I'm a wedding photographer based out of South Bend, Indiana.

I believe in always having a vase full of fresh flowers, especially during peony season. That ending a long day should always be on the patio, with a good book and a glass of rosé. And, going to the beach is always a good idea.

Hi, I'm
Katie

What started out as strangers, they quickly became fast friends as they cheered on the Irish in Florida for the BCS National Championship game. Like most Notre Dame fans, Lauren & Ryan leaped at the chance to heading to warmer weather celebrate their beloved Alma Mater fight for their championship title. The season was on an amazing 12-0 winning streak and the championship held promise for the team and their fans. Even though Notre Dame didn’t win the game, two people’s lives would be changed forever.

Lauren & Ryan’s passion doesn’t stop at their love of the Irish, it expands in a manner in which everyone around them feels loved, accepted, and joyful. Their energy and devotion to what they do is a testament to why they work so well together as a couple. Listening to stories throughout their wedding day, it was very clear to me that there was nothing standing in there way of always seeing the positive in every situation and showing those around them a selfless love that most dream to have as a characteristic.
