A United Nations photojournalist turned wedding photographer passionate about capturing those lost moments that make us.

Born to Cuban and French designers in Brooklyn, Katherine's multicultural background and life in the big city led her to learn to pay attention to the little details that others often miss.
Katherine received her BA from the prestigious Tufts University and trained in long-form narrative photojournalism under World Press Photo Chairman Gary Knight. While based in Rome working for the United Nations, she was hit by a car on her way home from work — what she calls her “Regina George” moment.
While spending a year in recovery at home in NYC, she began noticing how obsessively people documented every aspect of their life and participated in the world through a screen, but rarely lived fully present in the moment. Katherine has since become passionate about capturing those lost moments that make us.
Katherine has worked weddings and events worldwide - including Hong Kong, Italy, Kenya, Myanmar, England, Thailand, California, and more -- photographing past US presidents, celebrities, and other icons of our generation.
Her work has been featured in Vogue, The New York Times, The Cut, Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Carats & Cake, Rangefinder Magazine, and many more.
the power of a story well told
meet katherine marchand
After over 200 weddings from New York to Hong Kong, I've seen and done it all. While I come into every event a seasoned professional who will always guide you with a helping hand, I am always honored to capture this special day for you - and am excited as hell. I love my job.

Those *blink and you miss it* moments that you will feel and remember forever. Captured.
THE power of IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS
No more awkward photo of your shoes or dress hanging, or stuffy images of bouquets. While we capture everything in full, we'll bring life to many of the photos so they become part of the story of your day.

No ugly flash ruining the ambience here. Your photos will have beautiful true-to-life lighting from your candlelit reception, with a touch of romantic motion that prevents your images from feeling static.
NATURAL LIGHT, ALWAYS

Your wedding photos will be more than just real candids of the two of you, but intentional and moving art, capturing the essence of your partnership without feeling like a wedding trend on Pinterest.
PORTRAITS THAT FEEL LIKE ART
02
You can look epic in photos without it feeling forced or cliche. We'll mix the fun candids that capture your personalities with the rad editorial photos that make you go "holy sh*t" - an alternative approach.
