Luke & Bethany Wedding 27th August 2024

We can honestly say from the bottom of our hearts that choosing Katherina was the best decision we could've made. Not only did she make us feel so special on our wedding day with her calmness, professionalism and passion for her craft, her beautiful videos have allowed us to relive every moment all over again for the rest of our lives.

The attention to detail is amazing and Katherina effortlessly captured every aspect of the whole day. Everything is so authentic, whilst maintaining all the magic, happiness and love.

If anyone is thinking twice about getting a videographer, don't!
It will be the best investment you make and choosing Katherina will prove that!

An absolute essential!

We got married in September 2023, and the thought of having a videographer hadn’t occurred to us initially. We are both quite shy when it comes to having our photo taken so thought it was going to be anxiety-inducing enough having a photographer, let alone adding a videographer in to the mix, however I am SO thrilled we did. We are so lucky Katharina was still available on our date which I put down to it being a Thursday and therefore not a “desirable” date for many people because it was quite a last minute decision with only a few months until the big day. Katharina is not only a lovely person but an incredibly talented videographer. She made us feel at ease and her confidence and experience shone through during our pre-wedding chats so we knew we were in safe hands. On the day we barely saw her and were amazed when we received our videos just how much she had managed to capture! The videos themselves are beautifully filmed and edited, and I can safely say we have watched them more times than I can count! To have a lovely USB with them all saved on is such a nice touch, although I also have them all on my phone because I love them so much! It hadn’t occurred to me initially but it was so lovely and important to have these memories captured on film, partially because when you have older relatives or young children, and we have both, time moves so fast and it’s so special to have recordings of these important people in your life. I would highly recommend Katharina as a videographer and would go so far as to say she is an essential for your special day, find room in the budget because you will never regret having all those memories filmed to keep forever, the day really does fly by and there is so much you miss on the day too! Thank you again Katharina and I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to get round to doing this. Love from Mr & Mrs Brown, September 2023, The Ravenswood xxx

The most amazing videographer!!!

Katharina is by far the most amazing Videographer out there!
From the very first time we made contact with Kat she was so professional, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.
We had absolutely no idea what we wanted in a video or even what we needed to know and do!
Kat immediately made us feel at ease and took great care of us, guiding us through every step, every question and every idea!
In the run up to the day Kat spoke us through everything and answered our 100s of questions!!
On the day of our wedding Kat arrived in the bridal suite and it was like an old friend had finally arrived! I was so excited to see her and she slotted straight in to our bridal party.
Kat is so amazing she makes everyone feel so at ease you don’t even notice that she’s recording the day!
Kat has captured our wedding in such a beautiful way! We have the most beautiful wedding videos which we are absolutely delighted with!
If you are looking for a Videographer, look no further! You have found the best all you have to do now is book her! You won’t regret it.
Kat thank you so much for everything, and for the beautiful videos!! 💕💕

Perfect from start to finish!

We got married last year and initially, we were unsure whether to book a videographer. After some research, we decided it was something we wanted and we really loved the style of Katharina’s videos. We are so glad we made this decision as the videos we have are beyond our expectations and being able to watch them back to relive the day is just wonderful.
She made the whole process so relaxed and easy, from discussions before hand on zoom, to the support we received on the big day itself.
Katharina helped us to have the perfect day and captured so many beautiful moments. Our whole wedding party felt so comfortable and at ease whilst being filmed, at times we wouldn’t have even known she was there - in the best way possible.
We have the most stunning videos to look back on, better than we could have imagined. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough!

Best videographer EVER

Kat made our whole experience amazing and fun. She captured it all so beautifully, the edits were amazing and everyone has commented on how spectacular the weekend was captured. Kat was up for all my crazy ideas and made them work, she helped me govern the day and capturing all the special moments without me noticing her there (which you want). Highly recommend!

Everything and more!

We are completely blown away. Totally speechless at what Katharina captured and how our videos have been edited together! Katharina has been SUCH a pleasure from the very first time I enquired, right up until a couple of days ago when I let her know our personalised USB had arrived! She’s so so lovely, and really made what can be such a stressful time when planning a wedding such a breeze! On the day she was also fantastic! There’s not a single moment from our day that she didn’t capture - I must’ve watched the videos a thousand times since receiving them a couple of weeks ago! Everyone has cried happy tears when we’ve shown them. Just the most perfect keepsake from our special day. Thank you SO much Katharina, we can never thank you enough, and I’m so sad that our time together has come to an end.

If your budget allows, you absolutely MUST have a videographer and that videographer absolutely must be Katharina. You won’t regret it.

