Company: Kate Elliott Photography
Tell us about yourself and your company.
I am the owner and photographer at Kate Elliott Photography. I have been a professional photographer for eight years, focusing on weddings for the past few years. My work has a romantic vintage feel and I love capturing my clients emotions and joy, and sometimes tears on their wedding day.
How did you get started?
I have always been interested in photography, ever since I was young. I entered photographs in local contests and in 4-H, getting positive feedback from everyone. I started out shooting with my parent's manual Minolta and decided to pursue photography as a career while I was pregnant with my middle daughter. What began as a small venture has turned into a full-time job that I love!
What’s the best part about your job?
I love so many aspects of being a wedding photographer! I enjoy being a part of such a special day for my clients, who are amazing! I like being my own boss and getting to do something that I have a passion for. Being in a creative line of work is very satisfying and reflects who I am. From first meeting a potential client, hearing about their wedding day plans, shooting their engagement session and getting to know them as a couple, to shooting the wedding day and meeting their friends and family, to editing their images and creating a beautiful album for them - I love it all!
What sets you apart from others in your industry?
Many of my clients have said that they enjoyed working with me, saying that I'm flexible, accommodating, professional and fun to be around. I try to make the traditional family photos go by quickly and have fun with it. I help out in any way I can on the day of the wedding. My goal is to always go above and beyond expectations and I love to get e-mails and cards from my clients thanking me for being such a great part of their wedding and capturing all the amazing moments of their day.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I love to dance and have been known to break out on the dance floor once in awhile to the cupid shuffle (with my clients permission of course) ;-)
she is a fantastic dancer ( and of course, photographer! )
