"Every time I look at her photos from our wedding weekend, I get to relive every single moment. "

"Katie is SO incredibly talented, genuine, and kind–honestly a true inspiration. She made every moment of our wedding weekend + day so fun, and made Jack and I feel so comfortable. Katie has a true gift. She captured the most magnificent moments of Jack and I throughout our wedding weekend. WOW!! From Cisco Brewery, to our rehearsal dinner at The dreamland, our first look at Brant Point and our ceremony and reception at The galley—she absolutely crushed it!! Katie captured every single emotion that we felt. Every single photo is so magical. Every time I look at her photos from our wedding weekend, I get to relive every single moment and it makes me laugh smile and cry of happiness all at the same time! It was truly was the best weekend of our lives and I am so glad that we have all of these beautiful memories captured by Katie to look at and be reminded of for the rest of our lives.

Katie also photographed our engagement on Steps Beach, as well as my older Sister and brother in law’s engagement + wedding weekend, all on Nantucket. It is so special that Katie has captured so many major life events my family over the past few years. My family loves and adores Katie as our photographer and friend! We feel so blessed to have met and gotten to know Katie and her beautiful family, and look forward to working with her again soon! :)"

"Katie was AMAZING and everything I hoped for with a wedding photographer!"

"Katie was AMAZING and everything I hoped for with a wedding photographer! My husband and I aren’t really into serious/staged photos, so Katie was the PERFECT fit – our wedding photos are so fun, full of life, and reflective of the day’s energy. Katie (and Cary) captured the BEST candids from the day… if you just let them do their thing, you will love the results!

Also - we had several young nieces and nephews in our wedding, and the photos of the kids are INCREDIBLE. You can feel the joy in every shot, and the kids loved her (as did the rest of our families). Katie was so easy to work with – I could not recommend a better wedding photographer!"

"First and foremost, we are beyond happy with our experience."

She is incredibly thoughtful, flexible and amazing at her job. We are just reaching our 1-year anniversary and going through our photos was such a special way to reflect on the best day of our lives. And it’s not just photos of people, it’s photos of the incredibly special and intimate moments between family and friends that remind you why it’s all so important.

We got married on Nantucket and our photographer search was focused on finding someone who knows the island and how quickly the weather comes and goes. She quickly showed that she was an expert when we had our engagement shoot. It was a true grey-lady day and, truthfully, we were pretty nervous. Low clouds and mist didn’t seem like a recipe for success. But she had a plan. And this plan resulted in the most beautiful sunset picture that we will ever take. It is just breathtaking. In addition to that, our wedding day was met with the most epic storm that the island has seen in a while. In the middle of dancing, she quickly called out to my partners brother and needed us outside ASAP. And she somehow topped that breathtaking sunset photo from the engagement shoot. We honestly couldn’t believe it – it was representative of so much.

We also had a secondary focus on someone who is comfortable with shooting an LGBTQ wedding. These kinds of days involve the same things as any other wedding but there is something really important about being able to photograph intimate moments between same-sex couples. We are so appreciative of not only her comfort but her genuine acceptance and celebration of us.

Another thing that we valued was her ability (and willingness) to understand family dynamics. We took a walk with our dogs on the beach a few days before the wedding and, aside from it being a great time to spend together as a group, she really took the time to learn about the who/what/why. And none of that was forgotten during the craziness that is a wedding day.

After the wedding, she sent us the most thoughtful package. It had prints of her selects packaged in the cutest box. She also included a thumb drive of the high-res photos. Opening and going through everything felt like Christmas morning. It also made for another great Instagram post because wedding content never ends :)

From the moment we first spoke to Katie, we knew right away this was the person we trusted. We couldn’t be happier to not only have amazing photos from her but to call her a friend. And we can’t wait to see her when we are back on the island next!

"There are not enough positive things to say about Katie and her work. If you need a photographer that cares about what they are doing and is extremely talented, look no further than Katie Kaizer."

"There are not enough positive things to say about Katie and her work. We hosted an intimate wedding of 16 guests on Steps Beach. From Day 1 of reaching out, Katie was nothing short of amazing. She was friendly, communicative, open to our ideas, and so eager to make sure our wedding day was perfect. The ways in which she went above and beyond for us are countless. Not a single detail was left unattended and she had an answer for every single question we threw at her (and trust me there were many). Thanks to her passion and expertise, she made us feel completely at ease on our big day and captured every special moment perfectly.

