From our very first email, to our goodbye hug on your wedding day it is my goal to provide the most exceptional experience possible. Throughout the process I aim to provide helpful guidance, genuine connection, and of course, a stunning collection of photographs that truly capture the essence of who you are as a couple. In choosing me as your photographer, you will not only gain my expertise in documenting your day as beautifully as you've always imagined it, but you will also gain a friend.
As your friend and photographer, I will gently guide you through the planning process, your engagement session, and your wedding day with a smile and a genuine heart. My goal is for you to enjoy every step of the experience and to fall in love with your wedding day all over again as you look through your wedding album. 

The Experience

"My husband and I were fortunate enough to work with Katlyn for our engagement photos and wedding photos. The photographs truly captured the joy of being newly engaged and the joy of our wedding day! We were so impressed with all of the photos and how well she worked with all of our vendors. She was very helpful throughout the process leading up to and the wedding day!!"

"If we could give more stars, we would. We hired Katlyn as our wedding photographer in 2019 & she went above and beyond anything we could’ve ever even imagined. From her communication, to her friendship, to her actual work and timeliness - she WOW’d us. Her eye for magic behind the camera is unlike any other, and the work she creates and created are now memories of a lifetime. Would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, or wedding photographer- in fact several of our friends have used her since and she’s proven her work time and time again. Book her!!"

With a love of classic style and a heart for genuine connection, I capture each wedding with passion and artistry. I always aim to craft emotive, timeless, and romantic images that can be passed down through the generations. I direct each wedding with a joyful heart and a calm demeanor, allowing you to feel comfortable being yourselves and encouraging you to be entireley present in the moment. My approach to documenting your weddding day is a combination of artfully directed posing and storytelling, so that you can look back on your wedding gallery and see your special day unfold beore you.
I've done my job if I capture not only stunning portraits, and all of the thoughtfully curated details of your wedding, but also the way your new husband's eyes light up when he sees you for the first time, the way your grandparents smile when they watch you walk down the aisle, or the belly laughs of the bridal party throughout the day. These are the things that make a wedding gallery truly special and unique to you.

"After seeing what Katlyn can do behind a camera with our engagement photos, we immediately hired her as our wedding photographer. I am so happy we did! Our pictures turned out so well. Swoon worthy. She was super easy to work with, communicative, made us feel comfortable, and was in the right place at the right time all night. I highly recommended Katlyn to anyone seeking a talented, confident, and professional photographer"

Katlyn is an incredible photographer not only because of her talent but also because she is pure JOY. She makes everyone feel at ease in every session or event by radiating positivity and giving confidence to those in front of the lense. She is incredibly creative and innovative in her photography style and emotions always pour out of every photo because of her carefully curated process.

A: Of course, it's important to love the aesthetic and style of any photographer you are considering. Beyond that, I think that making sure you and your photographer have a genuine connection is of the utmost importance. After all, they will be by your side through some of your most special moments! I always begin the booking process with a little phone chat or a coffee date so that we can meet and get to know each other. My connection with my couples is something I cherish, and it also contributes to the final product of beautifully authentic photos.

Q: What is the most important thing to consider when choosing a PHOTOGRAPHER?

A: My answer is a resounding YES! I absolutely love to travel, and whether it be a large destination wedding or an intimate elopement, I would love to travel near and far to capture your special day in a beautiful location. In fact, very few of the weddings I capture occur near my hometown! Custom quotes are created for any couples inquiring about travel or a destination wedding. 

Q: Do you travel for weddings and sessions?

A: Not to worry! It may come as a surprise, but most couples feel a little nervous to be in front of the camera initially. I will guide you through poses, while encouraging you to be entirely yourself and present in the moment. We will get a little goofy, laugh uncontrollably, and before you know you'll forget that the camera is there at all! 

Q: What if we aren't comfortable in front of the camera?

A: Absolutely! All of my wedding collections include a second shooter, and I will often have an assistant with me as well. 

Q: do you have a team on a wedding day?

A: Film is my medium of choice, always. It provides texture, true to life colors, and a timelessness that is unmatched.  I will also use digital throughout a wedding day as it performs better during fast moving, lowlight portions of the day such as the reception. 

Q: Do you shoot film and digital? Why?
