Preface: Katie is shortlisted as a wedding photographer for our venue. We didn't do engagement…read moreshots since we live in SoCal. (We negotiated the inclusion of a photo album in lieu of the engagement session.) My husband previously worked in Hollywood and after reviewing the websites of other shortlisted, he really liked Katie's understanding of lighting. As my fiancé and I planned our wedding, we agreed our contracts with vendors would be much more than meeting our needs. We wanted to have a good rapport with each one and our interaction to be an encouragement. Sure, our wedding could be "just another job" for them -- but we'd intentionally invest time, energy and of course, funds in their work. When we reached out to Katherine, she established a great professional first impression: congratulating us (before we got carried away with planning details) and communicating in a personable and timely manner. We scheduled a few conference calls due to distance. Katie presented herself well and answered our open-ended questions candidly, putting us at ease fairly quickly. By the time we met in-person on the day of the wedding, we were comfortable with her and her behind-the-camera instruction. Her tone was relaxing, so it was more like advice than direction. :D She and her assistant wonderfully managed our family who waited for group photos; we got through the list more quickly than I expected. Although my husband and I got married during peak wedding season, Katie got online proofs to us in a reasonable period (and as stated in the contract). Newlywed life gets pretty busy, so we waited to finalize the images in our album. The timing of the delivery was a pleasant surprise -- coinciding with our six month anniversary and Christmas.

When my husband and I first reached out to Katie on her availability for our 2020 wedding, we were…read moreparticularly drawn to her candid shots and ability to capture the life, emotions and movement of the event and people. When we spoke with her, we instantly felt at ease. Her prices are extremely reasonable. She was flexible with her packages and happy to adapt them to our needs. Hiring Katie was a no-brainer. Katie is everything you would want in a wedding photographer and more. Because we had to reschedule our original 2020 wedding due to the pandemic, we had the opportunity to work with Katie three times - our engagement shoot, our intimate 2020 wedding and our 2021 wedding celebration. My husband and I are both a bit shy and awkward in front of the camera, but Katie effortlessly talked us through each pose as she clicked her camera. Although I generally do not enjoy taking a ton of photos, the sessions never felt like work, but hanging out with a (very professional) friend who happened to be taking our photos. At both our weddings, she was so patient with all our family members who we wanted to be included in the photos. With her calming presence and get it done attitude, Katie is the perfect balance. WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS. Katie is MAGIC. After receiving photos from every session, we couldn't believe how good she made us and everything around us look. A note about the pandemic - Katie was so kind and understanding when we had to reschedule our original 2020 wedding. Although this was presumably one of the hardest years for wedding vendors, Katie handled all the changes with so much grace, which made this challenging year of wedding planning so much less stressful for us. For our 2021 wedding celebration, Katie was familiar with our venue and she wasted no time taking us to all the picture perfect spots. My husband and I had Katie by our side almost the entire night (except for when Katie was taking shots of our guests, the venue, etc.) We felt like we didn't just have our photographer with us, but a friend guiding and supporting us through the night. There were a few last minute changes that needed to be made due to factors not under anyone's control (e.g. weather). During one or two moments when it was visibly hard for me to make a decision, Katie gently but confidently gave her advice, which always turned out to be spot-on. To this day, I am certain that there are other details that Katie pitched in to help with, enabling the event to run smoothly, that we will never know. Katie is a professional through and through. Throughout the two years we worked with her, she was always responsive and organized. The online system she uses for payment and information sharing (e.g. questionnaire before the wedding) was so user friendly. Although this may not seem like a big deal, it really is when you're working with a variety of vendors and trying to keep track of all your wedding details. In case it's not obvious by now, my husband and I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend Katie. We're so excited to set up future family photo shoots with Katie!

From our initial meeting (prompt, professional, comfortable and informative) to our engagement session, to our engagement session, and wedding, she's a class act. She gets all the pictures you want, and catches so many more precious moments that you didn't know were even happening around you. She leaves no stone unturned and is easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, she fits into the scene seamlessly, and you hardly notice she's there clicking away. For the perfect pictures, wedding, family, engagement, etc. book Kristy!

