Parenthesis Photography

Kathleen did an amazing job with our wedding photography. She really captured the spirit of the day and her candid photography style was exactly what we wanted!

Working with Kathleen was wonderful! My husband and I do NOT take serious pictures well together, we either need to be a little goofy or we look staged and fake. Kathleen made it SUPER easy to do our pictures and they came out fantastic! She captured us, not a staged version of us! The candids of family and friends also perfectly captured just how much fun everyone had at the wedding! I would recommend her to anyone who asked, we had such a great time! (Also she was super flexible with all the covid date switching which hopefully no one else will ever need to experience!)

I hired Kathleen for a unique project - make a wedding video for us using home videos made by our friends and family 1 year prior! I had no idea what to expect, but since she is one of the most creative people I have ever met, she certainly did not disappoint! She created something so beautiful, poignant, and unique. It was more than what we could have ever imagined! On top of all this, she is so easy to work with, prompt, kind, funny, and thoughtful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 100x OVER!

Kathleen was a superb photographer for our 200 person wedding in august of 2019. We had two major goals for our big day: 1) make sure we eat 2) be present and take it all in Kathleens work process allowed us to really make it a day of celebration and to focus of being there with each other and with our guests. She suggested we do family portraits before the ceremony to get them out of the way which I really liked and never would have thought of. She’s super chill and has an amazing artistic eye that really spoke to us. She was able to capture the genuine mood of the day so well. I immediately recommend her to anyone I know who gets engaged. Don’t hesitate! hire parenthesis!

Kathleen is such a joy. When my partner's twin sister and her partner got engaged, we decided we wanted to try to treat them to some professional engagement photos so they would have something lovely to look back on! I found Kathleen on instagram and after briefly looking over her profile I knew she would be the perfect photographer for them; her work is so beautiful and authentic that I thought nobody else would be able to capture them the way she could. I was right! This was by far the best gift I've ever given. Not only did the photos turn out incredibly well ( D + A were so thrilled!! It is entirely unclear when we will stop being gifted these photos of them on holidays!!), but Kathleen was such a treat to work with. She made our photo-shy family feel comfortable and relaxed. She was willing to work with us on our budget and location and was genuinely excited about doing this session as a gift. She even made a little gift box we could give D + A when we told them about their shoot. I genuinely believe Kathleen is the best of the best. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

After Covid-19 made it stateside, my wedding plans began to unravel. My venue shut down indefinitely, the catering company handling could not perform under the lockdown protocol, etc. And eventually, the idea of having 250+ people in one room seemed unimaginable. Yet, through three cancellations, and eventual vendor switch-ups, I KNEW I needed Kathleen at my wedding. We decided on a smaller wedding in our backyard. Kathleen’s unique type of candid photography is perfect for home weddings. She photographed our wedding outfits in our bedroom, our first look in my garden, and many shots of my dog 🥰 and guests. She captured color, light, and warmth; but she also captured emotions and moments. After our wedding, her correspondence what professional and quick. She deleveloped and laid out a beautiful red velvet album with her favorite shots. Of all of the decisions I made for my wedding, choosing Parenthesis Photography was by far the best. Looking at her photos is better than watching a video. I feel them in my soul. She is a professional and she is a wonderful friend.

Choosing to work with Parenthesis Photography was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. I was in love with Kathleen’s work as soon as I came across her website and I dreamt about the photographs she would take for over a year leading up to the wedding. When they finally arrived in our inbox – much faster than we had expected them to – we were completely blown away. Kathleen is an incredibly talented photographer who captures weddings through an astonishingly intimate and thoughtful lens. I find new beauty in the pictures she took at our wedding every time I look at them. Her focus on candid photography tells such a distinct story of the day that it almost feels as if I’m watching it on film. She is a master of stealth and even at our wedding of 30 people we barely noticed as she captured us from every angle. The fact that our couple’s portrait sessions are some of my favorite memories from our wedding day is a testament to how comfortable she made us feel. During that time, it felt more like an escape for just the two of us to spend time together than it did a portrait session. She directed us when she needed to while still letting us just enjoy being together. I knew we had made the right decision hiring Kathleen well before our wedding day. From our initial phone conversation, to frantically replanning/downsizing due to COVID, all the way through to shooting in the middle of a pandemic Kathleen was warm, understanding and professional through it all. Perhaps more important than any of that was the ways she showed us she was truly invested in us and our experience working with her. When she sent over her proposal, I discovered it had been completely customized just for us with each package named to reference something I had told her about our backstory as a couple. It was the little, thoughtful details like this one that made working with her that much more special. Kathleen’s communication throughout the planning process was excellent. She is lightning fast at responding to emails and was always happy to answer even the smallest/silliest of questions. She takes it a step further with a welcome packet that is full of thoughtful and honest information about planning your wedding day. Its advice extended far beyond photography and I referenced it many, many times throughout the planning process. Ultimately, we ended up having to scale our 200-person wedding down to 30 changing our date and our venue due to COVID. Kathleen was incredibly supportive and patient throughout this process as our plans were in limbo and changed several times over the months leading up to the wedding. With all of this Kathleen built a relationship with us that was founded on trust and on the wedding day that trust was more valuable than all the talent in the world, which she also has! Thank you, Kathleen, for everything you did to make our experience so wonderful.