The cherry on top of working with Katie is that when we received the full album we were in AWE! Picking a favorite photo from our wedding is nearly impossible. She captured every possible angle, every guest, and every special moment in indescribable beauty.

We cannot compliment Katie and her work enough. There is not enough room in this review to write how we truly feel about having worked with Katie. We are so fortunate that we got to work with her and attribute so much of the success of our wedding day to her attention to detail. We are so lucky to have gotten to know her, personally and professionally. She will be getting a phone call from us every time we visit Nantucket. If you need a photographer that cares about what they are doing and is extremely talented, look no further than Katie Kaizer."

"The photos Katie captured are nothing short of spectacular and full of joy. "

I cannot say enough praise for Katie and the entire process of working with her! From day one of her meeting us at our home, we immediately connected. Over the course of the year, she held multiple calls with us and also met us at our wedding venue to scout several times. We held our rehearsal dinner outdoors at my aunt's home in Nantucket on September 30, 2022, and all the photos Katie captured are nothing short of spectacular and full of joy. She so beautifully captured both the scenic backdrop and the love felt by everyone in attendance. All while she game-planned with us for the rain that was inevitably going to hit the next day. Our wedding was October 1, 2022 held at a private estate (30 shawkemo road) in Nantucket, MA. The property is vast and located on the ocean.

Our plan (right up through our ceremony rehearsal the day before) was to do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and all our photos outside by the water. Hurricane Ian however had other plans! Ultimately, our wedding day was 99% rain and heavy winds. When we realized our entire wedding and photos would need to be moved into our reception tent, this is when Katie truly showed up as the hero that she is! Throughout the morning of getting ready and making last-minute weather-related changes, Katie both took charge and rolled with the punches. As my cousin so eloquently put it: "Katie was the glue that held the wedding together!" From the moment we set foot in the house, Katie was the brightest light, never once complaining about the elements, all while ushering our family and wedding party around with ease and confidence. Her and Cary (second shooter) helped us all stay calm and positive throughout otherwise crazy weather conditions. Our joy and calm comes through in every single getting ready photo. Katie and Cary truly made the most of needing to take our formal photos inside our reception tent, using the tent décor and lighting to add dimension. Our aisle and ceremony shots captured the palpable emotion throughout our tent, and so beautifully depict the feelings of love we all felt. My favorite photos are when Katie asked “will you trust me to do some rain shots?” and we said “ABSOLUTELY” – these photos of us in the rain are pure magic. She made us smile and kept us calm throughout the wind and rain. A highlight was when she hurried us outside when we had literally 5 minutes of clear, pink sky for the most breathtaking shots by the ocean. These rainy weather shots are something out of a magazine. And finally, our dancefloor was absolutely packed the entire night, and she captured the energy of everyone perfectly. I’ve never seen such spirited dancefloor shots before!

Moral of the story: hire Katie, wherever you are getting married, but especially if you’re planning to get married outside. The Grey Lady (Nantucket) is unpredictable, and you will never regret having Katie by your side to turn rain & wind into pure magic!

"All of the photos came out better than I could have ever imagined!"

My wedding was in Nantucket, MA in August 2023. Katie photographed my rehearsal dinner at the Sconset Cafe, the welcome party at Cru, and the wedding ceremony/reception at the Sconset Chapel and the Chanticleer.
As a professional photographer myself, the most important part of my wedding was choosing the perfect photographer. I looked at multiple on and off-island photographers, but I knew Katie was the one from the second I saw her portfolio. Not only did she have the standard wedding photos (pictures of the dress, invitations, posed family shots), but she also captured the special moments in between that may have been forgotten if not for her. Katie and I spoke almost 2 years before my wedding. She was always there if I had any questions or concerns, and was extremely organized with all of the details. Words cannot express how thankful I am that Katie was my wedding photographer! All of the photos came out better than I could have ever imagined. I will 100% be contacting her again for future family photos. Since I am also a photographer, I'm not used to being the one in front of the camera. However, Katie made it super easy and comfortable for my husband and me. She also photographed my 11-year-old golden retriever, and those are photos I will forever cherish!! All of my friends and family are still commenting on not only how great of a photographer Katie is, but also how lovely of a person. I couldn't agree more!

