For your wedding, the people matter just as much as the details.
You want your parents and grandparents documented, the quiet moments noticed, and the in-between interactions remembered, not just the way everything looked, but the way it felt to be there.
You value photographs that unfold naturally, without forcing or staging, and an experience that allows you to stay present rather than perform for the camera.
Photography is one of your top priorities, not for trends or perfection, but for preserving the people and moments that shaped this season of your life.
Not just how a day looked, but how it felt to be there, the people who showed up, & the moments you didn’t realize were happening until you see them later and feel it all over again.

Photographs are a way of remembering
Being a mother has given me a sensitivity to the emotional layers of a wedding day, not just for the couple, but for parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends who have walked with them to this moment.
I notice the way a parent watches their child from across the room, the quiet pride, the bittersweet joy, the small gestures that carry so much meaning.
Those moments matter to me just as much as the celebration itself.
My work is shaped by my faith, my love for family, and an awareness of how fleeting these seasons of life truly are.

I'm KATRINA

I bring organization and steadiness to the planning process, and a calm, thoughtful presence on the wedding day itself. I’ll guide when it’s helpful, step back when moments deserve privacy, and always stay attentive to what’s unfolding naturally.
Couples often tell me they felt at ease, supported, and confident that everything meaningful was being cared for, without having to think about the camera.
That trust is something I never take lightly.
When I photograph a wedding, my goal is to create space, space for you to be present, unhurried, and fully yourself.
I’ve had the honor of documenting celebrations throughout Texas, as well as in Boston and New York, and I’m always open to destination weddings for couples who feel aligned.
I’ve also spent several years living in France, where I developed a deep appreciation for beauty, culture, architecture, and the kind of quiet elegance that doesn’t need to announce itself. That influence continues to shape how I see and photograph the world.
I officially began Katrina McArdle Photography in 2023, though I’ve been photographing weddings since 2019.
If I couldn’t have cake on my birthday, I’d choose white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (gluten-free) or Blue Bell Moolinium Crunch ice cream.
I could watch The Office (seasons 1–3 only) on repeat forever.
I know every word to Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 version, obviously).
My most-listened-to podcast lately is Diary of a CEO.
My daily drinks are black coffee or sparkling water, but on wedding days, it’s an iced matcha with coconut milk from Starbucks.
I mostly read the Bible these days, but I love non-fiction, especially books about business, hospitality, psychology, wellness, and history.
here's a few little things, just for fun, of course:
