“Katie was our wedding photographer in Newcastle and I cannot shut up to all my family and friends about how talented she is. Apart from being completely on our wave-length for humour, she was like a ninja all day, capturing moments I never could have seen myself. She’s a MASTER with composition and light! Our wedding photos are a proper time-capsule and it’s all down to the talent that is Katie Dervin <3 love her!”

“Katie was an integral and wonderful part of our wedding. She brilliantly captured the essence of the whole day - the love, the fun, the warmth, the terrible dancing! She caught so many sweet and real moments, like my half-eaten toast on the breakfast tray in the bridal suite and our bouquets keeping fresh in their buckets.

We wanted something relaxed and natural and candid and that’s exactly what Katie delivered, beyond our expectations. She’s also an incredibly nice and lovely human and was just a joy to have around, we still feel so privileged that she was involved.

She’s like a stealthy wee ninja, she caught so much and our guests were really surprised when they saw the photos because half the time they weren’t even aware she was around! And she handled mums and dads and grandmas beautifully during the portrait section.

We can’t recommend Katie highly enough - her photos are just as fabulous as she is!”

“Katie is simply amazing! She did a fantastic job of capturing our wedding day. Not only did she completely put us at ease in front of the camera, but she also caught some special, candid moments and reactions that we may have otherwise missed. Both our guests and wedding venue commented on how professional Katie was. She’s also a super nice person to boot. We really felt Katie went above and beyond and we’re absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. Thank you Katie!!”

“A ninja photographer- never knew she was there! Consequently the best candid shot I’ve ever seen!!!”

“So glad that we booked Katie for our wedding! Both my husband and I are quite camera shy so knew we needed someone who would make us feel relaxed and get our best sides. After looking through the hundreds of photos taken we can say that she did just that. There are so many to choose from. Many are of parts of the day neither of us got to see amongst the chaos - so glad Katie was on hand to get the memories for us! x”

“Katie’s photographs of our wedding day are absolutely stunning. Artistic, sensitive and totally natural - looking through our pictures together was one of the most enjoyable moments of the whole thing. On the day, Katie made everyone feel relaxed and at ease - she was a pleasure to work with!”

“Katie was recommended to us by a friend, to photograph our wedding on 21st July 2018. We wish that we could give Katie 10 stars!! She was absolutely incredible to work with, making us feel so relaxed and happy throughout the whole day. When I first met Katie in the morning, I instantly felt at ease with her warm personality and laid back approach. We so enjoyed the laughter and fun that Katie gave us all day! Aside from her insane photography skills, Katie’s biggest attribute is her wonderful way with people. My husband is a bit camera shy, but Katie really brought him out of his shell and helped him to feel relaxed when we were having our photos taken together. Katie also worked amazingly well with our videographer, so much so that some of our guests assumed that they were part of the same team! We’ve received our teaser photos from Katie and are absolutely thrilled!! We both laughed and cried as we re-lived the day through the beautiful photos. The attention to detail, lighting and documentary style just blew us away. We absolutely cannot wait to see the rest of them.

Katie we cannot thank you enough for making our day so special!”

“Where to begin. From the first meeting with Katie I knew we were in the safest of hands. She is amazing at what she does and she really does go above and beyond. Our pictures were beyond our expectations and the slideshow blew us away. It was great to be able to relive such a magical day and see the details and reactions that are so easily missed. The little extra touches that she does to make it an even more personal experience add the cherry on top to an already perfect cake. Best decision ever for the best day ever. Thank you Katie xx ”

“Can’t even begin to say thank you for the parcel we’ve just had through the post. It was enough to bring me to tears before we’d even got to 9am on a Saturday morning. From start to finish we couldn’t have asked for anything more - nothing has ever been too much trouble and you took so many incredible photographs of people and moments we could never have seen. Your work is simply stunning and this was the best decision we’ve taken. The icing on the cake is the hard copy photos and gorgeous box - best post ever! ”

“We can’t thank Katie enough for the amazing photos she captured of our wedding day! As a couple who hate PDAs, Katie made us feel ridiculously comfortable and there’s hardly any pictures where I am not laughing. We wanted to see our wedding day from the eyes of everyone else, having a laugh and having fun, without having overly formal posed or intrusive pictures - that’s exactly what we got! We love them.
5 stars just aren’t enough - you are brilliant!!”

“We booked Katie for our wedding in March 2016. Within 5 minutes of meeting Katie I knew I had to book her! She was friendly, easy going and very professional. Working with Katie was fantastic, she made me feel right at ease from the very beginning. I’m really glad I booked Katie, and would fully recommend her services. ”

“We had Katie do the photographs for our wedding in August. Right from the first enquiry to receiving our photographs we couldn’t fault her at all! The weather was pretty disappointing on the day after fantastic sunshine all week but she managed to capture everything perfectly and you would hardly even know it hadn’t been great. She worked so hard all day and has captured the most amazing photos for us. Nothing was too much trouble, even though we were pretty unorganised and probably a little too laid back! She was so relaxed which was just what we were after and captured things that i hadn’t even noticed going on! Everyone i have spoken to about her from the day said how wonderful she was. If you want a relaxed, professional and wonderful photographer then Katie is for you. I cannot thank you enough for everything, we will treasure these photos forever, thank you so much”

“I really can’t recommend Katie enough! She was absolutely amazing from the initial meeting through to receiving the photos. On the day she was so lovely to be around. We chose her as we loved her natural style and didn’t want too many posed photographs. Our wedding had so much going on and she captured everything brilliantly. The final photos are amazing and the slideshow is just brilliant! It’s so nice looking back and seeing things you didn’t see happen on the day. She was super quick to respond to all queries throughout the process and really professional. She’s the BEST! Thanks Katie, love Vicki and Ravi xxxx”

“Katie is the best! We booked her quite last minute for a late December wedding and she was very accommodating. Although we couldn’t meet before the wedding (due to our personal logistics, not Katie’s!), she made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. Katie was friendly and non-intrusive, but also not afraid to get where she needed to be to get the good photos! And the photos were BEAUTIFUL! Katie did a perfect job of capturing the tone of the day. It’s really clear that she cares about the story of each of her clients and does her best to create a comprehensive memory of the entire day, instead of only a pretty series of individual photos.
We’re so happy with Katie’s work and you will be, too!”

