We were so lucky to find Katie. She understood exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer, better than we even understood it ourselves. From the first conversation it was clear she just wanted to do beautiful photography with no... vested interest in the classic wedding shots and lineups. And the day we met she generously took photos of us for our wedding announcement, without charging us. When the big day came Katie was there early (she drove all the way to Ojai), putting absolutely zero pressure on us to pose or arrange shots, but knowing intuitively what moments mattered. It takes empathy to read our dynamic and the energy of the group as well as she does. Looking at the photography later, it's incredible how many meaningful moments she grabbed without us noticing. She's like a mindreader and a shapeshifter, everywhere at once. She also truly captured the scenery and light around us -- you can tell from the photos that she appreciated the natural beauty that we wanted to share with our loved ones. Katie stayed well beyond the contracted time, to make sure we had some photo time on the dance floor. Beyond all this, the work was delivered quickly, she communicated extremely professionally, and her rate was much more affordable than most quotes we received. We're still reliving the day through her work, which, we guess, is the whole point of a wedding photographer. We're very grateful!
