Katherine was the absolute best! She made us feel very comfortable from the start with our engagement session and knew exactly the perfect spots to go to for our Lincoln Park photo...
s. For our wedding, our vision was cozy, intimate, magical winter wedding during the holiday season in downtown Chicago and she really brought that vision to life! We are obsessed with our photos so far and even got back our preview photos the very next day after our wedding! Katherine and her husband (second shooter) were a great team to have for us on our big day and made us feel relaxed and reminded us to have fun! They are the best and highly recommend them to anyone :)
Highly recommend booking Katherine Salvatori Photography for your wedding! She was so kind to work with and great at posing us and making us feel comfortable throughout our wedding...
day and engagement pictures. She was very efficient in taking all of our family pictures and captured every detail of our wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves and have so many beautiful photos to look back on to relive the day. Katherine and Jason both went truly above and beyond as well with making sure we were looking and feeling our best!
If I could give Katherine and Jason a million stars I would. I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding day so perfect and catching every moment. From the first time I contac...
ted Katherine, she was quick to respond and very helpful. My wedding planning was extremely stressful with a lot of unplanned changes, but the one thing I was always confident about was Katherine. Since the first call with Katherine, I knew they were going to be the perfect fit for my wedding. Katherine was calm, reassuring, helpful, and kind. Katherine and Jason memorized names of my family and bridal party, helped keep everyone in order and on time, helped put on my veil when no one else knew how to, and held my heavy flowers between photos. I cannot thank them enough for keeping me sane on a very hectic but perfect day. They are fabulous photographers but also amazing people who are very experienced in weddings. I am in love with my "teasers" and cannot wait to see the rest of my photos. I have looked at my photos almost every day and my wedding was almost three weeks ago. The photos catch all the emotion and I feel like I am reliving my wedding looking at the photos. Thank you Katherine and Jason for truly being the best photographers I could ask for on my big day.
Katherine and Jason were so incredibly wonderful to work with for our wedding! They were organized, efficient, thoughtful and prepared! They kept the day running so smoothly and we...
re just so so friendly to me, my bridal party, and my family. The photos are just gorgeous and I could not be happier with how they turned out. Thank you so much Katherine and Jason for capturing the most precious moments of one of the most important days of my life! Your art work helped to make the day so memorable with timeless photos I will look back upon with admiration and joy. <3
We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Katherine Salvatori Photography! The photos Katherine and Jason captured were absolutely timeless and beautiful, preserving so many ...
unforgettable moments from our wedding day. Each photo was more stunning than the last, and it is incredibly difficult to choose which ones to print because they are all so perfect.
From the intimate, candid moments to the grand, celebratory shots, they truly captured the essence of our day. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel at ease throughout the day was remarkable. We never once felt rushed or uncomfortable; they were right there with us, fully immersed in the joy of the moment.
Our photographers went above and beyond, and it’s clear they are passionate about their craft. The quality of the photos, the professionalism, and the care they put into capturing every detail made us feel so special. We are so grateful to have found them and are already looking forward to working with them again for life's big moments, from maternity shoots to family portraits and beyond.
If you are looking for a photographer who will not only capture stunning images but also make you feel completely cared for and at ease, we cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making our wedding day memories even more beautiful and unforgettable. We will cherish these photos forever!
Katherine and Jason Salvatori were the photographers at our wedding this year. They came strongly recommended by our venue, and their work was outstanding. My wife and I have beaut...
iful photos from our special day that we'll share for the rest of our lives.
If it's within your budget, I definitely recommend having both Katherine and Jason as photographers. Katherine was able to follow my wife and her bridesmaids, while Jason stayed with me and my groomsmen. They went beyond my initial expectations for a photographer team. They even came prepared with breath mints, handkerchiefs, and other last minute essentials for the entire bridal party. While Katherine was doing group photo shoots after our ceremony, Jason made a special trip to bring me and my wife champagne and appetizers, so we wouldn't fully miss out on the cocktail hour.
Truly an outstanding team! If you are looking for engagement photos or wedding photos- they are the best!!
Katherine and her team did an amazing job for my engagement and wedding photos! Katherine was so personable and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and made everythi...
ng feel seamless. On our wedding day, Katherine, Mindy, and Lila worked so well with our families and large wedding party, and made the process fun and relaxed while still sticking to our timeline. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, and we've received so many compliments from friends and family on how they turned out. I can't recommend Katherine and her team enough!
