EXPERIENCE

an

to remember

From the moment you book, we are here for you providing ongoing support throughout your entire journey to ensure your wedding gallery is one that you’ve always dreamed of.

COMPELLING & INTENTIONAL IMAGERY

Your wedding photography experience is one that ensures your celebration is captured in a way that you will be proud to share with your friends, family, and future generations. It will be what floods you with memories of the most precious moments and the love that surrounded you as you said “I do”. We will be in it together every step of the way to ensure your photo experience is seamless, stress-free, and tailored to your needs as a couple to preserve your legacy exquisitely.

Serving you and your vision

Every wedding & elopement collection includes the following:

+ Customizable Collections

My collections are tailored to YOUR specific needs based on the needs you express to me on your discovery call/inquiry questionnaire.

+ Timeline Creation

We will make sure that enough time is allotted for the things that matter the most to you. I will work with you to ensure that everything is captured, and that you get to experience your wedding day without added pressure of trying to fit photos in.

+ Wedding Planning Guide

I’ve created a handbook for KMP couples to assist you in planning your wedding. Most couples I work with have never done this before and don’t know where to start. I have a lot of insight and knowledge to share, and will do so with my printed VIP planning handbook!

+ In-Person Reveal Appointment

Your wedding experience doesn’t end with a “here you go” type of wedding gallery delivery. We offer our couples an in-person wedding album reveal where we will design your heirloom album so we can get your special memories off of your screen and into your hands & home.

+ Intentional Check-Ins

There will be a sequence of check-ins (in person at my office OR via Zoom) in which we will go over your wedding vision in more detail and discuss things like your timeline, family photo list, and more!

+ Vendor Recommendations

It is so important to hire vendors that are credible in the industry. I know that if you and I vibe, then I can recommend you to vendors that you will vibe with as well. Let me know what vendors you are still searching for, and I will help you find them!

Package Customizations

    Film Photography

    In addition to the digital images you will receive from your wedding, you will also have the option to have your special moments captured on 35mm film camera to enjoy together. Film gives an unmatched, nostalgic vibe that just cannot be perfectly replicated with a digital camera, helping to diversify and add even more real, authentic feeling to the images that are delivered to you in your wedding gallery.

    Engagement Session

    It is highly encouraged for couples to book an engagement session add-on with your wedding package. This will help you get comfortable in front of my lens before the big day so there are less nerves on a day that you deserve to experience stress-free. It also helps us become more acquainted with each other as wedding photography is a very intimate experience!

  • Rehearsal Dinner Coverage

    Rehearsal dinner coverage is a great way to ensure you get fun group photos and candids with all of the most special people in your life without having to stress about it on your wedding day. Not to mention, your rehearsal dinner is another celebratory festivity in your wedding weekend, and you will love looking back on this special event!

Kaitlin gives amazing direction when shooting and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I always felt I am not a very photogenic person, but with Kaitlin's direction, I felt so comfortable and it showed through the beautiful pictures. Everything from location suggestions to lighting in the photos, you can just feel how much love and passion Kaitlin has for capturing these special moments

The Process

AN ELEVATED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE

  • Once you’ve looked through this experience page, you may submit an inquiry through my contact form at the bottom of this page and I will send you detailed information about my wedding collections via email within 48 hours. You can easily book an optional discovery call or in-person appointment with me if you would prefer so we can chat more about your vision!

  • I understand how valuable your time is, especially while going through the extensively time-consuming process of planning a wedding. With this in mind, I have crafted a guide that will be emailed to you upon inquiry to guide you to select the collection that is most appropriate for your vision, and to help you understand what is to come in your wedding photography experience. Once you have selected the package that best fits your needs, all you have to do is let me know, and I will send you a proposal to your email!

  • Within 24 hours of receiving your package selection, you will have a proposal in your email inbox that includes your wedding photography contract and invoice for the booking retainer. Once these are squared away, your date will officially be reserved on my calendar. The planning process will begin with an initial questionnaire that helps me understand where you are in the planning process, and also helps us relieve any anxiety later down the line by establishing a preliminary timeline that we can refine and perfect together as we work towards your wedding date.

  • I am here for you every step of the way! We can discuss your preferred way of communicating so that you have access to me for any questions, photography planning help, or any inspiration or plans you wish to share with me!

FAQs

What is your photography style?

My photography style combines the elegance of editorial shots, the authenticity of documentary moments, and a touch of luxury to capture the essence of your wedding day beautifully. My images have a timeless & true to color, yet a dreamy film vibe to them. You can view examples of my work under the “portfolio” tab.

How far in advance should we book you?

I recommend booking 8-12 months before your wedding date, but I accept bookings up to 18 months our. Peak wedding season weekend dates (March-May and August-November) book very quickly and very far out in advance. I do take bookings within the 8 month time frame if my availability allows, and I work with a tight-knit team of highly-qualified associates who can take on weddings in my place if I am unavailable, while I still communicate, edit, and deliver with a client experience that is consistent with my brand.

Do you retouch your images?

I hand edit my images with stylizing techniques to enhance the overall aesthetics and mood of wedding photos, but I do not engage in body modification or extensive skin retouching. My goal is to preserve the authenticity of your special moments while adding artistic enhancements.

What if we are awkward in front of the camera?

Almost every couple I have ever worked with has prefaced their session with a statement to the effect of “we’re so awkward in pictures”. Over the past five years, I have refined the art of posing and prompting couples to help showcase their love story in a way that’s authentic to them. I love movement and intimate, genuine moments. I have experience posing couples with differing personalities and levels of comfort with displays of affection with this method, and have had much success in helping couples overcome their perceived awkwardness. I highly recommend an engagement session if this is a worry of yours so we can get our feet wet and help you get comfortable BEFORE the big day.

What is your gallery turnaround time?

Our wedding gallery turnaround time is 8-10 weeks, with a 48-hour sneak peek consisting of about 25 images to give you a taste of what you will be expecting when you receive the full gallery. Galleries for standard sessions are delivered in 4 weeks, and mini session galleries are delivered in 2 weeks.

How do we book?

I require a $1250 non-refundable booking fee for weddings (or 50% session fee for engagements, maternity or other smaller sessions) and a signed contract to lock in your date. Booking fees must be paid within 48 hours of receiving your customized proposal, or the day will open back up to other couples, and you will need to submit a new inquiry.
