Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Kate Paterson | Vancouver BC Wedding Photographer

It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! I’m Kate, the girl behind the lens (always tea in hand, never coffee). I’m a photographer based in Abbotsford and traveling all across BC to capture weddings, families, and all the love stories in between.

My heart is in the unposed, unscripted, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of moments. The real laughs. The tight squeezes. The wind-in-your-hair kind of magic that tells your story in a way that actually feels like you.

If you’re planning something special or just love timeless, feel-good photos—stick around. You’re in the right place.

👉🏻 This new dress coming soon to my client closet! Who wants to capture some beauty in it with me??
Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup to Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup touch-ups and dress zips.
They’re the quiet glances, deep breaths, and little moments that mark the shift from “fiancé” to “bride.”

You might wonder—is it really worth capturing these parts of the day?
Here’s my honest take:

PROS:
→ It’s a slow, gentle start to a big day
→ Emotions are fresh and real
→ You’re surrounded by your people—your closest circle
→ The details shine (rings, perfume, florals, heirlooms)

CONS:
→ Honestly? There aren’t many.

If we plan your timeline with intention, this part becomes one of the most meaningful chapters of the day.

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.
