    Absolutely recommend for any photography needs. Reasonable pricing, excellent photos and unbelievable professionalism. An absolutely stellar experience working with this team

    wedding day
    Amanda C.

    Hiring Kate and her team to cover photo and video for our wedding was the ABSOLUTE BEST vendor decision we could've made. Weddings are killer expensive as it is... if you're going to be splurging that much on your dream day, you better be splurging on excellent photo and video because they're the only things you'll actually get to hold onto when the big day is over. And let me tell you - Kate and her team are the BEST at what they do. 10 out of 10 would splurge again. Truly don't think you can find someone better in the industry. We were blessed enough to have Kate herself do most of the coverage for our wedding and she is the perfect mixture of professionalism and goofball. She was such a pro when it came to lighting, angles, and positioning, but she also kept the mood light and fun all day long. She hyped us up through every moment and made us feel like total rockstars on our special day - hehe. If you want a hilarious, artistic, visionary, talented badass boss babe, KATE IS IT. We also had Kate do our engagement shoot and I swear no one could get over how beautifully our engagement photos came out. Everyone said it looked like we belonged in a magazine. For our engagement, we did a partial "normal" shoot, and partial boudoir. If you're wanting to go the boudoir route, Kate is amazing and will make you feel totally safe, sexy, and empowered. Is she the perfect package?? YES. Kate sent her associate AJ to cover our wedding rehearsal dinner and he was wonderful! He was a total sweetheart, took beautiful photos, and was overall perfect in every area. We were so happy with how our rehearsal photos came out. All of our videography coverage was by Markus, and he smashed it out of the park with the most stunning video captures of our day. Choosing to include video coverage was SUCH a good call because there were sooo many parts of our day that just looked different on video vs photo. Markus and Kate were so patient with us as we went through multiple rounds of feedback and edits to our wedding highlight video, making sure it was absolutely perfect. Markus even made a special video of our first dance for us with the footage he captured, even though we requested it after the wedding already happened (pro tip - if you know you're going to want a special video of any specific part of your event, ask for it in advance lol). We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're lucky enough to get to work with Kate and her team, you won't regret it.

    I am absolutely in love with Kate and her team. I've done two shoots with Kate and both had results far beyond my dreams; one was a boudoir shoot and the other was my wedding. When it comes to wedding photography, you don't want any reason to stress. Kate and her team are experts and there's absolutely no reason to be worried, they've got everything handled! Beyond that, the day of the wedding is stressful! Kate being there with me, being energetic, uplifting, and encouraging meant more to me than almost anything else. I don't have enough wonderful things to say about them all!

    Our photographer, Kate, was absolutely phenomenal. Of course she able to capture amazing pictures, but most importantly, she created a safe space for my new husband and I. It can be daunting trying to find an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer in Ohio of all places, but Kate was absolutely the best. She got to know us during a short engagement session, so by the day of the wedding we already felt like best friends. You can really tell she cares about creating a positive, loving environment for her clients. She also went above and beyond with taking the time to learn our family members' names, communicating with other vendors, and even helped us put on our boutonnieres! If we had a million more weddings together, I would choose Kate to photograph it every time - she is absolutely brilliant. Kate - we are eternally grateful for your services, and we are so honored to have picked you, and your artistic expression, to capture the memories of our wedding day.

    We were lucky to have Kate & her team photograph both our engagement & wedding. Kate was organized, creative, friendly & effortless throughout the whole process. She made everyone feel welcomed and appreciated throughout our entire wedding. I can't imagine our celebration without her. Her final images were pure art - thank you Kate for everything!

    There aren't enough words to describe Kate and her team. She made me feel confident in my body during the whole process. She made me and my husband feel so good on our wedding day. The photos are simply insanely gorgeous, I can't get enough compliments on them. Kate is loyal, sweet and honestly, the best photographer I have ever had. If you are looking for someone who is super communicative, will work with you and be flexible and make you laugh along the way, Kate is your wonderwoman!

    If you're reading this review, stop what you're doing and book Kate. Seriously. Kate shot both our engagement photos and our micro wedding. My husband is an introvert and was really nervous about having his photo taken, but Kate totally put him at ease. She is warm, funny, and personable - but also amazingly good at wrangling our scatterbrained family members into priceless photos. And the photos - oh my goodness the photos! Kate creates worlds of luxury and love in her photos. She plays with light and color in ways that just make these pictures pop. We have gotten SO many compliments on our photos! She also was so kind and helpful during the whole mess that was pandemic wedding planning - rescheduling our big reception with her was easy. In short - Kate is fabulous!!

    Kate was our lead photographer for our wedding day and much more, and we cannot rave about her enough. We first met Kate in Dolores Park to have a photoshoot with our pup, who is not always the calmest or easiest to work with. She was, to put it simply, delightful. My partner and I are not naturals in front of the camera, and she made us feel so at ease with her humor and kindness. We laughed so much, had a blast, and captured some of my favorite photos I have ever taken both with my partner and our dog. The shoot set the tone perfectly for the wedding. Kate then photographed both 2 hours of our welcome event as well as a full 12 hours of our wedding day. She was so kind and encouraging the entire time, and we are blown away by the pictures we received. 12 hours is a LONG time to be with a set of strangers, and Kate's incredibly lovely demeanor did not change from the moment she arrived. I wish I could have her near me whenever I take a picture, because she brings out the best in her subjects. We feel beyond grateful that it was really the best day of our lives, and that we have so much of the joy captured thanks to Kate. I cannot recommend her or her incredibly photography skills enough.

