Kate Noelle Photography

needed while still keeping our wedding night on schedule and being able to fully enjoy our night. Not to mention the photos came out better than we could have ever imagined! Kate & team’s creativity and direction delivered us timeless photos which will surely be on display in our home for decades to come.

manner, with true professionalism? Kate is the best choice! I mean it… So….I always thought getting pictures professionally taken was pretty stressful ( yup, that’s me with the fake smile and the awkward hand thing in most casual photos- throw in some posed photos and my thoughts range from: where should I look, what do I do with my arm, is there too much teeth, how do you smize? Wait, what is smizing…) And throw that together with planning a beach wedding in January with questionable weather (please don’t rain, please don’t rain!) And then combine that with trying to get the right look and feel - nice but beachy but special while encompassing “us”? And getting everything right - sunset, low tide, friends, family, dog and getting married! It’s a lot! But she did it. You’re probably talking to a few different folks and trying to figure out how to describe what you want but not really knowing how to express yourself? She gets it. I mean it. She’s been doing this a while and if you look at her photos - you get it. She knows what you want your pictures to say. She makes things really easy. She knows what’s beautiful. She knows what you need to remember - and she walks you through the whole thing. Even before she takes the photos. We talked on the phone. And that was it! She knew what I wanted. There was so many things to plan! And even though I wanted simple and casual I really wanted special… and I was lucky I found Kate. She had taken some photos of my friend - some were playfully sophisticated (if you need any business or LinkedIn photos, she would be awesome!) and she had taken some family photos and that segued into wedding photos. And they were awesome. They were casually inviting. Honest. Open. Great light. You could tell that everyone in the photos felt comfortable. And I can attest to that. If you’re even on the fence - do it. Talk to her. She’ll make you feel comfortable. She’ll tell you how it can look. And she’ll make it happen.

tion she had never been to before, but she really listened to our desires as a couple so we would have photos that felt authentic to us. I know she dedicated so much time in preparation for our wedding so she could capture our perfect day. I feel like every photographer's goal is to take beautiful photos, but Kate goes above and beyond. She stood out in the freezing (and very unexpected) rain and snow and hiked through mud to get the perfect shot while we stayed dry under the eaves. She adapted to the changing weather, wedding timeline, and family dynamics. Kate's #1 priority is her wedding couple. She has an innate ability to read people and will do whatever it takes so you have your perfect day. Have an overbearing family member that is stressing you out on your wedding day? Kate has no problem being the person to help you have some space. She is the person that reminds you to drink water and will steal you away so you have 5 minutes to eat some appetizers. She captured the candid moments and gave us private time to soak it all in without being intrusive. She made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera and her pictures reflect that. When I hired Kate, I knew I could trust her to produce beautiful photos we will cherish for our lifetime. What I didn't know is that I would walk away from our day with so much joy and gratitude that she was there because she made our day better.

ly nothing to ensure you get the dreamiest pictures. She truly has a way of not only capturing everyone at their best moments but honing in on special photo worthy moments, the big and the small. I’ve been in the bridal party at weddings at the coast, in the mountains, and regardless of where we are she goes above and beyond to scope out the best shooting locations. She also is so quick on the fly, adapting to whatever conditions may arise. It started SNOWING at my best friend’s outdoor wedding in JUNE and without breaking a sweat she switched up shots and locations and moved the process along so quickly to get family and the bridal party done so that they could be out of the cold. If I could sing Kate’s praises more, I would! I’m just so delighted to have so many special moments captured by her lens.
