Katie Clare Photography

I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

I love capturing the small moments from your day, the connection you share, and the overall environment of your big day. I love to document it all through my signature true to life, candid, and romantic style. I really love to get to know my clients before their day. I include an engagement session with almost all my wedding packages so I get to work with all my couples before their day. Getting to shoot before your wedding day helps my couples get to know me as a friend, get comfortable in front of the camera, and of course celebrate your engagement!
