wedding photography for chill vibes and fun folks

What's your story?

Your favourite photos usually have a two things in common: they tell a story and they capture an experience. YOUR story and experience.

You might be eloping under a tree in the forest, having an intimate wedding in a heritage building in Freo, or having a killer backyard wedding party with all your favourite crew. Whatever you’re doing, you want your photos to be real. Not forced or fake, imperfect in an endearing way. More meaningful. You want to remember having fun!

So, let’s snap you laughing out loud at bad jokes, feeling all loved up, looking super awkward during the serious bits, and all the other eccentric things that make you, you.

Like the sound of that? Read on!

what clients say...

I simply cannot recommend Kat enough. She was amazing at communications from when we booked in for our wedding, right up to the very day.

The entire day, she made us feel at ease whilst having such a laugh and so much fun. The pictures have come out amazing - a friend saying they are the best wedding pics she has ever seen. Thank you Kat!! If I had my wedding day again, I would book you again and again and again x

A beach wedding at 10am in February? Brave! But these two cared more about enjoying the time with their family and friends at their favourite time of day – and I’m all for couples who do what’s right for them! And how good does the ocean look in the morning? Those blues!

Post wedding portraits at the gorgeous Cottesloe Civic Gardens are so damn romantic! And then to literally drive off into the sunset in a killer convertible? So good.

I couldn’t wait to take some amazing photos in Japan, and then I randomly decided to collect photos of all the cute vending machines I came across on the way lol!!! #iykyk #japan

Another beautiful love story told at @paperbird_books with the special Book Store Elopement Package with @eddiecelebrant

With just their immediate family as witnesses and some gorgeous florals by @thefreoflorist we gathered around the books and watched these two get married. Afterwards we went for a little walk around the streets of Freo for some photos – including some silly ones – before we left them to celebrate!

When you fly from the UK to Perth to elope in summer, obviously you’re going to do it at the beach at sunset!

When I say these two had a fun wedding, I mean it was the kind of fun where hopping in a trolley for photos seemed perfectly natural. Yes it was my suggestion, and I don’t know why but I loved it!

When these two gorgeous ladies headed to Western Australia from the Eastern States to elope on the beach in summer, I couldn’t believe it when some rain clouds rolled in. Fortunately their Airbnb had the perfect Plan B spot on the balcony and we continued on, with @celebrationsbycandice taking the lead and @makeupartdirection as the fellow witness, we had so much fun! As evidenced by the smiles on their faces, they didn’t let a little rain ruin their day – and they were rewarded with an amazing sunset at the end!

Another love story told, inside the walls of a beautiful book store in Fremantle.

This is what our bookstore elopement package looks like - a special package both @eddiecelebrant and myself offer at @paperbird_books

Couples literally climb through a Narnia like wardrobe to have a private ceremony in a room full of books and then you’ve got Freo at your doorstep for celebrating afterwards – which for these two was a sneaky drink at the secret underground bar L’Chaim – which also features a secret door behind a bookcase! It was an unforgettable experience that I’m sure they’ll never forget.

Big thanks to @storystory_videography who also captured this love story on video!

Skills aside, you should really like your photographer as a person - they’re going to be with you on a really special day of your life!

So, to give you some insight on me (Kat) here’s a picture of my face (with the kind of goofy smile you’re likely to see poking out behind the camera) and here are some of my biggest values:

🤍BENEVOLENCE
I value caring for those close to me and I am very loyal and dependable. I want to create a sense of belonging and safety. I always look after people in my care – which includes couples I’m photographing!

🤍UNIVERSALISM
I am motivated by people’s welfare, the environment and an equitable world. I am driven by the greater good. This is why I am always promoting sustainable weddings and planting trees for every couple I photograph!

🤍HEDONISM
I am motivated by seeking pleasure and enjoyment – both for myself and others. For me the world is a fun place when everyone around me is having a good time, so I’ll try and bring joy to those around me.

If you’re interested in finding out your values, go check out Map of Me - that’s how I figured these out! And if I sound like someone you’d like to have on your wedding team – get in touch xo

HELLO THERE! If you’ve landed on my Insta page you might be wondering a bit more about me! Let’s start with HOW I WORK!

You may have noticed from my Instagram feed that I attract an eclectic bunch of rad couples.

I’m not interested in a perfectly matching feed, I just want to share real love stories with real people, all bringing their own unique sense of magic.

This isn’t about looking like everyone else, it’s about looking perfectly you.

You deserve someone who is going to be your cheerleader throughout the day, someone to support you, take charge if needed, and bring the good vibes.

Want to know more? Head to my website and get in touch!
