You said yes! I hope you've taken a moment (or more) to soak in this new season in life!

Engagement is such a unique time to grow as a couple towards your vocation but can easily become consumed by wedding planning.
That's where I come in. I want you to be able to enjoy this unique time in life by using my expertise to create a more joyful planning process. I will help with your wedding day timeline, down to helping you remember the beautiful day that you two became one.
because how else am I supposed to be your hype woman if we don't really care about each other?
I don't want our relationship to simply stay on the client level, I actually want to be your friend...
Finding someone who creates images you adore, someone you trust, and someone you ENJOY being around. As a married woman myself, I know all the wedding feels and always want you to feel your absolute best whether it's during our consultation calls or when I'm photographing.
It's easy to find someone who can take your wedding photos. What's not so easy?

We absolutely LOVE the beautiful moments that Kate captured for both our engagement and wedding sessions!! Kate is so talented, personable, genuine, and fun!! We HIGHLY recommend Kate Alley Photography!"
"Kate is so talented, personable, genuine, and fun!!
I hired her to be my wedding photographer and not only was she a dream to have around on the wedding day, she was also incredibly accommodating and kind through two covid-related reschedules. And to top it off, she got us our whole gallery in one week. 10/10 for Kate!
I would absolutely recommend Kate for any photography needs!
She's very professional and made everyone feel at ease. We are delighted with how our photos turned out and we highly recommend her.
Kate did an incredible job on our wedding photos!
Once we make initial contact, I'll ask you some questions to get to know you. Then we will set up a time to talk so you can get to know me! If we seem like a good fit and your date is available, you'll be booked!!!!

the process
Whether it's your engagement session or wedding day this is where all the fun happens!
shoot your session
One of my main focuses after your session is to get your photos sent to you as soon as I can. I want the excitement of the day to still be lingering when you receive your gallery.
receive your gallery
Yes! I take on a small amount of travel weddings each year. I count a wedding as a travel wedding if it is beyond the states that border Minnesota. I always include 60 miles roundtrip for both engagement and wedding sessions.
do you travel?
We will deliver a high resolution online gallery to you through your email. This gallery will allow for you to view, download, share on social media, or purchase prints.
how will i receive my images?
I include engagement sessions in The Wedding Experience because I truly believe that they are a VITAL part of the entire process. During your engagement session, you’ll have the chance to get to know me, experience how I shoot and how I handle posing and lighting. This session will make a HUGE impact on how the wedding day flows. I’ll arrive on your wedding day already knowing how you two interact, what your best poses are and how to photograph you in a genuine way!
are engagement sessions include?
My photos are sweet and exuberant and so is the way I photograph them! I'm all about helping those in front of my camera have fun and feel like their authentic selves. I will be both interactive and subtle throughout the day. At moments, I will need to be in control in order to keep everything on schedule. Then there will be times when you won't even remember I'm there, especially during the ceremony!
what is your shooting style?
I do not, but let me explain. I believe the experience I give my clients is one of a kind. With this I also believe you won't regret investing in photography for your special moments. Your photos are the treasures you'll hold onto for the rest of your life, and someday will be held by the hands of those who will only know you through those very photos. Discounts devalue my work and take away from the experience I am able to give to each person I work with.
Do you offer discounts on your services?
