Kaytlin was awesome! My wife and I wanted pictures for a really small outdoor elopement and needed someone LBGTQ friendly, and Kaytlin was perfect! She was great at working with what we wanted and was super flexible and fun to be around! She made us feel comfortable and confident, which was amazing! I would totally recommend her!
Kaytlin was amazing to work with! My husband and I were on a tight budget and traveling from out of state for our ND wedding! Kaytlin worked without budget, and time of day for the wedding and even brought her boyfriend as a back up photographer! I’m absolutely IN LOVE with the memories they were able to capture on our wedding day! She was fun, professional, helpful, and energetic. She had posses for us and did some that we were wanting as well. I can’t pick a favorite, they are ALL my favorites! I also come from a very artistic family with many photographers, and they were highly impressed with Kaytlin’s work. Thank you so much girl!
Kaytlin captured our day perfectly! She was so easy to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
We would give Kaytlin more than 5 stars if that were an option. We booked her for our engagement session and we were blown away by her amazing work. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Quickly after our engagement session we booked her for our fall wedding and cannot wait to see how she captures our day.
We greatly appreciated the artistry and professionalism demonstrated by Kaytlin, for our wedding and engagement photos. I strongly recommend her, and am forever grateful for the gorgeous photos we have because of her. She was prompt, patient, and lovey to work with. Anyone who can handle engagement photos on the hottest day in the summer, and then a wedding in sub zero temps with outdoor photos with two dogs, is nothing short of phenomenal :)
Kaytlin was great to work with throughout our wedding process and was very accommodating with our budget. She was good at making everyone comfortable and got some great images of our day. Her photo style is so unique and she really captured the vibe of our ceremony and reception.
Wish I could give 10 stars! Kaytlin photographed our engagement pictures, wedding photos, pregnancy announcement, baby pictures, and all of our family photos since. She is OUR family photographer, we won’t use anyone else. At this point, our home is basically a gallery of her work. If you’re able to book with her, DO IT! She is a brilliant photographer, and an even better human.
I had been following Kaytlin’s photography pages for awhile and knew she had to be the one to shoot our engagement session and wedding and I could not have made a better decision. Not only will you get tons of amazing, unique, and breathtaking photos back... you’ll receive hundreds memories to keep forever that she captures PERFECTLY. My husband Blake and I had a destination wedding in Florida so she traveled to be there for us, and on top of it spent the entire day with us and didn’t miss one shot. Neither of us ever felt awkward while the camera on us the entire day. Kaytlin is extremely friendly and easy going and will make you feel so comfortable while still being professional. If you are trying to pick out a photographer or deciding between two, just stop right here and book her, seriously, she’s that talented.
Kaytlin was a dream of a photographer, she traveled to our wedding 13 hours and really didn’t even charge a lot more. She is insanely reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of the photos that you get back. She was super easy going and really flexible with us and made the wedding day so easy and put absolutely no more stress on me as the bride. She also got our pictures back so quickly and I got SO many of them and they were edited so amazingly. We also were given a free engagement shoot which we also got so many beautifully edited pictures. She is based out of Fargo but she is willing to travel. Honestly you will not find a better photographer for price, quality and quantity and also the time to get them back. I am so happy that I went with her for the wedding, she is a small business photographer that is insanely better than any “big business” photography shoots I have done. My husband and I plan to get random shoots with her when we go back to Fargo. Book her for your wedding now if you want a seamless experience and so many beautiful wedding pictures to cherish for the rest of your life.
Kaytlin photographed our very cold, rainy, outdoor wedding day like a champ! Having a photographer who goes with the flow of things & laughs through it all with you makes all of the stress disappear! I love how real and candid our photos turned out and she is so easy to just be yourself around!
Kaytlin is absolutely amazing! She made us feel extremely comfortable with both our engagement and wedding pictures! She captured all of the most memorable moments of our wedding and more! She will go above and beyond for the perfect shot. She is extremely patient, especially when it comes to coordinating big family photos. ;) You will not only receive your pictures in a timely matter but you will have a huge selection to choose from! Lastly, her price is extremely reasonable which is an added bonus!
Kaytlin is a DREAM to work with. I have admired her work for so long, so when we got engaged the photographer was at the top of my priorities. Kaytlin is quick to communicate and organized, two things so important in what can be a stressful process for some. She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and like so many people, my husband and I aren’t used to posing or taking professional photos together. Kaytlin gave us some cues on how to pose, but in a way that felt effortless and natural. We were both a little shocked at how nice we thought we looked in the photos- in the moment it felt like we were just walking around Uptown Minneapolis with a friend, but the product looked professional and curated.
When our wedding day came, I was so excited to see Kaytlin walk into our venue. She’s got a very chill and friendly air to her, and she did a wonderful job of moving around the venue without needing instruction. When we got our photos back (in a matter of weeks, which was also amazing!), I remember being so happy to see shots I hadn’t even asked Kaytlin to take. I was so glad she had the thought to capture moments I would’ve missed otherwise.
We literally could not have chosen a better photographer to entrust with our wedding photos. They are memories that we treasure so dearly, and I love that I got to support a favorite artist of mine in the process. Trust Kaytlin in shooting your day- you will absolutely not regret it!
