MEET KAT

Kat’s journey into weddings is rooted in her diverse and vibrant background.

After moving to California as a teenager, her passion for photography blossomed, paving the way for her creative career.
Her own intimate elopement with her life and business partner, Leo, inspired Kat to fully embrace the wedding industry and focus her craft. With hundreds of weddings under her belt and a California officiant license, she combines her organizational expertise with a storyteller’s heart to craft unforgettable celebrations. Kat’s meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication ensure every couple feels supported and celebrated.
When she’s not working, Kat enjoys exploring new culinary adventures in her kitchen, trying new restaurants, singing her heart out at karaoke, dancing the night away and going on spontaneous road trips.

MEET LEO
Photographer, Editor, Creative Director
Leo was born in the Philippines and raised in a home where old photographs filled every drawer and album. These candid snapshots — some cherished, some forgotten — sparked his deep love for nostalgia and the fleeting nature of moments.
That quiet fascination led him to photography, where he found a way to preserve emotion, movement, and memory. In 2010, alongside his wife, Kat, he co-founded a wedding photograph studio rooted in story telling and real connection. Together, the'y’ve documented love stories from the golden coast of Santa Barbara to the vibrant streets of Brooklyn.
As a creative, Leo draws inspiration from films, music, architecture and interior design. On quiet days, you’ll find him playing guitar, cooking alongside Kat, or out walking with Ringo Star,

RINGO STAR
Rescued in 2015, and living his best life ever since. A true beach boy at heart, he lives for long walks by the ocean, chasing after tennis balls with unmatched enthusiasm, and keeping a watchful eye on the dinner table in case any snacks happen to “accidentally” hit the floor. Equal parts loyal sidekick and the household comic relief, Ringo is the heart (and entertainment) of the family.
