Kreate Photography

Kreate was the absolute dream photography team! Katie helps you through the whole process! Asks all the right questions to help create the perfect timeline for your special day. We went with one of her associate photographers, but the style was the same style we fell in love in with when we saw Kreate's galleries. From professionalism, to creativity, to execution, would highly recommend! And they have lots of packages and add-ons to pick from to match your needs!

Katie and the Kreate team photographed our summer wedding in Sonoma county, and we couldn't be happier with the experience of working with them. When you hire Katie, you're not just hiring a photographer - you're hiring an ally and friend for the day that will help you and your loved ones keep everything on track from the second she's on site. Their experience at our venue was really valuable, they knew exactly where and when to shoot both planned and candid photos. All of which turned out great!

Katie saved my wedding plain and simple. She is a superb photographer, her portfolios speak for themselves and I knew from our first call that she was going to be the perfect fit for my wedding. What I didn’t know was how impossible the whole wedding would have been without her. When our day of coordination team failed to do their job. Katie jumped in both the role of photographer and coordinator making sure everything was set up correctly that the staff had been communicated with, making sure we got where we needed to be on time ect. On top of taking some of the most stunning photos I have ever seen. So I am not exaggerating when I say that she saved my wedding. Things always go wrong at any wedding and choosing vendors that you trust is needed so you can stay calm And enjoy your day. Katie went above and beyond this expectation and her sole and direct effort made it the day I’ll never forget for good reasons rather than bad. As a photographer she quickly put my photo phobic husband and ease and wrangled family members. Her photos did more catch a moment but really highlighted the personalities of my loved ones. It was by far the best money spent on my wedding and I would do it over again. I also added on a boudoir session with Katie before the wedding. She was wonderful to work with even in the vulnerable scenario and made me very comfortable. I hope to use her services for many life events to come. Do not hesitate to hire her or give it a second thought you are in the excellent hands!

I found Kreate Photography tagged on my wedding venue’s Instagram and instantly knew I had to have Katie shoot our wedding! Her style was exactly what we wanted – beautiful, natural lighting and the most special, intimate moments captured on film. Katie was incredibly responsive and accommodating from the start - on our intro call, she was warm, knowledgeable, and made everything sound so easy and exciting. I knew we would be in great hands and felt so excited and confident about working with her for our wedding. I can’t emphasize enough how Katie lived up to this and more! From timeline planning, to collaborating with our planner and other vendors, we had no worries on our wedding day because of her expertise and our trust in her. And the photos?! We absolutely love our engagement and wedding photos and so, so grateful we have so many beautiful moments captured on camera. Her photos truly captured our love and relationship, and Katie makes it all seem so effortless. She has a truly magical way of making you feel so comfortable behind the camera. My husband and I are so camera shy and feel so awkward in photos, but if you saw our engagement and wedding photos you would have no idea. Katie is truly an expert and it shows throughout the entire experience working with her – from before, during, and after, I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much to the Kreate team! We cannot wait to work with you again to capture future milestones in our lives.

We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work of Katie and her team. Their ability to capture the most precious moments of our special day is truly unmatched. From the first look to the joyful celebrations, every photo reflects their keen eye for detail and genuine artistry. Their professionalism and talent have left us with the most beautiful and timeless memories of our wedding.

We are so happy that we hired Katie as our wedding photographer. She is communicative, kept things running smoothly the day-of, and we were so blown away with the photos from our big day (and engagement shoot). From our first conversation, we felt that we were in capable hands with Katie; we appreciated her experience, confidence, and communication. Working with her for our engagement and wedding shoots was also a breeze! Leading up to our events, Katie was very responsive and answered all of our questions (even consulting on our wardrobe selections!); she also gave us some very helpful advice to shape our getting ready timeline. For our engagement shoot, we ended up having to go with a second-choice location due to weather, but Katie worked with the rain, and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined. On our wedding day, Katie and her second shooter Vanessa captured so many gorgeous photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. They selected all of the most scenic spots at our venue and captured a great variety of poses, people, and details. When selecting a wedding photographer, keep in mind you will be with them all day, and Katie is someone you will enjoy having by your side! She is fun, professional and firm yet polite when needed (when wrangling family members and bridal party!) I would recommend Katie to any friend and encourage you to contact her!

