Your Story, Moments You Can Feel.

The triumphant cheers of your loved ones as you walk down the aisle together. The inside jokes and subtle tears during your sibling’s speech. The undeniable electricity of the dance floor. The anticipation of your own heartfelt and laughter-filled memories.

These are the moments you’ll want to bottle up and re-live. Over 20 years of experience have refined Kate’s approach to capture not only what’s most important to you now, but what she knows will become surprisingly meaningful after the wedding is said and done. 

Captured Honestly.

After the last two decades, one common thread has proved true time and time again: the best photographs come from when you are unapologetically wrapped up in the moment. 

This is an experience committed to that truth — mindful of the details and providing an effortless atmosphere — all so you can be hopelessly immersed in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

"Kate was a dream to work with!"

I was put at such ease knowing she would have everything taken care of… Of course, the pictures... they are breathtaking and we couldn't have dreamed of better. I love her approach of capturing natural and real moments.

"Kate is a true artist."

We are truly obsessed with Kate… She brought such an incredible energy to our entire wedding day. Every photo is super natural and captures so many emotions, which is exactly what the goal it was for our wedding photos. Kate and her team absolutely exceeded all of our expectations and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

“Run, do not walk, and book Kate immediately!”

I am absolutely floored by the photos she took . . . She captures moments that are so special . . . You can feel the love in every photo all thanks to Kate.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we inquire for our wedding dates?

To provide the signature level of service she is known for, Kate and her team accept a limited number of dates each year. It is best to inquire 9-12 months ahead so we can prepare without rush. However, for weddings sooner than that, inquire just in case there is space in the calendar.  

What areas do you service?

While Kate and her team are based out of New Jersey, they are known for capturing weddings from New York City to Rhode Island and Philadelphia, and occasionally the California coast. If you’re planning a soiree outside of the East Coast, get in touch about travel availability for your wedding.

How will you work with our planner?

We hold immense respect for the creative and logistical vision of your wedding, and have refined our process to fit in seamlessly with the framework built by your planner. Expect an efficient consultation and tasteful touch points to ensure everything works together. 

What is your approach to posing?

Once the classic portraits have been quickly and expertly taken care of, Kate and her team will take a step back so your experience can be centered on connection rather than photographs. You will receive just enough guidance to ensure your images are beautiful, yet intentionally sweeping you up in the moment.
