love notes & reviews

Where do we even begin? Kate and Josh of GSquared are incredibly special and talented people. We were going to have them shoot our wedding in Kaneohe, HI but due to COVID, plans had to be changed. I will always remember calling Kate to tell her the bad news and her answering the phone and comforting me and helping me plan and decide what steps to take next. They were there for us in the ups and downs of planning a new wedding in 3 months - with changes in restrictions, to weather, to family - they were always there for us. Kate and Josh have been able to capture intimate and important details of our relationship in a thoughtful, creative, and unique way. From engagement photos to our Washington wedding photos, they were willing to go the extra mile for us. Beyond the photos, Kate and Josh our wholesome, kind, compassionate, passionate, and loving people. We feel they are part of our family and we can't wait to work with them again in May for our re-scheduled Hawaii wedding. Kate and Josh are a power couple, adventurous, and loving souls and we thank our lucky stars everyday that they are in our lives. We love them!

Kate and Josh were absolutely incredible! We unfortunately had the pleasure of planning a wedding during 2020 and one of the least stressful and least challenging aspects was our photography. They flawlessly kept up with all of our changing plans, adhered to guidelines like rockstars, and still made it feel like a “normal” wedding. I also cannot speak highly enough about their photography, they provided a wonderful mix of artistic and traditional portraits and were willing to travel to a few different locations to capture the images we were hoping for. Not to mention the delivered sneak peeks and the full gallery insanely quickly! Because so many of our family and friends were not able to attend it was so amazing to be able to share a few photos same day. Thank you both, we will cherish the images for years to come!

Kate and Josh were simply wonderful. Incredibly flexible and willing to roll with all the changes that 2020 brought. They gave us the most amazing photos and knew exactly how to create a perfect moment. All of our friends raved about them during our wedding. HIGHLY recommend!! If you want someone to adventure with for some amazing backdrops, they’re definitely the ones! They go above and beyond!

There are not enough rave-worthy words to describe the time we had with Kate and Josh as our wedding photographers! Due to COVID, a lot of our wedding plans changed and then changed again during the last few weeks leading up to our wedding and having Kate be part of our process was seriously a godsend. Her calm throughout our storm helped us refocus and she was willing to do ANYTHING (literally!) to take the added stress off our shoulders. Kate’s communication from time of booking until after our wedding was always quick and she was so easy to get ahold of, even at odd times due to our work schedules. The morning of our wedding, it was rainy and since our venue was all outdoors, most of the seating and tables were soaked. Kate and Josh showed up shortly after the venue opened, even though we were having an evening wedding, to help set up our venue to make it perfect for us. They happily stayed later than our originally contracted time because covid regulations made dinner service and dessert time longer than usual. We seriously cannot say enough about this duo and are so thankful we were able to have them at our wedding!

Kate and Josh were great to work with. They communicated very quickly and throughly, they were very professional and gave tips throughout the entire process, were priced affordably, and they were able to change their schedule as we had to move our wedding date. I would highly recommend using them

We are incredibly grateful to have had Kate and Josh as our wedding photographers! They went above and beyond our expectations! They were an incredible help in making sure that not only were our memories of that day captured beautifully, but also helped in making sure that our event ran smoothly!

We would give Kate and Josh 6/5 stars if we could! We kept saying to each other that we could not have picked a better photographer duo to have at our wedding, especially during the uncertainty of COVID-19. We unfortunately had to postpone our large June wedding of 175 people, and instead chose to do a small elopement this year and a reception next year. This was a very tough decision, but Kate and Josh were extremely accommodating and made it so easy! They offered, out of the kindness of their hearts, to photograph both our elopement and reception next year at no extra cost to us. They also offered a couples shoot as a gift. Seriously, what photographer even offers that?! We were blown away. We are extremely grateful for their generosity, fun attitude and help throughout the wedding planning process. You cannot go wrong with them. We were also extremely impressed by their photography skills. They make you feel so comfortable in front of a camera and give great tips for looking your best. Our engagement photos and elopement photos were absolutely breathtaking, and the turn around on our photos was extremely fast! We got our elopement photos back in a week! We cannot thank Kate and Josh enough, and we plan to continue using them as our family photographers. I would recommend them to everyone!

If only I could give 6/5 stars, for it is totally deserved. Kate and Josh were incredible to work with, extremely talented and professional. Kate and Josh are incredible. From the moment we had our first consultation, I knew they were going to be a perfect match. They take time to get to know who you are and where your inspiration comes from. They are more than your average photographer. They come prepared to celebrate with you as they capture memorable moments forever! I battle anxiety and was so worried about how I would handle my wedding day. Kate was always there ensuring I had my water, keeping me calm with small distractions, and reminding me of simple details that slip our minds, for example when it’s hot out, put deodorant everywhere, lol! Multiple times throughout the day she just knew what I needed and had it ready, like shoes! The whole day just felt like I had another friend with me. They are incredibly talented, professional, and truly love what they do. They listen and plan, ensuring they don’t miss anything that is important to their client. We received our portfolio super quick, and we were speechless. It was like reliving our day all over again, and almost impossible to pick one favorite. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for future special events! Thanks Kate and Josh!

