The PERFECT photographer for your big day!

I first met Kathi five years ago when I was a bridesmaid at my best friend’s wedding.The photos from that day were breathtaking, leaving a lasting impression on both me and my now-husband, an amateur photographer. When it was our turn to get married, choosing to capture the moment was a no-brainer.

Kathi is a consummate professional. She is deeply talented, beyond experienced and truly the best in the business at timeless, documentary style photography. She is also calm, confident and caring, and the type of wedding vendor who takes the time to build a long-term connection with her couples. She captured so many gems during our 1-hour engagement shoot in fall 2023, and then multiplied that skill by 12 on an action-packed wedding day in summer 2024. Most of all, she is reliable, responsive and works extremely well with other vendors. She can both work behind the scenes, barely noticeable, or run the show and provide direction if needed. As the bride, I had a front row seat to Kathi managing a jam-packed wedding schedule, sweltering weather conditions and all the different players and personalities on wedding day, while never missing a beat or photo-worthy moment. She will make you look and feel stunning on your wedding day. She is simply the best and I cannot recommend her enough.

Amazing 100% Recommend!

A truly amazing wedding photographer doesn’t just take great photos. They listen to you, get to know you and what your vision is, help you stay calm on your special day, and they’re your cheerleader. Kathi Robertson is all that and more. I first met Kathi at the Ottawa Wedding Show but she wasn’t available for the date that we had set. We booked another photographer, changed our date in order to get the venue we wanted. I wasn’t having a good feeling about the photographer we had booked and made a last minute decision to cancel with them. I was so happy to find out that Kathi was available for the new date we had switched too. Kathi stepped in about a month before our wedding when I was in a bit of a panic. She expertly guided us through the process and had me feeling at ease after our first meeting. Communication was easy. On our late October wedding day, it was so cold outside, but she cheered us on and kept us smiling. Now the photos - even better than I expected. I actually gasped at a few of them. We absolutely love the photos, and 100% recommend Kathi!

Our November Wedding 2024

If I had to describe our experience with Kathi Robertson in one word it would be, INCREDIBLE.
She is a MASTER of her craft and her ability to completely understand and visualize her clients photographic vision is second to none. From the moment we saw her work online to the moment of our engagement shoot were amazed. Her natural, God given gift and skill to work with your vision, angles, lighting, locations and themes was magnificent. Our engagement and wedding photos are some of the most precious moments of our lifetime and we were SO BLESSED to have had the opportunity to work with Kathi. There was not one magical moment that she didn’t capture and not one creative pose or angle that she didn’t shoot. You are a GEM Kathi and my husband and I are forever grateful for your incredible work. Special thanks to your assistant, Mel who also did a fantastic job at capturing the Groomsmen’s special moments! :)

Amazing pictures!

Kathi inspired me with the look for my wedding. She suggested specific hair and makeup to match my dress, that turned out amazing. Kathi knows how to use the colours of the scenery around her to create amazing pictures. She knows Ottawa very well and can guide you to the spots to get the look you want. Without her leadership and vision the groups pictures would have taken hours, All my pictures are beautiful and she captured the loving smiles between us. I love that she guided us on how to stand or move to her the best results. Would use her again and recommend her to all my friends.

Wonderful experience with Kathi! Highly recommend

We hired Kathi as our photographer for our wedding this past August. She was easy to communicate with from Day 1 and very responsive. She had lots of great feedback and insight about how to schedule our day so that nothing would feel rushed, which was very helpful.

On our wedding day she was a dream to work with - everything felt natural and Kathi had so many great ideas! She posted a sneak peek on her social media shortly after the wedding and then the turnaround time for the final photos was very reasonable (even quicker than we expected!). We loved going through our photos together as there were so many great shots and Kathi captured the day so beautifully and effortlessly, not missing any special details. We shared many with our friends and family who were also very impressed with how many excellent photos we received and the quality of Kathi's work! Kathi even submitted some of our photos to be featured in a recent edition of the Ottawa Wedding Magazine, which was really fun to be a part of and is another amazing keepsake from our special day.

Overall we can't say enough wonderful things about Kathi and her work - we would highly recommend her for wedding photos and we are so glad that we chose her to photograph our special day.

Thank you for beautifully capturing our wedding day!

Working with Kathi was a dream from beginning to end! We loved her style and the beautiful aesthetic of her photos, she was a pleasure to work with and really made our vision for our wedding a reality. On the day of the wedding, Kathi and Matthew worked seamlessly to capture all the joy and emotions of the day, they captured some really beautiful moments not only of the two of us but also our family, friends and bridal party. We would highly recommend Kathi for any event!

Beautiful and amazing experience

Kathi was AMAZING! No words can describe our beautiful experience with her. She took the time to discuss with us all the details of our big day and she was very flexible along with Kate on our wedding day. They took amazing pictures and made us feel at ease by making us laugh and paying attention to all the details.

I highly recommend Kathi as a photographer for your wedding. She will make wonders with her camera and will leave you speechless with all her beautiful work!