"What can I say about Katie, she is simply the best photographer ever!"

Katie captured our engagement and it only felt right to have her capture our wedding as well. Katie has the most beautiful soul inside and out and her ability to capture the pure joy and feeling of love is truly a talent that not a lot of photographers have. She is poised, efficient and most of all, she makes everyone feel comfortable. Katie truly cares about each couple and it shows through her gorgeous work. She and her partner Cary, were so professional and the connections they are able to make with their clients is truly what makes them so special. Katie's talent shines through her amazing photos. Not to mention, she is one of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and am so honored to call her a friend.

"Friendly, Fun & Fabulous Photographer!"

When looking for an engagement and wedding photographer, we narrowed it down to a few on Nantucket, but when it came down to it, we loved Katie’s vibe and style the most! Katie has a comforting way about her and makes it so easy to talk to her about questions and concerns. When we arrived at our engagement photo shoot it was like meeting up with a friend-she made us so comfortable and made the experience so fun when it could easily have been awkward- and the photos turned out amazing!!!

After that, we were even more excited for our Wedding day and stayed in touch through the entire process. Katie is great at responding to all your random questions and she knows exactly how to handle everything. The day of our wedding Katie made us feel calm and relaxed and happy. We had become so close over the entire year long process that we were taking selfies together the day of the wedding because we love her so much! Feel confident in trusting Katie in her amazing skills and leave it up to her to figure out the best locations for your photos based on wind, lighting, background, etc. No matter how hard you try, the wedding day is always stressful with so much going on, but Katie was the one constant we didn’t have to stress about-she is a calming and cheerful spirit! We knew our wedding photos were in amazing hands and were going to turn out beautifully. Katie is an artist at what she does and we couldn’t be happier with how our special day was captured by Katie Kaizer Photography. We are in love with our photos and special memories and to top it all off we have a new friend!

"If you want a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also brings a positive and calming presence to your wedding day, look no further than Katie Kaizer and her team."

We had the pleasure of working with Katie Kaizer for our wedding on 9/16/23 at the Great Harbor Yacht Club in Nantucket, and we cannot express enough how exceptional our experience was with her. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we began planning, with Katie's clear communication and dedication to understanding our vision. She went above and beyond, even scouting locations to ensure that we could capture every detail we had envisioned for our special day.

We encountered a significant challenge when a hurricane hit the weekend of our wedding, causing numerous changes to our plans. Despite the unexpected hurdles, Katie remained incredibly supportive and flexible throughout the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Her adaptability and calm demeanor made us feel reassured and cared for, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a memorable and enjoyable experience. Katie's talent truly shone through in the photos she captured. Despite the challenging weather conditions, she managed to create magic with stunning shots of our rehearsal dinner, capturing the essence of the night and the joy shared by our closest family and friends. On the wedding day, she navigated the hurricane with a positive attitude, guiding us through different options and ensuring that we still had a variety of beautiful images. Her ability to turn adverse conditions into opportunities for breathtaking shots showcased her skill and dedication to her craft. Katie and her teammate Cary were not only professional but also brought an infectious positivity to the entire day. In the midst of a hurricane, they radiated calm and encouragement, making us feel at ease and allowing us to focus on enjoying our wedding. From capturing the intimate moments at my childhood home to the beach, town, and our venue, every photo reflected the love and joy of our celebration. One of the standout moments was the incredible sunset shots during the cocktail hour and after the storm had passed. Katie's keen eye for composition and lighting made these photos look straight out of a magazine, providing us with memories we will cherish forever. We did not have a videographer for our wedding, and honestly, we were a bit nervous about it leading up to our special day. But once we received the wedding album from Katie and Cary, any worries we had disappeared.

The album captured our day so perfectly, and now, as we reflect on our special day, we can't help but smile at all those amazing photos. Especially when we look back on all of the epic dance party shots they captured - they added such a fun and lively vibe to our memories! In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Katie Kaizer and her team for any wedding on Nantucket. Her talent, professionalism, and unwavering support turned a potentially challenging situation into a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. If you want a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also brings a positive and calming presence to your wedding day, look no further than Katie Kaizer and her team.

"Katie is simply the BEST!"

