What eloping in 2026 actually means
A Tampa elopement photographer’s take on the new era of wedding days
Eloping isnt about secrets anymore my friend. It's not about running away, unless you want to. It’s about the experience + freedom baby! To do whatevvver it is you want. Whether it’s your first “I do” or your second chance at love, eloping is about freedom + intention. Bring your closest people along or keep it just the two of you, or making it a weekend affair to have both. Either way, there’s no pressure, no rules, just a wedding day that's different than the rest :)
let me show you the way

Hiii, most call me Kathy, if your thinking about eloping in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Pete... I gotchu. I serve as a planning guide, and hype woman for couples who want a day that feels like the best day ever, intentional, and fun AF.
I had an intimate wedding myself and planned it from out of state, so I totally understand the overwhelm planning can be, ugh.
That’s why I love elopements... the freedom, let this be your permission to let it be just you two or invite your closest peeps, you can center your day about what makes you guys.. you, having a cool experience to call your wedding day vs trying to impress your aunt Susan.

"She made planning an elopement in just a month feel easy and stress free
My husband and I decided to elope during our Florida vacation (traveling from New Hampshire!), and to say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. After searching through countless photographers who didn’t feel like the right fit, I found Kathy and I’m so grateful I did.
From the start, she was incredibly helpful and kind. She gave us tips, vendor recommendations, and even walked us through the marriage license process. She told me not to worry, and she meant it. She made planning an elopement in just a month feel easy and stress-free.
I was especially nervous about taking professional photos, since we’d never done that before, but Kathy made us feel so comfortable. She gave great direction, was patient, and spent more time with us than she needed to. She truly went above and beyond.
Our photos turned out exactly how I imagined candid, beautiful, and full of joy. We’ve already said that when we return to Florida, we’d absolutely love to work with her again. Highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and supportive photographer!

...you're my kinda people
Because dude, me too! BUT so many couples think they’ll feel awkward in front of the camera, but eloping isn’t about posing... it’s about being present.
I guide you with natural poses + prompts so you loosen up, laugh, and forget the camera’s even there. When you're having fun that's where the magic is.

"..she knew exactly how to help us"
- E + M
Kathryn was incredible, beyond being our photographer and officiant, she felt like my right hand man helping me plan. I’m atrocious at planning and a bit too much of a free spirit, and she knew exactly how to help us create our perfect private ceremony. We love our photographs, and we would hire Kathryn again in the future for any other events. She’s amazing. 100/10
