About Kathryn Bunnell:
Kathy was born an artist. From a very early age, she expressed herself through drawing, painting, sculpting and photography. She is the stereotypical lefty whose passion for art is evident in everything she does.An art scholarship partially based on her photography work helped to fund her collegiate studies. Her beloved 10th birthday present, a Pentax 35mm camera, helped document her journeys along the way. She completed coursework in a variety of artistic mediums. Her oil paintings were featured in the only solo freshman art show of the year at Elms College.Her post-grad employment at WWLP TV22 taught her a lot about lighting subjects, composing images and how to work in high-pressure environments. Further professional experience in event planning gave her a well-rounded wedding background.Kathy's artistic attention turned to event photography as she planned her own nuptials. After meeting with several area photographers, she felt that none of them understood how she wanted her wedding to be documented on camera. Vowing to deliver what she had been looking for in her own search for a wedding photographer, Kathy sought to bring a younger, fresher approach to wedding photography.After interning with other area photographers, Kathy started Bunnell Photography. Her business took off rapidly and she became one of the area's few full-time wedding photographers after only two years in practice. Her old trusty Pentax has long since been replaced by state-of-the-art professional digital cameras and lenses.Bunnell Photography's images have been featured in magazines, reception venues and print ads. Kathryn Bunnell has also been recognized as a Canon Professional shooter.Kathy has had the honor of photographing more than 400 weddings. Her clients love her approachable, down-to-earth demeanor as well as the stunning images she creates.

Wedding Photography FAQs
Why do I need to hire a professional wedding photographer? A good professional wedding photographer has a combination of extensive experience, updated equipment, and artistic ability. A wedding is a once in a lifetime event involving countless special moments that cannot be recreated. An experienced photographer will know how to be in the right place at the right time, how to effectively shoot images in varying light conditions, and most importantly will be able to anticipate those special moments and capture them in an artistic fashion.In this age of digital cameras, we see amateurs venturing into wedding photography often. A hobbyist won't have nearly the same caliber of equipment to capture images, especially in a dimly lit church or reception venue. The resulting photos will be poorly lit and unflattering (if they are even captured at all!). An amateur won't usually have backup cameras or photographers in case something goes wrong. Also, an inexperienced photographer won't have the skills to nicely pose people and to compose pictures in an artistic way.
Why does a wedding photographer cost so much? First, we use only the highest quality cameras and lenses. Our equipment is updated each year so we are using the best of today's technology for our work. We have a wide range of lenses to fit different shooting conditions. To give you an idea, we bring well over $10,000 in camera equipment to weddings. Finally, photos are processed in professional labs, giving your images the best treatment possible.
When should I book a wedding photographer? Most of our clients book at least a year in advance to help ensure that we have the date available. Also, by booking early you lock in the current year's prices which may save you money. It is not unusual for us to book weddings two years in advance. We are occasionally able to accommodate weddings with less notice.
Can we customize packages? Absolutely! We do not want to lock you in to a higher package that includes options you do not desire. We are able to customize our packages to fit exactly what you want to include.
Who will be the photographer at my wedding? All weddings (unless otherwise contracted) are photographed by Kathryn Bunnell. All packages except the Budget package include Kathy plus a 2nd photographer. We utilize a handpicked group of photographers as our 2nd shooters.
Do I need a 2nd photographer? We highly recommend using a 2nd photographer for weddings over 50 people. Weddings involve a lot of special moments happening in a short amount of time so it is beneficial to have extra coverage. In our experience, two photographers will give you multiple angles during the ceremony, additional use of special lenses, cocktail hour photos while posed photos are being taken, and an additional set of eyes to capture candid photos.All of our packages except the Budget package include two photographers. We do realize it is not always an option for smaller budgets so we offer a solo photographer in our Budget package.
What is your photography style? We find it difficult to describe our style using one of the common buzzwords popular in today's wedding photography. We shoot mostly candids. We do pose family, bridal party, and bride and groom shots but we try to keep those photos as natural as possible. Our proof albums include a good amount of photojournalistic, artistic, and non-traditional images while still including some timeless traditional images. The best way to see our style is to come to look at our albums and see for yourself!
Are you obtrusive during the ceremony or reception? Absolutely not. We find that our client's favorite images are often the ones they didn't see us taking. We try to keep to the sides or back of the ceremony so as not to be distracting to you or your guests. We have long zoom lenses to get us up close to the action without being in the middle of your event.During the reception you should barely notice us working. We never interrupt your formal dances, bug guests for posed pictures (unless you request something specific), or pass around business cards.
What is your wedding payment plan? The exact payments depend on the package selected, but the initial deposit is approx. 30% of the contract price. Additional payments are scheduled 6 months before the wedding, 1 month before the wedding, and when photos and albums are received. Other terms may be accommodated upon request.
Do you have backup photographers? We do have a pool of backup photographers. They are our 2nd shooters who assist us regularly at weddings. In the event of an emergency or severe illness, you would receive a photographer who shares our style and way of working. Our backup photographer system has only needed to be used once in over 400 weddings but it is essential that we have the built-in coverage just in case.
Do you have backup equipment? Our equipment is regularly updated and professionally maintained. Rarely do we encounter a problem but we do have a full set of backup equipment and lenses onsite at all weddings. In addition, we shoot crucial moments while carrying a 2nd backup camera in case, for example, one camera stops working during the ceremony processional.
Have you worked at my venue before? Most likely yes. We have been photographing hundreds of weddings in the area since 2001. Ask and we may be able to show you sample images from your venue.
What do you wear to weddings? We dress professionally and conservatively at all weddings.
Do you offer a winter wedding discount/weekday wedding discount? We do offer a 25% discount for weddings between Thanksgiving and mid-April. The same discount applies for weddings that take place Monday-Thursday (except holidays).
Do you shoot other types of events, portraits, or commercial photography? Yes, we have experience in shooting a variety of subjects. We would be happy to offer more information on request.
Packages can be customized to fit your exact needs. Prices are for weddings in the Western MA/
Northern CT area. A nominal travel fee may apply for other areas. Prices do not include

No words can truly express my gratitude for all you and your assistant did at our wedding. Not only were our photographs beautiful but you captured all of the special moments that went by so fast.
I would also like to thank you for helping me get through our photos and then DRIVING me in your car! Never thought I would be carsick in the limo on my wedding day!
I really appreciate how much you cared and were willing to help. I will continue to recommend you to others. You really are a step above the rest and my heart is thankful to have met you.
Brian & Kristina Lynch
We wanted to thank you again for being so fun and easy to work with at our wedding. You really made us feel comfortable even in the formal pictures. You did such a great job that it was no
surprise when my maid-of-honor asked for your name when she planned her wedding! I have to add that it was great to see you at her wedding and her pictures are beautiful, too. We are
so happy that our friends recommended you, and we love our pictures!
