I truly don’t think we can write a review good enough for Katie. We knew we wanted her as a photographer for our wedding before we even got engaged and she still somehow exceeded o...
ur expectations. We were originally supposed to get married in 2020, but had to postpone until 2022, so we actually did two rounds of engagement photos with Katie. Each time, she made us feel so comfortable and like we were just hanging out with a good friend! She was also such a great hype girl every time. When we had to postpone our wedding, she was SO easy to work with and she did everything she could to make the process easy for us.
When it finally came time for our wedding, Katie organized our whole timeline (which helped us more than she probably knows) and was so incredible all day. She was the perfect balance of assertive when necessary, but blended into the background of the day when she needed to. She was so kind, worked so hard throughout the entire day, and she took soooo many beautiful photos. Every time we get photos back from her, we are blown away and they are better than we even imagined - and after two rounds of engagement photos with her, she had set our expectations so high and still managed to exceed them on our wedding day!
Katie created an engagement photo album for us and did such a beautiful job arranging pictures. We can’t wait to have her make a wedding album as well.
We hope we get many more opportunities to work with Katie. She is wonderful both as a photographer and a person. Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding!!
Katie could not have done a better job for our wedding. She was very accommodating, and on the wedding day, she calmed our nerves, made some great suggestions on the fly, and deli...
vered an incredible product. Cannot recommend her enough!
Katie is a Godsend straight from Heaven! I was super nervous about finding the perfect photographer for our wedding because pictures mean a lot to me and I wanted to make sure we h...
ad the best of the best and we certainly did. We are so thankful we came across Katie's pictures from our venue's website. We knew instantly that Katie would be the one capturing our special day. Katie came all the way from Buffalo to Long Island, NY for our wedding and we couldn't be more grateful for that. Not only is Katie one of the sweetest people we have ever met, she is also very professional, caring, hard working and incredible at what she does. Katie took time out of her days to make timelines so we were prepared and good on timing which is really did appreciate. As soon as she arrived the morning of, I felt a sense of relief and knew we were in the best hands. Katie knew how much it meant to me to get certain family pictures and at times I almost forgot since there was a lot going on, she remembered and it meant a lot. Our family and friends also told us how sweet and amazing she was. Katie sent us a few pictures while we waited for the full album to be done and needless to say, we were blown away and there were also a lot of tears shed and the same happened when we received our full album. We were speechless and all we could say while looking through each picture was "waw". We are so incredibly lucky to have these stunning memories captured for us to look back on through the years and to show our kids one day. If you get the opportunity to book Katie, Please do it! You will NOT regret it!!
Hiring Katie to capture our wedding day was by far the best decision we could've made! I originally found Katie on instagram and we did our engagement photos which turned out even ...
more beautiful than i ever could've imagined! We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid twice, and Katie was extremely flexible and responsive as we finally settled on a new date! On the wedding day itself, Katie and her second shooter were nothing but rays of sunshine. They were organized and professional, but are so so personable and funny that they made the day feel like even more of a dream! They hyped us up and everyone in the wedding party was raving about her! You will absolutely regret not hiring her to capture your big day!! 100/10 cannot recommend her enough!!
I couldn’t last the weekend without posting a rave review about Katie and Diana! They were absolutely wonderful!! Katie has the most amazing artistic vision and her work with color...
and light is unbelievable. They were so fun and professional and genuinely lovely - they made the entire wedding party feel comfortable and good even in 85 degree heat. I cannot recommend Katie Finnerty Photography enough!!!
The first and best decision we made throughout wedding planning (after booking our venue) was to hire Katie. I LOVE photography so it was extremely important to me to have someone ...
capture our day who truly knows and practices the art of photography. I saw her pictures and was in awe of them. After meeting with Katie we knew she would be a perfect fit because we were both so comfortable with her. Katie is extremely organized, communicates quickly and is such a joy to work with. She captured the true happiness behind every moment. I think it’s so important to freeze those moments in time and now we have the most STUNNING pictures to look back on and remind us of the most perfect day. The day went so smoothly in large part to Katie. Everyone always compliments us on how beautiful our pictures are. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Katie for making our big day so perfect and for capturing the pure magic we felt that day!

Katie Finnerty is both an amazing human and photographer, and we are so happy to have had her as our photographer at our 6/29/19 Finger Lakes wedding. From the beginning of the pla...
nning process, Katie was remarkably efficient and organized in addition to being personable and relaxed- my husband and I both immediately felt comfortable with her. She was so accommodating to our vision whilst offering extremely helpful advice, having been in the wedding industry for so long. She not only captured love and light but helped the day of flow so extremely smoothly- all thanks to her aforementioned organization! My wedding party and guests cannot stop talking about how sweet she was and how AMAZING the photographs are- thank you, Katie!
