Lovestruck Images

great too ;) She's such a pro and patient and full of fantastic ideas for truly memorable shots.

rived in Alexandria to talk through the photo list and plans for the day. She was incredibly kind and took amazing care of us, while also moving things along efficiently and smoothly.

e easiest person to work with, but she gelled with me seamlessly! It is important to note that Katie not only captured the moments I wanted, but she also captured ones that I didn't know would happen. Her pictures show the true emotion and happiness of our day. We are so thankful for her time and talents.

ation really put us at ease, on top of that she is really fun to be around and a wealth of wedding knowledge. She worked with our budget and walked us through the process. You are really taken care of when you book Lovestruck. I am constantly recommending Lovestruck to friends, co-workers and raving about her to anyone who brings up wedding photography. We really loved having her as our photographer - My family wanted to adopt her. Our photos are amazing: the quality, quantity, lighting, variety of pictures and people. They really captured all the great memories from our wedding. Lovestruck really knows photos, weddings and people!

s wonderful! She immediately put me at ease and I forgot all about my nerves. The pictures are great. I love all the candids she got of my crazy dancing family. I can't wait for our album to come!

engagement session, photo guest book for the wedding and photography at our ceremony and reception. For the engagement session we wanted photos from our neighborhood in downtown Silver Spring. We had given Katie a couple of location ideas and she scoped those locations out prior to meeting with us. She even scoped out other ideas to find the best photo spots. The guestbook, which included photos from the engagement session, turned out great. Our guests loved it and really enjoyed being able to thumb through the photos. The guestbook lended a very personal feel to the wedding. At the wedding we had Katie and one other photographer. We loved working with both of them. They captured the posed photos that we wanted plus all the fun, candid action shots that we wanted. Our guests told us afterwards that they didn't even notice Katie and her assistant because they were so deliberate to not be noticed. The wedding photos were absolutely perfect. They really captured the day and got all the moments we didn't get to see. We are so excited to see our wedding album. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lovestruck Images for your wedding photography needs.

xpressions throughout our special day. I had seen a lot of mushy portfolios or other examples of images that seemed unnatural- and I was determined to find the right fit for us, AND WE DID!! From the initial conversations to find out more about us, to the end of receiving our albums - the experience with Katie and Stacey was always personable, which meant a lot. They really made the effort to connect and interact in a way that felt comfortable and relaxing. Although they experienced a challenge in getting the lighting balanced in the cathedral from glass window reflections- they were quick to creatively come up with other location solutions to keep everyone on their toes and stay on schedule! We had a brunch the following morning after the wedding, and they sent one of their photographers from our wedding to capture some of the family portraits we hadn't had a chance to do the previous evening. It was so perfect, because we still captured the images with the family that we wanted- and it was a more relaxed setting the day after at our home environment with the beautiful landscaping my parents had done. THOSE images have been so memorable as well, and we are grateful LoveStruckImages made that possible for us! I would recommend them in a heartbeat, because they care :)

wedding pictures. Katie has a great personality and was very professional, and did a great job getting pictures of literally everyone who came to our wedding (family, family friends, bride/groom friends, even the DJ). And the pictures are amazing.

d reflect our personalities! She was so easy to work with and was a professional the entire day. I am so happy that I went with her for my photographer!

id a superb job of keeping us on track on the day of as well as it's all so chaotic and you need someone who can keep a check on that part of the process. The pictures turned out great and we love our album and all the memories it brought back. Thanks again to the Lovestruck team! We are super pleased with their service and quality!

ment and wedding shoots and I couldn't have been more pleased. Stacey and Matt were so easy to work with and so laid back that they were a calming influence for me on my wedding day. They were part of the party without intruding, and in addition to having great personalities they're both amazing photographers! Everyone was raving about the guest book Katie put together with Stacey's engagement shots, and Stacey and Matt's wedding photos are sublime. They captured all the best moments of our day beautifully!

wonderful for me to work with since I did most of the communication with her. We went with the MAD LOVE package which had everything we wanted plus a reasonable rate. Photography was a one of top priorities and I could not be happier with selecting Lovestruck Images and I was so happy to have Katie with me on my wedding day! Our engagement session was so much fun (much more fun than I thought it was going to be!). Katie is down-to-earth, funny, and creative. That's a pretty great mix to have behind the camera. I was also really thankful that we did an engagement session. It made the wedding day pictures even more relaxed. As for the big day, Katie was wonderful to have around and she was SO great with our families. I felt very comfortable and confident in her. She also held my chapstick for me all day, which was a great help! :) I am extremely happy with my experience with Katie at Lovestruck Images. I highly recommend this vendor!!!!

