About

I was born and raised on the island of Nantucket, and for as long as I can remember I’ve been immersed in and inspired by the natural beauty of my home. I always had a camera in my hand when I was younger, chasing sunsets at the beach, at the horse farm where we spent most of our days and documenting my adventures with my friends in scrapbooks too numerous to count. I currently live on Nantucket with my husband Evan Schwanfelder, our kids Millie and Archie and our adorable rescue pup Ziggy.

I spent many years abroad after college and then moved back to this lovely island. Living in such a scenic place and traveling the world to see other amazing sights has helped shape my perspective on photography. There’s incredible scenery everywhere, but it’s the special moments captured in those places that create lasting memories.

In 2009 I enrolled in the New England School of Photography for their two-year professional program and I studied photojournalism, wedding and portrait photography. After graduating I started my business on Nantucket. My photography style is natural and journalistic; my goal is to document the moments and experiences you’ll cherish forever. At your wedding I work within your day, meaning the flow of events is never interrupted and will never feel too directed.

I am committed to capturing the human experience from the smallest elopement to the biggest wedding celebration, from every day life to the family vacation celebrating 60 years of marriage for the grandparents. The best part of my job is that each wedding, portrait session or engagement is a new artistic endeavor with a story to be told. I’d love to talk more over the phone or meet you in person! I believe in getting to know my clients and value our client relationships whole heartedly. I’d love to tell you more about what we do and look forward to hearing from you!

Truly Magical!!!

If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your personal story, your heart lay wide open, the very essence of what makes your love story unique, Katie is your only choice.

From our very first conversation she was 100% invested in knowing us as a couple and what we were hoping to capture with our photographs. Having never traveled to Nantucket before, she took the time to understand what things we were excited to see and what we were passionate about in life, to be able to incorporate them into our anniversary photos. Katie went above and beyond with her suggestions of the different locations we could visit during our shoot, and what we should see while in Nantucket, even if we didn’t want to utilize the site for our pictures. She took the time to look at our outfits to be sure the colors would work well with the lighting. She made us feel so comfortable with getting to know her, that we were not one bit uncomfortable when taking our photos. The night was just good friends having some fun and adventure together. Also, being 3rd generation Nantucket, Katie knows the island and its weather like the back of her hand. She was able to pinpoint which day of our visit would be the best day and time for our photos with 100% accuracy.

If you are lucky enough to work with Katie, her involvement with you is not only about the end result (which by the way will be BEYOND your dreams MAGNIFICENT), it’s about sharing each step of the process with you with 100% clarity and true caring. Her professionalism, her artistry and her genuine heart make her the photographer you want capturing your most magical moments. We will be forever grateful for Katie and the great privilege of being on the other side of her lens. We asked her to capture our simple 35 year love story with fun, timeless, romantic pictures and she gave us so much more, she gave us magic in a bottle. Our pictures, and our time with Katie, will forever be one of my most cherished heart treasures.

A Photographer Who Captures More Than Moments—Katie's Magic

We are beyond thrilled with our experience working with Katie, our incredible wedding photographer, who went above and beyond to make our day truly unforgettable. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear that she was more than just a photographer—she was someone who genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our relationship and the story we wanted to tell. Katie took the time to get to know us and truly understood our vision for our wedding day in Nantucket, MA on June 15, 2024.

Leading up to the wedding, Katie was incredibly thoughtful and communicative, guiding us through every step of the process. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness made us feel completely at ease. She made sure to check in with us to understand exactly what we wanted, while also offering her expert advice and creative ideas. Her calm, reassuring presence gave us so much confidence as we prepared for our big day.

On the wedding day itself, Katie was a true professional—always present but never intrusive. She brought such a sense of calm to everything, which helped us to relax and truly enjoy the moments as they unfolded. She was incredibly patient and compassionate, making sure we felt comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. Her genuine warmth made her feel like part of our family, and we were so grateful to have her there to document our celebration.

And of course, the photos themselves are absolutely stunning. Katie’s talent shines through in every single shot—each image captures not only the beauty of the day but also the love, laughter, and emotions that filled the air. We were blown away by how she was able to encapsulate the magic of Nantucket, the joy of our friends and family, and the unique moments that made our wedding so special.

We cannot thank Katie enough for her incredible work and for being such an amazing part of our wedding journey. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely kind, patient, and thoughtful, Katie is the one to trust. Her talent and dedication made our wedding day unforgettable, and we will treasure the beautiful photos she captured for the rest of our lives.
