I’m Kat, a hybrid wedding photographer with 13 years of experience in the wedding industry as a wedding and family photographer. I live a wonderfully imperfect life with the love of my life husband, our three beautiful kids, and a Goldendoodle pup named Jack (or Jacomo, if we're feeling particularly French that day). My hobbies? I'm a wannabe homesteader. I spend my "me time" with my chickens, gardening, canning, home renovation projects, and making loads of sourdough bread.
I'm blessed to live in Utah, which boasts amazing and diverse scenery for photography and recreation. I most often serve couples and families in Salt Lake City and Park City, but I love to travel to connect with new people and places. Italy, Hawaii, Ireland & Switzerland are currently highest on my list of dream locations.
Why I'm here.
When I started way back in 2012, I really didn't know that photography would become what it now is to me. My love language is service. Through this amazing job I'm blessed to not only capture memories as a form of art, but to provide my clients with an personalized, fun, and low-stress experience. I'm proud to say that my clients -- whether from a family session or a wedding day -- consistently express what a wonderful time they had, and how grateful they are that it was such a meaningful experience. The fact that I'm a hopeless romantic doesn't hurt, either.
Capturing love stories and bringing visions to life is so fulfilling.
Light. Color. Emotion.
These are just a few of the tools in a photographer's belt, but the three that I most often create with.
Light is a powerful component of storytelling. Before a session or event happens, there's preparation and communication to create the best possible lighting for your most important moments.
I'm a hybrid photographer, which means I shoot both digital and film photography. I'm talking the paper wind-up rolls of film, yes. And I edit my digital work to match film as closely as possible. The colors in film are downright dreamy, especially when it comes to skin tones. Working with this medium created a fascination and deep love for rich, bright colors and tones in my photos. Film & film emulation photos are inherently timeless, and part of the reason my clients are drawn to my work.
Emotion is by far the most powerful element to a photo. Whether working with families or couples, I foster environments where romance, play, and authenticity are welcome. I truly believe that the most meaningful photos are of moments. Pair those with vignettes of the details surrounding your session/wedding, and you have an expressive gallery that reads like a story.
"Get Kat as your photographer if you want a friend, but also someone who will go above and beyond in getting the job done!"