xperience and comfort level working with a gay couple. We couldn't have had a better experience (or better photos) so it was a no brainer that we would hire her for our wedding. Preparing for the big day with Katie was flawless, she was totally on top of everything and very professional, yet fun. She had great recommendations for anything and everything related to the wedding, which was really helpful. The day of the wedding was perfect and Katie and Matt were a major part of that. Not only did they act as amazing photographers, they helped keep everyone on track and smiling/laughing. The process of taking all of our photos was easy, fun, and enjoyable and the photos came out better than we expected...and we expected them to be perfect! We wanted to go more editorial in our style and that's exactly what we got. We got so many amazing shots and it was like they were in all the right spots at all the right times...perfect. All of our friends and family who interacted with Katie and Matt commented on how professional, fun, and talented they are. I recommend Katie to everyone and we'll definitely use her in the future for family photography or whatever we can justify using a pro for. My favorite anecdote about Katie is the morning of the wedding, I was stressed (surprise) and was running around telling everyone they were late and we had to rush and when Katie and Matt showed up, she reminded me I was running an hour early and I had been telling everyone the wrong time. I'm glad someone had calm nerves that day! If you're looking for talented, skilled, professional, fun, friendly, beyond-your-expectations photographers, look no further.

would be available for my wedding. I was so happy with the job that Katie and her team did at my wedding. My husband and I love the pictures from my our wedding. Katie was so easy to work with and she made sure the photographs were exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Lovestruck Images!

ing short of amazing. 2. She genuinely connected with us. She was SO excited for us and our ideas and wanted to be a part of our history. On the way home we couldn’t stop talking about her. Fast forward to now. My Wife and I have been married almost a year. The walls of our new home are lined with Lovestruck’s photos. When we look back on our Wedding Day it was a surreal adventure. But if we said that Katie was merely the photographer at our wedding, it would be a lie. She was an advisor, a calming presence in the chaos of friends and family and if I could go back and make her an honorary bridesmaid I absolutely would. In one instance we had a mishap where the keys to one of our vehicles was temporarily lost, stranding half the wedding party and making them ridiculously late to the reception. The rest of our guests were there and we had no one to announce us to the party! Katie went above and beyond and announced us as a wedded couple to our closest relations, bustled my wife's dress in the absence of the MOH, and acted as a bouncer when tourists invaded our wedding ceremony at the West Lawn of the Jefferson Memorial. Not to mention she captured the essence of our surroundings and really utilized the memorials in our photos. We had many opportunities to skimp on wedding vendors, to go with that family friend that sort of knew how to work a camera and that just-finished-college budget to boot. Let me tell you something (because this super long review clearly isn’t enough) Katie Norwood is a professional that knows her craft, understands people and anticipated our needs before we had even registered having them. The only thing that scares me more than “What if we hadn’t worked with Katie?” is “What if I never met my wife?” ~Rhy and Bri

inside the Aquarium and under the tent outside. She was very comfortable to work with! I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting great, creative pictures!!!! Kara and Johnny-Baltimore, MD

also love that I was able to download them all. The high level of technology that Lovestruck has made them a dream to work with!

esponsive and one of the few vendors that would reach out to me first to check in to see if there was anything she could do. These guys are amazing!!

truly unique. She helped us customize our package to include what was important to us. Her photo booth props are hysterical and our guests had an AWESOME time playing with them!! Katie is also very professional, she handled my large and loud family with ease and everyone commented on how nice she was. She helped keep things moving at the wedding and made suggestions of some beautiful pictures. I have been a bridesmaid in 2 weddings she shot and I HAD to have her for my wedding after seeing my friends albums and she lived up to my expectations!!

feel comfortable. We did an engagement session with Katie and I was worried it was going to be awkward and she makes you feel right at home. This is a wonderful company that will give you beautiful photos and make sure you have a great time! I highly recommend Lovestruck to anyone out there who is getting married! You will NOT be disappointed!

pictures back and very profession. We absolutely loved working with her and will use her in the future.

I decided to push for her because I really loved what she had to show me, and the woman really knows her weddings, as well as photography. Engagement session was great. I knew then that I'd made the right choice! A couple hiccups along the way, but she was completely on top of everything and nothing fazed her. Day of the wedding, we had an awesome time. Katie is very flexible, very enthusiastic, and knows what the bride needs to hear, what she needs to do, better than the bride herself. In the days following the wedding, I kept hearing from all my guests that they LOVED my photographer. I don't think that's a common compliment for weddings, but it was totally deserved. She was great with the guests, her personality is just so great! I just received our wedding photos and the verdict is in. Even though her packages were a little more expensive than we initially wanted, it was worth every penny, and more. I can't stress the importance of wedding photos enough, and I'm extremely happy with the decisions we made on that front. I told Katie that if there was one thing I learned from wedding prep, it was that I never wanted a divorce, because I didn't want to ever plan another wedding. But if I did! I'd call on Katie again, absolutely.

