Katie helped make our wedding magical! We were introduced to Katie from a glowing recommendation from a family friend. Looking over her portfolio and website, we liked her photography style and appreciated the transparency of her packages. We met up with her in person at a café to chat and instantly enjoyed her relaxed personality & could tell she was experienced and professional. As we planned our wedding timeline, Katie was communicative and answered any questions or concerns we had. On the big day, she arrived early and met us eagerly at our specific locations for group photos and for the first look. Katie gave us great direction for posing and made us feel very relaxed taking all the photos! Throughout the day, she was present and actively taking wonderful photos but was not intrusive in any way (I've seen photographers at weddings be attention grabbing). Once we got our wedding photos back, we were blown away about how nice they turned out! We are truly grateful to Katie for so masterfully capturing the best day of our lives. If you're looking for a skilled, easy to work with photographer, we highly recommend Katie! Thank you so much, Katie! read more

We have used Katie multiple times for both maternity and family mini sessions. I have recommended her to my sister (and many others) and my sister has used her twice as well too. I would've kept using her for our family photos forever (but she moved, I am so sad!) I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone, she is so kind and makes the kids feel comfortable, poses the adults well, and has such an eye for background and photo composition. I treasure every single sessions photos we've taken with Katie! I love her style so much if I am every in the VA area I would seriously reach out for family photos! read more

My wife and I worked with Katie for our small wedding in Middleburg VA. Katie was THE BEST to work with. Katie arrived early and got started taking photos of the groom and the best man. Katie was able to ease any jitters before the wedding with her easy going and friendly personality. Next she took photos of the bride and the maid of honour before moving onto group photos. Katie captured all the emotions during our wedding ceremony before moving onto family photos and cocktail hour. Throughout the wedding, Katie was able to capture all of the important moments! The best part was how Katie was able to take the cutest photos of the bride, groom and also our golden retriever (who had plenty of energy!) who made an appearance for part of the evening. Those photos turned out great! (& even made our Christmas cards!) Katie took excellent photos. The photos came out crystal clear and were very high quality. Would highly recommend Katie and would work with her again! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! My husband and I were married on September 9, 2017 and we are so thankful that we had Katie there to capture our day. Not only did she drive almost 3 hours to get to our venue; she was patient (especially with the kids), kind, and professional. My husband and I are not exactly comfortable in front of the camera and she made us feel at ease throughout the entire experience. We are absolutely in love with the results and can't wait to use her again! If you are looking for a someone that you can trust to produce AMAZING photos, Katie is your gal. read more

I took my senior photos in 2016 at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Katie is an amazing photographer and I would recommended her to anyone. Katie did a great job preparing me for the photo session, letting me know details such as bringing a couple of outfits. She was also informative as she gave an overview of locations for us to choose from. I love the location Legion of Honor she suggested-it was so classy. During the photo session, Katie is so personable and fun! At the same time, you can trust her professionalism and expertise as a photographer which gives you better confidence with posing. She also did a great job editing my photos, they look magazine quality. Overall, she's also a wonderful person and she genuinely cares for her customers. She had the highest commitment to creating the best experience for me and the highest quality pictures. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone!! read more

A-MAZING! My husband and I got married on Sept 20th 2014 in Lodi, Ca. After countless hours of sifting through websites, blogs, portfolios and a lot of sticker shock I finally came across Katie's website! I was SO impressed with her photos and her style of photography. From the moment I reached out she was personable, easy to talk to and so incredibly helpful. We met her to discuss the usual: who, what, when, where and why. She was genuinely interested in making our photography as personalized as possible. She had me send her photos that I liked, ideas that I had and any other input. When it came to day of I was so overwhelmed with getting married and I was worried about "directing" the photo shoot. Katie was amazing at just taking control of the situation and getting people organized. She is so polite and yet she can get a group of groomsmen to pose in just the right way. Katie is like a photo ninja... she captures these amazing photos and you never even knew she was there. As my uncle put it "she was everywhere and no where. Never in the way." I was blown away with the preview blog she posted with some of our pictures. And the turn around time was lightening fast! Overall, the pricing, the quality, the attention to detail and the finish product are all amazing. If I had to do it all over again I would choose Katie every time. Thank you for the amazing memories Katie! http://katiephotographieblog.blogspot.com/ You can check out her blog and our photos here!

