nt above and beyond with the small things that are not expected in a photographer (helping with bouts, holding my dress when we were walking to photo locations). We had to scramble because of rain and our photos were outdoors, but she handled it like a true professional and we got everything done that we wanted. I truly can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a wedding photographer!

to us SO fast, I couldn't believe it! She was extremely flexible with the date and time for our engagement session which was great because we were able to adjust around the weather. I love candid photos which was what drew me to Katie in the first place, and she delivered! My partner and I are not comfortable in front of a camera, but she made the session comfortable and fun. Her pictures really capture our relationship rather than just being posed photos with forced smiles. My partner and I cannot stop looking at these photos and we are even more excited for our wedding knowing that Katie will be our photographer. Truly cannot recommend her enough!

d she was very flexible when it came to scheduling the engagement photos, planning the wedding day photo timeline, etc. She helped bring out real smiles in our photos and encouraged us to be our normal selves (so we wouldn't look too pose-y). We absolutely LOVED the work she did for us! The photos turned out amazing. I also like that she does sneak peeks of her work (she did for both our engagement photos and wedding photos) because of course we were very excited to see how they turned out! Our wedding venue closed about 5 months prior to our wedding, and when I told Katie about it, she did everything she could to help. She reached out to her fellow wedding contacts (other photographers, venues she had worked with in the past, Facebook groups, etc.) to help us find a different venue that was available for our wedding date. In fact, the venue we ended up choosing was one that she had put us in contact with, and we actually found that we liked it even more than the one we had booked that had closed! My only complaint is minor: her usual turn-around time for wedding photos is about 3 weeks, but it's been about 5 weeks since our wedding and we still haven't gotten them back yet. However, I do know that she was incredibly busy in June, and of course my husband and I are understanding. We're just excited to see them :)

ng, genuine, organized! I could go on for days! We definitely made the right choice choosing Blu Photography for our Engagement and Wedding photos!

id moments you need look no further. She is such a down to earth person and honestly she was just so calm all day that it made me calm. She just went with the flow and may have gave Kris and I some lead on what to do in some pictures, but others she was more so like act like I am not here and just be yourselves, which turned out to be some of the best pictures. She had brought her brother Bob as her second and he was just as amazing! He even helped get all of the boutonnieres on the guys and made sure even the females had all of their flowers. At the reception if guests asked if they could take a picture with me with their phone Bob was right there also capturing the photo for us. Going off of that not only did they capture a ton of pictures of Kris and I and our wedding party they also captured a lot of pictures of our guests, which was very important to me. Katie had Kris and I make her a list of every photo we for sure wanted that day and she made sure all of those photos happened. I would recommend Katie to anyone.

entures, such as riding in a horse trailer to go bar hopping. She also was not afraid to take on the rowdy group of men in my wedding party. I would highly recommend her services.

many memories captured and get back into the air conditioning quickly. We've had so many family members compliment how beautiful our pictures turned out. Thank you, Katie, for capturing our day better than I ever could have hoped for!

d wedding photos! She did a great job in catching the moments and helping us relax as a couple! She got every detail of our country wedding. The tractors, cows and our barn! We had our reception in our brand new heifer shed on my family farm and she and her brother got every detail of decoration at our reception! She is the best and does awesome work!

ough her and everything came out looking fantastic. She has a quick turnaround time for getting photos back to you. She honestly really helped the wedding day in general run very smoothly and she made sure we got all the photos we had said we wanted captured. She also has very good ideas/suggestions for poses or fun things to try for photos. We did somewhat of an unorthodox engagement photo session and she really helped us make that idea come to life and turn out amazing!!!

made us feel comfortable and took the time to get to know us as a couple. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible photographer!

s. She kept going back and forth between our separated guy/girl buildings to keep us all on the same page and to keep our wedding day running smoothly. Katie really kept me calm during some stressful moments of the day too. She really knows what she's doing in taking photos and is so awesome to work with. She has a way of capturing those special moments, small details and candid photos unlike other photographers. Those are the photos you want to look back on forever, and I am so glad I have them. The turnaround time was so quick and the photo quality is insane. Thank you Katie for all of your work! We are so glad you were able to capture all of the small details, memorable moments, and all of the smiles from our wedding. I cannot wait to look back on our photos years from now! Whenever someone is looking for a photographer, I know exactly what to tell them!

ugh good things! We are so thankful she was able to be a part of our big day and capture all the special moments! I cannot wait to see all the other pictures she took!

