Candid. Intentional. Timeless.

Photography for those that want to remember how the day felt

Sacramento Wedding Photographer

Katherine Nicole Photography is a wedding photography studio serving the Northern California area of Sacramento, Bay Area, and Tahoe since 2011.


More than just beautiful photos, you deserve the gift of being fully present

One of the most important decisions of your life is who you choose to spend it with, and your wedding day should be experienced fully, with your entire heart and soul. Mindfully present for every precious moment. That is the experience I want to give you… the gift of knowing you can let go and enjoy your day, while I anticipate and document your most precious moments with gentle guidance and a calming presence.


Blending genuine storytelling and breathtaking portraiture to document your day in a way that is authentically you

Photography is our greatest connection to our memories, and can be felt in the very fiber of our beings. A single image can bring back all the love, anticipation, excitement, and joy being felt in that moment. The look of pride on your grandmothers face, the tear on your Dad’s cheek, your new spouse’s hand in yours. These moments are what you get to keep when the day is done. A collection of moments that were gone too fast, but that you can always revisit. Photography isn’t just about checking a box, it is about preserving the memories that make life worth living. Those are the photos you deserve, and it is my honor to capture them for you.

Meet Katie

My name is Katie (she/her) and after photographing hundreds of weddings all over Northern California, there is one thing I know for sure… I adore my job. Being invited to share in the most important moments of peoples lives is a gift I hold close to my heart and something I will never stop being grateful for. Photography is personal, and you deserve someone who is just as excited as you are to capture these moments for you. If you are looking for someone to stand by your side, walk you through the process every step of the way, and cheer you and your love on, then I am your girl. I can’t wait to capture your story.

When I am not photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives, you can find me with my family. I am lucky enough to be married to the best guy I know, and Mom to the coolest kid I’ve ever met. We love a good movie night on the couch or adventure out in nature. Our sweet dog, Poppy, also loves to join in on the fun and rounds out our little crew.

“My husband and I are both a bit shy and awkward in front of the camera, but Katie effortlessly talked us through each pose as she clicked her camera. Although I generally do not enjoy taking a ton of photos, the sessions never felt like work, but hanging out with a (very professional) friend who happened to be taking our photos. WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS. Katie is MAGIC. After receiving photos from every session, we couldn’t believe how good she made us and everything around us look.

“We talked to other photographers and I chose Katie because a) I knew I'd want her warm energy around me; and b) she takes amazing natural photos, is great with lighting, and edits every photo herself. She's to this day my favorite vendor/ARTIST that I worked with during my wedding because I just didn't have to worry with her and trusted her to deliver. I'm so excited to keep working with her as our family continues to grow and we want to document more happy moments.”
