HEY, I'm Katya (KA-TEE-YEA)


To start off let me share a little bit about me.


I am of slavic heritage a mix of Ukrainian and Russian, and I'm fluent in Russian. I'm married to my soul mate, Ed, for 9 years and were parents of two little rascals. In other words I've been a bride, can multitask, and handle stress daily, ha!


At 15 years old a young lady from my church asked me to take her senior pictures and after that I believed that I could pursue photography.


At 17, I photographed my first wedding and I will forever be grateful to the couple that trusted me. In 2015 I had my photography breakthrough and went full time. Once we decided to grow our family, photography went on pause. Now that I've got kids I enjoy doing photography part-time to also take care of my family. Weddings are so special to me, though, and meeting new people is fun. I still get emotional during speeches and cry just as if we've been friends for ages.


Some favorites of mine include: hosting parties, desserts, flowers, and naps. Gosh, I love big piles of shoes by my front door because it means my home is full of friends. Full yard of cars, full heart.


My hope is to be the easiest decision you have to make in your wedding planning. Hope to hear from you and sit down to chat soon!