for someone to help us with picture ideas and making sure we captured all the moments on our special day. Katie went above and beyond our expectations, one of our favorite moments from our day was the time we had prior to our reception just Katie and us taking pictures around our reception venue. It was truly that special moment every husband and wife look forward to on their special day, a moment to take everything in and just enjoy each other while doing so. Some of our favorite pictures were taken during this time with Katie. Another one of our favorite things about having Katie as our photographer was the photo ornament she shipped us (completely unexpected), to help us celebrate our first Christmas together. Literally was our favorite Christmas gift and was so thoughtful!!! Katie, you made our day so special and we cannot thank you enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

lso extremely happy with the turnaround time. She was able to get us our entire wedding album to view in less than 3 weeks even during her busiest season! That meant a lot to me. I hope to work with her more in the future!

agement photo shoot she helped us scope out awesome locations and made us feel so comfortable. Leading up to our wedding day she promptly answered all my questions, calmed all my fears, and came a couple days before to finalize the details in person. On our wedding day she kept her calm through all the crazy and still managed to capture the most amazing pictures. Katie is so personable and really gets to know her clients which makes her so fantastic to work with. Looking through our photos she was able to capture everything so perfectly, from our emotions to all the little details. In addition to working with her on our wedding day I also worked with Katie on a boudoir photo shoot as a wedding present for my husband. I definitely was nervous before we started but Katie made everything so relaxed and even met with me afterwards to let me assist in designing the book. In the future, she definitely is the first person we would contact for all of our photos.

king around the weather to last minute details on the big day! I have to give credit to Katie for being the only one to keep my sane on our wedding day! We had spent hours scoping out the perfect spots to take pictures for the big day just to find the day of that our (maybe a little too rustic) barn had completely collapsed! Katie kept her, and my cool and found something equally as beautiful right down the road to take pictures. Fast forward 1.5 years and she was the first person I contacted when we wanted family pictures when our beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer. She made that day just as memorable as our wedding day and shared both laughter and tears with us. I truly cannot explain how grateful I am that we were able to find Katie for our wedding. She treats each couple as more than clients and is passionate about her pictures and career!

our wedding day and really made my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera! I would definitely recommend her to family and friends! Thanks again Katie!

e very reasonable. We are so glad we made the choice to have her as our wedding photographer!!! Right from the start with our Engagement shoot, Katie made me and my husband (and our energetic dog) feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the pictures turned out awesome!! We received tons of compliments just from the engagement pics, and even more compliments from the wedding photos! The day of our wedding Katie was so calm and easygoing. She knew exactly the shots I wanted and made sure she got all of them :) We are SO happy with how our pictures turned out and could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day!! Bob also did a great job assisting Katie and getting some awesome candids throughout the day. Leading up to the wedding, Katie was super responsive and helpful, answering all my random questions. Thank you Katie and Blu Photography!!! We will definitely recommend to others and would love to work with you again in the future for other photography needs ;)

d it felt like it would be easy to spend a day with her, and I think she made me and my wife feel very comfortable while being photographed. She was very willing to walk around downtown Madison for both our engagement and wedding photos. She was willing to be flexible with our pictures, but also provided some guidance when we needed it. We came away very pleased with the quality (and quantity) of the photos! =) We highly recommend!

t she got each picture we wanted and perfectly, she was the BEST choice! Each time I look through our photos, I'm immediately taken back to the day and am filled with the love I felt. Thank you Katie! We will treasure our photos forever and will forever be appreciative!

ests, she went above and beyond her duties when she stayed over her contractual time to make sure she captured our surprise gift from my mom-in-law. The UW marching band was suppose to come at 8:30pm but didn't show up until after 9:15, and Katie didn't hesitate to wait around until they arrived. In all honesty, I couldn't imagine a more perfect photographer.

t that it felt like we could hang out with her all day from the first time we met. She was very responsive in communication from the start and all the way leading up to our wedding day. We did engagement photos with her as well as our wedding day and could not be happier. Katie provided so much advice and help when needed as well as was open to any of our opinions and ideas! She was the perfect balance of professional as well as fun and flexible. She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. Both our engagement and wedding photos were ready much faster than we had expected. It’s been two months since our wedding and we are still choosing our wedding photos because they are all so perfect we can’t decide. You will not be disappointed with Katie and we will definitely be using her/Blu Photography and Design in the future! Thank you Katie!

r pictures in the future. Thank you Katie and Blu Photography & Design LLC.

capturing the moments that help us relive our special day.

tely offbeat wedding- our theme was "beauty & the geek"- and Katie really captured all the playfulness of our day as well as our unique personalities!

f our pictures. Our pictures were ready for us in a very short period of time, so it was even better that we didn't have to wait. I would recommend Blu Photography to anyone and everyone! Thank you, Katie!

ce. She even took the time to scope out our venue in Milwaukee to pre-plan what areas would look best for the pictures for the wedding. If you are looking for an extraordinary experience, we would recommend Blu Photography!

She was wonderful to work with for everything from beginning to end- engagement pics, wedding day lay out, wedding pictures, and getting prints of all those special moments!

The turnaround time is also very efficient! I would highly recommend Blu Photgraphy!
