Whether or not you do a First Look is up to you. If you’ve always dreamed of seeing one another down the aisle for the first time, skip the First Look. If you’d prefer to maximize time at cocktail hour and with each other on the day, let’s plan for it.  Many couples are immediately less stressed when they finally see their partner instead of waiting until the ceremony, but it is totally up to you and what you are envisioning.

Instead of the usual spiel, let me give you the real scoop on what I do and why it might just be what you're looking for in your wedding photographer.

My approach? It’s all about capturing the raw, unfiltered joy and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. I believe in photography that tells a story - your story - with all its unique quirks, laughter, and, of course, love.

I’m talking about the tearful smiles, the spontaneous dances, and the silent glances that speak volumes. My style is a blend of candid documentary and artistic flair, ensuring each photo feels as real and vibrant as the moment it captures. I don't just take pictures; you don't just want your picture taken, you want your memories preserved.

Welcome to the party! I’m Katherine Marchand.
