Set against the perfect backdrop at The Rustic Venues, their day felt joyful, intentional, and full of so much love. These two share such a genuine love rooted in kindness, respect, and caring deeply for one another, and it was so special to witness as they promised forever surrounded by their favorite people.
Celebrating alongside the Broughtons and capturing the beginning of this next chapter was such an honor, and I already know this is only the sweetest start to their marriage!
Marina and Zach’s spring wedding day was a beautiful start to their marriage.

Over the last 15 years of documenting my couples on the best day of their lives, I’ve met so many amazing people who quickly turned into friends. I hope that can be our story, too.
On the rare occasion that I’m not capturing a special moment, you can catch me spending my time with an incredible man who makes me laugh until I cry. I also tend to believe that a house is not a home until paw prints paint the floors. And admittedly, I cry at most movies, especially the romantic ones. Editing days consist of Dr. Pepper and take-out, while days off require country drives and visiting local wineries to listen to live music and take in a golden sunset. Hands down, it’s one of the best parts about Central Illinois.
A photographer who’s passionate about natural light, making sure my couples feel cared for, iced white mochas, and my boys Dustin, Murphy, and Auggie.
Hey, I’m Kate!
