Let's freeze this moment in time, together

It’s wedding day for Rachel and Jason today and

It’s wedding day for Rachel and Jason today and I couldn’t be more excited.

Backyard, intimate weddings surrounded by their closest friends and family is such a special thing to experience with them and I’m here for all the emotions that will be surrounding them🤍

One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow.

One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow. Down.
 Not just for the sake of your memories—but so you can be truly present in the moment and we can capture them for you.

✨ Take your time walking down the aisle ✨ Don’t rush that first kiss ✨ Hold your dad a little longer ✨ Swirl your wine an extra second ✨ Look around and let it land

These tiny moments are everything. They fly by in a blink—but when you pause, when you breathe, we’re able to catch:
– The emotion in your eyes – The tear on someone’s cheek – The laughter from just out of frame – The wide shots and the quiet close-ups

We move quickly behind the lens—but sometimes, our couples move even faster.
 So here’s your gentle reminder: slow down and savor.
 You’re not just living the moment—you’re giving us a chance to freeze it, forever.

Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing

Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing.
You’re still in the middle of the day, but these are the photos that will take you right back every time.

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??
