Katie Whitcomb Photographers

our photos in less than 2 weeks. Katie is a queen!

tie was able to think ridiculously quickly on her feet to make sure we still got the best wedding photos possible despite the extreme weather. Thank you Katie!!!

er the wedding about how booking Katie right away was one of the best decisions we made. Katie is thorough, professional, friendly, fun, and her work is simply the best. Especially if you are getting married at the Basilica at Notre Dame - she has taken photos at so many weddings in the basilica and her experience made such a difference for us. Katie is extremely efficient and detailed, both in the planning and executing of photographing your wedding. She and her husband Chris work well together to make sure all the details are captured. For example, I really appreciated how they plan for Chris to photograph the groom and groomsmen getting ready so I could see things I would have missed while the bridesmaids and I are getting ready. She captures all the details you worked hard to plan and the way she captures the emotion of the day is really amazing. I can’t stop looking at our photo album. Katie is great about ensuring you get all the portraits, group shots, campus locations, etc. that you desire and will help you plan out the timeline of the day to make sure everything flows smoothly. I am sure there were things she was taking care of that I don’t even know about. She works great with all the other Notre Dame wedding vendors as well, especially our videographer. I truly cannot recommend Katie enough!

he was so flexible and helpful. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. She captured every special moment and every little detail, even things I never would have thought to photograph like my shoes or the table centerpieces. My husband and I treasure our wedding photos from Katie. They feel natural, not too posed, and they are honest reminders of every happy feeling throughout our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend Katie to anyone getting married in South Bend!!

our big day, helped to keep us on schedule and stress-free day-of, and helped capture our day perfectly. The images are absolutely stunning and truly show the emotion and joy of the perfect day. We could not recommend working with Katie Whitcomb Photography enough!

edding day, we would have never pulled off such a successful day. If you are lucky enough to book Katie, you will receive not only the best photos you could ask for, but step by step direction for timeline planning, photo locations and overall reassurance that she will do anything to make it the best day ever. Katie was there for us every step of the way, especially when a global pandemic came into play, and went out of her way to make it run beautifully and smoothly. Beyond how amazing Katie is as a person, her work is INCREDIBLE! We received a sneak peek the next day, a full blog post by the end of the week and the FULL online album within 3 weeks. I go through all of our photos at least once a week to relive the day because she captured each and every part of it. We are still receiving so many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful her photos are. Oh and she send you the cutest gifts along the way – how nice! We will never be able to thank Katie for all that she did for us, we are lucky enough to consider her a great friend after the process!

our entire timeline and made sure I didn't forget a thing. I felt like she wasn't just my Photographer, but my Wedding Planner and Maid of Honor. Even more, my parents and brother couldn't attend due to COVID and she was sure to make them included digitally every step of the way. She kept us on time, didn't forget a single request we had, didn't seem frazzled at all/helped me chill out and was honestly the reason our day went so smoothly. HIRE HER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

are our pictures absolutely stunning, every moment perfectly captured, and every detail documented, but Katie brings a presence of peace and joy to the entire wedding process. We had to postpone, then change our venue 9 days before our wedding, and Katie was a true friend and confidant through it all. I don’t have enough words to thank her and Chris for making our day as beautiful and special as we had ever dreamed despite all the challenges. Our guests were wowed even before they saw the pictures. From buttoning a dress in 30 seconds to giving my husband a granola bar in the church because he hadn’t eaten anything to making our bridal party have so much fun taking pictures, Katie and Chris were the cornerstone vendor in our wedding. I could write a book, but suffice it to say—you will be so glad you hired this beautiful couple for more reasons than you could possibly know.

hing about their work is how they are able to capture the personality of the couples through their photos. They do a great job in getting to know the couple and knowing what the couple wants out of the day; and then they are also so business-like and professional in making that happen. (It often felt like Katie was doubling as wedding coordinator, making sure the schedule was feasible and keeping everyone on track!) I highly recommend Katie Whitcomb for your photography needs! We will be treasuring her photos for the rest of our lives!

reviews. If you are getting married at Notre Dame....hire her! She made our day the best.

memorable photos. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and got so many pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime!

the individual's work, so I am going to comment on what I came to realize was equally important to me throughout the process. Knowing that the someone is there to be a sounding board for your choices and questions. Katie was willing to participate in lengthy phone calls about timelines and details and always made us feel like she was part of the team. That is more than you will find in most vendors and something you won't know the (very very high) value of until you work with her. She doubles, whether she intends to or not, as a wedding planner and friend throughout the the process of planning and until the end of your wedding day.

ou do pose for pictures she makes it feel pretty natural. She’s really organized and she was super helpful before the wedding too. I got a lot of comments from my bridesmaids, family and some other guests on how nice and great Katie is. Also, everyone loves our wedding photos. She really does everything she can to help your dream wedding and dream photos come true. Hiring her for the photos was definitely one of the best decisions we made. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

gagement picture outfits, to planning the day of timeline, to fixing my dress at the reception… her focus was not just on capturing “must have” shots at the wedding. It was about making our special day as perfect for us as possible- AND then capturing those perfect moments as we would want to remember them. Her style of photography is so elegant, but not forced or posed. She made it so comfortable for my husband and I, which made the experience wonderful. It was exactly what we wanted. All the images turned out beautifully plus it was such a quick turnaround getting the images back. Choosing Katie was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process!

