One thing I noticed when it comes to planning a wedding is the most important part of the day is the people you hire. We could not be more grateful to have hired such an amazing photographer and person.
I only have the sneak peak so far, but that’s all I need to tell you that Katie is an amazing photographer. She somehow got every angle, we were honestly confused about how she managed it.
I am not someone who likes taking a bunch of photos of myself, I even told her I didn’t need any solo shots. I’m so glad she made me do it. I’ve never felt more beautiful in my entire life.
Picking the right photographer is one of the most stressful parts. I mean you you’re paying so much to throw this party and you want amazing pictures to remember it. Hire Katie. She will exceed all expectations and be the calming presence you need on your big day.

Katie photographed our elopement in the Adirondacks and she was simply amazing to work with! We got married in the fall during peak fall foliage and the photos are STUNNING! I can’t stop looking at them! She truly did a great job capturing our love and the beauty of the weekend. If you’re looking for someone talented, fun, and about getting those picture perfect moments, Katie will make it happen!

d to our wedding deep into the Adirondack woods, only accessible by boat. She did so with a smile on her face and a great sense of adventure. The day my wife and I got married, it rained 11 inches and she unexpectedly had to stay overnight due to flooding. Katie took everything in stride, and even came to pancake breakfast in the morning! I don't know of too many people who would have such a good attitude about such an inconvenient but unavoidable change of plans. Not only is Katie an awesome person to spend your wedding day with, but she also is fairly priced and a skilled photographer. Her top priority is making sure the shots you want are beautifully captured. And for my LGBTQ+ folks, Katie is a wonderful choice, we felt nothing but comfortable working with her.

We LOVED working with Katie and couldn’t recommend her more! My husband and I felt immediately comfortable with her during our engagement shoot, which carried over into our wedding...
. She is sweet, personable, and communicative. She does an excellent job at directing and guiding the shoot but also very open to any ideas that you have as a customer. Many people at our wedding made comments about how cool and collected she was. She was very organized and went out of her way to visit the site and meet with our wedding coordinator before to make sure she was familiar with our event as well. We recently got our pictures back and they are so beautiful! We have gotten so much feedback from family and friends about how great the pictures turned out! I would 10/10 recommend Katie and her services!
