"I am a 3rd generation Nantucketer, and for as long as I can remember, I've been immersed in and inspired by the natural beauty of my home island."

"We did a lot of searching and research in order to choose our photographer because it meant a lot to us that the pictures reflected us and the feeling of our wedding day. From the first phone call, we knew Katie was the one! She is an incredible person in addition to her outstanding skills as a photographer which made her so wonderful and easy to work with. She was organized, timely, intuitive, and respectful of our wishes/requests. Katie blended in seamlessly with our friends and family and in some magical way was always in the right place at the right time! Her energetic, genuine and caring personality made me feel like she was part of our family as she documented us 'getting ready' and I believe this is what enables her to capture such candid, emotional pictures where I can look back and really remember exactly how I was feeling in the moment! She was so respectful of our wish to maximize our reception time with our guests, that she seamlessly planned when, where, and how to capture (AMAZING!) pictures of Ryan and I just after the ceremony. It was completely comfortable (as normally I am a bit camera shy!) I seriously can't stop looking at her photos! Katie is the most perfect balance between personal and professional which is a dream come true. She also knows Nantucket like the back of her hand which made for beautiful pictures in places that I would not have known about. I will certainly be calling up Katie for all future life photo ops based on the incredible experience that Ryan and I had with her on our special day. I truly feel like I get to 're-live' that day by looking through our photos, which is a dream come true!"
I believe the best photos grow from a place of trust and genuine warmth. That’s why I keep my process deeply personal and
hand-crafted, no shortcuts - just me, fully invested in your story. The trust that forms with my clients creates a comfortable setting that allows me to capture the meaningful moments that make your life so beautiful.
Katie enrolled at The New England School of Photography in 2009 and spent the next two years studying Photojournalism and Wedding Photography. Now, with a career spanning over fifteen years, she has developed an intuitive approach to storytelling that honors the raw, unscripted beauty of the human experience.
Katie’s photography journey began long before her formal education; she spent her youth documenting life on Nantucket, chasing the golden light of coastal sunsets, days spent on the horse farm, and adventures aboard her father’s fishing boat. Today Katie lives full time on Nantucket with her husband Evan, their children Millie and Archie, and their rescue pup, Ziggy.
On your wedding day, Katie maintains a calm, supportive, and unobtrusive presence. Her philosophy is to honor the intentional flow of your celebration, allowing moments to unfold naturally so you remain fully present and enjoy the celebration. Katie approaches every portrait session, engagement, and wedding not simply as a booking, but as a unique artistic endeavor. She believes that her photography is only one facet of her work; equally vital is the genuine, enduring relationship she builds with her clients.
In addition to her professional career as a Wedding and Portrait Photographer, Katie has always been passionate about using her photography to tell the stories of many deserving organizations that are near and dear to her heart. She has worked with and volunteered for countless Non-Profit Organizations on Nantucket and around the world. Some of the organizations have included the Nantucket Island Safe Harbor for Animals, Project Have Hope in Uganda, Marion Therapeutic Riding Association, The Egan Maritime Institute and many others. Here is a sampling of her work from various projects. If you or your organization has a story to tell please contact Katie. She would love to collaborate and talk more about your cause.
"Working with so many wonderful organizations over the years has been an absolute honor.I'm forever grateful to help tell these important stories."
The wedding pictures absolutely take my breath away. They are not only stunning, but they encompass all the emotions we were feeling. From my first look with dad, to standing on the altar exchanging vows, we relive every feeling we felt through what she captured."
