- Zac & Amber
We had a meeting with her to start and she answered all of our questions and was ready with information for us right away. For our wedding she was professional, efficient, helped keep me relaxed, and was such a joy to have as part of our day. She truly captured the day between beautiful emotional photos of my husband and I, to feeling like we are back on the dance floor with the bright and fun reception photos. We had multiple people complimenting how great our photographer was. We truly were so lucky to have found her.
"Finding Katie was the best thing that happened to us!"

I’d been dreaming of having Katie photograph my wedding for years, and she truly exceeded every expectation. Her photos are soft, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful—they perfectly capture each moment with such genuine emotion. When you're looking for a photographer, you want to feel comfortable and confident, and Katie made that so easy from the very start. She has an incredible gift for turning real-life memories into art, and I feel so lucky to have had her behind the camera on such a special day.

She is so much more than a wedding photographer too--she crafted a wedding day timeline for us and made everything so stress free. She thinks of everything! I would recommend her to anyone!
