“We LOVED working with Katie!! We had a long engagement, and actually hired Katie nearly two years before our wedding since we knew we wanted to have her photograph our wedding weekend! We met with Katie many times before our wedding this past June – she was always super responsive and always made time to meet with us when we were on Nantucket! She was SO great to work with for all of the events (she photographed our rehearsal dinner, lawn games/BBQ day, welcome night and wedding). Katie (and Cary as her second-shooter for the wedding itself) was amazing at capturing the entire weekend as we remembered it – it’s been so fun to go through all of the pictures she sent us! We would highly recommend Katie and would most certainly use her again!!”
Angelina & Lindsey 2017
“Katie is incredible. She is very easy to work with and so fun to have around. She is very responsive and great at communicating. You feel so comfortable that you forget she’s working and not just a friend or family. Our wedding elopement on the tiny remote island of Tuckernuck this past June was captured so perfectly. Having Katie join us for the day, taking our boat over to the little island, and having an easy going day with a bbq, games and some fishing with our family was the best decision we ever made. Our photos are perfect, she is so incredibly talented. Best decision!”

“Katie is amazing!! She took so many pictures! We got married in Roatan, Honduras. She flew from Nantucket. We have so many pictures that are awesome, its hard to pick a favorite. I was always told that photos are one of the most important parts of your wedding. She definitely fulfilled that! She also is just such and interesting person! Being a destination wedding we all spent a lot of time together. She was there for all the important moments and ran into each other on the beach at times, always had her camera on her to capture any moment she could. Even at the airport when she landed, the majority of our guest were on her flight. We met them at the airport, she captured all the joy of our families landing as we passed out welcome bags. She got some amazing photos of the culture of Roatan, why we love the island so much.”

“As the father of the bride I can say that the photos you captured are a priceless gift given to me. It’s all I ever wanted and more from this most special day. My wife Mary-Jo and I keep the book of your wedding photos close by and we get to look at them daily and it brings the most incredible smile and tears at the same time to us as we can relive that most incredible day you so magnificently captured forever for us. Fast forward a month. A year. Or into the future on Brittany’s and Jonah’s 5 year anniversary and beyond…..you won’t remember the flowers. You will have forgotten the songs played and you danced to. You won’t remember what you had for dinner. All you have to bring back those incredible memories are the beautiful photos captured by you! The McCann’s favorite, Katie Kaizer.
When we use the word photography it doesn’t really do justice to your work because honestly your talents are an art form no different than the finest Picasso painting. I have seen endless friend’s wedding books of their kids big day but none of these can live up to what you created for Mary-Jo and I. Everyone has the normal photos. . . but you were able to spend three days with us and capture all those behind the scenes moments where the laughter, tears and the fun happened. We are so incredibly thankful you captured it for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Your skill and ability to capture those crazy, emotional, or silly moments are the best of the best!
You became part of our family forever through this process and I cannot thank you enough for capturing one of the memorable events in our families lifetime! All I can say from one happy dad is THANK YOU!”

“I absolutely loved everything about working with Katie! She made everything about my wedding day and the experience leading up to it beyond special and amazing. She was very thoughtful about how we approached the big day and was sure to include absolutely everything I wanted. Throughout the entire wedding planning process and day of, Katie was so upbeat and cheerful, and my entire family and wedding party also loved her. She made me feel at ease about everything, and I will definitely use her again for family portraits next time I am in Nantucket. She’s the best!”
Kelly & Allan 2016
“Katie Kaizer was beyond amazing from the moment I started working with her (about a year ahead of my wedding). She was in constant communication to make sure I was comfortable and planned a fantastic engagement shoot leading up to the wedding. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful ceremony at the Chanticleer followed by a reception at Wade Cottages, and a magical parade through ‘Sconset between the two locations. We ended the night with an amazing sparkler sendoff. The whole day was a fairytale, and Katie was there to capture it all. Her impeccable attention to detail, kind demeanor, and organized fashion make her the perfect photographer. She and her second shooter, Cary Tozer, were there to capture every candid moment. No amount of space limited their ability to get a great shot. They were able to be a part of the magic without being seen or heard. Everyone commented on their skillful maneuvers amidst the dancing in order to capture the action.
I could not have asked for better photographers, and these beautiful shots are proof of it! Thank you Katie for helping to capture the greatest day of our lives so flawlessly.”

