Kate Panza Photography

. We had a short sessions (30 minutes), and we were shocked at how many beautiful pictures she took in the short time. She will be shooting our wedding in November, and I can only imagine how wonderful they will turn out!

), but she is also the sweetest most genuine woman ever. Having a photographer you adore and who you feel comfortable with is so important!! Trust me—they are next to you in some of those most intimate moments and you want to be able to relax and be present. Kate was with us through the two years it took us to finally have our wedding due to postponing—from engagement photos to a backyard ceremony to our big wedding! She went above and beyond for us during the season of waiting and truly became a dear friend to Matt and I. All my girls raved about her energy—she was our “hype girl” throughout the whole wedding day! She’s a light and someone you want by your side on your special day!! We booked her before we even booked our venue—that’s how good she is. Run don’t walk! Everyone needs a Kate Panza in their life <3

nt occasion! But when the day arrived, I began to understand that there is so much more than just “taking pictures” of the bride, groom and the wedding itself. First and foremost, Kate Panza is an artist. She is incredibly talented and managed to catch the spirit of each moment, the heart of each individual photographed, as time seemed to race by on the wedding day. Her artist’s eye picked up the details, lighting and nuances that we might have missed. It’s been such fun to go back and see those images now that the wedding is a sweet memory. What I also learned is that Kate is incredibly organized and has the unique ability to stay on task, calm and focused when thousands of other details are unfolding. The schedule that she crafted with our wonderful wedding coordinator, Jessica Hernandez (Lovebird Lane Events), was both intentional and flexible. She made sure that our wishes were followed and we had time for all of the family photos as well. But probably the thing I will remember the most about Kate is her kindness. She is truly present, entering into the holiness of the moment as the wedding took place. Her work is her calling and it shows in the beautiful images that we will treasure for a lifetime. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Kate Panza Photography!

- seriously, my jaw DROPPED when I got the gallery back! As a venue, it is such a pleasure to work with vendors who take pride in their work and take care of our couples so well, and Kate does that and so much more! I would recommend Kate again and again!
