Kate Touzel Photography

ut what you can’t tell is how easy she makes it for everyone around her. She is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and made us laugh all day long. Even my husband, who claims to have a “Chandler Bing picture-taking complex”, had no problem in front of her camera and relaxed enough to take amazing photos we can treasure forever. From the planning process, to the day of, to the speed with which we received our photos, she was someone we could count on. We we were so impressed all along the way. We got so many compliments on our photos and how hilarious and friendly Kate was. She was worth every penny and I couldn’t recommend her more. Hire her if you have the chance!

ay went so so smoothly. For example, there was a slight problem with my bouquet and without hesitation she called the florist to sort it out so me and my family did not have to worry about it. She also went above and beyond by making a complete timeline for our wedding day and keeping everyone on track. The energy that she brings to the day is contagious and she becomes friends with everyone! She was also so responsive to all email and phone contacts, always happy to answer any questions that I had. On our big day she made sure we got any pictures that we wanted and knew better than we did what we would want when all was said and done. We also got our photos back so much faster than many of my friends who got married around the same time. Hiring her was one of the best decisions that we made during wedding planning and I completely recommend her! She has shot my senior pictures, engagement pictures, and now our wedding and I do not foresee myself ever choosing anyone else for future opportunities. Kate ROCKS!

for so many reasons but here are a few of my favorite things. First, she fit in with us so well! So well in fact, that I was tempted to grab her and extra bridesmaid dress and ask her to stand up with me. She felt like one of the girls and kept us laughing all day. She was fun to be around and kept everything upbeat! Kate was also like hiring a day-of coordinator. She had our timeline memorized and knew exactly when and where we needed to be at our different locations. As a Bride, it was so nice just going about my day, not worried about what time it was at all because I knew that Kate had it under control. Not only that but she served as our own personal uber service, getting us to our different venues. Have I mentioned she was great? My husband comes from a large family and that means lots of little kids running around (15 to be exact) Kate didn't bat an eye at this. She was so great with all the kids and was able to get so many great shots with everyone looking. I was 1,000% impressed at how smoothly and quickly family pictures went. When people come up to me and talk about our wedding day, almost always Kate is brought up. Even our guests were aware of how amazing she was. Half of my bridal party has already vowed to use Kate as their photographer when their big day comes. I could go on and on but the point is that Kate is incredible! She is totally worth it. Hire her, you'll thank yourself later.

ings, over filter your photos, and make them look the same as everyone else- but Kate is the exact opposite. You can tell how much effort, care, and love goes into each picture she takes and edits. Pictures on your wedding day are THE most important, and there is no one I would trust more than Kate. She’s organized, professional, and by the end of the night she’s everyone’s best friend. I had friends and family come up to me all night telling me “wow- she knows what she’s doing”- and she does. Before the day of, the forecast was rain and Kate already had a back up plan for pictures (my venue was outside) and assured me that no matter what the pictures would be great. It didn’t end up raining but it took a lot of stress off my plate knowing she had a plan. The pictures somehow exceeded my already high expectations and I could not be happier. I could keep going on but the point is- there is no one better than Kate. :)

s of fun candid photos of family and friends that perfectly capture the joy and love throughout the day. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, but she's like having a bonus bridesmaid. Whether, whipping out a tide pen to get a stain off my dress, re-pinning my bustle, or making sure I was stress-free, she did everything she could to make sure it was the best day of our lives. I really can't recommend her enough!

ke I am reliving the best day of my life all over again. Kate captured every moment perfectly and flawlessly. She understood my husband and I and we come to life in her photos, in a real way. You can feel our happiness by looking at her photos. Not only is she an amazing photographer she also wore the hat of a wedding planner and a friend. She was there for it all. She kept me calm and happy and I can’t even begin to thank her for what she did for us. You cannot go wrong with Kate. She will make your day last a lifetime with her amazing work.

e taken, but Kate made all of us feel so comfortable and captured such candid moments. We got our pictures back promptly and are so in love with each and every photo. They are stunning, and are a perfect reflection of the joy we felt. We would HIGHLY recommend Kate to anyone!

portant all day long. Working with her and Amanda made our wedding photos so fun and with a husband who doesn't love taking pictures he even enjoyed it. Would HIGHLY recommend! Worth every penny and so much more!

th her the entire time! She was quick to respond to anything we needed, and was very professional. She has shot hundreds of weddings and doesn't waste any time during the big day--she knows what looks good and what doesn't. We met with her several times before the wedding including at the venue so she could scope out which places would be best for photos. She also had amazing recommendations for other vendors since she has worked with so many! She delivered the pictures to us via USB and sent a link for a personal website for viewing online. They all look amazing!! If you are thinking about hiring Kate to shoot your wedding, DO IT! I promise you won't regret it!! ...and you'll be sure to laugh a lot--she is hilarious! :)

amily. She was great at taking charge with big groups (even lots of unhappy little kids!), as well as just following us around to capture sweet candid moments. She added so much joy and fun to our day, and gave us the most gorgeous pictures to treasure forever. SO glad she was our photographer!

d laughing a lot, while simultaneously kicking some butt (in the nicest way possible) and taking charge if someone needs to get into, or out of, a shot. She was 100% on top of it and will go all the way to make sure your special day is recorded.

calls for a plan b - luckily it ended up being beautiful but she was so prepared. The morning of she helped fixed bridesmaids hair and made sure everything else was running smoothly. She is so friendly and so fun that you feel like you've been friends with her forever! During our reception we had some issues with the DJ and she totally took charge and helped him find some fun music to get everyone out on the dance floor. I seriously cannot say enough good about Kate!! As it got closer to our wedding she even helped me put together a schedule of the day which took so much stress of myself. If she's available for your wedding don't second guess it... BOOK HER! All our engagement & wedding photos are amazing and everyone absolutely loved her!