My husband and I met Katie for our engagement photos on Nantucket in September of 2022 and she was with us every step of the way, leading up to our big day at Galley Beach on 9.9.2023! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is also an absolute joy to work with and truly went above and beyond to make our entire wedding planning experience incredible. I was so impressed by her genuine drive to get to know us as a couple – we often hopped on calls to touch base about life/wedding planning updates during the off season and she even went out her way to come meet us for coffee when we'd visit the island for other vendor meetings! Katie helped us with recommendations for other vendors on Nantucket, she sought out the most perfect lighting and backgrounds for our night before/wedding day of shots and was such a help when crafting our day of timeline. The relationship we developed over the past year really helped to make our photo sessions fun and natural, resulting in the most amazing photos from our wedding weekend. Her expertise as a wedding photographer on the island is truly unmatched. We can't wait to have her capture more special moments for us in the years to come!

"Our dance floor photos will be the photos I cherish the most. Photo after photo is filled with emotion, joy, and authenticity. Katie is the best!!!!"

 While looking for a photographer for our 6/26/21 wedding at St. Mary’s and Sankaty Beach Club, we were immediately drawn to the effortlessness of Katie’s pictures. Nothing looked forced, and the personalities and the love of the couples she featured really came through. In our engagement photos and our wedding, Katie made us feel like ourselves. Our pictures all feel so natural, even the portraits. Our dance floor photos will be the photos I cherish the most. I somehow don’t remember seeing Katie and her partner on the dancefloor, which is likely why they were able to get the most incredible shots. Photo after photo is filled with emotion, joy, and authenticity. Katie is the best!!!!

"We feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Katie for two special moments in our life. She’s caring, compassionate and extremely talented! We highly recommend her."

We had to cancel our original wedding plans in Maine due to Covid, and decided to elope at home on Nantucket instead. Our first call was to Katie to make sure we could secure her for our wedding. We couldn’t feel more lucky to have been able to work with her on such a special occasion that had been quickly replanned. It was so important to us to have an album of beautiful photos to remember the day.

Upon receiving our album we were blown away with how much we loved each and every single photo. From the way Katie lights the photos, the natural tones, the framing, the way she captured our feelings and words during our ceremony and vows – we loved it all. They tell a story that we will forever cherish.

One of our favorite things about working with Katie is the way she naturally lights up with excitement and inspiration by the location and subject she’s shooting. The whole time we were all in awe of the beautiful day Nantucket had given us and we were eager to capture every moment of it’s perfection. Our wedding session was photographed all in 1 location, yet somehow she made it look as though we had travelled all over island. She captured our special moments as well as so many things that we love about this Island and it’s natural wonders.

In addition to blowing us away with her talent – Katie’s talent was recognized in an international contest! Katie won 2 awards from the National Wedding Photojournalist Association for photos from our wedding. Both photos captured very meaningful moments in our day and we are so very proud of her!!! We feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Katie for two special moments in our life. She’s caring, compassionate and extremely talented! We highly recommend her.

"Every single person I have shared my wedding photos with immediately gushes over the quality and the talent of our photographer."

Working with Katie will be the best decision you can make for your wedding!
Working with Katie was one of the first and easiest decisions we made for our June 2022 wedding at the ‘Sconset Chapel & the Chanticleer! Every single person I have shared my wedding photos with immediately gushes over the quality and the talent of our photographer.
I knew from our first introductory phone call that I wanted to work with Katie and be around the amazing energy she brought to our wedding day. She was so helpful and positive in all our pre-planning meetings and phone calls and even recommendations for some of our other vendors. We loved getting to know Katie in the lead up to our wedding so spending the actual day with her felt like spending it with a friend. It was important to us that we didn’t feel rushed between photo ops or like we spent our whole day posing for formal photos, Katie efficiently shepherded us through our shot list–even finishing portraits ahead of schedule! This allowed us to be fully immersed and present in the day of our wedding and Katie pulled us at the perfect moments for additional pictures throughout the night so we could take a minute to reflect on the evening without missing any of the fun. Katie’s joyful enthusiasm and calm handling of logistics was wonderful throughout and the results speak for themselves! We have the perfect mix of more formal photos, shots capturing everyone’s real emotions from the day and super fun candids from our dance party. I love looking back on all the moments Katie captured and especially seeing all the little bits we didn’t get to witness on the day of (like my husband getting ready with his friends and our guests arriving at the ceremony). We couldn’t be happier with Katie’s work from our wedding and hope to continue to work with her over the years for family portrait sessions!
