without even knowing she is there! From the time we first met with Kate at a coffee shop in town to the day of the wedding, Kate was always super responsive, helpful, offered important insight, laid back, and super easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Kate Leigh to anyone looking for a down to earth, easy going, talented photographer with a great eye!

Her calm demeanor was very relaxing and comforting - I felt like I could trust her with everything the day of my wedding. Her pictures not only captured the happiness of our wedding day but she was able to capture true love and beauty in each picture she took. We couldn't be happier with everything she did for us!

Kate is such a pro! We truly couldn't have been happier with how our wedding photos turned out although neither of us were surprised at how much we loved them knowing that we put Kate in charge. She completely put us at ease from the moment we started our engagement shoot and we had so much fun shooting around the city with her and we knew we had made the right decision for our wedding.
Our wedding day was made extra stressful due to some weather issues, but Kate was such a calming presence. Her eye is incredible and the backgrounds and shots she was able to get even in less than ideal weather conditions were stunning.
Most importantly and what our friends and family have commented on was Kate's ability to capture emotion. I don't regret my decision not to hire a videographer because our wedding proofs are so full of meaning and emotion that we feel like we are re-living every second of our wedding day when we look at them.
No question choosing Kate was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!

My wife and I spent a lot of time trying to find the photographer that we wanted to work with, and we couldn’t have been more lucky to have found Kate. Kate was very helpful and provided great suggestions to us from the start. We even did our engagement pictures with Kate in New Hope. She has such a great vision and really knows how to capture the moment. Even for someone like myself who doesn’t like to take pictures for a long time, she made it such an enjoyable experience. Not only was Kate amazing on the day of our wedding at Hotel Du Village, but looking at all our pictures now we are so happy we worked with her. All of our friends and family love the pictures so much. We can’t wait to work with Kate again in the future.

Kate was absolutely amazing. She was professional, really fun and comfortable to be around. Our wedding day was captured just how we wanted. I love that she had me give her a list of any specific shots I wanted so she would be sure not to miss them. She managed to get all the photos I could have wanted without intruding on the day at all. Having never had a professional photographer before I was worried I would get annoyed by always being dragged away from the reception to take pictures. That couldn't have been farther from the truth. She managed to always grab the picture at just the right moment and I never felt for a second like I was being interrupted or missing the party. She took the time to learn who was who in my family in order to make sure she got all the important shots. Kate even handled a potentially awkward situation with a family member she knew I wasn't nuts about like a total pro and smoothed it over seamlessly. She was so much fun and so friendly and our pictures are gorgeous. I'd recommend her to anybody and everybody. I wish I had another event coming up just so I could work with her again!

The reason I chose Kate is because it was clear through her pictures that she knows how to take shots that catch the candid moments in a vary natural way. The pictures looked stunning, natural and beautiful and yet still persona; and special. She was easy to work with (and my family is crazy!) and made everything easy and approachable. I was so happy with my pictures! She delivered amazing albums and prints after the wedding that I love. I would highly recommend Kate Leigh!

Kate Leigh Photography is the best! Our wedding was about five years ago. From that moment on, Kate has photographed the most important moments in our lives. From our engagement and wedding photos, to documenting the birth of our children and growing family...we wouldn't trust any other photographer with our most precious memories. Kate will capture the essence of your event into the most beautiful keepsakes. Her photography is artwork...and her photos cover the walls in our house. Not only are her pictures amazing...she is extremely professional to work with, responsive, and competitively priced (especially for the outstanding product you receive). She made us feel super comfortable on our big day...and continues to do so even when we are trying to get photographs of our three young children. She is the consummate professional, but warm and engaging at the same time. Hiring Kate was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding. We feel so lucky to have our gorgeous photographs.

I was living in New York City at the time and researching photographers for my Pennsylvania wedding. I found Kate via the Knot and I have to say it was one of the best things that has ever happened to us! Kate delivered the most amazing wedding photos, definitely beyond our expectations. As many brides will tell you, the wedding day goes by so fast. It is hard to remember everything, but thankfully Kate captured so many incredible moments for us that we are able to look back on that day and feel like we are there all over again! We have since used Kate for our family photos every year since our wedding day. She is simply wonderful and her patience and warm personality make her a dream for anyone to work with. She is simply the best!

Kate was truly one of the best vendors to work with for our wedding day. She did both our engagement photos and day of and was just so easy to work with.
She listened, she wanted to truly know what our goal for the day was, and she over delivered. I really can't say enough good things about Kate, she's easy going, sweet, and her style is effortless. I would highly recommend- it's such an important part of the day and she will not let you down!

