About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Last update: September 2026

Hi, I’m Katelyn, the photographer behind Katelyn Potter Photography!

I’m an Edmonton-area wedding and elopement photographer specializing in warm, romantic, true-to-life imagery with a documentary feel. My approach is all about capturing your wedding day as it actually felt: the big moments, the quiet ones, the happy tears, the ridiculous laughs, and all the little in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

I know being in front of a camera can feel awkward, so you definitely don’t need to show up knowing how to pose. I’ll guide you when you need it, give you prompts that create natural movement and connection, and step back when the moment is already unfolding perfectly on its own. I’m also passionate about creating an inclusive experience and helping couples of every shape and size feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely good in their photos.

With 100+ weddings photographed, I bring more than a camera to your day. I help with timelines, lighting, family photo organization, location planning, vendor recommendations, and all those little logistical details that help everything run smoothly. I also work with a trusted team of experienced second photographers and have backup plans in place because your wedding photography is one part of the day you shouldn’t have to worry about.

I’m based just north of Edmonton and photograph weddings throughout Alberta, with travel available throughout Canada, including my home turf of Vancouver Island.

At the end of the day, I want you to have more than beautiful photos. I want you to look through your gallery years from now and remember exactly what it felt like to be there.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will hype you up, keep things organized, make photos feel way less awkward, and capture the beautiful chaos of your wedding day, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

Amazing. Incredible photos

She is amazing. From start to finish. Easy going, comfortable, easy to work with. We had fun the whole time. I told her what I wanted and MAN DID SHE DELIVER. Not just for my wedding photos but the free engagement photos as well. Honestly I wouldn't go to anyone else. Her prices were amazing, especially for her work. And considering the prices compared, she blows them out of the water. So glad I went with her. We got everything we wanted and more. All my friends and family love the photos (they're amazing) and I've had people tell me they regret not getting a photographer or getting a good one like mine after seeing our results!! I wanted romantic, moody, rustic. You can tell by the photos that that is just what I got... It only let me upload 20 photos. Well I had over 50 I could upload just of my husband and I, not including any other part of the wedding or the engagement photos. I told her my insecurities and she worked around it, edited what needed to be edited, and upon any request worked to deliver what I wanted. It's been over a year since my engagement session, and almost five months since my wedding and I'm always going back and admiring those photos. We had one blown up for the living room it was so gorgeous. And I've got like 20 new profile pictures on Facebook LOL. I can't say enough about her skill and charisma. If you're looking, look no further.

Katelyn is kind, professional, easy going and so creative.

We worked with Katelyn for our wedding and will recommend her to everyone we meet than needs photos done! The engagement photos were SO fun and the wedding photos were better than we could have imagined. Katelyn is so professional, quick to respond, easy going, and creative. She knows her stuff! We will be going back for all photo needs, she’s a dream to work with and she gave us the best memories from our day!

Fantastic, fair priced,and amazing customer experience

So let me tell you a story
I decided to propose to my lovely girlfriend on trip to tofino (Vancouver island) and wanted some photos to memorize the occasion.
I was recommended Katelyn by a friend who had previously had her for a wedding. Upon looking into it I noticed she was located in edmonton. Now incase no one is aware Vancouver island and edmonton are a travel away( 24 hours if you realy follow the traffic signs)
The main reason this was a issue is cause my proposal was going to happen in roughly a 48 hour time frame.
So I scheduled a consultation with her to see if I was able to push this proposal a few days off.
Well let me tell you she not only understood my situation she was able catch the first flight down and make it for the Original scheduled date.
She not only setup a bunch of poses for us but also helped me make the moment even more special by introducing a surprise pose so I could pop the question.

Needless to say I was beyond impressed and would recommend her to anyone and can't stress enough how grateful I am for her timely response and quick service.

Absolutely amazing!

Katelyn was so personable and made posing easy and fun instead of forced and awkward. The whole process from booking to choosing pictures was so pleasant and easy, well except choosing pictures was difficult because they were all excellent!! Highly highly recommend Katelyn and Ember Dawn Images ! Give them a call! You won’t be disappointed!

Katelyn Potter
Owner

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, and moved to the Edmonton area in 2015. I now reside in a small town in Sturgeon County, this small town girl has always had big dreams though. In high-school I always thought I would be a psychiatric nurse, then after I graduated I decided to take business but that still wasn't quite right for me. I have had a couple administration roles since then, but felt I needed a creative outlet and photography is just that for me. I got married in February 2022 and ever since then felt I needed to be in the wedding industry in some way, I considered event planning first. I had already been doing photography for a while as a hobby at that point but more recently decided to make it a career and my way into the wedding industry. I love, LOVE and my favourite part of photography is being able to capture your beautiful moments between you & your partner.

Today I am a photographer, podcaster, wife and dog/cat mom. I love hiking, camping and being outdoors. When I'm not outdoors, I love being cuddled up on the couch with my hubby watching horror movies & true crime documentaries!

I am beyond excited to capture your special moments!