assistant. Our pictures are absolutely stunning. She captured both traditional poses and candid photos beautifully. She even sent us some edited preview pictures within a week! We are so happy we went with Kate Touzel as our photographer

, or went over budgeting. I have had friends who used Kate for their weddings so I KNEW she was who I wanted to capture our day. We picked our date around which weekends she had available. I loved all my friends weddings and was pleasantly surprised at how she was able to make my wedding look special, unique and so perfect for us. I feel like some photographers only have a very specific style but Kate was able to get a range of fun, natural, authentic photos that totally capture our personalities without giving the same photos my friends had. This is truly a gift, she has a great eye and an awesome personality. We would use Kate again and again. I don't know how I would have gotten through my day without her help (she kept my crew in line and one time in a fun but efficient way, she bustled my dress like a PRO, she was everything I needed/wanted her to be and so so so much more. She is the complete package and I wouldn't get married without her. Simply the best ever and worth the cost.

er in the area. Not only did she take pictures she also helped the flow of the day go smoothly, bustled my dress, got red wine out of my dress, fixed my hair, made sure my makeup looked good throughout the day, the list goes on and on. I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR ANYONE BETTER. I have already gotten so many compliments on my pictures. Also, side note : everyone in our wedding party commented on how fun and organized Kate was :) I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. If you're looking for the full package, you've found your girl :) Kate is worth every penny!!!

every penny. After we initially contacted her she asked us a little about ourselves and expressed that she was a photographer for fun couples, and that’s truly what she was. Every second we spend shooting with Kate was fun. She acted as SO much more than just a photographer. Kate was a mistress of ceremony, a best friend, and an event coordinator, on top of being the best photographer. There simply aren’t enough words or high enough ratings. I would recommend her to anyone.

hand it to Katie.. from start to finish she was an absolute JOY to work with. She was so accommodating for our engagement pictures, and beyond helpful on the wedding day. It's hard to put in words how much bang for your buck you are getting with Kate Touzel Photography. She sent us a HUGE preview only a few short days after our wedding, and every picture was pure magic. I will recommend Katie over and over again!

fully. I have been following Kate for about 10 years and I knew when I met my husband that I wanted her to do our photos. She was amazing to work with! We met up a lot throughout the year as I paid her and she was so bubbly and kind. I absolutely loved her passion for capturing our special day. We received MANY compliments on how well she ran our day and how great our photos turned out. I was the last to get married in my family and my siblings photos are nothing special so my family was SUPER happy with them. They are one of a kind shots and naturally so beautiful! I highly recommend her. She was worth every penny. You won't be disappointed!!!!!! I also should comment how important it is to have a photographer know what they are doing. Direction, posing, vocal etc. She would be firm with group photos so everyone was paying attention. She always made my husband and I feel natural in photos, not posed odd! I am OCD so I hate seeing photos where one guy has his hands out of pocket and everyone else does. Or the bridesmaid is holding flowers lower than others. She pays attention to those small details and that meant so much to my OCD self :) He second shooter of the day Amanda was great as well. She followed the groomsmen and my husband was very pleased with how helpful she was as well. BOOK HER! Truly amazing!

atie's enthusiasm for photography and weddings is not only genuine, but contagious. She has a natural ability to bond with couples and a creatively level that captures moments you can only dream of. The day of your wedding, Katie is more than a girl behind a camera. She is helping you fix your hair, reminding you stay hydrated, handing you adorable umbrellas to make the rain seem less daunting during photos, corralling the wedding party and so much more. When you receive the link to your photos, set aside at least a half a day to look through them all over and over again. I still have not printed a photo album because it's too difficult to limit the number of favorites I want to print! Hire Katie, you'll never regret it. And remember: no fake smiles :)

, which made taking pictures so much fun! She is so creative and I'm amazed how she captures the personalities and style of her bride and groom and how different her pictures are from wedding to wedding. If you are getting married, I would recommend her to anyone!! xoxo

njoyable for the both of us. On our wedding day, she was with us for the full day and helped in every little way that she could! She was so much fun to have around and is truly one of the nicest people I have met. And the wedding pictures I received back from her were even better than what i expected! I recommend her to all of my friends and they love her too!

humor that we were genuinely laughing most of the day working with her. I highly recommend Kate Touzel Photography!

only does she capture the dreamiest shots, she also was AMAZING at getting everyone together. I have a huge family, and a large bridal party, and she was incredible about getting everyone in and out and keeping people laughing for the most natural, and beautiful pictures of everyone! I cannot believe how hard she worked all day and how quickly!! She is the perfect personality for her job and made my day so much more fun, and relaxed! She knew what to do and how to get it done and I did not have to worry a minute. She comes with my HIGHEST recommendation!

d completely trusted in her skill. She went above and beyond our expectations...we will forever be thankful for her providing beautiful, unique, everlasting memories of our wedding day. Thank you, Kate!

She is able to get the attention of the whole wedding party when needed, which isn't an easy task. The pictures always turn out beautifully. We have the problem of narrowing down favorites because there are so many that you want to print off! She is also super creative and uses new styles and techniques. We go to Kate for all of our photography needs. I would recommend her to anyone!

ns wedding next October. I really wanted someone that takes control of the day and makes everyone feel calm and Kate did just that :)

idal party into different poses and relieved any stress/doubts I felt prior to the wedding. My only complaint is that she, at times, is terrible at returning phone calls/emails.
