I'm all about:
Capturing love in its truest form
Every story is unique, and my goal is to capture those real, heartfelt moments that make yours unforgettable.
I’m Katie, a photographer who is 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. One of my favorite parts of this work is watching confidence grow right in front of my lens. I get to see couples go from, “We’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward!” to, “No way, that’s us?!” My heart could burst every time, because what you’re seeing in those photos is what I see in you from the very beginning. It’s just you with the one who brings you comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging like no one else can. That, to me, is love in its most simple and beautiful form, and it’s what I capture best. During our time together, I’ll guide you when needed and step back when it’s time to just be, giving you the space to feel the moment without distraction. Whether we’re lakeside, 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.

Katie is sunshine in human form and a master of photography!
We were nervous booking a photographer we’d never met from another state, but through every step of the way I was affirmed that we made the right choice with Katie. If you’re looking for someone who will invest themselves in your love story to perfectly illustrate it in photos, take the time to scout out locations ahead of time, have the utmost patience and flexibility in the real-time wedding day schedule, and make you laugh all day long, look no further than Katie. She even made us newbies feel comfortable in front of the camera, and our pictures look straight out of a magazine! And a bonus, she was a pro at making our dog look at the camera — and we very much cherish those photos!

KATIE WAS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & 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.