Thank you for everything xxxx

October wedding

We were recommended to Katharina from 2 different people who had previously worked alongside her and also someone who had seen her wedding videos. It was everything and more than we were expecting. She made us feel so comfortable on the day and hardly even noticed her being around. She was well organised and very professional throughout. She kept in contact leading up to the wedding and asked us many questions on what and who we would like captured. Nothing was too much for her and she gave great directions!
The wedding day goes by so quickly you feel like you’ve missed a lot but with Katharinas films, we where able to relive it and see the day from other peoples view and it was so lovely watching it all back.
The films are outstanding and so many people have said how amazing they are. I highly recommend Katharina, she is fantastic at what she does and such great value for money!!
Thank you again!

Outstanding Wedding Videography Experience

I am delighted to share my unequivocal recommendation for Katharina, who recently documented our wedding day. From start to finish, Katharina showcased an unparalleled level of professionalism and skill.

Her ability to capture the essence of our day with precision and creativity was truly exceptional. The resulting video surpassed our expectations, combining technical excellence with a captivating narrative that beautifully captured the most significant moments of our wedding.

Throughout the whole process, Katharina maintained excellent communication, ensuring our vision was realized seamlessly. Her friendliness and dedication to her craft make her, in my opinion, the best wedding videographer out there. I wholeheartedly recommend WeddingsByKatharina to anyone seeking a memorable and top-tier videography experience for their special day.

The best wedding videographer!

Katharina captured our wedding day back in October 2023 and we couldn’t have picked a better videographer. She was professional, friendly, and most of all a highly talented filmmaker. She made us feel so comfortable and not at all awkward, Katharina is a lovely person so she fitted into our day perfectly. Her attention to detail and creativity is just amazing, and the films show how much care she puts in to the editing process. We were thrilled with how the films turned out and have watched them so many times already! So happy to have these precious memories of our day. As well as our online gallery we received a personalised USB in a lovely wooden box, such a nice touch.
We would 100% recommend Katharina to any future couples looking for a wedding videographer- you won’t regret your choice!

The Most Amazing Videographer

I was really on the fence as to whether we should have a videographer for our big day. It's a big outlay on top of everything else & after finally deciding to go ahead, I had a recommendation to use Katharina.

I am so, so pleased we went ahead and booked her. From start to finish she has been so professional, taking the time out to understand what type of film we wanted (candid, natural films) and really getting to know us.

On the day she was such fun & Katharina never felt intrusive, in fact most of the time I didn't even notice her. Every commented on how lovely she was & she made us feel so at ease.

We received our 1 minute film really quickly & Katharina kept us fully up to date as to when our longer films were going to arrive, and following these our USB stick, which has just arrived & is so lovely.

To the films themselves...what can I say other than they are just stunning. I can't stop watching them & they are the most perfect reminder of our most special day. We will certainly treasure them forever.

Thank you so much Katharina - you have a real talent for what you do.

Couldn't recommended highly enough

When my husband first suggested a videographer, I wasn't sure we needed one..... I couldn't have been more wrong.

Due to some time off on maternity leave, I had lots of thinking time, and much to my husbands frustration, I decided we should have a videographer a couple of months before the wedding. Katharina was recommended to us, and after looking at her website, we agreed she had a style we both really liked.

By some luck Katharina was available for our wedding date. We met with her, and we immediately got a vibe that she was perfect for what we wanted.

On the day of the wedding, she just fitted in perfectly. She absolutely blended into the day, and that was critical to us. We very much wanted candid moments captured.

We received our 1 min teaser very promptly. It was absolutely beautiful.

We then received the follow-up films and were communciated with regularly whilst waiting. She really is a pleasure to work with.

I will never admit this to my husband, but he was so right about the videographer. Katharina did an absolutely beautiful job of capturing our special day, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Her work is stunning and has brought many of our friends and family to tears watching our special day back!!

Easy going, creative, fun & worth every penny!

I don’t really know where to start with this review! Videography was a non-negotiable for me for our wedding & I spent a large amount of time researching different videographers however when I came across Katharina I had an instant connection with her films and knew she’d be the one to capture our day for us. She is so easy going and communication was open during the whole planning process. On the day Katharina bought the calm but fun energy, capturing the day so beautifully. We received our films back within the specified time frame and honestly we are blown away. I couldn’t tell you how many times we have rewatched each one haha. I would definitely recommend choosing Katharina as your videographer, you won’t regret it! Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing us to relive our day time and time again, it’s something we will treasure forever.

Islamic Nikah Ceremony & Registry with Katharina

I booked Katharina for my wedding in May 2023 and had the worst time with wedding planning, I ended up having to cancel the venue for financial issues and Katharina was so patient with me & my husband with all the changes we had to make. She was super flexible and her communication is superb. She’s always reachable and does her best to make time to talk through everything with me and my wedding film has come out beautifully, every single detail we wanted she captured. She was also so friendly and got along with my family well and made me feel so comfortable on the day. She captured both my Islamic Nikah ceremony at home and also my wedding registry. I would 100% use her again for family events as she is amazing :)
