Kate Thompson Weddings

ding photographer, we wanted to balance both beautiful photos in a style we love and someone who we would enjoy being alongside for our whole wedding day. A great photographer can really make or break those special moments on your wedding day. Kate made them all even better. In the weeks and months leading up to our wedding, we had a number of conversations to get to know Kate, her style, and share our hopes for our wedding photographer. She is warm, calming, easy going, and knowledgeable. Kate is a clear communicator and knows exactly what questions to ask you ahead of time to ensure that she delivers what you’re looking for while navigating all of the nuances of family pressures on such a big day. As a documentary style photographer, Kate gracefully balances being a fly on the wall and directing you and your family when necessary. She captures the organic moments of connection and joy that are already happening between you and your loved ones, without disrupting the moment at all. She ensures she’s in the exact right location to get the perfect picture. Kate is both a calming presence throughout the day and disappears into the background, which allows you to be comfortable and yourself in those special moments, which in turn allows Kate to capture your genuine emotions. Looking at our pictures, they feel alive and feel like she captured the real me, as I felt in those moments. It’s such a unique skill to not only take beautiful photos, but also make space for genuine life and emotions to shine. She captures these special moments, all while allowing you to be fully present. As those who have gotten married know and those who will get married will find out - it can be a whirlwind, so this is a really impactful gift. We can’t say enough good things. Kate is a wonderful person, presence, and photographer. I will recommend her to everyone I know documenting life’s milestones in the future. If I were to do it all over again, I’d choose Kate every single time. We are so grateful.

with her! She was recommended to me and once I saw her photos on her website, I knew she was the one. Then I talked to her on the phone and extra knew she was the one. Her demeanor is so easy going, reassuring and knowledgeable. Check out her website and you see her work - they are incredible for not only do they capture the beauty of newlyweds, family, and friends, but she captures all of the feelings from those moments. On my wedding day, she was such a warm presence to have around. Yet also somehow you never knew she was there. She observes the moments and let’s them unfold while capturing their essence. She captured photos of our two excitable pups and made them look calm and collected. Remember how I said how you feel the moments of others weddings? Imagine when you are looking at the photos from your own. When I (quickly) received my photos, I couldn’t believe it. My heart, it felt like I was just back there! She captured moments I didn’t know were unwinding. She captured the raw emotions on all of our faces. My family and friends have told me her photos are the best they have ever seen from a wedding and I feel the exact same way. Thank you Kate for allowing us to relive the most amazing day of our life over and over again and feel just like we did on that day! And everyone else, book Kate ASAP!

ents, and does so...so beautifully. Her artistic eye and style is simply unmatched. Additionally, Kate is just a great person. She is patient, funny, a superb listener, and when the jitters set in....she helps to guide you. Kate shot my engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I (and entire family) could not be happier with her work. She is a true gem.

nd I hate being photographed!) I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
