Kaitlyn Bernauer

My journey into photography started in the darkroom when I was 15. I got my degree at OU (Oh Yeah) and went on to work as a photojournalist for a couple of papers in Iowa and Washington state. I met a lot of amazing people and went on a lot of epic adventures, but eventually decided it was time to come back to my roots and move back to Ohio. I wasn’t sure what I wanted for the future, but I knew that I wanted more moments that I could hand over to my subjects. Moments that weren’t happening because of a breaking news story, but were breaking news for the people in them. I started my business in 2016, and began focusing on weddings shortly afterwards.

When I’m not shooting, editing, or texting/emailing with my clients, you can find me playing trains with my toddler or binge-watching all the things (currently we’re way into 90 Day Fiance, which is like…kind of wedding planning related if you’re looking for an excuse to become one with your couch).

About Me: As a Photographer

I’m obsessed with getting to know each and every one of my clients on a personal level. Your wedding day should scream YOU and, to do that, I have to get to know you. I want your wedding photos to be a real reflection of your relationship. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all wedding photography. I’m cool with throwing tradition to the wind, thinking outside the box, and making your day exactly what you’ve dreamed of. I believe that your wedding experience should be fun and beautiful and deliver timeless photos that let you relive the day.

I also don’t see my role as just showing up and taking pictures on your day. That means, rather than just giving you epic photos, I’m also here for you every step of the way. Whether you need a florist recommendation, emergency tissues, or someone to help you navigate all the feels on your big day – I’m your girl. I care about your wedding day almost as much as you do. Seriously.

If that sounds like your jam, let’s chat.
