About

I am inspired by love, fresh air, the way the world turns to gold that last hour before sunset, sun showers, watching a groom's reaction as he sees his bride for the first time. Honestly, I'm inspired by life and everything that goes with it - the ups, the downs, and all of the in-betweens.

In photography, it is my goal to portray people the way they are. I want to get to know the people I work with. Rather than just snapping photos, I want to find out where you grew up and how you met. I want you to be able to trust me with the important task of capturing your big day in an artistic, and unique way.

Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person in the world to get to do what I love, and work with the happiest, greatest people (seriously, I have to pinch myself on occasion). If you think we could be a good fit, please feel free to contact me at my email - katie@katiericard.com. I would absolutely love to hear from you.

I am available for weddings and portrait sessions in Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas, as well as Chicago. Also 100% open to traveling anywhere you want to send me!

Katie is the best of the best!!

There aren't enough words to describe how full our hearts feel after working with Katie Ricard as our photographer throughout our engagement, wedding planning, and recent wedding celebration. Katie is one of the most talented photographers and artists we have ever met, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Her artistry is unmatched, and she has a unique ability to create beauty and capture love, happiness, and authenticity in her photos. This is evident in our collection and throughout her entire portfolio.

From the very beginning, Katie was a pleasure to work with. Her warm, inviting, and kind personality made every interaction enjoyable. She was incredibly responsive, organized, detail-oriented, and friendly, making every moment we spent together fun and exciting. Katie brought so much enthusiasm to our wedding day, capturing all of its special moments in a collection of beautiful photos.

Working with Katie felt like working with a friend we’d known forever, and that was captured via how comfortable we felt in front of her lens. Her authenticity and dedication to capturing beautiful, candid moments are evident in every shot. Our entire wedding album is stunning and something we’ll treasure forever, making it hard to pick just a few favorites because we love them all.

We wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone looking for an elite-level photographer to capture any big moment or special occasion. Katie was the absolute best to work with, and we are forever grateful for her making our day so special and capturing moments and memories that will live on in our hearts.

Katie Ricard is a real pro

Katie was the perfect photographer for our special day. I highly recommend working with her. She was organized, timely and a pleasure to work with. We had a last minute change and needed to add video to our package and Katie was accommodating and transparent. She handled everything and it worked out beautifully. Her style is beautiful and she helped us look incredible throughout the day. I hope we can work together in the future!

Most gorgeous photos in the world!

Could not recommend Katie more! I had known for years I wanted her to shoot our wedding and she traveled to Chicago without a single problem for us! She was super responsive and communicative, she was helpful in the pre-planning stages (like helping me figure out a wedding day timeline!), and she was great on the day of our wedding. She worked well in tandem with our wedding coordinator and I never felt like I had to tell her anything; she was on top of it all! She gives great direction and also captures those candid moments that you love. Her photos are drop-dead gorgeous and she turned around the most stunning little "sneak peek" gallery right away after the wedding. I haven't been able to stop looking at our photos! 20/10!!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Katie on various events and from the first 30 seconds that we met her (camera covering her face), we knew she was an AMAZING photographer. We always wonder how so many of our couples can spend a great deal having us design exquisite lush centerpieces and photographers tend to graze over the tables and room. Katie, literally, headed directly to each centerpiece knowing that there was more than one look. She went close to the floral pieces then further away then room shots. I knew the way she approached each capture that it would be great but each time we have been sent photos we are truly blown away by her work. Katie is a great person to work with, a wonderful personality and really takes her job very seriously. She wants to ensure that she captures everything that she can and does it beautifully. We definitely recommend Katie as one of our favorite photographers and are excited when we hear she will be the photographer at a special event. Katie, thank you for always making our jobs a bit easier! Your work speaks for itself! :)