    With COVID continuing to linger, we decided to err on the side of safety and cancel plans for a large event. I'm eternally grateful to Kate for capturing our last minute City Hall elopement & Lands end session in such a magical way. We chose Kate because I had seen her capture some epic shots for a friends wedding I was in. I wanted someone who we could trust and vibe with on the big day. The photos speak for themselves, but the behind the scenes stuff really deserves a shoutout too. Kate has an uncanny ability to read people's energy and then provide the right amount of direction to produce these dramatically beautiful shots. Plus, she left me educated with practical tips like what to do with awkward hands & how to tilt your chin & where to gaze. If you're trying to decide on a photographer, just go with Kate. You won't regret it! Months later, we're still getting comments from friends & family about how impressed they are. The only issue we have now is it's impossible to pick a favorite photo :) Thank you, Kate!!

    I was looking for a photographer to shoot our family photos just before Christmas time and boy did she deliver! I was looking for a photographer who was professional with great energy yet responsive and attentive. Kate is all this and so much more. Professionalism: Kate's been in the business for over 10 years and her attention-to-detail coupled with her artistic vision is evident in her work. She was responsive via whatever medium you contact her through. I used IG, email, and text to communicate with her. Personality: All over her website it was apparent that she just loved loving on people and lovin on people is my jam. I wanted a photographer who was passionate about his/her work and overall had a great vibe. Just like all the reviews I read, Kate is all that and so much more! Our "poses" weren't forced, they felt natural to us and our pictures truly captured our personality. Final Product: The slideshow reveal was definitely worth the wait. I love how Kate captured my vision for the shoot and was able to bring that to fruition. Loved the lighting and the landscape and how she found a perfect mix of candid and "posed" photos. Overall: She was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end and I very much look forward to having her capture our family as we continue to grow. We love and adore you, Kate! Thank you so much for everything!

    Kate did our wedding back in January and it was absolutely stellar! The wedding itself was wonderful but she did a killer job capturing every magical moment. We had a huge wedding party, a multifaceted venue, and a whole lot of personality yet she didn't miss a beat. On top of being a talented photographer, Kate is also super cool and so much fun which makes planning and execution so much easier. She got along with all the guests, found the couples to photograph together, and made for a set of photos that didn't feel like your typical stuffy affair. My wife and I couldn't recommend her enough.

His demeanor is calming, his artful eye catches the best details, and he is beyond respectful. Obviously when you are having photos taken in such a vulnerable manner one can doubt oneself....but not with Brian as the photographer! I can honestly say when I look at my photos I am proud of being a woman and cannot believe that is me in those photos. I am so happy that I have them for years to come as I age and change. It's only been a year and I find that when I'm down I'll pull the book out and reflect on how beautiful they are and how pleased I am that I found the confidence to take them. Speaking for my husband who arranged the photoshoot.....THANK YOU!!! As a side note I find it important to say that I left this experience with a true friend. Brian's heart is as big as the talent he possesses.

    Crystal shot the photos for my wedding, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with her work…read more Seriously, she took the best pictures of me that I have ever seen. Can she just follow me around and take pics of me everyday? The girl works magic. I originally sought out Crystal because she is a founding member and photography editor for the Fair Event Vendors Alliance, which connects the LGBTQ community with Louisville and Southern Indiana area wedding and event professionals and champions their equality and fair treatment. While I'm not LGBTQ, this is still very important to me. I'm so happy this is important to Crystal too. A friend of mine also recommended her and said that she is sensitive to making sure photos are all natural and flattering. Sounds like I would be in good hands. We met in person to talk about the wedding shortly after I reached out, and I felt comfortable with her almost immediately. She was also easily reachable and quick to respond when I had questions. And then the big day came. Crystal first met us at the salon and was with us for 10 hours that day. I felt like she always had control of the situation -- especially when posing us all for photos -- but she also did not take over the entire scene, as I have seen other photographers do at weddings. She was working hard the entire time and always professional. And like my friend said, she took photos that were very flattering. I told her my arms are not my fave feature, and she helped me pose and stand so they were minimized. Other faves about working with Crystal: * Her prices were very reasonable, which I can confirm after talking to friends and seeing what they spent on pics. * She delivered the photos about two months after the wedding, which seems to be standard. And we got ALL of the pics. Plus we get to download them and use them as we see fit (giving her credit on social media, of course). * And just to reiterate, we had her for 10 hours at three different locations. And her pics! Again, they turned out so well. Both the posed and action shots were beautiful. Looking through them, I feel like she got all the important parts of the wedding -- and then some. I missed seeing some of my friends' moves on the dance floor. Now they are committed to history, thanks to Crystal. The venue also looked stunning in her photos. After stressing so much about the decorations, I admit I didn't get to take it in as much as I would have liked on the actual day. Now I get to see and truly appreciate how beautiful it was. I very much hope I get another chance to work with Crystal. Her pics will line our walls and social media feeds for the rest of my and my husband's lives.

    Crystal photographed my best friend's wedding in October, 2020. She was professional, super…read morefriendly, and great at blending into the background while working her magic. She sat near my fiancé and I at dinner and happily shared suggestions on spots she loves for wedding pictures within the venue I'm marrying at in my own upcoming wedding. Highly recommend.
