Hey, I'm Katie!

I've been serving luxury wedding clients for a half a decade now and can't seem to get enough. There is just something I thrive on when it comes to coordinating a smooth timeline, being quietly involved in all the events & moments of the day, and building my couple's confidence so they enjoy portraits.

Through combining traditional portraits, with editorial posing, and leaving space in a prompt for natural emotion is what allows me to create my signature style and experience. I'm here to provide you a luxury experience from consultation to delivery of your gallery.

And when it's all said and done, you'll be able to re-experience your wedding day as you originally felt it.

To me, your wedding day is more than photos. It's about how you felt when your spouse saw you for the first time that day, and when you took your first dance as husband & wife. How you both partied the night away on the dance floor surrounded by people who loved you and celebrated you. So, I'm not just taking photos, I'm quite literally documenting your memories in a way that will allow you to re-live and re-experience your day over and over again. That's why at In The Fire Photo, I document your day with intentionality. I want your album to be an authentic reflection of your wedding day filled with your favorite people, details, drinks, dance-moves and everything in between.

Katie was efficient and organized. She was friendly to work with and very passionate about her work. The most helpful part was her coordinating how to pose and being so encouraging and supportive. She helps you feel more natural in front of the camera.

Katie had ideas for unique shots that I've not seen from other wedding photographers. The under the veil and exit shots were fun and unique. Her overall style stands out from other wedding photographers.

Beyond amazing! Katie was so kind, creative, and accommodating! All the way from the start of booking to the end of the wedding! My family members and bridal party raved at how nice, organized, and quick she was!

On my wedding day the weather was far from good and Katie did so well working with me to determine what was specifically important to me and finding a way to make it work even with the weather. At no point did she make me feel disrespected when I said anything like "hey I really want to take pictures outside even though it’s pouring." She simply said well let’s find a way to make that work.

I really enjoyed Katie’s energy especially on such a hectic day. From the start I could feel she was on my side and there to support me in any way necessary to make my day perfect. She captured the most special moments and emotions and was always ready whenever we needed to have her catch a quick moment.
