hey friends, i'm katelyn

Wow! Just wait until you see this one! It’s vibrant, romantic and full of just about everything that makes gorgeous photos! The colors, the couple the setting, the light. It was a dream day!

You may remember Tiffany and Eddy from their SCOTLAND engagement session back in the spring. I knew as soon as Tiffany emailed and said that they would fly to Scotland for their session that they were the epitome of an amazing KJ Couple! I was right. They are simply the best. Tiffany is a planner and so detail oriented. She wins the award for the bride with the most well-thought-out plans but you know what was amazing? Despite all of her planning, she trusted me 100% on her day. There is literally no greater gift to give a photographer than to say “I know whatever you create is what I want!”.  I feel like I hit the client jackpot here!!!

So a few days before the big day, the forecast wasn’t looking great. There was rain looming and it made everyone a little nervous. Fast forward to Saturday and it’s wedding time!! It was PERFECT outside. It was supposed to be cold and it was warm. It was supposed to be raining and it was sunny. It was supposed to be a complicated day full of checking the radar and making last minute pivots and instead, it was perfection.

Tiffany and Eddy made us smile, laugh, and remember why wedding days are so joyful. These two were made for each other and that was evident in how they basically wrote the SAME VOWS without even knowing it. The same inside jokes, the same memories, the same promises…. it was truly amazing to see how they are clearly soulmates. And the best part? I got to capture it all and meet their friends and family. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and loved!!! We were sad to leave and fly back to the other side of the country but California, you treated us well!!!

Enjoy these favorites!!! Eddy and Tiffany, you are truly the best and it was an HONOR to have you as our final KJ Couple for 2023!!!!!
