NATURAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TELL
YOUR TIMELESS STORY
There’s nothing quite like a wedding day full of heartfelt toasts, sentimental details, and love shared with friends + family. You deserve to relive those memories as you experienced them, with rich colors, soft light, and a filmy, nostalgic grain that will look beautiful in albums.
What I focus on most as your photographer isn’t staging moments– it’s allowing them to happen and capturing them in a way that feels effortless and blissful. As a documentary photographer, I am observant and intentional, always keeping an eye to the moment. I have a way of framing the in-between moments in a way that brings you back into that instant. I photograph your day naturally, as it unfolds, with soft guidance only where needed.

NATURAL PHOTOGRAPHY WITH MEANING AND CHARACTER,
FOR COUPLES WHO LOVE THE SENTIMENTAL
No matter what happens on your wedding day, your photos will be imperfectly perfect and reveal the true feelings at the heart of your celebration.
As your photographer, It is always my goal to make you feel as comfortable as possible– even if you are new to having your photo taken. Happiness looks beautiful on everyone– the dimples, the belly laughs, the smile lines are all signs of genuine emotion that could never be forced.
With an editing style inspired by the warmth and nostalgia of 35mm film, you can expect true-to-life colors, soft shadows, creamy highlights, and timeless black + white photos in your wedding gallery.

Kaitlyn And Mike, Stone Mountain, NC
“We did a scenic shoot that required a hike, and I struggled to make it up the mountain, but Katie was so patient and kind. I haven't felt comfortable getting pictures taken in a long time, but Katie made me feel so beautiful and confident in front of the camera. She does a great job at instructing you and making sure you are always comfortable. I have nothing but positive things to say about her, and we are so excited for our wedding photos!”
