Who am Iโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m Kate (she/her). Hopefully your new best friend. Your street food connoisseur, queer activist, cat mom, justice minded, old fashioned mixologist, and professional wedding photographer.

I started out shooting travel/street photography. Some families here and there. Babies (who doesn't want to photograph babies!). And then...love. When I am around two people madly in love - I lose my breath a little. My heart beats fast. It makes me feel alive and everything seems right in the world. There is nothing like witnessing two people commit to loving one another. Not despite of their flaws and quirks, but because of them. Two imperfect people, willing to put in the work for the greatest gift there is in the world.

I want to help create those dream wedding photos that you long for. Whether that means you are eloping in your grandparents back yard, or a destination wedding in Mexico. Hiring a wedding photographer is very different than hiring any other vendor. Itโ€™s important that we have a connection so that you feel 100 percent yourselves in front of me. This will be an experience we create together. I want you to look back on these photos for years and years and remember how you felt in that exact moment.

And if you are still feeling awkward in front of the camera - there is always whiskey. Kidding! (not kidding).

 

Who are youโ€ฆ

You are most likely scrolling through a list of photographers you have seen on Instagram. Or that a friend told you about wondering which style you most connect with. Thinking about all the decisions you have ahead of you and how they will come together. Wondering if the photographer you just talked to on the phone was faking their excitement. Wondering if this photography thing is even really worth it?!

Listen, I get it. 

But, then you start inserting yourself into some photos you come across and imagining you and your lover there. And you realize that really the most important thing is that you found your person. And your love is worth documenting. You start thinking of your little quirks you have together. How they kiss you gently. And not so gently. And how you can't wait to spend the rest of your life with them. How you get to plan this day that represents the two of you in every way. And it will be a day you talk about forever.

And then you realize, damnโ€ฆ the photos will absolutely be worth it.

 

 
 
 

Meet Taylor

Hi! Iโ€™m Taylor (she/her). I am originally from Georgia but fell in love with Colorado when I moved here over 5 years ago. Kate and I have the best life together and getting to work together has made it even sweeter. I have always wanted to pursue photography and quickly fell in love with weddings and being a small part of someoneโ€™s special day. Being a second shooter with Kate allows me to focus on the โ€œin-between momentsโ€ and different angles. There is so much going on in a wedding day and so many different stories to tell and moments to capture. I often get to tag along on elopements as well! Falling in love with the couple and their story is the best thing about this job. During elopements I am snapping photos and also doing anything and everything in between! Some other facts about me - I have worked with teens with an outdoor education organization, my favorite meal is chips (I could live off of snacks), I am a 5 on the Enneagram and even though I have traveled all over the world and even lived overseas for a couple years nothing compares to being in Georgia and having coffee with my Grangran and Papaw.
