About · katrinscanon

Hi, I'm Kate.

I'm a wedding and couples photographer based in Northern California.

I grew up rewatching the same movies over and over with my mom. Pride & Prejudice, Little Women, The Notebook — stories where the smallest moments somehow said the most. I think that's where my love for photography started, long before I ever picked up a camera.

For a long time, I thought I wanted to make films.

Photography ended up being my version of that. Every wedding, every session feels like a chance to tell a story — not through dialogue, but through glances, movement, light, and all the little things people don't always notice in the moment.

I'm not looking for perfect. I'm looking for the photos that make you feel something years later. The ones that feel like memories.

How I shoot

Three things that shape every frame.

01 · Cinematic

I grew up watching stories that made ordinary moments feel unforgettable.

That’s still how I photograph today — chasing feeling first, and letting everything else follow.

02 · Intentional

Nothing is rushed.

I’ll guide you when needed, but never interrupt what’s already there. The best moments happen when there’s room for both — direction and spontaneity.

03 · Personal

The way you laugh together. The way you reach for each other. The little things nobody else notices.

That’s what I’m looking for.

One more thing

I don't do this alone. My husband Herman shoots alongside me on wedding days and helps keep this little business running behind the scenes. While I'm photographing, he's often with the groom, documenting the other side of the story. And when we're not shooting, he's usually helping with the countless little things that keep everything moving. This studio may have my name on it, but it's very much built by both of us.

Let's create your film.

Every couple I work with gets my full attention — from the first email through the final gallery.
