At our Wedding Chicks Re-Launch event, we were lucky to work with photographer Kate Noelle, who captured the intimate gathering with her unique style that makes you feel like you're right there with her. With almost 20 years of experience, Kate's aesthetic is rich in color, shaped by an instinct for light and composition, and she guides her photography style with documentary and editorial approaches.
Capturing the Feeling of an Event
Kate's photography style is all about creating space and intention for moments that might get passed by too quickly on a wedding day. She believes that a good photographer should be able to capture the feeling of an event, not just the technical aspects. "My photography style is guided documentary and editorial: unscripted but intentionally placed, and emotionally honest candid shots, as well as art-directed portraits," she explains. Her goal is to create a visual story that will feel true today and last decades later.
The Art of Shooting What Feels Right
Kate doesn't just follow a shot list; she also likes to ask her couples for a short list of shots they've always dreamed of. This way, she can incorporate their deepest wishes into her photography. "I'll always get the main moments, but it means something to hear, straight from their heart, what matters most to them," she says. This approach allows Kate to create unique and personalized photos that capture the essence of her couples' love stories.
The Role of Flat Lays in Wedding Photography
Kate has a fun take on flat lays: they're "fun, yes, but necessary, no." However, she believes that they can add flavor to a wedding's visual story if photographed with the same vibe as the rest of the wedding. Kate's approach to photography is all about capturing the essence of an event, and flat lays can be a creative way to do just that.

But in all seriousness, Kate's experience and expertise make her a top choice for couples looking for a unique and personalized photography style.