“Bottom line up front – Katie crushed it. Our picture’s are amazing and we are still in contact today. She turned what could have been a very awkward/sterile environment into something so fun and personal.
Now let’s start from the beginning… Katie was immediately so easy to work with, whether it was my parents reaching out or just my wife and I. She wanted to know all about us, what made our relationship tick. Having never been married before…I clearly had no idea how this process worked. Katie walked us through everything step by step, well honestly, we didn’t even have to think, obviously the best part. Day of, Katie and her associate, Cary Tozer, were absolutely on top of documenting every little detail, from rings to the needlepoint belts my mother handmade that the guys wore. My wife and I elected to do a “first look” so that we could get a majority of the pictures taken so that we could enjoy happy hour, i mean cocktail hour. That was one of the most special parts of the whole wedding, and Katie directed it beautifully. We had a perfect day and all of the photos, from the pre-wedding ones at Brant Point to the ceremony at Nantucket Yacht Club to the dancing and sparklers, showed it. I just cannot get over how many good photos there are. Months later, my father still goes through them just to relive the day. And I’m not going to lie, I do NOT take good dancing photos, but Katie managed to get a few!
I also think one of the best things to come out of this relationship is that it is a relationship. Katie and I are still in contact today. The photos from my wedding pop up all over the place! From Instagram to N Magazine to a Huffington Post article! If anyone is still reading, Katie helped me document one of the best days of my life, in the most special place in the world. Hire her!”
Kate & Roddy 2016
“Katie Kaizer was fantastic and a pleasure to work with — from our engagement photos to our actual wedding day. She was very responsive from the moment we chatted with her about photographing our wedding; she took our requests on board and made it fun; she was detail oriented, professional and simply wonderful. At the wedding, you hardly knew she was there and yet, she captured the most wonderful moments!! I highly recommend her!”

Eric & Paul 2016
“Katie was an incredible photographer. It wasn’t until my wedding day that I realized how important her role is – she’s not just taking photos, she’s the last person the you spend time with right before you walk into the ceremony. It’s her role to psych you up, calm your nerves, and make you realize that no matter what preparations you’ve taken up to this point, it’s all about to be perfect. Katie made us feel so comfortable and excited as we walked into our huge day, we can’t thank her enough. Oh and also, the photos were incredible! So great, in fact, that the pics were featured in a local wedding magazine! Go Katie! I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Charlotte & Clayton 2016
“Katie was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We chatted on the phone or met in person multiple times over the course of a year and a half leading up to the wedding. She was very attentive to details, knew best shooting locations on the island as a native Nantucketer, and made a clear effort to get to know us as a couple in order to reflect our relationship in the photographs (which she did). During the actual day, she kept us laughing, and our bridal party kept commenting on how fun and organized she was without being pushy or overbearing. Katie turned around the final suite of photographs in a very short period of time, and we were all–from family to friends–extremely pleased with her work. She captured the spirit of the wedding: personal, intimate, but also incredibly joyful, energetic, and fun. Everyone who has seen the photographs has said how gorgeous they are, and we couldn’t agree more!
I highly recommend Katie to any bride and groom–you will not be disappointed!”

“There are not enough good things to say about Katie Kaizer Photography. If something could go wrong on a bride’s wedding day, it did, but Katie was a reassuring voice on the other end of frantic phone calls. Her flexibility and professionalism are to be admired and hard to match. Katie was constantly in contact up to and including our wedding day. For example, we had to make a switch due to the weather and the day before the wedding Katie was able to talk me through shadows and the best positioning of the ceremony, one detail many brides are left to figure out on their own. Her advice and knowledge helped us with the decision to move the wedding with ease and she reduced our stress tremendously. Aside from our conversations about photos and shadows, Katie was encouraging, reassuring, and always one step ahead of a bride’s fears (anticipating their worries with multiple solutions).
Katie took what we wanted and created memories that will forever be captured in the photos. Her and Kathryn captured more than we could have ever imagined- embracing the beauty of the windy/rainy weather and creating these beautiful photos we will cherish forever. For two people who are uncomfortable in front of the cameras, Katie and her team were able to capture these pure, genuine moments that captures everything that is us and our family/friends. We were overly impressed with her professionalism and talent.”

“When planning a wedding some decision are difficult, some are not so difficult. For us choosing the photographer, while one of the biggest decisions, was an easy one. We had been lucky enough to meet Katie and see her work before when she photographed my parent’s summer White Party. We loved her work and when we started planning our wedding we knew without a doubt we wanted Katie to shoot our wedding day.
Leading up to the wedding Katie had done her homework, she had met with us a few times to get a sense of who we are and what we wanted, she she had scouted locations, checked sunset times, checked weather and wind forecasts and then went and re-scouted secondary locations based on weather forecasts. Ultimately though, she was game for whatever we wanted to do despite the wind and weather. The day of the wedding she kept the vibe upbeat and fun, always smiling and laughing. She kept everything going at a good pace, made a concerted effort to get to know everyone’s names and maintains a friendly, composed and professional demeanor. She had another photographer, Cary, assisting her, their communication was seamless and they worked together very efficiently. She was also incredibly patient while working with some of our bigger group shots.
As far as her product, the photographs are amazing. I don’t need to tell you how great they are, they speak for themselves. She has a great eye for catching special moments, details, scenes and light. She is also really great about using social media to provide you with early sneak peeks (we had some of our first shots on Monday early in the morning) and creates a blog that can be shared on Facebook. The blog was a great way for us to see and share some more early pictures. Our family and friends loved the blog and it was a way for many others who couldn’t be there that day to see and share our day. I can say we were completely satisfied and happy well beyond our expectations.”

