as your tampa elopement photographer
i know you want something smaller.
You just don't want it to feel like less.
A smaller wedding gives you room to do more with the day.
Maybe that's private vows and a sailboat at sunset.
Maybe your family joins you for the ceremony before you disappear together for cocktails and dinner.
Maybe it's just the two of you checking into a beautiful hotel, exploring somewhere new, and making an entire day out of getting married.
The guest list can be small.
The experience doesn't have to be.
"Live our wedding day..."
...We got to actually live our wedding day and I think that's something so many couples don't realize they'll value until it's over...
JENNA + HAYDEN
You don't need to have the whole thing figured out.
Where do we even start?
You might know you want something smaller... but then come the questions:
Where do we go?
What do we actually do all day?
How many hours do we need?
Can family come for part of it?
How do we make it feel like a wedding without turning it into a big a*s event?
Bring me alll the questions + ideas.
I'll help turn them into an actual day.

Kathryn was the absolute BEST photographer i could have picked for my elopement! I told her I wanted candid, stress free, natural and fun and that’s EXACTLY what we got! She did absolutely everything, from getting to know my husband and I to creating a vision board for the whole day to helping me pick beaches and restaurants. She is the full package, I cannot recommend her enough. It was just like hanging out with a friend for the day, it was amazing. i cannot wait to take a trip back to Sarasota and meet up with her again!

MORE THAN A TAMPA ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
heres how i can help
We start with you... how you like spending time together, what kind of places you’re drawn to, and what would make the day feel exciting.
Then we build around that.
Timelines. Travel. Logistics. Permits. Vendor recommendations. Location scouting. Backup options.The things you don’t know to think about because you’ve never planned an elopement before.
Enough structure to make everything work.
Enough breathing room to actually enjoy it.
My approach is candid, cinematic + guided when you need it.I’ll step in when direction helps and back off when something real is already happening.
You’ll get beautiful portraits without spending your wedding day performing for the camera.
The goal isn’t to make your elopement look like an incredible experience. It’s for it to actually be one.
IM PART OF CREATING THE EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
cinematicc approach
planning guidance
experience design
Listen, photography matters, but the experience comes first. Before the wedding day, I help you think through the places, activities, logistics + legalities + details that will make the day feel like something you genuinely want to be part of not just something that photographs well.

" I gave her a few ideas...she rolled with them creating a 6 hour adventure!"
Kathryn rocks! When looking for an elopement photographer, I had one vision in mind have fun and make the day about us. She created my vision. She helped from the very start, I gave her a few ideas I had and she rolled with them creating a 6 hour adventure! I was worried 6 hours of "just" photos would feel like a long day or a chore but she made it feel like it was just the two of us enjoying our day. Thank you again for not only the amazing experience but the AMAZING photos!!

Tampa Elopement Photographer
Your Sarasota + Tampa elopement photographer, professional idea person, live music chaser, sentimental af + the kind of person who will absolutely remember the random little thing you told me months ago + somehow work it into your wedding day.
I met my husband on a cruise, building a pretty rad life together, and somewhere along the way realizing the memories I care about most are rarely the perfectly planned ones. They’re the weird little in between moments like...
The song you both scream in the car.
The drink you always order.
The place that means something for a reason nobody else would understand.
The story that makes zero sense until you know the two of you.
Those are the things I pay attention to when we’re building your elopement.
Because I don’t want to give you somebody else’s version of a “cool wedding.” I want to help you create one that feels unmistakably yours.
The day becomes a story you tell. And I want your photographs to bring you right back into it.

"It felt like we were huggin a lifelong friend"
Kathy has this rare gift of making an elopement feel both wildly adventurous and deeply peaceful at the same time. By the end of the day it didn't feel like we were saying goodbye to someone we hired. It felt like we were hugging a lifelong friend.

Worried you’ll feel awkward in photos?
I gotchu
You don’t need poses. This is NOT a photoshoot. This is an experience. You need direction that feels normal. I’ll guide you with movement + prompts so you loosen up, laugh, and forget the camera’s even there. When you're having fun, that's where the magic is.
And the planning? I take care of the overwhelming parts so you don’t spiral down Google for weeks. You just show up with your person. I’ll help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully in the moment.

"Made us both feel
comfortable and seen"
We can’t say enough good things about Kathryn! There are a lot of options when choosing your photographer but Kathryn’s website and portfolio is what stood out from the beginning. What you see on those things is what you get on the day of your wedding! She is so warm and intentional that we never felt rushed or uncomfortable when taking our photos. We had so much fun on our elopement and because she plans the timing and flow of the day we never felt stressed.
I would recommend her to anyone especially someone looking to make their elopement care free, fun and unique. She is also the ultimate hype girl and made us both feel comfortable and seen when taking professional photos is something both out of our comfort zones. Seriously still can’t get over how amazing these turned out and how cool she made us look!! We are so thankful she was able to capture our day and that we choose Kathryn.

"I don't remember posing..."
I don't remember posing. I remember laughing, puddle jumping, the quiet moments. Her prompts never felt awkward or forced, they simply gave us a reason to be ourselves.

Client Love
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!
BECKY + TROY
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.
