About

Hi there everybody,

My name is Katana (it rhymes with banana) I have been in love with photography since I was 15. Shooting a wedding is an amazing, fun, emotional, exhilarating job, and I adore it and give 100% of myself to the couple on their day.

My style can meld to whatever you feel is most important, but generally the pie is divided with the largest part being photojournalistic, part fine art, and part portraiture. I always tell the story of the day, from beginning to end. A wedding day is so much more than a ceremony, family portraits and a party. There are preparations, details, communications, excitement, hard work, just about every emotion in the book, and so so much more.

I live in Portland, OR and have a small office in my home. No big studio here, just some honest beautiful photography of one of the most important days of your life. Shoot me an email if you are interested in sharing your day with me.

Cheers!

Katana

We used Katana Triplett and Dan Jasperson for the photography and videography for our summer wedding. Myself, my husband and our families could not have been happier!

They were incredibly easy to work with. Flexible and willing to design a package for your needs, none of the strict rules and packages of big companies. Definately a bargain for what you get.

On the day of, Dan and Katana blended seamlessly into our wedding party and event. Looking back I have pictures and footage, that I never knew they were there. They also captured alot of moments that we didn't see!

The photos are amazing. Elegant, natural, artistic and not forced. Katana has an amazing vintage yet modern style. I could not have been happier the the pictures Katana captured. She will be honest and straightforward with you on what and where will produce the best pictures, and flexible to work with you on creating your vision. I have had many people as for her name after seeing our photos. We also got the photos in a very timely manner and Katana was easy to work with on getting some small edits to some photos (the grooms family could not keep their eyes open at the same time...quick head exchange and we were great!)

Dan has an amazing knack for shooting video to make you feel all the emotions and feel like you were there all over again. He goes above and beyond to get "the shot." We had a teaser 3 minute vidoe very soon after our wedding and the full vidoe in a very timely manner. I was initially not going to a video for our wedding, but now I 100% would do it again, no questions asked. So many moments that I didn't see were captured, and so many moments that I didn't remember.

In summary, I whole heartedly recommend Dan and Katana if you want amazing wedding photos and video that you will treasure forever.

We met Katana and I knew right then that chosing her as our photographer was the right choice, and I was not let down! She works out of her home and does all her own work, and her photos turned out better than any of the big buisiness photography companies that I had looked at. Her photos were amazing and since she does not only weddings but other types of photography as well, she has a great eye for capturing moments and details that I really appreciated. She made me feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera, and was really a fun person to work with. I recieved tons of compliments on how beatuiful our photos were. On top of that, we had her partner in crime, Dan Jesperson, do our wedding videography. We were not planning on doing a video before we met him, but were soooo happy we did It was totally worth every penny! We have watched it multiple times with family and friends and it gives a great feel for the wedding that compliments our photos. I would hightly recommend Katana (and Dan!) without any reservations!

I have nothing but compliments for Katana and her photography skills. She knew our personalities and took pictures that were EXACTLY our style! She has a knack for noticing the little details and capturing them in the perfect light. Posed pictures were smooth and painless(this thrilled my husband). She also took the time to pull us away from the group, before the reception kicked off, for a walk. We had a chance to talk about the ceremony and be semi alone while Katana snapped pictures of us just being us. These pictures are dearest to my heart. When I look at them I am instantly taken back to the day's emotions.
Her no stress attitude set the tone early in the day. Her relaxed yet professional approach followed through to receiving the proofs quickly and she has a wonderful system set up for ordering that even my not so computer friendly mother could navigate.
If we renew our vows in fifty years-Katana's got the job. She was born to take pictures.

katana did such an amazing job! We are so happy we chose her as our wedding photographer. She was there from start to finish and our pictures turned out beautiful. Im happy that the details and moments of our special day were captured so that we can look back and remember them, and also share them with those who were not there.

WOW, this is what I think of when I see the beautifully expressive photographs from Katana. had the pleasure of meeting her when delivering flowers for a wedding in Portland. Since we were both early she was kind enough to take extra photos of the floral pieces I created. After visiting with her I learned more about her style and personality. I do know that it's very important you choose a personable and fun photographer to shoot your wedding, remember they will be following you around for hours! Thanks again for the photos, I smile evertime I see them, incredible!
