I cannot express enough how much Katie exceeded our expectations in every possible way. She delivered absolutely stunning photos of us, our family, and our friends, along with cand...
id shots that perfectly captured the joy, laughter, and emotion of our day. Her talent and skill are undeniable, but what truly sets her apart is her personality. Katie was a calming, reassuring presence from start to finish, and her endearing sense of humor instantly put everyone at ease in front of the camera. We had a large wedding party, and she handled it flawlessly, organizing everyone with ease while making sure we got every single shot we hoped for and so many we did not even know we wanted. I am beyond grateful she was there to document our wedding, and I will cherish these photos for a lifetime. I’d give Katie 1000 stars if I could!
Katie is not only the most thoughtful and incredible person, she was integral in organizing our schedule and figuring out exactly how we wanted to experience our wedding day. She c...
ame with amazing suggestions as well as a willingness to take what we wanted and make it into something beyond anything we ever imagined. Her creative vision is dreamy and without her our wedding day would have been a wildly different experience.
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Katie at Katie O. Photos! After seeing her in action at my brother's wedding, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our s...
pecial day. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, which was stunning and helped establish a level of trust with Katie before the wedding.
Katie took the time to get to know our love story and built a relationship with us, making us feel comfortable and at ease during our shoots. Her fun personality and ability to bring out genuine smiles made for amazing photos.
What impressed us most was her dedication to scouting the venue months in advance, understanding the lighting and potential backdrops, and her thoughtful decisions behind each shot. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, with amazing lighting and attention to detail.
We were also blown away by how quickly she provided a sneak peek and the full album - it was such a treat to relive our special day so soon after. Katie is an awesome hype girl, a talented photographer, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We can't recommend her enough!
BOOK WITH KATIE!! I only have good things to say about her. We really connected at our first meeting and that made me, someone who typically doesn’t like being photographed, so com...
fortable. When we met up for the engagement pics, Katie was so kind and reassuring. She knew exactly what to say and how to direct us to get the best shots possible. Seeing her arrive at the wedding venue made me breathe a sigh of relief. During such a chaotic day, she always took time to make sure my husband and I were both comfortable, hydrated, and feeling good. I can’t wait until we get the rest of our photos back!! 💕
Katie has been so wonderful for every part of our wedding journey. I found Katie through the Knot website and when I saw her instagram, I knew her style was exactly what I wanted. ...
She even traveled to Califorina for our engagement shoot which was something that was really special to us! Then about a year later we had our wedding in Connecticut and Katie was not only my photographer, but kept us right on schedule throughout the day AND sewed me a button for my bustle that was malfunctioning from the seamstress! So effortless, I did not have to stress about 1 thing. We are soo happy with our photos and the relationship we built with Katie! Thanks again x a million!
From the moment we met Katie it felt like she was an old friend rather than someone we had just met. She had such a warm and welcoming presence and instantly put us at ease, which ...
was invaluable when prepping for and going through such a whirlwind day. Even before our wedding, when we took engagement photos, Katie worked hard to ensure we felt comfortable and that our photos reflected who we are as a couple.
Throughout the day itself, she seamlessly guided us and our large wedding party through various poses and moments, making sure we looked our best while still capturing the genuine emotions of the day. Her prompts were not only creative but also helped us relax and enjoy each moment, resulting in some truly stunning photographs that we will cherish forever.
One thing that truly stood out was her attention to detail and organization. She provided us with a detailed timeline well in advance, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the big day. And when I inevitably shed a few tears, she was right there with tissues and a gentle touch-up to ensure I still looked radiant in every shot.
Katie went above and beyond our expectations, not only capturing beautiful memories but also creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and compassionate photographer for their special day.
Working with Katie was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! Her gorgeous and colorful portfolio is what immediately attracted us, and from the first meeting we fel...
t completely at ease talking to Katie as she truly listened to what we wanted. She was by far the most organized vendor we worked with, and it was simply easy to work with her. Katie was not just a vendor to us though, she quickly became a friend because she is also just so fun to be around and really makes an effort to get to know her clients. Leading up to the wedding I had a couple of concerns with the bridal party, and Katie swiftly put me at ease and handled this expertly on the wedding day. She kept us calm and present not just on our wedding day, but throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her incredible work speaks for itself and we are beyond happy with how she captured our day, but I think how much of an advocate and friend she is for her clients truly sets her above and beyond other wedding photographers.
