I'm Kate, A wedding, Elopement and family photographer based
in Hood River & Portland, OR. 

Hello, Hi.

[ what it's like to work with me  ]

I'm here to capture your intimate ceremonies, adventurous elopements, unexpected love stories and romantic portraits. I believe in inclusivity and that every couple deserves photos that celebrate their love. My biggest goal: to bring out those quiet, unexpected moments that are uniquely you. The tactic: East Coast sarcasm paired with West Coast spirit and some bad jokes to (hopefully) make you laugh.

I believe in living simply and loving deeply. That plants are the best decor and dogs are the best adventure partners. That pretty portraits are rad but so is that cute candid of grandma cheersing your best friend. Let's capture both.  

Your wedding is about you, not me. I SHOOT IN A WAY THAT LET'S YOUR DAY NATURALLY UNFOLD WITHOUT BEING INTRUSIVE. BUT I will also TELL YOU WHERE THE BEST LIGHT IS AND CAPTURE YOU FROM THE MOST FLATTERING ANGLES, promise.
