"You know when you go on a first date and sparks just fly and there’s an immediate connection and you just don’t want the night to end? That’s what it’s like meeting Katrina for the first time and having her photograph your wedding"

"Katrina brings a light out in people when she's not even trying to."

I pay attention to light, setting, movement and the subtle moments you might miss as they happen. I guide when needed, step back when your connection takes over, and stay fully present so nothing meaningful goes unnoticed.  These details create photos that hold the same feeling every time you look back on them.

INTENTION IN EVERY DETAIL

FOUR

When we work together, my goal is for you to feel safe, supported and completely at ease. I bring a calm, grounded energy that allows you to relax into the moment without ever feeling rushed or watched. Your photos will reflect the ease, intimacy and connection that define your relationship.

COMFORT, CARE AND PRESENCE

three

Your most beautiful moments happen when you feel free to be yourselves. I focus on creating an environment where nothing is forced and nothing feels posed. Instead, you can settle into each other and let your natural chemistry shine.

NATURAL AND CANDID CONNECTION

TWO

My approach is rooted in honest, intentional storytelling. Like photographing your day as if we were pulling stills from your favorite film. Warm light, movement and emotion all blend together to create imagery that feels timeless and full of feeling.

CINEMATIC AND AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING

one

Your time with me is designed to feel calm, natural and deeply meaningful. I want you to be fully present in your moments while I gently document the beauty unfolding around you. From the first message to the final gallery, my approach is guided by connection, trust and a cinematic eye for the small details that make your love story one of a kind.

An experience rooted in intention

Film lets me slow down and feel the moment more fully. The colors feel richer, the emotion feels deeper, and the story feels more real. I include film in every session because it captures the heart of your day in a way nothing else can. Your gallery will always have film woven throughout so it feels warm, nostalgic, and full of life.

My Thoughtful Approach as your photographer

Working with me feels less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with an old friend. I’ll guide you through natural prompts so you never feel stiff or awkward — even if you’ve never had professional photos taken before. My style blends cinematic storytelling with an editorial touch, and film photography is woven into every package for that nostalgic, timeless glow you can’t replicate digitally. Together, we’ll create images that feel like stills from your own love story.

photos told with heart

Weddings aren't just about going through the motions. You can do ANYTHING you want on your wedding day - it's your wedding day! I help my couples create a personal and intentional timeline for their days, making sure that you're at the center of it all and we get all the gorgeous photos you're dreaming about!

a personalized and custom timeline

"One of the most unforgettable moments of the day came at the end of our ceremony when an unexpected torrential downpour surprised us all and soaked our guests. Despite the chaos, Kat made a split-second decision to keep capturing the magic, even at the expense of her camera equipment. Her dedication to ensuring every important moment was documented was nothing short of heroic. She captured our first kiss in the rain - an iconic moment that later went viral on Instagram (23 million views!!) and was featured in People Magazine and the New York Times."

A dedicated right hand woman 

After your wedding or session, you will receive a beautiful online gallery full of your digital and 35mm film photos! You can expect to receive about 150-300 film photos for a full wedding day. You will have access to high resolution and web resolution files so you have the best quality, always! You will also have direct access to the best quality printing labs to be able to print your photos directly from your gallery.

Love is more than a moment in time. It is a feeling you return to again and again, carried in the images that tell your story with honesty and intention. Your photographs should do more than document the day. They should hold the emotion, the color, the movement, and the quiet magic in between.

That is why your investment goes deeper than hours or coverage. It is choosing someone who truly sees you, someone who understands the heart behind your celebration, and someone who captures the moments you did not even know you would want to remember.

With every wedding, elopement, or session, my intention is the same. I create imagery that feels honest, cinematic, and alive. Photographs that still take your breath away years from now.

When the day has passed and the details soften with time, your photos become the place you return to. They are meant to feel timeless, intentional, and beautifully true to you.

$5500 for Weddings (Average investment is $7500)
$2000 for Weekday Elopements (Monday-Thursday)
$950 for Portrait Sessions (Engagement, Couple, Maternity, Proposal, and Family)

Yes! I photograph weddings, elopements, and portraits all across California and beyond. Whether you’re planning a Santa Barbara courthouse wedding, a Hawaii Wedding Dream or a destination celebration overseas, I’m always up for the journey.

Travel is built into my approach — you’ll never have to convince me to hop on a plane for love.

02. do you travel?

I open my books for courthouse elopements no more than 3 months out of your date! Weddings are usually between 12-14 months out of your date. And Portrait sessions no more than 3 months out of your date! 

03.How far in advance can I book?

Yes! I do take the time to edit your photos. It is one of the biggest parts of the job. I say my editing style is true to tone with a hint of that california-summer warmth. At this time I do not offer the raw images under any circumstance. 

04. Do you edit the photos? Can I have the raws?

YES! I adore film. Film is included in all of my packages. There is something so nostalgic about it that you can NOT replicate with digital. 

05. Do you shoot film?

First you'll inquire and if you are truly ready to book I will shoot over a contract and the invoice for the 30% non refundable retainer. Once that is paid and the contract is signed you're locked in!

06. How do I secure you as my photographer?

With care and intention, I document every celebration, weaving together honest storytelling and editorial artistry. The result is a gallery that feels timeless, cinematic, and alive — a true reflection of your love.
