Katarina Houghton
Boston-based new england wedding photographer
Hello! My name is Katarina. I am a Boston based wedding photographer who loves to document LOVE, serving all over New England and beyond! Capturing weddings has filled my life with incredible people and taken me to so many beautiful places. I couldn’t be more grateful.
I live just outside of Boston with the love of my life and our two fur babies. I love all things sweet, especially cheesecake. My bubbly and empathetic personality is what draws me to romance and why I find weddings so special.
I develop a relationship with each of my couples that is more than just taking photos. I cheer them on, ease their nerves, step back to allow them to have their own moments of intimacy, of course while documenting it all. Engagements and weddings are more than just milestones; they're precious memories filled with love, excitement, and anticipation. I understand the significance of these moments and the importance of preserving those memories for a lifetime.
My photography journey started at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. It was there that I studied the foundations of my craft: photographing on film, developing my own prints in the darkroom, and creating a body of work that has a deeper meaning, more than just a pretty photograph. Upon graduation, I completed a mentorship with a renowned Boston wedding photographer, who showed me the ropes of the industry and the value of crafting an elevated client experience.
My fine art background gives me a unique perspective and understanding of photography. A wedding gallery should tell a story, evoke emotion, and transport the viewer back in time through beautifully captured moments. With an editorial eye and a love for color, I strive to create bright, true-to-life and vibrant photos that are as joyous as every moment documented in them.

All I can say is Katarina did an amazing job from start to finish with my proposal photoshoot. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and communicated well. Also, the pictures turned out amazing. If we ever need to get photos done again in the area, she’ll be the first person I call.
We had such a fantastic experience with Katarina. She was so organized and made sure the day (and days leading up to) the wedding went seamlessly. She made us feel so comfortable and the photos are beautiful. We couldn’t have had a better experience and we would recommend her to everyone!!
Katarina was absolutely wonderful and extremely professional! From the first inquiry to the our wedding day, she was always prepared, on time and organized. Our engagement pictures are beautiful, and she continued to rock it with her light, airy and romantic editing of our wedding pictures. On the wedding day, she and her second shooter Taylor came a bit early, worked super hard to get all the photos they needed, and made sure to not miss any family or wedding party member on our list. We never had to wait for long for our photos to come back. In fact, our sneak peaks were available in less than 2 days!! Can’t recommend Katarina enough! If you like her style, you won’t be disappointed when you book her for your special day.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Katarina! She was super communicative and quick to respond to any questions we had in the lead up to our shoot. On the day of, she made us feel like movie stars! She has great creative instincts but also was super accommodating to our shot requests. Cannot recommend her enough!
Amazing photographer, very kind and guides throughout the shoot to ensure you have the best moments captured. Very professional and on time delivery of pictures.
Katarina helped capture the moment of my surprise proposal to my now fiancée! She was so helpful throughout the entire process - setting up a phone call to plan logistics, scoping out the location of the proposal beforehand, taking time to understand exactly what kind of shots I was looking to capture, etc. She was even flexible and understanding when our schedule had to change at the last minute. And of course most importantly, the photos she took were spectacular and will be something my fiancée and I cherish for the rest of our lives. We had a flawless experience working with her and will definitely be seeking her out again in the future. Can’t recommend her enough!
Katarina was so patient and very cooperative through out the process - planning, communicating, advising on photos, poses and even delivering the photos. I would highly recommend her for any kind of event. She’s very talented and I would love to work with her in the future.
Katarina was amazing to work with! Her calm presence and demeanor were perfect on such a crazy and hectic day! She got amazing shots of us and our party that we will treasure and amazing candids. The details photos were perfect and she captured the essence of our day perfectly! Would absolutely recommend!!
My fiancé planned a photo shoot with Katarina for when he proposed to me, and we were both blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out. Not only did she capture the “in the moment” reactions and candids so well, but also posed us naturally afterwards. She edits tastefully, accentuating an already great photo to begin with. Also, she was extremely responsive, easy to work with during the planning process, and even picked up a flower arrangement on his behalf for us to take pics with. She provides a good amount of edited photos for a very competitive price. Highly recommend!!
We can't recommend Katarina highly enough!! She was incredibly easy to work with and offered an exceptional wedding package, which included an engagement shoot (which was so good for incredible pictures and getting comfortable being photographed before the big day) as well as a second shooter for the wedding! Katarina was very professional, organized and worked so well with our vendors to make our wedding run smoothly! She got all the shots we requested and was quick to provide a sneak peek shortly after our wedding. Katarina was a joy to work with and we are so pleased that we chose her for our wedding photographer.
Our photos are incredible. We are speechless! Thank you Katarina for capturing each magical moment. You had a very important role in our wedding and these are photos we will cherish forever. You were amazing from the engagement shoot to the day of and we couldn’t ask for a more professional, caring photographer. Thank you a million times. I will forever recommend you to future wedding couples.
It’s not often that I feel inclined to write a review but when my expectations are not only met but far exceeded, I have to let people know. I hired Katarina recently to take some professional-style photos that my girlfriend and I can frame for our anniversary and I was extremely impressed with how great they turned out. Not only is Katarina a skilled and diligent photographer but can’t say enough about her innate ability to make you feel comfortable while having your picture taken. As someone who rarely gets in front of the camera, her easy-going and professional personality made the session a joy to be a part of and her pictures captured our most photogenic selves quickly without spending all day retaking shots. I will certainly be using Katarina Photography again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a fair price and exceptional quality.