“We got the app and loved the sneak peaks, and then received our parcel with all of the photos yesterday. We’re blown away, thank you so much! We love them all, they completely surpassed our expectations. The way you captured the joy we felt all day is wonderful and we cannot stop looking through them. We’re so happy to have such a beautiful set of photos that we can revist again and again in the future. Can’t wait to share them with our guests!

Thank you for all of your hard work on the day and afterwards. We’re so pleased with the results and that’s certainly thanks not only to your obvious ability behind the lens but your kind, cheerful attitude in front of it. We’re both pretty awkward about having our photos taken usually, but you made us both feel utterly at ease and made us look like a pair of models (and the other guests don’t look too bad either)!

This is all proven by the set of pictures you took just before you left which were completely unplanned (think we both decided a bit deliriously that we should make the most of you before you left and grabbed whoever happened to be nearby!) but have turned out to be some of our favourites from the whole lot.

We’ll get the link out to all of our guests so that they can enjoy them as much as we do, and then we’ll get cracking on the wording for the killer review we’ll be leaving on your facebook page! We’ll be sure to recommend you to all of our friends as soon as they get engaged!”

“We just wanted to say a massive thanks for the photos, they’re absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted! You captured eveyones personalities perfectly, as well as how happy we felt on the day. It was lovely to watch the slideshow (a lot of times...) and it really brought back how special the day was for us! Our expectations were massively exceeded.

All of our family love them too, and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Best and thanks again”

“Absolutely wonderful wedding photography. Katie worked her socks off at our New Year’s Wedding and produced some of the most beautiful, fun and quirky photos. Not being the most photogenic and genuinely worried about looking terribly awkward, we were optimistically hoping for 10 that we liked. Instead we have come away with 500 amazing images of us and our friends and family. Every time I look through them, they recapture the magic of the day and make me beam. Katie was so unobtrusive, personable and fantastic with our guests. And running back and forth between two locations in Hurricane Frank took such commitment and was so appreciated. Worth every penny as she has documented our day so perfectly and we will always have these to look back on and remember and reminisce. Thank you so much. Xxx ”

“Working with Katie was not only easy, but a pleasure. She made both of us feel so at ease and comfortable during the entire day. Katie has the perfect personality to work as a photographer and her professional yet lighthearted demeanor is very welcomed at a wedding. During the ceremony and reception we hardly noticed she was there, yet she was always snapping those priceless moments. We are so happy with the photos and going through them was almost as emotional as the day itself. We would recommend Katie 100% and we couldn’t be more pleased with not only the photos but with the level of service. If you’re looking for a photographer, don’t hesitate, just book her! Thanks again!”

“Katie is amazing, from our first meeting with her to discuss our wedding we knew we had found our perfect photographer! Katie is easy to talk to, always responds to emails and listens to the needs of her customers. We have had some sneak peaks of our wedding photos and we are simply blown away by them, she has truly captured every special moment and we can’t wait to see the rest! Highly recommend Katie! ”

“Absolutely Brilliant! Katie was the perfect choice for us. She has a real knack of spotting those small important moments that you don’t want to forget and capturing them in truly beautiful photographs. We laughed and cried our eyes out whilst looking through all of our photos which I think says a lot. She was lovely to have on the day, never bossy or intrusive just really helpful, easygoing and really took our wishes into account. The results speak for themselves, gorgeous, natural photos that will always remind us of the happiness and spirit of the day. Thank you Katie. ”

“We cry every time we watch our slideshow, your pictures somehow managed to capture every emotion of the day without us even noticing you were there! I was also super impressed with how you managed to control our huge and unruly rabble of family and friends so effortlessly. A massive THANK YOU, we feel very lucky that we found you. ”

“We just wanted to thank you, Katie, for the absolutely fantastic wedding photos! We really appreciate all the time and effort you spent to understand what we wanted and the great advice you gave us, that is more than reflected in the photos . You captured everything we wanted and so much more! We have loved sharing the photos with our friends and family and everyone has said how beautiful they are. We are really lucky to have such a stunning set of pictures to match our memories of the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer! Thank you again.”

“Katie was absolutely fantastic!!
We are so happy she was our wedding photographer for our June wedding. We would like to say a huge thank you for the beautiful wedding photos, you have created some stunning shots and captured our most precious moments. The photos are so brilliant and creative, capturing so much raw emotion that we are transported back to the day every time we look at them.
Katie was so professional, blending in with our family and friends and putting everyone at ease, we barely even noticed she was there.
A truly amazing and talented photographer, we will forever recommend you to our family and friends.
Thank you. XXXX”

“Katie played a huge part in Victoria and Steve’s wedding, taking photographs using natural props around our home inside and out. The happy couple were thrilled with the “off the cuff” images which were unstated and natural. Thank you Katie for helping to make their day so perfect.”