Kate and Josh were the best vendors of our wedding by far! They provided helpful guides leading up to the wedding, showed up early, helped fix my (the bride’s) hair and made it look incredible, took INCREDIBLE photos, provided sneak peeks within 24 hours, and made us feel at ease the whole time. Guests commented how they danced on the dance floor while taking pictures and were impressed by their ability to corral our large family so smoothly. We would 110% recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer that goes above and beyond.

Kate and Josh provide an incredible service that we've now been pleased to use for two very special occasions- our Engagement photos last fall, and our Wedding ceremony/ Elopement photos just this fall on Orcas Island.
Their work is amazing, their souls adventurous, and their spirits, kind. Kate coordinated a wedding the weekend before ours, and was going to shoot an entire wedding the very day after ours, and stays busy in between those monumental days, posting beautiful photos of engagement shoots, family shoots, fun holiday setups, the list goes on.. Kate is passionate about her work, and it is evident from the caliber of photos she puts out. We joked about not knowing when she has time to sleep.. to which Kate responded, "I'm a glutton for punishment, but I TRULY LOVE what I get to do."
They helped capture for us those blissful moments, when nothing else mattered, and kept us laughing. Kate was extremely helpful, even cleaning my dress‐ what a saint! And either her or Josh left us a little "happy"- a little piece of seaglass- (we found while unpacking after getting home), after my husband David told them I enjoy hunting for it, while we were taking photos on the beach. 🙂 They made our big day feel so special and celebrated!
Hannah and I couldn't be any more happy with our stunningly beautiful photos. It is a wonderful experience working with Kate and Josh, and w'ed highly recommend booking GSquared Photography for your next big event, or any event! We will definitely book again whenever we need photos.
Thank you so much again.

One word of advice I was given and pass along: If you could invest in one thing, and spend the extra money, spend it on your photographers because you will have those pictures for ever. I am so glad we did.
Our engagement photos were a blast, we really got to know Kate, and she instantly made us feel comfortable.
Kate and Josh were absolutely AMAZING. Kate definitely went over and beyond to help with the day of our wedding. She is what ever you need to help things run smoothly; seamstress, bouncer when minor meltdowns need to happen, a voice for bride and groom, coodinator of whatever falls off track... we are BEYOND GREAFUL for her stepping up.
Kate has an eye of landscapes that will make the best photos, connects with her clients, and has the ability to make it fun. She takes the individuals comfort into account, listens, and you can't help but trust her.

Choosing GSquared Photography was the best decision my husband and I made. They are so organized, they sent us forms to fill out ahead of time to make sure we captured all of the photos we wanted on our wedding day. When it came to actually taking the photos on on our wedding day, they were so efficient that photos went by so fast and easily we had extra time. Not only that they send you vendor recommendations and other wedding tips and tricks like how to change your name to make the whole planning experience easier. On the day of they acted as a day of coordinator making sure everything was running on time. Kate even taught my sister how to bustle my dress for me. Not only that, they were a lot of fun to work with and get to know. And the photos turned out spectacular!

I can't say enough about Kate!!!! Oh my god her and her husband Josh are just simply the best. Their professionalism is unmatched. Our wedding day was made perfect because of them. Kate is not just a photographer, she is a jack of all trades. She helped ease our nerves, and captured amazing moments. Her and Josh were attentive and I could not have imagined our big day without them. On top of all of that our pictures are AMAZING!!! We could not be happier, I would get married 10X over just to work with them again. We are so happy! Thanks again! You guys are the best!

Chaplain Dale
In a field of good and even very good photographers, these folks are the cream of the crop. Accomplished, creative, fun and helpful. I've worked with lots of fine photographers, but you will not find better than GSquared. What sets them apart -- apart from their mad skills -- is an unrivaled teamwork and coordination. They think ahead with an eye to what the result will be. They also have that feel for capturing the spontaneous. They get to know their couple and the event and translate that into tangible memories. I'm happy to highly recommend them. There are no "do-overs" in this business. GSquared will get it right. You will be well served and will not be disappointed. In a word, they are my fave!

We have worked together on wedding teams and on real weddings. I am always blown away with the beautiful shots. Amazing work!
The most amazing photographer there is! Kate and Josh are absolutely in a League of their own, every part of our experience with GSquared- from the initial discussion of our goals for the event to the stunning photography was beyond what we could have asked for (all while going above and beyond with advise along the way). We cannot recommend GSquared highly enough for your event.
Blue Lark Events
I had the pleasure of working with Kate & Josh for a wedding in Portland. They make an excellent team and are knowledgeable, professional and hard working. As a planner, I knew my couple was in good hands when I was greeting vendors or helping to flip the space. They were able to work quickly and efficiently when there was in a delay in our schedule and were able to capture everything the couple requested, and more!

Kate shot an engagement session at our venue and created an amazing photographic memory for the couple. She has a fantastic eye for lighting and utilized the setting sun to showcase the couple and the site into artistic mastery. As a wedding venue owner, we see a lot of photography and look for talent that takes our natural beauty to the maximum. Matt and I were very impressed with your work, Kate and look forward to having you here regularly for weddings!
