Derek was always responsive and prompt in our interactions, and on the day of the shoot, Derek was so much more than I expected. He was friendly, professional, and kind, which made me feel comfortable as I was very nervous. The final results were breathtaking, and I couldn't believe it was me in the pictures.

It's hard not to say something along the lines of "there's no words to describe how happy we are…read morewith Kate", and it seems like that's a common theme in her reviews - which should tell you something GREAT! Our Experience: To start, let's just say that even if Kate did not produce a single photo, we would have been thrilled with the day's experience, and just hanging out with her on our big day! We decided to book Kate for an adventure elopement, shooting from sunrise in Cook's meadow, until we watched the sun dip below the horizon at Sentinel dome. Despite how surreal eloping in Yosemite's grandeur was, Kate was there to position us, get us in the right spots and lighting, all in a way that felt completely natural. Kate didn't just take stereotypical wedding portraits, she captured every moment, silly, intimate, and spectacular, blending photography with storytelling. There are moments we didn't even realize she was there to capture - slinging her cameras at the ready (literally like John Wayne drawing his 6-shooters from the hip LOL)! For a couple with very few photos besides selfies, she made us look like pros, and most importantly, made it organic and fun. The Facts: Its easy for anyone to take a good photo in Yosemite. We saw several other wedding shoots during the day - trying to cram through tourists, and take the same photos as hundreds of other couples before them have. If that sounds good, DON'T book Kate. Kate provided a deep connection to Yosemite that only someone who literally grew up in the park could ever claim. Despite the full day shoot, she kept us on a plan to maximize every location, without feeling rushed. We booked Kate almost a year out. From the start, her communication was top level, helping us make decisions, plan, and remain calm! Every photo in our album is unique, not just a bunch of mediocre edits. We requested a few photos so we could print them for our family party a month later, and Kate found time to deliver our entire album! Kate didn't just take photos, she captured memories and moments that we'll be able to revlive when we look back at our magical day. When we are old and grey and our memories fade, we'll have these memories preserved because of Kate, and we're beyond grateful for that! There really are "no words to describe how happy we are with Kate", but if you are considering a Yosemite adventure, our two words are most indefinitely - " BOOK HER!"

Having Kate as our wedding day photographer was an absolute dream. We got married in Yosemite in…read moreApril and spent three hours the morning of the wedding getting pictures all over the valley and then Kate came back that afternoon for our ceremony. It was wonderful having someone know all of the good picture spots in the valley so we didn't have to worry about where to go or in what order to take any of the pictures. On top of that, Kate was the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding day - down to earth, relaxed, calm, and friendly. We aren't ones to ever get professional pictures done, but she made us feel relaxed in front of the camera and we truly had an enjoyable wedding morning with her. She rolled with it when we had already sent our rings off with the best man and she had to get pictures of them after the ceremony, and she was even the designated professional veil manager :). We have seen a few sneak peeks of our wedding photos so far and they are STUNNING. She perfectly captures the style we wanted, with a focus on the beauty of the Yosemite Valley while somehow still managing to capture the love my now husband and I share. If you're looking for someone who knows Yosemite like the back of her hand, someone who will be a calming presence on the biggest day of your life, and someone able to produce some epic pictures that will last a lifetime, Kate is your person!

We had three separate photo shoots, and each one was unique and stunning. First, he joined us on the mountain for a snowboarding session--spending two hours capturing us completely in our element with the most breathtaking mountain backdrops. Then on the morning of our wedding, he met us at sunrise for an offsite shoot across multiple scenic locations. Those photos turned out absolutely magical. And on the day of the wedding, he flawlessly captured every important moment--from beautiful candid shots to portraits of us and our guests. Not only is he extremely talented, but he's also just a genuinely great person--chill, personable, and such a calming presence to have around on a busy and emotional day. We're so grateful for everything he did to help us remember this time forever. Highly, highly recommend!

We usually don't take many photos together and were a little worried things might feel awkward, but she guided us the whole way and made us feel completely comfortable.

After our ceremony we did a short hike to get some sunset photos, and she kept us on time and moving while still capturing lovely shots.