ll the best spots on Notre Dame's campus. Plus she goes above about beyond for her clients. She even sewed the hem of my dress for me when I ripped it walking to the ceremony and gave me a cool towel when I nearly fainted due to heat exhaustion on the football field. Best of all, she shared a few photos with us before my husband left for military training less than a week after our wedding. This way he could see some photos before he left. You will not be disappointed if you hire Katie to be your photographer.

she is passionate about her work and takes it very seriously. Katie made the process of deciding how and what we would like photographed, and took the time to get to know us personally to make us feel more comfortable. We took advantage of the engagement photo session which was included and were glad we did because they ended up being the photos we used on our save the dates AND more importantly, they helped us get more comfortable being photographed together so it didn't feel awkard on the wedding day. Most of all, we appreciated that Katie was such an expert on Notre Dame/South Bend weddings. She was familiar with all the other vendors we worked with and helped us create a timeline for the whole day. We did not hire a wedding planner, and it felt like she played that part a little bit. She kept us on schedule and helped qualm any problems that came up on the day- even having a tide pen to clean up my dress when it got dirty! We loved working with Katie and Chris, and would recommend their services to anyone.

ersed team to help with a Notre Dame wedding. Katie is the best and takes all the stress out of the day. Would recommend to any and every one! 10/10!!! We are so excited to continue working with her and Chris on our wedding photo album.

th her husband Chris and together they make an exceptional team. Although I had a lot of interaction with Katie in the months leading up to the wedding, I never actually met Katie until the day of the wedding. Katie is a very hard working pro in the true sense of the word (she was there from 9am to midnight the day of the wedding) and although this father of the bride can push the limit at times, Katie always worked with us and the end result was just breathtaking! I have worked with many photographers in my line of work that are prima donnas, but that’s not Katie’s style. Whatever you do as soon as you know your wedding date, make sure you contract with Katie. I promise you that you won’t regret it and it will be one of the best decisions for your wedding you make!

er better before the wedding! We had great communication with her throughout, and she event surprised us with some gifts along the way! We loved Katie & Chris' shots from the day of...helping to preserve our memories of a whirlwind day!

as her client but also a friend. She genuinely cared about our story, lifestyle and hobbies. I even want to hang out with her when I'm back in South Bend! She's the cutest with a great kick-butt personality and work ethic. She's laid back too - which on your wedding day is exactly what you want. Thanks Katie & Chris <3

te. But, more than that, Katie was wonderful--and fun--to work with. She's friendly and responsive, and, since I was an out of town bride, Katie worked around my schedule to set up multiple phone meetings and one on site meeting before the big day. She also recommended our florist to us (who we loved), helped us coordinate with the reception venue, and put us in touch with a new cake vendor when our first choice died unexpectedly shortly before our wedding. Honestly, I couldn't imagine the day without her. If you decide to work with Katie, you're getting a talented photographer and so much more. I would recommend Katie to anyone.

hotos. Our wedding was a year and a half ago, and I still look at them regularly. They are so creative and came up with some extremely unique shots. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose Katie and Chris again.

ut she provided us with invaluable recommendations on other vendors, our timeline, and other day of items we wouldn't have thought of. She has the taglines 'joyful' and 'authentic' on her website...she exemplifies these characteristics completely in her personality and her photography. She does a fantastic job creating "candid" moments, so our photographs did not appear staged or overly formal. When we were looking for photographers, my husband and I initially did not consider the benefit of having 2 photographers. It was wonderful having both Katie and Chris to ensure we got photos of both the bridesmaids and groomsmen getting ready as well as have someone to photograph the details at the reception while Katie photographed the bridal party after the ceremony. Katie is a down to earth, truly gifted photographer who is willing to go the extra mile for her brides. You will not be disappointed with her as your photographer!

heir story, and their personalities. She is flexible with specific photo requests the day or, yet knows when to provide a recommendation about a photo opportunity based on her past experience. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and Katie truly captured our day and the emotions that went with it. Our pictures are timeless, yet personal and modern in feel. We could not recommend Katie more highly!

hat the day of is a breeze. And most importantly our pictures we absolutely beautiful!

e had regarding our day whether it pertained to photography or not. She is experienced. She was extremely organized and made sure the day went just as my husband and I wanted. She met (skyped in our case) with us multiple times before the big day and was very accessible to get in touch with. She made planning from a distance a very calm and enjoyable experience, knowing our wedding was in good hands. Also the turn around on our pictures was less than a month! I would highly recommend her, and we are so happy that we chose her to capture our wedding day.

r wedding. The photos came out AMAZINGLY!
