It was an absolute pleasure having Katie and Jordan shoot our recent wedding. The team at Daydreamer Diaries was communicative and seamless to work with during the entire process and I was stunned by how perfectly our photos came out. My expectations for wedding photography were surpassed in every way.
Katie and Jordan made us feel comfortable and confident on our wedding day and were a welcome presence amongst our family and friends. They captured every moment so perfectly while blending in with our guests during the ceremony and reception.
We received sneak peeks of our wedding photos very quickly along with several rounds of additions before our full album was ready, making it exciting to relive each moment before the full package was delivered. The artistic style of our photos was impeccable and we loved how well the look and feel of our wedding was captured.
We did not have videography services at our wedding, so it was an unexpected and fun touch when Katie sent us videos they took on their phone behind the scenes and during the reception!
I have already recommended Daydreamer Diaries to several of my friends and would book with them again in a heartbeat. My wife and I have been saying that we wish we could have another wedding just so Katie’s team could shoot it!

Working with Daydreamer Diaries was a wonderful experience, both prior to the wedding and day of. Kaitlyn knew exactly how to capture our vision, on both the artistic and technical fronts. Her talent is obvious in the finished product. Additionally, she was a wonderful presence during the wedding - very calming and helpful. When the party got going, she blended in perfectly, catching all the great shots without being intrusive. Sneak peaks arrived promptly too, and she was communicative while we waited for the finished album. We're extremely satisfied with our experience and highly recommend Daydreamer Diaries.
