About Kate Uhry Photography
I’ve been photographing weddings and families for over 20 years. I grew up in New York City and have called Connecticut home for more than two decades, where I live in a small 1734 Cape surrounded by gardens, two Golden Retrievers, and a flock of chickens.
I’m deeply drawn to painting and to life outdoors—time spent in the countryside, along rivers, or by the ocean—places whose quiet beauty continually shapes and inspires my work.
xo, Kate

I was trained in photography by the late Michael Simon at Beloit College, where I studied art at a liberal arts college and mastered traditional film and darkroom techniques.
My career led me into photojournalism, photographing politicians, talk show hosts, and writers, as well as commercial work for catalogs and magazines. This experience shaped my documentary approach and my instinct for candid, art-driven imagery.
Drawing inspiration from both painting and photography, I create images that feel natural, honest, and timeless—allowing moments to unfold as they truly are.
Being photographed shouldn't feel profromative . I work quietly and intuitively, creating space for things to unfold naturally. The Joy, the tenderness, and the moments in-between.
