Welcome to my Blog!


Aloha, my name is Ken Kato and thank you

Northern California and Maui. I have an amazing career of traveling and photographing weddings. Through this blog I will post images from recent weddings, engagements and update you on what's going on in my life. To

Choosing a photographer

It is of  the utmost importance to
pick a photographer with whom you are compatible; a photographer that
makes you laugh and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
Great photos happen when you are yourself, not when you are reserved.
Through this blog I show you my best work and my personality to
help you figure out if I'm the right photographer for you.

Huge Mahalo for visiting my BLOG!

Shannon & Patrick’s wedding at Hans Fahden Winery in Calistaga

Shannon & Patrick are so great! The wedding took place at Hans Fahden Vineyards in Calistoga. There’s so much lush greenery, hills, and a beautiful pond brimming with lily pads cattails, and koi, that it’s hard to see the vineyards. It is, however, cradled between cabernet vineyards and mountainous ridges soaring 1,000 feet above the Napa Valley. Paths meander through patches of roses and sunflowers. We are so glad we got to work with both of them, what amazing energy these two have, you both are very blessed!! Here are some of my favorite images from Hans Fahden Winery.
