I love your outlook on wedding photography. I always remind myself that even though I have heard the YMCA dance 4 times that month at a reception that this is a once in a lifetime event for these people and if someone attends a wedding every three or fours years they are lucky! For the bride and groom it’s their one day in a lifetime. If you look at the day through their eyes you open yourself up to fabulous pictures.

Bridget - Ohhhh, Katelyn, Katelyn.. I sure hope you have given Jess your secret Ninja skills to keep MR in check
I wish you all the best in your journey ahead, my dear! Muah!!
Margaret and Mary - We hope nothing but the best for you Katelyn!
Danni Schulta - Katelyn- wanted to let you know how happy we are that you were part of our day. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
Katelyn - Ahhh the slideshow made me laugh! Wow I had forgotten about so many of those. What a great time. Yes, I do believe I may have been the culprit of the ninja wars, but you definitely should take credit of coining us as “ninjas”
. What a great few years! I have taken so much from working with you and I have a new way to see the world from you. I can’t thank you enough. And of course I’ll be back so you can hate on me (and vice versa). You are missed! Jess too! I am truly honored you took the time to write this.
Katelyn - And thank you Danni, Bridget, Margaret and Mary!! It has been wonderful working with you all in one way or another
Taryn DeGrush - Katelyn – I am so glad that I got the chance to meet you and work with you on our wedding day. You have such a creative eye when it comes to photography. One of my favorite photos from our wedding was my shoe on the pumpkin! I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck and you will be missed!
Patty Sharick - Don’t know you personally, wished I did, but love what you did with Mark. Hope it goes well for you in the future!
Sara O'Neal - Katelyn, You were such a wonderful part of our wedding day… I hope you know that! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories. I wish you the very best as you enter a new world of possibilities
Sara and Ben
Amy Scionti - Thanks Kately, for being there to catch personal moments as I and my girls were getting ready for Marty and my wedding. These are priceless memories.
Take care and God bless.
Amy
