Hey!

I’m Kate

MOM, WIFE, AND YOUR WEDDING DAY STORYTELLER
I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids, wife to my best friend, and someone who believes life’s best moments deserve to be captured beautifully. When I’m not adventuring with my family or soaking up cozy, love-filled days at home, I’m behind the camera, documenting stories that matter. My journey to professional photography began over a decade ago with a simple love for capturing moments. Five years ago, I finally took the leap, letting go of fear and sharing my work with the world—and I’ve never looked back. Since then, I’ve poured my heart into this craft, transforming a passion into a career that connects me with incredible couples. From the butterflies of “I do” to the quiet, meaningful glances, I live for the magic of weddings. Capturing your day is so much more than a job—it’s an honour. Let’s create something timeless together!

Remembering your story, one image at a time

Emotional photography for the madly in love!

What sets me apart from

other

photogs...

It wasn’t until I was deep into my business that I realized it’s not just a skill with a camera that makes a great photographer—it’s everything else you pour into the experience. Every booking, every interaction and every detail contributes to how clients feel from start to finish.

While my camera has become second nature to me, I’ve spent years perfecting the entire experience for my clients. From tailored questionnaires and detailed guides to providing the information that eases the stress on your wedding day, every step is designed with you in mind.

I’ve fine-tuned my process to ensure that from the moment we connect until long after your wedding day, everything runs smoothly and you can enjoy the journey.

My goal isn’t just to capture this special time in your life but to make the entire experience unforgettable—because I’m right there with you, making every moment even better

Capturing your story <3

Wedding, couples, family, just because sessions… whatever your season, we will create magic for you. We’ll capture your story and you’ll remember every detail <3

your love

in every

photo!

On the shoot

Here’s what I can promise you with every session:

  1. Your emotions—love, laughter, and everything in between—will shine through in every image.
  2. It will be stress-free! From questionnaires to guides, I provide everything you need to feel supported. I won’t push anything on you but I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way, ensuring we capture everything you’ve envisioned.
  3. You’ll have an absolute blast and never, ever feel uncomfortable in front of my camera.

We’ll laugh, joke, and have fun. You’ll snuggle up with your person(s) and the moments will be so genuinely you that it’ll feel more like an epic night out or the day of your dreams.

Real

Every image in your gallery will capture the real, unfiltered personalities of you, your family and your guests—genuine moments that truly reflect who you are.

Raw

We’ll capture more than just the beautiful details—we’ll freeze the real, raw moments too: the laughter in your friends’ eyes, the tears on your cheeks and that unforgettable first glance of each other on your wedding day. Every single moment holds something incredibly powerful that tells your story, one moment at a time.

True

I’ll always be there to guide you when needed, blend into the background when the moment calls for it and break the tension with a little humour if it gets too heavy. All of this, paired with timeless editing, ensures everything stays true to you.

For the

madly in love

+ forever afters

Golden hour just knows how to show up. Sam brought Golden hour just knows how to show up.
Sam brought her calm energy to this session—and watching her with her little one was such a reminder of how much love lives in the in-between moments.

The way she snuggles her babe, the way she laughs—it’s the kind of stuff you’ll never regret capturing.
Motherhood doesn’t slow down, but you can absolutely hit pause like this.
Not every champagne pop goes to plan… and that’s okay 😅

This groom gave it everything—but when the bottle didn’t spray, he improvised (by throwing it out of the bottle lol and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It was hilarious!

Want the spray and the sparkle on your wedding day? 

Here’s your 3-step champagne pop guide for wedding-day magic:
	1	Chill your bottle beforehand (this builds pressure for a good spray).
	2	Loosen the cage and hold the bottle at a 45° angle, away from faces.
	3	Once the cork pops, quickly place your thumb over the opening and give it a gentle shake—just like a garden hose. Instant celebration!

Whether it’s picture-perfect or pure chaos, these are the moments you’ll be laughing about for years.
There’s something so timeless about a woman in h There’s something so timeless about a woman in her wedding gown—before the music plays, before the guests arrive, before the day officially begins.

It’s that quiet space where emotions stir, anticipation builds, and the beauty of this chapter really sinks in.

This bridal session was all of that and more—soft light, still air, and the reminder that being fully present in your day is what makes it unforgettable.

Don’t rush these moments. Let’s give you the space to take it all in, and remember how it felt.

Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gest Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gesture to mean something big.

Here are 3 timeless ways to celebrate your story:

💌 Revisit your vows – Read them out loud. Remind each other of the promises made and how you’ve grown into them.

📸 Book a session, just the two of you – Capture who you are now—not just who you were on your wedding day. Every chapter deserves to be seen.

🥂 Do something that feels like you – Whether it’s coffee in your backyard, a hike to your favorite lookout, or dinner at the spot you first met… choose simplicity and intention over pressure and performance.

Marriage isn’t about one day—it’s about the days after.
So celebrate how far you’ve come, and the love that continues to grow.
