Kathy is such an awesome photographer! She did my graduation photos a few years back, so I immediately contacted her when I got engaged. She did an amazing job with my wedding phot...

os, even on a stressful and hot and somewhat rushed day, and she was patient even though I had to change my lists and when the photos would be taken several times. I'm really thankful to her for taking such beautiful and professional photos of our big day!

Kathy goes above and beyond!! If we could give her 10 stars we would. She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos, both turned out beyond my wildest dreams. Kathy takes s...

uch great care in looking for the most beautiful settings to capture your love. She also made us feel so comfortable for being some of the most camera shy people. Every time I show people our photos they say they should be in a magazine and I agree!! Kathy is the absolute best. She is so easy going, fun and will give you the pictures of your dreams!

ay and Kathy and( her assistant as well) both went above and beyond helping not only by making sure I got the pictures I wanted but made sure my day went as smooth as possible. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and talented photographer.

Kathy was such a treat to work with during our whole wedding experience. From the start of our planning, through the pain of having to severely downsize our ceremony, and up to our...

eventual elopement/small ceremony, Kathy helped the entire time. She provided wonderful recommendations for alternative venues, and stayed with us until we got everything in place. She's an absolute angel and couldn't recommend her enough.

Kathy is an amazing photographer! She really helped us capture the special moments at our wedding and had many ideas to help us through the process. With covid our plans changed sl...

ightly and she was with us the entire time and really helped make the day all the more special. We worked with her on engagement photos as well and she was amazing. We love Kathy and recommend her to anyone who needs quality photos for a wedding or an engagement. She is amazing!

Gabrielle S

I couldn't recommend Kathy enough. We got married in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic and had to change plans a few months before our original wedding date. Kathy was so respo...

nsive and helpful- even going so far as to connect us with a new venue after we canceled our original location. During the planning process, Kathy helped us think about the flow of our wedding day and guided/coached us in thinking about things that would have never crossed our mind and (if we had had a big wedding reception) would have ensured a lower stress event. She was quick to respond to any questions I had and is a wealth of knowledge. We ultimately decided to have an elopement, and Kathy was the perfect photographer- talking with me while I got ready, but also being sure to give space for more intimate moments. And, most importantly, our photos are phenomenal; and we got previews in what I assume to be record time. Without reservation I would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a photographer.

Maria Raquel G

Kathy did such a wonderful job on our wedding! She captured the important and not so important things. We can't stop looking at our pictures. Love them all! She understands the...

light and people. By the time we came back from our honeymoon, she had already completed the work. Top notch!
