"EASILY the BEST decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process."
-Kailey and Tom
You want beautiful wedding photos to share with your friends and family. You want to feel and look amazing. These are given for your wedding day.
But Let’s talk about legacy.
We live. And then we die. And in between those two moments, we have a million memories – memories with the people you love.
And one of those memories is when you decide to choose to spend the rest of your life with your favorite human.
The love you have for your partner is real.
And I believe your real love deserves more than perfectly posed sunset photos.
You deserve that feeling of trueness and authenticity. Your real love deserves timeless wedding photography.
I’m Katherine.
I’ve been building this biz for over 13 years now.
And though I’ve learned so much about myself, I’ve learned even more about the couples I’ve had the privilege to photograph—what makes them smile. Like, really smile.
What puts them at ease. Who is important to them on their day. What photos will matter the most to my couples after their wedding day.
I've learned how to make photos that will be part of your legacy.
That’s where the magic lies.

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.

"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.
