About this vendor
I am a wedding photographer based in southern Maine and serving all of New England and beyond. I love creating a connection with my couples, and getting to know them as friends rather than clients. My style is a bit moody, colorful, and sun-soaked. I focus on the little moments, meaningful details, and romantic and emotional imagery. My couples are free-spirited, adventurous, and full of laughter. They’re not afraid of dirt, and will be on the dancefloor until the sun comes up.

Wow, it is hard to even put into words how incredibly talented and wonderful Katelyn is! I met Katelyn for the first time back in 2019 when she photographed my brother's wedding at Brick South in Portland, ME. The photos from their wedding were unreal-and I remembered Katelyn for her fun, laid back vibe and her attention to detail in the shots.
Fast forward 5 years and it was my turn to get married! I knew right away that there was no one else but Katelyn that I wanted for my wedding photographer. Thank goodness she was free the day of our wedding!! It has only been a week since our wedding so we have only gotten the sneak peek photos back at this point but oh my goodness, are they stunning! Katelyn has such an keen eye for setting up a shot and capturing the emotion of a place and of her subjects. Each photo is a work of art. And I say this as someone who usually hates photos of myself!!
Katelyn has a deep love of nature and natural beauty which is something I also share. I am so grateful to her for capturing the natural beauty of the venue as well as the special moments with my husband and our loved ones.
Katelyn has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, she makes being photographed fun!! I just love everything about her-her style, her energy, her whole vibe. You can't go wrong with Katelyn!!
I cannot say enough about Katelyn's talent, professionalism and kindness. We are so happy with the memories and details captured on our wedding day!
After doing lots of research and interviewing a short list of photographers, I chose Katelyn because of her style, consistency and personality. I wanted a richer look than the typical bright white wedding photos. The albums Katelyn shared showed her ability to consistently create beautiful photos whether it is of people posing, candids, scenery or details. She took the time to get to know us and what we care about the most to help inform the timeline and shot list. What was the most unusual and a testament to her professionalism and personality is that many of our family members commented on how great Katelyn was before they even saw the photos! I would hire her again and again!
Katelyn and her work is beyond expectations. From the beginning she was easy to work with. We had our engagement shoot scheduled on a stormy weekend and she was more than willing to work around the weather conditions to get us out earlier in the day and make the shoot happen. Our wedding was similar! We had rain in the forecast most of the day and we were able to somehow get outside and get SO MANY good photos!! She is willing to roll with whatever comes her way and that meant a lot to us. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Katelyn. She is a wonderful, eager photographer!
Working with Katelyn was easily the best and least stressful part of our wedding planning process. Her photography is STUNNING and speaks to her talent. She captured our day exactly as we envisioned - genuine, warm, and true to us. She invested time to connect with us early and understand our priorities for the day, and tailored our package to stay true to that. She answered all questions with an attention to detail that helped us let go and trust her expertise. She didn't judge us at all when we directed her to a place that ended up being closed for drinks before our engagement shoot (so embarrassing), but instead laughed it off and pivoted quickly to make it work. They are some of our favorite photos of us and a wonderful memory. And though she was always flexible with us, she was also firm and confidently navigated wrangling guests to keep to our timeline. She captured everything efficiently and beautifully in a way that allowed us to have fun and be present with one another. She is a beacon of light and kindness, and simply a wonderful human all around - supporting others in her community and advocating for the planet. We are forever grateful!
Katelyn is amazing and her work is BEAUTIFUL! Would give her 6 stars if we could. Katelyn came down to Boston in May for an engagement shoot in the Public Gardens. Her approach was very casual / natural and put us right at ease, which led to some really beautiful and genuine moments. The engagement shots turned out AMAZING, so we went into the wedding with complete confidence she had everything under control. Our wedding was out on Thompson Island in Boston Harbor in late September, and Katelyn took so many great photos that we had a hard time narrowing them down to fit in an album! Katelyn has a great eye for composition, but just as important is her ability to capture candid emotions that make her photos come to life. Cannot recommend Katelyn more highly!
We really can't say enough good things about Katelyn. She was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I found her photos on Instagram and they instantly stood out because they were unique, beautiful and seemed to really fit the individual personalities of the couples she was photographing - and she totally delivered the same for us! If you're looking for photos that are unique, special and memorable, look no further. We got so many compliments after the wedding about how gorgeous and sweet the photos looked.
Katelyn was also so professional, patient and kind throughout the whole process. She really took the time to get to know us and our vision before the wedding, and accommodated all our annoying questions and weird requests :) As the bride, I didn't realize just how intimate the time I was spending with the photographer would be, and I'm so glad it was with Katelyn! She has an easygoing demeanor and "go with the flow" attitude that helped put me at ease on a very nerve-racking day.
We would 100% recommend Katelyn to anyone getting married in the New England area!
