Hi, friend! My name is Katie Rose, and I'm SO happy you're here! :)
I'm a wedding photographer based in Greenville, SC. I love new adventures, traveling, watching sunrises, and meeting new people. I am a follower of God, and my faith influences every decision I make in my business and how I treat those around me!
My photography journey started back in 2021, after my freshman year of college. I was feeling incredibly anxious about my future career and had no idea which direction to turn. My dad suggested trying photography and seeing where it might lead. I was skeptical at first, but I am SO thankful I took his advice! I started photography that summer and shot my first four weddings in 2022. After my first wedding, I knew this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life!
The day before my sophomore year of college, I switched my major to business with a photography minor. This was so far off from my original plan going into college, but I trusted that this was the path God was leading me down.
Throughout my college career, I grew more as a person than I ever thought possible and my business grew right along with me! At one point, I was working four jobs—retail, child care at my old high school, photography for my college, and running my own photography business. By the time my senior year arrived, I was able to quit all my other jobs and pursue my photography business wholeheartedly (at least with whatever energy I had left after my 18-credit semester load).
My weekends during my junior and senior years were filled with photoshoots and weddings, and I wouldn't have had it any other way! When I wasn’t shooting, I was usually planning or hosting events and gained so much experience with working with large groups of people (a good skill to have when working in the wedding industry)! Despite the busyness of that season, I truly loved it with all my heart! My love for people and building relationships grew (the extremely introverted freshman-year me would NOT have believed it), and so did my love for God.
After graduating in May 2024, I got married to my high school sweetheart, who has been my biggest supporter from day one. He has second-shot many weddings with me and plans to keep shooting in the future. I couldn’t have achieved what I did in college without his encouragement, patient love, and help keeping me on schedule!
Now, I’m doing what I’m passionate about! I’m a full-time wedding photographer, pouring my time into my business, my marriage, my relationship with Jesus, and my amazing clients. My clients have been the kindest couples on this earth, and I'm SO excited to pour into them more and more!
So, that's a little peek into my story, now I'd love to hear yours!
