Kate is beyond amazing. The whole experience working with her was incredible. She took the time to meet my husband and I before our wedding which was a great opportunity to get to know one another. Her communication throughout the process was also always on point and she made us feel so comfortable with her. Besides the fantastic service that we received, the pictures were better than we could have ever imagined. I was left speechless by the album that she quickly sent over after our wedding. She is a true artist and leader in her industry. Her eye from capturing the moment, all the emotions and beauty on your wedding day, is extremely impressive. She completely understood the bohemian, rustic style that I was going for. I received SO many compliments on our photos and were even picked for a few local magazines features because of how amazing they are. I could not recommend Kate more to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much again, Kate!

We worked with Kate for our mountain elopement and it was a dream! We first met Kate at a coffee shop while we were still considering various photographers. The interaction felt so easy with Kate! In addition to the ease, we loved how she explained her style and we left that coffee shop knowing she’d be the “one”. Leading up to our elopement Kate was communicative and accessible. Day of she arrived early and even scouted some amazing spots we had NO idea existed. Kate had an amazing balance of a soft presence while also being direct when needed. Following our wedding we received a sneak peak within a week and the full album about a month after. Her artistry captured so many gems! We continue to receive so many compliments! We highly recommend working with Kate. We are SO happy we got to work with her.

I loved working with Kate!! I have worked with her several times now and she has managed to capture my vision every time :) she is great at directing everyone and didn’t miss a beat the entire day of the wedding - from the time she arrived to the second she left she was firing on all cylinders! We are so grateful to have these pictures to remind us of our favorite day. I already have some future photo shoots in mind and know who I am going to call !

Wedding photos are essentially the only tangible artifacts you have after your big day, so when you hire a photographer, you are trusting them to capture your day in a way that will forever remind you of its magic and joy. Kate and Taylor did this and more. I was in tears when we received our sneak-peek photos because not only are they whimsical, magical, joyful, and romantic, but they are authentic, and they are us. They are not flat, still, moments in time, but rather, snapshots that tell a story, bringing to life the joy we experienced with our friends and family on our special day. When you look at our photos, the deep love that we have for each other, coupled with our excitement to spend forever together, is truly palpable.Kate was recommended to me by one of my closest friends, and I could not be more grateful for the recommendation! After postponing a year due to COVID, my husband and I finally had our big day in Sayulita, Mexico. My husband doesn’t particularly like taking photos, but you would never know this when you look at our pictures because the two of them did such an amazing job of making us feel comfortable, and creating this incredible balance of giving us direction while letting us be our silly selves.Kate and Taylor are not only incredibly professional and talented, but they are real, and so much fun! I adored working with them, and cannot recommend them enough. There are so many moments in our lives that are worth capturing. So if you have any moment, big or small that you want to remember, look no further than Kate and Taylor, because whatever it is, I can promise you that they will tell your story creatively and beautifully for you to remember and enjoy forever.

Kate shot both our engagement photos (Boulder, CO) and our destination elopement (Iceland) and I can't say enough fantastic things about both experiences. From start to finish, Kate was very communicative, easy to work with, accommodating, and did a great job of coaching us to get the perfect shots. Her aesthetic is what wedding photo dreams are made from - a beautiful, earthy, naturally lit work of art. She truly has a gift. Bonus points for getting my husband to not hate getting his photo taken all day and letting our sweet dog, Hank, join our engagement shoot! :)

It was a privilege to be photographed by Kate. Her and Taylor made our elopement so fun, easy and memorable, there isn’t enough praise I could give them. Not only is Kate a skilled photographer, she is insanely creative, and really cares about your experience, and will take the time to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. Her and Taylor went off for a few hours before our elopement, they chose beautiful, powerful spots for us to be shot, and gave us space to have our moment alone while we said our vows while still getting gorgeous photos. You will not regret choosing to work with Kate, she will be the best decision you make about your wedding, I promise you.

We  traveled from Pennsylvania to Colorado for our small wedding, and came  across Kate’s website while searching for photographers.  Her style was  exactly what we were looking for, and fell in love immediately.  Kate was so incredibly helpful with planning locations and timelines.   Since we’re from Pittsburgh, there is only so much we could research  about great spots for photos.  She made suggestions and took us to some  amazing places.  Honestly, we were pretty nervous for the photo session - we are  awkward/stiff in front of ANY camera.  But she was so warm and friendly  from the start, and super helpful in directing us, that it actually felt  pretty natural!  When we got the photos back, all we could say is WOW!  Every single  photo is absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with how they  turned out.  Kate is such an incredibly talented photographer in every  way, and we are beyond thankful to have found her.

Wow! Kate is truly incredible. Kate is an amazing human who is so passionate about her talents in photography. Prior to hiring Kate as our photographer, my husband and I were both so shy & intimidated by the camera. But, just 5 minutes into our engagement shoot with Kate, our guards were down & we knew we hired the right person. On our wedding day, Kate captured every special moment, glance, kiss & feeling without us ever having to strike a “pose”. Throughout the night, she thrived from the chemistry between my new husband and I. Her ‘up for anything’ mentality provided us with some amazing scenic backdrops, even if that meant she had to lie completely on the ground to get the shot. Kate was also so quick to respond when going through our planning process. She provided great input that helped guide us to planning the day of our dreams! Thank you Kate, for everything. We can’t wait to hire you again in the future!
