Reviews of Kate Paterson Photography (Photo Studio)

Monique Schwanz

We hired Kate for our Engagement photos and loved her work so much that we hired her to do our wedding photos in Mexico. She was so good she even helped me when my bridesmaids where nowhere to be found. We had a brief idea of what my husband and I were looking for but also left it for her creativity and we couldn't be happier with the results. When we had the reception I barely noticed her there. She captured every special moment perfectly. We highly recommend Kate as she is so easy to work with. Also know she's on time and well prepared. She has great experienced and it shows in her work. Very important when choosing a great photographer.

We found Kate through a mutual friend and couldn't be more impressed with her and her business. We were able to do our engagement shoot in the Pitt Meadows area and the results were better than we expected- she is very talented. Unfortunately our wedding got caught up in COIVD-19 restrictions and we had to post-pone/change the dates twice... The patience and professionalism Kate has shown with all of that has been amazing. We cannot wait to get married and have full trust in Kate being able to do a superior job for us. High, highly recommend anyone reading this to reach out and speak with her today.

Kate Paterson is everything. I worked with Kate on branding photos for my business and she was extremely impressive from day one. She was extremely flexible, consultative to help me figure out a perfect vision, and such a gem to work with in person. She made me feel confident, helped me let loose, and shot so many remarkable high quality photos. I would hire her again in a second - and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone.

THE MOST MAGICAL GOOSEBUMPS looking through our photo gallery!!! As someone who works with photographers all the time for work and travel, I have never come across someone who's photos make me want to cry they are SO AMAZING! Kate is the only person I'd want to shoot with forever. The best of the best!!

Kate is such a wonderful and charming person! My partner and I loved our engagement session just as much as the photo outcome! We had a tight budget and she worked out a mini engagement session so we were able to get to know each other and experience her photography before our wedding. I love her style and personality and would recommend her 100 times over! With the world changing kate has made sure to inform us on as much as she can and we are very thankful for that. We can not wait for our wedding!

We just received our engagement gallery & it is so much more than we ever expected. Just the sneak peak alone was more than we expected or could have imagined & we received it hours after the shoot. Kate made our experience so enjoyable - she made us feel comfortable & at ease, which really came through in our photos. We love that she kept the camera snapping during the in between posing moments to really capture who we are as a couple. We definitely recommend Kate to any and all who are looking for a lovely professional photographer to capture their life moments. We cannot wait for our wedding day!

KATE- She made an experience that can be super awkward the complete opposite! She gave us direction when needed but never posed us, she gave us all the opportunity to capture fun, loving and natural photos! Kate gave us so many amazing photos, we can't recommend her enough!

Having hired many photographers all over the world, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that Kate is EASILY one of the most talented photographers out there. My wife and I have hired her a few times now and each photo she takes manages to be pure magic. If you're looking for someone that's extremely easily to get along with, has incredible location/photo ideas, and is ultra talented, look no further!

Kate did a fantastic job throughout the entire time she worked with us. We cannot say enough good things about Kate and our experience working with her. She was quick to respond to any questions and was always professional, helpful, and genuine. Kate listened to our thoughts and ideas and offered guidance as needed. She is reasonably priced and her work ethic and determination to offer the best service possible makes her worth every dollar that was spent. Throughout our time working with her, Kate made it a priority to get to know us which helped put us at ease instantly and meant our photos looked natural and great. We are not usually ones to be comfortable or look comfortable in front of the camera but with Kate you would never know. Leading up to the wedding, Kate was always in contact to help ensure everything was set for the day. We did a shoot with her prior to and her enthusiasm and excitement for what she does is inspiring. She kept things light, fun, and relaxed which took away much of the anxiety and stress associated with being photographed all day. On the day of Kate was punctual, organized, and efficient. She helped keep us on track with our timeline while also ensuring we were focusing on enjoying each moment of the day. She was flexible and caught the good stuff, the love, the laughter, and smiles perfectly. After the event, Kate was prompt to provide us with a beautifully organized slideshow that also included a thoughtful message describing the events of the day. We are blown away by the quantity and quality of the photos she took from the day. They expertly captured all of the moments and memories while also highlighting our personalities. Kate is clearly passionate and invested in what she does. The care, thoughtfulness, and genuine desire to make her clients feel special is evident in every aspect of her work and business model. From the time put in to getting time to know her clients, communication with other vendors and people involved with the wedding, to sending pre- and post wedding gifts, and to making you feel like a friend not just a paid contract; it is clear she cares. We have already recommended Kate to others and have only heard positive things from those who have worked with her as well. Especially with navigating the chaos and uncertainty associated with planning or re-planning a wedding during a global pandemic. We highly recommend Kate and have full confidence she will surpass all expectations.

Kate is AMAZING! We cannot rave about her enough. She has gone above and beyond for my fiance and I through our engagement shoot, to adjusting our wedding plans due to COVID. We cannot wait to have her capture our elopement! <3

Chelsea Stephenson

Our family shoot with Kate was such a fantastic experience. She had us all relaxed and having fun within minutes which in turn shows in our pictures. I have nothing but great things to say, she is an absolute natural with a camera. We will be using Kate to photograph our family for years to come!

Kate it’s amazing photographer! Love her photos

Kaitlyn Green

We are SO HAPPY our wedding planner recommended Kate! She is so down to earth and fun! We felt so at ease during our engagement session with her - she brought out the fun and truly captured who we are as a couple! The photos are STUNNING!!! She has a way of capturing movement and feeling in a single shot and we were blown away with every photo. I only wish our wedding was sooner so we could hang out with her again and have even more outstanding photos to stare at forever! Thank you Kate for bringing out the best in us and capturing such a special moment in our lives!

