About Grace Kathryn Photography

Grace Kathryn Photography

Owner, Photographer

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

I specialize in capturing outdoor weddings, destination weddings, adventure couples, and elopements. Natural light, real moments, and emotions are my constant inspiration. My engagement and portrait shoots are laid back, relaxed, and true to you and your personalities. I have been shooting weddings for over a decade, and feel lucky and grateful to be able to do what I love and live a life full of creativity and passion. Let's shoot!

    I truly couldn't be happier to have Grace as our long-time family photographer! From our engagement and wedding to now two sessions of family photos, she has beautifully captured our family's most meaningful moments. Grace is an absolute joy to work with - she is warm, kind, and instantly familiar, like an old friend. She’s professional, punctual, and has a remarkable talent for providing just the right amount of direction to help everyone feel comfortable, while also knowing when to step back and let moments unfold naturally. Her photos are genuine works of art. They fill the walls of our home and bring us joy every single day. Grace has a rare gift for capturing emotion - you can truly feel the love and connection in every image. She preserves intimate, heartfelt moments that transport you right back to how you felt when they were taken, even years later. Grace is wonderful with all ages and has a calm, easygoing presence that puts everyone at ease. We trust her completely to preserve our sweetest memories and biggest milestones. If you're looking for someone to document your most precious moments with heart, artistry, and true talent, Grace is definitely the one!

  • WE LOOK LIKE FREAKING MOVIE STARS

    From start to finish, Grace was a calming, warm presence - the whole time we worked with her I felt like we were in excellent hands. She gently directed us without being "posed" or pushy. No notes. Like any engaged person, I felt some anxiety about photos since that's the thing that you get to actually "keep" after your big day. When I tell you, not only do we look like freaking movie stars in all Grace's photos, she PERFECTLY captured the EMOTION of the moment. If you didn't know better, you would think our wedding pictures were a People Magazine Exclusive or something. Just as valuable as the photos themselves was Grace's kind attitude and willingness to work with us on what we needed. It ended up raining on our courthouse day and she not only rolled with it, but got INCREDIBLE photos to boot! Long story short: HIRE GRACE!

    Grace Kathryn Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the start, their communication was quick, straight to the point, and always kind. The quality of their work was beautiful, and they were able to capture the personality of my husband and I perfectly. On the day of the wedding, they were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and made the whole process seamless. Shes amazing - I would highly recommend Grace Kathryn Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer to document their special day.

    Grace Kathryn Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our phone consult, her communication style was funny, laidback, and honest, which immediately put us at ease. The quality of her work was amazing - they captured all the fun and special moments of our day in a way that was both creative and helpful. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating our wedding only being a week away, and providing a quick turnaround on our photos so we could relive the day. If you have seen Friends, I am like Chandler when taking photos, but Grace made an easy process, haha. We would highly recommend Grace Kathryn Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer who will make your wedding day that much more enjoyable.
