Paper Heart Photography

call she explained how it helps to meet each other ahead of time, get comfortable in front of the camera and for her to get a feel for what we're looking for. We took pictures at our favorite place, which was our undeveloped piece of land and she trudged through mud and a forest with us with a smile on her face the whole time. It was such an amazing experience and the photos came out amazing. Our experience with her at the wedding was even better - she was helpful but not pushy, helped keep us on time and really listened to us about what we wanted, but helped us be realistic about timing and what we wanted. The photos came out amazing, and she shared a sneak peek so quickly after the wedding! All in all an amazing experience!

d positivity. She made the engagement shoot with her so breezy and comfortable, which says a lot for a couple who hates our photos getting taken. Fast forward to the wedding, Kate and the second photographer, Lauren, felt like friends throughout the entire night. Again, as a couple not too fond of taking photos, they made everything enjoyable. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and the turnaround on the sneak peek and the whole batch exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved our photos and loved our experience with Kate. If you’re looking for a photographer to capture anything special in your life, look no further. I can’t wait to work with her again!

tire day. From being a trooper in the extreme heat to moving our hands to exactly where they should be during poses, Kate was amazing! She was very communicative from our first contact to keeping us updated on our final photo gallery. We love her photos and feel like she captured our day beautifully. Thank you, Kate!

nication was very easy throughout the process. Kate shot out engagement photos which turned out beautiful, she even hiked up with us on the Blue Ridge to get the shots we wanted! Unfortunately Kate got sick on the day of our wedding, but was able to coordinate a backup shooter who understood Kate's shooting style and what we wanted. Everything turned out great and Kate edited the photos and turned them around very quickly. Kate has a very friendly personality and we really enjoyed working with her!

mera. She is calm and laid back but was super organized and efficient getting through the posed pictures on our wedding day - exactly what you want in a photographer! Absolutely love the pictures we have received so far and cannot wait to see the rest of the pics in a few weeks. Highly recommend Kate for any of your photography needs - you won't regret it!

weet, understanding, and professional. The photos turned out amazing!! Getting our pictures back was quick and easy. She communicated with us about time frames, needs, etc. I’ll hide her again for all life events.

roughout the process, the system she uses is easy and accessible and she captures some pretty fantastic pictures. Kate did both our engagement and wedding photos and they are both just wonderful. We love Kate and hope to work with her in the future again. Highly recommended!

front of a camera and she made us feel at ease and truly guided us through everything to make sure photos turned out well (which they did!). She was so kind and personable that she felt like just another guest on the big day! We loved the photos we received and they greatly exceeded our expectations. We look forward to hiring her to document any future milestones.

g her to everyone I know!

pecial!

ad many invaluable suggestions and ideas for wedding-related problems that came up during the day. She truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Paper Heart Photography!

one of the best parts of our wedding!!

us so easy and fun. She captured all the details from the day so perfectly and got all the amazing shots of my groom and I. I keep looking at my photos over and over and I truly can't pick a favorite- they are all so amazing. She is worth every penny!

sh the pictures forever thanks to her! High recommended to everyone!!

te area, I highly recommend Paper Heart Photography.

during our engagement and wedding photo sessions. We cannot wait to use Paper Heart Photography for any photos we need taken in the future!

ticipated. While shooting she gave helpful prompts & direction, but not too much...so our pictures looked natural & candid. Also, we love the mix of both black-white & color pictures! Additionally, she is timely & organized- which can definitely cut down on stress during the busyness of wedding planning. Her gentle manner put everyone at ease on wedding day, while her excitement for lighting, angles & detailed shots show her true passion for photography! We are delighted with our huge selection of wedding pictures & could not be more pleased with Paper Heart Photography!

their time. I stressed endlessly about finding the right photographer- it was the most important vendor to me. I'm so glad I went with my gut after viewing Kate's gorgeous website. After our wedding, my father in law commented that he had kind of been giving her the side eye during the wedding, wondering why on earth we had chosen someone so young to capture our wedding. He then went on to gush about our pictures, compare them to every other wedding photograph he's seen, and would not stop talking about how talented she is and what an eye she has. We couldn't agree more! Throughout the day, and in our many email conversations, Kate was helpful beyond her role, flexible, calm, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. There truly is no one else who could've captured our day in the same way, and I'm so grateful that we were able to find such an amazing person to photograph our wedding. Her attention to detail was SO appreciated. We are so impressed by the way she uses light, her overall style, her willingness to be helpful and accommodating- I cannot say enough good things about her. I'm so glad that we will have this pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives, and I can't wait to have her do more pictures for us in the future.

