About Katie Hickenbottom Photography

Katie Hickenbottom Photography

Photographer

Hey, I’m Katie! I’m a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, and I love capturing real moments, happy tears, and all the beautiful chaos that makes your wedding day special. I focus on candid, heartfelt images with a timeless feel. Photos that bring you right back to the laughter, nerves, and that “we did it” moment. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a mom to two humans and three fur babies, married to my high school sweetheart for 19 years. You’ll usually find me with coffee in hand, rewatching Gilmore Girls, or scrolling TikTok a little longer than I should.

If you’re looking for a photographer who keeps things relaxed, feels more like a friend, and captures your day honestly and beautifully, I’d love to connect. Your wedding isn’t meant to feel like a styled photoshoot. It’s champagne spills, big hugs, wild dance moves, and quiet in-between moments with your favorite people. My goal is to tell your story as it unfolds so when you look back at your photos, you don’t just see your day, you feel it.

    From start to finish Katie was amazing! When my wife and I started wedding planning we specifically looked for LGBTQ friendly vendors and Katie stood out. Her photography and editing is gorgeous and we knew we had to choose her! We took our engagement photos only a month before our wedding and Katie made sure we got our photos in time to be able to use them at our wedding. From planning to the actual day Katie made everything smooth, fun and easy. Our photos turned out amazing and we got sneak peaks less than a week after our wedding. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day so perfectly!! Highly recommend

    From the moment we booked Katie Hickenbottom Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Katie's thoughtful, attentive, and caring communication style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her detail-oriented approach ensured that every moment of our special day was captured beautifully, but also left us ample time to enjoy our own event. Katie's loving, family-oriented style shone through in the high-end, focused photographs that we will cherish forever. She went above and beyond, thoroughly reviewing the timeline with us to make sure all the photos were taken when we wanted, while also allowing us to enjoy the event. Katie's incredible personality and creative eye for photography made her an invaluable part of our wedding day.

    Katie is a talented and kind photographer. Her talent shows through her photo gallery, which initially prompted me to reach out to her. It was great to get to know Katie. She is very approachable and easy to talk to, she knows her stuff, and she was easy to get a hold of- promptly responding to any question we had. We appreciated that she met with us at the venue a couple of months before our wedding to go over the timeline and shots. She was on top of everything on our wedding day, and helped us with the picture poses (as we are not naturals!). She provided us with the sneak peaks just a few days after our wedding which we loved!! The pictures came out how I’d hoped for- she put a lot of care into the editing, and we are very happy with how everything came out. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for wedding photography!! Thank you, Katie!!

    Katie was so wonderful to work with! We looked at a lot of her work and were convinced to hire her based on her great outdoor photography because we knew we were going to have an outdoor wedding. We also liked that she does engagement shoots as well as weddings. We’re really glad we did our engagement photos with her, so we could meet her and get comfortable. We were super nervous and awkward for our engagement shoot, but that taught us a lot about her style and what WE needed to do to feel more comfortable. When it came time for the wedding, we felt comfortable enough to let her know we were feeling worried about looking stupid in our photos. Then, on the wedding day, everything went great! As the bride, I especially felt like she was really there to support me and make sure I was feeling comfortable and not overwhelmed with the photo shoot aspect of the day. She also did a great job of referring to the list of shots we needed with our families. We knew she did great wedding work, but we were still honestly blown away when we got our sneak peaks a couple days after our wedding. And again when we got the full gallery of SO many amazing photos. She made us look good and captured so many beautiful moments from our day. The day was SUCH a blur for us but it’s amazing to know that we have such wonderful photos to look back on. I can’t wait to print some and fill our home with memories! We would also absolutely go back to Katie for future babies, family photos etc
