Kreate Photography

ctly what to do so we felt comfortable in front of the camera. Our family immediately started picking favorite photos they want copies of. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we’re so grateful to have had her capture our day!

the warmest smile — she instantly lifts the mood in the room and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. As a makeup artist, I truly appreciate vendors who bring positive energy and professionalism, and Katie does exactly that. Her flatlay styling is stunning, and the final photos turned out beautifully. She has an amazing ability to capture genuine moments and tell the story of the day through her images. I highly recommend Katie to any couple looking for a talented, kind, and professional photographer. I would love to work with her again!

plement to my (equally type A) personality. After a few photographer interviews, I told my fiancé, “I’ve found the one.” From our engagement shoot to our wedding weekend, Katie made everything feel effortless. She captured us so naturally, balancing precision and calmness with such ease. She is a true professional who managed to organize 40+ people for group shots without anyone feeling bossed around, all while keeping the mood light and fun. Katie photographed our engagement session, a small family wedding, our welcome party, and our big day. Somehow, she brought the same incredible energy, excitement, and love to every single moment. She has a rare gift for blending into the background while still making everyone feel seen and comfortable. The photos are stunning, but more than that, they feel authentic to who we are. She also connected us with our amazing videographer, Eli Contreras, and makeup artist, Marisa Perel, who were both incredible. We truly had a dream vendor team, and it all started with Katie. She is one of a kind, and I could not recommend her more highly.

rehearsal dinner. With Katie and the team, the big things were dialed in and squared away with such professionalism and ease: Katie was diligent in planning the details of our wedding day - she worked to have an efficient shot list (my husband has a BIG Italian family), kept us ahead of schedule, and had a perfect plan for the entire day. She organized herself and her team to be as efficient as possible. Katie and her team have been in this industry for a long time and it shows – they knew exactly what to do and when to do it, and my husband and I didn’t have to stress at all. My husband has a huge family, and let me tell you, Katie’s work with our large, extended family photos was a thing of absolute beauty – she learned everyone’s names and had specific directions for each of them, including when and where they needed to be in family photos. We got done with 8 HUGE family photos (with upwards of 85 people in them all together) in 20 minutes, giving my husband and I a minute to ourselves before joining cocktail hour. It was truly amazing! While Katie and the team have the big things dialed down, what really impressed me was the little things. During one of the photos with my husband, I realized my breath smelled– Katie reached into her bag and handed me a Listerine spray to take my anxiety away about it. When our flower girl was crying during a photo, Katie’s second shooter Vanessa made silly faces to make her smile. When my husband I got anxious and overwhelmed with the chaos of the day, Katie guided us through a moment of taking a deep breath and just being together – something we didn’t realize we desperately needed. One of the best things I can say about Katie is the comfort and positive attitude she brought to all our shoots. We first met in person for our engagement shoot; my husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and have no idea what we're doing - we told Katie this, and she made us feel instantly comfortable at ease in front of the camera. She gave us natural movements to do along with our poses so that the photos came out more candid and truer to us. When it came to the rehearsal dinner, she captured the essence of the night beautifully without interrupting us or catching us in any unflattering moments (like eating or sneezing). And of course, we had felt so comfortable with her on our wedding day because of the relationship we’d built. Her team is just as vibrant and kind as she is, and so they made us feel right at home too for our special day! And of course, the photos are absolutely amazing! The team is incredible at posing, capturing authentic moments, and editing. I also appreciated the easy-to-use website to view the photos and ability to order prints and photo books right from there! Katie and her team will be more than a team of photographers for you – they will be your supporters, cheerleaders, therapists, and friends. Your photo team is who you spend the most time with at your wedding, so I knew I needed to be around a team that brought positivity and good energy, while still delivering an incredible product – and that’s exactly what Katie and the Kreate team did. I am eternally grateful to them and know we will continue to use them for future maternity and family photo shoots!

nsultation to end of day wedding event, this team exceeded our expectations. They told our love story as we wanted it captured. We are forever grateful we chose them. And now we have everlasting photos.  

and the engagement shoot was the perfect warmup to help us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Katie is incredibly efficient and creative and makes the most of every background, lighting situation, and setting while still making you feel completely natural and like yourself. On the wedding day, everything was seamless and organized. Katie captured every moment (with her second shooter) and got every photo we could’ve hoped for! We were so impressed with the care and professionalism she brought to the entire process. We’d choose Katie again in a heartbeat to capture any event, she’s absolutely incredible!

We hadn’t had professional photos taken since our wedding, so we were a bit nervous, but Katie immediately made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She was incredibly encouraging, fun, and knew exactly how to guide us into natural poses that felt just like us. Her energy made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Not only was she amazing to work with, but we also received our photos incredibly quickly—and they are stunning! We’ll treasure them forever. 10 out of 10—would absolutely work with Katie again and recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer.

he perfect balance between being direct in guiding us through photos and remaining sensitive to the emotions of the day. We felt fully supported without ever feeling rushed or stressed. The whole experience was seamless, and the final photos absolutely captured the essence of our celebration. We are so thankful to have had Katie there to document our special day. They truly made it unforgettable!

table and relaxed. She has such an eye for detail and exactly the right angles to shoot to make everything look elegant and beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a more talented photographer to capture our special day. Thank you, Katie and everyone at Kreate Photography.

nning period and helped provide recommendations around Sebastopol. On wedding day she nailed it! She not only makes you feel super comfortable but she knows how to position you and get the right details so you end up loving your photos. She got along with our entire wedding party and family members and was extremely efficient on wedding day. Couldn't say enough great things. Stop looking and book Katie now!

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!

t 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!

or 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!

l 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.

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.

ig 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!

cherish my photos forever. 5 star quality work:) I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

amera 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!

iend, 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!

iple 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!

so 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!!

. This studio knows what it is doing; confident, capable, easy, and very skilled artists as photographers.

d to pick our photos.

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.

ng 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!

e 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 :)

ay. 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.

le 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 😻

y 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.

le 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!

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.

unty 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.

ith 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!

r 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!

aptured 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!

sband 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

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!

hoot 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!

e 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!

st 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.

ven 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!
