WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

An experience centered around connection and authenticity

Mace Wedding Photography was built on a simple belief: that the photographs from your wedding day should be the most treasured objects you own. I create fine art imagery that is organic, timeless, and entirely your own — made to be printed large, framed with care, and handed down to people who weren't there to witness the day. Based in Southern California. Available for destination weddings worldwide

Kaitlin

Owner | Lead Photographer

Kaitlin Mace is a fine art wedding photographer known for documentary storytelling and an editorial eye shaped by years of unexpected experience. Before she turned her lens toward wedding photography full time, she worked as a technician in a busy trauma center - a background that permanently changed how she reads people, spaces, and the moments between moments.

She photographs a limited number of weddings per year, offering both digital and film coverage to couples who want more than documentation. Her process begins weeks before the wedding day: learning the couple's story, understanding the emotional arc ahead, and building a visual plan around what is genuinely true about them - not just what is scheduled. The result is a body of work that looks less like event coverage and more like a film, stilled.

Kaitlin is based in Southern California and is available for destination weddings worldwide, with a particular draw to Europe, where she and her husband are building a second home base in the UK.
