Katherine was a great find for our small wedding! We flew in from out of state to get married just outside of Austin so our first time meeting her face to face was the day before the wedding. She was very responsive to email prior so it wasn't a big deal that we weren't able to meet sooner. We received our photos two weeks after the wedding and they were exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend reaching out to Katherine for your special day, she was so easy to work with and delivered a great product.
Katherine and her husband were absolutely amazing. We just got our photos back (earlier than expected), and couldn't be happier with how they turned out. This team was extremely dedicated to providing us the right balance between memorable photos and letting us enjoy the night. They arrived early, were extremely responsive and professional, and did a fantastic job. Katherine even met with us multiple times before the event -- once to even visit the venue before the big day! We definitely recommend them to anyone who wishes to have photos that they'll LOVE.
Katherine was wonderful from start to finish. Scheduling was a breeze and she made sure to incorporate as many photos from my "inspiration" Pinterest page as possible. She made everyone feel comfortable the day of the wedding and was extremely easy going and easy to work with. I love how natural and unfiltered her images come out and will cherish our photos from the our wedding and engagement for years to come!
Katherine and her husband Jeff are an amazing duo! I would highly recommend them as your wedding photographers!! Katherine is sweet, thoughtful and a visionary. Every shot that friends and family took of us, either Katherine or Jeff were there to capture the moment. They both came prepared with a list of the ideas I had on my pinterest page - which was awesome because I was more focused on just enjoying our wedding and my husband. I am beyond pleased with the actual pictures of our wedding (everyone was blown away at the turn around time and how well they shots turned out) as well as the ease and joy that both Katherine and Jeff had and eluded on the day of our wedding. They both went above and beyond for sure.
Katherine was absolutely wonderful from our first meeting with her, all the way through us receiving our wedding photos. We booked Katherine for our engagement photos and our wedding photos.
Our engagement photos turned out great! Katherine was very flexible on when and where to do them. We decided to have some taken at our home, and some in the park by the 360 bridge. She took so many photos, we had plenty to choose from, and they were just beautiful.
On our wedding day, Katherine and her husband, Jeff, showed up early, and immediately started taking photos. And they were there all the way though the end of the night, with our sparkler send off. She finished processing the photos very quickly (less than 3 weeks) after our wedding. And they are absolutely stunning! They captured our wedding wonderfully, all the way through.
We couldn't be more happy with Katherine and Jeff's work! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, experienced, amazing photographers for a special event.
Thank you Katherine & Jeff for capturing our special day so wonderfully!!!
Katherine was AMAZING and I recommend her 10,000%. The process, from start to finish, was great. Katherine is responsive, clear, and she is a dream to work with. She provides immense value and knowledge and she makes the process quick and easy. We had our photos back the day we got back from our honeymoon!!!!! She is super talented and she managed to capture the day from start to finish and told the tale through gorgeous photos. Her work is amazing!!!! And she is calm, sweet, and gets the job done without bossing anybody around. She blended into the day and got the job done -- the result? Gorgeous, journalistic-style, editorial photos mixed with perfect family shots and details of the day we didn't get to see ourselves. HIRE HER!!
Katherine and Jeff were absolutely great! They are fun and creative and so are the photos we have. They not only provided a great service on our wedding day, they even helped us out at the end of the night! Katherine O'Brien Photography is a must for any event!
Katherine and her husband take beautiful photographs, but they also do a wonderful job of staying calm and have a wonderful presence that adds to your day. My husband and I are so happy we chose them and our guests can't stop talking about the amazing photo booth and fantastic moments they captured!
Katherine O'Brien and her husband are true artists! They shot my wedding and the pictures are absolutely stunning. They were a pleasure to work with, as they were so professional. They capture so much emotion on every face and the happiness of the day comes through in all of their pictures. They use different cameras which have different film so that some of the pictures have a very cool and unique quality. I honestly can't recommend Katherine O'Brien enough! My expectations were blown away! I wish she and her husband could shoot pictures of my whole life!!
My husband, family and I loved Katherine's work! She truly captured our spirit and love and the quirkiness of our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with, always professional and made us very at ease during our engagement and wedding shoots. I can't recommend Katherine enough--her photos are stunning and creative and I love her use of toy cameras, too.
Fantastic! Both Katherine and Jeff photographed our wedding and they were beyond amazing! They were able to capture every touching or fun moment while not being intrusive or distracting. They could pop in and out of the croud and capture the very best moments!! Katherine shot our engagement pictures and my bridal session, and these photographs were beautiful, playful, inventive, creative and all around worth every penny!! Some of the very best work I have ever seen. We also appreciated her laid back style and the ease at which she made us feel comfortable during the engagement pictures and during our special moments on the big day. She has many great ideas if you do not have something particular in mind, and is very talented.
Katherine and her husband are simply amazing. They manage to put you at ease while taking some awesome shots! Would 100% use again!!!
My husband and I probably spent the most time on making our photography decision. We went through tons and tons of websites and then found Katherine's. We were blown away by the uniqueness of her photos and how she plays with the light and different points of view to make such stunning pictures. The creativity that Katherine and Jeff put into the classic wedding pictures I think makes them stand out from others. We used them for engagement, bridal and wedding day with photobooth and ended up with over 1000 pictures that we LOVE to commemorate the special time in our lives. Katherine is fun to work with and is good at putting you at ease. She and her husband are both very sweet and a joy to have around you on your big day. My wedding day went by so quickly and was such a blur but looking back at our pictures has thrilled me every single time. To know that my husband and I and all of the people we love looked as happy as we felt on our wedding day is so exciting and fulfilling and to have it all captured in such a beautiful way is just priceless. The work that Katherine and Jeff do is spectacular- it is every brides dream to look and feel stunning in every single one of her pictures and thats exactly what they do!