Coudnt be happier w my photos! Katie and Sarah were so professional and easy to work with! They really made the day run smoothly and photographed so many precious memories! I will cherish my photos forever. 5 star quality work:) I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

Katie is very talented, professional, easy-going, creative, and fun! We just had the best time with her during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. I was very nervous and camera shy and she made us feel very at ease. The photos turned out AMAZING. We have over 1,800 photos from our wedding day! So glad we chose Katie and the Kreate team to be our photographers to capture the day!

I could not be happier that I found Katie in my search for wedding photographers - she is the best of the best. From our first conversation it felt like I was talking to a close friend, which is especially helpful since you want to feel comfortable with the person photographing some of your most emotional moments! My bridal party raved about her all day – she knows exactly how to direct you so you look and feel comfortable and natural, and kept things running smoothly all day long (which is not easy to do with so many personalities and families to keep track of!). We just got our sneak peek photos and WOW - to say we love them is an understatement. She truly was able to capture who we are as a couple and all the emotions of the day. I would absolutely love to work with her again in the future!

I could not recommend hiring Katie as your wedding photographer more. She is the absolute best! I had a great experience working with Katie from the very beginning. I had a multiple day wedding with lots of events and she got on the phone with me, shared lots about her photography style, and then created a custom package for me that met my needs exactly. Once we had signed our contract and were going through the wedding planning process Katie’s experience and attention to detail really shone through - she was immensely helpful in making sure we had allotted all the right time for photos throughout the weekend. During the wedding weekend, she not only got the most amazing shots, but she was able to pivot on the spot as timelines changed and manage two big families at the same time. We just got our wedding photos back and they are flawless - everyone keeps telling us they are the best they’ve seen. Also, her second shooter, Molly, is fabulous! Definitely book Katie for your wedding!

Katie was such a pleasure to work with! From out initial phone call, to up to the wedding day, she was professional, fun, and honestly the best wedding vendor we worked with. We also had people come up to us at our wedding and afterwards to let us know how awesome she was! She made both me and my husband extremely comfortable during our wedding shoot and we were SO beyond thrilled with our photos!!! They are so gorgeous and she really captured our personalities in our photos. I highly recommend Kreate Photography and can't say enough great things about our experience! 1000/1000 stars!!

Kreate photography was awesome; Katie did an awesome job with editing and setting everything up; our wedding was shot by Holly and she was awesome. My partner and I love the photos. This studio knows what it is doing; confident, capable, easy, and very skilled artists as photographers.

Katie did such an amazing job! She had such good energy and made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the whole day. She captured so many great moments and we are so excited to pick our photos.

Katie was everything we'd hoped our photographer would be and more. Leading up to the wedding, she was organized, easy to get in touch with, and super helpful with everything from letting us know what to expect to giving us recommendations for other vendors in the area (we had a destination wedding, so this alone was priceless). Then, on the wedding day itself, Katie was efficient and professional, but at the same time she made us feel comfortable and at ease (which was no simple task that day). She very clearly knew what she was doing, and I particularly appreciated how she always took care to make sure my dress was laying nicely before snapping pictures. Then finally, maybe the most important thing: our photos are freaking gorgeous. We'd hire Katie a million times over.

Katie's attitude, work ethic, talent, and product all blew me away throughout the whole process, from our initial meeting to her follow-up after the event. Hiring her for our wedding photography was absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She is amazing to be around - she immediately feels like a good friend - and she is professional. Everything she does is laced with intention, and you can immediately tell she has a lot of experience, enthusiasm, and great ideas. I loved her comfortable, assertive vibe during planning and on the day of the event. Everyone at the wedding was so impressed by her. Then, when we got the photos, oh man. I immediately started crying with joy because she captured our emotions perfectly, provided so many gorgeous photos, and really just delivered 110%. She provided a service that we will cherish forever. I would hire Katie again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone!