Kathleen is the BEST wedding photographer! She was able to capture our wedding perfectly! We honestly couldn't be any happier. She was more than just a photographer to us. She helped us with amazing vendor recommendations. And a few months before the wedding she sent us this customized wedding day of planner to help us have every detail down so there was nothing missed and nothing to think about! The day of she was a dream to work with! So professional but chill, makes you feel really relaxed and happy in the pictures. After the wedding she helped us design a stunning album that we are going to cherish forever! Honestly one of the luckiest and smartest things we did for the wedding was book Kathleen! You would be considered lucky to have her!

I waited anxiously after sending a note to pitch myself and my fiance to Kathleen (because she was by far my favorite prospective photographer), but didn't have wait long because she called me the next day. I spilled my guts about our vision and she seemed to completely understand. She followed up with more information by email - Parenthesis's whole online system was very intuitive and seamless- she gets it. That set the tone for the next year of working together. Kathleen was on top of every detail, she was kind, she captured family moments that make me tear up just thinking of them. And she worked her butt off covering our 160 person wedding. We love all of our photos, they are exactly what I imagined when I first reached out way back in 2017. We are so grateful for Kathleen's expertise, which helped our day run so smoothly.

Kathleen was amazing! I wasn't a huge fan of wedding planning and then it got more complicated because of COVID and she made everything so easy and not stressful. My wedding ended up being completely different that what we had discussed but she was able to work with me and my fiance to adjust to how we were going to have to do things. Cannot recommend enough!

Kathleen was a delight to work with. My favorite thing about working with her was her quick response times. As the wedding drew near, her responses were more and more immediate. This is so appreciated in the crunch time of the wedding. When vendors take a long time to respond, it's just one more thing on your to-do list that needs following up on. Kathleen is very aware of the small details like this throughout all aspects of her work. She is incredibly thorough, and provides tons of helpful information upfront should you want it. Plus, she's nice as heck! Did I mention that we contacted her only 5 weeks before our wedding date? Kathleen didn't flinch in helping us, and was very flexible with our short timeline where we often didn't have answers with as much lead time as she'd normally suggest. Thank you!!!

Kathleen recently photographed engagement pictures for us, and we had the best experience! From the time we got in contact with her about booking her for the engagement pictures and our wedding, she was so helpful and responsive. She was willing to accommodate our requests, like shooting our crazy dog at a new location. She also sent us a detailed guide about her process with all the information we'd need. The day of the engagement shoot, she showed up with a blanket in case we got cold, and made us feel so at ease. People kept telling us we'd have to struggle through our engagement pictures, but that wasn't our experience at all. We had so much fun. After the shoot, she gave us a couple sneak peeks of pictures through social media, then got us our full gallery so quickly. We love all of the pictures! From the classic posed photos, the candid pictures, to the pictures of the little details from the day. They're all amazing. We're so excited to have her capture our wedding day!

When I first spoke with Kathleen, I knew that I had nothing to worry about from that point on. Contact with the never ending wedding vendors was so exhausting and repetitive, but with Kathleen, it was like talking with an old friend..which was so refreshing. She was sweet, funny, and really wanted to know and understand us as a couple. I especially appreciated her fast response whenever it was needed. The minute she walked through the door on the morning of our wedding she got straight to work and didn't miss a beat until it was time to leave. Attention to detail, an eye for cute and quirky candid moments, and overall positive energy were exactly what we wanted, and she absolutely delivered it all. If you're looking for amazing professional photos by an equally amazing person, Kathleen is your girl! My husband and I are in love with all of our photographs and will no doubt be recommending Parenthesis Photography to our friends and family.

