I'm a Portland wedding photographer and I'm extremely passionate about people and art. I believe that we wouldn't be who we are today without the support of our family and friends. To me, one of the BEST parts about a wedding is celebrating with the people you love most in the world. I love documenting candid, playful moments between best friends, family members, and of course, the two of you.
I also love making art - I want to create powerful, artistic imagery that's anything but boring. To me, it's not about outdoor weddings vs indoor weddings, big weddings vs small weddings, it's ALL about the people. I love documenting bold weddings in vibrant places with welcoming people who want to have one heck of a good time. Nodding your head in agreement?
Besides deciding to marry my husband, having Katy as our photographer might have been the best decision of my life! The love and warmth she exudes in person are just as intense and amazing as the love and warmth she captures. Any anxieties you may have about being photographed, or about your wedding in general, are completely eased when Katy enters the picture.

Whether it's just you, me and your dog, or 300 of your closest friends, I'm game.
I love getting to witness a love story and meet all the incredible people who have been a part of it along the way.
I love the big show-stopping moments and the quiet, intimate ones too.
I'm not afraid to hike through the mud with you to find the perfect elopement spot in a forest, or break it down on the dance floor with your aunts, uncles, and drunk friends from college.
I love the energy of people and the outdoors and the way that love brings it all together.

As a bride myself, I've been through this struggle.
My husband and I originally planned our outdoor wedding on private property, but due to logistics the plans fell through.
I found myself having to dig through pages and pages of internet articles looking for the perfect Oregon wedding venue and it was ROUGH.
But we found one.
We had to change our wedding date, but we made it work and we were SOOO happy with how it turned out!
The crazy thing is that I've been a Portland wedding photographer for 12 years now and I STILL had a really, really tough time looking for a Portland wedding venue.

Taking couples photos is SO MUCH FUN.
Seriously.
I absolutely love to turn my engagement sessions and couples shoots into half-day adventures to rugged, beautiful locations.
Think of it as an epic day spent making memories with your love - hiking, laughing, even popping a bottle of champagne in the woods - just with a photographer there to join you!
Not into nature?
Let's curl up in your cozy home and take photos with your pets, your plants, and the art that feels like YOU.
It's such a fun way to document who you really are together in your own space.

Choosing engagement photo outfits is ROUGH.
I know this because I've taken engagement photos with my fiance before and I bought about 40 different dresses online before settling on two to keep.
Not an easy task.
Here are some tips to help!
Flatter your body type.
They show off the parts you love (cool tattoos!) or hide places that make you self-conscious (like upper arms).
If you have a part of your body you don't love, or it's something you always notice in photographs, don't wear clothes that exascerbate it!

I've lived in Portland since I was 6 years old and I have loved getting to explore SO many beautiful places around the city!
There are SO many beautiful Portland engagement photo locations!
We all have places in our lives that make us feel relaxed and at peace, or places that hold special memories and meaning.
Choose a place for your photos that feels like YOU.
I usually tell my couples to either find a place that is special to them and their relationship, OR pick a spot you've always wanted to explore together, then make some new memories there during our shoot!
