Hi I'm Katey! Your storyteller behind the lens, capturing the pure magic of love against the breathtaking backdrop of the Upper Peninsula and the serene shores of Lake Superior. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for freezing those genuine moments that not only make your heart skip a beat, but will last a lifetime. Based in the enchanting Upper Peninsula, I've fallen head over heels for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From lush forests to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, every location becomes a canvas for love stories to unfold.

OK... Right out of the gate, my first to do was to book my photographer. Katey was absolutely my number one go to, and I knew I had to try to get her for my wedding. From the first contact, to the end of the night and even to today she has been beyond superior. She worked so dang hard to keep us relaxed and captured everything I envisioned. She's calm, cool and collective. I can't say enough about her pictures, the way she captures the details that you wouldn't necessarily notice on your big day is incredible. I can't say enough about her and can't wait to book her for another shoot one day.

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

Steff was fabulous to work with. I struggled to create my shot list and Steff had prepared ideas and poses so we could match and follow her lead easily. She got us our sneak peeks so quickly.
