You're engaged! Congratu-frickin-lations!!!! I hope you're having so much fun planning your wedding and want to help any way I can. I'm here to take photos that make you smile when you see them because they are playful, authentic, and just genuinely you! I love stepping back and letting you be yourselves together because your love is way prettier than any pose that I can put you in. If you want to plan a crazy adventure into the mountains, snuggle up in your favorite brewery, get married in a field in the middle of nowhere, or get funky in an urban venue downtown, I'M IN!

I embrace the unique personalities and details that every one of my couples bring to their wedding day. I am not here to take photos that will make your wedding look like everyone else's. My passion is to make sure your photos capture your authentic selves, and to make sure we have fun doing it.

I love diverse, quirky, and weird. LGBTQ+ Friendly.

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Client Testimonial

This is the spot to share a short client quote. The formatting of this section looks best with only a few sentences, but feel free to include a link to full reviews.

"Words cant even describe how happy we are with Kate...Just do yourself a favor and book this lady for your wedding, you will not be disappointed. She is professional, fun, non-judgmental, listens well, and is spunky, not to mention EXTREMELY good at her passion. Literally a perfect fit for my husband and I. Thank you for everything, Kate! Wish we had endless events to book you for but I will continue to recommend you to EVERYONE! Much love lady!" - From The Knot

"Kate was absolutely brilliant. She made us feel comfortable, and listened to what we wanted from our photographs, and more than delivered. I highly highly recommend working with Kate for your wedding, *especially* if you are an LGBT couple! No stodgy heteronormative posing or uncomfortable "who is the guy" awkwardness. Kate got it and our photos turned out beautifully as a result &lt;3 Thanks Kate!&quot; - From The Knot

&quot;Booking Kate will be the best decision that you make for your wedding. You will never regret it. She was amazing from the first day we met her to our wedding day. We recently got our photos back and we love every single one of them. Everyone we have shown our photos to has commented on how unique, artistic, and beautiful they are. My sister is a wedding planner in LA and works with very high-end photographers. She said that she would have no hesitation in recommending Kate to any of her clients. We love Kate and are beyond grateful we picked her!&quot; - From The Knot

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
