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.

Think of me like your photo fairy godsister— specializing in transforming even the most “meh” moment into a work of photographic art that is both artistic and organic.

NOT TO BRAG, BUT…

I’ve made a crowded getting-ready shot at a Holiday Inn with 2 feet of space between the bed and the window look like a Caravaggio-esque portrait.

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.

SF City Hall Couples Photography

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Katherine for our couples photoshoot at San Francisco City Hall, and we couldn't be happier with the experience and results.

From the very start, Katherine was prompt and professional, arriving on time and ready to capture our special moments. Her attention to detail and dedication to getting our poses just right truly made a difference. She made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot, ensuring that every shot was perfect.

In just a two-hour session, Katherine delivered over 180 beautifully edited high-resolution photos that we will cherish forever. Her eye for composition and lighting is exceptional, and each photo captures the essence of our relationship in a stunning way.

We highly recommend Katherine for anyone looking for a couples photoshoot, especially at SF City Hall. Her talent and professionalism make her an excellent choice for engagement or wedding photography. Thank you, Katherine, for creating such wonderful memories for us!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Katherine. Taking photos can be intimidating and overwhelming, but Katherine made our engagement photoshoot so much fun. She truly made it a day in our wedding journey that we will look back and cherish forever. Katherine has a gift for making people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Not only does she make you FEEL great while you are taking photos, but her photography skills are truly unmatched. Our photos came out better than I could have imagined and we have received so many compliments from friends and family.

Photography talent aside, Katherine is very professional, thorough with all of her communications, and so passionate with shines through her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
