Let’s get to know each other

Hello! My name is Katya!

I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections! Let's dive in!

In my heart of hearts, I'm an outdoor lover and adventure seeker, as long as my best friend and love of my life, William and our two kiddos are by my side. I'm most at home in the mountains or by the ocean, am rarely seen without a blanket wrapped around me, feel happiest around a firepit, and in LOVE with our family road trips!

At my core - I'm multi-passionate and a true visionary. But the one thing that has stood the test of time is my deep love for photography - any time the camera is in my hand I feel at home, and I cannot wait to tell YOUR story and meet you oh-so-soon!

The Process…

  • It is so important to me to have a connection with each and every one of my couples. My couples are unique in that they are fun-loving, adventurous, and full of life. And they know and understand that to get fun, joyful, and genuine photos of their love story, we need to have a connection, and a relationship. I always say I want to show up to your wedding day and feel like a friend or an extra bridesmaid, rather than a hired vendor. So that mean - our very first step is connecting via a Zoom call so we can get to know each other!

  • After our initial video call, if you and your other half decide we’re the perfect fit to work together, it’ll be time to make it official! All you need to do is decide on your package, and from there, I’ll send you an online proposal with your custom contract, invoice, and payment schedule all able to be completed online!

    Once your 25% retainer is paid, your date will be saved and the fun will begin! From there, I’ll begin sending you helpful education such as my wedding guide, my list of vendor recommendations, education on first looks and timelines, and more. And then, the best part– we’ll start planning your engagement session!

  • This is my favorite part! Engagement sessions are included in every one of my wedding packages because I truly believe they are a vital part of the wedding experience as a whole. Engagement sessions are the time where we get to know each other, I get to see how you interact together, and you become comfortable in front of my camera. We get to shoot in any location you choose, you can wear what you’re comfortable in, and there’s no guests begging for your attention. It’s just you guys and me, unfolding your love story. After the session, we’ll probably grab drinks or dinner together to further our relationship and when your images are ready, they’ll be featured on the blog and delivered via online gallery!!

  • I love being involved in the wedding planning process. My goal as a photographer is to make sure you have the most fun and stress free day possible. Because of that, I am extremely organized when it comes to your wedding day plans! Leading up to the day, I will help you create a detailed timeline for the day, a family formal photo list, and will send you multiple questionnaire to ensure everything runs smoothly. You’ll receive my wedding day questionnaire and vendor questionnaire, and from your answers, I’ll create all the organizational documents for your wedding day. About 2 weeks out from the wedding, we’ll have a video call to go over any final details to ensure all goes well the day of!

  • Hooray!!! It’s here! The day of your wedding goes by in an instant. I want to make sure it’s the most fun and stress free day possible, for not just you- but your family and friends. I arrive 30 minutes before our scheduled start time so I can meet your family and friends, get to know them, and scope out the lay of the land. I’ll begin with photographing your details, and my second shooter will be with your groom and groomsmen! My absolute favorite part of the day is bride and groom portraits, so we’ll ensure we have plenty of time for this! It’s my job to capture all the traditional moments, and in between moments so that you can look back on moments you may not have even realized were happening to relive your incredible day.

  • After the wedding day, when all your edits are complete, you will receive an online gallery of HUNDREDS of your images. It’s my goal to get you your images while you’re still excited about the wedding, and the bliss hasn’t faded. From this gallery, you will be able to share your images with friends and family, download to your computer, share to social media and order prints. While you have full print rights to your images, I always recommend couples print through a professional lab if you’re going to make prints for your walls–the quality of professional labs is just so much better!! You’ll receive a PIN code to download your images and I encourage my couples to pop open a bottle of wine and enjoy reliving their day together!!

I would LOVE to chat with you and your fiance about your wedding plans and how we can work together to make your wedding day the most fun and stress free day of your life!
