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

Branko & Alison Married! {a Balboa Park wedding}

Branko and Alison were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Balboa Park. They opted to do a “first look” before the ceremony to make sure that we had plenty of time to take their portraits… and I just love the look on Alison’s face when she saw her groom for the first time all dressed up :)

The last few minutes before a ceremony when a bride is alone with her dad are always some of my favorites. I love to watch their interaction as they prepare to head down the aisle. Maybe becoming a parent has made me a bit sentimental… but I always imagine how emotional it must be for the parents giving their children away (sniff sniff). I am pretty sure I’ll be a basket case when my kids get married. Lucky for me I have a few dozen years to prepare :)

The first dance. So sweet!

This wedding had some of the most sincere and heartfelt toasts that I have heard in a long time. I love when the bridal party really takes time to think about what the bride and groom mean to them.

The maid of honor’s toast was sweet… but the best man’s speech may have been the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. He was so choked up he was having a hard time getting his words out and had to have his brother the groom come up to stand by his side. Now that is moving!

The father/daughter dance always kills me too. I’m such a softie :)

Branko and Alison congratulations! Your wedding was beautiful! I was so honored to be a part of it.

Paul & Neda {engaged!}

I cannot tell you how much I absolutely love all of these images.  Paul and Neda are two of my favorite people of all time.  Paul is one of Ben’s best best friends from way back when and Neda is his super awesome fiance.  They live in Texas but came out to pay us a visit and I was over the moon when they asked me to take some engagement photos for them.  I was secretly hoping I might be able to take one or two but to have them ask me to do a whole session?!  YAY!

We headed out to one of my favorite beachy spots just in time for sunset and with all of the beautiful southern California wildflowers in bloom.  Photographer heaven!  I had so much fun and I just love that their happiness is spilling out of each and every one of these.  I feel like I can hear them laughing just by looking at the pictures.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Busy is good, right? {my life}

Hello world, I am still here.  I am still busy (VERY)  I guess I just haven’t been very good about keeping you updated.  Here is the whirlwind version of what’s been going on for the last few months…

I took portraits of some ridiculously adorable babies and families (still yet to blog!)

and oh, did I mention my kids are now almost TWO?! when did that happen?! I’m pretty sure they’re the cutest 21 month old kids I know… but I might be biased :) they like to be tickled

they’re pretty much awesome.

So as you can see my life (and business) is busy (and fabulous all at the same time) and will continue to be so throughout the summer. I have three (!!) more weddings in June, non-stop action in July as well (including Ben’s brother’s wedding, woohoo!) and an extra special surprise in August that I’ll be filling you in on soon. I know I have said it before but I PROMISE that I will be blogging more regularly from here on out. Scout’s honor :)
