MEET
the ARTIST
constantly pinching myself For having the honor of capturing your most incredible celebration with the people who make your world spin round.
Because I have stood where you're standing. I wore the dress that made a tear creep down my dad's cheek. My feet ached from dancing at the end of the night. I belly laughed harder with my husband Tyler than ever before. 12 years later, our wedding is still hands down the BEST day of our lives. Now it's your turn... and I'm ready to welcome you to the Ride or Dye Family and cheer you on every step of the way.

My Approach
Always looking for that glowy light, and mixing the spontaneity of candid moments you'll cherish along with gentle guidance for those scroll stopping portraits you're going to want too. Oh and let's have some freaking fun, shall we? Life's too short to be taking it too seriously.
My Story
Cliff notes version: Jersey girl (And proud of it.) Virginia Tech grad (Go Hokies.) College sweetheart married (Ty Dye is MY Ride or Dye.) Former second grade teacher (I can handle your groomsmen–TRUST.) Postpartum depression survivor (all worth it for my Hudson, Beckham, and Sloane.) Picked up a camera (bet on myself.) Never looked back (never will.) Probably listening to Taylor Swift right now (Alexa, play TTPD.)
My Promise
Cross my heart to pour myself into your wedding day. To create an unforgettable experience. To capture the squeals of laughter, but also those in between tender moments. I'll carry and fluff that gorgeous train, fix a rogue flyaway, and make sure tissues are nearby. On a day that goes by too fast, I'll help you relax, feel like the best version of yourself, be present, and of course, have the time of your life.
“It's obvious Kate is insanely talented, but also she is so amazing to work with We cannot recommend her enough. ”

“I knew immediately Kate would fit in with us.
She is family now and was the best thing to happen to us during wedding planning.”
