Amazing

"Kate is an absolutely amazing wedding photographer!! Kate made the day even more amazing. I really hate photos being taken of me and was dreading the photographs, but 5 minutes into Kate starting I totally forget all my worries and really enjoyed it!! Everyone who attended the wedding commented on how lucky we were to have Kate and said that she made them feel really comfortable. Kate made the whole experience fun and enjoyable and I cannot believe how much my husband and I love the photos. I want to say a big thank you to Kate for being amazing and cannot write enough to praise her. If you are looking for a photographer, I urge you to choose Kate. Best decision we have ever made!!"
