Kate Maleny

Kate was wonderfully professional, punctual, patient, and the perfect choice to photograph our wedding. The photos were just gorgeous and she was very thoughtful and helpful to have around on the day. She made us feel relaxed and really listened and responded to our wishes for photos from the day. We would not hesitate recommending her to be part of your wedding team! The images that we have as a memento of our wedding day are treasured keepsakes which perfectly represent our day – we will enjoy the gift of her skilled photography for the rest of our lives!

You hear that weddings can be stressful. You hear that something always goes wrong or doesn’t go to plan. We were not immune and were certainly hit with a number of challenges. If this happens to you, try to just focus on the good things. Try to just focus on the fact that today, you're marrying the love of your life. Try to focus on the people who showed up. Focus on the smiles, the laughter, the connections. Enjoy every moment because it genuinely flies by in a heartbeat. Considering the number of things that went wrong on my wedding day, I really lucked out with booking Kate. Kate was more than just our photographer, she was also like a wedding planner and a best friend all wrapped into one. Kate helped me to speak my mind when I didn't feel comfortable - like when the hairstylist didn't do my hair properly (it wasn't ANYTHING remotely similar to the picture I had given her or that we did in the trial), or by helping the makeup artist stick to the timeline. She planned a beautiful first look, helped us with poses, met the driver who would take us from the hotel to the church, helped the bridesmaids set up the flowers and checked in with me while I was waiting in the car. She made sure I was calm when things were going wrong and even straightened my beautiful train which the bridesmaids forgot. Kate, you were the calm in the stormy moments. You kept us on time (as much as humanly possible), helped me to focus on the positives and ensured that we enjoyed our day no matter what life threw our way. You are the one thing I'm so glad I invested in. Your beautiful images will last forever and I'm truly grateful we asked you to capture our day. Now looking back on the photos, I can only remember the incredible moments, the connections with our family and friends and the tremendous joy we experienced while celebrating our love.
