WOW -- I can't begin to express what an awesome time we had doing family photographs with Katherine. At first i was hesitant because my family is high-energy but hard to wrestle down to sit still and grab a photo. :) We've been wanting to do this for years but never found the right time, person and place. I can honestly say Katherine brought that all together and created a very memorable experience for us. We live out of state, but I would honestly consider hiring and flying Katherine out for any of my photo needs moving forward! Her communication, technology and contractual processes were top-notch. You will not regret having her for your next photographed event!! read more

Katherine was absolutely amazing! You can tell how much she loves what she does, and that passion shines through in her work. She has such a vibrant, happy personality that immediately puts you at ease, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The posed photos are absolutely beautiful, but what really stood out to us were her candid shots. She has an incredible eye for capturing genuine emotion and all of the little moments happening throughout the day. Looking through our photos, you can see the joy, excitement, laughter, and love that everyone was feeling, and it is so special to be able to relive those moments through her photos. I also love how Katherine utilizes natural light. Her photos have such a bright, beautiful, and effortless quality that we absolutely love. If you're thinking about choosing Katherine as your photographer, DO IT! You will not regret it. We are so grateful to have had her capture such special memories from our wedding day! read more

Karherine did my wedding 4 years ago and was amazing. I was thinking about booking one of her minis and realized I never left a review! Eek! Even 4 years later, Katherine stands out as the most personable and professional person we worked with on our big day. Not only were the photos wonderful, but she was so wonderfully communicative and worked so well with all of our guests. I highly recommend her services! read more

Katherine took senior photos for me and 4 of my friends and we had the best time with her! She made the experience so fun and comfortable, not to mention the photos turned out amazing. Katherine brings such fun energy and makes you feel confident in front of the camera. My friends and I are so thankful for these photos and will cherish them forever! read more

We are leaving a poor review because we felt that as consumers, the owner of the company was more interested in profit than doing what was right. I am willing to post the entire email conversation to let people make up their own mind but long story short. We originally hired this photographer to do 2 hours of pre-wedding pictures of the bride and bridal party getting ready and then two hours at the reception. We never hired her to take pictures at the actual wedding ceremony. Now with Covid we had to cancel the ceremony completely (we moved it out a year to do a bigger one year anniversary party). We reached back out to the owner and explained the situation and her reply was I do not split dates and her suggestions were to buy more packages. I understand professionals have costs and time is money but I also understand doing the right thing for the client. This has been a challenging year for everyone. We all know people that have lost their jobs or even lost loved ones. This is a time to do what is right and find ways to make everyone better off. I feel we tried to find that course of action and yet was meet with replies from a small business that I would expect from the DMV or IRS. She gets to keep our deposit and we are left trying to find someone last moment to take pictures of the bridal party getting ready. I know these are first world problems and I should feel lucky we only lost out on our deposit. The one star review is due to the owners absolute unwillingness to find a solution that didn't end up costing us more. I am sure this doesn't reflect on the actual quality of her work as a photographer but as someone that has run small businesses for years, doing what is right and creating a win/win situation has always been my priority. I don't feel this owner feels the same. read more

Where to start.. first of all she is an amazing photographer and if you are looking for someone that uses natural lighting like a boss, she's your girl! She captured my both my ceremonies and shot my engagement shoot. I was blown away by the photos but she was also so patient and fun during the shoot she made it so fun I can't even begin to describe how amazing she was. She truly loves what she does and has a passion for it, and it clearly shows in her work Update: we contacted her again for photos! She just shot my newborn and also did our maternity pictures!! I cannot get enough of her awesome work! She truly is amazing and her patience is a blessing. She did the new born session with both our dogs!! read more

Katherine Beth Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Katherine did an AMAZING job on our engagement and wedding photos! We actually found her through my husband's brother and his wife, whose wedding she photographed in September 2020. Katherine was extremely professional and friendly throughout the entire process, and did everything to keep communication open during COVID. She photographed our engagement shoot; unfortunately she was unavailable to shoot our wedding day, but she had two talented associates Calli and Marli who were both equally as professional and great to work with. Thank you so much again to Katherine and her team for capturing such an incredible time in our lives; she and her team are definitely considered family to us! read more

Katherine is AMAZING. She is polite, sweet, professional and so easy to work with. She gives great direction, takes beautiful photos and has such an eye for incredible images.

I will never be able to remember where I found her but I will ALWAYS be so so thankful I did. read more

Katherine was our wedding photographer last weekend. I have to say, that from the very moment we began communicating almost 7 months ago, she was a TRUE GEM! Katherine is timely, professional, kind, and man can she capture a moment!! This woman went beyond expectations and I am soooo thankful I found her!! We got our sneak peak of the photos from her, and I cried for an hour. They were stunning. I cannot wait to see the rest! If you are considering a photographer....USE HER! She is a TRUE TALENT. Thank you Katherine!! read more

