HI, I'M KATE & i'm so glad you're here! 

I'm a documentary-style wedding & elopement photographer based in Tennessee.  I love taking ordinary couples from all walks of life and showing them how beautiful they are. 

Voted top 5% of wedding professionals for 2018 by weddingwire

THE WHY:

I believe your face should be sore from laughing with your people, not from taking posed pictures all day. 

I believe in storytelling moments over picturesque mountains and strict timelines; in the power of genuine expressions and tiny gestures over perfectly-placed hands and stiff poses.

And most of all, I believe you deserve a photographer who gives a damn. 
So if any of this resonates with you, let's be friends

Just can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I adore, admire and respect these two incredible humans. The amount of love surrounding them was almost tangible and my heart is still so full just from witnessing it, so I can only imagine how these two feel reveling in all the leftover happiness from last Friday 💕

And that’s a wrap folks, @rachcatcrimms and @chriscrimmins are married! And riding out in style in the vintage Land Rover he’s been working on for so long. The same Land Rover that was cause for him to fly to London for parts years ago. And who else was in London at the same time? Rachel. Having previously dated some 14 years ago he reached out to meet up with her and her then boyfriend to catch up. As the stars would have it, that guy had *just* broken up with her. The rest is history, and damn what a beautiful love story for such INCREDIBLE humans. I am truly so very honored to have been the one who got to document their big day 💕💕

Post ceremony, partaking in an old Southern tradition to pass around a bottle of whiskey, pour one out for souls passed and then bury the bottle under a nearby tree.
