photographing people who are ridiculously in love

Hi. I’m Katie.

Before you and I move on to second base, here's some stuff you should probably know about me:

- I adore my husband who makes me laugh louder and harder than any other human on the planet.

- I really like meeting new people. Especially you.

- I perform improv comedy around town.

- I have an awesome baby named Callie Rose, after my grandma.

- My favorite TV shows are Parks & Rec, The Office, SNL, Arrested Development, Big Bang Theory, Up All Night, & 30 Rock.

- I am the proud mother of a mutt from the humane society, named Halpert (bonus points if you get that one)

- I WILL dance at your reception. I've tried not to. I just can't help it. I hope this isn't a problem for you.

- I am a hopeless, HOPELESS romantic. I will probably cry during your vows. I apologize in advance.

- Laughing is my favorite. I laugh loud and often. I might even snort a little at your wedding toasts. Again, I apologize.

- I have an obsession with old buildings, junk from antique stores, and history . You can blame my dad for that.

- I take the phrase "put yourself in other people's shoes' very seriously, possibly making me one of the most sensitive people, ever. You can blame my mom for that.

- My family is the coolest family ... ever.

- I will not allow weddings to be stressful. Only fun.

- I want to see the world. So far, I can check off the US, Mexico, and very recently London, England, AND Paris, France!

- I am a big fan of Jesus, and realize more every day that I am nothing without him.

-I would love to take your picture!

Katie Day at the Metro Bride Expo!

I did my first ever Bridal Expo last Sunday. Designing the booth was a blast. The day itself was crazy, overwhelming and I think I might have blacked out for most of it. I do vaguely remember telling someone after learning of their 2013 wedding date, “Well, I hope you enjoy your wedding because we’ll all be dead. The world is ending this year.” That may have not been the best sales technique. I also recall someone saying, “Can I book with you today?” And I said something like, “Go home! Think it over! No pressure!”. Yikes. In conclusion, I’m not a salesman. But, I do hope if you like my photos and it’s in your budget, then book! If it’s not, then we can still be friends. Please? Seriously, I really need some friends.

Now for photos of the booth! My hot husband built the background. My besties, Bre and Allison helped work the show. KDP also had the honor of being a featured vendor in the lobby. Woohoo!

Also, to stay up-date-to-date on the latest blog posts, you can “like” KDP on the facebook.

Raegan & Scott – Crafty, Witty, Hilarious Wedding with KNITTED flowers

RS_destination_wedding_photographer_katie_day001

Get ready for simply the most unique wedding I have ever shot.

Here’s what you need to know: They met working for Lover’s Lane Church in Dallas, TX and got married less than 6 months later. (Awesome.) They are both brilliantly sarcastic, witty, and amazing writers. If I had a copy of their vows, I’d post it. Hilarious and sweet simultaneously. Please try to read everything I posted and know that it was a tiny sampling. They must have written over a million words for this thing. The reception was a museum of their lives leading up to this point. Each table with a theme of some part that defines them. A childhood table, theatre table, san diego table, chik-fil-a table…etc. They really really love Chick-fil-A. They also really love Jesus and can somehow be superbly sarcastic one second and deeply spiritual the next. Later, history books will try to define them and how they do this effortlessly.

What’s with the blindfold, you ask? They did not want to see eachother beforehand but they did want to take pictures. So you will see a series of blindfolded photos, photos where there is something in between them, and some where he is just blatantly closing his eyes. It was such a creative challenge, and sometimes I would just freak out. “Ah!!! I’m so nervous you are going to open your eyes right now!!!!!Ahhhh!!”

My favorite part is the journal Raegan gave Scott. You need to know Raegan. I could write an entire post about how great she is. Her heart is SO beautiful, Raegan has been patiently single for a long time. Instead of being a desperate single, discouraged, cat lady, she has been keeping a journal to her future husband for over 8 years. Letters & prayers. She has been dedicated to Scott before she ever knew his name or what he looked like. Mind blown? Then she gave the journal to him on their wedding day and he had no knowledge of it beforehand. BOOM. That’s Raegan.

train to chicago

My husband rocks. We swore we weren’t exchanging gift this Christmas. The day after he hands me an envelope with a ‘clue’ in it. It rhymed. It ended up being one of seven envelopes that revealed an intricately planned trip to Chicago via a train!! He had everything planned. Hotel, dinner, theatre. He said he had a budget in mind and we could either spend three frugal days or one stupidly expensive 24 hours. He chose one amazing day. It included dinner on top of the Hancock building overlooking the skyline 95 stories up. I loved it. I love him. Who says romance has to die down in marriage? Here’s a few photos. I only managed to take about 5 photos and record only the train ride itself (on 8mm video). Whoops. I guess when you’re really enjoying yourself you tend to forget to document it. By the way, I apparently LOVE train rides. Never done it before, but it was a blast and definitely my new favorite spot to daydream.
