Hi I'm Katey! Your storyteller behind the lens, capturing the pure magic of love against the breathtaking backdrop of the Upper Peninsula and the serene shores of Lake Superior. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for freezing those genuine moments that not only make your heart skip a beat, but will last a lifetime. Based in the enchanting Upper Peninsula, I've fallen head over heels for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From lush forests to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, every location becomes a canvas for love stories to unfold.

β€œOK... Right out of the gate, my first to do was to book my photographer. Katey was absolutely my number one go to, and I knew I had to try to get her for my wedding. From the first contact, to the end of the night and even to today she has been beyond superior. She worked so dang hard to keep us relaxed and captured everything I envisioned. She's calm, cool and collective. I can't say enough about her pictures, the way she captures the details that you wouldn't necessarily notice on your big day is incredible. I can't say enough about her and can't wait to book her for another shoot one day.”

I started my photography career back in 2010 and have captured hundreds of stories over the years. I found my true passion in intimate weddings and elopements in 2016 when I rode in a chairlift to the top of a mountain to document a small ceremony in the company of 50 of their closest family and friends, their dogs, and an aged bottle of scotch that acted as a unity candle. From that moment I decided to specialize in capturing intimate weddings and elopements in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

She attended our rehearsal to get an idea of our everything would photograph and then was at our wedding day THE ENTIRE DAY, which was amazing because she captured so many little details for us. She was like a ninja and sometimes she was at places we didn’t even know to get awesome shots. We got some of those classic/traditional wedding pictures, but Vivian also captured some non-rational pictures which we loved! She has so many ideas that were amazing! She even brought a speaker to play some music to get some even better shots! Vivian is quiet,but an amazing photographer, who does amazing work!”

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me.
