She so seamlessly captured the magic of our wedding weekend while also allowing us to stay present. She was the absolute sweetest person to be with throughout the wedding day. We are absolutely obsessed with all of our wedding photos and cannot recommend working with her enough!!! We will cherish the photos she took for the rest of our lives.

From the smallest details to the big moments, Kathleen will make you want to do it all over again as you scan through all your perfect memories. There is no one else I would have wanted on the other side of the camera. Kathleen is true talent. She will listen to your needs and wants from the beginning of the planning process to the moment she is delivering your final gallery. Kathleen has the passion for photography and capturing these important moments. It's clear from the moment you see the first pictures that she has taken that you know you made the right choice. We could not have been happier to have Kathleen by our side the day of. She made us feel so comfortable! All my friends and family are raving about the pictures they keep seeing pop up on social media. You will not be disappointed. You absolutely want -- need, Kathleen to take your wedding photos!
