Hello

Meet Katy

Hi there!

I am a Bend, Oregon-Based Wedding Photographer & Wedding Videographer, serving the Pacific Northwest, California, and Beyond. I think weddings are incredibly special, and I love telling couples’ unique stories on digital media, 35mm film, and super 8 film (filmed on motion picture film cameras from the ’70s).

My art career began in 2007 while working in a darkroom, and as a result, my work is heavily influenced by fine art analog photography. I love intentionally composing each image and experimenting with light and movement.

I’ve lived all over the U.S. from PA to WA to Hawaii, and I’m happy to call Oregon my home for the past 8 years, and the PNW home for 10 years! I value the importance of social justice issues, spending time in nature, and learning all the things (psychology, philosophy, sociology, etc.).

What matters most to you?

Imagine yourself 5, 10, 25+ years into the future, looking back at your wedding photos and your wedding video? What is most important to you? Grandma’s big smile? Your parents’ heartfelt speeches? Glances from your wife/husband/partner? Reliving how you felt during that special time in your life?

Your first call with me will begin with a tailored consultation, diving into your unique love story, wedding vision, and what is most important to you. Once we start working together, we’ll plan out the details, ensuring a low stress day filled with genuine, candid moments as well as some guided posing.

You can add-on an optional engagement session for wedding invites, photos for your reception guestbook, and to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day!

Rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and full weekend coverage are options as well, if the days are available.

On your wedding day, I am there every step of the way, capturing the spontaneous moments, glances, smiles, hugs, and tears, from the anticipation of getting ready to the celebration. I’m here to help bustle your dress, fix your hair, tell you where to pin the boutonniere, and support you in any way I can to help you look and feel your best!

After the celebration, each photograph undergoes meticulous editing, resulting in a curated gallery that tells your unique love story. Each video and audio clip is sifted through to piece together the narrative of your day, and paired with carefully chosen cinematic music.

Testimonials

“We feel so very lucky to be able to rave about our wedding photos. (Who is lucky enough to be able to do that?!). Katy photographed our outdoor adventure wedding and was the perfect person for the job. She communicated clearly, showed up early, and went above and beyond. She fit in with our family and friends seamlessly and was able to capture little moments of magic throughout the day. And the photos……far far exceeded our wildest expectations! Everyone who has seen our photos are amazed at how brilliant they are. I cannot say enough great things about Katy. I highly recommend her for your special day if you are lucky enough to be able to book with her.”

Dorothy Penaloza, MD

“Katy Nevinsky Photo & Films was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Katy was fun to work with and made the planning process a breeze. Her passion for her craft is evident in the beautiful, technically perfect pictures she captured of our special day. Katy worked so hard during our event to ensure she got all the important moments on camera. We are thrilled with our previews and would recommend Katy to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to capture moments to remember for the years to come.

Rebecca H

“Katy helped me and my husband photograph our elopement in Sisters, Oregon. I cannot understate how professional, prepared, and kind she was. Katy took the time to understand what my husband and I wanted to capture about our special moment, and then went above and beyond to come up with ideas, poses, and locations. We’re forever sincerely grateful. <3

Kelley Kimsey

“I’m SO glad we found Katy Nevinsky! Since day 1, she went above and beyond for us, by scouting cool places for engagement photos and going to our wedding venue (without even being asked!) to seek the best places & time of day for lighting. This helped tremendously with planning. Katy is so professional, friendly, easy-going, and the quality of her work is simply unmatched. She is a great listener and she clearly knows what she’s doing. I’ve never liked so many photos of myself – and I love all of the ones she’s taken! We will continue using Katy as our photographer for important life events, as well as fun photo shoots for years! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

Jesse Hastings

“Katy was so amazing! All of the pictures she took for our engagement and wedding are so spectacular we can’t stop looking at them! Katy is so professional and amazing at what she does I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for more photos.”

Sophia Hines

“We feel so lucky to have found Katy as our videographer. While we were on our honeymoon she sent the link to our wedding video and we got to relive the day through her exquisite footage and editing. Everyone who watches it immediately asks (while wiping away their tears) “WHO was you videographer?!” Katy has an incredible eye and ability for storytelling that encapsulated our special day better than I could have hoped for! Recommend 10/10”

Pinto Adhola

My husband and I just finished watching our wedding video and it was phenomenal!! We absolutely loved the quality, Katy really made the most of all our footage! She highlighted the sweetest moments of our day! Her incredible attitude made her a gem to work with… I am in love with her work. The wedding video she created for us was the very best money spent for our wedding. She went above and beyond what we expected & I hope this is not the last time we work with her. Brides, I highly recommend Katy Nevinsky’s videography.

I’d like to add one more thing – Katy is the Tony Robbin’s of wedding/ video services, in my opinion. She over delivers and is absolutely selfless when it comes to service. Your personal touch has made all the difference, Katy. Thank you thank you thank you 🫶

Keila Perez

“Katy is incredibly knowledgeable, not only in photography, but in many other areas of practice beyond the wedding industry. I believe this eclectic knowledge base enables her to see the bigger picture (pun intended) and planfully ensure that the most precious moments and elements of a couple’s wedding are captured! She’s always thinking several steps ahead, and always comes prepared. As an event planner, I personally appreciate her communication style which is very clear, thorough, and direct! Overall, Katy is an excellent photographer and a truly kind person to work with!”

“Katy photographed my wedding and made it look like something from a fairy tale. She took each photo with such care that each and every shot is stunningly beautiful. She is so easy to work with and had tons of ideas for poses and locations. I’m so glad I chose her as my photographer!”

Caitie Hinchey

“Katy is a real artist! We had Katy as our wedding photographer back in 2014, and I have absolutely no regrets. I cherish our wedding photos very much and look at back at them every year on our anniversary. Katy had all kinds of ideas and tricks, and such a wonderful artistic eye!”

Julie Sinnamohideen

Katie shot our engagement photos last minute, at a totally new to her spot, at night, in 50mph winds! She handled it all with grace and humor and the photos turned out phenomenal! We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Ariella Hubbard

“Working with Katy was so rewarding! I highly recommend booking her for any occasion or portrait session. Her confidence and creativity was reassuring and the variety of equipment she used impressive. My fiancé and I booked our engagement shoot with her and honestly did not expect to love our pictures as much as we do. This was our first professional shoot and Katy helped us to feel at ease, she utilized ques to direct us into postures and poses that look absolutely amazing! Despite freezing temperatures, she was able to capture our moment flawlessly. We are so happy and satisfied!!

Jamie Milletary

“Katy is an absolute miracle worker. We were shooting during a wind storm in what felt like sub-zero temperatures, and despite our cheeks being frozen in place, she made our pictures look straight out of a fairy tale. 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone. If you’re looking for someone kind, direct, professional, and who can make even the most camera shy of us feel right at home— you found your gal!”

Jackson Solomon

“Katy is the sweetest and so organized. Her attention to details does not go unnoticed. She also brings such a fun vibe to the day and will keep you smiling and laughing, even in 90 degree dry heat in the dead sun! Highly recommend working with her! So much talent!!”
