You’ve got one shot, one opportunity…to capture the kind of wedding photos that actually represent you.
I became a wedding photographer to help you do just that!
It all started when…
Growing up, I was ALWAYS watching romcoms with my mom, or shows like Say Yes to The Dress, 90 Day Fiance, or something of the like. With spending so much time watching those, I fell in love with love at an early age. I guess somewhere between watching people say yes to the dress and watching fictional couples run through airports or kiss in the rain, I knew I wanted to be part of love stories.
I’ve always been that person who wanted to hang onto a moment a little longer. I’ve felt the overwhelm of trying to make everything perfect and the freedom of realizing you don’t have to. That’s why I do this. Because your love deserves to be documented.
When it came to picking up a camera, I’ve literally always had one in my hand. I remember going to the Auto Show when I was a kid and running around with a disposable camera, taking photos of anything and everything I could. So, my love for photography started young. Once I got into high school, everything clicked for me. I took a photo class, I got my first DSLR camera, and I started photographing concerts. I’ve been doing this for 15 years now, and I know for sure there is absolutely nothing I’d rather be doing with my life. Weddings are my happy place. Documenting love stories for couples across the country has been the best part of my life so far.
HEY
I’M katy
metro detroit based wedding photographer for bad as f*** couples!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Metro Detroit based wedding photographer but I’ll happily hop on a plane if your love story takes us somewhere new. Travel fuels me almost as much as a good cocktail and yelling at the Detroit Red Wings like they can hear me through the TV.
Why do I do what I do? I freaking love love. It’s that simple.
Meininger Media is built on fun, authenticity, honesty, and inclusivity. I’m here to capture the weird, the wild, the “omg can you believe that just happened” energy? That’s what I live for. There is a 90% chance I will cry at your wedding, fair warning. 15 years ago when I started out, I was photographing 3-5 concerts a month. It taught me how to move fast, feel energy, and capture moments as they unfold. So, whether you’re throwing a full-blown party or planning a quiet elopement in the woods, I’m here for it.
