I am so honored that you are interested in joining that Katie Annie Bride Family! I believe in capturing the heart of your story. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
I began capturing images on film at the age of 28 when my daughter was born and I fell in love with our new life as a family. The fact that my husband and I could create such a beautiful being from our love amazed me. I am convinced that everyone deserves beautiful photos, and that they should be surrounded by love. I believe that these photos should reflect that. As a nurse, wife, mother and photographer, I strive to capture your best selves and create friendship with you!

Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
Engagement Session
We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
Wedding Day Prep
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
The Big Day
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
They're Here!

Katie is absolutely amazing! Her work is beautiful for sure, but above that, she was such a joy to work with. We knew from the first phone call that she was the photographer for us. She instantly felt like a close friend.
Don't wait another minute!

She is beyond personable and made us feel so comfortable taking engagement and wedding pictures. She captures all of the special moments throughout the day, even ones I had no idea were happening! When we got our gallery back, I felt like I was reliving my whole wedding day. These pictures I will cherish forever.
Perfect keepsakes.

REVIEW NO. 3 OF 3
We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.

DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
Wedding albums are available a la carte or as part of your wedding collection.
After we deliver your gallery, we'll work with you to order prints and design an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
All of our collections include a complimentary session.
