If you're ready to flip tradition on it's head and craft a wedding day that screams you with the perfect amount of intimacy and fun, you’ve come to the right place. This isn’t about cookie cutter ceremonies or playing it safe... NOPE it’s about taking the road less traveled and having an elopement experience of your dreams.
That’s where I come in! As your Florida elopement photographer I’ll handle the planning, location scouting, and every little detail so you can focus on what matters: showing up, being present, and saying “I do” in a way that feels right.

"Kathy is a master of her craft! She photographed my husband and I after we eloped in Downtown Tampa, and she was such a pleasure to work with. The photos are beautiful, amazing quality, and she was so kind. Absolutely 10/10, she'll capture your special day and you'll look and feel beautiful the whole time!"

Some tid bits about lil’ ol’ me..
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself
- Exchanging vows in an intimate setting with your closets fam + friends at a cool beach or mountain side airbnb + later that day having a "just us" bad ass adventure.
- Ocean side vows at sunset followed by a swim + salty kisses
- Zip lining through a national forest and chillin at a spring
- Rockin' out at a concert after the ceremony + toss in a tattoo session
- Renting a boat with a captain and cruisin sippin margs at sunset
- Exploring cool historic city while brewery hoppin'
- Camping, bonfire lit first dance + smores for desert
"I Do"

"Kathryn Johnson is the best of the best! My husband and I recently got our entire gallery back from our wedding and we could not be more in love with every single photo she took! Kathryn captures moments throughout the day that feel warm, natural, and when looking through the photos, it feels like you are reliving the day over again. She not only went above and beyond with taking photos but also helped make sure we were on schedule throughout the wedding. She is professional, timely, organized, and a wonderful person to be around! Highly recommend her to be your wedding photographer!" - Denise
"SHE IS PROFESSIONAL, TIMELy, ORGANIZED, AND A WONDERFUL PERSON TO BE AROUND!"
Goin’ with the flow is what life is about and you are the easy going type. You kick off your shoes + get your dress a little messy, no big deal, you're all about the experience so you embrace each moment. Hey, maybe it'll turn out better than originally planned but if shit hits the fan well then hello to plan b.
You can embrace unpredictability
Do you have an old box filled with photos + birthday cards from friends + your boo because nostalgia gets the best of you? So you value not only experiences but the art of photography. Girl... SAME.
Are you a sappy sap and sentimental too?
This is a once in a lifetime love + you wanna shout it off the roof tops because you finally found your freakin' forever. Lovers and best friends. Feels good right? You believe your day is really about marriage, commitment, vs people pleasing and showing off. You are my kinda love birdies - let's do this!
Your partner is your best friend.
And I am here to say f*ck yes you can have it your way. I am here to give you permission to do it your way, on your terms, in your style, and to support your elopement / intimate wedding day vision, fully! Let's freakin go!
You realize this is YOUR day + you want it your way
You want to trust your photographer to guide you through some poses but mainly direct + prompt you like you're in a rom com, feeling comfortable where you can let loose + be yourself. Hii I’ll be your third wheel with a sweet camera in hand + my promise to you is you no boring ass poses or awkward-ness evvvver. I gotchu you.
You hate stiff prom poses but feel awkward with a camera in your face
