  • "She makes a concerted effort to get to know her couples"

    “Upon first meeting there was an instant connection with Katie, she makes a concerted effort to really get to know her couples in the most beautiful way, and it truly shows in her work. We completely trusted her process and felt so at ease with her despite not actually knowing what we were doing, the result was the most perfect representation of our relationship, it still gives us chills. When it came to photographing our wedding, by that point she was not just our photographer but our friend, yet again she created the most stunning images we had ever seen. Katie just has this way of capturing the best moments and bringing them to life for years to come. We have since recommended her to friends for their engagements and weddings, and it’s the best feeling knowing that the people you love get to experience what Katie does for her couples. We love you forever Katie!”

  • " It is her passion and what she is meant to do"

    “There are not enough nice things to say about Katie and how fantastic she is not only as a wedding photographer but as a person. From the first meeting, she was prompt in responding, patient, understanding and accommodating. Photography is not just a job for Katie, it is her passion and what she is meant to do. She captures so much love in her photos, you truly can feel it through the frames. On our wedding day she was the perfect mix of discreet and low key, but engaging and fun to be around and added to our enjoyment of the day, particularly during our family and couples shots. Katie absolutely captured the story of our wedding day perfectly and the pictures will be treasured for years to come.”

  • "Katie is a gem of a person, lethal behind the camera, and is amazing to work with"

    Katie is a gem of a person, lethal behind the camera, and is amazing to work with! She was able to capture my vision for my elopement shoot exactly the way I dreamt of! On top of that, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera with her bubbly warm personality and she gave us the creative direction we so needed. Not only is she extremely skilled in what she does, her professionalism exceeds expectations! Great communication from beginning to end, and she delivered the full gallery to us so quickly. If you are in the search for a photographer, I highly recommend her!! We love you Katie!!

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I have been shooting weddings for over 16 years now!

  • I do! If your venue requires insurance, just let me know and I will be sure to send it over to them.

  • Of course! I will go wherever you want me! Travel expenses include mileage fees if driving outside of LA, flight fares, and accommodations/lodging during my stay for your wedding weekend.

  • Second shooters allow for another perspective for capturing your memories, as well as coverage in two places at once. I am very comfortable shooting solo and do it most of the time, however, I recommend a second photographer if photos are needed in two places at once (different getting ready spots) or where the guest count is over 150 to more efficiently capture your guests!

  • I make sure to send you whatever amount of images it takes to tell the full story of your wedding day. I don’t have a specific number, because each wedding varies on hours and activities. The average delivery is 75-100 per hour of coverage.

  • If you need my help with vendor recs or timeline drafting, I am here to help you with whatever you need!

  • My turnaround for a couples session is typically 3-4 weeks, and my wedding turnaround is 6-10 weeks during my busy season! If it’s a slower time of year (winter / early spring), your photos may be delivered prior to this timeline.

  • I require a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit to lock off your date.
