More importantly, the love between two people, the friends that surround them, and the family that holds them close to their hearts. If you can’t tell, I’m pretty passionate about weddings. My goal is to capture your story through images that inspire others to share it for years to come. I want you to look back on your photos and remember every part of the day – to hear the laughs, smell the flowers from your bouquet, and feel each kiss.
Growing up, my dad was an organizer: the garage, our living room, the bedrooms, and his basement. We constantly had a new “Feng Shui” to our home, as he would re-arrange the furniture when he needed a change. In the 25 years I grew up in our family home, only one thing remained in the same spot – the photo albums. My parents kept our memories tucked away in a basket in the living room for us to reminisce. My parents acting crazy through their college years (they’re high school sweethearts), my older sister holding me when I came home from the hospital, the traditional Christmas morning photo of our reaction to all of the presents – all of these memories I would have otherwise forgotten. My parent’s wedding album was my favorite to flip through. After over 50 years of marriage, it is heartwarming to look at the images and see what an amazing relationship starts from and how important it is to have someone there to capture those special moments.
In 2010, I received an Associate's Degree in Photography from Nossi College of Art in Nashville, TN. I loved learning my trade in the South, but ultimately, I returned to my Midwest roots to build my business. I began my career photographing friends and family from my small town. However, these days, I love to meet new people, get to know them in every way, and capture the most important days of their lives.

Hannah & Antonio
Kate and her team are top notch! I had a long engagement, and Kate was there for every step of the process. We sent her inspiration pics and she went above and beyond. She has a gift of capturing a moment and all the feelings wrapped up in it. Kate’s attitude and confident direction made us feel at ease and relaxed during shoots which really comes through in the photos!

Kate and her team captured my wedding day exactly as I envisioned, we cannot wait to use Kate again for future moments! I highly recommend!
"Captured my wedding day EXACTLY as I envisioned"
Building out my couples’ wedding timelines is my jam! It helps me with my other obsession: keeping my couples on task so they can make the most of their wedding day.
I actually enjoy doing laundry and always spend the first and last ten minutes of each day straightening our home and putting things in their place.
My jokingly refers to me as “The Cruise Director” because I am always planning the trips, calling the Ubers, booking the appointment, and organizing the next meal together (Basically, I'm the planning and organizing one of the bunch).
