wedding photography for the offbeat bride. based in jackson hole, wy & available worldwide.

Hi there!
I started photographing weddings a few years ago and absolutely fell in love. It is so humbling to be invited to share such a personal look at one of the most amazing and unforgettable days in a person's life. I especially love weddings because there is so much going on and so much raw emotion - I'm on my toes all day, capturing it all. It's one of those jobs where you are so sore the next day but feel light as air while you're shooting. It's amazing, and I hope I get to do it for the rest of my life. I'm currently based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and am available for worldwide travel. Please with any questions you have about photography for your special day.

Lizzybelle - I don’t think I’ve ever seen wedding photos that capture my heart more than these. Katy – you are amazing…I love that you captured their kiss – something my photographer missed. Argh.

I went to OU with Larissa and Brett, I didn’t know them as much I knew many of the bmaids – gotta love OU’s Lady Braves Soccer. Great wedding shots.

Kris - I love the way you have shown the details, and how they were so carefully coordinated. It can sometimes be difficult for a guest to get the “Big Picture” until the professional photos are available. You’ve really captured the whole story.

melissa - You can see the happiness in all of these pictures…awesome!

michelle - seriously, Katy, this is one of THEE prettiest yet chil-laxed weddings i’ve seen. i LOVE this wedding. the bride is very sienna miller’esque.

GREAT photos KG!

Lacy - These pictures are incredible!!Everyone looks so happy

Courtney - Lovely! I adore these photos. And what a fun wedding!

Erin - It’s been a month since the wedding and I still can’t get over it! It was so much fun meeting you and having you capture all the glory that was Larissa’s wedding. It truly was a beautiful wedding and you captured it all perfectly

Alyssa Andrew Photography - Love love, such a pretty bride and gorgeous bridals of the two of them

Marco Island Wedding Photographer - Fabulous wedding images. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time.

thermopolis, part one

Posted in local, milo, personal

This weekend we headed up to Thermopolis, Wyoming to meet up with some friends and check out the famed mineral hot springs.

How funny that this is the view we go on vacation FROM….

Dustin & Jessica’s little girl & Milo’s betrothed, Miluše (pronounced mi-LOOSH).

It took a bit for Milo to warm up to Moo but once he did they had a great time. Miluše calls him Tiny Milo. When Jessica pointed out that they were the same size, she looked at her like she was crazy and said “I’m Tiny Miluše!”

More to come – we found a ton of great old motel signs and general awesomeness. Please feel free to tweet or share on FB and I always love the comments!

Kris - Looks like the kids had a great time getting reacquainted. Your photos make me wish we had gone to the springs when we were there.

katy - We could go in Oct when it’s not so hot – the hot water would probably feel really good then!

larissa & brett got married – part one

Posted in wedding

Larissa & Brett got married on 6/26 at Carroll College up in Helena, Montana on a beeeeee-you-teeee-ful June day completely designed for a wedding. 75 degrees, sunny, breezy, no humidity…delightful. Brett’s dad is the athletic director at the college and we basically had full run of the place – we could even get around via chauffeured golf carts. Pretty sure I just spelled ‘chauffeured’ wrong – anyone want to help me out there?

On to the photos!!!

The wedding day coincided with what was to be the USA’s final game in the World Cup. As Brett is a college soccer coach and they actually met at a soccer camp, both the bride and groom were a wee bit distracted – moreso than usual on a wedding day. Most of the bridesmaids and groomsmen are heavily into soccer as well, so during the formals iPhones were prevalent as everyone frantically checked scores.

How gorgeous is the sash on Larissa’s dress? I love the bling!

They opted to do a first look, which I LOVE. It’s a great chance for some alone time before the ceremony plus I think it really helps calm the pre-wedding jitters. AND it gives us an extra half hour or so alone for MORE PHOTOS!!!!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!

Scarlett, the adorable flower girl.

I love how this bathroom just screams “I’m a school bathroom!!!”.

Again with the bling. I love it.

Stay tuned for part two and please feel free to share on FB, Twitter, etc. and please feel free to comment!!

Milo got a hold of my chocolate milk on Sunday and would not let go. Safe to say he shares my liking for chocolatey goodness.

sharing is awesome.

Posted in local, milo, personal

A few shots of the boy from this past month.

He was having a GREAT time in the mud.

He gave me this flower and I just about cried. It was so sweet.

I love this picture – partially because he’s about to give me a kiss and partially because it looks like what he’s really doing is trying to eat my face.

Comments are ♥.

sharing is awesome.