ccommodating for the additional family/friends pictures we asked for and did a great job of making the entire operation very efficient so we could enjoy as much time as possible on our wedding day. Even better, Kate had terrific suggestions for other cute pictures we ended up taking that will now be among the absolute most memorable ones we'll have. During our initial meeting also she made very helpful suggestions for our actual wedding timeline since we didn't have a planner which turned out to be invaluable. A+!

a couple perfectly! Can’t say enough good things about her!!

rom friends and coworkers, considering our budget, and the different styles of photography. When we met Kate, we immediately felt at ease. Kate thoroughly explained what her professional expectations are and she ended up going above and beyond them! My family was in PA during the day of my bridal portraits and I ended up going alone. Not only did Kate make me feel at ease in full hair and makeup on a Monday morning but she also buttoned me into my dress! On our wedding day, Kate and her second shooter, Angela, were almost invisible to us and our guests, it is amazing how they captured the moments they did when we did not know they were there. Our bridal party and guests keep saying how wonderful Kate was - respectful and professional while still making sure they looked their best. You will not be disappointed when you hire Kate! After the wedding is all over (in just a blink of an eye), you will be left with beautiful, natural, and organic pictures to remind you of the best day of your life!

from Ohio a year ago, I was nervous about finding someone that would also fit my style. Kate was the perfect fit! She has such a bubbly personality and made our engagement shoot so fun! She had great ideas for where to shoot our pictures to make them unique. One thing that really stood out to me about Kate and it showed her pictures was her technique with the lighting/sun. Those were some of my favorite pictures! Also, her timing on getting sneak peaks and all edited photos back is impeccible! We got 30 sneak peaks back the NEXT day and all edited photos back in ONE week. I was so amazed!!! I really appreciate Kate capturing my favorite moments with my fiance! Thank you, Kate!!!

nt all over again! I was in disbelief of how beautiful our photos were! Kate made our budget wedding look like it was straight out of a wedding inspiration blog! Kate has her own unique style that sets her apart from others, and it is so fun to see her expertise in action during a photo shoot. In addition to the quality work she delivers, Kate is also a dream to work with. She is kind, responsive, and highly professional. The experience of working with Kate was worth every penny!

able to give us! She has a calming presence and gave us direction when we needed it but also captured candid moments. She made us feel comfortable both during our engagement session and on our wedding day. Kate and her second photographer, Michelle, perfectly captured the happiness we felt during the wedding day and at the reception. She was very efficient and helped us stay on schedule all day. We greatly appreciated her promptness in getting our photos back to us as well. We can't look through them enough! Thanks Kate!

oms! Thank you Kate!

eone based on their Knot reviews! I'm so glad I chose Kate! She was so fun to work with and very professional. I really appreciated that she was able to blend into the background capturing the perfect candids as well as take charge when necessary to gather everyone for pictures. If you're struggling to choose a photographer, choose Paper Heart Photography! You won't regret it! You'll meet a great person & get amazing photos at a reasonable price! Thank you, Kate!!

re-live our magical day through pictures. Thanks to them, our pictures are truly captivating. Kate and her husband are both very professional and made us feel at ease during such a chaotic day. They were able to capture our personality and captured special moments that I hadn't even thought of. This was by far best decision we could have made. Paper Heart Photography does not only capture memories through photos, but because of Kate's blog I was able to incorporate her ideas from previous experience from her blog (song, wedding line up, decoration ideas, etc). Kate is genuine, humble, and full of knowledge/experience. Paper Heart Photography is a great investment!

is so sweet and was very responsive to all my questions from first phone call to wedding day. We were living out of state and weren’t able to do an engagement session, so the wedding day was our first time really working with Kate - but you would have never known! She is so easy to work with and really makes it fun for you. Kate had never shot at our venue before, but she worked her way around the place with no problem and was able to get in a ton of shots in the short window of daylight we had. She is also CRAZY fast. She posted quite a few of our pictures just a week later! We were still on our honeymoon and I just could not stop looking at them! She did just an absolutely incredible job. My friends and family couldn’t stop commenting on them. Later, when I looked through the full gallery, I was shocked there were so many amazing moments captured that I hadn’t even realized she was there for! I really cannot recommend Kate enough. She’s a joy to work with, her price is right, and she does beautiful work.

work with. We are so beyond happy with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. On the wedding day, she helped keep us on schedule, and was so easy to be around. Everything was done on time and was handled very professionally. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a photographer!

et, and full of positive energy. I knew I chose the perfect photographer. The wedding day came, and she did such a great job with the bridal party and capturing the best moments throughout the whole day. Everyone absolutely loves my wedding photos, and I am so thankful that Kate did my wedding. I would and will recommend Paper Heart Photography for any photo needs any of my friends ever have.

