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

On a warm summer day in South Bend, two people were surrounded by their favorite people as they prepared to meet one another at the altar. She had 11 of her favorite ladies and their mothers accompanying her while she got ready for the happiest day of her life. He had 12 of the coolest guys and their fathers rallying around him to make sure he got to the church on time while looking his most dapper. This is how Ashley & Andy started their wedding day.

Andy’s reaction to seeing Ashley was breathtaking. He was so stunning by her radiating beauty that you could see this look in his eyes that I can only describe as “that’s my bride”.

Their balloon exit was a first for me, but I think this is probably one of my favorite exits I’ve seen.

I just adore Poppies by Polly and all of the floral that she dose for our brides.

Ashley wanted greenery around campus, so….my “California tree” was a must for her photos.

I loved that Ashley surprised her mom with a mother-daughter dance. Barb was absolutely glowing with happiness all day so I was happy they got to dance together.
