About this vendor
I've been in business for 7 years, living out my dream job.
Working with people making connections are one of my favorite parts of the job. I truly love what I do and it's a privilege to me to work with couples and their families on their wedding days. I have a passion for the candid moments, but will guide you the whole length of the way in the most natural way possible so that you don't feel uncomfortable, and I promise you'll never have to ask me, 'What do I do with my hands!?' I GOT you!

There are so many great things I can say about Kate, but one word I can easily use is she is absolutely AMAZING!! Before booking and scrolling through her portfolios and posts on Instagram I knew she was the one. When looking, what I noticed most about her photos is that they have so much richness and really bring out so much detail. What I really loved most is the expressiveness of her work and the candid shots. There is nothing better than a good candid. These are my favorite kind of photos because they really bring out the personality and capture the true moment in time. This is how I knew she would be the perfect one to capture our day. When we took our engagement photos she was so fun and made us feel sooo comfortable. Before the wedding day we had a phone call and she ensured that she knew every detail and listened to everything that we wanted without any hesitation. She had an open ear and was willing to do anything to make it perfect. On the wedding day she killed it!! She was there to capture every moment and made the process go so smoothly!! We only got the sneak peeks back so far and we are absolutely obsessed so we know the rest are going to be perfect and can’t wait to see them! Kate was the perfect person to have capture our day. Her natural talent will now allow us to cherish these moments forever! Don’t look anywhere else and book her for your wedding, you will not regret it I promise you!!
Where do I even begin!? Simply put, Kate is AMAZING at what she does! For the past year I have been looking at our engagement pictures every day, and now it is our wedding photos! I am so happy we booked with her for our wedding. She offers great packages with everything you would want and need! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and takes beautiful candid shots! She will do whatever she needs to do to get a perfect shot, even if she has to climb up a 12 ft ladder on a dock of a lake! I love how she edits photos and makes the natural colors shine! She does not just put simple filters on the photos or increases the brightness. Our photos in the fall foliage were everything we wanted and more! Let's just say the Azzara's have found their family photographer! Book with Kate! I promise, you will not regret it !!
Kate is honestly THE BEST choice I made for my wedding! I could write a novel about how amazing she was to work with and how gorgeous & stunning my photos have turned out! I had shopped around A LOT to find the perfect photographer for my budget and style. Not going to lie..I was being very picky about what I wanted. And then, a friend recommended me to Kate and I KNEW she was the one for me. I saw her photos on Instagram and I was sold-they weren’t too bright, too dark, or awkwardly posed. Not only is she the sweetest, friendliest person to work with, but she genuinely cared about my husband & I throughout the whole process. She effortlessly posed us, positioned us in all the right places at my venue, and just guided us with ease to get the most excellent variety of shots of us. Her hard work truly shows in the quality of work she produces! People are raving to me about how beautiful my wedding photos came out so far-and this is just the preview until my whole album comes out! I cannot WAIT to see the rest. I know that I’ll just be in complete awe of each and every photo! If you want this same type of awesome experience we had, you MUST book with Kate asap!! I’m so, so happy I did!
Kate did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and she is the best!! For both events, she helped my husband and I feel so comfortable and did great posing us without making all of the pictures look posed. She is great at capturing the beautiful scenery and light in pictures and gets them to really come to life. Our wedding pictures came out absolutely gorgeous!!!! We can’t thank her enough for capturing our wedding day, the memories, and really showing the beauty of the venue and scenery!!
Kate is absolutely amazing to work with. We hired her for a family shoot as well as for our wedding and she’s outstanding. She was on time, prepared and creative!! We can’t wait to see all of our pictures. Thank you Kate!
Kate was by far our best vendor! I loved her style as you could almost feel the emotions in her photos. As you could imagine, getting married during a pandemic is not ideal. It was a very stressful process for us and Kate was there by our side through it all. She is the most caring and thoughtful person, way more than what we were expecting from just a "wedding vendor"! Kate is incredible at capturing those candid moments. Her vision is simply stunning and we appreciated her creativity to get us to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Based on our experience, I will always recommend Kate and will be using her for future life moments!
We just finished working with Kate for our wedding (this being the third time we have worked with her) and we couldn’t say enough good things. We have now dubbed her the official family photographer. Kate is the best and always captures the perfect shots. She is super easy to work with and a complete expert. I definitely wouldn’t call myself a model but Kate knows exactly how to instruct us while shooting that the wedding pictures looked like we were naturals. What I love most about her is that she is willing to work with us. She was willing to create a custom package and sent a few shots immediately after the wedding so we could order thank you cards. We will definitely be contacting her again!
