    Super star.

    Kate was a stand-in photographer for my wedding when my original photographer suddenly had a medical issue within the week of my wedding. Although the situation was stressful, Kate swooped in and helped me feel at ease, setting up a quick coffee date with me pre-wedding. She captured some absolutely wonderful moments during my day. I only wish I had had more time shooting with her. I plan on staying in contact with her and cheering her on as she tackles ‘The Course’...stress management for brides! Check it out!!!

    Simply Wonderful

    Kate was the photographer for our wedding on Saturday and exceeded every expectation we had. She was so warm and kind and instantly made us feel relaxed and able to be ourselves. She fit in to our group so easily and everyone was commenting on how fantastic her presence was! She moved us through the posed portraits quickly given the extreme heat but still took the time to ensure everyone was captured and feeling comfortable. I truly can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her to any couple looking to capture the true experience of their day! Can’t wait to see the finished pictures!

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Grace, thank you so much for this! It was so much fun photographing your wedding - I adore your whole family and wish you so much joy.

    Outstanding Service, Skill, and Spirit

    First off, Kate is an excellent photographer. Our photos turned out exactly how we wanted them. I think largely because of Kate’s eye and skill, but she took the time to ask us about our vision and really listen to our wishes, some of which we didn’t even realise until she helped us dive in to what we were looking for! Kate’s experience, positive demeanour, and patience showed the whole day and night. The way kate helped us prep was efficient, smooth, and fun, and didn’t require much work on our part at all, which is what we wanted. She guided us through our wishes and straight to the heart of the matter when establishing our approach, which is what we asked for. I think she would be compatible with every type, from the laxidasically inclined to the bride and groomzillas. She offered the whole package, without even a hint of upselling, but we were on a tight budget and Kate made it work for us. I have seen her albums from 2 different weddings now, and they are second to none in my opinion. Kate is flexible, thoughtful, fun, creative, responsive, light hearted and just a pleasure to hang with. You surely won’t be disappointed with her level of service and quality.

    Adam, Thank you so very much! It was a joy to photograph your wedding. I have enjoyed working with your family so much and feel so grateful to know you all!

    Look no further than Sweetheart Empire

    Kate and her team are amazing. If you are considering a wedding photographer, or a family photographer, look no further. Kate will make you feel at ease. Like an old friend you've known for years. She really made the process fun and romantic from the moment we met at our consultation, through our engagement photos, and up until the delivery of our beautiful wedding album. We felt that she was just as excited for our wedding as we were, and the results are totally amazing. We really couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Joel, this is so kind. Thank you! ...You're right, by the way, I WAS super excited for your wedding, and I am so glad to have met you guys and your awesome families.

    Amazing & Thoughtful Artist

    Kate was a pleasure to work with right from the start. After admiring her work from a friends' wedding, we knew her style was what we were looking for our love story. We appreciated how she tells a story with her photography, capturing candid and heartfelt moments.

    We have had plenty of typical, looking-at-the-camera photos and wanted a different approach for our wedding event. Kate takes the time to hear your vision and works hard to ensure that those moments are taken. She is kind and flexible, which we valued throughout the planning event (engagement shoot to wedding day). Her team (the two photographers who assisted Kate) was also easy to work with. They were professional and fun throughout the day.

    Kate is an artist with a free spirit and this is showcased in her work. We were overjoyed with the final product and would recommend her talents to other brides who are searching for the same style.

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Madison, you are so wonderful – thank you! You were just the sweetest and most lovely bride, and we truly were meant to find one another. :) Blessings to you and Martin and Emily!!

    Wonderful experience!

    As soon as we met Kate, we knew she was the photographer for us! She immediately made us feel comfortable and that was really important for us on our wedding day. Through the planning process, Kate was always there for advice and feedback. We really enjoyed our engagement sessions and the images Kate captured are beautiful! Kate is great at capturing true and authentic moments and helping you really be present in the moment. On the big day, Kate was a dream to work with! We felt that everything was calm and organized with her and we felt confident that we would get exactly the photos we wanted. Our photos more than lived up to our expectations and I love that they truly help us relive all the special moments of our day no matter how big or small. I can't recommend Kate highly enough!

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words, Andrea. I loved working with you guys so much, and wish you so much love and laughter onwards and upwards!

    Highly Recommended!

    Kate was so easy to work with - she made us feel comfortable when we did our engagement photos and continued to do so during our wedding! She went above and beyond by giving us suggestions for a schedule for the wedding day based on her expertise which was incredibly helpful! Her style of photography was exactly what we wanted and we have been so happy with the outcomes so far! We would highly recommend her!

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Thank you so much, Mika! It was so much fun working together, and I look forward to speaking with you again soon :)

    When I think about my wedding, I think about 'Connection'.
    Connection for me means: The love between my husband and I, the union of our families from two different cultures, and the expansion of our network of friends and loved ones.
    After reviewing many different wedding photographers, Kate was the only one who understood 'Connection'. We met in a cute little french cafe and she learned all about my husband, our families and our friends. Our working relationship turned into a friendship and I knew she would be perfect.
    On the day of our wedding, Kate arrived promptly, met everyone present at my Civil Ceremony and blended in like she was part of the family. She was so warm and personable that we didn't even notice her taking photographs! When she left, we were all so sad to see her leave our party - Kate is an absolute gem!
    Our photographs were delivered in a timely manner and I cannot express how amazing they were! Kate's style and art captured the feeling of everyone who was present at my wedding. Every picture told a story and every time I look through them, I am able to relive my wedding day through the eyes of everyone present. They are absolutely breathtaking.
    If you are looking for a photographer who can bring life to your wedding day in pictures that encapsulates love and connection, then look no further.
    Have a coffee with Kate.. you won't regret it. :)

    Marianne, this is SO sweet! You guys are amazing, and it was my pleasure to be there documenting such an intimate moment for your families. I'm so very happy for you and Pierre!

    Never have we seen a photos capture the fun and excitement, emotion of a day. All of our guests said they were By far the best photos from any wedding They had ever seen. Sweetheart empire was more than accommodating and helped create a fun event. Sweetheart empire carefully worked with our guests to get some great portraits of our friends and loved ones. Helped keep everyone at ease. Memories for a life time and these pictures will be shown for generations to show who was part of our life.

    We showed photos to a couple on honeymoon in Hawaii after they had a proposal/engagement and they booked them after seeing how beautiful! It was hard to gush so much to a couple who just said yes but yet exciting to show them the fun that lay ahead with some beautiful proof!

    Sweetheart Empire's reply:

    Kara, thank you for your kind words! It was SO much fun to photograph your Gorgeous wedding. You guys are amazing and I'm so honoured that we got to be there to share the joy.

    Kate was amazing for both our engagement session and our wedding day, we enjoyed the experience from start to finish. She was always very warm, professional and accommodating, most importantly we could really tell how much love she has for her job and her clients. Something we really appreciated was how non invasive Kate and her team were while capturing intimate and candids moments. We were made to feel extremely comfortable, and the photo sessions felt super relaxed. We would highly recommend Kate as a photographer. Great experience, great photos and great team all around!
