The best photos are heartfelt and nostalgic, taking us back to the moment. As a photographer, I continually study how light and shadows frame a memory so moments come naturally and honestly. With a style that merges documentary, storytelling, and thoughtful portraiture, I photograph the joy and emotion of your wedding. You will cherish your wedding day forever through photographs with rich colors, soft light, and a natural elegance. No matter what your wedding looks like– intimate celebration or large gathering, mountain or estate– the possibilities are endless. All that matters is the love and friendship at the heart of your celebration.
RALEIGH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Intentional, nature-inspired photography portraying the moments
close to your heart
Wherever you desire to adventure for your elopement– in North Carolina or a dreamy far-off destination– see how natural landscapes and emotions come together in each gallery.
Journey into the love stories I’ve photographed, find out more about my approach and see the intention + sentiment behind every photograph.
Whether you’re eloping in the mountains, getting married at a picturesque estate, or seeking magic-filled outdoor portraits, I photograph both the stolen glances and softly posed moments.
I have never been so fulfilled as when I get to witness and be part of a couple’s wedding day. There is nothing like a celebration that takes place somewhere meaningful that features sentimental touches telling your love story. As your photographer, I portray your story through the intimate, in-between moments and the gently posed portraits you will cherish for all of time.
Even if you’re new to having your photo taken, I will make every effort to make you feel comfortable through soft guidance and a heart of service. As a documentary-style photographer, I am quick on my feet to compose and preserve the fleeting moments of your wedding. It is an honor to celebrate you, serve you, and get to know you.

"Our session with Katie was above and beyond what I was expecting. She picked the perfect location and gave us great ideas for different poses, beyond helpful for those of us who are less confident in front of the camera. She worked with us in a way that felt natural, casual and brought out our best parts! She captures real emotions, along with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. It was a pleasure working with Katie!"

“When I got engaged, I knew I wanted a wedding photographer who would capture the entire wedding day from start to finish via documentary, fly-on-the-wall style (with a few specific shots). Katie did that and more!!! She is extremely talented, organized, kind, and professional. Katie makes the process so easy and comfortable!!! After our engagement shoot and seeing those amazing shots, I knew I couldn't wait for the wedding. Some of the candid moments she captured are just priceless- I love them. Katie is extremely talented and worth every penny!!!!”
