Trusting that the most meaningful moments rarely need direction.
Instead, I pay attention.
To the way a father looks at his daughter before the ceremony.
To the friends who have been beside a couple since college.
To the quiet moments no one realizes are unfolding.
The result is a collection of photographs that feels honest, personal, and deeply rooted in the experience of the day.
The goal has never been to create images that could belong to anyone.
The goal is to create photographs that could only belong to the people in them.
The weddings I'm drawn to are filled with people who genuinely love being together.
Long dinners. Lifelong friendships. Parents trying not to cry during the ceremony. A dance floor packed with people who don't want the night to end.
They're celebrations rooted in connection, filled with thoughtful details and the people who matter most.
At its heart, a wedding is a gathering of everyone you love and everyone who has shaped your story.
And that's worth remembering.
Hi, I'm Kate.
I live in Pacific Grove, California and photograph weddings on film and digital around the world.
I've always been fascinated by people. Their relationships, their stories, and the small moments that often go unnoticed.
Photography allows me to preserve those moments with honesty and intention, creating images that feel both beautiful and deeply personal.
When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll likely find me exploring the coast, traveling somewhere new, knitting/sewing or spending time with the people I love most.
