    Katie is amazing!

    We feel so lucky to have hired Katie Stoops to capture our wedding day. She is a nationally acclaimed photographer and yet made everyone feel so comfortable from the very beginning. We had rain during our ceremony that was a bit unexpected and she was able to pivot seamlessly to capture all of the photos we'd hoped for. We just received our full album of wedding photos, and felt that the photos truly captured the energy and joy of the day. 10/10 recommend - you will not regret it. Hiring Katie was one of our best wedding planning decisions.

    Katie is the best!

    When it came time to find a photographer, our wedding planner sent us Katies website and we are so glad she did!
    Not only is Katie insanely talented, she is also incredibly nice and funny. By the end of our time working with her, she felt more like a friend than a photographer we hired to take our pictures. She put my husband and I at total ease during all of our portraits and blended in seamlessly when photographing everything else. She captured all of our must haves and got wonderful candid pictures of our guests. We We got married in October and received our pictures on Christmas Day(talk about the best Christmas gift ever!) some might consider that a long time to wait, but I promise it is worth it.

    Let me save you time...Katie is incredible, hire her now!

    Our pictures turned out so beautiful! We cannot express how thankful we are that we found Katie!

    We knew from the beginning that the right photographer was critical to capturing our perfect day, and we actually interviewed 8+ photographers during the process. Kate was already on our shortlist as we had seen her work at a friend’s wedding, but she was also highly recommended by another photographer who we had spoken to first, who was unavailable for our date. Once we got around to talking with Katie, it was very clear that she was the photographer for us, and this is absolutely reflected in the quality of work that she delivers.

    Katie’s passion and unique...

    I don't even know where to start to express how much we love Katie. She's officially become a part of our family!

    I found Katie through a google search of the top Washington,DC/Northern VA area photographers and after perusing Washingtonian Bride & Groom Magazine. After seeing her portfolio she was one of my top choices. But it was when we chatted on the phone that I knew we had found our photographer! We hit it off immediately and I really appreciated the questions she was asking as well as advice she was willing to give me, even though we hadn't signed a contract.

    We booked Katie for her full-service wedding package that includes 10 hours. You...

    Katie shot my daughter's wedding in Asheville, NC in November, 2017. Finally we are getting around to ordering our album. I just want to say that this company does things right. We have wonderful images of each of the myriad events she documented for us. I have vague memories of there being photographers at the wedding, but the shots they took make my memories of those events come to life. Thanks, Katie, (and crew), for your wonderful work. Can't wait for the book!

    Katie is without a doubt one of the most talented wedding photographers in the country (just google her!). But, when you meet her, she is so humble and sweet you feel as though yours is the only wedding she is shooting for the whole year! My husband and I had to make last minute, day of changes to our wedding schedule based on the weather forecast and Katie jumped right in and hustled all day and night to make sure we had every last pose and detail captured despite the weather. I would absolutely recommend Katie to capture any couple;s most important day and they would be lucky to have her. I would love to work with her again someday!

    Photography truly is the most cherished part of documenting your wedding day and my one recommendation is not to compromise on it. I researched 10 different photography vendors and Katie was admittedly the most expensive but no one else really can compare to the quality of her work. Her photos are beyond gorgeous and her her unique perspectives really remind you why photography is an art. She is responsive via email (usually within 1-2 days), she makes sure to capture all those little details you worked so hard to incorporate but didn't have a chance to even think about the day-of and she will even help you execute unique requests you want to include (such as setting up an...

    My husband and I chose Katie to be our photographer after meeting her at two family friends' weddings and seeing the amazing photos from both (and after seeing how much the couples she worked with loved her). We did our due diligence and had looked at some other options, but nothing compared. She is wildly talented and has an incredible eye. The photos she took from our engagement session are phenomenal, and she showed us a few from the wedding, and we were equally impressed. We are so excited to see the rest of them. Beyond that, Katie is so fun and nice and just great to be around. We felt completely comfortable around her - which is important...

    We were told the most important vendor to choose after your venue was your photographer, because the good ones book up early. Katie Stoops was the first on our list to call. We knew by looking at her online portfolio that she was extremely talented and we liked the fact that she used both digital and film, but it was icing on the cake when she came to meet us at our apartment (about a two hour drive away from her home) and greeted us with Georgetown cupcakes. Not only were the cupcakes delicious, but Katie's personality was wonderful and she got us even more excited about our wedding. Needless to say, after that visit, my husband and I...

    Katie was the photographer for our wedding recently. She is extremely friendly, professional, and her photos are fantastic. We haven't seen our finished product yet, but if her prior work is any indication, we will be thrilled.

    Katie Stoops did a wonderful job at our wedding! Our photos are beautiful and we couldn't be happier with them. She captured all of the details, personal touches and moments that we wanted. She was professional and not at all intrusive. We found Katie to be responsive and helpful as we planned our wedding from out of state. We highly recommend Katie Stoops Photography!