Katelyn is super kind, very patient with our (funny Groomsmen), and made sure that anyone getting there picture taken was comfortable and had fun most importantly. We enjoyed working with Katelyn for our engagement shoot in Carmel, she helped pick out all the spots and we used so many of those pictures for our wedding day. On the day she helped with the flow of a massive venue making sure my husband didn't run into us. We didn't want to do a first look so we were able to do our family photos, bridal/groom portraits, bridal party shots done before the ceremony. She picked great spots at the venue and they all turned out so beautifully. I can't wait to see the entire gallery but the many teaser shots she sent right away are stunning. I enjoyed receiving them back so soon so I can share with family and for our thank you cards. She helped coordinate the flow of our large families for pictures after to make sure we got enough time for our pictures before sunset. Would highly recommend booking and we are excited to book again for any future photoshoots.

Katelyn really helped my venue get it together and took charge in all of the right ways to help our wedding day go smoothly. She was fun, helped encourage us to pose when it's not something incredibly natural for us. Our guests all loved her, dog and baby included! She sent our sneak peaks over the next morning and we have rights to all of our pictures. As you can see, she is a very talented photographer, our photos are gorgeous and I cannot wait to see the rest! I could not recommend her more and could not thank her enough for all of her hard work that really helped us to make our day.

I needed ONE engagement photo for my engagement party. See, my parents threw a last minute party…read morefor my fiancé and me and told me they needed a photo less than 2 weeks before the party. I work out with Meghan and she came to my rescue, assuring me that she would get me one photo. Meghan was very professional. I told her that I wanted to do a shoot in the library and she went ahead of time to check it out for us. When we showed up, she was ready to rock, which was great because I had no idea what else to do. I was nervous because my fiancé doesn't really like taking photos, but Meghan was so nice and sweet. He began to feel very comfortable and starting having fun. We ended up having so much fun with Meghan and ended up taking tons of silly and great photos. When she gave me my proofs (the NEXT DAY!), I was very pleased with our shots. I ended up printing 3 (I couldn't pick just one) for the engagement party and many others for my own house. My pictures are gorgeous and Meghan captured our silly love for each other perfectly. I would definitely recommend Meghan for anyone who needs photos taken! She rocks!

I need to let you all know about our AMAZING photographer Meghan! Our engagement shoot on Sunday…read morewas above and beyond anything we could have anticipated and it was solely because of Meghan's amazing eye and direction. We love each other, yes. It shows sometimes in public (lol). But Meghan brought out the best in us and had ideas for shots that I never saw coming but I'm IN LOVE WITH. She only gave us some quick sneak peeks (they're not edited yet and she wants to show us the perfect final product!) but I can't WAIT to get them back! If you're even "kind of" considering Meghan as your wedding photographer, I highly suggest shooting her an email for prices. She's in the Sacramento area but she also travels!! Check out some of her portfolio work-it honestly speaks for itself. Can't wait to see her at our wedding!!

We've been working with Hailey since April 2022 and when I say that this is one of the best…read moreinvestments my family has made, I sincerely mean it. Not only is Hailey an incredible human - she instantly felt like a friend - she also has this gift of capturing ordinary moments. And that's what we love about her work. Additionally, she has this ease about her. And works SO well with kids! Our older son - who was 2 1/2 the first time we worked with Hailey - is autistic and at that age we had a hard time being in open spaces with him (he would often run away, doesn't always look at the camera, etc.). Hailey rolled with this and it felt immediately like she had known Theo his whole life. She made us - and him - feel comfortable and she's now one of his favorite people. Hailey has been part of our lives since my wife's second pregnancy, and whether it was for a 30 minute mini session, an hour-long family shoot at home, or an extended family session in my parent's backyard, Hailey always, always captures the moments with ease. Would recommend Hailey to any family or couple looking to establish a relationship with someone who can help capture their memories throughout life.

We are not a touchy…read morefeely couple and don't often take photos together but knew we needed a photographer for our wedding. I fell in love with Hailey's true-to-color style and booked her for our engagement shoot and wedding after our initial chat. She struck the perfect balance between knowing when to pose us versus capturing things as they were happening. I've been in weddings where the photographer made the couple repeat the same thing multiple times where it just felt forced and unnatural so I'm very happy that's something she did not do. Her experience also speaks for itself - she insisted on extra time for our portraits against the advice of our planners and due to some setbacks during the day we needed and used all of the time she carved out. She also made my bridesmaids feel so comfortable, at the end of the wedding they all said she felt like a part of our friend group and are sad we don't live in the same city so we can hang out again. She also had previews ready just over 12 hours after she left our wedding and delivered our full gallery in less than a month, timing that is truly unheard of in the wedding industry. I would highly recommend Hailey to anyone. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and her photos are absolutely stunning.

