When I decided I wanted to do an intimate elopement this year I really didn't know how everything would work out on such short notice. I happened upon Katie's instagram and fell in love with her photography (seriously, check it out!!). When I approached Katie with my timeline and vision, she was quick to respond and walked through all the details with me which was so appreciated. On the day of my wedding, Katie was more than just a photographer - she was so personable and felt like a longtime friend or family member, and even helped me get into my dress! While taking photos, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable (having never done a photoshoot before), and the results were amazing!! Our sneak peek photos were sent out to us within only a day or two and included such a wide selection of photos to allow us to share some right away and reminisce. The remainder of the photos (and there were TONS) came only a few weeks after. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos has complimented her beautiful work. Couldn't be happier with the results and I couldn't recommend her more! Thanks again Katie xx

Your search ends here!! Katie was so much fun to work with - her easy-going personality makes you feel so comfortable. She really cares about her clients (she reached out multiple times to offer vendor suggestions and checked in on my well-being during the pandemic). She goes above and beyond with everything she does, and she gets your pictures back quickly and they look incredible.
Seriously, book her already!

Katie is a nice girl but I would not call her a professional photographer. More hobbiest trying to make a career of photography that she doesn’t have the qualifications for.

My fiancé and I’s engagement shoot was a joke. She made little effort to stage us for images and spent a great deal of time on Pinterest trying to find images for inspiration. (Something that should have been planned prior to our session)

When she sent our photos back to us within a week, non were edited beyond some changed to black and white.

Moving forward to us having to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic she was less than accommodating. She refused to do any partial refunds of our deposit and finally agreed to a laughable amount back after a great deal of coaxing. (Less than one third of our deposit and charged for our complimentary engagement shoot $400.)

Than she proceeded to complain about the time she has had to spend finding adequate insurance for our venue. Blaming us for not informing her upon being hired. In my opinion as a business maybe that should be a question asked before taking on a client. Not professional.

I could go on further but I imagine my point has been made, fellow brides don’t hire this photographer!

Seriously just hire her! Katie is outstanding in every sense, incredibly talented and an absolute gem! To the point that I have a write a review even before she’s captured our wedding - this is one vendor you should not pass up having a part of your team.

Recently we had our engagement season with Katie in beautiful Hardy Lake Provencal Park and we cannot stop GUSHING over these photos. Katie is professional, super easy going, personable and went above and beyond our expectations. From two people who are incredibly awkward when it comes to photo’s we had very little few ideas on what wanted. Katie recommended locations, times (for best lighting), captured the most beautiful photos and moments I didn’t even know happened.

We are so grateful that she is a part of our team and cannot wait to have her at our wedding! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

We hired Katie for our wedding and the package included engagement photos as well! All I can say is WOW! From day one Katie was amazing to work with, from responding to emails to making us feel comfortable while taking photos, she did a great job. The photos themselves turned out absolutely amazing and exactly how I hoped they would. She captured the essence of what we wanted to remember about the day and every time I look at the photos I feel like I’m right back there again - as I feel it should be with any photo. Katie was fun to work with and never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. I would recommend Katie to anyone as she exceeded what we ever hoped for!

We had our wedding in Caledon and Katie was a very good choice. She was very accommodating to our needs and was very open to all of our photo ideas. It was raining the day of our wedding but she was very supported to try to make the best of it and she was not afraid to get in the rain to capture some very good shots. During the times when we were occupied Katie took the time to captures moments with our guests who all raved about how lovely she was. We are very happy with our memories of a lifetime!

My fiancé and I are having a very short engagement and wanted some engagement shots done for the venue that had foam core posters. We didn’t have much time and found Katie in the Barrie area online last minute and so thankful we did! She was able to meet us that weekend at my parents place on the lake and took such beautiful photos of my fiancé and I (where we got engaged). It was to be a short 20 minute session but she was very accommodating and patient with us to ensure we got a variety of shots in and out of the water! We had so much fun - thank you Katie!! We would love to work with you again in the future :)

Absolutely loved my experience and can’t wait to be working with Katie again on my wedding day!! Had so much fun doing my engagement session, and very friendly and personable!

Absolutely amazing experience working with Katie O’Brien - she was flexible with our busy schedules, she includes a free engagement shoot when booked for a wedding and she is so creative with the poses she had us do! The quality and quantity of the photos we received was incredible! We were able to choose whichever photos we liked best to print and there were plenty to choose from!
Katie is so easy going, friendly and professional - she was always quick with her responses to us and kept us in the loop on when we would receive our photos!
The value for her service was excellent!!
I would definitely recommend her for anyone wishing to have professional photos taken!
Check out the photos she took of my husband and I and then go look at her Instagram page @katieobrienphotography

My boyfriend and I had some couple photos done and we are in love with them!!! Katie was amazing, so easy to work with and so comfortable! We were nervous as this was our first professional shoot but Katie was so calm and made us feel right at home. We totally love our photos and are very impressed. We will defiantly be recommending Katie! :)
