I want you to look back on your photos in
50 years and say “that was totally us”
I want you to pause for just a moment and ask yourself, “What does our love really look like?” If you could imagine the best day ever, from sunup to sundown, dedicated solely to celebrating you and your partners love, what would you do? Where would you be? Who would be there with you? What do you want this most special day to feel like?
Keep that picture in your mind — because that’s what I’m here to help you create! A wedding day that will allow you to savor every moment, value each other and feel the joy of every single part of your love in the most beautiful of places. That’s the power of elopements! You only get one day to choose the adventure of your dreams, so let’s make it the best one yet!
Anything. Anywhere. Any way.
There are no limits to love and no boundaries for your special day!
What matters to YOU?
It seems like a simple question, but it can quickly get complicated. So, I want to encourage you to keep it simple:
Your moments matter.
Your story matters.
Your love matters.
Does stress matter? Does family drama? Does tradition matter more than having a once-in-a-lifetime adventure together?
It’s your ONE day. How do you want to remember it?
It’s your best day ever, i’m here to keep it that way
Connection and authenticity are what I live for — and what better way to live those out than spending my days with the most amazing couples on an epic adventure to embody their most genuine love story? The best part? Capturing legacies through photography and helping you relive those sacred moments over and over again.
I became an elopement photographer because I believe that everyone deserves a wedding experience that intentionally, authentically and radically reflects them — because how you get married matters! Elopements aren’t a second-rate, lesser version of getting married. They’re a powerful, emotional and deeply profound and meaningful experience. And that’s why I’m here — to capture your love story the way it deserves to be told.
What is an “elopement”?
When you hear the word “elopement,” what comes to mind?
In the past, elopements often meant running away in secret to get married, usually because of disapproving opinions. But today, the term elopement means so much more.
An elopement means getting to choose a different kind of wedding day experience.
A deep, intentional celebration of love. An authentic reflection of your relationship. It means having a day spent the way YOU want it to — not worried about what everyone thinks you should do or because “tradition” says so.
It means creating a space for meaningful conversation with your partner.
It means crafting a day you will enjoy every second of — from beginning to end. A day free of stress and full of excitement, fun, and love. The beauty of eloping is getting to be fully and authentically yourselves. Getting to feel every emotion deeply, without judging eyes. Being fully present with your partner and just savoring your love for one another.
Beautiful Reminders that
The experience matters
To me, your elopement day it’s not just about taking beautiful photos. It’s about ensuring your day feels like the most authentic experience you and your partner could have. To slow down, spend time together connecting with one another and get lost in the magic of it all.
You deserve to feel exactly how you always dreamed to–to take the time to feel every single moment – big or little – no rush or stress, no list of things you need to do or pressures from tradition.
So if you need me to pick up your favorite cup of coffee before our sunrise hike, encourage you to leap into the lake in your dress because you told me it was always a dream (there’s no sneaking out of this one, sorry!), or hold your hair while the wind whips around so you can perfectly reapply lipstick–I’m there.

Here’s What It feels like to have me along for the ride
Please, do yourself a favor and book Katie as your elopement photographer!
Choosing her for our day was one of the best decisions we made for our entire day. We live in North Carolina but wanted to choose a location in Oregon or Washington. While this could have been a stressful experience, Katie made it so smooth. Our photos are incredible – Katie captured us and our personalities perfectly. The day of, ur guests raved about Katie’s organization and ability to stay on top of everything that was going on. I’m so glad that we will have these photos to show our families, friends, and future children. We could not have made a better choice with using Katie as our photographer.

I would 12/10 recommend Katie for your big day!
Katie was incredibly professional and communicative throughout the whole process and checked in regularly the months leading up to our elopement date. On the actual day she was fun (even at 3am when we started hiking) and made us feel super comfortable being photographed. She strikes a great balance between giving direction and helping us find range in poses, but also allowing the poses to come organically from us. Our final images came out better than I could have imagined and really captured us in an authentic way.

Hiring Katie for our wedding and engagement photos was easily the BEST decision that we made for our big day!
My husband and I had quite a few setbacks during the planning stages of our wedding- COVID, having to reschedule our wedding multiple times, canceling our large wedding and eloping, and weather challenges. With each occurrence, Katie was flexible, understanding, and always had a plan of action to put us at ease. She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple to really make sure your personality shines and you get the exact vibes that you want! She came in as a photographer but left us as a great friend.
Summer + Eric
We are the luckiest couple to have had the chance to have had her as our photographer!
I can’t thank Katie enough for everything she did for Tim and I. Thanks to her, we had our dream elopement in our dream place with a dream team! I will forever be thankful. Everybody told us that the photos could not have represented us better and I 1000000% agree! She was able to capture who we really are and that is all I could have ever wanted. The photos are obviously perfect but the way she made us feel is probably my favorite part about our experience with her!! We love Katie! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Anais + Tim
I am SO thankful we had Katie by our side!
Being a bride during Covid times was not ideal. Our plans changed 2 weeks before we were supposed to get married when we decided to elope instead. When it came to our elopement, she helped us slow down and think about what our ideal day would include and how we wanted it to feel. Her advice helped us connect and experience our day together in a way that felt relaxed, truly meaningful and most importantly – fun! she was the best investment and I will always be grateful for all that she did to make our last-minute elopement so special and for the images we will be able to cherish forever. We feel so blessed to know Katie and can’t wait to have excuses to take more photos with her!
