    AMAZING Photographer

    Kate is absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, she was professional and she listened to what we wanted for our engagement and wedding photos. She is organized, communicates well and is so very sweet. Our engagement session made us feel more comfortable with her and she takes INCREDIBLE photos and plays with light so well. On our wedding day, she did way more than a photographer has to (carried my dress, made sure we had food, etc.), she organized other bridal party members & guests for photos and made sure to capture everything. Some of our guests even commented how impressed they were with her ability to be everywhere at the right moments to capture everything. She also knew when to leave private moments to us, which we appreciated. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner on my wedding day. We will use Kate for all future photography needs. Thank you, Kate!

    Picturesque Photos

    Kate and Lauren did an amazing job capturing the most amazing day ever. I am so glad I had both of them to help capture the getting ready before the wedding. Both did an amazing job capturing all the special moments (and the snow!) I cannot wait to see the full photos. Kate was great wo work with! She is very knowledgeable about what formals to capture as well as attentive to the candid moments. I loved working with her!

    Talented, professional and detail-oriented.

    Working with Kate was amazing! I had been in weddings where she was the photographer and she was great then and is what made me choose her for our wedding. She is detailed, her calm and caring personality shines bright and really made my husband and I feel at ease during the entire day.

    As a person who cherishes the little things and details, she captured those moments and ones I didn't even think of. What amazed us both was seeing all that she captured and looking back we didn't even realize she was there. She blends right in and I think that is something special too.

    She got to know us and understand our style and personalities and captured it perfectly. Also, being a COVID wedding, back in August, she was helpful and supportive as we continued to ebb and flow with changing plans. She offered great support, ideas and even helped me with my run of show, since I didn't have a planner anymore. That was beyond her role or our expectations.

    The photos are amazing and I love the system she uses too. We can't wait to use her in the future for our future milestone photo sessions in our life. A truly talented photographer, a great business woman and just a genuine and caring soul.

    Amazing job!

    Kate was absolutely amazing to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding! She is so personable and easy to get along with and truly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is calm and laid back but was super organized and efficient getting through the posed pictures on our wedding day - exactly what you want in a photographer! Absolutely love the pictures we have received so far and cannot wait to see the rest of the pics in a few weeks. Highly recommend Kate for any of your photography needs - you won't regret it!

    Wedding dreams come true

    Kate is the absolute best! My husband and I hired paperhearts photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. I swear it felt like we’d known each other for years. She was so sweet, understanding, and professional. The photos turned out amazing!! Getting our pictures back was quick and easy. She communicated with us about time frames, needs, etc. I’ll hide her again for all life events.

    Covid Wedding

    We originally signed with paper heart to do bridal portraits and full day wedding/reception. However the pandemic had different plans for us and Kate was super flexible and adjusted our package to meet our new needs for a small ceremony on our original date and our reception planned for 2021. I cannot recommend her enough and feel very lucky to be able to work with her twice. I look forward to her capturing more of our family moments!

    I'm A Model

    Book Kate this very second! Not only do I have the most gorgeous wedding photos in the whole entire world, I also had a blast shooting with her. She made the wedding day photo circus so easy and fun. She captured all the details from the day so perfectly and got all the amazing shots of my groom and I. I keep looking at my photos over and over and I truly can't pick a favorite- they are all so amazing. She is worth every penny!

    Kate is seriously the best!!! I would highly recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for a talented photographer! I wanted engagement pictures here in the Fort Mill area and moving from Ohio a year ago, I was nervous about finding someone that would also fit my style. Kate was the perfect fit! She has such a bubbly personality and made our engagement shoot so fun! She had great ideas for where to shoot our pictures to make them unique. One thing that really stood out to me about Kate and it showed her pictures was her technique with the lighting/sun. Those were some of my favorite pictures! Also, her timing on getting sneak peaks and all edited photos back is impeccible! We got 30 sneak peaks back the NEXT day and all edited photos back in ONE week. I was so amazed!!! I really appreciate Kate capturing my favorite moments with my fiance! Thank you, Kate!!!

