Katie Raymond is a Chicago-based wedding and family photographer known for photographs that feel natural, timeless, and deeply personal. She believes the best images happen when you’re fully present—when the day unfolds as it naturally should, rather than being overly posed or perfectly planned.

When she photographs your moments, Katie wants you to look back at your images and feel them: the touch of your partner’s hand in yours, the sound of laughter echoing through a room full of your favorite people, the quiet emotion that words can’t quite capture. Her work is rooted in honest connection, beautiful light, and the little in-between moments that become the ones you remember most.

Based in Chicago and spending her summers along the shores of Lake Michigan in Northern Michigan, Katie is a sought-after photographer for weddings, families, and the seasons of life worth remembering. Her work has a distinctly nostalgic quality—warm, effortless, and a little bit imperfect in the best way.

Outside of photographing people she loves, Katie is a lover of documentation, natural light, Lake Michigan, James Taylor at breakfast, searching for Petoskey stones, golden hour walks, quilting, vintage photo booths, warm chocolate chip cookies, and her mini dachshund, Frankie.