This review is way overdue! Kate was so easy to work with from our initial first meeting to our engagement shoot to our wedding day and post wedding! She really listened to what I wanted out of my wedding pictures and really brought my vision to life with her raw talent and editing skills. I initially wanted to book Kate after seeing a photo of hers of a couple kissing at the alter in the rain. It was so romantic and really stayed ingrained in my memory. Turns out my favorite wedding day photo was also in the rain. It was a super long day from start to finish and Kate even stayed an extra hour to make she we got all the shots, and she did! The album she put together was so well made and really told a story. It is full of memories that really come to life when you look at these photos. Thank you for all your artistic guidance throughout the day!
Kate was amazing and focused on capturing everything that was important to us. She handled everything like a pro and we couldn't be happier with our choice!
Kate is a wonderful photographer! She is really great about flexibility and communication. We had some last minute changes to our wedding day timeline, and she was very accommodating. Both our engagement and wedding photos are gorgeous! Kate was really good at putting us at ease and helping us look natural in all of our photos. She led us through our photo sessions, but she was not overbearing in any way. If we had to do it over, we would definitely hire Kate again!
Kate is simply AMAZING at what she does! We originally booked Kate for our engagement pictures. After receiving our engagement pictures back from Kate, we knew we had to book her or our wedding also! (Even though our venue came with a photographer) We had a small destination wedding in Key West, and Kate made sure to capture all of the beauty on this day. We knew Kate was passionate about photography, but what made this even more clear was she spent the day before our wedding walking around Key West looking for the most beautiful and unique spots to take pictures. We plan to use Kate for any and all photos we will ever need in the future!
Kate was so easy to work with, accommodating, laid back, and left us with beautiful memories of our wedding day! Throughout the entire wedding planning process she was easy to reach and extremely willing to go the extra mile to help us plan the day we wanted. We absolutely love the album and photo box which she sent promptly after the wedding, and can tell she is very gifted and passionate about her craft.
Kate's photography work is stunning. Having her photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. On the day of the wedding it barely felt like we had a photographer, she worked so seamlessly into the wedding, and yet we got hundreds of beautiful photos from throughout the day. She had endless ideas for poses and also made sure she got all the ones we asked for. She adjusted and rearranged so quickly, but you can see in the photos she has a really good eye for what makes the perfect shot. We are so incredibly happy with her work, I would hire her again in an instant!
Let’s see... Kate has now taken my engagement pictures, wedding pictures, baby announcement pictures, maternity photo shoot, and in a few weeks my Fresh 48 sessions. It’s safe to say I love her work. The first time working with her I KNEW I would love the images because Kate was so purposeful in really considering my wants from photos, but also suggesting many things that I would’ve never thought would look nice. At the engagement shoot, Kate traveled to three different locations, in the cold, and waited for me to have an outfit change. She tried a zillion different poses and really captured our natural selves. During my wedding, Kate met with us at least three times before to discuss all the details. For both my pregnancy announcement and maternity shoot, she was patient, kind and detailed oriented. Hire Kate. I cannot say enough great things about her work. Professional photos that aren’t posed-they show genuine love.
There is no one better. Kate is beyond talented and knows how to make even the most self conscious person feel comfortable in front of a camera. The only drawback to using her is knowing you'll never be able to narrow down which pictures to actually print because you will love them ALL!
Kate is extremely friendly, encouraging and professional. My Husband and I had our engagement photos done with her. Her creativity with using any environment and making them look like they are out of a magazine is phenomenal. She also took all of our opinions to heart and helped us get exactly what we were looking for capturing every moment, feeling, and goofy expression that made us, us, even if we didn’t know it at the time. Absolutely recommend Kate to anyone who wants to see their own personality shine through in their photos.
We have worked with Kate multiple times, she is amazing. She did our engagement shoot as well a casual photos for my husband and I. We also just booked her for my Maternity shoot and fresh 48 photos. Kate makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos capture every emotion, and are so natural- and I LOVE that. I would recommend Kate to anyone. Her work will be hanging on my walls for years to come! She is extremely dedicated to her clients, and her work is beautiful. You will not be disappointed!
Kate will be our wedding photographer next week! She took our engagement photos in the fall and they turned out amazing! Kate is so warm and easy to be around. She made it easy to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera. My fiancé and I laughed the entire time during our photo shoot which made for great pictures. I can’t wait to see how our wedding photos come out!
Kate loves kids and dogs! ***smile*** We always love our family photo shoots with Kate. She comes up with great ideas for awesome pictures and she is always capturing great action shots because you do not even know she is there.
Kate was so friendly and professional. She was happy to include my pup in our wedding photos. She made me and my husband completely comfortable. We are so in love with our wedding photos and I would recommend her 100%.
