I'm Mary Katherine Wedding photographer chasing all things good, true, and beautiful
šŸ“Ohio + beyond
Two Artistic Styles • IMK Aurora "The Dawn" and IMK Vespera "The Dusk"

Authentic, beautiful, passionate. The emotions and expressions that occur on a wedding day are unique. My goal as your wedding photographer is to capture the story of your day. Whether it's your father seeing you in your wedding dress, your mother crying and laughing at the same time, or your relatives and friends bonding over their shared joy for you both.When you and your spouse look through your wedding pictures, I want you to see the tears, laughter, hugs, and smiles that grace the beautiful faces of your loved ones. For years to come, those are the memories I want to preserve for you.

Maeve & John's wedding gallery was delivered today and what better time to share theri blog post from a few weeks ago?

I'm so glad they chose my Aurora Style because it was absolutely perfect with their blush pink and navy blue color scheme and the rich blue-green of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Head to my blog to see all my favorites! ---------->

Consider this my love letter to engagement sessions that are as unique and varied as my couples’ beautiful love stories.

From oceans to mountains, forests and lakes, art museums and coffee shops, historic architecture or a favorite local city spot, the sky’s the limit to locations.

Whether you’re reading together on a picnic blanket, dancing under Spanish moss, enjoying your favorite cocktail, running through a field or just simply enjoying each other’s company, an engagement session should feel like YOU.

Sometimes engagement sessions have taken me to exotic locations where I’ve gone on hikes with couples, explored National Parks, clambered over cliffs by the ocean, or explored beautiful gardens at sunrise but I’ve also wandered through my own small town with my couples, stopped at our own local coffee shop (that happens to be Catholic-owned šŸ™Œ), headed to the local ā€œoverlookā€ at sunset, and explored the wildflowers here in Steubenville. No matter if the location is far away or 5 min down the road, I love spending this precious time with my couples.

I don’t share engagement sessions as much as I should (I tend to give weddings a priority in that department) so consider this a long overdue highlight reel with many many others I couldn’t fit into this already too-long post.

It might be a little over a year later but there are still some moments from Kaitlyn & Mike’s Nuptial Mass I think about.

These are the top ones.

I was influenced by another photographer to get a gaming controller to make my least favorite photography task (culling) a little more fun.

Is this a well spent $30? So far, yes. šŸ™Œ

Top obsessions with this New Jersey wedding:

Catie’s unique floral embroidered veil which was jaw-dropping.

Adoration before their Nuptial Mass? Heck yes. šŸ˜

The most colorful, joyful florals.

Did I mention her veil?? šŸ¤

The most perfect light streaming through the stained glass.

John’s deep green suit that pulled all the colors together!

The fact that their wedding party included a religious Sister and a Capuchin Brother, (who happens to be the bride’s twin brother). 🄹

And of course, Catie and John win the award for the most unique way a couple has ever found me. (Scroll all the way to the end to find out how! šŸ‘€)

Summer is flying by and somehow it has been ages since I shared any links to the weddings that have hit my blog! I love creating blog posts for each and every wedding I do and I used to be much better at sharing the links on this app immediately! But alas šŸ˜‚šŸ¤Ŗ..

Sooo I thought it would be fun to share the 7 weddings I’ve blogged in the last two months (3 Aurora and 4 Vespera) all at once! I love seeing how uniquely beautiful each wedding is when I curate them like this. šŸ˜

And you can find all the links to the exact blog posts in my story if you want to explore any individual one further!
