"Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain & simple. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her"
I'm going to be super vulnerable here for a minute. I don't have a sappy "I fell in love with love and taking pictures" story like a lot of other photographers. While I do love love, my why is rooted around living life to the fullest and making memories.
I've had a lot of loss in my life. From close family members to friends, And I was always drawn to the photos displayed of their lives- always so happy. Photos from their wedding day, swimming in the lake with their kids, and other various happy moments. And the weight of that hit me. My hobby was so much more than fun. It was telling the story of someone's life and capturing memories that will someday be remembered and shared with others. It was legacy.
I carry this mindset into every wedding and photography session. Knowing that someday you'll be sharing stories of this moment in time around a dinner table with your own family and friends. You'll talk about that time grandma did the chicken dance on the dance floor (literally- her request to the DJ). You'll laugh when talking about your groomsmen's speech. You'll remember when your crew of friends ordered that late night Taco Bell to the Airbnb after dancing the night away.
Your wedding day is the best day of your life together yet. It's the start of life together and someday the heirlooms of your memories will be passed down to your kids, grandkids, or nieces & nephews. Your legacy shared in the form of photos, and it all starts with your wedding day.
is to capture authentic moments of connection and tell a sentimental story in images.
Even though I'm a Port Huron wedding photographer, I have experience traveling all over Michigan. From my home area to Metro Detroit, Holland, Marquette, & more. There isn't a space in Michigan I won't work. I've even been traveling across the United States to capture weddings!
I've been professionally photographing weddings of all sizes since early 2023. Having experience in planning & photographing 70+ wedding days means I'm well versed in capturing what matters most.
I think photos deserve a life outside of your digital space. Not only do I encourage my clients to print their photos, I give them printed photos. Using my trusty Polaroid camera, I print photos for you to have immediately at the end of our time together.
I move through wedding days intentionally. Keeping a watchful eye on moments unfolding naturally, protecting your peace when needed, and giving you space to feel all the emotions.

She was so kind to direct us but also gave us room to be ourselves and it really shows in our pictures! Catie was quick to provide us our gallery and I can truly say I love all of our photos!
Wow.. Catie was not only a gem to work with but her photos captured even more than I could have imagined.
-Alexis & Dan
Catie was amazing from the start. She answered all my questions in our first email. She was professional yet easy to talk to. We did engagement & wedding day photos with her & we will be using her again!
Catie made the day so special & captured everything that was important to us. She was fantastic to work with.
-Loren & Lou
Our wedding day was chaotic, but Catie kept us on schedule & my family/friends loved her! Her photo style (light & airy) is natural & not overly color saturated! If you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!
Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain & simple. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her.

I can not say enough about Catie! From making me feel comfortable & confident at my boudoir shoot to helping keep everyone & everything on track while also photographing our wedding, she has been FANTASTIC!
I will continuously recommend this woman for anyone looking to get photos done!
I’m pretty adventurous but you’d never guess it because I live for being home & cozy. I’ve been on a helicopter & hiked a glacier in Alaska, hiked (a small) part of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and parasailed in Florida. I'm always down for an adventure, both at work & in my personal life!
I love going to concerts! A few favorites I've been to: Billy Joel, Yellowcard, Rascal Flats, & New Found Glory. My music taste is a little all over the place!
We have a tuxedo cat named Willie Nelson that we rescued. He's so incredibly loving, obsessed with chicken, & all about hunting his toy mice. He often works with me at home, snuggling next to me while I edit your photos and reminding me to take snack breaks.
I'm a fantasy book fan. My top favorite series will always be Lord of the Rings, but I also love having my heart ripped out repeatedly by reading Throne of Glass, Red Queen, and Fourth Wing.
I'm a big dreamer. My current dream, outside of being a wedding photographer, is to have a small u-cut flower field with all the colorful flowers and open a wedding venue some day.
Before photography, I was a teaching assistant for 3rd & 6th grade while in college. I absolutely adored my kids, but I pivoted after 3 years in to a business degree & obtaining my insurance license in all 50 states. My specialty was in insurance for vintage & collector cars!
