Hello! Welcome to the website for Katie Klein Photography, specializing in weddings and portraiture. I feel honored and privileged to be able to archive the most important moments in my client’s lives. My goal is to provide a unique and creative portrayal of a moment in time, so that the original emotion and experience can be re-lived through the images for years to come.
Choosing a photographer is a very individualized process. It can also be an overwhelming process, especially when looking at many different photographer’s websites and trying to figure out if their style, education, and experience are up to your standards. To ensure that I am the best photographer to fit your needs, I would like to share some information about my style and background. Thanks for taking the time to consider my services!
I graduated with honors from the internationally renowned, Savannah College of Art and Design, with a B.F.A in Photography. After college graduation, I worked in New York and Los Angeles with the famous fashion and celebrity photographer, David LaChapelle, for several years.
I am currently based in North Carolina and I have had the honor of photographing over 200 unique and beautiful love stories! I take my job very seriously, but I also have a relaxed and fun energy which, I am told, helps others to relax and enjoy the day as well.
In addition to photography, I offer my services as a makeup artist to my brides so that they will look and feel their best on their wedding day. Makeup application allows for time to be pampered, with the added benefit that I am there throughout the wedding for touch-ups!
My style is unique, blending my love of vintage fashion, documentary storytelling, and color. Following the documentary style, the majority of my wedding day images are unobtrusively taken and are candid in nature. Through my experience, I have found that it is best to include some “posed” images as well, in order to include guests and family and to capture the full story of the day. When photographing posed images, I give a minimal amount of direction to help everyone feel comfortable.
As a business owner and artist, I realize that it takes a great deal of knowledge, experience, and responsibility to provide my clients with the service that I would want as a consumer. I am a perfectionist with my work and complete each wedding from start to finish. No online companies, interns, or freelance artists will ever touch your images. With over 30 hours of back-end work involved with each wedding, I take personal responsibility to make sure the best quality work is provided. Additionally, all packages include a professional second photographer, Wendy Weeks, who has worked with me for over eight years. Wendy also has a college degree in photography. Together we provide a more extensive and creative story of the day.
A unique fashion-style “photo booth” and professional documentary-style videography can now be added to any package. High resolution print-ready files are always included with every package. Wedding packages start at $4,250 and custom packages are available to best fit my client’s wants and needs.
I look forward to the opportunity to talk with you further and would love to meet with prospective clients in person if possible. Phone or Skype consultations are also available if travel is not possible. Please email me directly at katiekleinphoto@gmail.com to find out if your date is available, to set up a consultation, and to receive a full list of package and pricing information.
