When we met Kate of Katherine Elyse Photography, it was love at first meeting. Her imagery was immaculate, but her spirit was what really drew us in. She’s a pro at capturing offbeat and authentic weddings and we felt instantly that we had to let our readers in on her expertise and drive. She’s shot over 200 weddings over ten years and still loves every minute of it, too.

Let’s learn a bit more about this California-based wedding photographer who manages to translate stories of love into visual imagery that wows us…

It was the hint that this wedding would be glam, whimsical, animal-centric, and totally fun. i mean, after the ceremony the guests were treated to a petting zoo!

Jay and Rick described their Chabot Space Center wedding style as modern, edgy, and glam and I couldn’t love it more.

The ceremony was also very customized and included the Quaker tradition of sitting in silence and waiting to be moved to speak. Don’t miss AMAZING fashion (featuring epic ink), ceremony space to die for, and pops of pinks and reds that make everything have warm vibes…