WOW! Although I already knew that Kate Leigh Photography would not disappoint, I was so beyond EXCITED to see the finished product. She is truly the best. She somehow knew how to capture all of the most beautiful moments of the day with what seemed to me as the blink of an eye! Kate is very talented. Her creative eye shines in every photo she takes. She has a special way of making you feel completely comfortable- allowing you to be in moment rather than being preoccupied with the thought of "I'm getting my picture taken..." She is professional, thoughtful, funny, and sweet- all things that make it very easy to recommend her to others.

Kate was the photographer at my wedding in September and she also brought an associate photographer with her for the day. Kate was very professional, fun, friendly, and made our wedding day special. She was not intrusive at all, we honestly barely noticed she was there, yet she was able to capture all of our special moments. We are so happy with Kate and her pictures and would recommend her to anyone!

Kate was wonderful to work with from day 1! She was the photographer at my sister-in-law's wedding several years back and I knew from the second I saw her photos I wanted her as my wedding photographer. She was the first thing I booked after the venue! It was one less stressful thing off my plate knowing Kate was shooting our photos. She captured every important detail of my wedding and the most beautiful portraits of my husband and me. My entire family loved working with her and she was never in the way throughout the day. My husband and I are not people who are comfortable in front of the camera but felt so comfortable with her on our wedding day. Throughout all of our photos she was able to capture our sense of humor and happiness. We are so thrilled to have amazing photos for years to come and cannot wait to use Kate again in the future!

Kate was great to work with from day one. Kate did both our engagement and wedding photos and we received endless compliments on both. Kate is super sweet and easy to work with. She is great at capturing those candid moments and always makes you feel comfortable. She is creative but open to your ideas. I highly recommend her for your upcoming wedding- you won't be disappointed!!

Kate Leigh came very highly recommended by both of my sisters-in-law, who'd also used her for their weddings. I'd seen their beautiful photo albums, but since I'm an A-type perfectionist, I still did an extensive amount of research and met with other photographers to get a sense of what was out there. I also spent hours on Kate's website, looking through her blog photos. They're absolutely captivating - - no one even came close. None of the cheesy, posed shots. Very artsy, very natural. So, we decided to continue the family tradition and use her for our wedding as well.
Having seen her work, we fully expected that our wedding photos would be just as good. But nothing prepared us for just how incredibly beautiful they would be. We were blown away - - they were simply perfect. Kate truly has a gift. She captured so many intimate, special moments from so many unique angles. The most difficult thing for us was actually narrowing down the photos we wanted in our album because there were so many great ones from which to choose.
Another notable thing about Kate is that she has an uncanny, unobtrusive way of blending into the crowd, so we never really realized that she was there, snapping away. She has such a calming presence and a wonderful, easygoing personality - - exactly who you'd want by your side on the most important day of your life. Yet, she was still able to somehow control our large wedding party and to get all of the formal shots that we'd requested in a relatively short period of time between the wedding and reception.
Anyone who has seen our photos has told us that they're they best they've ever seen. And we, of course, have to agree. Thank you, Kate - - we will treasure them always.

I used Katie as my wedding photographer and could not be happier with that choice! She not only took the most amazing photos that I will forever cherish, but she was also so professional and made me so relaxed the day of the wedding. I am not the biggest fan of having my photo taken and she was able to make me feel so comfortable. It is such an intimate day, and the photographer is there for everything, so having to work with someone you are comfortable with is so key! As for the pictures afterwards, they are amazing. And during the whole process she was so great about emailing me back right away, which is such a help when you are emailing so many vendors. I would absolutely recommend Kate Leigh Photography! You will not be disappointed!!

Kate is an amazing photographer and such a sweet person! We met and chatted before the wedding and she really took in what I was looking for. She was never in the way on the wedding day and was able to envision photo ideas on the spot that I would have never thought of. I also felt very comfortable in front of the camera with her. All of my family members and bridal party commented on how great she was to work with and how quickly we were able to get through formal photos. While she is more pricey than other photographers I was looking at, it was truly worth the money in the end. I will cherish the photos forever. It is going to be very hard to pick out which ones I want in my album!

