Kate Kelly Photography

Kate has a great way of learning about the couple and who they are and incorporating that into the photo session. The outcome is really personal, unique photos that you will treasure forever. We got so many compliments on our shots that there were too many to count. She was willing to shoot on the coldest day of the year, and made us both feel very comfortable. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish...from the first consultation to the final meeting with coffee and prints! We highly recommend!

I could not have asked for better wedding pictures! These photos will be what we have to remember our day forever and Kate Kelly captured our special day so well.

Kate Kelly is my favorite photographer! I won't use anyone else. Kate is in a league of her own. There is not another photographer around who can touch her level of expertise. She's THE BEST! Capturing life's everyday and special moments are so important to me. She's professional but flexible and so easy to work with. The photos we have from her are definitely our most treasured items. Kate Kelly Photography is more than amazing!

Working with Kate and her team has been a wonderful experience. Our interview with her was an absolute breeze and we knew right away that she was the right photographer for us - her work is beautiful, and Kate herself is incredibly personable and professional. She is also well-networked within Portland's wedding-related community, so she was able to provide valuable insight & suggestions that helped us tackle some of our wedding preparation tasks.On our wedding day, we really felt like Kate & her team were in the wedding party - like having more friends along for the ride. It was a very comfortable experience - especially for a bride & groom who really don't care to sit still for the camera!And finally - our wedding images are absolutely incredible and we couldn't be happier with them. Working with Kate was a fun & satisfying experience and we know for certain that we'll work with her again.

We loved having Kate photograph our family lunch reception! All of our guests were thrilled with her friendly and professional attitude. The photographs are beautiful and we couldn't be happier!

It is difficult to put into words how wonderful my experience was with Kate Kelly Photography. It has been a year and a half since my wedding and I still get goose bumps every time I look at our wedding images. Her images are able to capture the personalities of the bride and groom and the energy of that special day in such a way that even a perfect stranger can look at your wedding pictures and almost know you from just the photos. It took us a full year to order our wedding album as we live on the east coast, and again the final product was extraordinary! Angie has an amazing gift of design that tells the story of that day through the images that will be a treat for generations to enjoy. Everyone we have shown our wedding photos and album to sound like a broken record, saying they are the most beautiful photos/album they have ever seen. To top it off, Kate and Angie are the most wonderful people to work with and we have the pleasure of calling them friends after they have witnessed such a special time in our lives. We will be back again for more photos soon, as we are expecting our first child.

We ended up splurging a little on the wedding pictures, and I’m so glad we did. Kate did an amazing job, and she was able to perfectly capture the day as it unfolded. Kate has a wonderfully creative and artistic eye, and she takes beautiful candid shots which take you right back to that moment. Her work is stunning! I am beyond pleased with my wedding and engagement photos. I feel so lucky to have perfectly captured memories for such a special and important day. In addition to her beautiful work, Kate is friendly, kind, and a joy to work with. She’s the type of person that once you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her your whole life. I highly, highly recommend her.

After meeting Kate at a wedding we worked on together, I decided to hire her for a professional photo shoot on my birthday last year and we had such a FUN time!!! Not only is she an excellent photographer, she is one of the sweetest and kindest ladien in the industry. My husband and daughter met up with us half way through the shoot and she offered to take some family photos as well...even though we only had a half hour they are some of the best we have! She made all 3 of us feel totally at ease and knew all the great spots to go for modern and edgy photos. When I saw the photos I was beyond thrilled and can't wait for our next session with Kate! She is a doll and you will LOVE the entire experience whether you hire her for your wedding, professional, family or boudoir shoot!

If I could give a rating of 6 I would! Katie is off the charts in terms of a fabulous photographer. She just captures the moment in a way that makes you feel like you’re right in that moment again when you look at the picture after the fact. There’s a sense of emotion in each picture. Katie includes an engagement photo session in the package and those were priceless. The wedding photos and especially album were amazing. I still look back at the pictures and am amazed at how well Katie captured the wonderful moments.

I would give her a 6 if I could. Kate was the best of all the services provided to us. Her photography is just stellar - I can't say enough about her way with the camera and the clients. She captured all of the important things of the day: laughter, playfulness, intimacy, faith. Because we didn't have a budget for a videographer AND a photographer, I knew that we needed to find the best photographer we possibly could, and we absolutely found it with Kate. I've looked at my wedding photos dozens of times! She and her whole crew were professional, prompt with the finished product, and of the highest quality. I've recommended her to friends and family and have successfully nabbed a few into going with her, too.

Kate has the most brilliant eye of any photographer I've worked with. More importantly, she develops a great rapport with her clients - instead of creating any more hassle or stress on our big day (as I've seen so many wedding photographers do as they force their agenda on the process) she blends seamlessly into the festivities, capturing an awesome array of portraits and candid moments. Kate enhanced our wedding day and ensured that we have the most wonderful memories on display. We continue using her photography now that our family is growing - she is GREAT with kids!

Kate is awesome! It’s almost hard for me to put into words how happy we were with Kate and our finished photography. Photography was number one on our list of importance when we started planning our wedding, we met with a lot of photographers and Kate was the cream of the crop. Her photographs are beautiful and she has a great, natural, photojournalistic style that makes all of her subjects look fantastic. Plus, she has a great personality and is so easy to get along with – very important since she was basically with me from start to finish on my wedding day. Kate is non-intrusive, but gets all the emotional and amazing shots you’d want from your wedding day. We have recommended Katie to all of our friends and feel very blessed to have found her. Kate will be our family photographer forever – she’ll be taking pictures of our kids when the time comes.

I LOVE Katie! We were referred to her by another photographer and were thrilled by her personable touch and outstanding final products. She’s very good at what she does and even my husband (who has a background in photography and film) was comfortable enough to let her direct what images she felt would best portray our personalities and event. I’ve always really loved the sort of photojournalism approach to photo sessions that not only catch the mood of events but also tell the story. I looked at several photographer portfolios and every book Katie provided, as examples were stunning. Post event she really takes the time to select the best photos and include an online slide show, which was great to share with guests after event. My final photo album might be the coolest book I’ve ever seen. I can’t imagine money better spent.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Kate. She is SUCH a talent, and that is evident in her work. All of her images are so bright, cheery, full of life and love! But she is also such a gem of a person, and made me feel so comfortable in front of the lens. With the amount of time you spend with your photographer, especially the day of the wedding, having a personality like Kate there is so valuable. I just love her, love her work and have no hesitation with 5 stars all around!

I loved our wedding photos so much, I used Kate for both maternity and family photos as well. She is very good at capturing the moment and getting you and everyone else relaxed enough to take a good photograph.

I can't say enough about Kate Kelly! She is a fabulous photographer who gives 100% at every wedding and works hard to capture every couple's day seamlessly. We've worked together a number of times and she never fails to impress and amaze me with her energy and dedication at each wedding she photographs. Not only does she take beautiful photos, she is a blast to work with and her kind and warm personality are infectious. Kate has my highest recommendation!
