I got married in October 2024, and I recently received my full wedding gallery. My husband and I were totally WOWED by Katie’s artistry. As we looked through the gallery, I was touched by the meaningful moments that I had forgotten and Katie captured them so well. I love, love the blend of color and sepia portraits that helps paint the picture of one of the biggest days of my life. I highly recommend Katie as she is a wonderful person who cares about her clients and wants to ensure that your “Special Day” will leave you with fond memories to cherish for years to come.

With 13 years of wedding experience, I've learned that the most beautiful photos happen when you forget I'm even there. When you're lost in each other, celebrating with your favorite people, and living fully in each moment. That's where the magic lives, and that's exactly what I'm here to capture.

You've seen those wedding galleries where everyone looks like uncomfortable mannequins standing in a field. Where the photographer spent your entire cocktail hour barking poses at you while your guests wondered where you disappeared to. Where none of the photos actually look like you.

That's not how I work.

For photos that actually feel like you. 

  • 4 hours of focused coverage
  • Just me and my camera capturing your magic
  • Up to 150 perfectly edited images
  • Full rights to all photos
  • Can only be booked within 3 months of your wedding date

The Story of Us - $4,000

NORTHERN ILLINOIS wedding photography packages

we should totally talk!

Four weeks after your wedding, your complete gallery arrives. Cue the happy tears! You'll have a beautiful online gallery where you can download, share, and print to your heart's content.

step five: gallery delivery

You show up ready to marry your person, and I handle the rest. I'll be there capturing every laugh, every tear, every stolen glance and joyful moment. You won't feel like you're being followed by a photographer, you'll just get to be completely present in your day.

step four: wedding day

This is where we get to know each other and you get comfortable in front of my camera. We'll laugh, play around, and create some gorgeous images while building that friendship that makes wedding day photography so natural and easy.

step three: engagement session

Once we're aligned, you'll sign a contract and pay your deposit to lock in your date. Then the fun really begins, we'll plan your engagement session, discuss timeline details, and I'll probably ask you seventeen more questions about how you met because I'm obsessed with love stories.

step two: make it official

Reach out and tell me about your love story! I respond within 24 hours (usually way sooner because patience isn't my strong suit). We'll chat about your vision, your vibe, and all the details that make your day special.

step one: let's connect
