  • “Kaitlin could not have been a better fit for us on our wedding day. She has such a calming presence that made getting all the photos done absolutely effortless. I truly felt at home with her and her team the entire day. Not to mention I was blown away by the sneak peek she sent to me. Everyone was raving about her work and I could not be happier with the decision I made to have her be apart of our big day. If you’re looking for a creative and beautiful soul/spirit— look no further”

  • "From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, organized, and thoughtful. Her kindness and flexibility made the entire experience feel effortless, even when things got hectic. She took the time to really understand the style of photography that resonated with us, and she delivered beyond our expectations."

    - The Nickels, 7.5.2025

  • "On our wedding day, she was calm, efficient, professional, and organized. We both felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and she helped us keep things moving to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. She helped guide us through some light posing without feeling corny or awkward. She and her assistants were present for all the big moments, but never felt intrusive - it all felt incredibly natural as they documented our day. I had several guests and family members share how impressed they were with her operation."

    - The Bollingers, 10.3.2025

  • "We were so happy with our experience and would recommend her to anyone looking to capture their most important moments on camera. Kaitlin’s ability to make us feel so comfortable, her professional photography skills, and her warm & friendly personality is what sets her apart!"

Wedding ceremony outdoors with a bride in a white wedding dress, groom in black tuxedo, and wedding party. The bride and groom are exchanging flowers, surrounded by floral arrangements and seated guests, under string lights and trees.

Photography that feels effortless—because nothing is left to chance.

This experience is intentionally designed for couples who expect a high level of professionalism, discretion, and artistic consistency.

What defines my work:

  • A calm, confident presence throughout the entire wedding day

  • Editorial composition without sacrificing real moments

  • Seamless collaboration with planners and creative partners

  • A polished, cohesive gallery from start to finish

Couples who work with me are investing in more than coverage—they are investing in experience, intention, and legacy.

My approach blends:

  • Editorial direction - refined posing, clean lines, intentional light

  • Documentary awareness - unscripted emotion, quiet moments, honest connection

This balance allows your wedding photographs to feel elevated, not trendy or forced.

I photograph weddings throughout Orange County, Southern California, and select destination locations.