Kathleen was an absolute treat to work with for our engagement photos! Not only was she professional and timely with her emails (and patient with us when we didn't respond as quickly), but she helped us find a great location to do the shoot based on what we had imagined. She really made us feel comfortable during the photo session and allowed us to relax and be ourselves, which really shows in the resulting photos. We were gifted this photo shoot by our family, but they did such an excellent job finding the right photographer for us. We would HIGHLY recommend Kathleen and Parenthesis Photography to anyone! - Danna and Alexis

Photography was extremely important to me and my husband. It was the third vendor we booked after our venue and catering. With all the money that would end up going into the wedding we knew we were willing to apportion a good amount of the budget toward photography so we would be better able to look back on the day after the fact. We discovered Kathleen between wedding websites and Instagram and there is no one else like her. We were instantly OBSESSED with her style. She captures an organic magic that most wedding photographers miss. We reached out to her immediately hoping she wasn’t already booked because we didn’t know if we would find another photographer we’d like half as much as her. She fortunately wasn’t so we booked her instantly. She is so professional while managing to be so easy to talk to. She gave us a personally curated photo workbook to better prepare for the day of the wedding including times of day to take photos, what kind of photos we wanted, etc. It was an amazing guide as to what to expect and how to get the best photos from the day. Every step of the way she worked with us on how to achieve everything we wanted in our wedding photography. She also has an AMAZING vendor recommendation list she provided us and we got at least half of our vendors from it. A few months before the wedding she sent us the most in-depth questionnaire I have ever seen. It not only included a timeline of who was going to be photographed where at what time, but questions about our relations to everyone in the photos as well as our personalities and what parts of the wedding were important to us to capture. We were already so happy with the examples of her work but the questionnaire really showed how seriously she takes what she does and put us so at ease. The day of the wedding she was ready to go before I was. She scouted out the area we wanted and chose her favorite places and angles to shoot. Even when we started running late for family portraits (our fault not hers) she stayed calm and strategically used every minute rounding up the next group while the current one got into place. She captured the whole day seamlessly. Our guests loved her and even approached her to take photos of them throughout the day. She was so good at blending into the crowd and candidly capturing moments that we didn’t even notice she was there half of the time. She went out of her way to follow up with us the next day and even thanked us! She truly is the best and we can’t wait to see our photos. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. She is in a class of her own when it comes to wedding photography.

I'm not married yet so I have not had the pleasure of hiring Kathleen as a wedding photographer, but I have gotten the chance of working beside her as a photo/video team! We shoot weddings full time and out of the 50+ photographers we work with yearly, Kathleen is the first I feel warrants a review. From the moment we showed up and introduced ourselves, Kathleen (and her second shooter) made it clear that we would be working as a team. Throughout the entire day, they communicated with us and respected our shots as much as their own. This resulted in the most laidback day ever for our clients and for us! I would work with Parenthesis Photography every wedding if I could!

Working with Parenthesis Photography was a dream! We looked at a number of photographers in our search, but Parenthesis' portfolio impressed us. We loved how the shots managed to be candid, yet artfully composed. However, what really cinched the decision for us was our introductory phone call with Kathleen. She made us feel so at ease, it felt like we were talking to a good friend. My wife (then fiancee) and I have always felt un-photogenic and uncomfortable in front of a camera, and so we knew we had to go with this person with whom we felt comfortable. Throughout the process Kathleen was very kind, thoughtful and polite. Most of the time, we hardly knew she was taking pictures of us and when it was time for portraits, we never felt like we were posing. Both before and after the ceremony, all communication with her was great. When she sent us our photos we couldn't have been happier. She clearly worked very hard on our wedding and capturing our best moments. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone to not document their special day, but create works of art you can treasure for the rest of your lives. We are so glad we went with such a professional and wonderful person.

It's hard to describe how lucky I feel to have stumbled onto Parenthesis Photography shortly after getting engaged & she was easily the best investment we made in planning our wedding. I immediately was drawn to the raw, creative & joyful photos featured on her social media account, and after a brief conversation via e-mail & over the phone, I was positive I was making the right choice. Her communication from day one was seamless. Her response time was ridiculously quick & she helped me navigate everything leading up to & during the wedding with incredible professionalism. When it came time for the big day, Mike & I had so much fun taking our photos with Kathleen. We aren't camera shy, but I always feel a bit awkward taking photos & Kathleen kept the entire process as quick & light-hearted. She clearly knew what she was doing in utilizing our venue in creative ways (including trecking into the woods!) and coming up with unique photo opportunities in the moment. We received our entire album within weeks after the wedding & there are no words to explain how much we love them except to say they perfectly capture US. Nothing; not one felt cookie cutter (even the few posed family photos we took had character!) . Everything felt organic, honest & really showed the love in the space that night. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my life.