    Katie Stoops was the most important part of planning our wedding - I have ALWAYS been a fan of wedding photography, and had been a fan of Katie's for a while now. Making sure she could be part of our special day was a TOP priority. She was friendly, professional and made us feel so comfortable on a day that could have easily been stressed to the max. The finished photos were exactly what I wanted and will be cherished in our family forever. She is a true artist and I am honored to have her work displayed in our home. Cannot thank her or recommend her more...

    Katie was professional and awesome! She captured the wedding festivities so perfectly and I was beyond happy with the photos. After seeing her blog I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding, so we picked our wedding date based on her availability. You can't go wrong! :)

    Katie Stoops is awesome! She has such a unique and artistic eye for photography, with an admirable comprehension of light and composition (check out her website and you will see exactly what I mean!). She and Erin were professional, and yet both incredibly relaxed and personable and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Katie showed us a few photos as she was taking them and they looked AMAZING... I love her and I can't wait to see more of our photos! :)

    I'm not sure what I can say about Katie and her work that hasnt already been said in these wonderful reviews. From the start Katie responds within minutes to any email- i think the longest she took was 2 hours and it was only because she was traveling- i dont even get responses from my friends and family that quickly! She is so patient and truly is there solely to please the bride (and groom). With my massive family, and our wedding party of 10 attendants each, it should have been every photographers worst nightmare but Katie was so amazing with everyone (even when everyone was voicing their opinions) and constantly made sure that I got every shot that...

    Katie Stoops is an amazing photographer and incredibly talented. Her work at our wedding was STUNNING in every way. One of the very best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring her as the photographer. No matter her rates, which I thought were very reasonable, she is 100% worth it in every way and is sure to be one of the most sought-after photographers in the business. Not only is she incredibly artistic, but she was also prompt in editing and sending the pictures after the wedding (a rarity, considering my friends' post-wedding experiences). I cannot say enough good things and recommend her unequivocally. If you are lucky enough for her to be avaliable on your date, BOOK HER immediately.

    I cannot say enough good things about Katie. Not only was she adorable, sweet and so easy to work with she completely exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding pictures. The style is irreverent and fun and the pictures really do the whole day justice. I could not be happier about choosing katie. If you don't choose her as your wedding photographer, you are missing out!

    I knew pretty early on that I wanted to hire Katie for my wedding. Having looked at tons of wedding blogs and wedding photography blogs, Katie's style and personality really fit me and my husband. Our engagement session with her was super fun and it made it so much easier when she arrived on the wedding day. When Katie showed up, it was like my friend was there to take pictures of us and hang out. She was so much fun to work with and I can't wait to see all of our pictures and make our album!

    I have absolutely nothing but really great things to say about Katie's work. My husband and I both absolutely loved her as a photographer and were incredibly happy with our pictures. She went above and beyond what we would have expected in so many ways. For example, she met us a few months before our wedding at our venue when we were in the area and did some trial shots on her time for no additional charge, she was very creative through the entire bridal party/bride groom shots (which can get a little tedious from others I've seen) and she kept us laughing and in good spirits throughout the entire day. If I were going to do it all...

    I couldn't say enough great things about Katie Stoops. She's professional, patient, oh and yea, she does amazing work!! I fell in love with Katie Stoops Photography the moment I visited her website. Everything she does is so unique, classy, and beautiful. She truly knows how to capture the natural beauty and moments that are surrounding her.

    Even though we weren't local she was more than happy to shoot our wedding and after speaking with her, no place is too far for her to travel. She loves her job and it shows in the wonderment of her work. Thank you again and again to Katie Stoops Photography for giving us a chance to utilize your gifted talent to help capture one of the most prized moments of our lives!

    Katie was amazing. She takes wonderful photographs that are creative and classic, and are so much better than many photograph samples we looked at when choosing a photographer. Also, her price was very reasonable for the value and exemplary job she does. She was also very flexible with us, traveled out of her way without any additional cost and was easy to work with. We added one of her assistants to our package for the day which was well worth it and I can attest to the fact that we have a large group of wonderful photos to commemorate our day. We are so happy with them and would recommend Katie to anyone!

    Katie is absolutely amazing as a photography and as a person. She is so sweet, kind-hearted and personable. We had an absolute blast working with her on our engagement and wedding pictures. You could not ask for a better photographer. I really cannot say enough good things about her. For couples looking for a photographer, HIRE HER immediately. It will be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day.

    For our engagement session, she made us feel totally at ease and comfortable. She even helped me pick out my outfits based on what would really "pop" in pictures. Our engagement images are STUNNING. The way she views couples and their surroundings is so...

    I am so happy to have found Katie to be my wedding photographer. I adore her and her work and have recommended her to many people already. There is something really special about Katie. She became my rock during my whole wedding process. I, like many people don't really like getting my picture taken but ended up doing an e-session, bridal session and my wedding with Katie. I swear each picture was better than the next! We became great friends during the process and I am constantly amazed by her talent. She was awesome to work with, she exceeded my expectations and I could not have asked for a better experience. She is professional, timely, well priced and beyond...
