WEDDINGS & PARTIES"Beautiful wedding photos that evoke the memories of our special day. Thank you Katariina for photographing our wedding exactly the way we wanted - highly professional quality but with warmth and personality. You really put us at ease and gave us great confidence in your abilities prior to the wedding by arranging an engagement shoot with us which turned out to be good fun and got us used to having our photo taken professionally. During the wedding you were very discreet and got all the important shots without us really noticing which resulted in really natural looking photos that we can treasure as a reminder of the day. When we needed slightly more formal / posed shots you were excellent at organising people into place and giving just enough direction to make a lovely picture. We had a brilliant time at our wedding and you've captured the spirit of the day beautifully - thank you!" Amy & Arno
"Katariina was the photographer at our wedding and she did an amazing job! I've not seen wedding photos like these before and they captured the day perfectly. Katariina was a pleasure to work with, always keeping close to us throughout the process and extremely eager to make sure that we were looked after. We had an engagement shoot which allowed us to get used to the camera as we weren't overly keen on our photo been taken. This helped a lot and also gave us some great photos! Throughout the wedding day Katariina was extremely careful not to get in the way of the proceedings and everyone commented on how friendly and professional she was. I didn't imagine that our photos would look this good and are so pleased that we had Katariina as our photographer. Thank you so much for your time and effort Kati!!" Chris and Sophie
"Katariina became our photographer quite last minute for our wedding but she came with a very high recommendation. This turned out to be a nice surprise in the end as I could not have asked for a more friendly, professional and relaxed photographer for our wedding on the 16th of July 2011. Katariina arrived right on cue at our venue and took some great relaxed shots prior to the ceremony, capturing some very special moments with my family and bridesmaids. Throughout the ceremony I was almost unaware that she was even there but she took fantastic shots of our vows, a reading by my brother and our guests overall. We had many compliments from friends and family in regards to how upbeat, sociable and professional Katariina was throughout the day and also in gathering everyone together for posed and group pictures. It really did feel like Katariina was a guest as well as our photographer, blending in and taking some wonderful pictures which my husband and I will cherish for a life time. We have been so pleased with the results, even looking at many pictures which were taken whilst we were unaware but which capture fantastic moments – particularly during the speeches and the early part of our evening celebrations. I would recommend Katariina as a photographer in any capacity; she certainly made me feel relaxed and knew how to get the best pictures throughout the day. She definitely worked hard and the pictures speak for themselves as to Katariina's talent and flair for capturing wonderful moments and memories in photographs." Lisa Pasmore
"I had Katariina Jarvinen take the photos at my wedding in April 2010. She was there throughout the entire process and took not only the mainstream bride and groom photos with great skill, but a whole host of beautiful and candid moments between bride and groom and importantly, the family and relatives. Discrete and courteous at all times, she adapted herself to our party's style and won the trust of everyone, allowing her to build up an excellent portfolio of high-quality structured and natural photos, ranging from portraits, couples, and group shots through to "action" shots (e.g. with people dancing), and wonderful shots of the landscape around the wedding venue. This all made for a great wedding album which looks like something out of a movie, and we will treasure it for the rest of our lives. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katariina as an event photographer of the highest calibre. She engages people and seems to know exactly the right aspects of the event to capture. Katariina understands that you have to know what is really going on with the subject in order to produce those "magical" shots, and her great personality makes that easy." Paul St G
"Katariina was able to capture some of the most moving & memorable moments of our day because we felt so comfortable with her. She took the time to research our locations, finding all the best shots, making the photos natural and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we would highly recommend her." Lucy Simmons
"One of my biggest concerns about my wedding day, besides fitting into my dress - but that is another story, was my picture being taken. Like many other people, I am very critical of pictures taken of me. I feel I don't have just one bad side, but I have bad sides from most angles! Katariina had taken some shots of us previously, in celebration of our engagement – we used one of the photographs to make into Christmas cards! She discussed ideas about how we wanted things to flow on our wedding day and she made me feel so relaxed and at ease on the day. We also loved her unique ideas for some of the shots after the ceremony, which were so different to wedding photographs that we had seen before. The pictures she took were so lovely I posted lots of them online! I was so proud of them – she managed to totally capture the whole day from start to finish with such finesse. One key thing I want to point out too is that Katariina also managed to capture truly beautiful natural shots of expressions in our faces that lasted a millisecond that completely showed the exact emotions we felt at the time, something most other photographers seem to just miss. It is so difficult trying to choose which photographs to put into a Wedding Book we are making up, let alone the one we are having made into a large Canvas print on our lounge wall!" Tara Rees Lawrence
"Kati was very professional and friendly both in the run up to our wedding and on the day itself. She took the time to ask just the right questions to ensure she understood our requirements. Paul Hardcastle
"Katariina was very professional and we were all impressed with her level of service. The pictures she took at my parents' party were of high quality and she managed to capture all the memorable events on the day. I will definitely be using her services again when required and will recommend her services to friends and family." Yinka Shoge

PORTRAITS"Photographer, Kati did a photo shoot of me to develop my portfolio as a Cabaret performer and dancer. Her studio was charming, comfortable and full of character - just like the photographer! Kati is extremely professional, friendly and ensures that you are comfortable through out the shoot. She works hard to achieve what you want out of the shoot but she also has a playful and improvisational side which makes for a great shoot with very successful results! I had loads of fun working with Kati and loved the photos I got at the end."