Kathleen is an amazing person and photographer! She flew to India (!) for our wedding and was flexible, creative, kind, and friendly. She found the perfect balance of getting the right photographs and also hanging back to let us enjoy the day and getting gorgeous candid shots. Looking at our photos bring us so much happiness and joy--we will treasure them always. She is so incredibly talented and we are just thrilled she was there for our special day. We cannot recommend her enough! You can't find a better photographer and human out there! Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately!

Kathleen was super personable and fun to work with, we love her unique style and perspective. Our photos came out so dreamy and perfect and she’s great at getting you to relax in front of the camera, which can be hard for me! She also captured so many great candid moments of our day which were a lot of fun to look at.

Kathleen was a joy to work with from day one! She is open, welcoming, funny... and lightning fast with her correspondence. We chose her based on her impressive portfolio, but the value of working with her goes well beyond her eye. Never intrusive, always thoughtful and creative, Kathleen was 100% the right choice for us. She didn't even know she captured inside jokes and secrets not yet revealed, but that is just a credit to her intuition and keen sense for noticing quiet moments. Working with Kathleen was one of the earliest and best choices we made in planning our wedding, and we could not have been happier!

Kathleen was the best investment we made in the whole wedding process, without a doubt. Photography was very important to both my husband and I and we wanted someone with a creative documentary style. We started off with an engagement pictures where Kathleen meet us in our local Brooklyn neighborhood. My fiance and I were both nervous about the process as we don’t consider ourselves particularly photogenic, but Kathleen was great. She directed us naturally and it flew by. Kathleen also magically got some amazing photos of our spazzy dog! The engagement session was incredibly useful on the wedding day, as we could jump easily into post-ceremony photoshoot with confidence. Kathleen is organized, detail-oriented, prompt, professional, and friendly. She answered all of my millions of questions before and after the wedding, including early morning emails day of. She gave us a helpful wedding photo timeline, and then adjusted it days before the wedding as our needs/people changed. She handled family and friends with great tact and firm grace. She’s a pro at capturing that candid moment but also directs portraits with a wonderful creative eye. She was a pleasure to work with, and I was happy to have her positive energy with me on my wedding day. The day of the wedding, Kathleen was an awesome ninja photographer. She calmed me down when rain changed our pre-ceremony plans and instead we did a great impromptu photo-shoot with my mother. Kathleen directed our very large wedding party and family into portraits with a tight timeline. Kathleen also has such a unique eye. We got so many great photos that really show the essence of our family and friends. And the pictures of us are so perfect- the emotion, the movement! As the bride, when I look at the wedding photos I get to see so many moments that I missed- kids playing in a corner, family catching up, great dance moves, devoured cupcakes. My husband and I truly could not be any happier with Kathleen’s work, and our family and friends have all complimented us on the photos. The photos are phenomenal, and they represent the day and our wedding, and us, beautifully.

Kathleen is a remarkable photographer and artist. You simply have to trust that you are booking a photographer who is completely extraordinary. She captures moments you didn't even know were happening. When you look through your wedding photos (and there are hundreds to look through), you will get to relive the most beautiful and joyous moments of this incredible day. She is organized, perceptive and so easy to work with. You plan each detail with her ahead of time, and she creates a photography timeline for portraits. Then you just leave the rest to her. I don't know how she was able to capture so many details, especially of our ceremony. It was as if there were three of her, because she didn't miss a thing. Her style is romantic and warm, like looking at stills from a movie, rather than posed wedding pictures. Also, she knows how to work with all of your family members and friends, and knows how get the best pictures out of each of them, and how to make use of the time well. I can't say enough good things about her. Do not hesititate to book her.

Kathleen was wonderful to work with. She is seriously a wedding photography ninja. We mainly communicated through email and she was so quick to respond, every time! The day of the wedding I was unexpectedly super stressed and also not feeling well and Kathleen just did her thing. I didn't worry about the photos for a second. She captured so many candid moments. It's amazing, when I look through all of the photos I really feel like I am reliving the day again. I'm so happy with the way the photos turned out. It's hard to pick favorites, so many gems. Her photos really all work together to tell a story. If you are looking for artistic, romantic, genuine wedding photos that help you relive your day forever you should hire Kathleen!

