Brilliant, Talented, Genuine, Artist

Photography was always a "high in importance" item when planning my wedding. However, the wedding that happened was not even close to what I had in mind. It was better, thanks to Katie. I don't feel like I found her, I feel like she found me when I, unknowingly, needed her most. Yes, she is very talented, technical, and professional - she checks all the boxes regarding what you may be looking for in a photographer. But she will give you more of what really matters most - Unforgettable, Organic, and Breathtaking, Memories. Katie takes you beyond the beautiful photos she takes. She is Brilliant.

Creativity is everything!

Katie is incredibly talented, thinks on her feet, and is one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever met. She is great with posing and knows how to adapt at a moment’s notice so she always gets the shot. 10/10 would get married again just to hire her again 😍