Katie Finnerty- Our amazing photographer, aka captor of love and light. We have loved working with you throughout our entire wedding planning process. From our first meeting with y...
ou at Spot Coffee, to our engagement shoot, to the countless emails back and forth, to our big day- you made us feel so incredibly special and comfortable. I kept describing you as a lovely little bubble, capturing our attention when needed, but moving swiftly around us and blending into the background when necessary. Then so sad when you had to float away at the end of the night! We loved having your husband as your second shooter, he came to the rescue many times! Especially with that Claritin! Watching the two of you work together so seamlessly was a beautiful thing, and a great example of what teamwork and love can achieve. We are honored and proud to tell people about who captured our big day, and we hope to have you capture more exciting events in our lives! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
She is incredible. Before we even met her, I fell in love with her gallery. Once we met, I knew she would be perfect! Our engagement photos turned out exactly how I imagined and I ...
couldnt wait for our wedding. This past weekend, she really outdid herself. She is polite, genuine, creative and passionate about her job. She made our whole wedding party feel at ease and kept us on track so we got all the shots we wanted. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and is easily one of the most talented photographers in Rochester. I can’t wait to see our photos
I asked a friend of mine just on a whim who she used as her wedding photographer and she told me Katie. From the moment I looked at Katie's work I knew I wanted her to photograph ...
our wedding. She is simply amazing. To start, she responds very quickly and was an absolute joy to work with. Her photography is absolutely gorgeous. She is fantastic at finding the perfect light/backdrop and we loved how spontaneous she was. I was also very drawn to how natural the photos are. I've seen some photography out there where there just seemed to be a lot of unnecessary photoshop and she has none of that. I love looking back at our engagement and wedding photos and seeing how she captures the emotions of the moment and how candid they were. Her enthusiasm and excitement are truly infectious. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera and she made it so easy. We pretty much laughed and giggled the entire time. Not to mention, we had some inclement weather the day of and she just took it in stride and helped us get the outdoor photos we really wanted. We feel so fortunate that we met Katie. I could not have picked a better person to do our photography!
Katie is a phenomenal photographer! She was very accommodating with our special requests for photos, while also encouraged and suggested unique, spontaneous shots that truly captur...
ed the amazing moments of our wedding day. Throughout the night, she made sure that we had all the photos that we wanted, and she kept us totally on schedule without us allowing us to relax and have no worries about timing of the events. Our guests and friends are still raving about how great Katie was! While we hadn’t met in person before the wedding, we were immediately so comfortable with her when we met on our wedding day. She kindly traveled to the Albany area the day of our wedding and captured all of the day’s special moments for us.
My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to have Katie photograph the most important day of our lives. From the moment we met her, Katie was genuinely kind, friendly...
, and the type of person who makes you feel comfortable instantly! Leading up to our wedding day, she was so helpful with every single detail – including planning a detailed itinerary that helped make our wedding day completely stress-free!
We are truly able to treasure every single moment of our wedding day because of Katie. She captured the most beautiful candid moments, stunning portraits, AND photos of all of our friends and family who are still raving about how amazing she is at what she does! She didn’t miss a single moment, and she captured our happiness better than I could have ever imagined! Every photo is truly a work of art on its own which made choosing favorites next to impossible. We love every single one! We would recommend Katie without a doubt!
My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Katie! She was highly recommended through a friend of ours and I am so glad that she was. From our initial emails back and...
forth, to our first conversation, to our wedding day, Katie was so responsive, friendly, and professional. She is one of the most genuine and kind people that we have ever met. Katie made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and we cannot thank her enough. At no point did we ever feel stressed and she was a huge reason for that. Even our families were in love with her! My grandma could not stop raving about how adorable Katie is and my father said that she was hands down the best investment that we made that day. Aside from being a legitimate angel from above, she is INSANELY talented. Our pictures turned out absolutely incredible and I love every single one of them!! She captured the day perfectly. We have received so many messages from family, friends, and even strangers asking who our photographer was. If Katie is available for your wedding, we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone. It will be the best decision that you make for your big day. :) - The Mulcahy's
Katie is truly THE best. She's not only an incredibly kind and sweet person, but also a truly talented, professional, creative, and all around wonderful photographer. Leading up to...
the wedding, she was very timely and thorough in her communication with us. She was also VERY organized -- she created this detailed itinerary of the day, which helped us tremendously! The day of the wedding, she instantly made us all feel calm and comfortable in front of the camera. She was energetic and supportive and shared in our excitement, while also finding a way to stay behind the scenes! She captured every single moment of the day, and we loved EVERY picture. She took so many beautiful candid photos too, which have always been my favorite. We cannot say enough good things about Katie!!

oot and on our wedding day. Katie is passionate about photography and she helped us to feel comfortable with being in front of the camera.
She is very detail-oriented and walked us through every step of the process of planning our photography for our wedding day. Katie met with us ahead of time and helped us to create a wedding day timeline, and she was very patient with us when we were unsure about our plans or changed our minds. She came up with a list of combinations of people from our families and bridal party that we wanted to make sure we had pictures of during the formal wedding pictures. Her assistant helped to make sure that we stayed on schedule so that we did not need to worry about this on our wedding day.
Our engagement and wedding pictures are INCREDIBLE, we couldn't be happier with Katie's work. She took beautiful pictures of almost every single one of our wedding guests, and our guests were thrilled with her pictures as well. We highly recommend Katie as a wedding photographer! She is very talented, and is a pleasure to work with.
We found Katie through word of mouth! Come to find out she did my cousins wedding, her best friend, several people I went to high school with & several other beautiful and unique w...
eddings. The day I met Katie I knew she was the perfect person to photograph our day! She made my husband smile, made us feel incredibly comfortable, incorporated our puppy & braved outside photos in the snow! She took every photo I asked for and more. I can't wait to see the day she captured, and truly can't wait to use her again for every other special event in our life. Thank you Katie! You're amazing.
Katie is amazing, we have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and she captured every moment in a special way- we couldn't be happier. We truly appreciate her skill, we've re...
ferred her to all of our to-be-wed couples!
