About The Daydreamer Diaries

Behind the Camera

Thanks For Stopping By

I’m Katie

I am an Aries who thrives on adventure and spontaneity. You can count on me to be the life of the party and the biggest hype woman. My personal philosophy is romanticizing the hell out of life, from admiring breathtaking sunrises and celebrating the big and little moments through the day to chasing incredible sunsets.

I’m a hardcore believer in documenting and capturing memories in their most authentic form, as you would write in your diary. Your life is worthy of being captured with absolute authenticity and boldness.

Your existence is timeless, yet so completely unique. Humans are complex and incredible, and my craft is driven by the deep love of the human experience. My ultimate goal is to bring you back over and over to the intense bliss you felt when watching the sunrise during your elopement. I want your heart to swoon when you revisit the smiles of your loved ones dancing until you drop on your wedding day. I want to continuously melt your heart when looking back at moments of intimacy and love captured between your family. I want to remind you how much of a badass you are when we create kick-ass art. You set the vibe; I am here to bring your vision to life.

Humans are a divine collection of experiences and emotions. Let’s be bold, daring, and adventurous together by capturing those moments with ease and boldness.

Wedding and Elopement Photographer based out of Colorado Springs, CO and Dayton, Ohio.

Love notes

Elise Filliccia - Detroit Wedding Photographer

“When I first met Katie we actually were collaborating together on a wedding-themed editorial. I was impressed right away with her attention to detail, kind personality, and the creative ideas she had on the spot. She made everyone around her feel comfortable and at ease while lifting their spirits too! Any couple would be lucky to hire The Daydreamer Diaries!!”
Scott + Kathy - Kentucky

“When we hired Katie we expected high quality photos + videos. What we did not expect was the value she and this service would bring to our small business. Our clients noticed the upgrades and it really helped us to stand out in the local market. Katie is a blast to work with and our customers were always excited to come in on a day she was here getting content for us. She has the best personality and overall the entire experience was great.”
The Jaggli Family - Tacoma Washington

“We flew Katie out to Washington because we wanted a wild and adventurous session in the lush, scenic forests of the Pacific Northwest that we had grown to love. Despite not being native to the area, Katie came well informed and gave us a full run down on the risks of the trails we were hiking, informed us about ethical hiking habits and leave no trace principles, and was able to navigate the trail and forest extremely well. It was easy to see that Katie places her heart and soul into her work and photography. The results of our adventure elopement were flawless: elopement photos that perfectly captured our lifestyle and love.”