    Kate Marcus is the absolute best photographer and we are so honored that she chose to work with us! My husband and I loved our very first interaction with her. We looked at one another after our initial meeting and said "She is our photographer". She is the most bubbly, outgoing, charismatic, and caring person. I felt as though she had been a girlfriend of mine for many years. Prior to our wedding, Kate took our engagement photos, in October of 2017, in a beautiful orchard field in Fort Mill. She rocked out beautiful photos in 30 minutes. We were and are still amazed! The photos are still being enjoyed today.

    For our wedding, Kate managed to deliver the most beautiful photos that we have every laid our eyes on while being 8 months pregnant, in the Summer's heat. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Noah's Event Venue in Charlotte. She made every ounce of the venue seem like a museum. Her eye for love and art is amazing! Her timeliness of the delivery of our wedding photos was also amazing. She edited 909 photos in a little over 2 weeks. We are forever thankful for the lifelong relationship we have created with Kate Marcus. We are looking forward to the memories that will be captured in the future!

    Kate was wonderful and perfect for my wedding! She was very responsive throughout the planning process and the end result was exactly what we had wanted for our wedding pics. She is definitely a talented photographer! Kate was very patient, kind, and fun throughout the day. We have already received so many compliments on our pictures. I fully recommend Kate for any wedding or event!

    Kate was amazing to work with. We loved how comfortable she made us feel and how she took time to find the interesting and creative shots. Her editing turnaround time was quick and all of my friends and family have been raving about the quality of the photos. Highly recommend!

    We (speaking for us both!) cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She was prompt, thorough, and most importantly took absolutely amazing pictures of our wedding. Kate was also very accommodating for the additional family/friends pictures we asked for and did a great job of making the entire operation very efficient so we could enjoy as much time as possible on our wedding day. Even better, Kate had terrific suggestions for other cute pictures we ended up taking that will now be among the absolute most memorable ones we'll have. During our initial meeting also she made very helpful suggestions for our actual wedding timeline since we didn't have a planner which turned out to be invaluable. A+!

    Kate was so amazing to work with! She was helpful beyond her role, flexible, calm, professional, and accommodating. Most importantly, her photos are absolutely stunning. It was so hard to chose a photographer for our wedding- it was the most important vendor to me, but once we saw Kate's website we knew that she was the right person to work with. I'm so glad that we went with her. I loved the attention to detail- she captured every little thing that I put so much time and effort into, without my asking or specifically pointing anything out. She was incredibly accommodating when I wanted to pose for photos on our "wedding couch". She went above and beyond to make our day flow smoothly, keep everyone calm and on track, and to capture so many memories. We are in love with the photos we have received and cannot wait to have more pictures taken by her in the future.

    I remember seeing Kate's photography for the first time and falling in love with her style. When we received our engagement and wedding sneak-peak photos back, I felt that excitement all over again! I was in disbelief of how beautiful our photos were! Kate made our budget wedding look like it was straight out of a wedding inspiration blog! Kate has her own unique style that sets her apart from others, and it is so fun to see her expertise in action during a photo shoot.

    In addition to the quality work she delivers, Kate is also a dream to work with. She is kind, responsive, and highly professional. The experience of working with Kate was worth every penny!

    Kate is beyond talented & was SO fabulous to work with! She is genuine & fun; from the start of our engagement session we felt a lot less awkward in front of the camera than we anticipated. While shooting she gave helpful prompts & direction, but not too much...so our pictures looked natural & candid. Also, we love the mix of both black-white & color pictures! Additionally, she is timely & organized- which can definitely cut down on stress during the busyness of wedding planning. Her gentle manner put everyone at ease on wedding day, while her excitement for lighting, angles & detailed shots show her true passion for photography! We are delighted with our huge selection of wedding pictures & could not be more pleased with Paper Heart Photography!

