"WHAT I ADORE MOST ABOUT KAITLYN (BEYOND HER INSANE TALENT) IS THE ENERGY SHE BRINGS. SHE MADE ME FEEL SO CONFIDENT, COMFORTABLE, AND BEAUTIFUL IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. HER GUIDANCE WAS EFFORTLESS AND ENCOURAGING. SHE TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, HOW TO MOVE, HOW TO POSE, AND IT ALL FELT SO NATURAL. IT FELT LIKE I WAS HANGING OUT WITH A CLOSE FRIEND EVERY TIME I WAS WITH HER."

A MOMENT TO BREATHE

 

You’ve spent months planning every detail. By the time your wedding day gets here, you shouldn't have to spend it managing your photographer.


I'll give you direction when you need it, fix the veil, arrange the family, tell you what to do with your hands, and then get out of the way when something real is happening.


The goal is simple: you get to actually be at your wedding, and I'll make sure you remember it.

WEDDINGS ACROSS TEXAS, LOUISIANA, & BEYOND


I’m based in Bryan–College Station and photograph weddings all over Texas, from Houston and Austin to Dallas and the Hill Country, with plenty of room in my calendar for wherever else you’re headed.


Louisiana is home, and photographing weddings there will always mean a little extra to me. Beyond that, I'm happy to follow you just about anywhere. Across the country, across the ocean, wherever the good stuff is happening.

SIX YEARS. 100+ WEDDINGS. VERY FEW SURPRISES.


After six years of photographing weddings full-time and more than 100 wedding days, I've learned when to step in, when to hang back, and how to keep things moving without making your wedding feel like one long photoshoot.


And when something starts happening that wasn't on the timeline? That's usually where some of my favorite photographs begin.


You don't need to spend your wedding day wondering if we're getting everything.



I've got that part. You go get married.