Katie is AMAZING! We found her blog after googling potential wedding venue photos. We requested for a quote and then later met up with her at a local cafe. She brought a few photo albums to show us, and we felt really comfortable talking to her and how down-to-earth she was. I think that out of all the vendors we hired for our wedding, we felt the most connected to Katie as we emailed her an hour later asking her to be our engagement and wedding photographer! Katie is super sweet and patient. She will tell you which poses work best, and she is creative with the usage of props/whatever is available at the location of your shooting. My husband's coworker liked Katie's style so much after she saw our engagement photos that she immediately hired Katie to do their maternity photo shoot! During the weeks leading up to the wedding, I really appreciated that Katie gave us suggestions on our wedding itinerary as we did not have a wedding coordinator. On the day of our wedding, Katie arrived with her assistant and scouted the venue for best locations. Any time a friend of mine is thinking about getting a photo shoot done for a special occasion, I immediately recommend that Katie, and you should too. :) read more

Katie Photographie is AMAZING! She took both our maternity pictures and our daughter's first birthday pictures and they both turned out better than I could have imagined. Katie is easy to communicate with and schedule with, her pricing is very fair, she is so sweet and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she gives tips to help you pose and look natural. Best of all her images and editing style are so beautiful. We will treasure these family pictures forever. I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

As a fellow photographer, finding the perfect wedding photographer was very important to myself and my husband. I was very picky when hunting for a photographer, and I looked everywhere. When I came across Katie's photos, I instantly fell in love with her work. I was so pleased with the decision to have her photograph our big day. She was excellent at communicating through out the time frame leading up to the wedding. She went above and beyond on our wedding day to make it special for us and of course took breathtaking photos of our day. I am so blessed to have found such an amazing photographer! If you choose Katie to photograph your wedding day, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it! Thank you Katie for all that you did and the wonderful memories you captured for us. It was truly a pleasure working with you! read more

Katie is amazing! She photographed both my engagement session and wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. We had multiple phone calls before my wedding to discuss details, shots I wanted and day of timeline. Katie had so many practical and helpful suggestions. Day of, she arrived early, had a list of all the shots that were our top priority and made me feel so calm and relaxed. She checked in with me multiple times throughout the day, even showing me test photos of my ceremony as the lighting was tricky and she wanted to make sure she used the right lens/flash to capture the mood. My pictures are so beautiful and Katie was the perfect person to have alongside us that day! Everyone loved my engagement and wedding photos so much that we hired Katie for a family photo session with 12+ people (4 little kids). She helped us pick a location that would work for the size of the group and the vibe we wanted. Katie is absolutely wonderful with children and we got picture after picture of the whole group smiling with their eyes open. She is so kind, accommodating and affordable. I wish she hadn't moved as I would love to still be able to do sessions with her! The best! read more

Katie was absolutely amazing, and more than we could have ever hoped for. My husband and I are not great at taking photos & posing, but Katie such a fantastic job of walking us through everything. I can only imagine how hectic it can be to gather people together, but Katie kept everything going while being so incredibly kind and composed. Katie got us our photos far faster than we expected, and they were absolutely beyond amazing. She was able to capture the feel and ambiance of our wedding perfectly, and everyone we show is awestruck by the beauty of our photos. Whether it was capturing a single moment during the ceremony, or capturing the energy from the reception, every single one of our photos is perfect. And so many of them! Kate provided so many, and it looks like she worked countless hours on each and every one of them. Katie captured the most memorable day of our lives perfectly, and now we get to treasure them every single day. She is so amazing. Thank you so much, Katie!! read more

I'm detail oriented so I have a high bar for service providers and therefore its not easy for me to offer a 5-star rating. But Katie Herche earned it effortlessly. I looked at around 35 photographer profiles on Yelp and shortlisted 3 of them. Katie was wonderful to work with. She was so thorough in her planning. She researched and called places in DC to make sure we didn't need a permit. She scoped out the locations and lighting ahead of time. She loved on our little girl. Our photo session was joyous, efficient and everything went smoothly. And the pictures of course turned out fabulous! read more

