Timeless Images with a Personal Touch
That's Where I Come In
If you’re here, you’re probably newly engaged and starting to explore your options (or possibly about to be engaged and dreaming about the future!) Either way, I'm so glad you found your way to me! I know this season can feel exciting and overwhelming all at once, and my hope is to make things feel personal, warm, and easy right from the start.
You deserve someone who will guide you, support you, and create a photography experience that feels calm, joyful, and true to who you are. I’ve photographed more than 250 weddings, and each one still feels like an honor. Your day should be filled with meaningful moments, and my job is to help you stay present for every single one. I’m truly grateful you’re here, and I’d love to walk with you through this beautiful season.
It's true what they say, your wedding is a blur.
Delivery and Heirlooms
Within the first week, you’ll receive sneak peeks in your inbox, followed by your full gallery within eight weeks. From there, we can design your wedding album or select prints so your memories live beautifully in your home for years to come.

Once your wedding weekend arrives, I want you to be fully present in the moments while my team and I support you, help you feel at ease, and document it all beautifully with joy and intention.
Your WEDDING WEEKEND

As the big day approaches, we’ll plan your engagement session, bridal session, or any additional pre-wedding coverage you’d like. I love getting my couples in front of the camera before the wedding – it helps you feel comfortable, confident, and totally at ease in front of my camera.

Custom Proposal & Booking

Once I learn more about your plans, I’ll put together a custom proposal designed specifically for you. We’ll make things official with a signed contract and a 25% retainer. From that moment on, your wedding is officially on my calendar and you can breathe a big sigh of relief and let the planning begin!

KIND WORDS
While collections begin at $9,700,
most couples invest an average of $12,500.
Every Collection includes coverage led by Kati Mallory, multiple photographeres, an online gallery of high-resolution images, and a custom timeline to keep your day running smoothly. You’ll also receive full printing rights. Many couples choose to add engagement and bridal sessions, heirloom wedding albums, and printed products. You can also include additional weekend coverage for rehearsal dinners and welcome parties, creating a Collection that is fully customized to your wedding weekend.
Every couple is unique, and I want your experience to feel personal, thoughtful, and stress-free from the very beginning.
COLLECTIONS
My favorite question! Booking is easy – I require a 25% retainer fee and a signed copy of my contract in order to secure your date. A second payment of 25% is due 90 days before your wedding, and the final balance is due 14 before your wedding.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Yes! While I’m based in Arkansas, I have a deep love for travel and find endless inspiration in new places. My work has taken me across the U.S. and around the world, capturing weddings in breathtaking destinations like France, Ireland, Telluride, Jekyll Island, New Orleans, Dallas, D.C., Hilton Head, Nashville, Denver, Tulsa, Charleston, and many more – especially throughout the Southeast.
Do you travel?
Most galleries average about 80-100 images per hour of shooting during the wedding day, totalling 800-1400 images (give or take).
HOW MANY IMAGES ARE INCLUDED IN WEDDING GALLERIES?
I am a hybrid photographer, which means I shoot on both film and digital cameras. Film is my favorite medium, and I'm in love with the dreamy colors, the buttery-soft look, and the intimacy that shooting on film gives me. It forces me to slow down and think about each shot, and it's a timeless medium.
I also shoot digitally in fast-paced or low-light situations. I edit my digital images to match the tones of my film ones, with a goal of making them seamless in your curated gallery.
Why do you shoot film?
Working with me is easy and relaxed! I focus on creating a comfortable environment so your true personality shines. I value building personal connections, which helps me capture your story in a way that feels authentically yours. With attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, we’ll feel like lifelong friends by the time your wedding day arrives.
What is it like working with you?
My style focuses on joyful, dreamy, romantic images full of beautiful light and natural emotion. I look for good light everywhere I go, and if I’m behind a camera there’s a good chance I’ll let out a squeal of delight when the delicious light comes out! I love photos where my clients look and feel like the best versions of themselves.
How would you describe your style?
Turnaround time depends on the season and my current workload. For portrait sessions, galleries are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks, while wedding galleries take 8 weeks. I carefully edit each collection in the order it was photographed to ensure every client receives the attention and quality they deserve.
