"When initially searching for a photographer to photograph our day, we were set on finding someone who would document our intimate wedding moments with care. I've dreamed of my wedding since I was a little girl and I've known for years that I'd want to invest in a professional and elevated photography experience to capture the love, emotions, and memories of my day.

Despite reaching out to nearly ten different photographers, I always felt like something was missing. We couldn't seem find someone who went above and beyond to understand and embrace our dreams and visions for our special day, while also possessing the ability to artistically capture moments with professionalism, intentionality, and that filmy, timeless documentation that we wanted.

Everything changed when I inquired with Katie. Even though I had already paid the deposit for another photographer, I immediately realized Katie had to be a part of celebrating this special milestone with us. Katie was kind, caring, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process – from the initial inquiry to planning, day-of, and receiving the sneak peeks and final gallery. I knew she was the one for us and immediately booked her.

During our wedding day, she seemed to know exactly when to step in professionally to direct and when to allow a candid moment to unfold. The result was a beautiful gallery filled with intentional imagery we'll cherish forever; we will never get over the plethora of details, candid moments, and editorial shots she captured!

Katie exceeded all expectations, capturing our special day with an artful and thoughtful touch. Her kindness, intentionality, and attention to detail throughout the process made the entire experience unforgettable. If you're searching for a photographer who will not only look after you but also genuinely dream and celebrate with you, Katie is your go-to. 

You’ll invest in a wedding photographer that will care for you like a life-long friend.”