Oh my goodness, where do I start..? Katherine and Jason were absolutely AMAZING. They made my husband and I feel at ease. The directed us for how to pose, but also let us be natura...
l. They did a perfect job capturing our personality and love for each other throughout the day. Jason had an emergency kit in his bag with tissues, pins, pocket squares, water, and everything else you can think of. I cried happy tears when I saw our teasers and our pictures because they were so amazing.
What a wonderful photography team! Katherine and Jason helped us to stay grounded and to enjoy the moment. Jason even grabbed us drinks and hors d’oeuvres from our cocktail hour th...
at we would have missed otherwise. We both feel pretty awkward posing for photos, but they both made it all feel so natural. They directed us throughout, and knew exactly how to pose us for the pictures we wanted.
The photos we received were INCREDIBLE. In addition to that, all the candid photography they did was beautiful and provided some of our absolute favorite photos. The editing was perfect as well and really conveyed a sense of class and timelessness.
We are so absolutely happy we selected Katherine Salvatori Photography. It was absolutely worth it!
Spectacular. The effort to make our day enjoyable and meet our requests was accomplished with ease. Everything from the first sitting, then our big day and all of the post product...

wedding. She and her husband Jason also work really well together - They captured everything beautifully. Jason was a godsend - he didn’t just take photos, he brought us drinks and appetizers to the bridal suite after the ceremony, fixed my husband’s tie, and repeatedly reminded us to breathe and enjoy our day. He even ran to get safety pins and fixed my rippled bustle as they were about to leave. We couldn’t have asked for a better team - we are so happy we chose them for our wedding day!
Words cannot describe how incredible it was to work with Katherine and her husband, Jason. We are beyond thankful for Katherine Salvatori Photopgraphy for capturing our day and cou...
ldn’t be happier with our experience!! Katherine and Jason were organized, efficient, and stayed on time given all time restrictions all the while managing to capture every person and moment we hoped to get! They were professional but engaging and fun. They worked well with our Catholic church and were respectful of the rules of the church which can be difficult at times. They made us feel so comfortable behind the camera and got authentic moments of us as well as quality posed pictures. Not only did they take incredible pictures but they went above and beyond to take loads off our shoulders...Jason was consistently taking things off our hands (literally), holding my train, fluffing the dress, etc. so my maid of honor didn’t have to (unless she wanted to!) I thought it was beyond thoughtful he brought us drinks and appetizers while we did touch ups before cocktail hour (we didn't even have to ask!). They both blended in well with the crowd while dancing and didn’t take us away from enjoying our experience with friends and family. The teasers came soon after the wedding and the pictures provided were absolutely stunning. Their pricing is fair to the professional standard and reflects what we received in terms of pictures and overall experience. I will be recommending Katherine Salvatori Photography to all my friends and family!!!
I cannot recommend Katherine Salvatori and her husband, Jason, enough. They are truly unbelievable. If you are having a wedding at Morton Arboretum, you must have them as your phot...
ographers. They know the 1,700 acres of Morton Arboretum like the back of their hands and they were able to choose the perfect locations to capture photos of our wedding. Jason took the time throughout our photos to remind my husband and me that it was our day and to keep calm and to make sure we were having a truly special day. He also was an expert at making our very young flower girls and ring bearer calm and helping make sure they had fun throughout the photos. Katherine and Jason's photos are truly unbelievable. They fully captured the magic and beauty of our wedding. They also sent us our sneak peek at 2 a.m. the night of our wedding so that we woke up to the most beautiful photos the morning after our wedding. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Katherine and Jason were incredible! I love every single picture!
They were wonderful to work with, and we are very happy with everything that they did.
We love love loved having Katherine and Jason as a part of our day! They are such kind and friendly people and did an AMAZING job!!! Our pictures came back so beautiful. Even my dr...
ess was laid out perfectly for every picture. They took a lot of candid photos too, which we loved. They somehow got the toddler to look at the camera for EVERY picture he was in, which was unbelievable. On top of their incredible photography, they were so helpful all day. They helped hold my dress when needed, helped tie the boys' ties, offered up tissues, made us laugh, and supported us all day.
