About Kate Kaplan Photography

Kate Kaplan Photography

Owner/Lead Photographer

I work to craft images about connection - photographs that have warmth & tell a story about the love you share as a couple or as a family. I believe your wedding photos should stand the test of time. You want to feel completely confident that your story is going to be captured in a way that is beautiful and true to who you are as a couple. Not only that but we should probably have some fun along the way! I feel so honored to play a small part in your best day ever. I am here to help you enjoy this season of your life and have you feel well taken care of from day one.

There are many talented photographers out there, but only one me. Of course my couples love my style of photography, but ultimately they choose me because they can tell I genuinely care about them & their wedding day. They know they are in good hands & will have a great experience. With me, you can expect a personalized approach, as much support & guidance as you need, and images that feel timeless & true to you. Each couple & each wedding day is unique. That’s why everything is customizable with me. I’ve found that I can offer the most value for your investment by building custom collection options based on your specific priorities & plans.

We absolutely recommend booking Kate as your wedding photographer! We hired Kate for our engagement session and wedding photos and are so pleased with how everything turned out. Kate does an incredible job capturing the little moments and helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. She is so kind and thoughtful and her calming presence helped us stay in the moment throughout the busy day.
Kate is the best!

Kate was one of our favorite vendors and a pretty important one as our wedding day photographer! We had a great experience with her at both our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. I also met with her a few times for consulting/advice on our timeline before the big day, which was SO helpful. Kate makes you feel comfortable and natural while she is behind the camera making the magic happen! She is so kind and has such a calming presence, yet keeps everything moving and on schedule. Kate makes sure to get all of your preferred photos, from detail shots to group shots and the moments in between. We absolutely love our sneak peek shots and are so excited to get our full gallery and physical photos! I highly recommend Kate for your wedding, she gets it done beautifully and you won't be disappointed. Best decision we made :)
Hire Kate - she’s the absolute best.

Kate was truly the biggest blessing on our wedding day. Her calming presence and overall dedication to making sure things turned out the way we envisioned was beyond what I expected. On top of her being an INCREDIBLE photographer, she was so much more than that. She helped me with my timeline, she made sure that things at the reception were in order, she altered my wedding dress on the spot (literally pinned the neckline in a matter of minutes to turn it into my dream dress, I’ll never be able to express enough gratitude for that), I could go on and on. I received so many compliments from our wedding party as well about her ability to control (our sometimes quite loud) group and make everyone feel comfortable and confident. She also did a fantastic job communicating throughout the entire process. I would HIGHLY highly recommend hiring Kate.
Kate is AMAZING!

Hire Kate as your wedding photographer!! Kate was one of our absolute favorite vendors from our wedding and the day truly wouldn't have been the same or gone they way it did without her. From the initial meeting, to the check-ins, and the day-of, Kate was so kind and so professional. We had Kate photograph our welcome event the day before our wedding and it was a great way to get us and our guests comfortable before our big day. On the day of the wedding, we got so many compliments about Kate from the wedding party and our families. She made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, how to pose, and was so efficient with family photos before our ceremony. After the wedding, we received SO many sneak peeks within a week of the wedding and it was so fun getting to relive the day through her beautiful photography. If you're wondering if Kate is the right choice, just do it, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Kate for capturing our day and making everything so special.

Typically, couples book me between 16-10 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

I photograph about 50% of my weddings solo, but I work with you to help you decide if adding a second photographer to your collection is a good idea!

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. My editing style is true-to-life colors because I believe your photos need to stand the test of time! No trendy filters here. I deliver every image to you in color, & black & white.

I don't currently offer in-house video services but I am happy to connect you with my favorite, very talented videographers!

I always share a few sneak peek photos within 24 hours of your wedding. You can also expect to see 30 or so highlight images within a few weeks, usually in a blog post or shared with you directly. After that, my turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view all your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding.

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my 12+ years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted second photographer.

We'll start with a quick chat to get to know each other. I'll build custom collections for you to choose from. After you select the collection that is right for you, we make sure everything you need is included before officially booking. A $600 fee is required to reserve your date with me & is due at the time of booking. As soon as the deposit is received & the contract signed - it's official!
