Hi! I’m Kate, 

and I’m in your corner.

With my whole soul, I believe that you and your partner should marry in a way that feels like you. I was a mainstream wedding photographer and realized not all couples were actually feeling it on their wedding day.  They felt more like stagehands in someone else’s show. 

I changed course so that you can too.

Freeing couples to get married exactly how they want to, with no limits on what that looks like. I’ll have your back for every step on this trail. (Literally….I may be behind you, carrying your dress or pack. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.)

Here’s how we’ll do this thing