Katherine and Jason went above and beyond as our wedding photographers and I would 100% recommend their services! They not only took incredible, breath taking photos but made sure ...
we were taken care of throughout the whole night. Both Katherine and Jason were easy to work with, and made sure our wedding day went smooth! We used Katherine Salvatori Photography both for our engagement photos and our wedding day! Couldn't ask for a better photographer!
Katherine and Jason are by far the most incredible photographers you will ever work with. They went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and made it even more memorable than ...
anything we could have imagined. They work so well together as a couple, and working with them will never have you doubting that your wedding photography will turn out beautifully. Their attention to detail is spot on and they capture all the incredible moments with ease. We were so blessed to work with them for our wedding and would use them again in a heartbeat!
Katherine Salvatori Photography was the absolute best decision we could have made to capture our wedding day. Katherine and her husband, Jason were a dream to work with. You can tr...
uly tell by the photos that this is their passion and what they were meant to do. From beginning to end they made the process so easy. Upon booking communication was great and continued to be seamless throughout the process. Katherine was so responsive and had lots of questionnaires and phone calls to make sure we were on the same page about shots we wanted and what our vision was. My husband broke his ankle 10 days before our wedding and I was so nervous thinking about how the photographs would look and how the day would go. Katherine and Jason made the day of an absolute breeze. The photos exceeded our expectations. We are so happy we went with Katherine Salvatori Photography. I would recommend to anyone!
Katherine and her husband are amazing! Not only is their photography stunning but they are such great people as well. They are so personable and truly care so much about each of th...
eir clients. We couldn't have asked for better photographers for our wedding!
Our experience with Katherine & Jason was nothing short of amazing! Katherine was extremely responsive via email helping us to plan everything. She made every step of the process ...
easy & painless. On the day of the wedding they were so much more than photographers! They helped to keep everything moving along and even helped to keep us calm and relaxed. Their level of experience was truly invaluable! They listened to what we were looking for in photos and delivered exactly that! We had sneak peeks of our wedding photos by the time we got back to the hotel on our wedding night! Their service is seriously the best and we are so happy to have found them!
Katherine, Jason, and Shanon were our dream wedding photography team! When we originally started the process of wedding planning, choosing a photographer was one of our most diffic...
ult decisions. We looked at so many different photographers, had several zoom meetings, until we met with Katherine. She was so lovely to talk to on the phone and what really stuck out to us during her initial call was how much she emphasized that the most important thing for her team was for us to be stress free, have fun, and not worry about any drama on our wedding day! And that is exactly what happened :) We first met Katherine in person during our engagement shoot, almost one year before our wedding. She was so fun and easy to work with! Of course at the time my husband was dreading the thought of taking engagement photos, but Katherine truly made it such a fun and easy- going experience. She truly read our personalities and knew what we did and didn't like- and didn't force us to pose in any type of way or take any pics she knew we wouldn't love. She just wanted us to have fun and be comfortable. Fast forward to closer to a few months before the wedding, Katherine reached out to us and started planning an itinerary with us. She made everything so easy and effortless for us! A week before the wedding, her team sent us the cutest gift in the mail, which made us even more excited for our wedding festivities! When our wedding day arrived, Katherine and her team arrived early and ready for a fun and stress-free day! They did everything in their power to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we were having fun! Jason (Katherine's partner & husband) & Katherine had such a great working dynamic that made the day so fun! One thing I truly will never forget as the bride... is when Jason took me aside and gave me a little "pep" talk. While I thought he was going to tell me what to do/ not to do while taking the pics... he literally pulled me aside to tell me to "breathe" and just have fun!! From that moment on, I felt so relaxed and knew that I was working with the best team that truly just cared that my husband and I had the best & stress free day! Another thing that made the day so stress-free was the fact that Katherine, Jason, & Shannon already knew all the places to take our groups pictures at our venue & at the hotel that we got ready in. We did not have to make any type of list for them, they just knew all of the best spots!! They even picked our first look spot, which made it so easy for us and allowed us to have one less thing to think about/ plan or worry about!!
One of the most amazing parts of working with Katherine and her team, is the speed at which we received our photos. On our wedding night, when we finally got back to our hotel... we already had an email from Katherine with a sneak peak!!! THE SAME NIGHT!! We were in disbelief and more so in awe of how AMAZING the photos were. We were obsessed immediately and loved that we were able to share these with family that was from our of town, THE VERY NEXT MORNING!! Not only that, before we received our entire album about a month later, in between that time period, Katherine had sent us a blog post AND some of their favorites. We can not believe how fast we received our entire album and we can not say ENOUGH about how amazing the photos themselves are. We ABSOLUTELY loved working with Katherine and her team and would recommend them to everyone!!
