Katie Ruther

A TRAVELING WEDDING + LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN LOS ANGELES.

For the playful lovers who value romance, the present moment, and a creative spin on the editorial expression of photography. I take a journalistic approach to wedding storytelling - one that is raw, real, fun and authentic! My mission is to create photos that are both timeless and laid back while organically capturing the nature of your love from an artistic perspective. Relationship and connection is at the center of how I create and I cannot wait to get to know you and tell your story!

 

Testimonials

“There are not enough nice things to say about Katie and how fantastic she is as not only a wedding photographer, but as a person. From the very first meeting, she was prompt in responding, patient, understanding and accommodating. Photography is not just a job for Katie, it is her passion and what she is meant to do. She captures so much love in her photos, you truly can feel it through the frames. On our wedding day she was the perfect mix of discreet and low key, but engaging and fun to be around and added to our enjoyment of the day, particularly during our family and couples shots. Katie absolutely captured the story of our wedding day perfectly and the pictures will be treasured for years to come. HIRE KATIE OR ELSE I WILL COME AND GET YA!!!!!” - Becky + Michael

“Working with Katie was a dream. Literally. We connected with Katie at our engagement shoot earlier in the year and I knew she was the right choice. Her spunky yet calming personality put both my husband and me at ease throughout our entire day. We would both say that our time with Katie for our post-ceremony portraits was one of the highlights of our day. We had so much fun walking the streets of LA and letting Katie’s imagination create the most beautiful pictures. She has a way with people, and she has a way with her camera that work magically together.” - Haley + Jeremy

“I can’t say enough about how amazing our experience was with Katie. We looked at Katie‘s work online, and after comparing it to literally dozens of other photographers all over the nation, we were hooked. She far exceeded our expectations and from the beginning we could tell she was experienced, warm, friendly and easy to talk to. On the wedding day Katie was unobtrusive and we hardly noticed her throughout the day but she managed to get all of the perfect shots. We had the most incredible time with her driving around the venue and seeing her create magic with her camera and she has this really special way of making us feel natural and at ease. Lauren and I spent 4 hours the night we got the photos back sitting together on the couch and going on and on about how thankful we were. Even before we saw the photos, we were so thrilled with the choice we had made. Katie, thanks again for everything you did to make this so special for me and Lauren!” - Lauren + Britt

“My bride and I want to thank Katie so much for the job she did during one of the most important moments of our lives. She helped us begin our journey, and it wasn’t with just photos. You could feel her ENERGY AND GENUINENESS throughout the process. You would think we had known each for years. My bride and I are just so grateful for her HEART, which was on display through the entire process....and that meant more than anything.” - Shannon + Sean

“Working with Katie for both our engagement & wedding day photos was an absolute DREAM. Her photos speak for themselves, and we are so grateful to have all of the precious memories captured perfectly so we can look back on them for years to come. But I think what really sets Katie apart is who she is as a person. She’s kind, intentional, and absolutely full of life. She brought so much joy to our wedding day, making us laugh and lighting up the room, yet also blending in seamlessly without disrupting anything to get the shots. She didn’t tell us to pose ONCE. On top of the perfect photos she captured, she made us feel that she genuinely loved us and was so excited for our day and our future. Oh, and she ended the night with our family and friends on the dance floor!!! So if that doesn’t say what kind of amazing photographer and person she is, then I don’t know what does :) HIRE KATIE RUTHER!!!! You won’t regret it.” - Rianna + Tommy
