About Katie

To tell you a little about me, I have been documenting weddings since 2005, shooting in New England, Southwest, and Arizona, and California. In 2006 my company was the NBC12 Dream Wedding Photographers and 2010 my partner and I were voted as the top 3 wedding photography company by Richmond Magazine readers. We had 8 weddings featured in Richmond Bride. While on the East Coast I photographed just under 200 weddings before deciding to move home to California. For the last 8 years I have taken on limited clients, mostly portrait or commercial work and the occasional wedding, while I started my family and raised my children. I'm passionate about my work and I love LOVE. Feel free to reach out to me with your love story and your wedding details!

Amazing photographer

Katie is a great photographer and a pleasure to work with. She's done several shoots with me over the years and everytime I'm so excited about the result. From modeling jewelry, engagement to maternity shoots, really whatever the occasion, you will end up with beautiful well thought-out photos

Katie has an amazing eye for photography!

I’ve worked with Katie a couple times now and can only say amazing things about our experience.

She has such a gift to capture the moment in her shots especially with our little kids. She’s got such a great personality to work with and is easy to get along with.

She’s very organized and got our pictures back to us lightening fast. I loved her edits, she did a great job cutting unwanted people in the background of our beach shots. I can’t wait to work with her again for Christmas photos this year.

I can’t highly recommend her enough!
