“Holy moly! I could not have dreamed up better pictures or a better experience for photos! Kate has an impeccable eye for light and captured beautiful scenery... Kate's presence is calm, warm, and open to allow our personalities to reign. It turned into a sweet, flirty, and fun day for my partner and I. She gave just enough direction to set the scene, but allowed us intimate moments to connect and do what we pleased which created more authentic, candid photos. We are truly in awe of how they came out! If you are looking for someone to capture a magical, outdoor wedding, look no further! Kate has mastered capturing natural light and scenery, and her gentle presence and professional approach seals the deal.” - Nadia + Caleb
