Thank you for taking the time to check out my work! I’m a semi-documentary style wedding photographer capturing moments with honesty, based in Brooklyn, NY, servicing locally in the tri-state area & beyond!
In 2022, I jumped into the deep end of the pool and took on photography as a full time job, but for me it never feels like ‘work’. It’s an absolute privilege to document these memories for you.
Hi, I’m Katie! A Brooklyn Based New York Wedding & Couples Photographer
Why do I do what I do?
Growing up I always loved flipping through family photo albums - not only to remember the memories I might have forgotten from my childhood, but also to see my parents as kids, my grandparents on their wedding day, and so on. When you think of a family photo album you imagine tons of candids; snapshots from a family vacation, a backyard barbecue, maybe moments with relatives who are no longer with us. Documented moments in time of laughter, love, joy, every emotion imaginable. I’m passionate about documenting these moments and soon-to-be memories on a wedding day. I lean on observation to freeze the details of the day, capture the emotions that were felt, and ultimately capture the story of the day rather than orchestrate it. I am, of course, there to help you with posing when needed, which I love to do as well (family group shots or guidance with couples portraits for example), but I thrive in the documentarian side of wedding photography. Capturing genuine moments in time that help tell the story of your day. This is why I do what I do, and also why I love what I do.
What is it like to work together?
When we work together I’m there to be a support during the planning process, to be a friend on the wedding day, and to photograph your day with care.
Leading up to the big day, I’ll help you to formulate a timeline, work out a schedule, and offer advice or answer questions you might have (photo or non photo related!). On your wedding day I’ll be alongside you for most of the day. I’m very adaptable, able to stay calm during stressful moments, and feel that one of my most valuable skills is my ability to read emotions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I’ll be there to keep you calm, talk you through it, and adjust our plans. If you’re anticipating the first look and just cannot wait to be there reunited with your partner, I’ll capture these emotions and then give you two a few extra moments together to soak it all in. I’m there for you as an extra friend on your day to help keep things running smoothly. It might sound cheesy, but in the process of working together I end up with such a sweet spot for my couples. I’m right there with you at the wedding; cheering you on, feeling these emotions, befriending your loved ones, and taking it all in to document your day with the same attention & care a friend might have.
