Sarah - Married October 7, 2023
Kate did our engagement and wedding photo's. We couldn't be happier! They turned out so good! I showed her some ideas I had that I had found online. And she did better than what I found!
She was down to earth, easy to work with and helped run our wedding day schedule with ease! She kept communication with our other vendors and worked in the shots we needed and wanted.
Kate and her husband were a blast to work with and we had fun with them!
She helped us with finding vendors too. Being in the industry for so long, she had relationships with other vendors that she thought we'd work well with. And we loved every single one that she hooked us up with. We'll definitely be reaching out as our family grows! We've found our forever photographer!

Brian - Married on July 24, 2021
We had our engagement session with Kate in the summer of 2019. She got to know us, and learned how much we love our dogs. So she planned a session that showed that. We had so much fun with her at our session. Fast forward, and our wedding, due to covid, was postponed 2 times between our April date and our August date in 2020. Both times, we lost our venues and some some vendors. And Kate was with us through it all to help us re-book! (Grateful we didn't loose her!) That's not a typical wedding photographer in my book! She gave us leads to contact people, and get things re-booked, like flowers, videography, catering and even an officiant!! All within 4 months! On the day of our wedding, quite a few things didn't go as planned, and the schedule was way off. Kate wasn't phased by this and rolled with it and made sure communication lines were clear, and we were back on schedule by the time the reception hit with our photography schedule. Looking at our photo's today, all you see are the candid moments Kate and her team caught, and some amazing photo's for our walls for generations to come! I'd highly recommend Kate and her team, they all are truly amazing people!

We would highly recommend Kate for any of your photography needs!
Kate took both our engagement and wedding photos and we are so happy we hired her for both. One of the main things after our engagement shoot and our wedding that both my husband and I commented on was how easy it is to be around Kate. She had us laughing, smiling, and genuinely enjoying taking our photos which resulted in some unforgettable candid shots.
Kate really lets you guide the process so your photos actually look like you, not stiff and posed. She also provides excellent guidance if you’re not sure about something during the process. We had a hard time narrowing down our favorites because there were so many amazing ones to choose from! We would highly recommend Kate for any of your photography needs!

Easy to work with
Kate is a great photographer to work with. She has an amazing personality and is fun to work with. On our wedding day it rained the entire day which was really bumming because I was looking forward to pictures outside. She got quite a few good pictures that day and said that we could schedule a reshoot so that we could more of the pictures that I wanted, I really wanted one of us running away from a giant tarantula because spiders are a thing in our house and she made it happen.

Kate is AMAZING!! I only have a few experiences working with photographers, and Kate is by far the easiest to work with! She makes you feel comfortable in front of the lens, and has an impeccable eye for detail. As a bride there's a lot of stress with planning and getting through the wedding ceremony - Kate helps alleviate the stress by helping you schedule your day (i.e., getting ready, bridal shots, family shots, reveals, etc.) and coordinates with other vendors as needed to ensure the day goes as smoothly as possible. Added bonus, she would keep me updated on how my groom was doing and how good he looked - just adding to my excitement to see him waiting for me at the alter! Thanks for all of your work, Kate - it's definitely appreciated!!

Jessica · Married on 05/01/2016
I would book her again and again. Oh wait...I have. In fact, I can't even count the number of times I've worked with Kate (a.k.a. RagsPhotography) over the years. I've been nothing short of wowed with her work. Kate has assisted with not only family photos, but for my business, my pageant and other special projects, one even with Womens Health Magazine. I completely trust her to create images I can be proud of.