elessly catching every shot we'd talked about and many more. She was incredibly professional as well, answering correspondence in a timely manner and making sure every detail was taken care of and planned out before our big day. She was hands down THE MOST AFFORDABLE wedding photographer we could find that provided the quality we were looking for in our photos. And the photos! Oh my goodness, they are perfect and beautiful in every way, extremely high quality with gorgeous editing work, and we got SO MANY for the price! Kate made my husband and I feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and made us look our best, and the results are breathtaking. Perhaps one of the best things about Paper Heart Photography is that we have the rights to every single photo taken and were provided with free unlimited digital downloads in multiple formats, and there was also the option to order prints as well. I cannot rave enough about Paper Heart Photography and Kate Marcus; if you choose Paper Heart for any of your photography needs, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

t photos and being photographed, but Kate was super relaxed and made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention, she was able to get our crazy hyper dog to sit still for some photos! On our wedding day, Kate was much more than a photographer. When my veil would not stay in my hair, Kate came to the rescue and bobby pinned it in and it stayed the entire ceremony! Props to Kate! She kept us smiling all night and from the sneak-peeks we have seen already from our special day, I am so in love with her work! If you're looking for a relaxed, professional, affordable and simply awesome photographer, Kate's your girl!

ted, I knew sh'ed be the perfect fit. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot when we had no idea what we were doing. And she was so organized and got all the requested shots during our wedding day. We have so many fun and beautiful photos now, its incredibly hard to choose favorites! Pricing is very fair for the product you receive and I would tell anyone looking for a photographer in Charlotte about Paper Heart!

ld have ever imagined! I would recommend Kate and her company to any of my friends and family! I cannot wait to get the rest of my wedding day pictures from her. Kate is very professional and made my husband and I feel very comfortable at our sessions! :)

em!

ils of my wedding. She made sure she knew about all of my decorations, colors, traditions etc. She introduced me to the idea of first look. This was the best advice I received throughout the entire wedding planning. The first look pictures are my favorite from that day!! She captured everything I hand created, all the decorations, the wedding party was captured exactly how I wanted them to be. Everything was captured!!! After the wedding I realized she captured all pictures without getting in the way of the actual ceremony, she did everything without any issues. When I received the pictures back I was overjoyed with how great the pictures look! Kate took pictures of all the major events, all details perfectly. I have received so many complements on my pictures!! I loved working with Kate she brought a smile into the room and now I have wonderful pictures of my wedding!

TAKING. I knew that when I got married I would have to look into using Paper Heart Photography! I was in luck when Kate told me she was available for my wedding day! Kate was absolutely amazing! She captured every moment and every unforgettable experience from the day. She then turned it into gorgeous memories that I will have forever. She is timely, professional, and the biggest sweetheart! You will not find a better photographer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kate! And if you are searching for a wedding photographer who will give you pictures you will die over, stop looking. Look at her pictures for yourself. You'll see. Prepare to be in awe!!

t at a Starbucks to discuss engagement pictures and we knew right away from the time we sat down and exchanged our first pleasantries that this was the lady for us! Our engagement pictures were fantastic, which surprised us since my husband and I have no idea how to pose in front of a camera at all. Kate helped us through everything until we could let loose and have some fun with it. Fast forward to wedding day - I probably emailed Kate 15 times asking what I'm sure are stupid questions but she answered everything for me quickly and reassured me of everything. Then it was the big day, she and her second shooter Michelle came in and right away fit in with all of the chaos going on. They took the divide and conquer method to get the most fabulous detail shots as well as all our getting ready pictures. From getting ready pictures, to ceremony pictures, to reception pictures I can't stop looking at. Kate is an amazing photographer as well as one of the most easy, fun, joyful, people you will ever work with. I can't wait to work with her in the future for other sessions!

f suggestions while allowing you to be in control of your photos. My husband and I are not the most photogenic people but she made miracles. I honestly cannot pick favorites from our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, or our wedding day photos. They all were amazing! Kate was able to capture some very precious moments. She know exactly what she is doing. The thing I loved the most is how friendly and down to earth she is. Not once was it awkward having a stranger take your picture for hours at a time. I will have Kate capture all of our special moments in life! I have no regrets going with Paper Heart Photography. You won't either!!

ewborn photos (I wish I had known about Paper Heart Photography for our own wedding!!) and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Kate spent time going through the style of photos that we envisioned and if we had any "must have" pictures - I was blown away when she sent me the photos she had taken. For both shoots, she took her time with us and allowed us to get comfortable so the photos never looked staged - she truly captured our feelings of love and joy in such a real and natural way. I loved how she would come up with creative ideas on the spot based on the lighting and our location at that particular time. Her attention to detail is astounding, and she is an absolutely gem to work with! Not only are her photos gorgeous, but she will go above and beyond to make your day and photo shoot as stress free as possible. You are in great hands with Paper Heart Photography!!