Katie was honestly the most helpful vendor we hired on our wedding day! She was there to make sure we felt comfortable the entire day and captured ever moment perfectly! I also have a large family and she was so helpful in making sure we stayed organized and captured ever picture that we wanted! 100% recommend hiring her :)

Katie photographed every special moment throughout our wedding, we were surprised and touched by the attention to detail and the candid moments she caught on film for our special day. She also worked with the weather and time of day to get the best lighting for our couple photos. She had intimate knowledge of the property, both spatially and seasonally: she knew the best places to be on the property, at the best times of day. She gave us plenty of photos to choose from without being overwhelming. Neither of us love being in front of a camera and Katie made us feel so comfortable and natural. We were both impressed at her ability to do that.

Katie was such an important part of our wedding. Her presence throughout the day was absolutely invaluable. She were calming when I needed it but tough when my family needed a little tightening up 😂 And the product, holy cow!!! All these photos are amazing and I can’t wait to send them to everyone and order a shit ton of prints. 10,000/10 I will recommend her to anyone who asks for the rest of my life 😻

Katie is THE best in the wedding photographer game. My husband and I found Katie during the pandemic and she was incredible helpful and responsive during our planning. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we were unable to do our engagement photos, but Katie graciously pivoted and we were able to instead have a longer session with the second shooter at our wedding. When we finally met in person at our wedding, Katie was everything we hoped she would be. She was fun, easy to work with, gave great direction, and put up with my husbands whining during golden hour photos 😂 She never missed a beat, and we can’t wait to see the photos from our special day.

We had the honor of working with Katie in June 2020. We had to cancel our 200+ person wedding due to Covid and decided to elope on our original day instead. Katie was beyond flexible and gracious working with us during the uncertain times at the beginning of Covid. Nothing ended up going as planned with our covid wedding except for the beautiful photos that Katie took. The photos she captured were breathtaking and timeless. We will always cherish the photos she took of us and for capturing the beauty of the day even during a global pandemic. Not only were her photos exceptional, the communication with her throughout the whole process made our experience with her seamless. I can not recommend Katie enough! I can't wait to one day have the large party we planned and have Katie there to capture it. Thank you again Katie!

Katie at Kreate is AMAZING! Her photos are beautiful and artist and capture much more than just the two of us. She was also our rock navigating a weddinging the midst of covid. She is funny, communicative, and professional. She made us both feel comfortable throughout and took the time to learn about us as a couple and how to make us laugh and relax in photos. I recommend doing engagement photos with her too, it was great to meet her in person and “practice” together. She also reviewed the engagement photos we liked best so for our wedding she already knew the types of photos we preferred.

I am so glad we found Katie! We not only love the photos, but she truly went above and beyond and stepped in when we needed support with other logistics. Her knowledge of Sonoma County and intimate weddings during this challenging time saved the day multiple times. She was a pleasure to work with - so easy to talk to, organized and reliable - and she somehow got me to relax in front of the camera, which is not my thing! She was very professional in every way, including great communication around COVID protocols from the day we started corresponding so that everyone's needs and comfort levels were considered. I would definitely work with Katie again.

We are so happy we had Katie (Kreate Photography) do photography for our wedding. From the start, she was personable, professional, and well organized. She took the time to speak with us before the wedding, and was always happy to chat through any questions or requests that we had as we planned. Katie is extremely experienced with weddings, so she was also able to be a great partner as we designed our timeline for the day and prepped materials. Day of, Katie and her assistant were fantastic. She was great at getting all family and friends organized in photos - making the process both fun and efficient. As someone who doesn't love being the center of attention, Katie was also always kind and supportive, making me and my husband feel comfortable throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly and was crucial to making our wedding day a success. Following the wedding, Katie delivered an incredibly beautiful set of photos for us. The website she provided us was easy to use and intuitive, and she was happy to chat through requests for edits etc. Overall, I can't recommend Katie enough! She made the whole wedding process easier and more enjoyable, and we are so grateful to have had her and her team capture our special day!

