About | Katch Silva

Oh hey,
it's me.

I'M KATCH

I live a simple life in a van with my man. I’m a rock climber, I genuinely laugh at dad jokes, and I feel pretty awkward describing myself.

I've been shooting weddings for 9 years and have found that I enjoy being truly intentional about how I direct and what I shoot.

Pssst!

IF I WASN'T A PHOTOGRAPHER

I'd be a rock-climbing, dirt-bagging nomad. So basically what I am now, minus money.

THE BRAIN FASCINATES ME

as does consciousness. In another life I would have loved to be a neuroscientist (& philosopher).

LIVING IN A VAN

Has been the one of best decision I've made. We've been on the road for 2.5 years now and I truly feel so at home doing it.

I PREFER TO OBSERVE

rather than to be the center of attention. I lean towards the introvert side of the spectrum, but I prefer not to label it. We're complex

I HAVE A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE

from the University of Pennsylvania. Major: Psychology. Minors: Math, Photography, and Statistics.

I DON'T LIKE TO WEAR SHOES

whenever possible & appropriate. So if you're cool with it, I may be barefoot for part of your wedding.

I WAS BORN IN COLOMBIA

I grew up on my grandparent's small coffee farm, and moved to the states when I was 9. English is my second language.

I LIKE TO READ NON-FICTION

Some recent favorites are: Waking Up by Sam Harris, How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, & Science in the Soul by Richard Dawkins.

I'M A KITTEN LOVER

I've been a foster mom to dozens of kittens throughout the years. If only I could keep kittens in a van...!

I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED

Happiness is in my mindset, and in the present moment. I think we should all work towards bettering our minds.

momma always said,
"you can tell a lot about a person by her friends"

So here are some photos of my weird-ass friends, my guy, and me, doing what we like to do in our spare time.
