Kate Preftakes Photography

e knew we wanted a great photographer for our wedding day and we are so happy we got to work with Kate! Also, Kate was so kind and shortly after our wedding sent us a a handful of sneak peaks which were stunning. We are SO excited to see the rest!!

saw the highlight photos I burst into tears. Kate beautifully captured all my favorite memories and moments I had already forgotten in a way that brought me right back to the day. I am still having the hardest time selecting photos for an album because there are so many stunning options to choose from. Kate is truly gifted and wonderful to work with. I am so thankful a friend recommended Kate after an excellent experience for her wedding and I would 100% recommend her to all of you.

d our expectations. From the very first conversation, Kate so kind, knowledgable and easy to talk to and just made the entire process easy and fun. Kate fits seamlessly into any situation and manages to balance getting beautiful portraits and casual candids so well. I knew we were going to love our wedding photos but when we actually got the full gallery back, we were blown away. Every single photo was BEAUTIFUL. We are still going through photos and trying to decide which ones to print, frame, and send out because there are just too many to choose from. We could not be more grateful for Kate & her mother for capturing our special day so beautifully and putting together the most beautiful gallery for us to cherish forever. Seriously, Kate is so talented I would recommend her to anyone & everyone!!

she got us - she understood the style and feel we were going for and she captured it all beautifully. Nothing felt too contrived, we were natural and comfortable throughout the entire day - getting ready, portraits, during the ceremony and reception. I found Kate's packages fair and reasonable - despite only working a few weekends a year, she was willing to work with us to truly customize our package o ensure sufficient coverage. She was also kind enough to share a preview a week or so after the wedding and we received all photos in about a month. If you're looking for a talented, thoughtful and creative photographer, definitely reach out to Kate!

tail photos, portraits and candid shots! They captured the day perfectly! Not to mention they are both so sweet! I highly recommend Kate for any of your photography needs! You can tell she truly has a passion for her work and is dedicated to producing the best quality photographs. Thank you Kate!

ul. She has a way of capturing all the smiles and the true magic between my husband and I. Our wedding day, her and her mother Nadine were not only on task, but SO sweet and truly happy for me and Nate. Seeing them beaming helped Nate and I feel good in front of the camera. Kate, Nadine, and Sorrell Downing put SO much effort into making our day unique and beautiful. If I could I would rate her 1,000/10. A+++. I’ll use her for every life event from here on out.

e is very sought after and busy and it’s easy to see why but you would never know it by her service and attention to her clients. Not to mention we just received our photos back and they are GORGEOUS. We did our engagement and wedding photos with Kate and she understood our vision immediately and took it and ran with it. We didn’t do a first look and so we wanted to move quickly through our photos during cocktail hour and she was incredibly efficient while still making sure we got all of the beautiful shots throughout our venue of which there were so many. Kate makes you feel comfortable right off the bat and even got my husband to enjoy taking a bunch of photos in a row J. We also had the pleasure of working with Kate’s mother on our wedding day who was equally as wonderful to work with and made it even more special. Kate’s warmth and care for her clients radiates immediately when you meet her and I can confidently say she was one of the best and most reliable choices we made throughout our wedding planning!

out the timing and the shot list, and things to keep in mind with our big families. It was so nice to feel like Kate really knew what she was doing to help us prepare a smooth photographic process. Our actual wedding day was a little insane with weather but Kate was cool, calm, and collected. Instead of getting frustrated, she used the weather and the scenery to get some incredible shots. Her attention to detail and her eye for beauty are amazing and I’m SO glad we booked Kate and her team for our special day! Would book her again if I have other events in the area in the future for sure. Thank you, Kate!

tures have come out and are very satisfied with the job that they did. We got debuted on Kate's blog a few weeks after our wedding, and got sent the link to an online slideshow and pictures from our wedding day in just a little over a month. The turnaround was fantastic. We will be receiving the rights to our pictures in a few more months, which will be an exciting time to relive our beautiful day - and memories that we will now have forever!

ed in soft, natural photographs she is the way to go and the absolute best! At the end of the day all you have left are your memories and the photographs, I am so happy we invested with her for ours, she is truly the best!

ikes to explore every possible option and after looking at countless photographers' work, agreed that Kate was the best choice for us. Kate and her second shooter arrived early on the day of the wedding and ready to go, which was awesome because she was able to get so many beautiful "getting ready" shots. They were both so nice and fun to work with and really put me at ease. You could tell that they both really love what they do as they put so much care into their work and truly seem excited about it. The day after we returned from our honeymoon, we received an email from Kate with a link to her blog post featuring our wedding and a special slide show she put together for us, which my mom and I have not stopped watching since. Kate captured so many beautiful moments, not only between my husband and I, but also of our friends and family and all of the little details we had spent many months preparing. She was even able to get great photos of our 2 dogs who were part of our day and our 2-year old nephew who was our ringbearer...all of which are always on the move! She also has a wonderful way of putting the photos together to tell a story. We are so in love with every single one of our photos and thankful for Kate's wonderful work!

gloves I might add) to get all the shots we wanted. I do not have enough good things to say about this team!

ed as I could have been on my wedding day!) Kate took a perfect mix of photojournalistic style shots with more traditional ones, and she captured so many of the small moments and details that I would have missed on my hectic day. I'm having so much trouble picking my favorite shots for my albums! I would recommend Kate Preftakes to anyone in a heartbeat.

that I can't wait for her to shoot the other great moments in our lives!
