About · Mom, wife, and your wedding day storyteller

Hey,
I’m Kate.

I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids and fur baby, wife to my best friend, and someone who believes life’s best moments deserve to be captured naturally. When I’m not adventuring with my family or getting wet on a soccer field, I’m behind the camera, documenting stories that matter.

My story

Remembering your story, one image at a time.

My journey to professional photography began when I captured my first wedding just out of high school and a forever love for capturing moments through life. Eight 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 and knowledge into this craft, transforming a passion into a career that’s connected me with so many amazing people. 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.

“As two people who don’t like having our photos taken, Kate made us feel like there was no camera there at all and we were all just joking around, which made the photos come out looking so natural and exactly what we wanted!”

The experience

The part nobody talks about…

“She even gave me a call a night before my wedding to confirm everything, and the next day when I arrived at the venue, she was already there waiting for me!”

It wasn’t learning the camera that made me a successful wedding photographer, it was the entire client experience that changed everything.

Once you’re booked in you’ll receive a 34-page guide covering things that will help you with planning out your day, a questionnaire built around who you are and your wedding plans with me on the other end of an email anytime you have questions. We talk through everything, including timeline, day of plans and the details that you may not realize will matter.

On the day I always arrive early. My job is not just the photographs but it’s more than that, its the experience and how you’re feeling that matters. We’ll keep things on time to keep you stress-free, and we’ll plan that 10 minute time for the two of you to soak in the moment. I’ll be there with guidance when needed and step into the background when I’m not.

None of that is the photography but all of it matters.

On the shoot

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

  1. Your emotions will shine through

    Love, laughter and everything in between, 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 incredible experience

    And never feel uncomfortable in front of my camera.

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

How I work

Real. Raw. True.

Three words I come back to on every wedding day, every session, and every edit.

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, and messy ones 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.

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.

Every season

For the madly in love + forever afters.

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.

Let’s chat

Let’s freeze this moment in time, together.

Emotional photography for the madly in love. No pressure and no sales pitch. Tell me a little about you and what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll be in touch to see if I’m your person.

The most magical goosebumps looking through our photo gallery! My husband and I were not blessed with being natural photo takers, and were quite nervous. You could tell in the photos that we were genuinely having the best time.
