I’m so excited you’re here!

I’m Kaitlin – a wedding photographer, digital marketer, and a lover of drinking multiple cups of black coffee every day, wearing flip flops almost every day, and adventuring to Disneyland much more than I’d like to admit. :)

Where I Started

So, a bit about me! 

I’ve been shooting weddings and doing photography for over a decade. I started my photography business at the tail end of college in 2012. It’s been a blast, and I’ve had the privilege of getting to serve so many wonderful couples on their wedding days!

Disclaimer: I love to work and stay busy (seriously, in college, I had a full class schedule, an internship, 2 jobs, babysat, and still managed to have a social life!). While I’ve debated solely focusing on my wedding photography business over the years, I like the idea of diversifying my income, especially when my business was just starting out.

I worked at a photo editing company for about 6 years, while also running my photo business. During this time, I worked alongside one of the co-founders of the photo editing company and built the marketing department from the ground up. I realized I loved marketing, building out processes, and analyzing data (nerdy, I know)!

I still enjoyed photography, but what I enjoyed more was the balance between photography and building out marketing processes. Photography became my creative outlet, while marketing allowed me to deep dive data and create structured systems. 

What I’m Doing Now

This led me to become a Co Founder of 201 Creative, a digital marketing agency. From there, my business partner and I also created Weekend Growth, which helps people build, grow, and make a profit from their online side hustle projects.

Needless to say, I still keep busy! :)

While I don’t shoot weddings as much now, I have a decade of knowledge about the wedding industry and understand what couples go through leading up to the wedding day. Plus, in 2021, I got married and when through the entire process firsthand (not to mention, we basically re-planned and re-scheduled our entire wedding due to the pandemic… thanks Covid). 

Because of all of that, I’ve started shifting this site into an educational space for couples to turn to when they’re thinking about getting married, are engaged, or in the middle of the wedding planning process.

FUN FACTS About me

I’m obsessed with coffee

No, really. Black coffee, never with creamer or sugar. Multiple cups per day. My husband is constantly finding my coffee cups around the house – woops. :)

I basically grew up at Disneyland

My dad was an Imagineer, so Disneyland was a second home for us. I have an entire strategy on how to maximize my time there (even with the Genie+ system).

My husband had to resort to “Plan C” for his proposal to me

The day Nathaniel proposed to me, first 2 proposal plans didn’t end up going as anticipated. Luckily, he’s a planner and had a backup, backup plan! If you’re curious, you can listen to our whole engagement story here.

I love to travel and explore new places

Whether it’s off-roading through canyons in Anza-Borrego, touring museums in Florence, sipping on a margarita in Cabo, or hiking to a waterfall in -20°F weather during the Polar Vortex in Banff, count me in!

We had alpacas at our wedding

Alpacas made a grand entrance at our wedding by walking down the aisle ahead of me! We had never photographed a wedding with alpacas before, so we thought it’d be fun to add in a unique element to our wedding that we hadn’t experienced yet!

Sandals are always preferred

I’m pretty sure I wear sandals 340 days out of the year, even if it’s raining. Even when hiking, I’ll choose my Chacos over hiking boots 9/10 times. My feet just like to breathe!
