"We absolutely loved having Katherine capture our favorite day. From the very beginning, she was genuinely excited for us and made us feel completely at ease, which made the entire experience feel so natural and fun. Her eye for those timeless, effortless moments is truly special, and I’m constantly amazed by the way she sees and documents the little details that end up meaning so much. I’m in love with her film work and overall aesthetic—everything she delivered feels warm, intentional, and beautifully us. We’re so grateful she was the one to capture our experience and preserve these memories in such an authentic way."

"..amazed by the way SHE documents the little details that end up meaning so much."

Stefanie & Kyle

"Kat was the absolute best. We received our photos and I could not be happier! She was so great to work with and got all of the photos that I wanted. Every single person who looked at the photos just smiled from ear to ear. She captured everything and absolutely saw my vision for how I wanted my photos. She is absolutely worth every penny and the sweetest human ever!"

"Every single person who looked at the photos just smiled from ear to ear. 

Lizzie & Conor

"After an exhaustive search for a very specific photography style we found Kat and cannot imagine how the day would have gone without her, or how we’d remember it without the incredible photos we received. The photos we got were stunning and really reflect each moment in a special, unique way. The natural emotion of the day really pours through every frame. Choosing someone to document your most important moments is a big decision and we would recommend anyone considering a photographer to choose Kat if you want quality work that you can cherish for a lifetime."

"cannot imagine how the day would have gone without her,"

Randy & Jackie

"Katherine is a fantastic wedding photographer. She truly captured the enchanted love of me and my husband’s relationship and created authentic, old money style, glowing photos. It was everything that I wanted and it is obvious Kathrine is an experienced photographer. Rest assured you will find a kind, professional photographer in Katherine and will end up falling in love with the photos she takes."

"It was everything that I wanted,,"
