Sarah was able to direct her with ease and make her look relaxed and natural; which is shocking, seeing as she takes direction about as well as a stray cat. Sarah has a way of making her subjects feel comfortable and relaxed while being photographed. She has both the skill to capture contemporary poses and the creativity to imagine innovative and unique shots. I never imagined wanting to be BFFs with a hired photographer, but I totally do now.

We are blown away by her photos - she has a great eye for capturing the perfect moment. We will cherish her photos our entire lives and without a doubt, we highly recommend her! Katy met with us in person for lunch and you could tell that her passion is capturing these intimate and meaningful moments. She was genuinely interested in getting to know us, asked the right questions, and you could tell that she takes the work seriously, has a great personality and would be a perfect fit as part of our micro wedding party (6 guests and a dog). It was important for us to find someone that we gelled with, because letting someone into our small wedding isn't just another name on a big guest list, it's really someone that's very much a part of our special day. As we explained our ideas for our nontraditional wedding - which was 3 parts long spread out over an entire day - she was not only up for it, but had great suggestions on how we could fine tune our ideas. She was great at checking in with us throughout our planning process, and was happy to answer questions as they came up. Come the day of the wedding, she was understanding that the poor weather would delay the start of the ceremony. She was the first to arrive at our destination, and helped orient the guests and was great at introducing herself and providing tidbits of bird-nerd information as we walked the trails of Smith Rock National Park for 45 minutes. This was great for our guests who had never been to Smith Rock before. She took great photos (both directed and spontaneous). Our experience with her at the park, then at Brasada Ranch, and finally at dinner in Bend was that she had a lot of energy to keep up with the hectic nature of a packed schedule, but also took the time to direct us to slow down for special moments and get us to be our natural selves. She was even able to get great photos of my parents - who are extremely shy and avoidant of cameras! We hope that this review is helpful, and understand that choosing a wedding photographer is a very important step in the process. We felt at ease with Katy, that we could trust her with our special day. It was important to us to choose someone that had a great personality, professionalism, with a lot of creativity and attention to detail. Because we knew Katy has these all, it took a load of stress off our shoulders and allowed us to be more in the moment at our wedding. In the end we were given beautiful and natural photos of us and our wedding party. It's great to have the well composed and poised photos that we had dreamed about, along with photos of those unexpected fleeting moments that may have gone unnoticed if not for someone with a keen eye. We would love to work with Katy again!

It's immediately clear that Katy is a seasoned pro and a warm & delightful person. Before the wedding, Katy took the time to understand our relationship and to make us feel comfortable. She helped us figure out the flow of our wedding day, scouted all the best spots to take photos at the venue with us and built a genuine connection with us. During our wedding, Katy felt like a great friend with a camera AND captured a ton of lovely moments of us, our friends and our family. We loved the candid, genuine photography of our wedding and engagement photos-- it truly felt like Katy captured US and our relationship in the photos. We've gotten loads of compliments from friends and family about the quality of the photos and how many special moments she captured from our wedding day. Her photos are incredible, we loved how she focused on having a meaningful personal connection with us both and her logistics were top notch. I'd highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

Briana was a pleasure to work with, and she made a point to get to know us. Generously, Briana included an engagement shoot with the package as well as complimentary gifts and prints before and even after the wedding. And despite being based in Portland, she made the roughly 3 hour trip up to Seattle for our engagement shoot and wedding. Throughout the process, we were constantly impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness. At the start, Briana clearly outlined a roadmap for the months and days leading up to the wedding. And despite how hectic the day of our wedding was, Briana kindly kept us on track while photographing us and our families in various locations around Seattle. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Briana for any engagement shoot and wedding photography needs!