From booking all the way to the wedding and all of the conversations in between Kathleen was incredible! She is so responsive with communications which is huge when juggling a million things while planning a wedding. We never had the pleasure of meeting Kathleen prior to our wedding day, but even so, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, like we were old friends. Never once did we feel "staged" or set up. Kathleen would find an amazing location, and then somehow, with her quiet, sweet photo magic, make us feel like it was just the two of us and we weren't in front of a camera. Our wedding day came along with some hiccups and stressful moments, but Kathleen was always there, so kind and calm, to bring us back to the moment and remind us of why we were there, to celebrate. Booking Kathleen was one of the best decision we made for our wedding and I can't thank her enough for making our day one we will never forget. We know the photos are going to be amazing, joyful, personal and perfect, and we can't wait to see them! Thank you Kathleen, you're the bomb!

It was absolutely amazing to work with Kathleen from beginning to end! She is so attentive, funny, helpful, and reassuring. She understood who we were as a couple without ever having met us in person and truly made the whole wedding planning experience run so much smoother. It was so wonderful to be able to have total confidence in our photographer and not have to worry about a thing. She captured so many moments perfectly throughout the day that we loved,especially the candid moments. She's a sneaky one, which is exactly what we needed. I would recommend Kathleen to literally anyone and everyone, I will shout it from the rooftops if I have to. Thank you Kathleen!

5/5!!! Kathleen exceeded all of our expectations! Our wedding album blew us away. Kathleen does an outstanding job of creating a documentary of your love story through her ability to capture what other photographers may overlook. Her focus is always on the couple and she has no problem shooting posed shots, but where she excels is shooting candids. These shots, which we asked to be the majority of our album, truly capture the essence of who we are as a couple! The raw and unadulterated emotion she draws out of every photo will allow us to relive the best day of our lives for so many years to come. Communication - timely & thorough - never felt like we were just another number to her Pricing - slightly above average but so, so worth it Consultation - made a genuine effort to get to know us as individuals and as a couple - this truly came through in the final product Professionalism - very straightforward with contract and pricing, no surprises. Very attentive to details but with a laid back demeanor. Made us feel calm and natural. Delivery of photos electronically was seamless, really easy to share on social media. We had Kathleen, solo, for 8 hours on our wedding day. We did not do an engagement shoot, but wish we did!

Kathleen photographed our September wedding, and she was a total dream to work with from start to finish. We wanted something more candid and creative for our photos, and my friend recommended we check out her stuff. It was love at first Instagram perusal. She has an incredible, cinematic eye, and an ability to capture real moments unlike any other wedding photographer I've come across. I got in touch via email, and we ended up having the nicest phone conversation - it was like talking to an old friend. I felt instantly at ease, and knew that this was somebody who would "get" us. Leading up to the wedding, Kathleen was completely on top of all her prep - she sent us her questionnaire and additional info in a super timely manner, and was always quick to respond to emails. And at the wedding, she was a boss-- scouting out the coolest hidden photo locations (a magical overturned giant tree stump? yes please), swapping between cameras like lightning, and maintaining that delightful rapport of hers to keep us feeling comfortable. And during the ceremony/reception, I genuinely forgot she was there! She was like a wedding ninja. We've seen a sneak preview of our photos, and it's exactly what we were hoping for - beautiful, creative, and totally us. I can't wait to see the rest! Cannot recommend Kathleen highly enough. One million stars.

Professional. Attentive. Supportive. Brilliant. Distinctive. Kathleen, you were such a pleasure to work with. The photo gallery was just incredible. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for creating such a beautiful wedding album. We will treasure it forever! Karla & Craig 5.19.18

What a GEM. Not only are Kathleen's photos beautiful, she was such a delight to be around all day. Her presence is calming and she's got a GREAT sense of humor. We felt so grateful that she was there with us to document everything. Okay. The photos: Kathleen totally captured the day. Looking through her photos from that day, we were completely able to relive everything. The traditional portraits were great, but what meant so much to us were all the candids she got of us, our family, and our friends. It's not often you're in a room of 200 people you love and the joy on everyone's faces really shines through. As art, these photos totally stand on their own. Weddings aren't boring so your photos shouldn't be either! We were blown away by Kathleen's work. From her portfolio it's clear she's super talented - our photos were above and beyond what we had expected. Do not pass Kathleen up. She is great in every way! Jane & Oliver

We first chose Kathleen because we loved her candid style of photography. Then we got to meet and work with her, which was such a treat! We did our engagement shoot in downtown Bethel and it was a blast! Plus we got to eat pizza and we got to experience a lot of different scenery for our photos. For example, we went into a bookstore, coffee shop, record store, and the green. The photos really emphasized our love and how much fun we had. Absolutely recommend Parenthesis Photography!

