Creating holy sh*t is that us?! moments since 2016

With more than 500 weddings and a decade of experience under my belt, I not only know how to capture photos that truly evoke the full spectrum of your wedding weekend emotions, and I also know there's magic to be made in any weather, situation, or mishap. 

Last minute rain? Here’s an umbrella, and this is how to look great standing underneath it. Unseasonably sunny? No sweat, I’ve got tissues on hand. 

Through meticulous planning, research, listening, absorbing, and learning, I have the full day agenda (and more) ready to G-O before your day. And a plan B and C, just in case.

On the day, I’ve got your best angles, lighting and locations covered. Me, your parents and your besties are on a first name basis (rather than just “Mom” or “girl in the pink dress”).

The best thing about being a seasoned wedding photographer
(aside from lots of cake) … is the magic of transforming the ordinary into extraordinary in any situation.

Think of them like those photos of your parents from the 1970's that you find in a shoebox...all of the retro feels while feeling just like yourselves. It's great to do a practice run before the wedding too!

Engagement Sessions

Let's be real, we won't be handing down our old iPhones to our kids. Your memories deserve to live off the screen and in your hands. Variety of prints and albums available.

Albums & Prints

Bring those timeless retro vibes to your final gallery! I'll bring along my Contax G2 to the wedding plus 10 rolls of film in color and B&W. You won't be able to tell if you got married in 2024 or 1984.

what else we can do together

Say goodbye to stiff, awkward poses and hello to genuine laughter and spontaneous piggyback rides. This is about the real fun, the silly moments, and the genuine emotions that make your relationship unique. It's not just a shoot; it’s a celebration of your love story, quirks and all.

Elopements

 Wedding and Elopement Photography isn't just about capturing moments; it's about snagging every laugh, tear, and dance-off that makes your day yours. Think less posing, more living – because your best moments can't be staged.

— elaine & damir, married in 2021

Katherine and her team truly captured every moment with our guests, the groomsmen, and our family throughout all of the events happening simultaneously at our wedding. Our wedding took place on a massive 100+ acre property in the Catskills, and Katherine and her team made sure all things happening simultaneously on the property were captured.

"We are trying to relive every moment, and the photos she captured truly evoke the full spectrum of our wedding weekend emotions."

— nicole & scott, married in 2018

From the get-go, this company is different -- badass, no cheesiness allowed, personalized, professional. Rather than forcing you to fit into some awkward, posed, same-old wedding mold, Wilde Scout somehow made us feel like Vogue models and yet utterly ourselves, while also meeting our family's expectations on what wedding photos should look like.

“It's hard to put into words just how much hiring Katherine made our wedding photography dreams come true."
