Before any wedding day, it’s important for me to sit with my couples and review their preferred shots, timeline of the day and everything they are hoping to get from their wedding day portraits. It’s an amazing time to get together, connect and establish a relationship so I can help capture all the best moments from your magical wedding day!!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Hey, I’m Kate 👋 The face behind the lens and Hey, I’m Kate 👋
The face behind the lens and the heart behind every story I get to capture.

I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based in the Fraser Valley — photographing real connections, genuine laughter, and the moments that make your story yours.

What I do has never just been about photos. It’s about freezing time — the quiet in-betweens, the confidence that shines through, the emotions you’ll still feel years down the road. I want your images to remind you how this season of your life felt.

Whether I’m capturing your business brand, your growing family, or the start of your forever — I’m all in. Because your story deserves to be remembered beautifully.

So if we haven’t met yet… hi, I’m Kate — and I can’t wait to create something meaningful together this season 🤍

No cameras, no expectations—just a quiet moment to breathe it all in.

Sarah and David did exactly that. They slipped away from the bustle, stood hand in hand overlooking their ceremony site, and let the day sink in. The view, the calm, the love—it was everything.

Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.
