Before deciding on a wedding photographer, I sought advice from an acquaintance, whom specialized in family photos. She had given me a few different wedding photographers she thought were talented. I knew that she would lead me to a quality and... experienced photographer, she didn’t disappoint!
The moment I saw Kate Senger’s photos, I knew she was the one for Ryan and I! I loved Kate's style and the way she captured the couple’s story. It was romantic yet raw at the same time. When I reached out to Kate to ask her some questions, she was extremely responsive.
Our dog Grady, is without a doubt, our fur baby and it was extremely important for him to be included in our engagement and wedding photos. Kate handled it like a champ!
After signing our contract with Kate, she started asking us where we would like to take our engagement photos and we gathered a list of places. Kate did her research to check out each place we had in mind and let us know one of the places had a certain date we needed to be there by. This was truly above the call of her duties. When it was finally time for us to take our engagement photos, Kate was great with making things feel very natural and was able to capture some amazing overcast lighting. Ryan and I were completely blown away with the details of the pictures and the beauty of her work.
Even though Ryan and I were engaged for over a year, Kate was always sending emails to check in, which included a google sheet for family photos we wanted as well as any other particular photos we desired to have taken the day of our wedding. I loved the organization of this!
The day of our wedding, Kate was at the church promptly waiting for myself and the bridesmaids. She grabbed my jewelry and my dress to get some quick snapshots before things got started. Ryan and I had decided that we weren’t going to do a “first look” until I was coming down the aisle and Kate respected that. The photos where Ryan finally saw me walking down the aisle, the raw emotion on his face Kate was able to convey, was absolutely breathtaking.
I just love Kate’s style where she wants everyone to be natural and is able to capture your true self. I honestly forgot she was there because she blended into the background of things that day. That is exactly what an experienced photographer does flawlessly.
Once it came time for the family photos and the bridal photos, Kate was able to direct people and made sure everyone knew who was next so they could be ready.
We knocked out the photos fairly quick and were able to move onto our outside photos with our bridal party. The entire time we were all just having fun and having light-hearted conversations. Afterwards we were able to get some fun photos with us at a bar having a celebratory shot before the reception.
After we had dinner, Kate snuck Ryan and I outside to get some more photos of just the two of us. I’m so glad she did because these photos summed up our magical day. We were both floating on cloud nine. Kate kept saying that we were naturals, but she made it so easy to be and we knew our love would be portrayed in the photos.
Kate captured so much during our day and we are eternally grateful to have had her as our photographer. I am so confident in her abilities and I know you won’t regret it! The only problem you will have is figuring out which photos to get printed because there are so many amazing ones! If you know you want a quality photographer, Kate is your girl