Katelyn was one of the first photographers I worked with when I first started in the wedding industry. She was kind, had a great attention for detail (which all floral designers want when they work with photographers) and produced such lovely photos for my clients and myself. I have had countless friends use her in the past and have been so happy with her work. She knows what she is doing, she is extremely involved in the wedding community/industry, she educates, she helps other vendors out and best of all, she's extremely responsive. You will love her! XO
Katelyn was amazing! She is such a kind and caring person, who has natural talent for capturing the perfect shots which display love and laughter. We hired her for our wedding and she did our engagement photos as well. Our original engagement photos were rained out and she was so accommodating with our rescheduling and braved a very cold & windy fall day to make our engagement photo dreams come true!
As for our wedding, She was so easy to work with - sending a care package with cute coasters and a notebook, checking in to make sure everything was good to go leading up to the day, SO helpful on the day of, and willing to capture any and all photos
We have had so many compliments on our photos we have received thus far and cannot wait to see the rest! Highly recommend Katelyn for your photography needs!
I don't even know where to begin because I have so many AMAZING things to say about Katelyn. She is such a fun and easy going person that has made our engagement and wedding pictures something we will cherish forever. Katelyn captured our wedding day so perfectly and beautifully - better than I could have ever imagined. She made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is so professional and amazing to work with. We have got nothing but endless compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. I will continue to use her for our future milestones!
Katelyn was amazing!!! Our wedding was crazy (240 people, 14 in the wedding party, 4 grandparents, 4 children, and an insane amount of family members), but Katelyn was incredible, and seamlessly helped us throughout the day with making sure everything was on time and we were getting all the pictures we needed to. She also is just a great person, super easy to talk to, and I was able to reach her very easily with any questions or concerns I had. The pictures she took were so wonderful, and I know we will cherish them forever. Thanks, Katelyn for putting our favorite day into memories!
Katelyn is a GEM. In addition to being incredibly talented, she is professional and super communicative, which is such a relief amidst the chaos of wedding planning. We had our engagement session last month, and I was a bit nervous going into it, but Katelyn put me at ease immediately - she was laughing the entire time with us, while also giving us guidance so that we didn't feel awkward. Her excitement and love for wedding photography is very evident and very infectious. We recently got our engagement photos back (such a quick turnaround!) and we literally cannot wait until the wedding!
What can we say about Katelyn..... we first connected with her last year - she was one of the first vendors we booked. As a person she is one of the sweetest, kindest, most down to earth, and - above all - TALENTED people we've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was with us from the earliest stages of our planning right to the very end. We got married on July 13 up in Jackson, NH. Katelyn NAILED it with the photography. On Monday morning (July 15) we awoke to a sneak peek of our photos. I am blown away by her prowess behind the camera as well as her editing work. Katelyn showed us what she could do when we booked our engagement shoot with her last September and she has never let us down from that very moment. She is responsive, flexible, easy going, and her photos are breath taking. We booked her for 8 hours of wedding day coverage - to include the "getting ready" photos, first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, family portraits, reception, and the ensuing dance party. We are forever indebted to her for capturing our special day. Her love for her work shines through in the photos. We simply could not recommend her highly enough. Wedding photography is expensive and we devoted 15% of our entire budget to it - so don't let the price drive you away - it is so well worth it - those photos last a lifetime! And that cost covered an amazing engagement photo shoot, which was worth it not only for the final product but for the fact that my now husband and I had zero experience being in front of the camera like that. Katelyn made us feel comfortable and valued every step of the way. Katelyn - you are a treasure! Thank you for everything.
All our love,
Sarah and Paul Higgins
Katelyn is extremely efficient, personable and has such a great eye! When I reached out to multiple photographers for our engagement photos, she was the quickest in her reply and was more than flexible in working with our schedules. She came to our home town to do the shoot, and was so easy to get along with. Less than 24 hours later, she already had a sneak peak from our shoot on Instagram -- it was really rewarding to have at least one photo right away! Katelyn knew we were on a timeline for our photos because we wanted something to put in our Christmas photos, and she totally delivered on that! We received our full engagement photo shoot much earlier than we anticipated. The photo album sharing software that she uses is also so convenient to easily share with friends and family, and was really user friendly in terms of downloading/backing up the high resolution photos! Thanks, Katelyn!
Katelyn is the most WONDERFUL. She was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish in the wedding process. We opted out of an engagement session so to get to know her before the big day, we met at a brewery (her suggestion!) and instantly knew we were in good hands. She was incredibly responsive leading up to the wedding and made things so easy logistically. The day of the wedding she was just such a joy to have around -- jovial and fun-loving while also not missing a shot of any of the good times! We are BEYOND excited to see the final product but from the few shots she has already sent us... we are over the moon and know we made the perfect choice for a wedding photographer. Could not recommend Katelyn more - she's awesome!
Katelyn is such a wonderfully talented photographer. She captured the moments that I never want to forget so perfectly. Her unique style and ability to think creatively puts her a step above all other wedding photographers. I am so grateful to have had Katelyn at my wedding. Every single photo gives me goosebumps and puts a smile on my face!