I can't recommend Katherine Salvatori Photography enough! From our initial inquiry to the full wedding gallery delivery, Katherine and Jason went above and beyond to make our entir...
e experience exceptional. Katherine is always very prompt, personal, and thorough in her responses. When I first stumbled upon Katherine and her portfolio, I thought she only photographed models as clients because everyone in her photos looked so stunning, clean, and beautiful!! She is so incredibly talented at capturing moments, both big and small, and turning them into art. We loved the balance of portrait and candid photos that we received as part of our wedding gallery. We also appreciated that Katherine and her team are incredibly skilled at shooting in both indoor and outdoor lighting. Katherine and Jason caught all the big moments, special people, and unspoken emotions throughout our wedding day. They overdelivered on what was promised, both with regard to quantity and speed, all while maintaining the highest quality. More than being amazing photographers, Katherine and Jason were such incredible and dependable people to have with us on our big day. From pinning boutonnieres to making sure we were hydrated in the heat and humidity to making us laugh throughout the day, they were such a positive and calming presence on our wedding day. Choosing Katherine Salvatori Photography as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made across our entire wedding planning process.
Truly amazing experience working with Katherine and Jason as they exceeded our expectations a thousand times over! They are talented beyond words, kind, caring, and passionate abou...
t what they do. We received amazing teaser images before we even woke up the morning after the wedding and couldn't be happier with them! From perfect timelines, awesome locations, and flattering posing; to making sure we all got to enjoy our cocktail hour, Katherine and Jason took care of everything from start to finish, letting us be truly present to enjoy our day and have a blast!
Katherine and Jason are absolutely amazing as people and are truly masters of their craft! They went above and beyond to not only capture our wedding day so beautifully but also ac...
ted as support and are not afraid to step in and help even with little things that make a big difference. They genuinely care and poured every part of themselves into the day in order to keep the everything (and everyone) running smoothly. Our wedding photos will be treasured for many years to come and the photo book that was included in our package is a flawlessly beautiful keepsake! Your wedding photographer search is over!
My husband and I are so happy our wedding was photographed by Katherine and Jason. First of all, their work is absolutely stunning. Those two have a way of capturing the most tende...
r moments on film. Not only do we love every single photo that Katherine and Jason captured, but we really developed a friendship with them. On your wedding day Katherine and Jason make you feel so comfortable and natural. They are also just so excited for you and happy throughout the whole day and create a wonderful vibe! Jason is constantly making sure your bridal party is hydrated and fed. They help you, your bridal party and family stay on schedule. I am so thankful that Katherine and Jason were part of our wedding day. We enjoy their work so much, we know that will hire them again in the future for all our photography needs!
Katherine and Jason are the absolute best! Choosing a wedding photographer was a big decision for me and I spent hours looking at other photographers until I came across Katherine’...
s work. I completely fell in love with her pictures and I just knew I had to have her for our special day. We had to reschedule twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Katherine was so flexible with all of the changes. We decided to have a small backyard wedding during the pandemic and even though it was not a big, fancy wedding, we received the most beautiful pictures of that day. Katherine and Jason made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Fast forward to July of 2021, we had our dream wedding and I’m so blessed Katherine and Jason were part of our big day. Katherine, Jason and Alexa blended in so well with our guests and everyone loved them! Even though it was so hot that day, Jason made sure my bridesmaids and I had fresh water and he even carried my veil! He also helped my husband and his groomsmen with their cufflinks. We received a special sneak peek the next day and we were so excited to see the rest of the pictures. When we received our full wedding gallery, we were filled with the same emotions we felt on our wedding day. I couldn’t stop smiling and looking at the pictures. I’m so happy I trusted Katherine with our special day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Katherine and Jason are the perfect duo to capture your special day. :)
Katherine and her team added so much joy to our wedding day! Our photos are absolutely stunning. But what we will remember most is how Katherine made us feel… She effortlessly crea...
ted an atmosphere of light-hearted fun and made us feel like the most special people I the world! The experience of having her team with us on our wedding day is one that our entire family will always treasure. Thank you so much Katherine for the beautiful images and for being a part of the most magical day of our lives!
