"Katie did a wedding shoot for my wife and I and we couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out, and how Katie was. She brings all the energy keeping you comfortable in front of the camera on your big day. Not only did she do a AMAZING job with photos, she sent us a care package after we signed a contract with her and once more after our 1 month of being married. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients and will certainly be calling her back for more photos in the future!"

She brings all the energy...

"Katie is an absolute joy to work with! She is incredibly organized, easy going, and punctual which was exactly what my jumbled mind needed to stay sane during the planning process and the actual wedding itself. As a bonus, we got our entire gallery back in record time. We are so so thankful for Katie and the hard work she put in to capture our most cherished memories!"

We are so thankful for Katie...

"Authentic Radiance made my wedding what I had dreamed of my whole life. The attention to detail, personable experience, and professionalism were far beyond everything I could’ve imagine my photographer to be. I cannot recommend Katie enough. She cares about the wants and desires of her clients and makes sure that she delivers. I will definitely be booking any future photoshoots with Authentic Radiance!"
