About this supplier

Last update: August 2026

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

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

I don’t just photograph weddings I observe, feel, and translate moments into something timeless. My work is a blend of documentary honesty and editorial elegance, created for couples who value depth, style, and something quietly different. I’m guided by light, emotion, and a calm, intuitive presence.

My approach is natural and thoughtful, with a strong focus on real moments, genuine connection, and the atmosphere of the day. I let weddings 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.

My 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 your day actually felt, while still looking beautifully considered.

From our first conversation through to final delivery, I want the whole experience to feel easy and personal. My 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.

I regularly photograph weddings across Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Somerset, the Cotswolds, and London, and I’m always happy to travel further afield for destination celebrations.

My 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.

Beautiful Experience

Kate was the photographer for my daughters wedding in April. She was professional and warm. She picked up on so many small details which made the photographs so special. We received a slide show set to beautiful music which is such a lovely keepsake, along with the beautiful photos.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer with an eye for detail. Receiving the photos was like reliving the beautiful day all over again.

Would recommend!

Kate was a great wedding photographer, we would highly recommend her. She is very passionate, cheerful and responsive. After our wedding so many guests commented on how much they loved the photographer and they also said the same when they saw the quality of the photos she produced. After our wedding, two of the guests booked her for their own wedding as well.

Photos we will love for a lifetime

Kate was our wedding photographer in August 2025. We had a wonderful experience and we would recommend her again and again! She was great to work with, she made sure we knew what to expect and gave us a schedule ahead of time, she took the time to understand us as a couple, our families dynamics and produced the most wonderful pictures we could’ve wished for! Thank you so much Kate! These are memories we get to cherish forever thanks to you!

The best photographer!💖

🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🤍🤍🤍

We travelled to London from abroad a few weeks ago and we were looking for a London engagement photographer when we came across Kate Izak Photography — and we’re so glad we did.

From the very first message, Kate felt incredibly real and easy to talk to. No pressure, no awkward sales talk — just someone who genuinely loves what she does. We had a few ideas in mind but weren’t sure how an engagement shoot in a busy city like London would work, and she guided us through everything so naturally.

The weather really wasn’t on our side (classic grey London day), but somehow Kate made it work beautifully. The photos feel very natural and full of atmosphere — not overly posed, just real moments. When we saw the gallery, we honestly couldn’t believe how lovely London looked. She captured the city in such a timeless, romantic way.

What we appreciated most was how comfortable she made us feel. We’re not people who are used to being in front of the camera, but nothing felt forced. It felt more like walking around London with a friend who just happens to be very talented with a camera.

We’re so glad we chose Kate. The whole experience felt personal and relaxed, and the photos mean so much to us. We loved it so much that we’ve now asked her to photograph our wedding abroad, which probably says everything.

If you’re looking for a London engagement photographer who is warm, natural, and incredibly talented, we honestly couldn’t recommend Kate Izak Photography & Film enough.

Simply incredible

Calling her an amazing photographer almost feels like an understatement!
From the very start, she went above and beyond to make sure every single moment was captured so beautifully. The photos are absolutely stunning — perfect in every way, with incredible quality — and they’re memories we’ll treasure forever.
But more than that, she is a truly wonderful human. So supportive, calming, and kind, she made us and all our guests feel completely at ease throughout the day. She wasn’t just there taking photos — she was there with us, every step of the way.
An absolute joy to work with, and the final images are beyond anything we could have hoped for. We honestly can’t express how grateful we are. Highly, highly recommended. Thanks Kate Izak Photography

Beautiful Photos, Even More Beautiful Person

Kate honestly felt like part of our day, not just our photographer. From the very beginning, she was kind, calm, and so easy to be around.
She is an exceptional photographer and a truly beautiful soul. She is extremely talented, but also incredibly fun and dedicated — you can genuinely see that she simply loves people. Her passion for her couples is obvious in everything she does, and her commitment and love to her craft is second to none.
On the wedding day, nothing felt forced or awkward. Love and more love we feel all the time her generous and kind personality. We asked for relaxed, candid photos with just a few formal shots, and Kate delivered the most beautiful images — far better than we could have ever imagined. Every photo feels natural, emotional, and completely us. She guided us, and we had so much fun together.
I’m usually quite shy in front of the camera, but Kate has such a gentle way of putting people at ease that it never felt uncomfortable. With lots of amazing distraction of laugh. Looking through our photos now feels like stepping right back into the day.
We’re very private people, but by the end of it all, Kate felt like a friend for life. We simply love her and are so grateful she captured our wedding so perfectly — we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else. Thank you

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.