Words cannot describe how blessed we were to have Katherine, Jason and Zoe be a part of our special day. Katherine is truly the best wedding photographer out there. Weeks later and...
we are still looking at our wedding photos in awe. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from family and friends. Jason was incredibly helpful the day of the wedding. He helped carry my dress and veil around while taking photos, had water for us, gave so many helpful tips throughout the day and honestly kept all the guys entertained. Katherine is super sweet and easy to work with. We are so grateful we have amazing engagement photos and wedding photos to look back on. It was super humid, hot and rainy the day of our wedding & you would never tell by looking at our photos. We are so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out! Thank you so much!!!!!
Katherine Salvatori Photography was absolutely amazing! Katherine works with her husband, Jason, and they are both so incredibly fun and easy to work with. Our entire bridal part...
y, parents, and many guests commented on how great the photographers were. We got all of our gorgeous pictures back SO fast! If you are contemplating who your wedding photographer should be, truly look no further. They will not only produce gorgeous photographs, but they will make sure your day is stress free. They made sure everything ran smoothly and were a blast to be with. I give them my highest recommendation!
Katherine is simply the best! We worked with her for both our engagement and wedding photos and we are incredibly happy with how all of them turned out! She captured who we are as ...
people and how we are together as a couple. Not to mention, she was so kind and flexible with us as we had to re-plan our original wedding - date, venue and all. She's super helpful on logistics, she captured every detail so perfectly, and was such a joy and pleasure to have throughout our day!
Katherine and her husband Jason are a dream team! From the moment my (now) husband and I met Katherine, we loved her fun loving personality. Katherine was always so quick to respon...
d and answer all of our questions, and her photography/business experience was so evident and appreciated.
During both our engagement shoot and wedding day, Katherine really went out of her way to get the right photos! Post engagement session, and wedding, we had a sneak peek that evening followed by a blog post and full wedding gallery within 2 weeks! When Covid hit, Katherine was so understanding, helpful and responsive as we had to cancel and continuously change our wedding dates. My husband and I decided to move forward with a "micro wedding" at a completely new location and date, in which we planned in just a few weeks, and Katherine was so accommodating! On the day of the wedding, Katherine and Jason blew us away! They were so fun, organized, down to earth and incredibly helpful! As a team they did everything from fixing my dress throughout the entire day, making us laugh and relax, hustling to ensure they photographed the right shots, made sure we had food and drinks and even handled any questions we had with the venue. Katherine and Jason were like our built in “day of wedding coordinators” that we didn’t know we needed. Us, our families and our friends had nothing but incredible things to say about them! Not to mention, our photos are just stunning and we will cherish them forever! We still look at them daily!
Katherine and Jason are the absolute best - experienced, professional, kind and SO much fun! Do not hesitate to book! We hope to use them again one day when we can have our big wedding celebration!

My fiancé and I found Katherine just by chance on a google search and we feel in love with her pictures. Once we met her in person we knew we had to book her. The engagement pictur...
es we did with her at Morton Arboretum exceeded my expectations. Our wedding was originally booked for April 2020, but because of COVID we had to postpone. Katherine and Jason were flexible and so wonderful working with us while we picked a new date. And once our new wedding date came, Katherine and Jason were there for every moment and captured every detail of the day. I would pick them 1,000 times again for our special day!!
Katherine and her team are phenomenal! The team did such a great job of capturing unscripted emotional moments. I feel like they captured the real "heart" of the wedding and I wa...
nted to let other people know about her. She is so much better than other cookie cutter wedding photographers I have used in the past. You will love your wedding book! And she is not nearly as expensive as some who do not do as good a job! And the service it also top-notch. Everything was perfect! Highly recommended!!
We were referred to Katherine and her husband Jason through the Morton Arboretum when booking our ceremony. Loved their portfolio and loved meeting with her even more! She was so e...
asy and great to work with leading up to the big day and I knew the photos were nothing we would have to worry about! After seeing their work, I knew it would be amazing, but come the actual wedding day, Katherine and Jason FAR exceeded any expectations I had! They were so fun, helpful, caring, creative, and WOW the photos I got to see the morning after when I finally checked my phone were so perfect. I could not stop looking at them and cannot wait to see the rest! We received so many compliments on our photographers, and the whole bridal party felt so at ease taking pictures! It was such a fun experience and I couldn't recommend them enough! They were truly the best decision we made for our wedding day, aside from each other!