Katherine Beth Photography - Sister photo session with Katherine Beth Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Katherine was the second hire we made. We found her pictures online and liked the way she was able to capture movement and organic moments in her shots, and especially in our venue, which we knew would be low-light and dark during most of the reception. Our pictures turned out beautifully, especially the dancing pictures and pictures during our reception speeches. She knows San Diego and how to capture the light and beauty of its coasts and sunsets. We especially love the moments of laughter, dancing, and other surprise, organic moments which she was able to capture. Katherine is experienced and high energy and encourages everyone - including people and family who may be uncomfortable being photographed -- to get into the headspace for photo sessions. She's patient while also being efficient, and we have over 1,000 edited photos which we love and captured everyone at our wedding in their best light. She is also good when it comes to the "cocktail hour" photo session, and very good at getting big groups of people to move and pose in a way that everyone ends up looking great. Her assistant was also fantastic at plugging into the groomsmen's energy ahead of the wedding, and captured equally beautiful photos while we were getting ready before the wedding and as the second photographer taking pictures during our wedding ceremony and start of the reception. Both Katherine and her assistant were on-time and responsive and worked very well with our other vendors, forming a spectacular team for our big day. I definitely recommend Katherine and her assistant photographer for your big day. read more

Katherine is AMAZING! She is extremely kind and great at what she does. We worked with Katherine for our engagement shoot and wedding. She is so much fun to work with! She made us, our guests, and wedding party feel comfortable in front of the camera. I don't know how she did it but it seemed like she was everywhere throughout the day. She caught so many special moments. We are so in love with our pictures and can't wait to work with her again! read more

We truly enjoyed working with Katherine. Not only is she is a very talented photographer but she had such a great attitude and energy throughout our whole wedding process. From the engagement shoot to the final wedding photo of the day, Katherine really made everything easy and fun. She is a true professional and we really appreciated her. read more

If you are looking for an amazing photographer who is talented, professional, creative, patient, and has a heart of gold...you've found your person!! To say she is the BEST is a huge understatement! We met her while I was pregnant with our son (while on vacation on Maui) and we were delighted to hear that she was a photographer who lived in San Diego. My in-laws live there and we live only a couple hours away in Palm Desert, CA. When we contacted her for our maternity photo shoot we had no idea what to expect and she exceeded our expectations! The photos were extraordinary and stunning. She was so patient, positive, and helped guide us through the entire session to ensure we looked our best. The prints and digital results were perfection. Since that first shoot, she has chronicled the life of our son's first three years of life. She drove to our home for a newborn photo shoot and even created a gift of a surprise heartwarming keepsake video for his 1st birthday that we will cherish forever. We are so thankful to have found her and happy she'll be able to continue documenting special life moments for our family for years to come. In addition to being reasonably priced, her website is easy to navigate and the turnaround of receiving finished photographs is quick! She is professional, kind, very talented, communicative and has fantastic warm energy. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a stellar photographer in Southern California! read more

We got engaged on our vacation in San Diego, we needed a last minute photographer to help capture some memories before we left. Katherine was super accommodating and was able to squeeze us in. She helped us pick the perfect location, posed us and made us laugh for genuine photos! We had a great time and got the photos back in a timely manner even with Christmas and New Years. She was super responsive to texts and emails too! read more

So happy to be the first person of 2017 to write a review! I highly highly highly recommend Katherine Beth to anyone who wants beautiful and amazing photos for whatever special event they want to capture. I've used Katherine for 2 special occasions in my life over the past few years; my (then boyfriend's) 2014 Grad School photo shoot and most recently our Wedding (yay) just a few weeks ago! So happy to have had Katherine be part of such milestones in our life, and I hope to continue having her be our photographer for future special moments as my Husband and I continue to grow. I will continue to rave positive things about Katherine as I believe everyone should choose her and I am happy to say a coworker of mine even hired her for their wedding later this year. Thank you so much Katherine for your hard work and dedication to your craft. I will forever be grateful for you capturing our special day(s)! read more

Katherine was incredible to work with! She made my husband and I feel at such ease. We met at Scripps Pier in La Jolla for our maternity shoot... and it couldn't have worked out any better.

I would recommend Katherine to anyone! She is super positive and really knows how to make you feel relaxed and position you to get the best photos possible. A+! read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing... 5 stars is not enough!! Katherine is a special person, incredibly professional, and a visionary! She made us feel like the most important people in the world, and we feel like we've made a new friend for life. The engagement and wedding photos are works of art, and she was able to capture so many magical moments from the wedding day that we did not even see! Katherine was able to put my wife and I at ease, and her 2nd photographer worked perfectly with her! There were many close-ups and special shots, but the cameras were never in the way. True professionals! We couldn't have wished for anything more!! Katherine- I hope you continue giving these incredible gifts to people for the rest of your life. read more

Katherine did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photography. The engagement session was a great way to get more comfortable in front of the camera and we absolutely loved how the photos turned out. The wedding day ran smoothly and the hours included in our package ended up being the perfect amount for us, but we appreciated that she was able to add on extra time, if needed, for a small fee to give us some extra flexibility. She had great suggestions for sites near our venue in Liberty Station to take our wedding party photos and even did a quick meet-up at the venue to take a look at some options. We love the way she and her second shooter captured our day! Aside from the actual photos themselves, Katherine was fantastic to work with. She was quick to respond to all our questions (and there were many) and really took the time to get to know us personally to best capture our day. She worked with our coordinator to ensure we kept to our timeline and so we wouldn't feel rushed or frazzled while taking photos. Her suggestion to sneak out of our cocktail hour to take a breath and have a few minutes for extra photos before our reception ended up being a great choice for us. She's definitely attended more weddings than we have, so we loved this expert advice! :) Her prices were incredibly reasonable and we will absolutely hire her again for any future photo needs! read more

We had the pleasure of meeting and working with Katherine. She was a true professional I'm my eyes. She was warm, friendly and incredibly patient with my young (non-cooperative) boys.

