Kathryn powers photography
Hi, I'm Katie!
Your go-to destination wedding and elopement photographer in the uk and beyond
I’ve been behind the lens for 15 years. I picked up my first camera as a kid while traveling with my parents. Even then, I wanted to hold onto the people and places that meant something. That’s still why I do this, because photographs feel like little time capsules.
These days, I’m based in Manchester, photographing weddings and elopements across the UK and Europe, and regularly working with couples planning from abroad.
Whether it’s a mountaintop ceremony on the Isle of Skye, a sunny wedding in Lake Como, or a quiet day in the Spanish countryside, I shoot with a relaxed, documentary style built on trust and real connection.
My Approach in a nutshell...
Relaxed, real, and never forced
I’m all about capturing things as they actually felt. The hugs, the glances, the “holy crap this is happening” energy. I blend into the day, keep things calm, and photograph the good stuff as it unfolds.
More than just your photographer
I help build your timeline, bring ideas, wrangle inspo pics, and keep things running smooth.
Photos you’ll actually love being in
Some couples vibe like they’ve been secretly rehearsing for Vogue. Others turn into baby giraffes the moment a camera appears. Either way, I’ve got you. I’ll step in when needed, give chill prompts, let you do your thing, or suggest something a little artsy if you're up for it. It’ll feel natural, relaxed, and more fun than you probably expect.
Family photos? Already sorted
We’ll make a solid list before the day. I’ll take charge, keep it moving, and get everyone back to the bubbles and cake as fast as possible.
35MM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Wedding days look pretty damn good on film.
There’s just something about 35mm film. The rich colors, the grain, the nostalgia, the little imperfections. Sometimes it feels like art.
Other times, it just has that something you can't recreate.
Film brings something different to your wedding gallery.
A little unpredictable, full of character, and honestly, it's just really fucking cool.