Katarina was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish!! Both in a professional and casual/friendly manner, Katarina is very kind, respectful and transparent making us feel open and supported reaching out with questions, etc. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work and very flexible and understanding while also communicating clearly and professionally! And on top of that just so genuinely kind and sweet! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the photo taking process tremendously! Katarina made us feel cared for and in good hands since even before meeting us, when she reached out to both inquire our input and thoughts and also suggest a list of locations in central mass depending on what we were looking for! Going into the photo shoot itself, I still felt a little nervous and awkward and within 10 minutes of having met Katarina and heard her plan for the day and her excitement, I was totally at ease!! (We both were) It was truly a pleasure able experience from beginning to end and we feel incredibly lucky to have received such quality professional photos from Katarina!! They are BEAUTIFUL and my partner and I both feel genuinely happy with how they came out!!! Thank you so much Katarina!!!
My boyfriend and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Katarina Photography - 100% will be returning and highly recommend! She is very professional and extremely kind, making us feel comfortable and confident while shooting. We were blown away when we got the photos back!! Super professional, high quality photos and great customer service! Thank you SO much Katarina!!
Katarina took couple’s photos for me and my husband and they turned out really pretty. I’ll use her again in the future. During the photoshoot, she was very easy going and professional!
Katarina photographed our wedding a few weeks ago and I am blown away from our sneak peak. She was so incredible to work with and made us so comfortable. We aren't the best "posers" for pictures but she gave us great cues to work with. She was so responsive, organized, and professional throughout the whole process. We are so thankful she was able to capture our special day.
Katarina did a wonderful job capturing our surprise engagement! We love how the pictures turned out.
We worked with Katarina for our maternity photoshoot. She was such a pleasure to work with - very patient and extremely focused. We loved our photoshoot and the pics are absolutely stunning! We have recd. multiple compliments on our pics! Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. So glad we chose Katarina - Highly recommend!
I would strongly recommend Katarina to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Boston area! I hired Katarina for my November 2022 wedding, and we took engagement photos during the summer. My husband and I are not super comfortable having our photos taken, and Katarina's kind nature made it a fun experience! Working with Katarina was very easy -- she was very responsive throughout the planning process and was helpful in providing suggestions for first-look locations and thinking through the wedding day schedule. Most importantly, we were so happy with how our wedding and engagement photos turned out! They are beautiful and we will treasure them.
Katarina was absolutely amazing to work with! I didn't know what I wanted and she gave me a few great location options in Boston, she showed up right on time, and we were ready to go! My partner and I aren't natural at posing for photos so she gave direction and made us feel comfortable. Now I have the perfect album I'll have for a lifetime. I absolutely recommend Katarina! Also, she was super responsive at all times and was willing to change the date when the weather was poor so that we could find a sunny day.
Hands-down Phenomenal work. Super capable of carrying out a vision and working with different elements of the environment, time of day, etc. She was well equipped with knowledge of positioning, different angles and shots, and elevated the end product beyond expectations. Her skills with post really brought out some amazing nuances as well. An all-in-one person of her craft. All while being super professional and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Katarina’s couple shoot was such an amazing experience. I’ve had couple photos and head shots taken in the past by several other well-respected photographers and have not nearly been as satisfied with the product. Katarina really captures your best angles and gives super helpful direction for camera shy folks (like myself and my partner). We could not have been more comfortable during the shoot. Lastly, her editing style really suited our taste and her services are very reasonably priced. Looking forward to going to her for my future photographer needs.
We have had the pleasure of using Katarina Photography for three different sessions: an engagement session (4/2022), a couples session (10/2022) and our wedding day (11/2022). I am extremely picky with photos, especially of photos of myself. I spent weeks searching online for photographers and came across Katarina Photography. I was drawn to her work because of the lighting and colors her photo portfolio portrayed, making them look bright and timeless. I was slightly nervous, as she didn’t have as many reviews as others did, but took the chance anyways and I am SO glad that I did! Katarina Photography offers three different photography packages, and we picked the middle package that included 8 hours of coverage and an engagement session. We scheduled our engagement session for the end of April, but I could not decide a location. Katarina gave me a list of suggested locations and we met at the Boston Public Garden. The week leading up to the session, we realized our scheduled time would be raining, so we easily rescheduled our session one day later when it was warm and sunny. Even on a busy spring day in the Garden, Katarina captured absolutely stunning photos of my husband and I... who are slightly awkward taking pictures! In September, I reached out to Katarina about doing another session with her to get ourselves more comfortable with her after only meeting her once six months prior. We did an afternoon session at Appleton Farm in Ipswich, and again, Katarina worked her magic. We went towards sunset and the lighting was just incredible! During the weeks leading up to our wedding, Katarina asked for a timeline of our day. I will admit, I had no clue, and kept her waiting until the week of to nail down those details. She was very flexible and helpful during this time. She also asked for a shot list for the wedding day, and I highly suggest any bride make this. The day of is so overwhelming, and it made it easier for her and her second shooter Emme to call names for people that needed to be in the photos. Katarina and Emme were wonderful to work with on the day of the wedding. I hired Katarina to stay for the an extra 90 minutes of the wedding and she was happy to do so. In summary, Katarina was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend her to others. Communication with her was easy. Most of it was done through email, with a few phone calls and texts along the way. She is pleasant, highly responsive, organized and wants the best for her clients. We will definitely schedule another session with her for other possible events in the future!
