Weddings with us feel a lot like being surrounded by your favorite people, easy, relaxed, and full of moments you didn't even realize you'd want to remember. We're there to keep things flowing, make you feel comfortable, and quietly catch the in between pieces that end up meaning the most years from now. Think less pressure, more presence, and photos that bring you right back to how it all felt.
We truly care about our clients and the experience we create. From communication to the final gallery, we focus on making things feel easy, personal, and consistent. We're a small team that pours a lot of heart into what we do, and that shows in both the experience and the final images.
Choose from 6, 8, 10, or full-day coverage, or create a custom package that fits your day.
For us it's not just about stunning photos, it's about understanding your love story. We'll blend into the background to catch the candid moments, the stolen glances and tear-jerking vows, while guiding you through fun poses that make you feel like models in a magazine. Then we'll work our magic behind the scenes to deliver a curated collection of images that take you right back to the love and joy all over again.
Our engagement sessions are an Ala carte add on to our wedding packages for a discounted price of $200 (reg. $775) however if you’d like to only book an engagement session then you can choose from our Your Time, Your Story or Your Adventure session type.
Our engagement sessions feel a lot like a fun date night with a third wheel who happens to have a camera. We’ll laugh, move around, and keep things easy so you’re not stuck in stiff poses or overthinking anything. It’s all about capturing your connection in a way that feels natural, playful, and actually like you.
“Katie and her team were hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, everything felt easy and organized, and they truly cared about what was important to us. Our photos are beyond anything we could have imagined, so natural, beautiful, and full of emotion. We felt completely taken care of the entire day.”
“We’ve now used Lemon and Lace for our engagement, wedding, and family photos, and every experience has been amazing. Katie has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and it really shows in the final images. The quality, consistency, and attention to detail are unmatched. We will treasure these photos forever.”