Megan Waldock

Kate is amazing!! I was super happy with how the photos turned out!! Kate gives off the most amazing vibe when she works. She makes the photos fun and natural. I loved how she kind of faded into the background AND did NOT have one of those annoyingly loud cameras. Kate’s attention to detail is amazing!! When she sent us the photos she had them all sorted for us into lovely folders! She also had helpful information for like everything I needed, such as the run sheet for the wedding, hair and make up suggestions ect!! This is one of my favourite photos from the wedding. Kate captured the energy of my relationship with my cousin perfectly. I could not have asked for better wedding photos.

Lindsay Moran

Kate is amazing to work with! I cannot recommend her enough. I met Kate for coffee to see if we would be a fit to work together for my wedding. I felt so at ease and our conversation was like we were old friends picking up where we left off. My husband and I are so uncomfortable in front of the camera and were so nervous about how our engagement session would go. Kate put us at ease. She made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing the whole time. Kate also captured our wedding. The end results of both sessions were AMAZING! We are so in love with our pictures.

Iris Moews

Kate was amazing!!! We had wedding/elopement photos taken. I was a little nervous that we would feel awkward and not natural at all. But she helped us relax and got us laughing. It was a really fun shoot and we are really happy with how the photos turned out. They are seriously magazine quality! And we have had a lot of positive feed back from friends and family who have seen them. She was great at capturing those unposed moments where you can see and feel real emotion in the shots. She scouted out a perfect location for us. I would be happy to hang any of the prints on our wall and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for couple/wedding photos. I also loved the romantic music she had playing. It was a nice touch for a wedding shoot. I can’t say enough about how great she was. Super professional but also very fun.

Kate is an incredible human and exceptional photographer. She made our entire day so special. She never posed us but offered her help and opinion when needed. Kate chose a perfect spot that spoke to the story of where I met my fiancé. It was perfect! Highly recommend!!

Ashley Hynes

Kate is AMAZING to work with such a talented photographer. She’s extremely knowledgeable and makes each session fun and unique. I won’t go to anyone else, she’s my go to! I highly recommend her

Marcus and Dorothy

We are so glad to have chosen Kate to capture us for our wedding, especially after our engagement shoot! She was super collaborative with Marcus' whacky ideas for our engagement photos and was just as excited and giggly as we were about the whole thing, while being able to capture our romance and personalities perfectly. Can't wait to work with you on our wedding day!

Jessica Rogers

Kate was amazing to work with for our family shoot! She was friendly, bubbly, made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and was amazing with our toddler who typically is super shy! After receiving our gallery I am more than thrilled with our photos and will be using Kate again hands down!

Diane Galo

Kate was so amazing from my very first inquiry to the very end and beyond. She created a comfortable atmosphere leading to some pretty amazing pictures! Definitely recommend her!

Alannah Wouda

Kate is amazing! My brother and sister-in-law recommended her and since then, she has photographed our family three times. I absolutely love the way she captures the candid moments and am always amazed at the shots she gets. Thank you for always taking such beautiful photo’s, Kate!

Alanna Mylrea

Such an incredible experience! Kate is so much fun, light, friendly, and makes you feel so comfortable. As two people who don't like having our photos taken, Kate made us feel like there was no camera there at all and we were all just joking around, which made the photos come out looking so natural and exactly what we wanted! I could not recommend doing an engagement shoot before wedding photos more! You get to learn what angles you may not like, which ones you do, and get the nerves out during the engagement shoot so that the wedding shoot feels so much easier and you know how to move your body or facial expressions that you know you will be happy with. Quality of the pictures are awesome! These are ones you will actually want to hang in your house and won't look dated in 20 years. Overall 10/10 experience <3

Yolanda Apperloo

Kate was amazing! She recently did a family photo shoot for the 6 of us! She was recommended to us by another photographer, so we thought we would give Kate a try and wow, we were so thankful we did. Her information and communication before the shoot set us at ease. The links she sent were full of all the information we needed, very professional and gave us everything we needed to know including lots of samples of her work so we knew what to expect. She was super responsive and helpful when I communicated with her via email. I was most nervous about the fact that my family was not the most excited to spend the afternoon smiling for a camera, I even bribed them with dinner out afterwards, but Kate made it easy. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, was quick, had many ways of encouraging us to laugh and enjoy the shoot. She had incredible ways of setting up shots so we would look natural and joyful. She also jumped on board when one of us had ideas for different shots. Kate's photos displayed our personalities, our character, our pets, our tractors and what made us unique. When we received the photos, there were so so so many photos, we are not sure how to pick which ones to display. I don't have enough wall space. We might have to have a rotating display. I would definitely recommend Kate!

Kate Paterson is an incredibly talented photographer! Whether it be for engagement photos or boudoir empowerment sessions, (wedding and family are next on my list!) Kate’s style is very authentic and genuine. She captures candid shots that radiate energy and emotion in every photo. The entire experience for my boudoir session was just as she describes, empowering! Kate did a phenomenal job setting up the studio to feel beautiful and seductive. Kate made me feel completely comfortable and gave me the confidence to bring out my personality that really shone through in the photos I received. She gives great prompts/ direction and is a go-with-the-flow and run with ideas kind of motivator! I would recommend Kate Paterson Photography services for any photography session, but over and over again for the Empowerment Sessions she creates for her clients!

Kayla Di Bauda

We found Kate on a whim and it was the best choice we made for our wedding so far! Out engagement session was lots of fun and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos turned out amazing and we have been receiving many compliments on the photos from family and friends. We can’t wait to see what magic she will work for the wedding day!
