Ben & Bekah | A Wedding

Katelyn — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:58:30 +0000

I love those childhood friends, who are like sisters, even if you don’t see each other for years. A few weeks ago, I traveled up to Idaho to be reunited with just such friends – Bekah and Bethany. It had been three years since we’d last seen each other, and now I was meeting Bekah’s fiancé, Ben, and preparing to photograph their wedding, all the while trying to catch up on the past three years.

It was a joy and an honour to photograph their wedding day, and I could not be happier about the groom Bekah chose. It’s impossible not to see the joy and comfort they have in each other’s love. Ben is also an incredible photographer; one of his photos was just published on the cover of Climbing magazine, which you can see here. You can check out the rest of his work here.

The wedding day was a beautiful spring day, the clouds parting just in time for the wedding. Bekah and Ben were the most relaxed couple I’ve ever seen on their wedding day. I showed up at Bekah’s apartment in the morning to find her, the bride, perfectly calm and doing everyone else’s hair. Quite amazing. Ben and Bekah knew how to let go and just fully enjoy their day however it unfolded, and so it was a day filled with joy, celebration, laughter, dancing, family, friends, and lots of fun.

I so enjoyed being a part of this day and this celebration. Ben and Bekah have surrounded themselves with amazing people who are an absolute joy to be around. I love you both and wish you all the best as you begin your married life together.

Enjoy the photos!

Summertime Updates

Katelyn — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:59:09 +0000

Summertime is here! I love that the sun has finally decided to stay out, that when I step outside I’m greeted by a nice warm breeze blowing through the valley and rustling the leaves which have filled the once barren trees. It’s wonderful to see the warm summer light dancing on everything it meets.

As it’s summertime, and I can focus more on photography, I realized it was time for a little update.

Location:
I’m back in Medford, OR for the summer. I’ll be here through the end of August before heading back up to BC for another year of school.

Booking:
I still have openings for weddings and portrait sessions this summer. If you are interested, shoot me an email! As always, I love to travel for shoots.

The Lovely Ladies of 4X | Portraits

Katelyn — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 01:01:43 +0000

One chilly Saturday morning in January, I headed out with my girls (minus one) for a photo shoot. I love all of these girls dearly, have been so blessed by living with them this year, and cannot imagine not having them in my life even though just six months ago, I didn’t. They are all so beautiful with big hearts for the Lord. I had a grand time gallivanting around Fort Langley with them for a couple hours capturing them.

And so, without further ado, the lovely ladies of 4X:

Bri

Taryn

Alicia

Maryke

Jillian

Rachel

Tara

Mikaela

Katrina

They snapped a few shots of me.

Kathleen

Jenna

Lian

And the result of having some fun with a tripod and self-timer. :)

Russ & Samantha

Katelyn — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:04:35 +0000

Despite the frigid December weather, I recently met up with Samantha and Russ for a shoot in Ashland. They are such a sweet couple and still so much in love; I immediately felt at home with them. We had a wonderful time gallivanting around Ashland, and since Samantha is a very talented interior designer and wedding coordinator, we decided to grab a few shots of just her for her business. I had the privilege of working with Samantha at Zeph and Lindsay’s wedding last summer; she did a phenomenal job and is an absolute joy to work with, so if you are looking for a wedding coordinator or interior designer, I highly recommend her! Samantha and Russ, it was such a pleasure to photograph you and I hope you are as happy with the photos as I am!

Noel | Portraits

Katelyn — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:11:44 +0000

The other week I had the pleasure of shooting Noel’s senior photos. We braved the cold in Jacksonville, with a few stops in a coffee shop to warm up before going out again. It was such a fun shoot, and I love how the photos turned out! Noel is an all-around wonderful guy with a hilarious sense of humor, which always makes for a fun shoot and great photos.

Enjoy!

Kimberly | Portraits

Katelyn — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:52:31 +0000

Earlier this summer, I went out for a photo shoot with my dear friend, Kimberly. I called her up one day explaining that I needed a fun shoot. One where I could just go out, experiment, try new things, and just have fun without any pressure. So early one cloudy Friday morning we hopped in my car and drove off to Ashland without the slightest clue as to where we’d end up. Along our journey and after driving in circles a few times trying to find a place to shoot, we discovered this fun little location. And so out we hopped and had a grand time! I absolutely love how the photos turned out. Kim was a most fabulous model and was up for absolutely everything. It was so fun to create with her, bounce ideas around, and to just shoot for myself and shoot for fun. (Something I’ve decided I need to do more of in order to keep growing as an artist. :) And so I’ve rambled long enough and will let the photos tell the tale of our fun shoot for themselves…

David & Julie | A Wedding

Katelyn — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:20:18 +0000

Surrounded by their family and friends, David and Julie pledged their love on a beautiful July day filled with laughter, dancing, singing, celebration, and excitement. It was impossible to miss the depth and strength of David and Julie’s love and commitment as their joy brought excitement to every moment. David and Julie, thank you so much for making me a part of this special day. It was truly a joy to document your love.

Enjoy!

Matt & Christy | A Wedding

Katelyn — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 17:14:13 +0000

Matt and Christy were married at the beautiful Zenith Vineyards in Salem. Their family and friends came from far and wide to be with them in celebration on this special day as Matt and Christy began their new journey as husband and wife. It was a beautiful, joyous day filled with laughter, celebration, and lots of dancing.

Enjoy!

Zeph & Lindsay | A Wedding

Katelyn — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 01:16:07 +0000

On a hot summer evening, Zeph and Lindsay pledged their love and commitment and became Mr. & Mrs. Emmons. It was a joyous day full of laughter, hugs, kisses, hay, carriage rides, tears, delicious food, ice cream, and lots of dancing. I had a wonderful time documenting this special day for my dear friends and could not be happier for them. There are so many things I could say about this day, but I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves…
