Your wedding day deserves more than a gallery of pretty pictures. It deserves to feel like a story you can step back into, over and over again. My approach blends documentary honesty with an editorial eye, capturing moments as they unfold while guiding you into portraits that feel natural, cinematic, and full of life.

Whether it’s an intimate elopement on the California coast or a destination celebration across the world, I focus on preserving the emotions, atmosphere, and tiny in-between details that make your day unforgettable. Every gallery is designed to feel effortless, intentional, and deeply you.

The Heart Behind My Work

I’ve had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, thanks to a mom who believed every little moment was worth keeping. What started as documenting my own world soon grew into photographing others, and now I get to tell love stories across California and beyond.

My style is equal parts documentary and editorial: I’ll step back to catch the unposed magic and step in when you need direction that feels natural and cinematic. More than anything, I want you to feel seen, comfortable, and fully present on your wedding day so your photos don’t just show what it looked like, but what it felt like.

Based in Santa Barbara, I specialize in weddings and elopements rooted in nostalgia, adventure, and connection, with passports always ready for destination celebrations.

I'M KATRINA, I'm so happy you're here

WEDDINGS

Your day is more than a timeline of events — it’s a collection of fleeting glances, quiet in-between moments, and joy that refuses to be staged. I approach every wedding with intention, blending candid honesty with an artistic touch so your photos feel timeless, cinematic, and alive with the magic of your day.

THE EXPERIENCE

ELOPEMENTS

There’s something so special about weaving both digital and film together,  the way digital captures every laugh and fleeting glance, and film wraps it all in a glow that feels like a memory you can touch. I love blending the two to tell your story the way it actually felt. Warm, nostalgic, and a little bit magical. It’s not just about how it looked that day, but how it felt to be there, completely wrapped up in the moment.

Film and digital — intertwined like your story

From the second our engagement session started, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Nothing felt forced or awkward,she encouraged us to just be ourselves, have fun, and be a little silly, and the photos reflect exactly that. No corny poses, no stiff smiles, just our real love story captured in the most magical way.

When we got our photos back, I was completely blown away. They are STUNNING. I’ve gotten endless compliments on how beautifully they capture our true connection and how natural and effortless they look. Katrina truly has a gift for turning real moments into art. If you’re looking for photos that feel authentic, timeless, and filled with love then look no further. She’s the one!!!
