Welcome!

Hi I'm Katarina, Kat for short & it's lovely to meet you! I am a dreamer, documentarist of love stories & totally dorky! I love laughter, capturing emotions & intimate moments in time, but most of all I love connecting with really amazing humans.

I am based out of Toronto but I travel all over the world documenting people's stories and adventures! I love getting personal & capturing your memories in the most honest & organic way possible.

My photography philosophy is simple: I believe that photography is intimate & personal & your memories should be captured in their most honest & unique way possible! That's why I don't think of my couples as "clients", but instead, as friends who want to hang out, have some fun, and take some photos! So if you are looking for more than just a "photographer" but someone you can laugh with, dance with, & get silly with - that's me, so let's grab a bevy & chat!

I love what I do & I do it with love...

How to Plan a Winter Personal Brand Session

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still…"

- Dorothea Lange

We thought we would be getting just a wedding photographer and instead we got so much more. From our first meeting with them, we have felt so at ease and have had nothing but laughs and memories at our engagement photo session and at our wedding with them. Anna & Andrew

There were so many wonderful candid shots that I'm glad they captured - they can really recognize special moments. They not only took beautiful photos, but Kat completely calmed me down when I was stressed out and really kept us on schedule when we forgot to do things Stephanie & Phil

Kat and Hugh are like old friends who make you feel right at home. They had the creativity, the style, and the "feel" that we were going for. If anyone asks me what my top five favourite wedding moments are, I would easily include the time we went for our engagement photos. Kim & Jay

"You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved...”

When one of your closest friends lets you take photos of her on her kitchen in nothing but a dress shirt you know she’s a keeper! Love you @msbeltempo - thanks for…well everything! 🥰🖤

Weekly round-up: nothing is spookier than two wedding weekends in a row after you proclaim your retirement to the world! 🫣🤦‍♀️ I owe @gillianfosterphotography for that one! But seriously, this week has been a little lighter (personally - I’m aware that the world is still on fire and I’m processing). But here it is - visually at a least : our last week, spooky ghouls and all!

Some nigh-time gems from my last wedding - this one was definitely an epic way to end on a high! Thank you @jasoncshum for your magic and @marymodd for trusting us in the dark and cold - the struggle was real (but oh so worth it) 🫣🤪🥰

Another weekly round up (i am beginning to get into a groove here!) This week was bittersweet. Everything that is happening in the world just seems so heavy - so finding little everyday things helps.

 Also celebrated my last wedding of my career (or at least that’s the plan). I will still take on small elopements and help out with second shooting for close friends but as for my own big formal weddings, I’m hanging up my weddings shoes.It’s the end of an era for me! I have to say that this one was epic and one for the books and I leave the industry on a super high note (thank you @jasoncshum & @marymodd for the best send -off!)

And that’s it lovers, another week gone. Getting closer to the winter months and I feel at peace. At least at the moment…

How was everyone else’s week?

Weekly round-up: it’s been a tough one. The loss of a very close friend and everything happening in the world has weighed heavy on my heart. But Ali taught me that life isn’t worth living if you don’t find the good in everything and I hold that close to my heart. She was truly a gem! So I’m finding happiness in the smallest things and honouring her memory every day…

How was your week lovers!?

Super late but here is a little summer round-up! It was a busy one this year but we soaked up every moment possible! I’m also super proud that I actually took some photos of our own family with my pro camera and not just my iPhone! Sure, I am not in any of them but I’m 💯  okay with that! LOL. Also, I can’t believe fall is already here - life just goes by so fast! 

What was your favourite moment this summer?

There are times when you are called somewhere and you cannot ignore that call - this was one of those times. Thank you @msbeltempo for making this trip lighter. @alistylinhughes next time we will meet outside of the HSpot and we will tear it up! Love you girls!

This one’s been years in the making - so much so that Hugh is coming out of retirement to capture it with me. I’m not saying it’s going to be epic…but it’s going to be epic! Congrats @hashtagterra & thank you for choosing us with your precious memories!