"I Have Had A Fabulous Experience Doing Many Shoots With Katariina! A Fantastic Photographer To Work With, She Is Very Enthusiastic And Passionate About Getting Every Shot Perfect With Good Artistic Ideas For Poses And Props! Beautifully Lit Photographs, My Photoshoot Experiences With Katariina Have Been Professional Yet Extremely Enjoyable, Its Always A Very Friendly, Fun Atmosphere To Work In... Oh And Of Course A Complete Giggle! I Am Always Amazed And Extremely Happy With How Fantastic The Final Photographs Look And The Professional Quality Provided! I 100% Recommend Using Her As A Photographer, And Look Forward To Working With Her Again Myself Sometime In The Future!"
"It is always a little scarey to stand in front of the camera - Katariina was great for making me more relaxed, and being me... I love the way her photos are presented, not just beautiful but the things she is really focused on - that make people realise what her art is all about. The experience was wonderful."
So, how long have you got to hear me sing Katariina's praises? Because I could go on for a while, but I won't. She took consistently gorgeous photographs of me for a whole afternoon, and I love them all so much that I have about twenty of them on my bedroom wall! Katariina made me feel beautiful, and really, what higher praise can anyone give? "It was a great experience having a photo shoot by Katariina in May 2009. Alongside her obvious talent in photography, she has a natural ability to facilitate her client's energy. As a result, my photographs came out so natural, reflecting my real expression and personality. I value her skill to reflect personality and joy into the portrait photography as well as her technical skills for a quality finish in print. I highly recommend using Light Trick Photography/Katariina as a photographer to anyone. I look forward to my next photo shoot in summer 2010 as she exceeded my expectation in her delivery last time. Katariina, you make a difference because you were born to do this work, enjoy living your passion in your work!"
"I asked Kati to take a set of photos for my new improvisation business website - the brief was to photograph me in a way that was consistent with what my business does - creative, spontaneous, fun, professional. Kati made me feel at ease in the studio and was very patient and relaxed about taking the photos. The outcome of the shoot was a set of around 50 photos, of which I would have been happy to use about 40, which is excellent. The use of lights was good and I've had so many nice comments about the photos, that I use them for anything where I need to submit a picture. You can check out the ones I chose for my website here: www.impromptyou.co.uk" Rachel Denyer
"Katariina took some fantastic photos of me recently and I couldn't be happier with them. My social media photo really needed updating and she did a wonderful job. I was quite nervous but she made me feel at ease and managed to get some lovely photos - too many to choose from in fact! - Katariina is extremely talented, and I highly recommend using Light Trick Photography."
"Katariina did excellent portrait work for my daughter aged 8. She was very quick at setting up, and handled the task of keeping my daughter interested and keen very well. Katariina's creativity and technical ability resulted in some stunning photos that we will treasure forever. I would recommend her to anyone considering portrait work for themselves or family." Howard Sayer
"I have had two photoshoots with Kati - one of my sister and I and the other of my dog, Marvin - and in both I found Kati to be calm, friendly, polite and helpful. She made me feel comfortable and at ease and I think this is reflected in the photos, which I am very happy with." Chloe Lankshear
PET PORTRAITS"I asked Katariina to photograph our aged Irish Setter as a surprise birthday present for my wife, Lucy. Katariina could not have been more helpful in arranging to meet me and smuggled dog, carrying out the photo shoot in less than ideal circumstances (outdoors in hot weather), sending the best pix for me to choose from, and then providing the framed result. Lucy was delighted with the result which is an accomplished portrait of our much loved dog, and which sooner than we would wish will become a cherished momento for which we have Katariina to thank."
