the experience
from booking to final delivery, and everything in between
More than just beautiful photos, you deserve an unforgettable experience…
You only get this day once, and I want you to enjoy every second. I want you to laugh, and cry and feel all your emotions with every bit of your heart, but that is only possible if you trust me, know that I have your back, and that you don’t need to think about a thing. That trust starts from our first conversation and continues throughout the planning process. By the time your wedding day arrives, no question will be left unanswered, no element unaccounted for, so you can let go and enjoy.
My organic approach and gentle guidance allows you to be fully present, and to enjoy your day with your favorite people, confident each step is being intentionally preserved. Rather than directing every interaction or interrupting the flow of the day, my focus is on documenting real moments, genuine emotion and meaningful interactions, all adding up to gorgeous images that are authentically you.
The process
-
Reach out! Let me know your date and vision and I will send you my info guide with everything you didn’t know you needed to ask.
-
Let’s chat! This part of the process is so important to finding out if we will be a good fit. I want to learn about you and your vision. I want to know what you value and where your priorities lie. I also want you to trust me and feel confident in your decision to have me by your side. I will go over my process a bit and give you an idea of what to expect from me as your photographer. This is such a personal day, it is important that you are comfortable with every person you ask to be a part of it.
-
Let’s make it official! Once I am officially your wedding photographer, then the real fun starts. You will receive a little welcome package from me, including a detailed guide on planning for your wedding photography. We can also start talking about and planning your engagement session. I can help with timing, location, outfits, ideas, anything you need I am always happy to help.
-
Time to prep. Leading up to the wedding you will receive a questionnaire from me (about 8 weeks before the wedding) that will go over each detail, from timeline to family photos, and how to best go about documenting your day seamlessly. Each of these topics are covered in your planning guide, so most of my couples find filling out the questionnaire to be quick and easy. We will also plan a meeting so we can go over it all and I can answer any final questions you might have. By the time this is completed, you will feel so prepared and ready for the big day.
-
Let’s get you married! Once the wedding day arrives your only job is to be present and ENJOY! This is a once in a lifetime experience, so relax and take it all in. I will be there documenting it all every step of the way.
-
Relive your day over and over. The photos are in and you have all of these special memories captured forever. Print them, hang them on your walls, share them with family and friends. My hope is you will revisit this day in times of celebration, and in times of challenge. That you will share them with future generations and let them experience your day through your photographs.
WHAT YOU’RE INVESTING IN:
PEACE OF MIND: Because I will work with you every step of the way, we will naturally build a trust that allows you let go and enjoy your day. This will ensure that not only do you have gorgeous photos, but an unforgettable experience to go with them.
THOUGHTFUL & INTENTIONAL GUIDANCE: Never stiff, always authentic. My focus and priority is making sure you feel comfortable and natural as we create some once in a lifetime portraits. Just you and your love, being yourselves while I guide you along the way.
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE: You don’t need to know a thing about wedding photography. Not posing, not timing, not how to make it all come together. I will take care of everything, and your only job is to enjoy and be present.
“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Katie and her photography. I hired her to photograph my wedding, and she was an absolute dream! My husband and I are both camera shy but I didn’t want this to ruin our pictures. I told her right away I wanted her to give us as much direction as needed to get great photos out of us. Not only is this exactly what she did, but she was hyping us up the entire time. It felt so special! She kept us on track throughout the day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was exactly what we needed. Our photos are PERFECT. She captured every single detail of our day with so much care and intention. Katie is incredible. Book her!”

EVERY WEDDING IS UNIQUE
YOU’RE PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE SHOULD BE TOO
Every wedding is different, so all of my wedding packages are too. After talking with you and finding out what you value most, I will put together a custom package that will fit your needs perfectly. Not sure how much coverage you need? That is totally normal, and additional coverage can be added at any point in the planning process (even the day of the wedding). My goal isn’t to box you into the highest package I can, but to give you exactly what you want and need from your photography.
