Where the sun lingers the longest, the cliffs stand proud, and where lovers go to steal romantic glances...
Mendocino, California has an irreplaceable hold on my heart. The air just hits different - something about the dramatic cliffside, the early morning fog, and the dramatic salty winds inspire me like nothing else can. It captures my entire attention, making me forget the rest of the world exists. It slows me down from the busy, chaotic, rush of life and allows me and my creativity to breath. It is truly my favorite place in the entire world.
My devotion is exactly why this page exists. If I only documented weddings on this magical Northern California Coast ever again, I would be living the dream.
If you are envisioning your wedding day here, I would be honored to be part of your story. I know the microclimate of Mendocino well; including some of the prettiest little corners - ones that feel intimate and private just for you - and I would love to share them with you.
Let's start planning your dream day together.
Preserving love stories exactly how they unfold - nothing is staged , everything is felt.
Good people and good locations make extraordinary photos.
One of the most important decisions couples make when planning their wedding day? The importance of the venue.
Your photos are a reflection your day and can only be as breathtaking as the setting itself. I might be biased, but the dramatic coastline of Mendocino is timeless and stunning in unbeatable ways.
So choose the coastline. Choose the cliffs and the ocean air and the golden light.
And let me be there to document it, because there's nothing I love more.
The photographer:
I believe that no couple should have to exchange genuine presence for beautiful photographs. In fact, I believe those emotional moments are what create the most beautiful photographs. Your wedding day is about connection, not performance.
It is easy for a wedding day to become overwhelmed by the logistics until the joys get lost in the schedule. So how do you have both - a day that feels unhurried and beautiful photos that you'll treasure forever?
That's where I come in.
My shooting style balances the artistry of editorial, guided posing with the quiet disciple of stepping back - giving space for you to live out your day. No posed photo is ever more valuable than being present and I am deeply intentional about protecting those unguarded moments as they happen.
kind words:
"Kait was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From our very first email exchange, Kait made me feel so special and supported! Her communication, in general, is prompt, upbeat and incredibly helpful as you plan. Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours! We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Kait's work, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, caring photographer who is truly dedicated to making their wedding day unforgettable."