e day of our wedding, Katie and Matt did a fantastic job getting all the shots we wanted and were very professional and fun! We just received our wedding photos and could not be happier. Our engagement album was beautiful and we know our wedding album will be too. They are a great company to work with and make you feel at ease that you will get all your memories captured, I would definitely recommend Lovestruck!

avalable to answer my questions from the original meeting, save teh date magnets even past the wedding day desinging our album. During our engament session she spent extra time with us to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted which was amazing an above and beyond for her to do! she even took time out of her day a week or so before the wedding to check out all of our venues to ensure she could get the best pictures. she truely went above and beyond and we loved working with Lovestruck Images... THANK YOU!!!

make sure they are comfortable with her and with being in front of the camera, prior to the big day. She enjoys what she does, is responsive, organized, decisive, and makes sure her brides & grooms are satisfied. She made such a good impression on our venue coordinator, now they are looking to have her as a recommended vendor and provide pictures for them, too. Our engagement session was a lot of fun -- Katie even spent some extra time with us -- and sent back a few photos earlier than expected, since I needed them for the invitations. She also does a good job at keeping us on schedule for the day of, and managing her professional shots with eager camera-hounds (aka friends & relatives) trying to snap the same shots. We also wanted a photo booth at the last-minute, which was a lot of fun and she had the photo booth images posted for guests within 2 days of our wedding. She offers mutliple levels of service. Ours included a 2nd photographer (easier for weddings over 100 guests), and he did a great job, too! Thank you, Lovestruck Images!

ul. We knew we had to have her for our wedding. She was very accomadating to what our needs were. She and her assistant showed up early to our wedding to check out some good spots. They did amazing job, especially with the wedding party and were able to handle all the drunk groomsmen. They both gave great direction and had some really nice idea. Plus I had given Katie some photo ideas that I like and she was able to recreate them for us. The turnaround time was super fast for both the engagment photos and the wedding photos. Katie is very on top of her emails and answered my questions right away. We plan to hire Katie yearly to take photos of us and eventually our family.

Katie's laid back attitude paired with her ability to make you comfortable and ensure she gets the shots you care about is such a great combination. Another fantastic point to mention is that a lot of photographers are very intrusive on your day, and I have to say that I didn't even notice they were there-- the entire evening. This allowed for our candlelight, romantic, yet fun ambience to be felt by all, while still getting great coverage of the ceremony and reception. She went above and beyond to study our lighting prior to the day to ensure she could shoot us in the best light. Oh, and you HAVE to get the photo booth! It was such a hit at my wedding-- it lossens folks up and gets them in a fun, party state of mind. My guests all commented on how much fun it was and are really enjoying the pictures from the both. I'm a pretty harsh critic, and I have to say that you can't go wrong with Lovestruck. You worry about a lot of things coming up to the wedding-- don't let his be one-- hire Lovestruck and let them do their thing! No bride intervention needed! I could not be happier!

natural looking, elegant and fun! Katie really made our wedding day-she held my lipsticks and found replacement boutineer's for my husband during the entire reception. We also were able to design beautiful photo albums that look like they are out of Town and Country magazine and are super personalized. Lovestruck really made our wedding super special!

re about helping us figure out how to handle the photography, from advising on where to do our engagement photos, wedding day pictures, and how the logistics would work. She was just super helpful, and really nice about it. On the wedding day; of course it rained, she not only had a back-up plan for where we could take photo's, but had umbrellas for the whole bridal party! During the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once, and really did get photo's of everyone that attended. The photo booth was her idea, and it was such a hit with our guests. On top of all that, the photo's came out great, and we are overall so happy we went with her!

endly, thorough and a great addition to our wedding day. The pictures, also, are just lovely. I'd hire them again, and recommend them to a friend. We also had a photo booth, and the pics from that are priceless :-)

as great and so easy to work with even before we met her. We had originally scheduled our session for late March, but when I got a bad haircut I contacted Katie to reschedule. Katie was extremely flexible and I just contacted her after I had some time for my hair to grow out. On the day of the shoot Katie made us feel very comfortable and we got great pictures all over Old Town. She didn't even hold us to the hour that the deal provided, so we were able to get all of the pictures we wanted. We got access to our gallery about a week after the shoot even with the power outages. Katie did a great job editing and retouched the pictures beautifully. Overall, we could not be happier with our pictures or the service we received. We definitely recommend Lovestruck Images and Katie.

