let’s create magic

To prioritize connection and intention, and curate the best possible experience for my couples, I only take 12 weddings per year. My wedding packages start at $9897 and engagements and portrait sessions start at $1897. 500-1200 final edited images for weddings and an online downloadable gallery.

I shoot a mix of 35mm film and digital photos with custom add-ons. Since each wedding is unique, please fill out my contact form and we can set up a call to determine if we are the right fit and create your custom proposal. I would love to bring your vision to life!

Booking Process:

  1. Fill out form. I will respond back to your email within 24 hours.

  2. We’ll hop on a 15-min phone call to see if we’re a good fit.

  3. Signed contract and 50% retainer and we’re booked!

    Best money we spent for our wedding! Photography was one of the top priorities for our wedding and Kat blew it out of the park.

  • RAW (unedited) photos won't be delivered to you - you are hiring me for my editing style and trust that I will send you all the right images

  • I'm a pro-traveler for the last 13 years. I always have my hard drives backed up, passport updated and an expert in destination weddings. When you're in a place that you don’t know where you're at, I'm one familiar face that you can rely on.

  • Yes! The only photos that aren't delivered are the mid-blinking, blurry or unflattering photos I know you won't want to have. Sometimes I deliver over a thousand images. It just depends on how long we're hired and how much happens on your wedding day.

  • Yes! During our engagement session, we'll meet in person. 

  • Being a destination wedding photographer, 75% of my weddings I photograph each year are new venues I’ve never photographed before. The reason you don't have to worry about me photographing at your wedding venue for the first time is because we are extremely educated in finding the BEST light to make you all look good in any and every location.

  • Yes. For weddings with over 150 guests, or want film photography as a priority, I highly recommend it!

    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.

  • Yes I do. I am happy to send it over to your venue for proof as well.

  • After 300 weddings, nothing has happened to me yet. However I have a plan if something does happen to me. If something happens to me before the wedding, a trained associate will step in. If something happens to me after the wedding before your gallery is delivered, a trusted partner will access your wedding photos and and edit them in my style.

  • After your wedding, all of the photos will go through my backup system to prevent against any file loss. Multiple memory cards, physical hard drives, and digitally on the cloud. Your raw photos are saved for 6 months and you have access to the gallery for 18 months.