Kate Leigh is an outstanding photographer and really, you should hire her. 2 years after getting married, I know selecting Kate was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning. Kate's photos are stunning. A photographer with an impressive eye for detail, Kate has a unique ability to capture the feel of an event. Equally impressive are Kate's professionalism and flexibility. Due to the demands of our jobs, my husband and I were not easy to reach and had to shift things around as we planned our wedding. Kate easily went with the flow, accommodating our needs.
One thing that was very important to me was to select a photographer who would have a nice presence on the day of our wedding and Kate was a joy to be around.
Quite simply, she provided an outstanding service in every way. I am so grateful to her for capturing how special our wedding was and for also how special she made our memories with her beautiful work.

Kate was absolutely fantastic to work with. She shot both our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been more easy going or professional. We had only spoken through email prior to our engagement shoot, but from the minute she showed up she helped my now husband and I take beautiful natural(!) photos that could not have been more perfect or indicative of us as a couple. Our guests were amazed that they never even noticed her during the ceremony or reception, but we have plenty of wonderful photos that prove otherwise! She even managed to take the unplanned rain in stride and had us ready to take indoor photos in under 10 minutes.
We really enjoyed working with Kate and have already spoken with her about doing future shots down the road. If you want fabulous wedding photos, Kate is definitely the way to go.

We LOVED Kate. She is such a warm, professional and personable photographer. She was a pleasure to work with from our engagement photos, to the wedding and afterwards creating our Album. We thought she offers great value in her packages and offers a beautiful product in her amazing photographs. She is super flexible and even when hot weather kind of derailed our original family portrait plan prior to the ceremony, she still got all the photos we wanted throughout the evening. She is a great photographer and we can't say enough great things about her!

Choosing Kate as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. Her photography is beautiful and her style is classic yet contemporary and young yet mature. I felt that it was very important to choose vendors that have a high personal interest in their craft and love what they do since a wedding is such a personal event. After my experience with Kate I can testify that she delivers exceptional photography with very personal attention. I was planning my NJ wedding from California and I was impressed with Kate's flexibility in finding times and locations that were convenient for our first meeting and for our engagement session. Kate made us feel so comfortable and relaxed that we all had fun during our engagement session and the pictures are so great because they reflect that. She did a great job of shooting our wedding day and captured a great variety and balance of group and candid photos. Our photos were delivered to us so quickly that we were able to view them on our honeymoon. On top of everything Kate has a beautiful personality and it was a pleasure to have had her photograph a very important time in our lives :)

My fiance and I could not have been more pleased with Kate Leigh Photography. When our proofs were returned (in less than two weeks after our wedding!), I was absolutely blown away, practically moved to tears. I didn't even know it was possible for a photographer to capture the raw emotion of a wedding day, but Kate was able to do it. As I have looked through my pictures countless times, I constantly relive the emotions of that day. Kate takes the type of photographs that will become family heirlooms and passed from generation to generation.
Not only are Kate's photographs wonderful, but she is a lovely person. Extremely organized and responsive, easy to deal with during the planning process...Kate was a LOW STRESS vendor - important when you are planning an event for 200+ people! Of all of the wonderful things that I could say about Kate, it is also important to note that she kept a very low profile on our wedding day. Half of the shots I can't even imagine how she got them, because I can't remember her even being there! Book Kate Leigh Photography, it will be one wedding decision that you never regret!

Photography was our highest priority for our wedding. Since we were spending a lot of money on one day, we wanted great photos to remember everything. We were beyond thrilled with the results. We’ve received many comments from our friends and family that our pictures look like advertisements in magazines, and some of them have asked if we would submit them for contests. We wanted classy, unique but elegant pictures, and that’s exactly what we got. The style is mature and intimate, and they really tell our story well. Kate was great to work with, too. She really took the time to listen to what we were looking for in our photography and made helpful suggestions. She also understood our budget limitations and worked with us to create a package that covered everything we wanted but didn’t break the bank. She was very flexible. We had an engagement session with her, which was a lot of fun, and not awkward at all. She was creative, taking us to various scenic locations and asking us to just have fun together and be us, and the pictures were fantastic. For the wedding, we had two shooters, Kate and a partner, who was also outstanding. No one even realized they were there because they blended into the background so well, but they still got all the major shots and some great unexpected ones. It’s amazing all the things they captured that we didn’t notice because we were so busy and the day went by so fast. Kate posted all of our pictures online about a week after the wedding. It was so difficult to decide on pictures for our album because they were all so good, but once we did, it didn’t take long at all for her to design and produce the album which is absolutely gorgeous. Kate has exceptional talent for photography and album design, and her extraordinary attention to detail, professionalism, and caring nature set her well above others in the field. I have recommended her already, and will continue to do so. I was very confident leaving our wedding photography in her hands, and she has truly made our memories extra special.
