LET THE MOMENTS HAPPEN

Patient & Intuitive

After delivering a gallery to my couples, I always smile when I learn which images are their favorites. It’s almost always a moment I captured from just being patient and intuitive. The best moments are the ones that happen naturally. I will be there to provide guidance when you need it, and also hold back from directing a moment when appropriate–so you can fully, experience the day.

The best moments—the ones you’re going to want to remember—are the ones where you are present and soaking in how you got here. I’ll honor those moments without interference, while capturing it for you.

CAPTURING WHAT YOU VALUE

empathy first

Confession: I kinda hate small talk. I’m someone that wants to dive in with people – cut right to the heart. I love capturing weddings because they are a window into documenting the intimacy and delicate intricacies of relationships. With a camera in hand, I can engage in something so meaningful.

Leading up to your wedding, I will take the time to get to know you to better understand what matters to you. Every wedding is different, because everyone is different. By building a more personal relationship, I have space to engage in your wedding day – empathy first. With 11 years of experience as a wedding photographer and more than 250 weddings captured, you can count on me to guide you through the day with comfort and ease. The end result? A gorgeous photo–that you can feel.

The best art is made in collaboration.

Your experience is everything. It’s not just the wedding, it’s the entire season of planning, dreaming and bringing to life a vision with the one you love. The best art is made in collaboration. With your planner taking charge of the logistical and design intricacies, we can dedicate our undivided attention to capturing the essence of your event. I will work with your planner as needed so you can fully immerse yourselves in the joy of your wedding day. And have the photos to prove it.

ON WEDDING DAYS, WE'RE A WIFE-HUSBAND TEAM!

Every full-day wedding collection includes a wedding day assistant to help you have a stress-free photography experience and get the most out of your time with me. My husband is at most of my weddings with me and has been working weddings for 3+ years and it’s been a joy to serve couples like you as a team!

His role includes:

Helping with gear so that I can keep photographing candids throughout the day
Making family formals a breeze
Keeping the portrait photography timeline moving
Providing a second photojournalistic perspective for the ceremony, toast, and special dances
Being a heartfelt officiant for couples eloping

Tony provides a second perspective during your first look, ceremony, speeches, and special dances. During other parts of your day he is an assistant, ensuring you have a stress-free photography experience.

"We had the best experience working with Kate. We had a destination wedding so the wedding planning experience was a bit trickier to normal, however working with Kate was so easy! She produced the most stunning pictures and I have people constantly asking who my photographer was. She is very enjoyable to be around and helped encourage my husband and I to have a fun time while taking our photos (we were a bit nervous)! I, myself, had a few wedding day mishaps. I sprained my ankle the evening before the wedding and could barely walk the day of the wedding. I also came down with a stomach bug on wedding day. So unfortunately I was not feeling my best self, but Kate was great in helping me feel like a beautiful bride. Her photos do no show anything but the happiness and excitement my husband I felt that day!"

Kasey & Matt

Picture this, It’s 2018, I’m the photographer at a wedding where Tony is a guest. We leave the reception at the same time and just so happen to be parked right next to one another. Three days later, we went out for coffee with no clue that we’d end up where we are now — married, living in historic Ellicott City with a kitty named Magritte. Can you believe that!? There’s nothing like finding your person. And once you do, it’s inconceivable that they were ever a complete stranger to you.

From day one, we have been about having a dang-good-time. Our lives are full of weddings, concerts, Harry Potter Movie marathons, tacos, and singing to Magritte.