D she was careful about staying within our budget. On our wedding day, Katie arrived ahead of schedule and stayed past the scheduled end time (which was very important since I am a very “type A” bride). My guests loved her as well! I received many compliments throughout the night on her easy going personality and her ability to find those unique shots. After some of our wedding photos were posted online, the most common comment we received from friends and family was – “wow, that could be in a magazine!” She captured our day in a way that we could have only dreamed of!! We would highly recommend Katie!! Thanks, Pamela & Eric

here for me as my photographer but also as my right hand woman. Anything I needed, Katie was there to help! My guests loved her too! So many said that she was so sweet and they were so amazed about how many pictures she was taking. I seriously don't even remember seeing her around us, but she was there and we have the most beautiful pictures to prove it! We loved our wedding photos, she captured our day in a way that we only dreamed of. I got married at The Lighthouse Sound near Ocean City, MD and the next day we all headed down to the boardwalk for some playful and fun photos which she suggested and we are so thrilled we went because those photos are fabulous! We would recommend Katie with Lovestruck to any and all who are in search of a photographer who is highly professional, a pleasure to work with and has an eye for those special photo opportunities! Thanks, Beth and Jeremy

r immediate family at the courthouse. I spoke with Katie at Lovestruck, described what I wanted to achieve and she was completely understanding and accommodating. She met me before the wedding to show me some of Lovestruck’s work, calm my bride’s nerves and reassure me that no matter what happened, or how “stiff in front of a camera” my family was, that Lovestruck would be able to get the shots I wanted. We knew the weather would not be perfect, we knew it would be cold but we thought that at least it would be dry… well, on our day it stormed like crazy! I had been told that they shoot in all weather except for heavy rainfall, and that’s what I had on my big day… heavy rainfall. Our Lovestruck photographer not only provided a calming presence, but throughout the horrible weather she kept shooting, disregarding the rain and simply saying, “I hope nothing happens to my camera.” I had planned an entire photo session around town since our ceremony was so short and we weren’t having a reception, which made the opportunities for candid shots a little slimmer. Needless to say that whole plan went right out the window, but our photographer made some great suggestions, was open to changes in the plan and got great shots anyway! I’ve got some lovely portraits and a lot of beautiful candids and I am super excited about getting it all put together in the album I’ve ordered. I will definitely be going back to Lovestruck when it comes time for future family portraits and have already referred a colleague to them for her daughter’s big day. I recommend them to any modern bride who wants beautiful photos of her big day with all my heart!!! Love Lovestruck!!!!!

date so we got the pleasure of working with Stacey (she runs the Labor of Love side of the company) and my husband and I absolutely loved her! She took amazing pictures and made sure we were having fun through the whole process. She even put the camera down and danced with us at the reception :) Even though we didn't get to work with Katie on our wedding day, I get to talk to her about getting our prints/books done. She is just as wonderful as Stacey, responding to every email I send immediately and making sure we are completely happy. I LOVE THEM!

g and the engagement session. The Lovestruck photographers listen to what their customers want and provide that, plus more. From posed shots to candids, they use their creative eyes to capture simply beautiful photographs that are unmatched. For the final products of printed photos and the albums, their results are beautiful. They do a great job of editing and touching up photos to capture the beauty and mood of each one. They then combine the photos into albums that match the individual personalty of each couple. The photographers are a joy to work with. They have fun and friendly attitudes. And they work in an unobtrusive way, never stopping the action or trying to be the center of attention. In sum, Lovestuck captured our big day with beautiful photos in an easy-to-work with way. We could not have been happier with our photographers.

y photographing our engagement session and wedding but also with getting to know my husband and I. They were very personable and took the time to really learn who we are as individuals and as a couple....and this showed through in our photos! Stacey was our photographer and we had a blast with her. She captured our engagement session and wedding even better then we could have imagined. Katie put together all of our albums and was so amazing to work with! Thank you lovestruck for helping make our day so special and memorable. We recommend Lovestruck 110%

natural' shots. We highly recommend Lovestruck to anyone getting married either in the DC or any area (she was able to travel to PA for our wedding)

pics to you in a timely manner! I am seriously so happy that we went with her for our wedding. It was worth every penny!! I absolutley recommend Lovestruck Images!

of fun poses with parasols. Can't wait to see how they turned out!!!

the unique and were mostly able to handle the super difficult lighting at our church!! We got our photos within 6 weeks and loved them all.

et, and delivered exactly what I asked for. I received many compliments - not only on the photographs - but also on the photographers themselves, who did a fabulous job of keeping everyone focused while we got through the portraits. They were efficient but fun, and had the bridal party laughing a lot. The pictures came out great. I highly recommend Lovestruck Images!
