Katie is a documentary wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Kansas City, MO, with occasional work in Southern California. She specializes in both film and digital photography, capturing the essence of meaningful moments with intention and artistry.

While photography is often described as “capturing a moment in time,” Katie believes it’s much more than that. Over time, photographs become tangible memories; visual stories that preserve not just what a day looked like, but how it felt. This perspective fuels her passion for being fully present on a wedding day, often with multiple cameras in hand, documenting each layer as it naturally unfolds.

Many couples share how quickly their wedding day goes by. Katie’s approach is rooted in slowing things down and allowing moments to evolve organically. With a calm, observant presence and an unobtrusive documentary style, she creates space for her clients to be fully themselves, never overly posed or directed.

Her goal is for the experience to feel effortless and authentic, and for the final gallery to reflect that same feeling. Each image is crafted to evoke the senses and bring her clients back to the atmosphere, emotion, and quiet in-between moments that made the day truly unforgettable.
