"EASILY the BEST decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process."

I work with bold couples — creatives, founders, artists who are building lives that are bigger than tradition, and want the way they are seen to match that bigness.

This ain’t no just “pretty wedding photos.”

This isn’t “timeless and whimsical.” Just yawned. ;)

This isn’t a big shot list with a million poses.

If you want a Type A photographer with a long shot list I’m not your girl.

I’m the in-the-moment wedding photographer that captures the unhinged moments as they unfold, I’m your hype photo girlie.

The girlie that will have you exhaling because you finally found a photographer that gets your wild bold self. Non-traditional AF.

Your Experience Working with Me
Couple getting married outdoors under a floral arch with guests seated on either side, in a scenic mountain landscape.
A woman with dark hair and red lipstick lying on a textured floor, eyes closed, with one arm raised over her forehead and the other resting on her head, wearing a black tank top and sporting a nose ring and tattoos on her arm.

I’m Katherine.

I am not a shot list girlie. I’m your type B girlie (that loves to drink tea in an open mug) living in the moment girlie that makes art through the unfolding of your breath and presence.

That’s where the magic lies.

You’ve found a photographer that captures your unique essence.

    OH MY F*&K!!! Michael and I are absolutely blown away by our photos. We see our true selves in these photos and we couldn't love it more. If we could get married again and again we would have Katherine there each and every time.

    Jasmine + Michael

  • A bride and groom sitting on a vintage sofa with large wine barrels and a floral arrangement in the background.

    "She makes you feel confident and makes you fall in love all over again right there in front of her-which absolutely shows through in our pictures.

    Sarah + Brian

  • A couple sitting on a wooden bench outdoors, embracing each other in front of a large green bush near a body of water, with a cloudy sky above.

    Holy cow!!!! Katherine is a freaking show stopper!! I have people stop me randomly to tell me my wedding and engagement photos are the best pictures they have ever seen!