“We absolutely loved working with Katie Kaizer, and would give her (and her second shooter) 10 stars if we could! Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, she is incredibly professional, responsive and such a happy person who clearly loves what she does!!
We hired her for an engagement session, our rehearsal event at the Dreamland Theater and the wedding day itself (reception at The Whaling Museum), and have the most beautiful photographs from each session (we’ve received so many compliments and could not be happier with the quality). Katie was really helpful in selecting locations for the photos for our engagement session and first look photos. She knows Nantucket really well and is always focused on getting the best possible shot. Katie is also really flexible…when we asked if we could bring our dog Belle for the engagement photos, she said “no problem, I love dogs.” When we said we’re going to have 5 flower girls and 2 ring bearers in the wedding party, she said “no problem, kids are so much fun!” We talked and met several times leading up to the wedding, and each time she was easy to reach, very responsive and so helpful. She even came to our ceremony venue the week of the wedding at the time of our ceremony to check the position of the sun and help us think about how to set up the benches. We consider ourselves very lucky that she was available for our date, and are thrilled with the quality of her work.”

“Katie Kaizer is so incredibly talented. Her work stands apart from others as she has the ability to capture the emotions of those she is photographing which is priceless when you look back on your wedding day/engagement/family portrait session photos. Her journalistic style tells a story. Not only does she capture her subjects living in the moment, but also has this unique eye to take advantage of surrounding elements and landscapes and builds these into the pictures.
Katie is very professional and organized. She was super responsive any time we had questions on the upcoming day and even met with us in person to gain an understanding of how we wanted her to capture our day as well as developed a timeline that worked best for us. She is great at scoping out locations to shoot and will find locations that work best based on how the weather is behaving (for example, when she photographed our family portrait session the night before the wedding, it was really windy and she found a spot for us that worked best where we were protected from the wind). She also found really unique spots that allowed her to capture the best light (for our engagement photos, she suggested the evening so we could take advantage of the sunset). When I look at the wedding photos, I don’t even remember Katie taking the candid photos as she has a very non-obtrusive/non-distracting style (for example, the first look with my dad, the ceremony itself, first dances, toasts).
Katie is such a positive and fun person and this really made our day extra special. When you meet her, you will feel like you have known her your whole life. She has a passion for what she does and it clearly shows in her interactions with others and in her photos. We have received so many compliments from our friends and family on these photos. Katie captured our day perfectly. Check out her blog and you will see how incredible her work is.”

“Katie Kaizer is an amazing photographer, capturing every moment of our day so beautifully. My husband and I worked with Katie for our engagement photos as well as our rehearsal dinner and wedding day on Nantucket. Not only is she extremely talented but she is equally professional and kind. We could not have felt more at ease and comfortable in front of the camera and that is all thanks to Katie!
I came across Katie’s work in many Nantucket magazines and a quick google search. We had a telephone call to discuss our plans for the upcoming wedding and felt it was a perfect match. We first met for engagement photos on Nantucket the weekend before Daffodil festival, and Katie had the perfect shots in mind. She captured us and the island so beautifully.
Throughout the year we emailed and phoned to talk about wedding details for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, including a timeline of the day/evening to keep us organized. Living in London, we were initially concerned about planning with the distance and time difference, but it could not have gone more smoothly. Katie also knew and had worked with most all of our vendors which made us feel even more at ease! Once we arrived on island, we did one last meeting over a coffee to run through the final details. Everything ran according to plan and we were eager to see the photos! Katie emailed us within the next week with our much anticipated blog post followed by a flash drive and beautiful photo of us within a couple of weeks. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime!”
Holly & Steve 2013
Our wedding took place in Nantucket, MA in the fall. Our ceremony was at the Siasconset Chapel and the reception immediately followed at Sankaty Golf Club. Katie was phenomenal. Our pictures are truly amazing and everybody who views them are always blown away. She captured EVERYTHING and did it with a huge smile on her face. We loved how quickly she whisked us away between the ceremony and the reception so we wouldn’t miss out on our day and all of our 170 guests. She captured moments we didn’t even notice she was getting. It was such a pleasure to work with Katie and everybody loved her. I have attended weddings where the photographer takes a long time to get all of the group shots and is sometimes in the way of all the fun… Not Katie! She was part of the fun and hardly noticed at the key moments. We could not be happier with her work. Every bride and groom should be so lucky to have her!

Andrea, Mother of the Bride
Katie was recommended to us by the caterer for my daughter’s wedding. From our first communication with her, Katie was just a pleasure to work with. We especially loved her journalistic style of photography, as she captured what appeared to be truly spontaneous moments that told a personal story of the day.
On the day of the wedding, all of our guests commented on how great she was, never interrupting the action, but always catching the great smile or unscripted special moment. Our wedding parade through the old town on cobblestone streets was a unique experience for us all, a highlight of the day, and the photos capture the spontaneous joy of the entire wedding party.
My experience after the event has been equally positive. Producing a wonderfully evocative blog soon after the wedding to share with our friends and family, Katie has continued to be responsive and professional. I recommend her wholeheartedly with no reservations! The Mother of the Bride!
