Meet Kate
owner & photographer
I'm on a lifelong mission to do the best and hardest thing: be vulnerable.
I've found being vulnerable provides the foundation for just about everything good in life. It keeps people humble. It invites people in. It opens us all up to creativity and discovering happiness. That's why I've made it a tenant of my work. When we are vulnerable, we make room for each other to be the best versions of themselves.

Approach
I'm lucky to have witnessed and documented well over 100 weddings since the start of my wedding photography journey. Anticipation, intuition and the connection I've established with my couple help me carefully navigate each unique wedding day. Showing up and sharing my abundance of sentiment with those I'm lucky to work with allows me to create meaningful art.
Timeless
I want to bring you back to that day.
Where meaningful moments are slowed down and reawaken your senses, leaving you encapsulted in fond memories of family, laughter, love and friendship. This is how your collection of images will age gracefully and stand the test of time.
Honest
My reportage style approach combined with an artistic edge gives way to a collection of honest work. To me, wedding photography is multidirectional, and images bursting with truth and meaning are born when there's vulnerability, connection and trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE your STYLE?
Relaxed and candid with a mix of portraiture. As for my editing, there is a film-like quality that helps give a timeless feel.
why choose kate?
Couples are drawn to my helpful yet laid-back approach on a wedding day, and how I'm constantly seeking out unstaged moments. I collaborate with my couples during the planning stage so when the wedding day hits there's enough structure to get everything accomplished and plenty of time to be fully immersed in what's happening. I'm all about having balance.
why did you choose to focus on weddings?
I'm a feeler and observer, and I've found both of these fit into a wedding day perfectly. I'm driven to document the raw beauty in people's milestones and connections with one another. So hug your loved ones tight, allow yourself to be present and soak up the day with the person you've chosen to accompany you on this journey.
do you take formal photos where people are looking at the camera?
You bet! Whether it's bridal party, immediate family, or couples portraits, this is where my portraiture style comes into the mix.
All of my couples are provided planning documents, and one of the sections requests a list of family groupings for portraits. This list is built ahead of time making it a breeze on the wedding day.
How many photos will we receive?
This can vary due to hours of coverage, number of family portraits, reception details, etc. I average 50-70 photos per hour. The only photos I end up not delivering are duplicates, test shots, or anything unflattering.
Do you have an ideal Client or style of wedding?
First of all, I think it's important to say I'm committed to offering a safe place for all, and I welcome anyone who wants to share their love story with me.
Having said that, I like when couples get creative and think outside of the box in terms of how they structure their wedding. This can be anything from having a camp-style weekend wedding to not having a bridal party in order to spend more time with guests.
what type of weddings do you document?
I document everything from large weddings to small, intimate weddings and elopements. One of the reasons I love weddings is the variety I'm able to experience.
will you be the one photographing us?
Definitely. I will be the one working with you throughout the entire planning process and be the one showing up at your event.
Do you have backup equipment?
Always! Whether it's cameras, lenses, memory cards, or lighting equipment, I'm always prepared and have extra equipment on hand. If you have more questions about my backup process please ask.
what packages do you offer?
I offer a variety of collections depending on your needs, how you want to remember your day, and how you want it documented.
Full-day coverage starts at $3,800.
When you reach out, I recommend providing as much detail as possible. The more I know the better I can assist and offer recommendations.
HOW SOON SHOULD WE BOOK?
It varies, but most wedding couples book 8-14 months in advance. I recommend booking as soon as you have a date set and a venue locked in.
HOW DO WE RESERVE YOU FOR OUR DATE?
Once I know what wedding collection you'd like to go with, I'll send over a contract for you to complete and details about paying the 50% retainer.
