DOCUMENTARY-LED,

EFFORTLESSLY EDITORIAL

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

For the unapologetically themselves, the wildly in love and those who'd rather live in the moment than pose for it.

I'm here for all of it. The excitement, the emotions and the beautifully unplanned moments. I'll help you feel confident, bring the encouragement and give you just enough direction for those effortlessly editorial portraits. Nothing forced, no awkward posing and no hours away from your favourite people.


The rest? That's all you. Unapologetically yourselves, living every second.

RECENT BRIDE & YOUR BUILT-IN HYPE GIRL.

I'm Katie, the face behind Captured by KDW. A creative at heart, a people person and your photographer turned built-in hype girl.


As a recent bride myself, I know how quickly the day flies by. You've got people to hug, memories to make and a wedding to enjoy, not hours to spend posing.


With a documentary-led approach and an editorial eye, I'll offer a little creative direction when needed and step back to let the moments unfold naturally.


Think of me as an extra friend at your wedding, bringing the encouragement, reassurance and creative eye while you enjoy every second.

FOR THE

WILDLY IN LOVE.

MY APPROACH

TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.


The real, unscripted moments. The effortlessly stylish ones.


Here's how I bring both together.

01 / THE REAL MOMENTS

THE BEAUTY IN THE UNPLANNED.
Smiling older woman with short hair laughs joyfully at a banquet table with wine glasses while guests chat behind her in black and white.

The best moments often happen when you're not even thinking about the camera. The reactions, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and everything happening in between.


I'll blend into the celebrations, capturing the genuine connections and little moments you might not even realise are happening.


No constant interruptions or recreating moments for the camera. Just you, your favourite people and the freedom to be completely present.

02 / the EDITORIAL EDGE

 

A little direction. A lot of personality.

Think beautiful light, considered compositions and portraits that wouldn't look out of place in a magazine. Without the pressure of knowing exactly what to do in front of the camera.


I'll find the right light, give you gentle direction and create space for those effortlessly stylish photographs that still feel completely like you.


No awkward posing or spending hours away from your guests. Just a little creative direction and photographs you'll want hanging on your walls.

 

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

 

The moments as they happen. The portraits you'll want on your walls.