I found Kreate Photography while looking at wedding venues; a wedding she photographed was featured on a venue's site. I fell in love with her intimate and realistic style. From our first conversation, Katie made us feel so comfortable with the wedding process and photography. After securing a venue, Katie was the next vendor we booked. We spoke with a few other options but no one was as organized and professional as Katie was nor had as high quality photos. Katie's experience is evident in her whole process, from her communications, tips and tricks, efficiency, and style, she is on top of this wedding thing. We did an engagement mini-session which was about an hour and in that short time frame, she captured some gorgeous photos of us that represent us as a couple. The day of the wedding, Katie and her assistant Sarah were so lovely and organized, they made the day go so smoothly. We also heard from friends and family who were impressed with how on top of everything she was (and one ended up hiring her for their daughter's wedding this year)! The photographs themselves are STUNNING. There's all the usual couple, family, bridal party, and ceremony photos which we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There's also some amazing and intimate shots of us during "golden hour" after the ceremony and at sunset. Do yourself a favor and hire Katie and get the extra hours and engagement session. It's so worth it!

Katie is a true professional!! She made us feel 100% comfortable on the day of our wedding and I cannot imagine having anyone else there to witness our most intimate moments. She captured our love story and our gratitude for our community in a way that seemed effortless. She even helped to keep us organized and paid close attention to our day of timeline to ensure a smooth and stress free experience. We will cherish our wedding photos for years to come!

Working with Katie was fantastic! She was super helpful from our very first exploratory call and was able to share tips from her many years in the industry that helped me and my husband to plan our wedding. She helped us to feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. She's so easy to get along with, and at the same time, knew what she was doing and wasn't afraid to give feedback to get us the right shots. She kept us on time on our wedding day, made the process super easy, and our photos turned out amazing! My husband and I love our wedding photos and couldn't be happier having picked Katie as our photographer

After our first phone conversation, we felt really excited to hire Katie as our wedding photographer. She helped in the planning process, touched base with us several times along the way, was quick to respond, and helped pick a location for our "first look" photos. She even met with our venue/day-of coordinator before the wedding. She sent a few "sneak peak" photos the day after our wedding so we could see some of the shots before receiving the entire album. Our digital library of photos is organized and easy to navigate. Our photos are natural and we love that she beautifully captured so many candid moments throughout the day. She also captured all of the many details that went into our wedding (the flowers and decor, alpacas, the band, etc.) so that when we look through the images, it takes us back to our wedding day and you can really feel the vibe. Both Katie and her assistant photographer Sarah were really fun and easy to work with. They made us feel relaxed and at ease, while also being very discreet during the ceremony and reception. We never felt like it was camera overload, although our photos prove that they were everywhere! We are extremely happy with our photos, our experience working with Katie, and we highly recommend Kreate Photography!

Katie was an amazing photographer to work with! She was one of the first vendors who we hired and she made it such an easy and seamless experience. We opted out of the engagement shoot since we already had one during the proposal, but we had a preliminary call a few weeks before the wedding to work through logistics and timing. On the wedding day, Katie was on time, super professional, and fun to work with. My husband, our wedding party, our family, and I were very comfortable around Katie and her 2nd shooter. She made sure that we got every shot and was very patient throughout the day. When we got our photos back, I was beyond speechless! The website she presents them on is beautiful and easy to use, the photos were incredible, and it reassured me how happy I am that we hired Katie! Thank you again Katie!

We highly recommend Kreate for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the bay area. Katie and her assistant were very professional, incredibly sweet, easy to work with and the results were absolutely amazing! Katie exudes positive and calming energy. She is focused, passionate about her work and down to earth. They were hardly noticeable on the day of and when they did need to make their presence known, they instructed our guests and wedding party with polite authority. THANK YOU, Katie, for truly capturing the magic of our wedding and all the fun at the reception with our guests. We are so grateful for your hard work, effort and absolutely love how our wedding photos turned out. We will cherish our photographs forever!

Bringing Katie on as our photographer will go down as one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Finalizing a photographer was one of the first things I did, so Katie was a trusted confidant moving forward and was consistently responsive, warm, invested in our experience, ready to give advice or feedback. Her photographs took our breath away, both our engagement shoot and the actual wedding day. She was super organized and made sure to get the specific shots I wanted with various family members, and yet also infused a sense of spontaneity; we got the most gorgeous shots at sunset in an area I wouldn't have thought to go explore. Katie seemed to fit into every situation, worked collaboratively with everyone (and I hadn't realized just how vital this is until my own wedding day; there are a lot of people swirling around you and it is SUPER important they are positive and each respect the other!), and she was a steady force throughout every part. Katie was incredible, and I can't recommend her enough.

