I'm a documentary style photographer covering the Bay Area, California & the Hawaiian Islands - specializing in weddings and elopements. I love to dive deep into the emotion and connection between every couple in an artistic, romantic, and organic way. Your love story is unique and I cannot wait to curate the most amazing experience for you. I’m here to document both the grand and delicate moments of your wedding day - one where you can feel and relive over and over again through heartful imagery.

MY STORY

Hey there, I’m Kat —
storyteller of your best moments

"We’d be a great fit if you’re looking for a down-to-earth, outgoing, and personal storytelling experience that authentically captures your love in a timeless way."

My style of documentary photography is nostalgic and non-traditional, capturing the candid shots with an editorial + organic twist. My biggest goal as a visual storyteller is to capture your love in such an authentic way, that when you look at your wedding photos you’re able to relive that same moment and catch the same feelings all over again.

“Kat was the MOST perfect photographer we could have hired for our wedding day. She is sweet, kind, and extremely professional, not to mention fantastic at what she does! Kat showed up early and was communicative before and after our wedding. We loved our engagement photos with her and we love the preview we received THE DAY AFTER our wedding even more!! Kat captured the best day of our lives in such a beautiful way, we could not be more excited or thrilled to see the entire day. We highly recommend Kat for your wedding day photography. You will not regret it!”

“Working with Kat was such a wonderful experience! From booking to shooting to receiving our images, the process was so easy and smooth. My husband and I struggle in front of a camera sometimes, but Kat made us feel so comfortable and caught some great natural photos of us. We would absolutely recommend her and would book her again when we want updates!"

“Our experience with Kat was nothing short of perfect! For my partner and I, our engagement photos were the first time we would be in front of a camera so we were a bit nervous! Kat made us feel so comfortable and like ourselves. We were drawn to her work because it seemed to be authentic and that's how we wanted to be captured. Our session consisted of us playing and laughing and showing up just as we are. When I look back on our photos my heart is so full because these are the looks and feelings. We've loved how understanding Kat has been throughout the entire wedding planning process and can't wait to have our big day done with her! I'd recommend her to anyone.

"at is amazing!! Hiring her for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She is responsive and timely. She is kind and enthusiastic and made our wedding even more fun! Our wedding party and family also raved about how much they enjoyed working with her. Kat gives good direction while also allowing the moment to be fluid and genuine. Not only are her photos beautiful, but they truly capture the pure emotion of the day. Looking back at our gallery, we get to relive every moment and we are so grateful. We cannot say enough positive things about working with her. We definitely plan to use her for all out future photography needs and highly recommend her for yours too!"
