hi, i'm katherine!
the gal behind the camera.

I go by Katherine (not Katie), Bowes rhymes with toes, my emails contain too many exclamation points, and it takes me way too long to decide on my order at any restaurant.

I’m a Minneapolis-based wedding and lifestyle photographer for laidback and lighthearted couples. I attended the College of Saint Benedict where I received two degrees in Communication and Art (with an emphasis in Photography). It wasn’t until I photographed my first wedding in 2018 when I realized my hobby of photography - combined with the communication needed for wedding days - was actually my biggest passion!

I currently reside in Minneapolis with my husband (Buddy), two dogs (Louie + Dezi), and cat (Miss Meow). We live in the charming home my grandpa built in 1951. Spending time with family, working on house projects, staying active outdoors or in my home gym, cooking at home, and trying out new restaurants are some of my favorite pastimes. Buddy and I make pizza together at least once a week, and some type of spice gets added to every pie (jalapeños, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, etc.) I’m a hugger, and I already can’t wait to meet you!

I was born & raised in Minnesota. I moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a while, but the midwest black hole sucked me back in.

I shot my first wedding in 2018 in Estes Park, Colorado

My wedding photography motto is I want your photos to be about your wedding day, not your wedding day to be about photos.

My approach to wedding days: Focused, efficient photo time (couples portraits, wedding party, family), and fully embrace the fun & authenticity of the rest of the day!

I will absolutely be stealing a sweet treat from the dessert table on your wedding day. Phew, I feel a lot better getting that off my chest.