Just wow! Katie did my senior portraits, I believe in March. When I first called her to inquire about setting up a session and to ask questions, I knew she would be perfect right away. She was extremely sweet, helpful, understanding, and informative. I got the impression right off the bat that she maintained the perfect balance of professionalism and being casual, fun, and making you feel comfortable. We stayed in contact and throughout the course of time, we set up a date, time, and location. She was very helpful choosing a location as I had no idea where might work. We kept in contact through email and Facebook and she was just awesome. She was always very quick to respond to anything. On the day of the photoshoot, we met at the location and I found her to be very sweet and personable. She found a lot of amazing picture taking spots and was very helpful in posing me (which is AWESOME because I am extremely camera awkward and like lots of guidance!). She worked very hard to make sure that she took tons of pictures and with a huge variety, also paying close attention to what I had mentioned I liked in senior portraits. Very soon after the photoshoot, I got to see my photos. She didn't keep me waiting long at all and she sure didn't leave me disappointed either. I was in absolute awe. I am not always very confident in my appearance and I can usually be pretty camera shy, as I feel I never look good in any pictures. Looking at the pictures Katie took of me, I felt more beautiful than ever. I couldn't believe how amazing they turned out. I couldn't resist showing everybody and posting them everywhere right away. I got incredible feedback from so many people. Everybody loved my photos. I am so proud of those photos. Another thing to mention was what a good deal it all was. When choosing a photographer, I noticed not only was her work my favorite, but the price for what you get was the best. I'm so happy that I got a cd from her with all my pictures. Having the cd gives me so many more options. Katie could probably charge way more than she does and it would still be an awesome deal. Her work is absolutely amazing. She poses people, works with lighting, and edits photos with absolutely amazing skill. Thank you, Katie!!!!! I would recommend her to absolutely anybody. I will be going to her next time I need photos. read more

My wife and I hired Katie for our wedding in 2014. We happened to be sitting down on a (rare) rainy afternoon looking over our photos, and thought "we should write a review". The pictures were awesome. We were very VERY pleased with the work Katie did for us. Flipping through the many pictures of our event, we remembered so many details through Katie's photographic montage. She captured the essence of the event. We really appreciated Katie's approach to our event, she was very unobtrusive (some photographers are very pushy!), yet was able to capture every detail we had hoped for. Katie made every aspect of our business together easy and professional, from the interview process, to her work on our special day, to the finished product. highly recommend Katie for any event one would like to capture with timeless photos read more

Katie was everything my fiancée and I hoped for in a photographer, and so much more. She spoke with us before the shoot to understand how she could reach our goals while still contributing her own creative flavor, and generously gave us her entire morning. Once we were on the shoot, she worked hard to make us feel comfortable in spite of our usual awkwardness in front of the camera, and captured the best of every pose before moving on. She was extremely responsive to our needs throughout the process and made suggestions that delivered even more of what we wanted to achieve. At the end of it, we definitely felt that we had gotten our money's worth since she had invested so much time to get the desired results and even took us to an extra location at the last minute. Overall, our experience with Katie surpassed expectation, giving us stunning photos that were FUN to be a part of. We have already booked her for our wedding! read more

We hired Katie to shoot our engagement photos. It is very clear why she had such outstanding reviews. She completely catered to our wants in the style that she shot our poses, as well as coming prepared with several poses which fit perfectly with our locations. She was confident with her abilities, and this showed in the photos. I was also unsure of how the photos would come out being that the weather was less than optimal with lots of wind and fog, but every shot came out better than we even hoped for. Each photo had such beautiful detail and precision in the framing. Katie proved to be an amazing photographer with exceptional quality in her work. Her prices are more reasonable than other photographers we looked at, and her photos turned out incredibly gorgeous. We were so pleased that we hired her for our wedding as well. Let me state that our wedding was not at all what we planned, being that it was storming and muddy during our outdoor wedding as we moved between tents. Even so, we put on our rain boots and had the best day of our lives. Katie truly captured our happiest moments through the midst of such conditions. We are so grateful to Katie, and will definitely recommend her to all our friends and family, as well as keeping her in mind for any special moments we need captured. Her work is truly remarkable. read more