We can't stop looking at our pictures! I don't think we could have hired a better photographer. Every picture is raw and emotional, and every time we look back, we can feel the same way that we were feeling in that exact moment. Documentary photography is the way to go, and there's no better documentary wedding photographer than Kathleen. She makes all the little details pop out, and captured things and moments that I didn't even notice myself at the wedding. And her customer service is amazing, she made us feel very special. Honestly, thank you!!

Working with Kathleen was a dream and choosing her to document our wedding day this June was one of THE best decisions we could have made. Her style is unique, thoughtful and even playful, sometimes giving off a vintage feel. She captures all the family portraits and "the basics" you would look for but nothing about her portfolio is "cookie-cutter" or commercialized. She manages to capture the authentic and unplanned, like when you're sharing a genuine moment with someone or being completely ridiculous/letting loose - these are the moments you will want to remember! She is able to do this because she moves through the crowd like a whisper and you soon forget she is there. While we had never met before our wedding day, I felt so comfortable working with Kathleen because she was there every step of the way helping us plan beforehand. She worked out numerous drafts of our timeline and helped us determine the best schedule for first-looks, sunset portraits, etc so that we got the most coverage possible. And I kid you not, this woman will respond to you with lightning speed and such thoughtful detail on legitimately ANY detail you bring up. After the wedding, she will continue to follow up with you and provide everything as promised and on-time. We splurged and decided to have Kathleen make our flush mount album as well. It was well worth it. The quality of these prints and the thoughtful design work she puts into it make it a piece you will truly cherish forever. I cannot emphasize enough what a joy it was working with Kathleen. She offers the perfect blend of personal support and professional demeanor and the images she delivers will help you relive your wedding day again and again. Thank you Kathleen for all of your amazing work - we are so grateful!

Kathleen is amazing, everyone should book her! You’re getting a deal, her talent is truly priceless. Her ability to make you feel beautiful and comfortable as well as just plain cool is unparalleled.

Kathleen is the absolute best. Yes, she captured the most gloriously stunning photos, and she documented moments that were raw, meaningful, lovely, and real. And we will treasure our photos truly forever. But the reasons we adore her are mostly how steady, calm, and thoughtful she was from the moment we met to the day of the wedding and all the days since. That has been such a gift. Plus, she’s just a delightful human being. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Organising a wedding from Australia was an interesting and challenging experience but Kathleen helped put us at ease from the very first Skype conversation. We loved her relaxed candid style and it reflected what we wanted for our wedding. She was an absolute pleasure to work with - her organisation, professionalism and commitment to our big day was outstanding and we can't recommend her highly enough. Knowing she was on board and so organised helped us relax knowing she would get the shots we wanted and we weren't disappointed when we received the final images. Kathleen really captured the spirit of the day and her little touches and things she noticed have made our photos so special - we can feel as if we are back there when we look at them! Even though she didn't see our locations in person beforehand she was so quick to find the places that worked best and you can trust her to find that perfect spot. Bonus - she is a foodie like we are and recommended our caterer who turned out to be fantastic!

My fiance and I were really on the fence about taking engagement photos, but we are super happy we did! Not only are our photos wonderfully "us", Kathleen was the ideal vendor to work with. She was excellent with communication, planning, and went above and beyond to accommodate for our shoot ideas and concerns. We just got our full gallery (super quick!) and we are in love. We hired Kathleen for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot wait to work with her again on our big day, I am certain we will not be disappointed!

Kathleen was fabulous to work with. We were planning our wedding in CT from Wyoming which presented a few challenges. Luckily, Kathleen made this process super easy and we felt very comfortable with her even before meeting up in person. On the day of our wedding Kathleen was a true professional. She was able to capture all of the important moments without being overly visible. The turnaround time for editing was very quick. I've heard horror stories from friends who have not received their photos over 6 months after their wedding. We received the digital files within 1 month! If you're looking for artistic but not overly processed photos that really show the emotion of your day, Kathleen and Parenthesis Photography should be your choice!

