About Katelyn Kristine Photography
Years in the industry:
I'm Kate, a queer, fun-loving American gal living in Barcelona with a deep passion for honest, artful celebrations. I started this business because I felt relationships like mine weren't being well photographed, and I've spent the past few years since helping change the outdated, heteronormative ways of the wedding industry.
When you work with me, you step into an inclusive, affirming space for all love, always. I strive to create a space free of expectations and obligation, so you can be yourselves every moment while your story is documented as it unfolds. You can expect a photographer who feels like an old friend, who knows the ins and outs of your relationship, and who is an unconditional, unwavering supporter of your love.
I bring the location recs, permit info, and insider tips for Europe so you and your boo can be as stress-free as possible. Every photoshoot is customized for you, shaped around your story, your pace, and the choices that feel right to you.
Before our first call, know that you belong here exactly as you are. Come with a full vision or just a feeling, and we'll shape it together.
When you look back, I hope you feel safe, seen, and celebrated, and that you feel the comfort of a love that welcomes you as you are.
Queer-owned, straight-friendly. ™️
What does queer-affirming mean to my business?
Pricing and packages
Queer-affirming means your love is the starting point of everything I do, not something I make room for. I'm a queer woman myself, and I built this business because I wanted queer couples to have photographers who truly see them. I photograph your love from a place of empathy, and I see bits of myself in every couple I work with. You deserve to have wedding vendors who celebrate you, not just tolerate you. You can trust that I’ll be celebrating you with my whole heart.

KATELYN YOU ARE AMAZING! You photographed our elopement day so beautifully we are so blown away by our photos! You captured our day better than we could've even imagined.
Before we even met Katelyn we felt like we had made a new friend, she is so friendly and fun energy and we are so grateful to have had her part of our big day! She also gave us a hand written card and had taken polaroids throughout our ceremony to give to us (which we didn't even see her do!), so to have this surprise after our day was sooo lovely and such a nice touch we didn't expect! It was so lovely having such a great team around us on the day when we were so far away from home.
If you have a wedding in Europe and are looking for a photographer, you HAVE to hire Katelyn, her vision and energy is actually unmatched!!!
Thank you again Katelyn, we can't wait to see you next time we come to Europe!

If you’re looking for someone who will cherish and capture your most precious moments in life, Kate is that person. A few years ago, she made our dream elopement a reality and just recently she also documented our growing family in our maternity photos. Not only is her work stunning (the pictures speak for themselves), but she makes the experience feel comfortable and natural. Both my wife and I tend to feel shy in front of the camera, but she guided us through it without judgement. For our elopement, she figured out every detail from permits required to meeting spots and everything in between. For our maternity shoot, she was flexible and pivoted last minute to work around inclement weather. Not only does she pay close attention to detail, but she also makes you feel like family with the way she’s invested in your life. We are so grateful for Kate!

The engagement photos of my dreams! Katelyn met my fiancé and I in Iceland and captured our love in the most beautiful way. She made the whole experience wonderful from start to finish! She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and it felt like we had been friends for years. She is the sweetest, most talented human and I’m so grateful she was the one behind the camera capturing such amazing moments! Incredible photos produced by an incredible human. I can’t recommend her enough!

Katelyn was a dream to work with. As a queer person in a same sex relationship, it was trying to find a photographer who both knows how to work with queer people but it was and is such a gift to have a person, in Kate, who is enthusiastic about her couples stories, experiences and dreams both for photography and for their events. She is also so skilled in capturing people of different racial identities with a keen eye for light, framing, and depth. She is generous, abundantly thoughtful and does her due diligence in planning, communicating, contracts and pricing. It would be easy to gate keep a talent like hers but good people deserve good photographers and Katelyn goes above and beyond.
