Marin County Wedding Photographer for Redwoods, Headlands, and Views of the City
Marin holds more variety in one county than most regions manage in a state. Redwood cathedrals in Mill Valley. The Sausalito and Tiburon waterfronts with San Francisco glittering across the bay. The wild headlands, Stinson Beach, and the raw beauty of Point Reyes. Whatever landscape your wedding calls home, Marin gives you drama, and we know how to photograph all of it.
Kreate Photography, founded by Katie Monroe in 2008, has photographed more than 865 couples and families across the Bay Area and Wine Country over 18 years. Marin sits right between our Sonoma County home and San Francisco, and we have worked its coastline, redwood groves, and hilltop venues in every season.
Why Marin Couples Choose Kreate
We build honest connections, make honest photographs, and create genuine experiences. Our style is natural, emotional, and timeless, luxury without being stuffy and editorial without being overly posed.