Katherine is absolutely amazing! She has done our family pictures a few times and totally blows me out of the water with her talent! She listens to what we would like and does great with making sure we are in a great position so we don't end up with any awkward limbs any where haha. I love her patience with my boys as they always love to show off all their cool tricks, you know, the look how I can climb this tree or look how I can swing from this branch type of cool tricks. She has even managed to take some really cool "action" shots of them and their tricks. Because when it comes down to it, that is their true and authentic self. I love the time she takes to get to know us, which in return makes gib fee so much more comfortable and relaxed during the pictures. Her passion shines thru in everything that she does and she is just as sweet and kind. Thank you, Katherine! read more

We have done family photos with Katherine for the past two years and recently did newborn photos with her as well. I have only wonderful things to say about her! She is very easy to communicate with and flexible in terms of scheduling photos. She is so sweet and always gets our now-3-year-old to give the best smiles. She gets the most beautiful shots in a short amount of time and turns pictures around really quickly. I love that her style is very natural, with a good mix of candid and posed pictures. I have gotten so many compliments on our photos over the years and will definitely continue to have her photograph our family in the future. Highly recommend!!! read more

Great Photographer and a wonderful person to work with. My wife and I a little more than a year back had used Katherine Beth Photography to capture our wedding, and we could not be any happier with the decision we made. I would highly recommend Katherine for your event =). read more

Katherine is amazing!!! She not only has the most adorable personality that makes you want to be her best friend but has an amazing eye in photography. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable in the moment and create the best pictures in every case scenario. We used her as our photographer for our wedding recently at Scripps Seaside Forum and I would highly recommend her to anyone for any type of occasion. Thank you Katherine!!!!! read more

I did my research! And what I found, that seems to be rare, was that Katherine Beth does a masterful job of making the ladies look beautiful! Should go without saying, no? We are the most critical of ourselves and we are often the ones planning the day, so it should be rule # 1 that all focus should be on making sure we look good. Strangely, it often isn't the case. Many photographers frame a beautiful shot while the bride is hanging out with a double chin and a crooked smile. Not Katherine Beth! She was creative and made the shoot fun. What a find! I would recommend getting her before she becomes too expensive, haha, because that is surely coming! read more

We had so much fun during our short photoshoot for "just because" occasion. Katherine has a very likeable personality and is very easy to work with. 1 hour flew by so quick as we went through 5 spots with different backgrounds. We got our photos within promised time period and were very happy with the results. I loved how natural and playful the photos looked and she caught all the best aspects of evening sun in our hair and faces so beautifully. I would absolutely recommend Katherine to anyone who values good quality photography. read more

Katherine shot family photos while we were on vacation in San Diego. It was a special photo shoot as it was mine and my husband's 10 year anniversary. We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture this special occasion! The photos turned out so beautiful. Katherine pays such close attention to detail and captures a variety of poses and backgrounds. The only downside to her beautiful photography is the challenge of picking my favorite ones! read more

Katherine was just amazing to work with. I booked her as my wedding photographer and she was awesome. She did such a great job during our engagement session getting my fiancé to loosen up and feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day she was wonderful! She was so professional yet personable! I loved that later on in the reception she pulled my husband and I away for a few minutes to capture some pictures of us talking about the night and getting some one on one time! I definitely use Katherine in the future for any photo needs! read more

I don't know how to begin describing how absolutely blessed and thankful we are that Katherine captured our special day. Aside from her incredible talent in delivering amazing photos, she is such a joy to be around! There were a few moments where I was feeling overwhelmed, and she knew just when to step in or step back. As a bride, this is what makes or breaks your day, and she was so kind and understanding through every moment and emotion. When we received our gallery, there were special moments that she had captured, that I hadn't realized she was standing there for! She is so talented at being there without being intrusive on your moments, and captures them perfectly. Katherine has captured a military homecoming, our wedding, and soon another homecoming, and she will always be my first call when I need photographs! Brides, or just anyone looking to have a special time captured, Katherine is hands-down the best out there. We are in love with every single photo from our day and will cherish them forever.

Katherine is fantastic, very kind and patient! We have a 5 and a 3 year old, hard ages to get them still and looking at the camera when all they want to do is run around at play at this Beautiful Presidio Park .

I love the photos, she was able to capture their souls! still been silly and playful but their genuine selves... It gives me great joy to see these amazing portraits hanging all over my house!! Will do it again next year. Thank you Thank Katherine! read more

She is highly professional, personable, and such a sweetheart! She always has promos going on, so be sure to look her up and just ask her!
