About this vendor
Adventure Addict + Lover + Passion Seeker + Student + Mother + Photographer + Designer + Positive Vibe Enthusiast
Hi. I’m Kathy, a photographer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with ambitions to travel to all sorts of beautiful places. Lover of…family, art, music, film, cooking, traveling, nature, unique people, kissing and new experiences.
I have always been drawn to the arts, especially photography as I love being able to capture people’s unique stories. Over the years my focus has been quite varied and enabled me to capture some truly unique and beautiful moments. I have covered many weddings at fabulous venues and had plenty of fun getting creative with couples and families at location shoots. I still undertake such work at request. I have a zest for life, love trying new things and meeting new people. I am inspired by true love and passionate people.
When it comes to my work, I love what I do, every aspect right down to designing beautiful wall art and albums. It’s your story and I love telling it, one image at a time... My style is MODERN and FRESH and my approach is CREATIVE and UNIQUE, with the aim of capturing your moments in a beautiful and personal way.
I put my entire heart into what I do and would be honored to photograph any of the special moments and people in your life.
I am located in Milwaukee, but serve all of southeastern Wisconsin and travel to destinations as well.

We just saw our pictures from our wedding on May 1st and could not be any happier! Jake worked with her that day and the both of them worked to get every perfect angle they could. ...
She made sure she got all of the pictures I said I wanted and even more. There were also some common shots that I noted I didn't want, and she never pushed me to do those. Very professional and easy to work with..Highly recommend!!
She is very easy to work with and friendly. I do not know however if I would recommend her to anyone. She could have focused on taking candids of the wedding party instead of the s...
ame handful of guests. The most frustrating part of working with her was putting together the wedding album. Things that you would have thought would be common knowledge for a professional to do (like cropping out a hotel jacuzzi bathtub, a bed, people in the background who could be easily cropped or focusing on the people in the picture I selected) I had to point out to her. I honestly could have saved myself the stress and done the whole album myself instead of holding her hand, specially when I wrote her a letter explaining something and she didn't even bother to either read or just didn't care to follow.
We did get pictures we loved and I was very happy with our engagement pictures, but I feel we could have gotten better a better experience from a different photographer.
We met Kathy at a wedding show and loved her style! She was very easy to work with and responsive to all our emails. The turn around was also great, much faster than some of our fr...
iends. We had 1400 pictures at the end of the day and cannot decide which of the beautiful ones to choose from ! We had Jake as a second photographer and he was able to shoot the groom and his groomsmen and we love these photos as well. Having the 2 photographers helps get the "official" photos and also some of the goofy ones as Kathy was setting up and getting our families ready!
Kathy and Clarice did an amazing job! Kathy spent the morning with me and my bridesmaids while we got ready and made sure to get pictures of the whole process. Clarice was with my ...
husband and his groomsmen getting all their before pictures. They were both so nice and calming when things didn’t run exactly on schedule and when the rain hit when we were supposed to be doing pictures after the ceremony. They made sure and got the pictures I asked for and so many more! The Monday after my ceremony I received a sneak peak that included around 40 pictures and they were all so amazing! It took about 6 weeks to get the rest of the photos back and they all look so amazing! Kathy also gives copyright to the couple allowing us to go get our photos printed when/where we want! I had such an amazing time working with Kathy and Clarice and they made the whole process so smooth and easy!

t samples of her work to show my mom and me. She was easy to communicate with before the wedding day, and on the day of our wedding, she and Sean were prompt and ready to go. They did a great job of keeping us all on track in terms of timing, and took initiative at all the right times - I never felt that I had to "check" on them. Our photos turned out beautifully and arrived quickly. There were lots of great shots that I wasn't even expecting, because Kathy and Sean did a great job of mixing with our guests and being unobtrusive. They were both so fun to work with and calming to have around throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Kathy!

ctures back just a few weeks after the wedding, which was awesome! We have had so much fun going over our pictures and finding so many that we really love.

We would definitely recommend Kathy as a wedding photographer.
