Oh where do I begin? This wasn’t just another wedding for me. This was a legacy KJ Wedding and I have been looking forward to it ever since my first email from Danny and Megan!
What does it mean to be a “Legacy” wedding? I would love to explain! I first met the beautiful Webster family a decade ago when I photographed Melissa and Aaron’s wedding day at The Clifton Inn. Then, we had the honor of capturing Dan and Melanie’s gorgeous winter wedding at the Boston Library!
This past weekend, I photographed Danny and Megan’s amazing wedding at the stunning Biltmore Estate! All three sisters were KJ Brides and I just can’t express how special that is to me. It felt like the sweetest reunion as soon as I walked into the bridal suite. Mrs. Webster hugged me as if I was a family member that she hadn’t seen in a while and the sisters and I picked up right where we left off in Boston! It felt like so much had changed and yet it also seemed like nothing had changed at all. The reality is, a pandemic happened right after Dan and Melanie’s wedding, sweet Lila looks so grown up and is four years older and Megan has found the love of her life!!
There is one other special piece to this story. ALL THREE sisters were married on Mr. and Mrs. Webster’s anniversary. I rarely book February weddings but when I do, it’s normally for a Webster sister!! :) Beautiful portraits with the Biltmore House were captured, joyful and tearful toasts were given, memories were made and Danny and Megan were married! It was all so wonderful and I’m so sad that we have like 20 years until it’s Lila’s turn!!! :) Enjoy this recap of the day!

This is going to go down as the wedding day were we got lucky over and over again. Blair and Ashley heard that there was a chance of rain on their wedding day but we all wrote it off as nothing and kept moving on with all of our original plans.
In the fast-paced world we live in, finding purpose and intention in everyday life can feel like a distant goal. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, a creative, or simply someone searching for more meaning, this probably resonates with you! If you’ve been a longtime follower of the Katelyn James podcast, you know it’s always been about authenticity, growth, and family. So, we wanted the podcast to represent just that. Welcome to Doing Life Differently!
Who doesn’t love the sparkler exit photo as the couple is sent off after their wedding?! It’s a classic! However, the traditional sparkler exit can often lead to challenges that can easily be avoided. This is where the concept of a controlled sparkler exit comes in!
It’s hard to believe that I upgraded to the Canon R6 four years ago! It’s the backbone of my photography, and while it’s been a loyal companion, I’m at a point where I have to ask: is it time for an upgrade? This question comes up a lot, especially from photographers who bought the R6 when it first launched, and many are wondering if the Canon R6MkII is worth the investment.
I am so excited to share today’s Podcast with you!! You will get to hear a powerful conversation I had with my good friend Graham Cochrane!
