Katie photographed several gigs for me and captured some fantastic pictures despite difficult lighting conditions. She’s easy to get on with, blends in with the crowd and produces excellent results. A pleasure to work with.

Katie was recommended to us by a friend, to photograph our wedding on 21st July 2018. We wish that we could give Katie 10 stars! ! She was absolutely incredible to work with, making us feel so relaxed and happy throughout the whole day. When I first met Katie in the morning, I instantly felt at ease with her warm personality and laid back approach. We so enjoyed the laughter and fun that Katie gave us all day! Aside from her insane photography skills, Katie’s biggest attribute is her wonderful way with people. My husband is a bit camera shy, but Katie really brought him out of his shell and helped him to feel relaxed when we were having our photos taken together. Katie also worked amazingly well with our videographer, so much so that some of our guests assumed that they were part of the same team! We’ve received our teaser photos from Katie and are absolutely thrilled!! We both laughed and cried as we re-lived the day through the beautiful photos. The attention to detail, lighting and documentary style just blew us away. We absolutely cannot wait to see the rest of them.Katie we cannot thank you enough for making our day so special!Mr and Mrs Knight-Cross More...

Katie shot our wedding and we loved her photos so much we've since asked her back to cover family events. We love her documentary style, she has a fantastic eye that lets you in on all the gorgeous details of the day you're so busy you miss. You'd also barely know she was there - she snaps away in the background and catches all the beautiful moments. She is a lovely person to have around, perfectly judging when to step in. We got everything we wanted including some great set ups - we saw the day from a totally different angle and all so naturally and with a great sense of fun. Katie puts loads of imaginative ideas on the table whilst also listening to everything you ask for and delivering on that. We absolutely love our albums, every time we look through we find something new we hadn't spotted. We can't recommend her more highly. More...

Katie was an integral and wonderful part of our wedding. She brilliantly captured the essence of the whole day - the love, the fun, the warmth, the terrible dancing! She caught so many sweet and real moments, like my half-eaten toast on the breakfast tray in the bridal suite and our bouquets keeping fresh in their buckets.

We wanted something relaxed and natural and candid and that's exactly what Katie delivered, beyond our expectations. She's also an incredibly nice and lovely human and was just a joy to have around, we still feel so privileged that she was involved.

She's like a stealthy wee ninja, she caught so much and our guests were really surprised when they saw the photos because half the time they weren't even aware she was around! And she handled mums and dads and grandmas beautifully during the portrait section.

We can't recommend Katie highly enough - her photos are just as fabulous as she is! More...

THANK YOU for being such a fantastic photographer and lovely human. You made our day so special and you caught so many brilliant and sweet moments, like my half-eaten toast on its tray during the morning! We knew we loved your style, but when we got our images back you'd surpassed what we had expected. You captured the essence of the whole day - the warmth, the laughter, the tears, the awful dancing. It was a privilege to have you involved. The parcel that came in the post was perfection - we put the slideshow on and immediately burst into tears. And the prints you'd included of my lovely grandad were a beautiful and thoughtful touch. We are so very glad we found you. K & T More...

Katie, thank you so much for capturing our wedding day in such beautiful photography. Your attention to detail is amazing, and I feel as though you really understood what was important to us on the day. You also managed to make two very awkward people comfortable in front of a camera - in fact, for most of it I hardly knew you were there! We have shared the images with family and they all love the pics - great to be able to share this with them and have these lasting memories. The slideshow in particular was so well put together, it really summarised the whole day from start to finish. I especially love the pic of my brother in his farming gear (much more comfortable in this than a suit) and all of the 'getting ready' moments that we might otherwise have forgotten in the whirlwind of the day. Thank you, Helen & Leki x More...

I can't even begin to say thank you for the parcel we've just had through the post. It was enough to bring me to tears before we'd even got to 9am on a Saturday morning. From start to finish we couldn't have asked for anything more - nothing has ever been too much trouble and you took so many incredible photographs of people and moments we could never have seen. Your work is simply stunning and this was the best decision we've taken. The icing on the cake is the hard copy photos and gorgeous box - best post ever! More...

Where to begin. From the first meeting with Katie I knew we were in the safest of hands. She is amazing at what she does and she really does go above and beyond. Our pictures were beyond our expectations and the slideshow blew us away. It was great to be able to relive such a magical day and see the details and reactions that are so easily missed. The little extra touches that she does to make it an even more personal experience add the cherry on top to an already perfect cake. Best decision ever for the best day ever.

Katie is the best! We booked her quite last minute for a late December wedding and she was very accommodating. Although we couldn't meet before the wedding (due to our personal logistics, not Katie's! ), she made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. Katie was friendly and non-intrusive, but also not afraid to get where she needed to be to get the good photos! And the photos were BEAUTIFUL! Katie did a perfect job of capturing the tone of the day. It's really clear that she cares about the story of each of her clients and does her best to create a comprehensive memory of the entire day, instead of only a pretty series of individual photos.

Katie was brilliant from beginning to end!

She was the photographer for our wedding in September and we couldn’t have asked for better. She put us at ease straight away when we first contacted her and was so relaxed and positive throughout. We knew we had made the right choice when we saw the beautiful photos from the engagement shoot. On the day both she and Katie, the second shooter, were the consummate professionals but also relaxed and friendly and so patient – which must have been a challenge at times! The wedding photos are stunning and Katie managed to capture so many beautiful moments from the day. We both cried the first time we looked at them and our friends and family have been just as moved and impressed.

Thanks so much for everything Katie

We had Katie do the photographs for our wedding in August. Right from the first enquiry to receiving our photographs we couldn't fault her at all! The weather was pretty disappointing on the day after fantastic sunshine all week but she managed to capture everything perfectly and you would hardly even know it hadn't been great. She worked so hard all day and has captured the most amazing photos for us. Nothing was too much trouble, even though we were pretty unorganised and probably a little too laid back! She was so relaxed which was just what we were after and captured things that i hadn't even noticed going on! Everyone i have spoken to about her from the day said how wonderful she was. If you want a relaxed, professional and wonderful photographer then Katie is for you. I cannot thank you enough for everything, we will treasure these photos forever, thank you so much :-) Xxxx More...

Absolutely wonderful wedding photography. Katie worked her socks off at our New Year's Wedding and produced some of the most beautiful, fun and quirky photos. Not being the most photogenic and genuinely worried about looking terribly awkward, we were optimistically hoping for 10 that we liked. Instead we have come away with 500 amazing images of us and our friends and family. Every time I look through them, they recapture the magic of the day and make me beam. Katie was so unobtrusive, personable and fantastic with our guests. And running back and forth between two locations in Hurricane Frank took such commitment and was so appreciated. Great value for money and worth every penny as she has documented our day so perfectly and we will always have these to look back on and remember and reminisce. Thank you so much.