If you need a wedding photographer, REACH OUT TO KATIE ASAP!!! Choosing our wedding photographer was such an important part of the wedding for my husband and I. We both truly value...
looking back at memories in scrapbooks and photo albums, and wanted to choose someone whose style was bright, happy, and genuine. And of course, we wanted someone talented!! From the first video call with Katie I knew we had found our photographer. She is so fun, skilled and outgoing, and knows when she needs to take the lead on the big day. She also has a cat named after a Lord of the Rings character, so that pretty much sealed the deal for me!! Katie has lots of tried and true tricks that she uses to guide her couples through the photos, and they WORK. If you aren’t used to having your picture taken or think it will feel awkward, Katie will take care of you and make it feel silly and natural!! The experience with Katie was SO fun, and we are absolutely in love with our photos. She took excellent candids that were such an added bonus, on top of the posed photos! We also got a LOT of photos (over a thousand!) which is what I was hoping for! So many to choose from. Did I mention that Katie single handedly kept our wedding schedule on track? Through the transition between getting ready and the ceremony, Katie reeled in the focus and kept those groomsmen and flower girls on track! She also was the first person I turned to when our transportation to the venue was late— thank you Katie!! Finally, it was so important to us that our photographer be LGBTQ+ friendly, and Katie is as inclusive as they come. Katie ensured that both mothers of the bride truly felt special! THANK YOU Katie for giving us these photographic memories that we can cherish forever!!!
Katie made our wedding day TRULY PERFECT!!! Katie is an absolute joy to work with; she is amazing at what she does, is thoughtful and kind, and goes the extra mile to make your exp...
erience unique and special. We have no doubt that our wedding day wouldn't have been so perfect without Katie and her team at the forefront. I cannot recommend Katie enough to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer!
Katie and I in school awhile before she photographed my wife and I’s wedding in 2021. Katie was thorough with the process before during and after our wedding. As someone who is use...
d to having control over the photographs of the day it was huge to feel comfortable with the person we chose. We were beyond comfortable with Katie from day one. My wife is not always comfortable about being photographed and she was instantly comfortable with Katie. During the day of our wedding katie made sure everything was set to go and helped in more ways than simply photographing our day. Katie made sure timing went well, made sure we ate, assisted with any hair or wardrobe issues and simply helped my wife be able to relax . The wedding is now a year past and we don’t remember the exact food or flower arrangements, the invites we chose or the seating chart stress but the photos are what we have the important piece. The photos blew us away, the quality, the lighting , the style and the moments she captured were perfect. The day goes by in the blink of an eye and the photos are what we have to look at on our phone, on our walls, on our family’s fridges and shelves. Her job is truly her passion, and she does a phenomenal job with events and moments big and small to remind people of the joy in their lives.
Katie is absolutely the best wedding photographer ever! Not only is she a genuine, kind, and all-around great person, she also takes incredible photos. The pictures that she took f...
or my wedding are stunning; they capture the magic of the day and our family and friends love them. If I could work with Katie everyday, I would. Do not hesitate to book her, she is honest, upfront, and a consummate professional; I can’t recommend her or her work enough!
Katie is AMAZING! Not only are her photos incredible, she went above and beyond to deliver when our circumstances changed and we had to move our wedding date. She photographed both...
our engagement session and our micro wedding, and she really took the time to get to know us and our story. It definitely shows in our beautiful photos. I cannot say enough good things about Katie as a photographer and as a person. Thank you for bringing even more joy to our engagement and wedding!
Katie was AMAZING. My husband and I have the most beautiful pictures from our wedding day and I will be forever grateful to Katie for that. Her pictures are all over our home, our ...
phones, and the homes (and phones!) of all of our friends and family. There are some changes we would make if we could go back but the best decision we made, and the one we would never change, was hiring Katie as our photographer. To be honest, Katie was so much more than our photographer. Both on the day of and in the literal years (Thanks COVID) leading up to our wedding she was there for us. She came up with awesome ideas, made helpful suggestions and made us feel so comfortable and happy all along the way. Day of, she was my hype women and when things got a little crazy (as of course they tend to do) she was able to get me to snap out of it and remember that I was marrying the love of my life!!!! She was, and is, an absolute rockstar. I can’t wait to work with her again because I know that we will.
Katie made our pandemic minimony magical. She kept everyone safe and captured everything beautifully. Her warmth and humor made us comfortable and her pictures are beyond words. 10...
/10 would recommend, can’t wait to have her capture more celebrations for us!
Katie just took our engagement photos and we are so happy with the result. She did such an amazing job. Our photos came out BEAUTIFUL. Katie was also so much fun to work with! She ...
made the whole process easy and painless for us. She researched locations for us, suggested outfits, she even scouted out the location ahead of time to find the best spot to shoot. During the shoot, she told us how to pose and what to do. She had such a fun and energetic attitude throughout the whole shoot. Even my fiance (who hates stuff like this) had so much fun during the shoot. We are both so excited to have her shoot our wedding day as well.
Katie was honestly the best and easiest part of our wedding planning process! From the first conversation we had with her, we instantly felt comfortable. Due to COVID-19, we decide...
d to postpone our larger wedding celebration and have an intimate wedding this past weekend. Katie not only rearranged her schedule to squeeze in a last-minute engagement session, but she also negotiated a discounted fee for our wedding (we had already confirmed the postponement with her). She is professional, bubbly, and supportive and it is obvious that she LOVES what she does. She was simply a joy - for two people who hate being photographed, she made us look GOOD!
