Testimonials

Katie F.

I cannot express how smitten we were with Kate and her team. They all provided so much attention to detail and care with photographing our big day. Kate has such a calming presence that immediately allowed my husband and me to feel immediately comfortable with her. Oh, yea, and the pictures... absolutely stunning! I cannot recommend Kate enough!

Rebecca R.

Kate made me feel like the bride I've always wanted to be. She took her time during our engagement shoot to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made sure to get every detail and tons of special moments during our wedding. The photos make me weepy and it's clear she cared so deeply about capturing my memories. Plus, she's just generally awesome to be around. I couldn't recommend her more if I tried. She is absolutely, THE BEST.

Andrea H.

Not only is Kate a lovely human, but she is also incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. I was afraid being photographed would feel awkward, but Kate's warm personality and sense of humor made it a lot of fun. We really appreciated how well she gently coached us, while still encouraging us to be ourselves - you can tell from our photos that we were completely comfortable. We're so thankful to Kate for capturing this special moment in our lives so beautifully - we'll treasure our photos forever.

Choosing Kate to be our wedding photographer was probably the best decision we made! I met her when she photographed my friends wedding and I knew immediately that I we had to book her. From the booking process, to engagement photos, to the day of the wedding, she was so easy to work with and so professional. We did our engagement photos on Balboa Island and Kate went above and beyond to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and even spent extra time with us to make sure we got the perfect sunset shots. Leading up to engagement photos, I was nervous, but Kate made it so fun and truly brought out the true essence of us as a couple. We received our sneak peek photos within days and the remaining photos not long after. WAY sooner than I ever expected! When our wedding rolled around a few months later, I was completely at ease since our engagement photos were STUNNING! We went over a detailed list of all the photos I wanted for the day of so I had nothing to worry about. When it was time for the bridal party photos, my husband even commented that it was the easiest wedding photo experience he had ever been a part of! We even got our wedding photo sneak peaks the very next day and they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! So, to sum it up, Kate is incredible and if you have the chance to work with her DO IT!!!! She is the best!
