About
I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer and native New Yorker based in San Francisco, California. I shoot regularly on both coasts and around the country.
With over a decade of experience and publications in The Knot, Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones.
I always deliver wedding photos that render a first reaction of “holy sh!t, is that us?!” …and then a little happy dance shimmy 🕺🪩 because, yeah, THAT’S YOU. And you look cool as hell, so in love, and completely present in the moment with your partner — exactly how you’ve always dreamed your wedding photos would look.

I’ve convinced DJs to keep the dance floor going with my weirdly convincing “songs that always gets a wedding floor going” playlist (spoiler: Mr. Brightside. Every. Single. Time.).
I’ve mastered the idiosyncrasies of lighting — thanks to a little too much acid in my twenties, oops? — which has allowed me to expertly capture sweet candids and romantic moments, even in dark candlelight or harsh direct sun..
& most importantly, I make your photos look and feel exactly how they did in the space, if not better, by capturing YOUR uniqueness and magic with a timeless
& most importantly, I make your photos look and feel exactly how they did in the space, if not better, by capturing YOUR uniqueness and magic with a timeless editing style and true-to-life color, rather than putting my own fingerprint on it or slapping on a trendy edit.
