Instead, I want you to feel like a Vogue model, while still being utterly yourselves (...while also meeting your family's expectations on what wedding photos should look like— sans authenticity sacrifice.)

My team and I are experts in lighting, angles, and details so each photo looks polished, modern, and thought-out— without being obtrusive during the wedding.

No bright lights and tripods in your face, just two fun wedding guests catching shots in the background.

Screw the same-old wedding mold — you shouldn't have to force yourself into some awkward, posed position you'd never stand in otherwise, just to

classic candid wedding photography

get the shot.

It's all about feeling yourselves while
looking like models, the genuine moments of the day, and being with your most-loved people.

On your wedding day, you would so much rather have a photographer who feels like just another friend with a camera who knows all your good angles.


I'm not the fly on the wall; I'm the friend in the room. Someone who knows when to step in for those classic shots, but also when to hang back and let the magic unfold naturally. 

With me, you won't find forced poses or artificial smiles. What you'll get are genuine, candid moments—laughter, tears, and pure, unfiltered love—all captured in a way that feels like a natural extension of your day.





Flies on the wall are annoying —they're buzzing in your ear, they're bothering you, they're distracting. We all know the feeling.

Remember when I told you I wasn't a fly-on-the-wall photographer?

Instead of buzzing in your ear, I'm buzzing around the room.

This is what i meant.

Beyond just capturing images, I immerse myself in your world, understanding the nuances that make your relationship unique. My approach is not just about being behind the camera; it's about being a part of your journey, listening to your stories, and translating those intimate moments into stunning visual narratives. This connection allows me to capture the laughter, the tears, and the unspoken bond in a way that feels deeply personal and endlessly enchanting.

I believe in doing great work and being nice to people.

(It really shouldn't be that hard!)

Say hello to wedding photos that feel like screen grabs from the HBO film of your life. Images that are more than just documentation, but rather works of art that capture the unique energy and romance of your celebration. From the quiet moments of reflection to the grand, sweeping scenes, your photos will take you right back to what it felt like to be there on the day.

CINEMATIC storytelling

"HOLY $#!T IS THAT US?!"

I stay focused on your guests throughout the entirety of your celebration, from big hugs at the welcome party to teary reactions during your parent's speech to crazy moves on the dance floor. Your final photo gallery will be filled with reactions, emotions, and moments with your guests at every stage of the day.

Natural candids of 

LOVED ONES

your people, captured as you see them

Not gonna lie, I am ecstatic flash and film photography is having a comeback. I've used these styles for years and adore how they blur the lines between modern times and vintage nostalgia. We'll incorporate the flash throughout your day, both before and after dark, to give off that less-structured, ultra-cool vibe of the day.

snaps with all the retro feels

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. 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.

Why would you have to choose?

PORTRAITS

No more cheesy photos of your shoes and dress hanging. My pictures capture all the details of your day but with a look that brings you back to what it felt like to be there... hearing the sounds of violins gently rustling through the trees, the warmth of the sun on your back during the ceremony, and the first sip of celebratory bubbles in delight.

HOW IT WORKS

Once you receive my pricing and offerings guide, we'll set up our Disco-very call 🪩 Like any good date, this is our chance to get to know each other. We’ll dive into your vision and exactly what working with me looks like. You can ask all your questions, and if needed, I’ll design a custom proposal to suit your wedding day.


It’s time to make it official and your cover-every-possible-question contract is on its way. Sign online and a flat deposit is required to lock in the date. You’ll receive my 80-page Ultimate Wedding Guide, and voila, I’m officially on your wedding team 🥂

Some call me Katherine. Some call me a Wedding Spirit Guide. I’m with you every step of the way and include a series of creative consultations to connect throughout the process. You can book one to brainstorm, chat through ideas, recommendations and, most importantly, what your dream day looks and feels like.

If you’ve also booked an engagement session, we'll shoot it anywhere from 3-12 months before the big day and it’s the perfect pre-game! Whether at local landmarks or lounging at home, this is our chance to get comfortable with each other and build confidence in front of the camera. 

About six weeks before the wedding, you’ll receive my Pre-Wedding Questionnaire. You’ll finalize the details, the wedding program and other important information like family photo groupings. We'll schedule a meeting over Zoom and review the day in detail, brainstorming the vision for photos and getting excited! There’s no guessing, so you’ll know exactly what to expect on the day. 

It’s game day baby! Camera bags are packed, film’s ready to go, and my suit is steamed 💃You’ll get a text from an overexcited, emoji-filled me that I’m ready to rock and roll and on my way! 

Then, it’s time to boogie and thanks to all our preparation and planning, the rest is a party. From the day’s beginning right to the end, we’re having a blast capturing your love with all your most special people, and you know, no matter what happens, I’ve got you.

You'll receive sneak peeks photos the day after the wedding, so your first "OMG we're married" ain't the grainy pixelalted photo your mom took on her iPhone 8 from the front row.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be deep in the cutting room, hand-selecting, editing and culling thousands of images to curate the Vogue album of your dreams. This, by far, is the most time-consuming part of the process. Pinky swear, your forever memories will be worth the wait.

Queue the wedding envy because your gallery is about to become the most visited place on the internet. It’s available online for a year and you can share it with friends and family.

Downloads are available in high resolution and web size with no watermarks or hidden fees. You’ll keep digital copies of all your digital selects, with the option to print your favorites + you’ll get my guide, ‘Treasuring Your Photos Forever with Guidance’ plus tips on how to store and enjoy your photos for years to come.

Melissa & Michael

"You’ll see in her portfolio she has captured weddings of all sizes, but it’s obvious she brings the same energy, attention, and love to all. I could go on for hours about her skill, artistry, style, and creative eye, but I’ll just say this: she has IT.  She was so easy to connect with and made us feel amazing, beginning to end."

"She captured the essence of our day and beautiful photos of us that 100% feel like us." 

Ariane & Keelan

"As a wedding partner, Katherine exceeded all expectations. Her dedication and personalized approach made us feel like we were her sole focus, despite knowing she had other clients. The 1000+ photos we received were pure magic. Each image captured emotions in the most artistic and creative way, precisely aligning with our vision."

"From the outset, her impeccable communication and responsiveness put us at ease."

Tannaz & Joseph

"Imagine pulling up your wedding photos and returning to an exact moment - a laugh, hug, tear, cheers - captured and frozen in time. Now imagine the awe of looking at your wedding photos for the first time wholly surprised that someone was there taking a picture of that special moment. That's Katherine's style."

"She is the most intentional, present, fly-on-the-wall, gifted photographer you can possibly book for your wedding."

Tara & James

"One of my favorite things about her work is that our photos include the typical family portraits, perfectly executed documentary shots to catch all those candids, and artistic shots where she flexed her creative muscle. Taken together, each of our photos is a gem in its own right and going through our library of photos felt like digging into an onion - so many layers and new gems to find."

"The more and more we get away from the day, the more we rely on our photos to remind us how the day felt."
