Last update: January 2026

Celebrated as the 'Top Wedding Photographer in the UK' by Honeymoon and Wedding Magazine.

Kate Izak is a top UK wedding photographer, based in Winchester, Hampshire, specialising in modern weddings across the South of England, the UK and abroad.

Her approach is natural and thoughtful, with a strong focus on real moments, genuine connection and the atmosphere of the day. She allows weddings to unfold as they happen, gently guiding when needed and stepping back when moments speak for themselves. It’s about knowing when to observe quietly and when a little direction helps — something that comes with experience and a calm, reassuring presence.

Kate’s work blends honest, documentary storytelling with relaxed, well-composed portraits that never feel stiff or overly posed. The result is imagery that feels modern, emotional and true to how the day actually felt, while still looking beautifully considered.

From the first conversation through to final delivery, the experience is designed to feel easy and personal. Wedding collections include full-day coverage, carefully edited images in both colour and black & white, a private online gallery for viewing and downloading, and a beautifully presented USB keepsake.

Kate regularly photographs weddings across Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Somerset, the Cotswolds and London, and is always happy to travel further afield for destination celebrations.

Her work is best suited to couples planning modern weddings who value connection, atmosphere and timeless imagery, and who want their day documented in a way that feels relaxed, genuine and effortlessly elegant.

Wonderful amazing photogrpahy at its best!

WHAT A FABULOUS PHOTOGRAPHER - AND PERSON! Kate Izak thank you for playing such a significant part in our wedding day and working all day long to capture some amazing memories! Not only was your photography so personal but natural, what a truly friendly, lovey lady who called me in the morning to check on the bride! Our guests commented on how friendly and personable Kate was, with her videographer Steve who together made the perfect team. Kate made friends with many of the guests which made having so many photos fun rather than formal and I can safely say everyone found Kate a pleasure to have on the day. We cannot thank you enough for your hard work, your friendliness, your fabulous photography and the atmosphere you created. If more wedding couples book you, they will have made a perfect choice! Love the new Mr and Mrs Platen-Mills ♥

We Adore Kate

We absolutely adore Kate. She was fantastic. Her energy is infectious, she got everyone laughing within seconds and made the whole day so fun! Kate met us at the venue a few weeks before the wedding to go through what we wanted and made sure we were happy. She caught some stunning moments and I am so pleased she was part of our day!

Delighted!

When we first met Kate we were struck by her enthusiasm, professionalism, warmth and efficiency so we were not at all surprised that on the day of our wedding that she nailed our brief! We asked for relaxed candid shots with a few formal photographs, Kate produced the most beautiful shots way better than we could have ever imagined. I am camera shy but Kate gave me some great advice prior to the wedding day which enabled me to relax & contributed towards these lovely candid shots. Not only did Kate deliver beautiful photos but she has been extremely helpful post wedding helping us with the selection of images. I would highly recommend Kate for anyone looking for a wedding photographer, her talent & professionalism shone out & we are so grateful to her for capturing perfectly all these beautiful memories on this very special day! Thank you Kate x

Kate Izak is pure Magic.

Kate Izaks work is pure magic. We first met Kate at a wedding fair and we fell in love with her soul and passion for photography instantly. She gave us excitement, warmth and fun, which was everything we were looking for.
She always made everything calm, easy and playful.
Kate became one of the family and was loved by all.
The photos that we received were electric and still give me butterflies 6 months later. She captured every magical moment. She went above and beyond and gave us more than we could have ever imagined.

Exactly what we wanted!

Kate was our photographer for our wedding on 11/11/23. Prior to the wedding Kate was very responsive, listened to everything we wanted, thought of ideas for pictures and overall gives her full attention to your special day.
On the day Kate done amazing at dealing with our large wedding party, ensured she took the group shots we requested and then snapped perfect moments as we enjoyed our day. Kate is very subtle at moving around as your day is happening. The photos we now have are beautiful and we have so many to choose from for an album. We Highly recommend Kate for beautiful natural shots and perfect arranged group photos!
Thank you Kate!

It felt like working with a family member, Kate makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. She spends so much time getting to know her clients and their wishes for their big day.

We love Kate!

Kate went above and beyond all expectations.
Kate outshined ALL of the potential photographers at the Wedding Fair with her professionalism and passion. She got just excited for our wedding as we were and she told us exactly what to expect and what she’d need.

We had regular conversations and meets to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.

On the day Kate worked soo hard to capture all the moments (possibly could have had another photographer) but she captured everything and even offered to jump in the sea to get a good photo of us on the beach.

We cannot fault Kate in any way!

A ball of sunshine and energy

From the start Kate was a ball of sunshine and energy. Neither of us are at all comfortable being photographed and rarely happy looking at the end result and we are both very private people. Kate accepted, embraced and really worked with us in that. She reassured us, and tailored her package options to allow us to feel that we got exactly what we wanted and needed.
She had a plan from the start to tell a story through her pictures but that plan was completely adaptable to our needs and desires. She took notice of the style of photos we liked and type of shots we wanted of the day. One of the ways this adaptability showed through and meant so much to me in particular was over photos of our wedding rings. We got married during Covid and as such this was our re-wedding, wearing my wedding ring means the world to me; since it was placed on my finger I have never taken it off. Talking to Kate about some of the details photos she mentioned wanting to have pictures of my wedding ring and engagement ring with the flowers, when I said I didn’t want to take my wedding ring off she was kind and understanding, and totally went with my desire to have an antique family ring I was planning to wear as well photographed instead. This meant the world to me and my family and I utterly love those photos and the fact that that ring got its own moment, whilst my wedding ring got to stay on my finger.
She checked in with us throughout the planning and in the run up to the day.
On the day she was more energy and sunshine, charming and delighting our guests with her presence and enthusiasm. Our guests adored her. She took utterly beautiful pictures which are a delight to look back on, bring a smile to our hearts every time we look through them.
Her respect of our privacy was touching and of huge importance to us. She checked in with us before releasing any photos of our special day to the public. Allowing us to vet each one, to ensure that no one, us nor our guests, felt their privacy had been invaded.
We recommend Kate as a wonderful photographer, story teller and person. She will bring light, energy, kindness and understanding to your day, before, during and after.

Happy couple- amazing photographer

Our wedding day last year was taken to unimaginable heights by the extraordinary talent of Kate Izak Photography. From the very first moment we met Kate, her genuine warmth and meticulous attention to detail made us feel like we had known her forever. Her artistic eye flawlessly captured the raw emotions, stolen glances, and tender whispers that made our day so special. Kate seamlessly blended into our celebration, creating the most intimate and authentic moments with finesse.
When we received the final collection of photographs, we were instantly transported back to that sacred altar and joy-filled dance floor. It was as if we were reliving every precious moment all over again. Kate's unwavering dedication and unparalleled ability to capture our unique love story were truly exceptional. My family and guests commented how great she was during the day, a true maestro of light and love.
We cannot express our gratitude enough. Kate Izak Photography is a shining star in the world of wedding photography. We are forever grateful for the incredible memories she has given us. Thank you Kate
