When you work with me, you’re not just booking someone to take photos of you or a feisty Latina that keeps it real with you – you’re getting direct access to my approach that I’ve refined from shooting 100+ weddings over the course of seven years from luxurious weddings to intimate elopements on a mountainside.

Because my process is built on trust, I want to show you why and how I'm able to obtain beautiful wedding moments.
Chances are you've had an uncomfortable photography experience before. Some photographers want to pose every moment and control everything to where you will miss out on the real moments (and you’ll be pretty exhausted).

Luxury, But Not Stuffy
I know when to step on the gas and when to let moments unfold. I believe there's a balance to it.
On a wedding day, my skill is knowing when to step in and direct to tell you what to do. During family formals, I'm not afraid to call out Aunt Becky that was busy getting drunk at the bar.
During our portrait session, I have specific exercises that draw the best out of you so that you don’t have to worry if you’re gonna feel weird, look weird or worry that you’re not being yourself. You will be able to let go and enjoy the moment with the love of your life.

I bring a vision, creativity and I focus on getting you outside of your comfort zone so that you can live in the moment.
The other part of my style and the reason why couples love to work with me is because I know when to let your authentic moments unfold.

If you’re the kind of person that resists stepping out of your comfort zone or wants to control every little detail, we might not be the best fit. If you’re just price-shopping for a vendor, we might not be a good fit.
However if you’re the kind of person who values creativity, can trust me, then I know we’d be a great fit to work together!
Love is Love
We support all kinds of love and couples. Diversity, inclusion + kindness is important to our values when it comes to our business. We are allies of the LGBTQ+ community and we proudly shoot all people regardless of size, shape, color, gender or sexuality.
If we haven't shot at your venue before, we arrive 30 min before shooting your wedding to find the best locations for family formals, first looks (if any), bridal portraits, and bridal party portraits.
Once you book an associate, Kat will connect your associate in the emails so you all can get connected!
Cinematography packages are only available when booking a photography package. If you're unsure about adding cinematography now, you can book it up to 5 months prior to your wedding date.
A second photographer adds another perspective to the wedding and can ease the stress when there is a situation that requires me to be in two places at once. For example:
Getting ready (I cannot be at two places at once!): If the groomsmen are getting ready the same time the bridesmaids are, it's helpful to have a second photographer capture moments of them as well.
Ceremony: During the ceremony, the second photographer helps me capture the families reactions, the groom’s angle during the vows, and the sweet candid moments that happen so quickly while I focus on you both. The second photographer also helps capture cocktail hour as well while I capture family formals.
Candid moments: During family formals and bridal party portraits, there will endless moments happening between the families, guests and the second shooter's job is to capture the moments happening that I won't be able to catch.
I would recommend this if you want to get another perspective. If you are having a wedding less than 150 people for your wedding day, I would only recommend 1 photographer.
After booking, if you booked an engagement session, we'll meet there. If not we'll have another Facetime meeting together before your wedding day.
