Kaitlin did a fantastic job with communicating with me prior to my engagement. She even went to the place beforehand to scout out great photo opportunities, which gave me ease heading into a big moment. I would recommend anyone looking in the Southern California area for a wedding photographer to give her a message or call.

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 detail shots to capture the essence of your wedding day exquisitely. 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 out. 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 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 many edited photos will we receive?

I bring a second photographer to every wedding that I photograph that is more than 6 hours to ensure that we capture every special moment and get multiple angles that I would not be able to capture alone. This ensures that we have multiple sets of eyes to be on the lookout for moments happening simultaneously, and it also allows us to be in two separate locations at once. You can expect to receive between 50-75 images per hour of coverage.
