For Kate, it’s never been about about Instagram or trends — she has always sought to create everlasting heirlooms that form the bond for a new family. For her, each wedding is a unique milestone that she is honored to authentically experience along side her couples. Kate’s strength is blending ‘of the moment' artful photographs with classic family portraits and documented memories that make both her couples and their families happy. Her 15+ years of photographing weddings allow her to anticipate and create cinematic and songful photographs braided with deep meaning.
With origins in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she studied to be a museum curator at the George Washington University in Washington DC, falling into wedding photography as a creative outlet that has exceeded her wildest dreams — a career now spanning over fifteen years, travel to countless cities, states and countries and a masterpiece archive of photographs. She is recognized in the industry as a ‘top photographer’ by BRIDES, Washingtonian Weddings and Martha Stewart Weddings, along with many more features in all the leading wedding magazines and online publications. A longtime city resident of Washington DC, Kate also calls Harbor Springs, Michigan home.

“My family farm in Upper Michigan is my favorite place in the world. My grandparents are the third generation to run the farm and instilled in me a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for family, which really is the essence of my work.”
“I am obsessed with JFK JR and Carolyn Bessette’s long lost wedding footage — it makes me feel honored to be a wedding photographer.”
“My biggest wedding tip? Enjoy what comes your way. Don't sweat the small stuff. Take in breaths of gratitude for finding love and having family with you whenever you can. Always be smiling!”
