Picture the moment your person sees you for the first time, the wind catching your veil on a Sawtooth ridgeline, your grandma laughing so hard she has to sit down. Those are the moments I live for. I’m Katy, an empathetic Idaho wedding photographer creating artful, story-driven images for couples who want to slow down and feel everything, from Boise, Stanley, and McCall to far beyond.
I believe the most meaningful wedding photos come from truly being seen, not just the two of you but your people and your whole story. My job is to make you feel safe to be exactly who you are, so you can experience your wedding instead of performing it. I anticipate emotion before it unfolds and walk beside you through every step of planning, keeping your day grounded and unforgettable.
Creatively, this is where I get giddy. I love dreamy motion blur that captures how the dance floor actually felt, double exposures that weave your story into the landscape, reflections in still alpine lakes, and light bent through prisms. About half of what I deliver is black and white, timeless and cinematic, like stills from a film about your life. Every gallery is made to bring you back to how your day felt.
I take only one wedding per weekend, so you get all of me. Whether you’re dreaming of a mountaintop elopement or a backyard celebration with everyone you love, I’d love to hear all about it.