Katelyn did our engagement shoot and was BEYOND amazing. She kept us moving so we never felt uncomfortable, picked great locations to shoot, and got us what seems like endless gorgeous pictures in under an hour. Pictures came in timely along with sneak peeks she posted on instagram. Everyone I show cannot stop raving about the pictures.
We got married in September, so this review is long overdue, but working with Katelyn was one of the best decisions we made in the planning process of our wedding!! We first stumbled upon Katelyn's website as we looked for a wedding photographer from Maine and looking through her portfolio I was immediately taken with the way she worked with light. Our ceremony was outside, so having someone that could capture outdoor lighting and beauty was an important aspect for us. Katelyn was easy to communicate with, answered questions and sent pictures of other shoots she had done that matched the style of our ceremony and reception so we could get an even more comprehensive look at her work. Having the engagement shoot included was such a wonderful bonus as it gave us an opportunity to become comfortable not only with Katelyn but the feeling of having a photo shoot. It made the day of the wedding so much easier. Our engagement photos were absolutely stunning! The day of our wedding Katelyn moved effortlessly, capturing so many wonderful candid moments that we will treasure forever as well as directing us with kindness and humor when looking to capture specific shots. She had sneak previews for us within a few days of the event and seeing the quality of those made us so anxious to see the rest...and they were better then we could have imagined! We frequently look back through the photos which perfectly capture the day from getting ready through the reception. Forever grateful to have found this gem of a person and photographer!! Thank you Katelyn!
I don’t think we could have had a better photographer for us. Katelyn was an absolute treasure and we can’t thank her enough. Very prompt and easy to communicate with and makes you feel at ease within a minute. She included an engagement session which was great to meet her before he big day. Her photos are amazing. She has a unique style that is both realistic and artistic. She really captured our day wonderfully and taking photos with her on our wedding day was fun, and relaxed. Just her presence made the day better. She got sneak peeks within a day and then all photos within 6 weeks which was great given it was during a busy wedding season. You won’t be disappointed choosing Katelyn. Definitely recommend!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you need to choose Katelyn! She not only takes amazing pictures, but she is also extremely down to earth and one of the friendliest people I have ever met. My husband and I had a horrible experience with our first photographer so when I started looking for a new one I was very hesitant-Katelyn got back to my emails right away and was always so easy to work with. She nailed our engagement photos and I knew we had made the right decision choosing her. We got married in late August and I keep telling people that Katelyn was my voice of reason all day. She made sure we stayed on track with our timeline, found amazing spots to take bridal party pictures and even helped when my mom and sister were having some trouble figuring out how to bustle my dress. It wasn't like we had a photographer with us all day, it was more like having a friend who happened to also be taking pictures of us! She also had sneak peak pictures for us less than 48 hours later and they were amazing! I can't wait to see all the others to come. Choose Katelyn, I promise you, you will not regret it!!
Katelyn has been amazing to work with!! We are obsessed with the pictures from our engagement shoot and our wedding! We can't wait to get the rest of our wedding pictures back!
She makes getting photographed so comfortable and easy... It was so nice to have our engagement shoot with her before our wedding day because it was one less thing to think about on the day of the wedding! She also was SO efficient in taking family pictures and our bridal party was so thankful! Overall, she has been amazing and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Katelyn to everyone in the Southern Maine area!!
We are obsessed with Katelyn! She was SO easy to work with and went above and beyond pre-during-post our wedding weekend. Planning a Maine wedding from NYC was not easy, but she made us so comfortable and delivered on her proposed value. She not only took outstanding photos, but also had our gallery to us extremely quickly too.
We would DEFINITELY recommend working with Katelyn and plan to hire her again for other family events.
Thanks, Katelyn!!
There are no words that are adequate enough to describe how happy my husband and I are with Katelyn's photos. Katelyn took our engagement and wedding photos for our July 2016 wedding. From the moment I contacted her, I knew she was the photographer for us. First and foremost her communication with her clients is top notch. Every email I ever sent her was responded to within a day... and 99% of the time it was within the hour. She is personable, sweet and makes you feel like you have been friends for years. She made my husband feel so at ease in front of a camera (a pretty big accomplishment, as you can imagine)! Her eye for catching the perfect lighting and taking the perfect detail photos is what sets her apart. She completely blended in at my wedding - my guests were so impressed with her ability to float and blend into the crowd. Katelyn caught the best moments of my wedding that I didn't even realize she was watching. Thanks to Katelyn's photos my family and I are able to relive the best day ever. Her work will amaze you and her talent will more than likely bring a tear to your eye. Katelyn Mallett Photography was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We plan to use Katelyn for EVERYTHING we ever need photographed in the future. We tell everyone we know how amazing she is and if we could we would shout it from the rooftops too. BOOK WITH KATELYN!!! There is no way you will regret it. Ever.
