Hi, I’m Katie Butler! A wedding and portrait photographer based out of the Kalamazoo, MI but would love to travel!

My mission is to capture God’s beautiful creation: You! To capture the real and authentic stories of couples and singles in a natural yet unique way in order to reveal their authentic radiance and to document a moment in their story. It is my honor to photograph something that God so perfectly put together: He’s the author, I am just the photographer.

THE SUMMEY’S ☀️💐🌾🪻🌼🌷

I don’t even know how to put their day into words. The intentionality, the focus on Christ, the love, the community, the details— just so pure and so beautiful!

More to come from their gallery but for now, some sneak peeks of some sweet moments 🫶🏼

Absolutely cannot wait for Rachael + Ben’s wedding this fall🤩✨🥂

Had the best time with them a few weeks ago for their engagement session. And what a perfect night it ended up being!!

Mr + Mrs Klein🥂

What a beautiful day they had! I loved how much Katey and Nick wanted to soak everything up with a focus on the candid and raw moments.

From their beautiful ceremony, white dove release, convertible ride, trip to Mr. Burger, party on the rooftop, the most elegant reception, and a wild dance floor to live music— there definitely wasn’t a dull moment! And all the love and excitement was contagious!

Can’t wait to finish their gallery and share more of the beautiful details their day had✨

A big shoutout to the vendor team!

Charity + Ian’s wedding day is one I wish I could continue to relive✨💐☀️🌳💛

Last Sunday was a holy day. These two spill out the light of Christ and that was so evident as they entered into the covenant of marriage. They wanted their guests to hear the Gospel, worship Christ alongside them, pray over them, and of course celebrate with them!

There were many tender tributes to Ian’s late mom that didn’t leave a dry eye in the room. Including Charity surprising Ian with her bridesmaids setting a white tulip on Ian’s moms chair, as that was her favorite flower🤍

It was an absolute honor to serve them on their big day and to document the many beautiful emotions that unfolded.

Brayden’s message came at the most perfect time.

Priorities have shifted since having Judah and with that has come learning to balance being home with him and also working from home.

Comparison and doubt easily creeps in.

But this text after my first session back from maternity leave reminded me why I do this🫶🏼

Photography isn’t always easy but what I love most is serving people in a way that they feel comfortable, themselves, and have beautiful memories that reflect who they are to hold onto for years.

WHAT AN HONOR 🥹

Thank you to all who have trusted me with your little and big moments🫶🏼 You’re the reason I love this career!

Trinity + Cameron are married👏🏼✨☺️

Their day overflowed with the light of Christ, love from friends + family, and so much fun! They both just wanted to be married and appreciated their day for what it was. Nothing could ruin it for them! Even a button that fell off of Trinity’s dress didn’t stress her- before she even knew which one it was, she immediately said “that’s okay!” with a smile!

My heart was filled to brim as I drove home and reflected on the day. The Lord blessed me with such an amazing start to the 2026 wedding season 🫶🏼

Shoutout to .gracephotography for being the best second photographer and playing I spy with me on the way home to keep us awake 😂

Bri + Tyler ✨

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post their session! What a blast it was to wander grassy fields with golden sunshine and get to experience how precious they are together ☺️

Seriously so blessed with all my wonderful 2026 clients!!

Since it’s been so nice outside, I have been reminiscing on so many of my 2025 sessions that I have yet to post!

Still so in love with Ainsley and Malachi’s session last fall on the beach🥰 What a joy it was to get to know them before their wedding this summer!

Judah has stolen our hearts.

As I end maternity leave, I’m reflecting on how beautiful the Lord is. The transition into motherhood has been an awe-filled, spiritual experience.

My whole perspective has shifted. Things that used to feel so important don’t anymore. A cluttered home, to-do lists unfinished, and low sleep don’t bother me (as much lol). I see them as a rich life✨

I am now transitioning back into work and what a blessing it is to stay home with my boy still! It definitely is different having a 2 month old to care for while catching back up on business but we’re learning as we go :)

With that said, 2026 weddings are all booked👏🏼 2026 sessions and 2027 weddings are still available!

I cannot wait to dive back into serving my clients and seeing the memories + moments we get to document 🫶🏼
