Nisa & Derek,

It was lovely connecting with you and learning more about your upcoming wedding. Your vision for the big day is so inspiring, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of it! When it comes to your wedding photos, here’s what I wrote notes on as being the most important:

  • You value creating an incredible guest experience and making sure everyone is having a great time.
  • You can’t wait for your ceremony in the stunning gardens of the Evergreen Museum – the architecture and character of the space deserve to be captured far beyond what an iPhone can do.
  • You want the unique beauty of the venue to shine through in your gallery.
  • You’re interested in hybrid coverage (film + digital) and appreciate the one-of-a-kind qualities of film photography.
  • You value a relaxed cocktail hour and plan to do a first look to maximize time with guests.
  • You want a photographer who feels like a friend – someone who can guide you during portraits but also read the room and step back so moments can unfold naturally.
  • You’re potentially interested in adding rehearsal dinner coverage.
  • Your ideal gallery is a balance of timeless and chic imagery.
  • Nisa’s siblings recently had a baby, and you’re excited to include them in the wedding day.
  • You’re both close with your parents and are looking forward to seeing them on the wedding day.
  • You’re excited for the dance floor energy and party images!

"Other than marrying your person, choosing to work with Kate will be the best decision you make on your wedding day."

"we are awkward.
But my, oh, my – Kate worked her magic!!"

- Margi and James, Bride and Groom

 

 

“After flipping through her galleries and blogs, I remember thinking there is no way our photos can turn out this good…we are awkward. But my, oh, my – Kate worked her magic!!… My then-fiancé and I were transformed from two relatively camera-shy individuals to a couple just genuinely enjoying loving on each other while a friend takes a snap.”

– Margi and James, Bride and Groom

Their wedding was featured on the cover of Baltimore Weddings!

Capture what you value.

I provide a tailored experience.

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.

I believe the best art is made in collaboration.

I provide intentional communication to prepare for your day.

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 you and your planner as needed so you can fully immerse yourselves in the joy of your wedding day. And have the photos to prove it.

It's more than pretty pictures.

Regardless of how gorgeous the images turn out, you’re going to remember how you felt in those moments. That’s why I’ll make sure we craft an enjoyable and stress-free experience together, that meets you exactly where you are. I’ll help you do breathing exercises to keep you two in the present moment, make space for you to be as vulnerable as you would be within the walls of your home, and let you slip into a world where you’ll forget I’m there.

I let the moment naturally happen.

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.

I'm here TO CAPTURE SOMETHING NEW.

You don’t want copy, paste poses we’re here to capture something new. 

Somewhere along the line, “candids” became fake laughter, directed moments, and uncomfy posing cues – photographers recreating the same images with every couple. HARD PASS. Let’s do what comes naturally to you and amplify your love and the fun you’re already having. Most of the day will be captured through true, unstaged micro-moments. Then, during portraits, I will gently guide you to look your best.

Psst! If you’re interested, we can even bring an editorial edge and experiment a little.

I believe your story expands beyond the two of you.

I am inspired by the little moments that tell big stories.

Throughout your wedding day, there are micro-stories happening all around you. When you look through your gallery, there will be blissfully familiar moments and others that you get to experience for the first time. You’ll be able to feel the shoulder squeeze of your grandma and hear the laughter between your siblings.

Let’s tell the entire story of your wedding day as fully as it was lived.

“THERE ARE SO MANY SPECIAL MOMENTS THAT WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED CAPTURED SO BEAUTIFULLY.”
-Jess, 2023 Bride

"Hire Kate if you want people to tell you for the next year "Oh my God your wedding photos were amazing!!""

– James, 2023 Groom

Oh my God
your wedding photos were amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

Take it from my past clients. They describe my style as: artistic, organic, timeless, cozy, emotional, and grounding. Those vibes come from my photojournalistic approach and creative portraiture, complemented by true to color edits.

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?

To book your date, I require a signed contract and a $3000 retainer. I can only hold your date after I have received both. 

SHOULD WE DO AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

An engagement session serves as a time for you to warm up in front of the lens and for us to get to know each other! We can visit one of your favorite spots or I can help you pick one. Engagement sessions include a location within a 45 mile radius of the 21043 zip. But I love traveling and can create a custom quote for your engagement session if you want to wander!

WHEN SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

It’s best to schedule your engagement session roughly 2-3 months ahead of time. Keep in mind, if you’re using these images for Save the Dates, then we need to schedule your session at least 8-9 months before the big day! I offer engagement sessions from Monday to Thursday.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? DO YOU TRAVEL?

I am currently located in the Maryland and Washington D.C. area. I am passport-ready to go anywhere!

HOW DO I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

Your digital high-resolution edited photographs will be delivered via an online gallery where you can download the images and share them with family/friends. You will also receive a printing release for personal use of the images. This allows you to print the images at any photo lab of your choice and use the images online.

Is there sales tax?

I am required to collect sales tax for Maryland residents.

Do you shoot film?

Yes! I am a hybrid photographer and creative film use is included in every collection.

CAN I GIVE YOU A SHOT LIST?

For your family/friend formals, yes absolutely! For the rest of your photos, I ask you to fill out an in-depth questionnaire to help me understand your values and what matters most to you, so I can authentically document your day as it naturally unfolds.

Can you sign a contract with my parent?

For legal reasons, I only sign contracts and communicate with my wedding couple to help bring your vision to life.  I’ve found this best preserves everyone’s wedding day experience. I am also happy to communicate with your wedding planner in regards to your day.

Below are links to Galleries!

I think it’s important for you to view multiple galleries of my work that go beyond curated grids! Every couple has different values and priorities on their day, which is reflected in their gallery. Take a look below to see what differing amounts of wedding day coverage looks like.

Once you’ve read through the proposal, write down your questions, and we’ll hop on a call so I can answer them for you.