Was a little nervous to spend so much, but after reading reviews and prioritizing photos in our budget, we went for it. Definitely worth the money! Katherine and Jason helped make ...
the day run smoothly. We loved our wedding photos and received them very quickly—SO many compliments on the photos. We also highly recommend getting an album. Katherine put it all together and we just changed a few things digitally. We also got two parent albums and our parents LOVE them. Again, worth the money in our opinion!
Hiring Katherine was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She and her husband Jason, who is the second shooter, are an amazing team. From our engagement session, wher...
e we were able to get comfortable in front of the camera to the wedding day itself, her calm, professional, and organized demeanor was wonderful. She was highly responsive and helpful in defining our vision and capture our personalities and she and Jason were just fun people to spend time with as well! From Jason spraying me with mosquito spray when I was panicking and tying my groom's tie, to Katherine finding just the right spot near the water to capture the light, they went about and beyond to make everything smooth sailing. And the pictures are absolutely lovely - she truly knows how to capture not only the bride and groom and loved ones, but beautiful natural scenery (we were married at The Morton Arboretum). I would highly, HIGHLY recommend!
Katie and Jason are amazing!
They were extremely organized and so much fun to be around the entire day. Prior to the wedding Katie was so helpful in talking through the timeline, w...
ho and what we needed photos of, and any of my other concerns. My husband and I were the center of attention for them, and they constantly checked in on us, giving us water and bringing us snacks, and made sure that we were happy with how the day was progressing and if we felt like there was anything missing.
They were so easy going when it came to interacting with the bridal party and families, but still made sure that everyone was where they needed to be in order to get the right shots. They clearly explained what to expect for things like our first look and the ceremony, and Jason definitely gave my Matron of Honor a run for her money in making sure that my dress was being held as I walked and maneuvering me around our venue. While the reception was happening, they even made it a point to steal us away for a few minutes for some final photos, which ended up being my absolute favorite out of all of our photos, and it was great to have a quiet moment alone with my husband in the midst of the chaos.
We received a sneak peak of our photos within a matter of days and received our entire gallery while STILL on our honeymoon! The quality of everything was amazing and we loved our photos so much. Katie and Jason are definitely worth the investment, and not only did they do their job that day, but are just so genuine and fun that they will make your wedding day even better than you had ever thought!
I scoured the vendor lists for a photographer that I loved from Chicago. When I came across Katherine's portfolio, I knew immediately she was the one for my wedding. From the first...
phone call to the last call at the wedding, I could not have been happier with my decision to book. Katherine and her husband Jason were SO FUN, too. My now-husband and I went into the day not having any engagement shots (instead we exchanged that for an extra hour at the wedding, which was a nice option Katherine gave us with the package), and were a bit nervous about feeling stiff or awkward. But we shouldn't have worried - Katherine and Jason made us feel like rockstars. They kept telling us how great we looked, talking to use like we were old pals, and overall making us so comfortable.
Important: It ended up raining hard on the wedding day, and that ruined all of our photo plans (they were all outside: 2 parks, a train station...) Instead of despairing, Katherine found backups in the hotel we were getting ready at, and I honestly think the pics probably turned out better than what we originally planned. Her calm, and Jason's lightheartedness, made an easily stressful moment smooth and happy.
Jason surprised us, too, by knowing a lot about all things wedding. For example, when it came time to bustle my dress, he helped one of my bridesmaids do it, which was so wonderful. He held my train and my veil most of the day while we got in and out of vehicles, to keep them from getting wet. Before the ceremony, he instructed the wedding party on how to walk down the aisle arm in arm.
We had sneak peek shots the next morning, which I had heard was something Katherine did, but could not believe actually happened, even as I saw them with my own eyes. The day we returned from our honeymoon, she had a blog post up with her favorite shots.
Overall, Katherine captured exactly how the day felt: beautiful, joyful, bright, and full of love. 100% recommend, completely.
Katherine and Jason were by far the best people my husband and I worked with for our wedding. It was evident by her portfolio and after our engagement session that Katherine is an ...
incredible photographer, but she and Jason were absolutely invaluable on our wedding day!
The thing about getting married is that (usually) you’ve never done it before and have no idea what the heck you’re doing until the day comes. That’s where Katherine and Jason really shine- their professionalism, ability to roll with wedding day chaos, and helpfulness is outstanding.
