“ Working with Kate Starkel is a breath of fresh air and such a delight. As the Brand Manager of a catering + events company, I recently had the pleasure of working with her on a styled shoot.  Kate connected multiple vendors in the wedding + events community in Louisville, KY. From the start, Kate had a strong vision for the collective shoot, she was clear in her communication and direction and open to collaboration with a "yes, and" attitude. Kate attracts kind and unique artists as she is exactly that.

When you see her photography, it is very clear that it is her work. Kate brings warmth, intimacy + a dreamy quality to her subjects. We were so pleased with how she captured the essence of our culinary team and their creations. Since the shoot, we have used her work for a print magazine ad as well as Chef's Table campaign. We look forward to working with Kate a lot more in the future. â€ś

KIND WORDS,

“ Kate was so thoughtful with our space. She seemed to really observe it beyond just the visual and it was clearly displayed in her photos! The emotion of the room was palpable. She also captured some portraits at the same time and she was very comforting and made me feel relaxed while shooting. I would recommend Kate if you’re looking for an intentionally detailed, calm and caring photographer that produces beautiful and timeless photos. ”

— Amanda Jacobs Design

“ Kate has provided creative direction and photography for The Butcher Rose, bringing cohesive imagery to the business to be used across platforms. Kate has the ability to create a vision, then surpass all expectations in executing the vision. Kate has an eye for taking a space and bringing it to its full potential. Her unique ability to use natural lighting in photography to highlight features and create depth in images sets her work apart. Kate captures The Butcher Rose in its best light. â€ś
