Katie did an incredible job with my surprise engagement photo shoot! Along with the pictures coming out wonderful, she helped act along in the surprise. Looking forward to having Katie shoot our wedding next year! Would highly recommend Kreate!

I worked with Katie from Kreate Photography as a DJ for a wedding at the Gloria Ferrer winery in Sonoma back in August of 2025. Katie was amazing to work with and I really appreciated her attention to detail and ways of working! She was very easy to talk to, always organized, and made the couple feel super at-ease…

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she exceeded every expectation we had. During our engagement session, our original plan to shoot at a barn fell through, but Katie didn't miss a beat. Instead, she took us on an adventure and used her incredible creative…

She was quick, witty, and the perfect complement to my (equally type A) personality. After a few photographer interviews, I told my fiancé, “I’ve found the one.” From our…

I cannot say enough good things about Katie and the Kreate Photography team. Katie was the lead photographer at our wedding in San Francisco on 10/11/25, and she also shot our engagement photo shoot and rehearsal dinner. At our wedding, she had a second and third shooter join her as well. With Katie and the Kreate…
