My love for photography began with disposable cameras and film rolls I begged my parents to develop — what started as childhood curiosity became a lifelong calling: to preserve emotion in its most raw and beautiful form.
Today, I document weddings across Texas and beyond for couples who want more than stiff poses or picture-perfect trends. My work is rooted in truthful storytelling and softened through an artful, intentional lens. I guide you with calm presence so you can feel like yourself — not just for the camera, but for every moment that matters.
You won't remember every detail of the day — but you'll remember how it felt. That's what l'm here to bottle up for you.
BEHIND THE LENS
MEET THE STORYTELLER
I'm katelyn, i'm so honored you're here!
You blink, and your wedding day is already a memory.
But your photos — they're the legacy.
I believe in creating a photography experience where you feel seen, safe, and celebrated. Where you can be fully present in your day, while I preserve the moments you didn't even know were happening: your partner's teary smile during vows, your grandmother's hands clutching your bouquet, the way your friends danced like no one was watching.
My couples aren't looking for perfection.
They want photographs that feel like them - unfiltered, elegant, and emotionally real.
My style is rooted in intention, guided by feeling, and created for generations. These aren't just images — they're heirlooms.
and the intention behind every frame
My why
On your wedding day, you’ll notice Jay right away — the steady, easygoing presence who somehow manages to be everywhere without ever being in the way. He’s my husband, second shooter, and the creative mind behind our Super 8 films, always looking for those raw, unplanned moments that make your day truly yours.
Jay has a gift for reading a room — knowing when to step in and when to quietly observe — which is why so many couples tell us they felt instantly comfortable around him. He’s naturally curious, quick with a joke, and the kind of person who remembers your guests’ names before the night is over.
When he’s not filming or photographing, you’ll probably find him with a good cup of coffee in hand, planning our next trip, watching a Red Sox game, or spoiling our pets. He loves great music, late-night editing sessions, and seeing the look on a couple’s face when they watch their wedding film for the first time. He’s the calm before the whirlwind, the one I trust most behind the lens, and the reason so many of our couples walk away saying, “We couldn’t imagine our wedding without him."

meet Jay
For us, working together isn’t just about having an extra set of hands; it’s about blending two perspectives into one seamless story. I bring my love for intentional composition, quiet candids, and timeless imagery. Jay brings a natural ease to every room, an ability to connect with anyone, and the kind of humor that instantly puts people at ease. Together, we create an environment where you can truly be yourselves — so the photographs feel as genuine as the moments they hold.
We believe your wedding day should be lived fully, not staged endlessly. That’s why our approach is a blend of documentary storytelling and refined editorial details — the laughter, the tears, the fleeting glances — captured with care so you can relive them for decades to come.

This is such an important topic! I keep your memories safe from shooting to delivery through a meticulous, detailed process.

Then, your photos are stored after delivery in a fireproof safe box forever.
