A candid and fine art approach to telling your love story

Congrats on your upcoming Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding!

I've photographed weddings in every corner of the courthouse and am here to give you all the inside tips for a smooth wedding day.

KATIE AND ETHAN

I can NOT say enough about Kaitie and what she did for us on our wedding day. She was so fun to be around and with my family hard to wrangle, she did it with such ease and efficiency!! But the pictures...they brought tears to my eyes and we are getting so many compliments on all the photos. could not be happier with the results and I would recommend anyone and everyone to use her skills on the biggest day of your life!!

JESSICA AND KONRAD

Her effervescent personality makes shooting with her both natural and comfortable, allowing her to capture an authenticity and joy that I never imagined could be translated in a picture. Her working style is unobtrusive, she seamlessly inserts herself into your event to beautifully capture grand spaces, small details, and most importantly those special moments that are so often overlooked. Kaitie Brainerd is not only a talented photographer, but she is an absolute joy to work with.

CHRISTINE AND WILL

Kaitie photographed our summer wedding in Santa Barbara, and she did the most AMAZING job capturing our special day. She made Will and I feel SO comfortable, especially since we'd never had professional photos taken together. Not only did we feel comfortable working with Kaitie, we also had fun!!
