Hello, and welcome to the KJ Blog! I'm Katelyn James, and my husband Michael and I are a wedding photography team based in Richmond, Virginia. We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life!  Read more...

The Workshop Experience

  • June 2017 | Behind the Scenes

It’s hard to believe that we just wrapped up our second Two-Day in-person workshop in our new home. It just seems so surreal every time we welcome a new group of photographers, because this was our ultimate goal! We wanted to have land and live in the country, so that we could host workshops and friends and family, and never have to worry about parking, picky neighbors or where to do the styled shoot! This past Monday and Tuesday we hosted photographers from all across the country, and it was so wonderful!

Ryan + Britney

  • A Berkeley Plantation Wedding

We always said that whoever won over Britney’s heart was going to have to be one special man. We honestly couldn’t envision what he would be like. We had MANY talks about this in college. Would he love the same things Britney loved? Would he fit into their awesome family seamlessly? Was she going to meet him when she moved to NYC? What’s he going to look like?! I think we were all so interested in who Britney’s future husband was going to be because we knew that it would take a lot to win over her heart.

Brian + Casey | Engaged

  • Historic Church Hill Engagement Pictures

Well, I don’t know about you… but I’m loving these engagement sessions recently! They have been so beautiful and bright, and the light has been dreamy! This shoot is special because it has been a long time coming! I asked Brian how long they had been dating, and it has been over 6 years!! I remember those days! Michael and I dated for 8 years and so I know Brian and Casey have to be SO ready to start their new life together! We’ve known Casey’s family from our church, and even though Casey was at college during most of our years in youth ministry and we didn’t get to know one another until now, I’ve always thought she was so gorgeous!!