She is incredibly professional and kept us updated and on-track before, during, and after the wedding. I am definitely not the stereotypical bride so it was incredibly helpful to have Jessica not only taking breathtakingly beautiful pictures of our wedding but also helping us along with the timing and flow of the wedding. She was also very accommodating and worked with us even though our wedding and ceremony were outside of Sacramento- we paid a little extra for time/gas but the end product- our beautiful bound wedding photo book is one of my most cherished possessions! We are so immensely pleased with Jessica's work and are planning on hiring her for a re-commitment ceremony in the near future. I honestly cannot encourage you enough to hire her for any of your photography needs!!!!

I wish we could get married every week just to be able to work with Nate & Jessi! From start to…read morefinish, we have been truly grateful to have found them! We met Nate and Jessi at a Wedding Expo (that we weren't even going to attend, might I add) and from the moment we saw their work we knew they would be one of our top choices. They did a giveaway at the event that we won and we just knew it was meant to be. Immediately, we scheduled a coffee meeting, and as soon as we walked out of the coffee shop, we knew that Nate & Jessi just HAD to be there to capture our wedding. Planning a wedding can be stressful - trying to coordinate vendors, create timelines and be communicative with all who are involved just to name a few. Nate and Jessi truly set themselves apart from other photographers by being involved and willing to share their knowledge with us. From offering sample timelines based on the information I was giving them, reaching out to schedule phone calls/when to check in with them, and even just offering tips & tricks to make planning a little smoother, they made it so easy to work with them. That's when we decided to throw a curve ball at them, we had to cancel the big wedding and decided to elope! A year early, complete change of course and about a month to plan and they made it happen. They went the extra mile for us, they showed up early and scouted out a beach spot and some picture locations. We didn't get the chance to do an engagement shoot and they still made us feel so comfortable taking our pre-ceremony photos. They shot our small ceremony, with about 20 friends and family in attendance and even made it to dinner with us for some more casual shots afterwards. We got married on 8/24/18, a Friday evening, and by Monday morning I had an email with what to look forward to. We were guaranteed a certain timeline and amount of pictures to expect, and I think from that point forward, I checked my email about once an hour every day waiting for a sneak peak of pictures to come. We only had to wait a couple weeks(WOW!!) and for ALL of our photos to arrive. Seriously, we knew they were amazing but they truly blew us away. Our photos were more than we ever could have expected. Our sunset, Lake Tahoe elopement was captured so beautifully behind their lenses. Now, our only problem is that there are TOO MANY good photos to choose from. Nate and Jessi truly met and exceeded all of our expectations, they weren't just our photographers but new friends.

My wife & I met Nate & Jess at a wedding expo last January (2016). After walking the entire expo,…read morethe quality of Nate & Jess' wedding albums stood out over everyone else. After chatting with them for a few minutes we scheduled a meeting for the following day. Nate & Jess had a package that fit both our budget and needs and we hired them on the spot. What a decision! We couldn't have asked for better photographers or people to capture all of the special moments during our journey. They are professional, dependable, and personable. Nate & Jess were extremely easy to work with and made us feel comfortable during the photo shoots, especially on our wedding day. They focus on all the little details, which really make ordinary things extra special. For example they were kind enough to send us a very thoughtful wedding present, which from our perspective they didn't have to do. They were extremely punctual, always responding to emails, phone calls or texts in a timely manner. One of the things we appreciate the most is their willingness to go the extra mile. Whether it was meeting us in person to give us our album and portrait or attending the church rehearsal on a Friday night, they took time out of their busy schedules to accommodate us. What truly amazes us is that they do all of this for their clients, while juggling work and their personal lives. We recently received our wedding album and portrait and they look great. We have already received many compliments from visiting family and friends. After seeing the final product we really appreciate all the time it took to go through and edit the thousands of pictures taken to perfection. We would definitely use Nate & Jess again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent photographers.