Before the wedding, Katherine graciously reviewed my day-of schedule and suggested adjustments to ensure we got all the shots I wanted. She and Jason arrived early the day-of and got straight to work, dividing and conquering between detail shots, getting ready, and pre-ceremony portraits. My husband and I chose not to do a first look, and Katherine and Jason made sure he didn’t see me until I got to the aisle! When we ran behind schedule at the reception, they assured us that they “weren’t going anywhere” until we were ready to start the dances and get an end-of-night shot.
We received all our photos on the last day of our honeymoon and were thrilled with the results! They captured each special moment beautifully and looking at the gallery takes us right back to that amazing yet whirlwind day!
If Katherine and Jason are booked on your wedding date, change the date!!! They are so helpful and kind and I know we could not have gotten through some of our day-of hiccups without their guidance! I can not recommend them enough or thank them enough for the gift of these photos that we will treasure forever!
Katherine and her husband Jason were fantastic!! Where to even begin? My husband and I loved Katherine's engagement shoot from August 2018. She made us immediately feel so comforta...
ble and we had a blast. We had a ton of great images to choose from! She adds a lot of personal touches.
For our August 2019 wedding, she and Jason were such a dream team. They work so well together and were able to smoothly navigate our large extended family and bridal party! We got our full gallery less than 2 weeks after our wedding and we love all the photos. We felt like we were reliving the special day when we looked at them, and now we can again and again. Katherine and Jason are great with kids and made our 4 year old flower girl feel at ease. I have been referring to Jason as "Mr. Wedding" because he has picked up a lot of tips and helpful knowledge-- including fixing my bridesmaid's broken shoe, how to link arms when walking in the processional, etc.
Besides all this, they are extremely professional, courteous, and just fabulous at what they do! Very highly recommend!
Katherine and her husband Jason we the highlight of our wedding day! I truly mean that. When people asked us how was your wedding, what was the best part? It was these two. They we...
re thoughtful, patient, and beyond kind. It was a hot day and Jason was running around to make sure we had water, the groomsman were given handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat. Jason even ran back and forth to give Ryan and I every new appetizer that came out during cocktail hour while we took our bride and groom pictures since we didn't have a first look. These two made our day. They calmed us, made us laugh, and we couldn't be more grateful to them. Now I've said all this and haven't even mentioned the photos. Those too were unbelievable!Their variety of shots, attention to detail, and ability to capture those natural, beautiful, funny, heartwarming pictures was effortless. If you pass these two up, you will regret it. Thank you Katherine and Jason, you are what we will talk about at every anniversary because you made our day so special!
I could not have better things to say about Katherine and her husband Jason. From the engagement photo session to the last photos they took at the wedding-the experience was wonder...
ful. Katherine is so punctual with her editing-I already had my entire gallery back in less than 2 weeks and a blog post with at least 30 beautiful photos after just 6 days. She also sent a sneak peak of about 7 photos the NEXT day. I don't even know how to describe the photos! We got married at the Morton Arboretum and Katherine captured what looks like a fairytale. Her and her husband were so fun to work with and they captured Matt and I in so many different ways. I could not be more pleased with our experience! I highly recommend them for your wedding!
I’m not sure where to begin! Everything this was perfect from the initial appointment, the communication to the engagement photos and the wedding day! I loved having Jason and Kati...
e! You can tell that they really love their job and that they have done this multiple times! They have it down to a T and really listen to what you would like! It was awesome to be able to have Jason with the guys while they got ready so I can look back and see their side! Jason is just amazing! He is a profession dress fluffer! He always reminded me that I was getting married in the mist of everything! We got all of our photos 2 weeks after while we were on our honeymoon! I am in love with all the photos! I could not be happier that we went with Katie and Jason! They are the dream team and so lucky I had them to capture my day! Thank you again Katie and Jason!!
Wow! Where to begin. Katherine and Jason are the best duo out there. After meeting them at another friends wedding we knew we wanted to include them in our big day! They feel like ...
family, blend in seamlessly, help with things a typical photographer might not think of (hello safety pins and tissues!), and capture so many beautiful moments. Also, the fact they get sneak peaks out that day, a blog a few days letter, and your full gallery within a few weeks is so impressive and fun! Katherine and Jason will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We can’t thank them enough for our photos and being a part of our day.
