Kate Connolly Photography

At the very beginning, I was so impressed with Kate's style of shooting and her wedding albums. Our engagement shoot was fantastic. She shot over 800 pictures in a little less than an hour and they were FANTASTIC! I can be a bit camera shy, but she really helped to loosen me up.Finally, our wedding day. We hit her with just about every obstacle- we were a bit of a destination wedding, it was pouring, it was SO hot and humid, and I had some crazy guests that I think tried to dance with her! But she was incredible. She explained to everyone what she wanted, got all the pictures done in a timely fashion and was very sweet. She also helped calm me down. I loved her 2nd shooter Jake as well!I have not seen the images yet, but I can't wait to! I have loved looking at other pictures on her blog and can't wait to set up my album.

Easiest choice you will make when planning a wedding!I agree with all the previous reviews. Kate is awesome, fabulous, we absolutely loved her and ten stars defiantly are not enough!We did a lot of research on wedding photographers and Kate’s portfolio and personality blew everyone else out of the water. We changed our wedding date so we could have her as our photographer. The thing that make’s her and her pictures unique are that she doesn’t just take a picture, she actually captures the moments, as corny as it might sound. She has this rare ability to eliminate all the “promy” looking pictures you will get elsewhere. We currently live in the Boston area and had our wedding in Northern NJ. There were a lot of obstacles with planning a wedding so far away, but not when it came to pictures. Kate was willing to meet with us over the phone, email and on Skype as many times as we liked to make sure she captured our personalities. On the day of our wedding she was the first one there and one of the last to leave and had a smile on her face the entire time. We highly highly recommend her for any event…You would be crazy not to have Kate as your photographer.

Kate was amazing. Upon inquiring about her services, she quickly responded with an email to follow up with wedding albums and events she has photographed. Once I looked through certain sites, we quickly scheduled a time and date to meet. Her passion truly came through on my wedding day and helped me stay relaxed and just have fun with it, when taking the many pictures after.

Kate, Jimmy, and her team were amazing! It was everything my husband and I wanted and we are soo pleased and excited!

kate is the best!after we were engaged, the first vendor I called was kate. I had seen her pictures online and knew I wanted to book her! after meeting with kate, we decided to go with the whole offbeet productions package including engagement pictures, engagement video, DJ, wedding photography, wedding video, etc. we are so happy with everything! the pictures are beyond gorgeous and kate and denny have been a pleasure to work with. just really nice, cool people whose style and vibe meshed perfectly with ours. kate was so professional, prepared, and organized on the wedding day. she is a wonderful photographer and I would highly recommend her!

My husband and I thought we were just about ready to hire our wedding photographer after 8 interviews until I accidentally stumbled across Kate Connolly’s website and immediately FELL In LOVE and just had to meet her! I convinced my husband to attend ONE more photographer meeting and unlike any of our other meetings, we both agreed the second we walked out of our appointment with Kate, that she was the one for us! Kate’s laid back and free spirited personality made us feel at complete ease and knew she would be just perfect for our beach wedding! We were aware of Kate’s talent from looking at her incredible portfolio but we had NO idea just HOW talented and insane Kate is with her photography until we experienced this first hand.  We were both a little nervous pre engagement session but once we got started on the beach, we had a blast and took some of the most beautiful photographs together. Kate and her assistant, Ed were such fun to work with and we knew from that point on, we had left our wedding in the best’s hands!  We had the most beautiful wedding day and Kate was there for it all… from the early morning prep to the late partying and captured every single magical moment of our day!  Kate has a low profile, unobtrusive, super professional style that makes working with her a complete joy and completely stress free, so much so that we didn’t even realize she was there half the time. But after admiring all our amazing photographs, Kate was there and did capture EVERY single special moment and more! We left our locations and photo opportunity venues up to Kate and she picked some insanely cool and original spots. Post wedding day, Kate and I worked out a schedule for the day and Kate kept us all on schedule and actually got us to the ceremony venue EARLY!  Our sneak peak photographs were ready before we even left for our honeymoon and we were completely taken back when we saw what Kate had done! She is a true artist and one of the most talented people I have ever had the chance to work with. I can’t begin to share the amount of compliments we have received and everyone at our wedding asked about our Kate. The photographs were like none anyone has ever seen before. Forget the traditional, boring wedding pictures. Kate’s photojournalism style and amazing artistic ability provided us with the most amazing photographs that I will cherish forever.  Just one look at these photographs, and I am taken right back to may 29th, the most special day of our lives. Thank you, Kate. You are truly a genius and we wish you continued success and fortune as you have your entire career ahead of you. I can’t wait for you to capture the next chapter of our lives…BABIES

Kate is an AMAZING photographer! She captures all of your most special moments, and has outstanding creative abilities! Her and her assistants worked very hard to make our wedding day the best!

Kate Connolly was a joy to work with. Picking the right photographer was a huge element in the wedding planning and I was so pleased to find Kate. We knew we picked someone who was passionate about her craft when Kate got down onto the floor on her stomach in the streets on NYC to capture photos for our engagement shoot. Not only did myself and my husband love working with her, my family and friends all commented on how great she was on the wedding day, not pushy and in control. The end product of both our engagement pictures and wedding photos are just beautiful. Kate even brought on her 2nd shooter Jimmy, who was also super awesome for our entire day!

Kate is soo amazingly talented. She captured each special moment of the most important day in our lives. She is so creative and brilliant with her "eye" for great pictures. She is brilliant and very easy to work with! We highly recommend her.

Kate Connolly was the photographer that I used for my May 23, 2009 wedding, and I must say she is wonderful! She took such amazing pictures of me and my husband, family, bridal party, guests, the ceremony, reception, etc. She is so skilled and talented at what she does. Kate is upbeat, energetic, professional and on top of things. We had given her a list of the pics we wanted and the special moments we wanted captured...she remembered it all. She was very unobtrusive; you didn't even realize that she was there. She is also very artistic, in that she didn't just capture the standard pictures, but she caught moments that I wouldn't have thought of - but were so beautiful. Family, friends and guests have been raving about her pictures! I even had one friend tell me that every time she looks at my photos, she said it reminds of her an InStyle Wedding shoot :)! I am so glad that we chose her because the pictures are such an important aspect of the wedding. Those are the memories you'll have forever....I would highly recommend Kate - you will be so pleased beyond your wildest dreams!!

Kate is an incredible photographer- her team is really on the ball as well. She has an incredible eye, and her work is just gorgeous. She's beyond a joy to work with and her energy really shines through in all the images she captures. She is my go-to photographer and I recommend her to all of my clients!

I've had the pleasure of working as Kate Connolly's 2nd shooter. Kate allows me the freedom to be extremely creative with my photography. I'm always very excited to work with Kate because she makes me feel like an equal as opposed to just an assistant photographer. She is also the type of photographer who becomes friends her brides and grooms, and they just love her! Here's to Kate the Great :)
