LOVE NOTES

“Looking for & booking a photographer for your wedding feels like the biggest decision, and can be very nerve racking. It was something I had a very difficult time with. But I can't stress enough how insanely grateful I am that I chose Poppy & Vine. It wouldn't have been the same without them. When I had my first meeting with Katie, all of my worries were at ease. I can not recommend Poppy & Vine enough! Katie & Joseph were so professional and easy to work with. They were punctual and make you feel very relaxed on your special day. My husband and I were concerned about our family portrait pictures taking too long for our impatient family who was wanting to celebrate the big day, but Katie & Joseph were so prepared and made it run so smoothly. We were so impressed with their ability to capture the feeling of our day, and making everyone (including our guests who are a bit camera shy) very comfortable. They are extremely easy to work with and are very accommodating to each individuals needs. I am so so SO grateful they were able to be apart of our wedding day, and were able to bring such a special touch to it all. They really listened to what we were looking for and provided just that. I'm thrilled with the photo results and I can't wait to see what they look like printed out!”

“I could go on and on about what a wonderful experience we had working with Poppy and Vine!!! My husband and I are not the type to ever take photos of ourselves so the thought of wedding photos was daunting. From the first time we talked with Katie and Joseph we immediately felt comfortable. They told us their vision is to capture the day genuinely, not through stiff, posed photos. And capturing genuine joy is their gift!!! We were blown away by both our engagement and wedding photos. The joy and love they captured while we felt like we were just having fun is truly amazing! They are the perfect duo of excellent wedding advice, excitement building email threads, and insanely efficient photo sessions. In the moments leading up to the ceremony Katie snapped some photos of the girls and then asked me, “are there any other specific photos you want or would you like to spend some time with your sisters?” That question meant so much to us and really shows how much Katie and Joseph truly believe in the beauty and importance of marriage. We couldn’t be more grateful to have met them!”

“WOW! Katie and Joseph were amazing to work with. They truly made us feel so comfortable and excited for all of our photos. They shot our engagement photos and our wedding day. They made posing for our engagement photos so fun and natural. When the wedding day came around they worked with us to capture all of the special moments. We truly feel like our wedding day would not have been the same without them. Because of Katie and Joseph we now have beautiful photos to remember this time of our lives by! 10000/10 recommended using them for all your photography needs.”

“There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding and I was totally overwhelmed! When I started to chat with photographers, I felt like I was being sold a package. Besides the fact that Poppy and Vine's packages were a very responsible investment, Katie and Joseph shared a bit of themselves and their vision and I instantly felt at ease! They were so extremely easy to be with on our wedding day and so in tune with us as a couple. A wedding is so incredibly personal and looking back I didn’t even realize how critical a photographer choice was, but we hit the jackpot. I can’t wait to use them for every major life event to come! Thank you you two! I will forever be thankful for our photos capturing all the magic of the day.”

”So So So Wonderful.
Thank you Katie and Joseph for our beautiful photos. They are perfect and my husband and I will cherish them forever.
Poppy & Vine provides professional and stunning photos and are willing to get that extra special shot for you.
The fact that the couple is married and know exactly what planning a wedding takes, makes them all the more perfect for taking your wedding photos. Also, they are just so sweet and have wonderful personalities! It was so relaxed and easy having them take our photos. They helped guide us and direct us, while still keeping our vision. Having 2 shooters is a definite plus!!

I will definitely have them shoot photos for us again!!
Michael and I can't thank you enough, Katie & Joseph!”

“Katie truly captured what my fiancé's and my relationship is all about, and we met her for the first time on the day of the photoshoot! She truly has an eye for creating beautiful, natural-looking images. We were shy and awkward at first but Katie and her husband Joseph offered us fun prompts and games to help us come out of our shells. We're having a hard time choosing our favorite photos because we love them all. We can't recommend Poppy and Vine enough!”

“These two humans are so humble, genuine, caring, and dedicated to people and the work they do. It is evident throughout the photo taking process and your final products how much they care. Katie & Jo have taken all of our important life photos thus far, and will have no choice but to continue to as long as we live near them!! With Poppy and Vine you will have an amazing experience shooting, as Katie & Jo make you feel so comfortable and will bring lots of humor and joy to any occasion - guaranteed. They are also really great at listening to what YOU want. Whether it was our proposal, engagement shoot or last minute COVID wedding, Katie and Jo were able to capture every special moment in a way that highlighted the love and emotion of each. The photos we have received from them we will treasure forever! My husband and I so encourage you to reach out and get in touch with Poppy and Vine, they are wonderful, sweet humans and are very gifted photographers.”

They are so fun, easy-going and professional and make the whole experience an absolute joy! I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture my engagement.”

Super enthusiastic and they obviously love what they do! I highly recommend them for anything with photos! We will be hiring them for maternity photos and newborn photos and whatever else comes along! Loved them!”

“Katie. Is. The. Best. My fiancé and I had our engagement photo shoot with her, and we could not have been happier with the results. Katie edited and sent us the photos so quickly, and they were all so beautiful, it was so hard to choose the best ones. She captured the best moments and more that I didn’t even remember. During the actual shoot she is so fun to work with. She asks you questions and has little mini games to make you laugh to get great candid photos out of you easily. She also asked us what we envisioned and had in mind for our shoot, and we were able to give input, which was so special. My fiancé and I can’t recommend Katie enough. Book her!!!”