Within about 3 minutes of meeting Katherine, we knew we were going to book her, and I am so glad we did! Our pictures are truly breathtaking. Katherine and Jason felt more like fam...
ily by the end of the day. I am a bit of a Disney fanatic as are Katherine and Jason, so I knew they would really be able to give us those fairy tale pictures I had always dreamt of. Our wedding day weather was simply crazy. Rain, snow, wind. We had it all! They came prepared with hot hands for the bridal party (I just had to have ourdoor portraits). They had water and chocolate handy incase we were needed a refresher. They really went out of their way to make sure we were at our best the entire day. We have received so many compliments on our wedding pictures. We received our full gallery so quickly after the wedding. I was so surprised! My Matron of Honor has mentioned a few times she wish she had booked Katherine for her wedding after seeing how amazing our pictures had turned out. Do yourself a favor and book Katherine and Jason! You will not be disappointed! We can't wait to plan an anniversary shoot with them =)
First and foremost, Katherine and her husband Jason are an amazing team to work with!! Over a year ago, looking initially at her blog posts, I loved the feel and look of all the pi...
ctures. After meeting with Katherine, her professionalism and overall personality I knew she would be a great choice. After our engagement photos came back, I was even more sold we made the BEST decision. On our wedding day it was smooth sailing, she made sure to get all the family and friend photos we wanted and more. She was flexible leading up to the day and when I decided to have a spontaneous 30+ group photo she handled with ease! You cannot go wrong with Katherine!!!
Katherine and Jason were absolutely phenomenal! We were so impressed with their skill and professionalism from the moment we met Katherine, a year before our wedding, to when we go...
t our gorgeous wedding photos (much more quickly than anticipated). Along with being masterful photographers, on the day of our wedding they put so much into making us and our bridal party feel at ease and helping the wedding run smoothly. Jason also carried my train around all day and taught my bridesmaids his train fluffing technique so they could use it during the ceremony :). What a team! We couldn't have been happier with them and we highly recommend them!
Katherine Salvatori Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were organized, creative, and extremely professional. My husband and I do not enjoy taking ...
photos, but Katherine and Jason made the experience fun and smooth - and our photos are stunning!
Katherine & Jason were a dream come true! Everything that they touch, turns to gold! Upon first meeting Katherine, I knew immediately that she was the type of person I would want w...
ith me on my wedding day. She is professional and takes amazing photos, but it's really her warm character that is the icing on the cake. When the big day came, Katherine ran everything with flawless grace. Jason was my sidekick. He helped me get from place to place, fix my hair/dress and made me laugh when I was getting nervous. They are the PERFECT team! Jordan and I even asked if we could continue to be friends after our wedding because we enjoyed their company so much! I would give them 10 stars if it was possible!
For me the hardest part of planning my wedding was
1. the guest list and 2. the photographer. And photography, to me was the most important part of my wedding (right after my groom...
of course!) My mom is an amateur photographer so I do know a few things about photography. I had researched for photographers for months. My fiance and I had talked and met up with several photographers before I met Katherine. When I saw her photos online I looked at every single one and fell in loveeee with every picture. There were so many different kinds of weddings and most important there was so much emotion in all the pictures! It was like I felt I was at each of those weddings that I was looking at! Her pictures were incredible!
When we met with her for the first time I was even more certain she was the photographer for us! She is so happy, bubbly, sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. Our engagement pictures turned out exactly as I had envisioned! We couldn't be more impressed on how she captured 'us'. It was so nice to have that engagement shoot to get to know her even better before our big day.
When our wedding came around I was so excited and nervous about everything and how it would all go. Katherine and Jason were right on time and were pretty much our wedding planners from there on out. They had sent us a schedule with the timing of everything, and made sure we were moving right along to stay on schedule. Everything went so smoothly and SO perfectly I still cry about how gorgeous and perfect everything was! Jason was great, he fluffed my dress, made sure I had water, he even took out my veil, and made sure I had a drink during cocktail hour!
We received our full gallery about a week after our wedding. And the picture are PHENOMENAL! Their ability to not to miss a moment is so incredible. They captured all the natural moments of fun, excitement, and love. Which is the most important part to be documented to have for the rest of your life. I can not say enough nice words about Katherine and Jason. Hands down best money I've ever spent, and hands down BEST photographers out there!