You will not be disappointed with the quality of work with Katherine or with her in general. She is so kind and very professional. She knows exactly what photos you will want and she makes you look amazing! I highly recommend her for any occasion.
We looked at several options for photos for our wedding as we tried to keep our costs down. Our decision to use Katherine was excellent and every time I look through our wedding photos I feel like I am there again. I am so happy we spent the time and money to get great pictures of such an important event in our lives. Katherine is easy to work with and fit in like family.
Katherine and Jeff were absolutely amazing. They made everyone extremely comfortable and captured the essence of our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. Katherine is always coming up with new and innovative ways to capture the moment and that's what we loved about her. Choosing Katherine and Jeff was one of the easiest decisions of our wedding planning....after our first meeting we knew it was a done deal. With these two you just can't go wrong!! Thanks a million Katherine and Jeff
When we decided to get married in Texas, where I'm from, I was a bit worried that I'd have difficulty finding a photographer whose style I like, and a photographer that I actually trusted. My background is in art/architecture/design, and live in San Francisco where I have worked on photo shoots with many photographers as part of a previous job. I've worked with diva photographers, I've worked with photographers that had great portfolios, but were not great in practice, I've worked with talented, but unprofessional photographers -- the entire gamut. My concern, especially in choosing a wedding photographer is that I would have to settle in some way -- that I would have to pay an exorbitant amount, sacrifice quality, work with someone I didn't like, work with someone who isn't a consistently good photographer, but just happens to have a few great shots in their portfolio, etc.
And then I found Katherine.
Katherine is awesome, and as an added bonus, you also get Jeff, who is also awesome. They were calm, professional, great people. The kind of people you enjoy having at your wedding, and who actually enjoy being at your wedding, not just another vendor.
I was really drawn to Katherine because she takes photos in film. It's a bit pretentious SF hipster to admit this, but I've always loved film, polaroid, and more analog ways of capturing photos. It's how I learned photography in school, and I was extremely happy and excited to know that Katherine also shot in film and polaroid.
On top of the beautiful photos Katherine has produced, she and her husband were extremely professional and accommodating. She offered to come early and stay late at no extra cost to make sure she got all the photos that we wanted. That kind of commitment to their job/service/photography is obvious. We worked with so many vendors in our wedding that tried to nickel and dime us, so it was a relief and a comfort to know that Katherine's sole focus was to really get the best photos possible. That is really hard to come by in any industry or profession, especially the wedding industry. Most photography packages are so bare bones with a bunch of additional costs tacked on, but considering what you get with Katherine (a full 8-hrs, engagement session, books, the extra mile) -- I can't believe they don't charge twice as much. I would have paid it too.
I cannot say enough good things about Katherine + Jeff. They are all around just great. There were so many decisions that we had to make for our wedding, many that I second-guessed. Katherine and Jeff was never one of those. We knew from the beginning that we had made the right (and best) choice in photographers.
it meant a lot to me to have fun, romantic pictures so i launched an intensive search for the right match. the second i met katherine i knew i had lucked into finding the most amazing photographer i could get my hands on. her work is spectacular. crisp, quirky, romantic. and an added bonus was that she was a phenomenon on our wedding day, cool, calm and capturing every moment in a stunning way. loved having her there and are blown away by her work. recommending her like crazy! she's insanely talented at her price. i couldn't have gotten any luckier.
Katherine and Jeff are an amazing team. We were drawn to their unique photojournalst style and couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire them to shoot our engagement and wedding. They are wonderfully creative, affable, affordable and professional. Do yourself a favor and hire this phenomenal duo!
Katherine and Jeff O'Brien photographed an engagement shoot and our wedding. We were blown away by the quality of their work. Katherine and Jeff were so pleasant to work with from the very get-go. The final set of photographs that they delivered to us were off the charts with regards to both quantity and quality. We had no idea that we could be so photogenic! We absolutely loved nearly all of the photos, making it next to impossible to pick out which ones to have framed. Katherine and Jeff really captured the essence of our special day, and thanks to them we will always have these mementos to help us remember it.
Choosing Katherine to be our wedding photographer was one of the first decisions we made when planning our wedding. Her work was leaps and bounds beyond the other portfolios and websites we had seen. Her work is also very well priced, especially considering the products that are part of the package and the amount of time and attention she brings to the event. She has a keen eye for color, catches incredible moments that convey the feeling of the event, and has an incredibly artistic point of view. I cannot recommend Katherine O'Brien enough - FABULOUS!
My husband is an Art Director at a large agency here in Austin, so you can imagine how imiportant selecting a photographer was. This is why we selected Katherine:
- when photographers show you their wedding albums, it can be hard to tell why one is better than another. When we looked at the full collection of her weddings - that's where Katherine's work stood out. Every picture was amazing, and our wedding photos were equally as wonderful - literally, every shot.
- Her use of color and composition is oustanding. The photos are very rich in color and well balanced.
- Katherine's approach - laid back, we hardely felt she was there, yet she captured every moment. Just the kind of person you want during the chaos of your wedding.
- Cost. Katherine has a competitive rate and I feel a real value given the quality of her work.
You will not regret your decision to hire Katherine! Don't hesitate to email me at ndelger@gmail.com with any questions!
To say we loved Katherine's photos wouldn't do them justice. Every single photo is stunning. She has such a creative eye -- the colors are vibrant, the shots are striking and often fun, and she uses different cameras and color to give some shots a retro feel. Katherine is also incredibly personable -- she listens when you say what you'd like, and makes excellent suggestions when you're not quite sure what you're after. She's fabulous!
