client love notes
Katelyn really helped my venue get it together and took charge in all of the right ways to help our wedding day go smoothly. She was fun, helped encourage us to pose when it's not something incredibly natural for us. Our guests all loved her, dog and baby included! She sent our sneak peaks over the next morning and we have rights to all of our pictures. As you can see, she is a very talented photographer, our photos are gorgeous
"I could not recommend Katelyn more and could not thank her enough for all of her hard work that really helped us to make our day."
"I already can't wait to try and book another international trip and shoot there with Katelyn. Despite having to cut her trip shorter than expected, Katelyn went above and beyond to make sure we could still squeeze in our session."
Katelyn made us feel comfortable as if we were shooting with a friend. She goes with the flow, does her research before hand to scout out the best spots, and makes sure you get all the shots you want even if it means going a little over on time.
She thought of everything; down to the small details that pulled the it all together!! A couple of my fav things was playing music throughout the photoshoot and she made sure we had time to pop that champagne. Kate has the SWEETEST soul and we could feel the love around us! She helped keep it fun and memorable. She truly cares about what YOU want on your day. Book with her, she’s amazing!!!
"Katelyn is absolutely amazing!! She helped capture our elopement in the Bonneville Salt Flats and it was beyond dreamy."
We spent the whole day together and she made us so comfortable the entire time, it was like hanging out with a dear old friend. And the free the dress movement that she is creating is such a unique and beautiful experience.
"My husband and I did a free the dress session with her and it was nothing short of amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented and I was already crying over the sneak peeks we got, but she is just a wonderful person to be around."
My heart has found its home in two special places: California and Italy. I've devoted my time to building relationships with local vendors, exploring venues, and crafting the ideal photography packages for each location. My passion for these regions drives my work, and I thrive on capturing beautiful love stories in these beautiful regions.
