For the couples who
want Candid moments
Film is part of my practice
it's always included!
Slowing down, observing the light, and capturing moments with care and purpose. Each frame is thoughtfully composed, creating images that feel organic, cinematic, and deeply emotional.
Blended with my documentary style, film adds a nostalgic warmth and artistry that makes your story truly enduring.
documentary & CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY FOR real photos
Documentary photography means documenting your day as it happens. Being able to capture these moments means guided prompts, setting the invisible scene and guiding you through your formal portraits in a authentic way where your natural chemistry takes over.
I love, love and
thats no understatement
I'm a Rochester NY based wedding and elopement photographer, who incorporates both film and digital.
My approach to wedding photography is fun, energetic, & you-focused.
Why a hybrid approach to your day works
A hybrid approach to wedding photography focuses on real moments as they happen, not stiff poses. It captures the quiet in-between moments, while keeping you in the moment. Your photos tell a story that feels true to who you are.
How?
Instead of directing every second, a documentary photographer observes, anticipates, and preserves the day exactly as it unfolds. Small prompts and quest help lead you into these moments.

My fiancé and I had engagement photos done with Katirina. She was so kind and flexible, even with rescheduling due to weather. She made us both feel comfortable and delivered on all my visions. Absolutely recommend!

I can't say enough about how happy I am with Katirina's work for our wedding! I knew from the introduction call that Katirina would be a great fit for what my fiancé and I were looking for. I thought it was really cool that she used both digital and film photography. What stands out the most for me is the attention to detail Katirina provides, from checking the weather in advance to outdoor location scoping to inquiring with on-site vendors on availability and pricing for photo sessions; she took the extra step to make our lives a little easier. I would highly recommend working with Katirina.

Can't recommend enough. Katirina was more excited than us for our special event. She has brilliant composition and even better taste when it comes to post processing.
