Hello, I'm

katy

Wedding&Lifestyle Photographer

Sometime back in high school I picked up a camera given to me by my older sister and then just never set it down. What started off as photographing my family and friends ended up with traveling to beautiful locations watching couples get married, capturing their everyday stories and calling that my job. In Summer 2023 I decided to dive headfirst into my dream.


During your session I'll inevitably make a strong attempt to make you laugh, as I am beyond corny with jokes and sarcasm.  My husband and I are big nerds when it comes to the gaming and reading realm. You could say we are the classic reading/gaming couple that you see on TikTok. We even have matching King/Queen tattoos! Also, I will always be down for thrifting and iced coffee. In December 2020, Zachary and I welcomed our first child, Jameson Dean - and no not named after the alcohol but yes to Dean Winchester playing a part in it. ;)

My approach

 

Loyalty.

I'm all about it. The focus is on you two and making the day everything you dreamed of and more. You don't like your cousin Caroline? Neither do I. Worried about wedding crashers? I've been known to tell a group off. Don't like the way your flowers turned out? Let's rearrange and fix 'em up! I may be just the photographer - but me as a person still wants the absolute best for the couples no matter the situation.

I will be your best friend and third wheel till the very end of time.
