What is your backup process like?
I back my raw images up to a hard drive and a cloud drive as soon as I can after the shoot, and the memory cards are not formatted until I have delivered the gallery. I also shoot with a dual-card slot camera, so your photos are always recorded onto two memory cards. Don’t worry, your photos are safe with me!

Oh, I don’t even know where to begin! Mary Kate is not only the best photographer with the most stunning photos that will leave you absolutely speechless but the kindest, most personable individual you will ever meet. She is professional but so much fun and treats you like a best friend. She is super easy to communicate with and always makes sure your thoughts are heard. She is organized and works extremely hard to provide your photos in a timely manner. Words seriously can’t describe how wonderful of an experience we had with Mary Kate. We can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Mary Kate. She’s easy going, she’s on top of it, she’s so good at what she does! From the moment we met, we hit it off and I knew I was going to book her. She made our engagement session feel like such a fun date and really got my now husband out of his shell for photos! By the time our wedding came around last month, we had gotten to know MK so well. She truly became such a good friend and was such a joy to have on our wedding day. Photos were fun and they all came out gorgeous. She captured our day so beautifully. She even let me wipe my tears on her shirt during my first look! I’d recommend Mary Kate a thousand times over and I’ll be booking her every time we need a photographer going forward!

We booked Mary Kate for our wedding and she quite literally hit it out of the park. Our photos exceeded all expectations - but more importantly, working with her leading up to our big day was a dream. She assisted in creating a timeline for us, kept us organized, ensured we were on the same page, and made sure she brought our vision to life. She is not only a wonderful vendor but she will be your friend by the end of it! We love you, Mary Kate & can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so memorable! I can’t wait to show my children and grandchildren these photos one day!

Mary Kate is the photographer every bride dreams of having! She is like having your best friend/sister be there to capture every special moment. She made the day move efficiently & effortlessly. Cole & I felt so comfortable having her around & trusted she would create magic. I am so glad I chose her as my wedding photographer!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mary Kate! My husband is not super comfortable in front of the camera, so finding a photographer that could get him out of his head was a must! Mary Kate was able to help him come out of his shell and have a good time!
She is not only a highly skilled photographer, but she will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the photos! She is much more than just a photographer, she is a personal cheerleader and genuinely cares about her couples. Couldn’t say more fantastic things about this woman! She will be our family photographer for life.