Katie was the first vendor I chose when I began the Wedding planning process. I had been following her on Insta long before I got the ring! She was my dream photographer and was even better to work with. She took the time to make sure our Wedding pictures turned out perfect. She talked to us and got to know us, came to an on-site walk through to see our venue, and was all around so professional and calming throughout the day. I was so excited when I woke up the very next morning after our Wedding day to see that she had already sent me over a handful of images. I knew she was great, but the pictures she took for us were beyond exceptional!! People still tell us how beautiful our photos are! I would highly recommend getting Katie as your photographer. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Katie is so awesome!!! She’s professional and straight forward. Her work is amazing. My husband is a photographer, so we wanted nothing but the best, and she met our standards. Her and Molly are easy to work with. We definitely recommend her!! You won’t be disappointed!

I cannot say enough positive things about Katie. She is a total pro. Took ownership of our wedding desires from day one and advocated for us. She was the first vendor we lined up and I would recommend anyone to book her ASAP. My family enjoyed her direction so much and all of our vendors absolutely loved her as well. It doesn’t hurt that her work speaks for itself. We are gushing over the wedding photos! Ten stars!! I want to get married again just to take more pics with this superstar!

I am so glad that we hired Katie to photograph our engagement photos and wedding. Katie was incredibly organized, creative, thoughtful, and timely at all stages. She was very communicative and touched base with us often as we were planning our big day. We loved the engagement session, which allowed us time to get to know one another and get comfortable in front of the camera with Katie. We're so glad we did it! The wedding day itself was a dream. Katie helped us finalize our timeline, corralled all of our friends and family members for photos in efficient and timely manner, and most importantly, took the most breathtaking photos of the most happy day of our lives so far. I can't recommend Katie enough, and we hope to work again with her soon for other happy events in our lives to come. Thank you so much Katie!

Katie is absolutely incredible. She is personable and professional. She was attentive, directive, flexible, provided space for special moments, and made us feel at ease. Her photos were absolutely gorgeous and captured the essence of our tiny intimate wedding so perfectly. Thank you Katie!

We made sure to do our research when it came to finding the right photographer to capture the most important day of our lives. What drew us to Katie's work most was her ability to capture all of her clients' pure, joyous and candid moments so artfully, romantically, and beautifully. We had such a wonderful experience working with Katie from the get-go. She is so laid back and easy to talk to, which makes a huge difference when you are stressing and planning everything else for the big day. She photographed our engagement shoot, and even though my husband and I were shy, we felt comfortable immediately when we met up with Katie. She guided us through the shoot, making us laugh and look/be more natural in our photos. It even rained during our session but she made it work well! We had so much fun and the photos turned out great. Katie was not available on our wedding date, but her other lead photographer/photography partner Molly Kate captured our big day and deeeelivered! She was hilarious and hyped us up throughout the day, along with the second shooter, Regina. They made us feel so comfortable and attractive! LOL :) We could not stop laughing the entire day thanks to them. They were also super helpful moving us along to help us stick to our timeline as much as possible (but not being rude or pushy), while still being flexible when necessary. We could not have asked for a better experience for our photography. The memories, photos, and overall experience we had with Kreate Photography are all amazing beyond words. Katie really has such phenomenal vision, which she surely executes. We are so grateful to have these precious photo keepsakes for generations to come. Even the engraved wooden USB for the digital files was gorgeous, and it was delivered along with a handwritten card and dried lavender. We 1000% would recommend hiring Katie and her solid team for your big day, let alone any occasion really. She is worth the investment and the quality of her work speaks for itself, but it would be remiss of us to not spread the true good word of her work. Thank you, Kreate Photography. You're awesome.

Loved Katie's personality and knowledge of the venue.

My wife and I were very pleased with Katie's photography services. To say that we are beyond thankful, is an understatement! Katie and Molly were the best photographer(s) we could have chosen for our special day. Katie made sure we stayed on schedule, she made sure to capture all of our "must-have" shots, and most importantly made it her priority to ensure that my wife and I had the time of our lives. Katie made our wedding day special, and we cannot thank her enough for her diligence and attention to detail. We gladly recommend Katie to any and all couples. She is without a doubt one of the most exceptional photographers in the Bay Area.

