Katy Weaver Photography

Hi, I'm Katy! I'm a passionate Portland-based photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic joy and connection within life's most precious moments. I believe photographs hold the power to transcend time, preserving memories and emotions for generations to come. That's why I strive to create art that goes beyond simply documenting a scene; I aim to tell a story, to encapsulate the essence of who you are and the love that surrounds you.

My journey as a photographer began with a deep love for people and a desire to celebrate the unique beauty of every individual and relationship. It's not just about the technical aspects of photography for me; it's about connecting with my clients, understanding their vision, and collaborating to create images that resonate on a heartfelt level.

My Photographic Philosophy

I believe that the most genuine and meaningful photographs come from a place of authenticity. I strive to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for my clients, allowing them to be themselves and express their emotions freely. My style is a blend of candid and posed elements, capturing both the spontaneous laughter and tender moments alongside beautifully composed portraits that showcase your individual personalities and love.

Whether it's the twinkling eyes of a newly married couple, the radiant smiles of a graduating senior, or the heartwarming embrace of a family celebrating together, I aim to capture the raw emotions and fleeting moments that make life so precious.

Wedding Photography

It's an honor to document the love and commitment shared between two people on their wedding day. I understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I treat it with the utmost care and attention. I believe that your wedding day should be a reflection of you as a couple, and I work closely with my clients to create a personalized photography experience that captures their unique love story.

From the heartfelt preparations to the joyous celebrations, I'm there to capture every detail, big and small. I believe in a blend of traditional and creative approaches, ensuring that you have both timeless portraits and unique, artistic images that tell the story of your special day.

Engagement Photography

Engagement photos are a wonderful way to celebrate your love and capture the excitement for the wedding to come. I believe in creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere for my couples during these sessions, allowing them to express their genuine emotions and connection.

We'll explore locations that speak to your shared interests and personalities, creating a narrative through the images that reflects your unique journey as a couple.

Family and Senior Portraits

I also specialize in family and senior portraits, capturing the milestones and memories that make life so special. Whether it's a family gathering or a graduating senior's final moments of high school, I aim to create images that are both timeless and personal.

I work with my clients to ensure that the portraits reflect their individual styles and personalities, creating lasting keepsakes that they will cherish for years to come.

My goal is to create an experience that is as enjoyable as the final images. I believe that genuine smiles and authentic emotions are the key to creating truly impactful photographs.
