Looking for a wedding photographer can be stressful. I feel ya! You already have so many things to plan, and finding the right person can add to the chaos.
I'm here to make that part of your wedding planning super easy. During our initial talk, we'll go over what you're hoping for in terms of capturing your day. We may not be a match, and I'll be honest because I want you to have everything you want.
I specialize in small, intimate and micro weddings and elopements, usually lasting less than 6 hours. I love when everything takes place in one location so there is less running around, and of course, more time for pictures <3.

Feel free to email me at katie@katielouisephotography.com or use the contact form through the website to let me know what date you've picked for your wedding. If I'm available, we'll talk about wedding day coverage so you know all your options!
In order to reserve your date on the calendar, a $1000 +tax non-refundable retainer is due along with a signed contract.
Once you pick out your collection, I customize an online client portal for you. Through the portal, you'll be able to view and sign the contract, view and pay invoices, and fill out your wedding day questionnaire.
Once you've officially secured your wedding date, we'll pick out a date and location for your engagement session if you decide to add one on.
All engagement sessions take place outdoors and 2 hours before sunset for the prettiest light.
I LOVE engagement sessions because they are a great way for us to get to know each other. You'll be familiar with poses I might have you do on your wedding day, and I'll also know everything you're comfortable with.
What I hear most from my clients is that it was like seeing a friend again come their wedding day. That's my goal. I want you to be relaxed on your wedding day so you don't have to worry about the photos and can just enjoy yourselves!
When you book, I create an initial timeline of events based on how many hours you think you'll need. These details won't be finalized until a few months before the wedding or when you send out the invites.
It's very important when planning the start times for the ceremony and reception to leave enough time for both family formals right after the ceremony and bridal party portraits. Two hours is ideal. One hour is a MUST. These are the pictures you are going to want to use as gifts and to hang in your home. Having the ceremony and reception take place at the same location will save you tons of time.
We'll go over the timeline well in advance, and we'll also go over specific family portraits to make sure we don't leave anyone out.
We've planned as much as possible, and hopefully everything goes right. But I know from experience, that that doesn't always happen. Stay positive and focus on what matters - you're marrying your best friend today. I'm definitely used to last minute changes, so don't worry. We'll get amazing, wall-worthy photos no matter what!
The important thing is for you to have an amazing day celebrating your commitment to each other and being surrounded by your family and friends.
The day after your wedding, I'll post some sneak peeks from the day on social media, and you'll also receive a gallery with these same images.
I'll post a blog 1 week from the wedding, and you'll receive your final gallery 3-4 weeks from the wedding.
If your wedding is an elopement, you'll receive your images even sooner!
Creating an album is such a great way to have a physical representation to have out all the time as a reminder of your wedding. Guests will love to flip through it while hanging out on the couch, and one day - if you have them - your kids will love looking through and seeing the moment where their parents decided to spend the rest of their lives together.
I'm here to take all the struggles with design out of your hands. I'll create a custom look depending on how many pages you want, and all you have to do is approve ;).
