Let’s Talk About What You Really Came For
Most photographers will charge based off an hourly breakdown for the wedding day. However, the experience provided with my services extends outside of just my time photographing on wedding day - I deeply value the involvement in the time leading up to, as well as during all the editing after the wedding day. And even beyond the amount of time invested, there is also the consideration of all the skill + expertise that is unique to my experience as well.
As a result, the pricing below is based off of an experiential mindset - the numbers listed encapsulate the entire process from beginning to end - not just my time on wedding day.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty...
Full Wedding Celebrations begin at 6k.
Most couples invest 5-8k depending on final needs.
Custom pricing available for small weddings.
Engagement sessions start at 800
If you are having a traditionally sized, standard wedding, then that means that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. And practically, that looks full-day coverage to cover all your needs. Now don't freak out... this doesn't actually mean we are taking photos every minute of those hours, but again, in order to make sure this vision comes to life, we need TIME.
Time to allow creativity to flow.
Time to allow you both to settle into each other's love.
Time for the tender, sweet moments to actually play out.
Time for the emotions to be fully felt.
Outside of coverage, you will also automatically receive a 2nd shooter, a FREE engagement session as a thank you for booking, and unlimited film photos used to also capture your day, in addition to the standard digital images.

- the importance of intentionality -
- the importance of trust -
Shifting The Perspective
In order to successfully provide you images that encapsulate both candid, authentic energy and beautiful, artistic energy - there is one common theme, and that is having TIME.
It's just about 99% normal to expect that the average wedding is going to be anywhere from 8-10 hours, and it's also totally normal to expect that every gallery you see must also fall in that timeframe. But I'm here to gently tell you - that is not always true.
TIME
But think about this, even if we had all the time in the world, if neither myself nor you + your lover are fully invested in the process and open-minded + willing to do what it takes to accomplish our common goal, then sadly... the goal will not be reached.
The photographer-client relationship has to be a give and take on both ends. I 1000% need to provide help + guidance in how to achieve the photos of your dreams, but you also have a responsibility to willingly engage in the process, and with each other, on your own as well.
INTENTIONALITY
But in order for you to even feel comfortable enough to engage with each other, you have to trust the vision, the guidance and the opportunities that present themselves during your session/wedding day.
I will never push you away from LIVING and remaining PRESENT on wedding day - that is, and always will be my top priority - but it's super important for both client and photographer to trust the other party and make decisions that truly accomplish the same vision.
TRUST
At the end of the day, trust cannot happen without intentionality, and intentionality cannot happen without time.
The moment we start to rush, or try to squeeze in photos within a certain timeframe, is the moment we lose the magic of not only authenticity & creativity, but also your ability to remain fully present and enjoying every moment as well.
So What Can You Expect?
As a result of all our hard work and preparation beforehand, your sneak peek images will be sent to you within 1 week of wedding day!

Brandon & Ellisa
Kate is hands down amazing and so talented! We hired Kate for our engagement photos and our wedding! Both photo galleries came out sooo beautiful and soooo perfect! Literally, every person who has seen our photos has commented on the Kate's skills! My husband is not a fan of picture taking and she made the experience so fun and easy! Her laugh is contagious, which results in adorable, natural photos of laughter and smiles! She was super open to us having our son involved in our engagement photos, which meant the world to us! We live in Arizona and had our engagement photos and our wedding in California, so communication with our vendors was super important and she always responded to our questions quickly! Kate is genuinely a great person and is so fun to work with! Even though we live is separate states, my husband and I definitely found our go-to photographer. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for future couple/family photos!
