Owner & Lead Photographer

KAITLIN MACE

Leading a team of highly talented photographers who prioritize authenticity and timeless imagery. Capturing weddings in California and all over the globe.

Capturing and creating physical representations of emotion is and has always been my passion. Having a background in emergency medicine, I have seen the fragility of life very intimately, and it has made me acutely aware of the importance of capturing all of the important milestones in life. I am dedicated to making sure that when you look back on your wedding photos, you see the best of yourself, and also the people who matter most to you. I approach every wedding with the utmost care and sensitivity, understanding that this day is not just a celebration of love, but also a chance to gather with family and friends. My favorite moments are the candid ones that often go unnoticed – loving glances, laughter, hugs, and tears of joy.

with love,

Kaitlin xx

Here to make your vision come to life

  • DETAILS and CANDID MOMENTS are a key part of how I tell your story. The moments that go seemingly unnoticed and the intimate moments with the closest people in your corner are the ones that really bring you back to relive your special day.

  • I am heavily involved in the PLANNING process and TIMELINE CREATION to help you curate a smooth flow for a day that is stress-free.

  • I do NOT treat your entire wedding day as a PHOTOSHOOT. We will work together to find pockets of time within the wedding day DEDICATED to capturing the posed/prompted photos that are the most important to you. The rest of the day will be captured CANDIDLY with a few opportunities to grab spur-of-the-moment group photos with you and your loved ones.

  • I am invested in YOU. I want to get to know your VISION thoroughly, and I will advocate for you to ensure your needs are the ones I am working to meet.

  • I worked in emergency medicine for three years before I went full time as a wedding photographer. Although my work felt purposeful and impactful, it was not the type of fulfillment I was looking for. I often came home from work feeling empty.

    I have always been interested in photography from a young age - my mom and her uncle were both talented behind the camera. My love for this type of artistry was initially inspired by them and their work!

    In 2022, I lost my step-brother. At this point, I made the decision that the impact I wanted to make was to be there to support people on the BEST days of their lives instead of their worst. Instead of holding people as they lost their loved ones, I decided I wanted to create visual memories for them to hold onto while their loved ones were alive and well through photographs, as I have firsthand knowledge of how special it is to have them. I felt a calling to leave my work in the ER, and move on to capturing YOUR memories full-time!

Capturing cherished moments with heartfelt empathy since 2019, my lens tells your unique love story. I'm dedicated to preserving emotions, creating memories that resonate forever.
