Lindsay and Greg have been a pleasure to work with so far! My fiance had them there to photograph our proposal and I liked them so much that we booked them for our engagement and wedding sessions as well. We are both slower to open up type of people and Lindsay and Greg have been really easy to talk to. We didn't feel awkward and were comfortable with them. We have some beautiful photos and everyone has complimented their work. I can be anxious, but Lindsay has been really easy to work with. She has a calm presence and I really like how she's set me at ease! Lindsay and Greg targeted their work to match things that we wanted to incorporate. I shared some Pinterest images with Lindsay and she saved them and actually posed us in them during our session! I offhandedly mentioned one of my favorite shots from our proposal during our engagement shoot and they came up with something so cute to do that matched the vibe of that right then and there! I also was honest with Lindsay about poses I didn't like up front and she made sure to pose me in a way that I felt like allowed me to be more confident and comfortable. We can't wait to see what they can do at our wedding!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

Kaitlin Noel & Co. were the perfect wedding photographers for us. From the moment we first spoke with Kaitlin, her communication style was quick, personable, and friendly. She was clearly very knowledgeable about her craft and helped guide us to get the types of photos we were hoping for - from beautiful solo shots to fun family portraits. Kaitlin truly became a part of our whole wedding planning process, and we felt like she cared just as much about making our day special as we did. The quality of her work is top-notch, and we're still in love with our wedding photos years later. Kaitlin is a true professional who is also a wonderful "girl's girl" - she made the whole experience so enjoyable. We couldn't recommend Kaitlin Noel & Co. more highly!

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
You need to book Kim whether it be for an event or photoshoot because you will not be disappointed!!! I recently got married at Windham Manor and was only looking for photographers who have photographed there. I found Kim since she was one of the photographers tagged on the venue’s instagram page. Kim was very responsive from the beginning and although i was still a year and a half away from my wedding, we scheduled a zoom call and started planning immediately. The call was very productive as she helped me generate a timeline super early in the game that helped me start planning and getting everything in order with my other vendors. She also showed me photos she had already taken at the venue which were stunning and exactly what we envisioned. Come to the big day, Kim was there early to set up and was ready to go immediately. She let me know her plan along the way and made sure that we were sticking to the timeline and had no problem being able to quickly adjust to things that were not under our control. Either way, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, including helping me button my extremely difficult dress!! She honestly acted like a friend and was there for us the entire night while also being able to capture everything we wanted. I knew the photos were going to be amazing but she totally exceeded our expectations. She sent some teasers the day after and we were completely blown away by the colors, angles, and backdrops. You can tell that she put so much time into each photo because every single one is stunning. Not to mention, she took soooo many photos and really captured everything from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many pictures that we can have for a lifetime. Everyone I have shared the photos with have said the same exact thing I worked with a few photographers in my life and I have to say that Kim was the best. Her talent and professionalism is unmatched. I seriously hope we can work with her again one day!!

What do you imagine your wedding to be like? Imagination is a nice gift we have. It helps us building our identities and shaping our individual uniqueness. Imagining carries a degree of anticipation, depending on our past experiences and who we are, of how something that hasn't happened yet is going to be when it actually happens. Like traveling to a place where we've never been before and we take photos of its landscapes and people living there: we tend to capture in those photographs how we had imagined that place. A wedding is a destination in the journey of life, perhaps the most important one.

We asked Daryle to create a dance-club-like atmosphere where everyone could let loose—and he absolutely delivered. Every time we asked our guests what they thought of the wedding, they raved about how incredibly fun the dance floor was. From start to finish, Daryle was organized, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. His deep understanding of mixing music and his uncanny ability to read the room and adjust to the energy were particularly impressive. We also had a few unique requests, like including a drag queen lip sync performance. Daryle coordinated seamlessly with our performer, making it a highlight of the night. He also went above and beyond to ensure our first dances were perfectly timed and elegantly handled.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!

My main goal is to shoot weddings all over the world, so just pack me in your luggage I’m skinny and I'll try to fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Karim for the first time last summer, as a videographer I have worked with a lot of photographers. It is not always easy to connect with photographers, but Karim was very easy to work with. He was great with posing everyone in the wedding and he was really accommodating to my job. He was very easy going, great person, and everybody in that wedding really loved him. After that wedding, whenever I get a wedding and they still don't have a photographer, I always recommend him.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Natalie, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. Her creative eye is unmatched, and she provided such thoughtful guidance on posing, which made the entire process feel natural and effortless. Natalie has a true talent for capturing moments in a way that feels both timeless and artistic. I also want to highlight her editing for film photos—it’s nothing short of incredible! The tones and textures she brings out are so beautifully done and added an extra layer of charm to the photos. If you’re looking for a photographer with an exceptional eye and a warm, professional approach, I can’t recommend Natalie enough. She’s truly a gem!

Heather Olker of Olker Wedding Photo was an amazing artist to work with from start to finish. As a great listener, she was very respectful of our wishes and took the time to understand our vision for our special day. Punctual and ready to capture every moment, Heather was loving and passionate about her craft. She listened closely to the details that were important to us, like our Disney-inspired wedding in the Carousel Museum in CT, and made sure to beautifully document all the magical moments, from our engagement photos in NYC's Times Square and Central Park to the carousel at our ceremony. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't be happier that we chose Olker Wedding Photo to be a part of our wedding.
