I’m Katie, the founder of Kreate Photography.
After 15 years in the wedding industry, I’ve developed a diverse and talented team. We are luxury wedding and lifestyle photographers based in Northern California, serving Sonoma, Napa, and San Francisco.
Being an outstanding photographer is not just about creating outstanding images. For us, It’s about nurturing a connection with our clients that creates ease in front of the camera and trust in the process.
I’ve been photographing weddings, couples + families for 15+ years and love what I do.
My team and I are dedicated to authenticity and excellence. Our commitment to you and your experience is unwavering and begins with our very first interaction. We create an experience rooted in trust that helps you feel at ease every step of the way.
I take on a limited number of weddings per year, and I pour my heart into them. In addition, offering you one of my seasoned associate photographers means your experience will be personal and professional, and you’ll receive the timeless, fine art photography style that led you to Kreate Photography in the first place.
Working with Kreate Photography means your experience will be unforgettable, and you will be guided through every step of the photography process resulting in an easy, fun, and stress-free experience. Your images will beautifully reflect this phase of your life and what's most important to you. We cannot wait to connect with you and learn more!
Northern California is home to me and my free spirit wouldn’t have it any other way.
My photography career was born at a young age and has been sustained by passion and perseverance through all of its many phases. I shot my first wedding in Guatemala in 2007 and haven’t looked back. I’m humbled to say that I’ve been published in over 30 magazines, publications, and/or online blogs over the 15+ years and have maintained 250+ five-star reviews and counting (I will not settle for less!).
Fostering strong client relationships is the foundation of my business.
My commitment to you and your experience is unwavering and begins with our very first interaction. I believe that making an honest connection results in honest photographs. That is my mission as a photographer; your experience will be as unique as you are, and the images will reflect your story.
When I’m not behind the camera or in front of my computer, I am spending quality time with my husband, daughter, friends + family. Cooking and hosting dinner parties is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a painter and am obsessed with all things art + design. I cherish each one of my relationships, including the one I have with myself. Health, wellness, and adventure are top priorities for me and I experience those things through nature, yoga, travel, and love.
Love & Vulnerability
This form of art is a wild adventure. It allows my hands and my heart to work together, capturing the most powerful things in the world; love & vulnerability. “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope empathy, accountability, and authenticity.”
-Brené Brown
Say hello to my dream team!
I launched a female photographer team and expanded Kreate after years of cultivating strong personal + professional relationships with my photographers. Teamwork makes the dream work!
These talented women have collectively photographed 150+ weddings for me over the past 8 years. They all have years of experience and are not only skilled, they all have something extraordinary to offer.
Offering you one of my associate photographers means your experience is both personal and professional, and you receive the timeless, fine art photography style that led you to Kreate Photography in the first place.
As I mentioned before, the foundation of this business is client relationships. I believe that each and every person I work with should not only receive incredible images but impeccable customer service and communication throughout the process. You will receive all of the above when choosing to work with a member of the Kreate Team.
In addition to Kreate Photography, I own and operate Katie Monroe Photography, my commercial branch. I am a commercial, lifestyle, and brand photographer based in Sonoma, serving all of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I also have a coaching branch called the Kreate Collective. I am a photography business coach serving photographers worldwide. I empower photographers to build successful and sustainable businesses by offering valuable resources, high-touch online programs, and step-by-step guidance.
