Katie here - you might know me as Katie Perk Photography. KPP got an upgrade y'all!
If you're looking to have some carefree, bitchin', unabashedly silly fun during your special day.... you're in the right place!
A few things you need to know about working with me: I don't judge, I encourage you to get weird and be yourself, I will be your greatest cheerleader and admirer, I will get up close and personal with you - literally and figuratively, and I just LOVE love. The kind of love that's almost contagious when you're around it. That's palpable, and loud, and unapologetic. That kind of love is my jam! So if you want those sweet sweet in between moments captured, I are your human.
Currently splitting time between Atlanta and Chicago but I'm a destination elopement photographer so I travel all over - shoot me a line or 10 and let's chat!

It's 2024... getting married no longer means spending a wild amount of money per plate for that friend of your great aunt she once went to a knitting circle with. Getting married means having the day, the weekend, or the trip of a lifetime.
Say goodbye to tacky centerpieces and hello to that dream beach ceremony in Greece followed by a built in honeymoon island hopping with your love getting sand in places you didn't know sand could get into.
"Peace out" to stiff poses, forced smiles, and uncomfortable clothes and heyyyyyy to a photoshoot that feels like a date. Full of making out, dancing, and laughs.
Basically we are not for the traditional. I'm here for those ready to step out of the box and ready to have a blast during their photoshoot!
If the idea of having a day to celebrate your love exactly how & where you want makes you giddy with excitement... we're going to have some fun together. If having a couple's photoshoot full of your love, intentional time together, fun, and absolutely no "say cheese" - then friends... you are home.

If the thought of getting married in an elaborate ballroom makes you break out in a cold sweat, you're in the right place!
A little bit about me

I believe in the small moments being just as important as the big ones. The little moments in between. The grandma whispering a wish into your ear, mom goofing off while walking down the aisle, dad being dad, your friend holding your hand while you get ready to see your partner... those are my favorite. It's the little, probably imperfect moments that make my heart melt and I think they'll be the ones you want in that photo album to look through years from now. If you're not into that, I'm probably not for you and that's a-ok!
I have photographed intimate weddings and elopements all over the world. From California, to Colorado, to Ireland, and Italy. No place is too far and no celebration too small. I've lived in some dope places too, Ireland was my favorite! Let's adventure together, and yes... a tiny court house wedding is as much an adventure as that insane mountain elopement is.

"Katie is the BEST!! My wife and I did a couples shoot with her prior to our wedding day shoot and she's got some awesome range as a photographer: both casual and intimate shoots. She brings the best out of a photography session: the laughs and love. Typically people feel as though working with a photographer is something like high school picture day (awkward and stale) but that is far from the truth when working with Katie. You ever meet someone and it feels like you're reconnecting with an old friend that you didn't know how much you missed dearly? That's what it feels like every time we are lucky enough to work with her. I will be recommending her to ALL of my friends and family because she's part of it!" - Vince H.
