Wether you choose my to document these moments or not, i encourage you to not take any single moment for granted! Your wedding day will pass in a blink of an eye and your life with your partner and your family will change so many times throughout the years that it's easy to forget the chubbiness of your kids cheeks, how little they used to be and even how small their hands are in yours.

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! ❤️ If you are still hesitating, trust me and all other reviewers, she worths it!

Helen & Jason

New Mr & Mrs
Such an incredible experience! Kate is so much fun, light, friendly, and makes you feel so comfortable. 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!

Proof that sunset + ocean + birthday girl energy = Proof that sunset + ocean + birthday girl energy = unstoppable combo.

So excited to see where this next year takes you. Cheering you on through every big and little moments that come your way this year. 💫

Here’s to all the love, growth, and wild possibilities ahead.
Manny + Aadila What if your “I do” moment fel Manny + Aadila

What if your “I do” moment felt like stepping into a real-life fairy tale?

Forget the grand ballroom and the pressure of a big guest list. Imagine a quiet, sun-drenched park, just the two of you, promising forever, this is exactly what Manny and Aadila chose for themselves.

Their intimate elopement wasn’t about doing less; it was about feeling more— more connection, more magic, and more of what truly matters. It’s a love story written just for them.
You don’t need a reason to be photographed. Not You don’t need a reason to be photographed.
 Not a birthday, not a milestone, not a ‘new chapter.’
 You’re reason enough—right here, right now
Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are the Ever seen a wedding photo and wondered, “Are they just naturally this photogenic?!” 🤩

Here’s a little secret: it’s not magic, it’s a perfect mix of authentic moments and intentional posing!

While I absolutely live for those unscripted, belly-laughing candids, the truth is, most couples need a little guidance to feel truly comfortable in front of the camera. That’s where posing comes in!

Posing isn’t about stiff, unnatural smiles. It’s about giving you gentle prompts and directions that help you connect with each other and look your absolute best. Think of it as a little secret language we’ll learn together! It helps create those stunning, magazine-worthy portraits while still making you feel like yourselves.

So yes, I’ll capture all the sweet, spontaneous moments, but I’ll also be your personal hype girl, helping you nail those timeless photos you’ll cherish forever.

What kind of photos are you most excited about? Candid or posed? Let me know! 👇
