"Katie so clearly captured photos that are beautiful, but more importantly, reflect who we are."

KATIE WAS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER THIS YEAR. SHE WAS AMAZING TO WORK WITH.
Some of the most beautiful and genuine smiles of our loved ones I had never actually seen in a photo before. Yet Katie was able to capture these moments so beautifully in what seemed like an effortless way. We will now be able to keep these photos forever and that means so much to us. We are so thankful for Katie and cannot recommend her enough!

A DREAM EXPERIENCE WITH KATIE ARNOLD PHOTOGRAPHY
My husband and I recently eloped at Aragosta in Deer Isle, ME, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that we chose Katie Arnold Photography to capture our special day. From the very first interaction, I knew Katie was something special. She’s not only incredibly talented, but also warm, kind, and full of positive, calming energy, exactly what you want around you on such an important day. Katie truly understood my cinematic vision and brought it to life with such ease and beauty. Every photo felt like a piece of art. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away! It honestly felt impossible to pick a favorite.If I lived in Maine, I would work with Katie all the time.

KATIE WAS A JOY TO WORK WITH!!
So personable and uplifting — key qualities I was looking for in my engagement photo experience. Her responses were timely, ideas creative, and energy so bright it couldn’t help but make our engagement photos pop! This review is easy to write as Katie made what was otherwise a new and important experience of getting engaged feel that much more exciting and special.

As a photographer, I am deeply drawn to capturing real connections, natural beauty, and the kind of love that feels both effortless and timeless. There’s something so special about the way love unfolds in its most genuine form, and I’m here to help you hold on to that forever.
Whether we’re seaside, in the trees, or surrounded by the people who know you best, I’m dedicated to documenting your story with heart and intention.
My goal is to create images that don’t just show you how it looked but allow you to relive how it felt: how the joy filled the air, how the quiet moments spoke volumes, and how your love seemed to radiate from a place deep within. I want the warmth of your connection and the bright, fleeting moments of emotion to live on through every image. I want you to look back at these photos and be taken right back to the exact emotions you felt in that moment, remembering not just the beauty of what you saw but the depth of what you felt in your heart. Because love isn’t just something to capture, it’s something to experience, and I’m here to make sure you have something meaningful to hold onto for years to come.

I’ll bring a calm presence, a helping hand, and a genuine respect for the love you share. With a mix of gentle guidance and space, you’ll be free to focus on just being yourselves, letting your joy filled moments unfold naturally.

Make this customized all to YOU! There is nothing better than having someone look at your photographs and say, "oh my gosh, that is SO you!"
Not only will you be in your element visually, but mentally too! Finding a location/ activity to partake in for your engagement shoot will allow you to feel most comfortable and be most authentically you, which is of course what we want more than anything!
Right here in Maine we have mountains, forests, flowers, coastline, beaches, fields, waterfalls, and so on! And that is all just the natural beauty
Maine has to offer...there are lists of activities and what not that we shouldn't squash! Are you two roller bladers? Great, let's capture it! Water
junkies? Perfect, I'll hop on my paddle board and meet you out there! I'm here to help you dream!
- Earth tones and neutrals are good always!
- If one of you is going to have a pattern then the other should be in a solid! Too many patterns can become distracting, so either have the same pattern on or have a solid with a pattern to offset it.
- Flowy is a YES. If flowy type clothing speaks to you, whether these are sleeves that flow in the wind or a dress, skirt, pant, whatever! They photograph really beautifully and allows for some fun.
- If you're wanting to do an outfit change, bring a casual and a dressy. That way you have images that show yourselves in 2 different scenes of life.
Tetlling Your Love Story
WHAT TO EXPECT
I WILL CAPTURE THOSE SWEET IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS THAT YOU DON'T SEE
I stay in search of those sweet and silly moments that will light up your heart to look back on. I’m here to capture every in-between for you to cherish forever.
DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH JUST A LITTLE ASSISTANCE
I’m not here to pose you like mannequins—I’m here to help you feel like you. With a few playful prompts and gentle direction, you’ll forget the camera’s even there and just enjoy being together. The way you laugh mid-spin, the way your hands find each other, the way your eyes light up when you’re close—that’s what I’m after. It’s real, it’s romantic, and it’s the kind of fun that makes your photos feel alive.
A HYPE WOMAN AT ITS FINEST—I’m here to keep you pumped!
Oh yes… that’s me! I truly believe God made me to be an encourager, and after 13+ years of photographing love, I’ve never met a couple I didn’t see pure beauty in. I know what you might be thinking: “Well, you haven’t met us yet—we’re the most awkward couple on the planet.” Trust me, you are not alone in feeling that way. I hear it all the time—but every single time, couples see their images and are completely moved by how the love they see on the screen between the two of them. And there's nothing more beautiful than that!
Throughout our time together, I’ll show you sneak peeks on the back of my camera, reminding you just how wonderful you truly are. My goal is for you to leave not only with gorgeous photos, but with a deeper confidence in yourselves and your love.
Katie is hands-down THE BEST in the industry.
Having her photograph our engagement & wedding was one of the greatest gifts of all (and my biggest non-negotiables. ) She made everyone feel so at ease and comfortable behind the camera, which is such a gift—especially on a day that’s full of emotions and chaos. Her presence was calming, fun, and brought so much joy to everyone around her. She doesn't just take beautiful photos—she creates an experience that allows people to shine and feel celebrated. She is worth every single penny (and then some), and I would recommend her a thousand times over. If you want someone who will deliver stunning photos and bring incredible energy and warmth to your day, Katie is your girl. We love her so much, and I feel so lucky to have had her capture our engagement and wedding day so perfectly.

HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
CAN I ORDER ALBUMS AND PRINTS FROM YOU?
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL OR MOVE MY EVENT?
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over your contract to review and sign electronically. After that, a 30% non-refundable deposit secures your session date on my calendar—yay! I never want payments to feel stressful, so beyond the deposit, we can set up a simple plan that works best for you. Whether you’d like to pay in full or spread things out in smaller payments, I’ll make sure it feels easy and clear every step of the way.
If your event is within driving distance but more than 30 miles from my home, I charge the current IRS mileage rate for every mile beyond that radius. For events more than two hours away, we’ll also chat about including a night’s accommodation.
For further destinations, I’ll research the average cost of lodging, flights, and car rental in your area, and then roll everything into one final quote—so it’s simple, clear, and all taken care of!
I will first send you some sneak peeks within 48 hours of your event! I go through and edit each photo with so much love and care, making sure the retelling of your day is absolutely perfect. Your full gallery will be ready in about 6-8 weeks, and when it hits your inbox, get ready for all the happy tears and reliving your best day ever!
You will receive an online gallery by email. From there you can view, save to your phone, download, share, and even purchase prints.
I know life can be unpredictable, and my heart is always to work with you the best I can. While the deposit is non-refundable since it holds your date, if you need to move your wedding I’ll gladly apply it toward a new date I’m available for. At the end of the day, my biggest hope is still getting to celebrate alongside you!
Absolutely! I've made sure to test the labs I have chosen within my galleries to ensure the best quality. And it's super easy! You're able to access the store right through your gallery and view all the fun printing options.
let's do this!
Here's what's next:
Send me an email if you'd like to move forward with booking - from there I will send over a link to our session contract & the deposit. A deposit of $100 will lock in your date and from there we start the dreaming! I'm happy to send an outfit guide and make location suggestions if that's helpful to you. It's my joy to help along the way in any way I can, this is meant to be FUN! And with together, I know it will be. :)
