Capturing the sacred beauty of your sacrament.
For THE Catholic couple
I’m here to document your wedding not just as a photographer, but as a fellow, faithful Catholic who prays with you and for you. I don’t simply witness your Mass from behind the lens—I enter into it with reverence, joining you in prayer as you receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
who longs for wedding photos that reflect the sacredness of the Mass and the beauty of the Church,
you’re in the right place.
“Love is a mystery that transforms everything it touches into things beautiful and pleasing to God.”
-St. Faustina
When you hire a Catholic photographer,
you don't just get beautiful & reverent photographs, you also get to work with someone who prays with you, rejoices with you, and honors the holiness of what you’re stepping into.
As a Catholic photographer, I understand the liturgy and the reverence it calls for. I know when to quietly capture the profound moments—your exchange of vows, the consecration, your first prayer as husband and wife—without ever disrupting the sacred. I don’t simply witness your Mass from behind the lens; I enter into it with you, heart and soul.
My goal is to preserve your wedding day in a way that reflects not only its beauty and joy, but the deep, eternal love you’ve been called to—a love that mirrors Christ and His Church, and points to heaven.
Your Nuptial Mass is the most important part of your wedding day—the moment heaven meets earth, and the moment you two will enter into the Sacramental bond of Matrimony and be filled with the grace that God pours out in this beautiful sacrament.
Why hire a catholic photographer?
"Having a Catholic photographer is a MUST. As a devout Catholic herself, Mary Kate was able to capture the most beautiful parts of the sacrament."

alternatives to the first look
Many of my Catholic couples opt out of doing a First Look. However, many still want to do something together before their Wedding Mass. Here are some beautiful alternatives that allow you to connect and pray together before the Mass!
01.
Pray Together Before Your Ceremony
Share a quiet moment of prayer together before the Mass—back-to-back in the church, seated with eyes closed, or even holding hands around a corner or door. It’s a tender, sacred way to calm your nerves, share a moment together alone, and prepare your hearts for the sacrament you are about to enter into!

Exchange Letters Together
Write letters to one another and read them privately (either out loud or in silence) while sitting back-to-back or standing on either side of a doorway. It's a beautiful moment of connection that gives you a moment alone before you publicly declare your love.

Share a First Touch
Hold hands around a door frame or at a corner to share a gentle moment together. This can be a simple and short as 5 minutes shortly before your Mass begins but it can be huge for calming your nerves and giving you a small chance to connect before the Ceremony begins.

Set Aside A Longer Time for Prayer
Some couples choose to carve out 30–40 minutes before the ceremony to pray a rosary together, visit a Eucharistic chapel, or even spend time in a private Holy Hour. Whether in the church or a side chapel, this time can be a powerful way to prepare spiritually for the sacrament you're about to enter.