Kathleen is just a gem. From the moment she -- excitedly and swiftly -- responded to my initial request, to her openness to craft a session that was right for us, she was simply the best. I reached out to her early on to craft a slightly different "engagement" shoot -- a photo shoot with my mom, as a surprise gift to her before the wedding. Kathleen took it and ran with it! She made us feel so at home, so heard and seen, and the end result was a collection of photos my mom and I will treasure for years to come. I beamed from ear to ear as I looked through the photos; she really captured something special (and she delivered them beyond quickly!). I feel so grateful to have found her. I can't recommend Kathleen enough!

Kathleen is incredible. We met through a mutual friend and after a nice sit-down over coffee we knew she was the one we wanted. The engagement shoot was gorgeous and only boosted our confidence in choosing her. Working with her during the wedding was a joy. We loved her artistic choices and, best of all, it was fun. We have seen the final product and could not be happier. Just truly gorgeous.

1,000% would recommend. Our wedding photos are amazing, capturing our wedding day in such an artistic, authentic way. We get to relive our day from a new perspective, all the hidden moments we didn't get to see, as well as photos with such emotion and light. Kathleen is like a friendly therapist and photography ninja in one. She was a calm presence through some pre-ceremony jitters, rolled with last minute changes, tactfully directed our large wedding party through portraits, and did some amazing acrobatics to get all sorts of angles through the ceremony and dancing. Kathleen is professional, prompt, reliable, detail oriented, and friendly. She answered a million emails in the year before the wedding. She provided guidance and support, like a wedding day photo timeline and advice on doing an unplugged ceremony (which was a great choice!). She is very knowledgeable and a great resource for brides. I also highly recommend doing engagement photos with Kathleen. It made our wedding day so much easier, and we were able to get some great outdoor post ceremony photos on the streets of Brooklyn. She directs people with a firm grace that makes everything flow. Even for people like us who feel like we are always awkward and non-photogenic, Kathleen can direct you into a great photo and capture those little moments where you relax. I feel like these photos really show us and who we are. Couldn't be happier with Kathleen and these photos that evoke all my memories of my wedding day!

Working with Kathleen was an absolute pleasure! Right from the beginning, she listened to what was important to us. Any questions we had, she answered right away. She helped up set up the photography schedule and made sure she got each requested photo. Wedding days have enough anxiety producing moments - throughout the entire evening, first look until the end of the night, Kathleen made us feel relaxed and at ease. Kathleen completed our photo gallery in only a short couple of weeks - I am impressed by the quick turn around time AND the fantastic photos. Her photos capture people’s personalities and the emotions of the day. Like many couples, my wife and I have very different personalities; Kathleen captured both our individual personalities as well as us as a couple. Additionally, she has the unique ability of capturing the vibe, the energy, of the evening in a static photo. Could not have picked a better wedding photographer - highly recommend!

Working with Kathleen from Parenthesis Photography was a completely mind-blowing experience. She is incredibly talented, professional, creative, and energetic. From the very first phone call, she made us feel like we were her only clients and was accommodating, punctual, and enthusiastic. She made us feel comfortable before/during/after the photo shoot and the end results knocked us off our feet. She gave us photos we will treasure for a lifetime and she's worth every single penny (and more!). I could not recommend her more highly.

My husband and I got married on September 23rd, and our whole wedding was put together in 3 months. Kathleen was so responsive to all of our questions and has gotten everything done so quickly! We were not going to do engagement photos originally, but she encouraged us. We told her we love alpacas and she found an alpaca farm and arranged a shoot for us- the photos were so fun and it was great practice for us! On the day of she showed up for everything on time, was super helpful, listened to all of our requests and had lots of ideas of her own as well. The best thing was that she was not pushy at all: She tells you to just do what you'd normally do and that you don't have to pose. Of course, she was happy to accommodate with any family and friend portraits that we wanted, and they came out beautiful as well. The wedding photos are everything that I hoped they would be. She truly captured the best parts of the day and then some. My biggest concern with wedding photography in general was the worry that we would look unnatural and posed. These are so natural and everyone just looks like themselves! Her documentary, journalistic style was perfect for us. The photos are unique and beautiful, looking through them has made us all laugh, cry, and smile while we are reliving what was a perfect day! Thank you Kathleen :)