Katie is pure magic! The best decision I made was choosing her as my photographer. When I reached out to her, we instantly connected. When we finally met in Mexico, it was like we already knew one another. I loved that she was part of our wedding day. She pays such attention to detail and brought such a sense of comfort and ease. We absolutely love our photos. They are so beautiful, detailed and real. So many people have asked which photographer we used. I whole heartedly recommend Kreate Photography. Katie is truly something special

Although we were getting married in Sonoma, we were planning our wedding from afar living on the East coast. I found Katie through other local contacts/ vendors and from our first call we completely trusted her and knew she would help make our day perfect. She kept in touch from our first conversation until the wedding and gave us candid feedback on a handful of vendors - this was invaluable since we had to work from a shortlist of preferred vendors the venue provided and because our 3 trips out to the area for wedding planning had to be very efficient in how time was spent. I can't even begin to describe how amazing she was on the wedding day - she was such a positive yet assertive presence who made every one of us (bride, groom, bridal party, parents, etc.) feel at ease! The 2017 wildfires took place only about 2 weeks before our wedding and our wedding day was slated to have rain and yet I never worried once that the photos would be anything but incredible. Katie has an unparalleled talent - we would 100% hire her again if we had to do it over!

To say that Katie and her team captured our day perfectly is an understatement. Hiring her to do our wedding photos was one of the best decision we made around our big day! In addition to traditional wedding photos, Katie captured intimate moments, the highlights of our ceremony and reception, the admiration and love of our guests and all of the small details that we put in to our wedding (flowers, sings, favors, etc.). She has a way with light to make a picture look magical. More importantly, she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and project the "vibe" that we wanted to create with our big day. I have followed her work for years and I know she does romance very well, but she took the playful vibe of our wedding and ran with it. We have the perfect mixture of romantic and fun pictures. We knew we were comfortable with her right away, but she made everyone in the wedding feel comfortable as well and worked so fast, getting people where they needed to be and made sure we caught the best light for our photos. Thank you Katie for creating memories that will last us a lifetime. Our love truly shines through the photos and for that we are eternally grateful!

Katie was an amazing person to work with for our favorite day thus far. From the first phone call asking for information about pricing and availability, she was professional while still warm and attentive to our specific needs. With our particular budget, we were able to work with Katie to connect with one of her amazing associate photographers - Molly Kate. Communication leading up to the wedding day was easy and always timely, and our in person meeting to discuss particulars felt like we were talking to old friends. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. The day of, Molly Kate and her assistant photographer were amazing and captured everything we could have asked for and more. All our guests were impressed with how seamlessly Molly Kate worked and we are thrilled with the quality of the photographs. Even the follow-up from Katie and her team was beyond thoughtful. Our digital library was beautifully crafted, and the thumb drive of photos was sent in an engraved wooden box with our names. All the small details made choosing Kreate Photography and Design without a doubt the right one!

Katie was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish, and our wedding photos are a dream come true as a result. Leading up to our engagement shoot and wedding, Katie was plugged in on our style, preferences, and vision for our wedding and accompanying wedding photos. She was consistently calm, collected, and having a great time, which helped us relax in situations that could have otherwise been stressful and overwhelming. She is professional, responsive, and helpful - and above all, she is an expert at her craft. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly and will be forever grateful to Kreate Photography for making our wedding day, and the visual memories of it, so perfect. Thank you Katie!

Kreate were fantastic, only good things to say. We had Molly rather than Katie herself, who was absolutely amazing on the day. During the setup and family portraits, she had us all organized, and made us laugh at the right times to make the photos look great. During the wedding we didn't even know she was there and yet the photos prove that somehow she was everywhere. We now have the photos and they're beautiful. Every moment was captured beautifully, and the website they are presented on is not only easy to navigate, but really attractive as well, making them look that much more special! The last thing I want to note is something that really exemplifies the service provided. We got our USB with the photos on a few weeks ago, and even that was beautifully packaged,and presented. The USB! Thank you Molly and Katie for all your work on our wedding. You did an amazing job and we can't thank you enough!
