About me

My name is Katy Regnier. I found my way into this crazy field of wedding and portrait photography after my own wedding to my amazing husband Ben. I love what I do and I'm absolutely 100% obsessed with documenting your memories in the best way that I know how. I love happy people in love, and I love capturing their smiles. If this sounds like you, I'm sure we'll get along famously! You'll learn a lot more about me by reading my blog than you would reading a bio... but just for kicks here are a couple of random facts you may not know about me:

  • I was born and raised in Southern California
  • I have been a vegetarian for over 16 years
  • I am a mother of twins
  • I love my family, the ocean, dogs, and burritos
  • I sing and dance in the kitchen


I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog...if you like what you see, feel free to  subscribe in a reader


Please stay tuned! {my life}

It’s finally here – MOVING DAY!! I know I haven’t talked about this much on the blog, I’m not really one for advertising big change before they happen. If you’ve contacted me lately to set up a session or book me for your upcoming wedding you probably got a message back saying that I was not available… so really you were one of the first to know. My family and I are moving to Boston for a year! Or rather not even a year, we’re back by June of 2011 so it’s not even a full 11 months. We’ll be back before you know it :)

My husband is going to be completing his master’s degree and as soon as he’s done we’re coming right back to southern California, so don’t you worry! I even have a fabulous wedding or two in the fall back in California so I won’t be gone forever. I will definitely continue to keep the blog updated while we’re gone with all the fall loveliness (can you believe it, we’re going to see a real FALL this year!) and all of the wonderful portrait sessions I have lined up out on the east coast so please do keep stopping by to see what I’m up to. I always love visitors :)

And one more sneak peek because I know I still haven’t shown you all the wonderful images from this wedding. They’re coming soon. As soon as I get my office unpacked in Boston!

A lovely Maui Vacation {my life}

July 26, 2010 – 10:02 pm

We’re home!! I suppose you were probably wondering where I’ve been for the last week. If you’ve emailed or called and left a message – don’t worry!! I’m getting back to everyone as quickly as I can. The fam and I were on a fantastic Hawaiian getaway vacation and I decided to make it a work-free trip. Lovely right?! Hawaii with toddlers is a little bit different than Hawaii as a teenager on a family vacation (think lots of bike rides and hikes) or Hawaii as a young couple (think lots of fruity drinks and drawn out sunset gazes) both of which are quite nice. With toddlers going on vacation is a bit of a marathon. How much can you do/see/experience while still attempting to maintain some semblance of a “schedule” for things like napping, bedtime and eating. I’m pretty impressed with how much we actually managed to do and how much fun we had at the same time. The kids were great on the flight and Ben and I even managed to get away for a date night one night. It was a marvelous trip. Here are a couple of quick vacation snapshots, just in case you need a vacation from your desk. Feel free to imagine yourself on ours.

We went to a goat farm (and learned that our less than 2 year old daughter loves goat cheese)

Went to the aquarium and farmers market and wore lots of cute matching Hawaiian outfits (well at least the twins did, not Ben and I :) )

Watched lots of gorgeous sunsets

Learned to love sunglasses and hats (is Amelia in sunglasses not the cutest thing EVER?!) and spent lots of quality time with family

Of course visited the beach and played in the sand

And did I mention the SUNSETS?! Sigh.

All in all an amazing vacation! I’m feeling refreshed and relaxed and excited to show you more of the gorgeous weddings and portraits yet to be blogged. Stay tuned!

Sneak peek – Jessica + bump {Los Angeles maternity photography}

July 3, 2010 – 5:34 pm

I know I *just* posted a sneak peek of Jenny and Jeremy’s wedding and I owe you a full blog post on that… but I just couldn’t resist one itty bitty sneak peek from a maternity session I did this afternoon.  Jessica is one of the most beautiful pregnant women I’ve ever seen.  She’s just glowing head to toe.  She’s also due in less than two weeks, which is just amazing.  She looks fabulous!