Katie is so personable and easy to work with. She gives good directions that are easy to follow during a photo shoot. On the day of the wedding, Katie was so helpful to assist with...
buttons and coordinating the timeline of events. She had a good plan that we decided upon ahead of time to make sure all forms portraits with family were included.
Katie was absolutely amazing as our photographer! We had a specific vision for our Buddhist ceremony and knew Katie would be perfect to help us with that. Our wedding was September...
7, 2019. Katie kept in contact with us the whole way since we first contacted her back in September 2018. We chose Katie because we loved her style of photography. Her photos are bright and vibrant with the use of natural light and colors. We loved that for our ceremony because we knew our ceremony was going to have lots of bright colors. We had many details that we wanted to capture and she did just that! Aside from the photos, we love her personality!!! We connected through the first Facetime meeting, and instantly loved how happy and bubbly she is! We can feel how passionate she is about photography. On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly. Katie and her assistant had a timeline for us and kept us on track the whole day. Our photos of course came out as beautiful as we imagined! We continue to get compliments on how great the photos came out and how incredible Katie is! Thank you Katie for making our wedding dreams come true!
Choosing Katie as our wedding photographer was perhaps the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. From our initial inquiries, it was clear that she wante...
d to understand our goals and would be willing to work very hard to meet them. She consistently showed her professionalism and preparedness by reaching out to us consistently to check in throughout the wedding planning process. She gave us great advice on how to organize the day itself. Katie also took the initiative to scout our venue (Branford House in CT) before the wedding, and thus was really prepared with plentiful amazing ideas on where to take portraits throughout the day – both outside and inside the venue. This helped us be really efficient in our time and gave us the chance to really enjoy the wedding itself, while also getting incredible photos that we will cherish forever. Katie’s upbeat spirit, positivity, and overall enthusiasm were contagious. She made us, our families, and our friends have a great time. Though we don’t naturally like to be the center of attention, she made us feel comfortable and confident taking a wide variety of great photos. She and her assistant photographer Emma were truly photography ninjas during some of the big moments of the day. We are amazed by the close-up photos she got of the ceremony itself, the dances, and other key moments where we did not even notice them setting up for their shots. We’ve thus far seen our sneak peek, and it is already clear that they are the best photos we could have imagined. Throughout the day, Katie paid significant attention to natural light, and responded quickly to changes in the cloud cover, and the results of this are clear in her photos of us. As many of our families and friends have told us, they are without question the best photos we have ever had taken of us. Choose Katie as your wedding photographer. She is the absolute best and we are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her. She will help make both the experience of your wedding day and the photos of it spectacular!
Katie O Photos was great! We were lucky enough to have Katie shoot our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and she was a delight to work with. Professional but down to ...
earth and understood how we "vibe" and made sure we were comfortable. The pictures were outstanding and I highly recommend her for your wedding, engagement and post wedding photo needs!

Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Within minutes of meeting her, I knew working with her would be a breeze. She was always on top of replying back to any questions we ha...
d, and was promptly on time for our big day. She made it so easy to be photographed, and the pictures turned out beautifully. She was so much fun and has the most amazing personality. She fit in perfect with our small wedding party, and captured our most important moments. 10/10 would recommend!
If you are looking for a photographer for your next special event, look no further! Katie will be your new favorite person, in addition to the only photographer you'll want to use ...
here on out. Katie is sweet, funny, punctual, considerate, enthusiastic, talented, and completely dedicated to her craft. She has shot both our engagement session and our wedding, and knocked it out of the park both times!
We had a lot of apprehension before choosing a photographer. I researched for hours, and by the time we met Katie, we were starting to wonder how we would ever find the right fit. In our first meeting, she put us so totally at ease, and inspired our confidence with her past projects and her clear passion for her work, that we knew we had found the one. She's trudged through back woods and knee high brush for miles to scout locations and shoot with us, guiding our vision for the shots we wanted with her expertise, and making the most of our time together. Katie was always on time or early, and was AWESOME at communicating when we needed it, and helped keep us on schedule leading up to and on the day of the wedding. It was so nice to have a vendor that made it quick and easy to get information, rather than having to chase them down like so many others.Her genuine joy is infectious, and she had the perfect balance of fun and business, making sure we were taking in the moments of our wedding day, but also that we got all the necessary portraits done and didn't run late.
Katie had a great second shooter with her at our wedding, and they clearly had a plan so they captured moments that we never got to see in person, which was so special. And as I was the mastermind behind the whole wedding design and execution, I was so thrilled that Katie and her second made sure they documented all the little details of the day, that I had poured so much time and effort into. She also worked seamlessly with our videographer despite never having met before, allowing my husband and I to focus on the day.
My husband and I are so thankful we trusted Katie with the biggest day of our lives, and you will be too!
Katie was incredible for our wedding. She had an amazing eye and is so creative. She was so easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. The pictures came out amazing a...
nd I loved that I had access to a website that had our pics. Made it easy to view. We would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a photographer !
