aUTHENTIC, OBSERVATORY, WITH A KEEN EYE FOR THE IN-BETWEEN

Based in Washington, DC, Katelyn serves those with an appreciation for art, film, & a little party. Katelyn is a documentary style wedding photographer who combines fine art photography with an authentic, documentary style. In addition to her spending time at home with her scottish fold kitten, Lupin; she loves to visit her grandfather on Whidbey Island, Washington often and considers Coupeville her second home. She takes any chance she gets to fly out to the West Coast, and happily considers herself a Whidbey-Island “local.”

With a skilled eye for light and portraiture, her frames capture a wedding day authentically, and true to color. She captures the imperfect, blurry moments with editorial quality; and never fails to deliver a stunning gallery. On a typical wedding day, she shoots four to five rolls of 35mm and medium format film, alongside digital and polaroids.

She photographs a variety of wedding celebrations from large multi-day events to intimate elopements across the world, always bringing an individual and artistic perspective through film and digital mediums.

With over 7 years of professional experience and with 16 years of love attributed to photography, Katelyn’s photographic journey has taken her to 13 different countries. As an avid traveler, she is available for worldwide hire; and prefers to be by the sea. She has been published in The Wedding Issue of VIPAlexandria Magazine and in the Wedding Wednesdays segment of Virginia Bride Magazine.

A brand built with love

IImages that are true to how you felt.

Last year, when I started learning film on my uncle’s 35mm manual film camera, everything clicked. Light, color, image quality, negative space, foreground, background —

it all clicked.

While it’s true, I’m still learning film and looking forward to refining my artistic preferences as my experience increases, I can tell you one thing - I’ll always be honest and kind, and your wedding gallery will always be incredible.

yet messy;

photojournalistic,

while also experimental.
