Hastings wedding specialist capturing authentic, editorial-led wedding photos. Katie blends documentary storytelling with relaxed direction and optional 35mm film for timeless images.
Katie Rogers Photography is a Hastings-based wedding specialist focused on creating honest, emotive wedding photography that tells the story of your day. Katie approaches each wedding with a documentary-led eye and an editorial sensibility—seeking the small, unscripted moments while shaping beautiful frames that sit comfortably in a wedding album or on a wall. Why choose Katie? Her work is grounded in calm, unobtrusive storytelling. Rather than forcing poses, she builds gentle rapport with couples and guests so real emotions surface naturally. The result is imagery that feels personal and unforced: laughter, quiet exchanges, joyful chaos and the tiny details that make your wedding uniquely yours. Katie’s editorial background gives her a strong sense of composition and an instinct for light, which she uses to elevate candid moments into images that feel both authentic and refined. How she works: Katie favours a relaxed, collaborative approach. Pre-wedding conversations focus on what matters most to you—timings, important people, and the moments you want preserved—so the photography fits seamlessly into your day. On the wedding day she blends into the background to document the flow of events, stepping forward when needed for considered family groupings and elegant couple portraits. For couples who love the tactile quality of film, Katie offers 35mm film techniques alongside her digital work, giving a timeless, cinematic option for select images. Katie also shares her craft through occasional workshops and an editorial portfolio that informs her wedding work, but her core expertise is wedding photography. Her priority is always to create a relaxed atmosphere where couples can be themselves, resulting in a gallery that looks and feels like the day you lived. If you’re planning a wedding in Hastings or the surrounding areas and want wedding photography that combines documentary honesty with an editorial eye and a love of film textures, Katie Rogers Photography is focused on capturing your day with care, clarity and heart.
