Capturing Real, One-of-a-Kind Wedding Moments with Creativity

Hi! I'm Kate Crabtree, a wedding photographer who makes joyful and bold documentary wedding photos set against a variety of stunning ME landscapes. By candidly photographing your wedding day, I seek to capture authentic, fleeting moments that will help encapsulate the love you feel for your friends, your family, and of course your fiance. I have been published in Real Maine Weddings, Maine Magazine, Seacoast Weddings, Style Me Pretty, and Junebug Weddings, amongst others. No matter whether your wedding is taking place on the coast, in the mountains, at a private estate or at a quaint seaside inn, I'm excited to capture the moments and the love that will define your wedding forever.
