"Kate was amazing. More than a photographer, she was our logistical and emotional wedding guide. Our early meetings and engagement shoot gave us a chance to reflect on our relationship, get comfortable being photographed, and sort out our vision of the wedding. On the wedding day, Kate was fun and kind, and a master at herding our scattered relatives into photos. The photos themselves are just dreamy. They're beautiful and meaningful. Thank you, Kate!"

"It was really important to my husband and I that the pictures from our wedding captured not just the look of the big day, but the feeling. I wanted keepsakes that I could look back on to remember every happy moment with friends and family. Kate gave us exactly what we hoped for, and so much more. 

From the first meeting with Kate, we knew she was the right fit for us. Not only is she a brilliant photographer, but she is a wonderful person. The kind of person you want around on your wedding day.

We were both nervous about feeling awkward posing and smiling for pictures. At the engagement shoot Kate had all sorts of tips and tricks to help us relax and capture pictures that really felt like us. By the time the wedding rolled around, we weren't even a little nervous, because we knew Kate would work her magic again. 

On our wedding day Kate was calm and organized and incredibly accommodating. The pictures and memories Kate gave us from that day are so special.

Besides saying, "yes" to my husband when he proposed, Kate was the best wedding decision I made."

"Kate is a very talented photographer, and she is able to create really beautiful, artistic images. We had our wedding at a beautiful outdoorsy venue (a barn) and Kate was able to capture really nicely the unique atmosphere of our wedding. Her candid photos of our friends also turned out really great. On top of it all, she is very laid back and easy to work with. We also appreciated her flexibility in terms of adjusting the start time. She helped us stay organized, by prompting us to create a schedule of photos for the day, without adding any stress to our planning. Overall, she was great to work with and we would wholeheartedly recommend Kate."

“Kate spent the afternoon with us for our anniversary celebration at Langdon Hall; she took photos of our family, including two small children and our dog.

We are extremely pleased with the photos — I think Kate’s photography speaks for itself in terms of the outstanding quality — but it is also great working with Kate, both before, during and after the event.

Kate does a tremendous job from beginning to end: she takes the time to discuss what the plan for the shoot is, but she also comes up with great ideas on the day, to take advantage of the location, modify the plans to accommodate everyone’s needs (particularly the moods/attention spans of the children and the dog). She is able to take fantastic photos while being relaxed, easy-going and patient with everyone. She always makes herself available, both before and after the event to answer questions and make sure that the photos turn out exactly as you want. Her pricing is fair and transparent and she makes the photos available shortly after the event.

I should also mention that Kate does a superb job with the photo books. The final product is such a wonderful keepsake that the whole family keeps coming back to it.

I highly recommend Kate and personally look forward to having Kate take photos of our family again in the future.”