    I highly recommend Paper Heart Photography for your wedding day! Kate is a pleasure to work with and has a great eye for detail and lighting. We loved the variety of shots she was able to give us! She has a calming presence and gave us direction when we needed it but also captured candid moments. She made us feel comfortable both during our engagement session and on our wedding day. Kate and her second photographer, Michelle, perfectly captured the happiness we felt during the wedding day and at the reception. She was very efficient and helped us stay on schedule all day. We greatly appreciated her promptness in getting our photos back to us as well. We can't look through them enough! Thanks Kate!

    Our experience with Kate has been fantastic from our first meeting over coffee, to our engagement photo shoot, wedding day and even after as we work through the album and prints. She is always proactive in communication and was extremely responsive when we had any questions. As for the photos - we could not be happier. We would highly recommend Kate for any photography needs!

    Paper Heart Photography truly went above and beyond my expectations for wedding photography. Kate and her husband captured every special moment and have allowed my husband and I to re-live our magical day through pictures. Thanks to them, our pictures are truly captivating. Kate and her husband are both very professional and made us feel at ease during such a chaotic day. They were able to capture our personality and captured special moments that I hadn't even thought of. This was by far the best decision we could have made.

    Paper Heart Photography does not only capture memories through photos, but because of Kate's blog I was able to incorporate her ideas from previous experience from her blog (songs, wedding line up, decoration ideas, etc). Kate is genuine, humble, and full of knowledge/experience. Paper Heart Photography is a great investment!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Paper Heart Photography! Kate was amazing and so helpful from the very beginning. She made this process so easy and fun - From the engagement session, to the bridal portraits and the entire wedding day, Kate went above and beyond the call of duty. Not to mention, we loved every single photo she took. She was able to truly capture the special moments of the day. Each photo was beautiful and unique in its own way.

    If you're reading this review - the search is over! I wouldn't trust my wedding photos to anyone else. You will be so happy you choose Paper Heart Photos to capture your special day.

    Yes Yes Yes! Go with Kate! Choosing a photographer for our wedding was the hardest decision to make. My husband is a photographer himself so you can imagine how picky we were. Ha! We saw so many other great reviews for Paper Heart Photography and my coworker also used Kate and had nothing but great things to say about her. We met with Kate and we thought she was so sweet and she would be great to work with. First impressions mean a lot to us. We then had our engagement photos and had so much fun. When we got our photos back we were even more excited for her to shoot our wedding photos! On the day of the wedding Kate showed up on time and ready to shoot. She brought her husband as her second shooter...they make an awesome team! Our wedding was December 10th, 2016 and she had all of our wedding photos back to us that next Friday while we were on our honeymoon. It was so special being on our honeymoon and being able to view those photos while we were still celebrating that special time. The photos are absolutely perfect and it captured every special piece of our wedding day, almost like they didn't miss a beat. I have no complaints at all. She was sweet, responsive, accommodating, and made sure everything was perfect on that day. We highly recommend Paper Heart Photography to capture your special day too!!!!!! :)

    Even before we saw the photos, we were amazed by Kate's professionalism, fast responses and detailed explanations of everything. We had no stress and no worries regarding photos on our wedding day.....and then, we saw the photos. WOW! They are absolutely stunning. Everybody has been talking about how amazing her work is. She truly did an amazing job capturing this special day. Without a doubt, I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

    Kate was simply amazing! After perusing photographers in the area, I just fell in love with Kate’s style and portfolio, and was so ecstatic she was free to cover our wedding! Kate is so sweet and was very responsive to all my questions from first phone call to wedding day. We were living out of state and weren’t able to do an engagement session, so the wedding day was our first time really working with Kate - but you would have never known! She is so easy to work with and really makes it fun for you. Kate had never shot at our venue before, but she worked her way around the place with no problem and was able to get in a ton of shots in the short window of daylight we had. She is also CRAZY fast. She posted quite a few of our pictures just a week later! We were still on our honeymoon and I just could not stop looking at them! She did just an absolutely incredible job. My friends and family couldn’t stop commenting on them. Later, when I looked through the full gallery, I was shocked there were so many amazing moments captured that I hadn’t even realized she was there for! I really cannot recommend Kate enough. She’s a joy to work with, her price is right, and she does beautiful work.
