this is your permission slip
You know big weddings never felt like your vibe.
You want your elopement to be rooted in your story
Not a photoshoot, not like all your other friends weddings
...but an intentional unique experience
Let's dream it up together
to do things differently
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!

Just a mountain girl, in an ocean world
A Tampa based photog with a rebel spirit, a little hippy soul, and a whole lot of heart. And I’m here to show couples that eloping isn’t just for the mountains out west Florida is a wildly underrated place to say “I do.”
I started my photography journey living in Colorado after moving to Tampa to be closer to family and the more I explored, the more I realized Florida has epic beach sunsets + ocean adventures, magical springs, lush greenery, unique rooftops + breweries, and tucked away spots that feel nothing like the “Florida” people imagine aka only beaches and it liiiiit me up my friends.
Life’s too short, honest + true love is rare, and your day shouldn't feel like all your other friends weddings. You have the freedom to do things differently. Soooo now I help couples create intentional, fun af Florida elopements + intimate weddings that feel true to them.

working with me means
my philosophy
Experiences last longer than centerpieces
Genuine comfort creates magic
this isn't about pretty pictures
Love Is in the details
Money spent on experiences is never wasted. Whether you’re traveling in or local, Florida gives you the freedom to create memories, adventures, and “hell yeah, this is us” experiences you’ll actually remember… not details you’ll forget the next day.
I show up like a friend, don't mind my potty mouth, dancin' like an idiot, being my chatty Kathy self but most importantly real... so you can relax and be yourselves too. When you feel comfortable, the walls come down, the awkward fades when you feel like we're homies. That’s where the magic happens.
I’m here to help you actually feel your day, not just pose through it. My true to life yet cinematic editing keeps the colors, the emotion, and the energy exactly as you lived it. I guide you with natural prompts that bring out your connection so you loosen up, have fun, and forget the camera’s even there. The sentimental, real + candid story of your day is what I am after.
I'm a sappy sap... the heirlooms you carry, the handwritten vows... paying attention to the way your eyes light up when you see your person, the quiet touches, the little in between magic most people miss. Those details deserve to be remembered because they’re the heartbeat of your story. And years from now, I want you to look back at your photos and feel every bit of it all over again.
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!!

THE VIBEZ
LOCATION
LOGISTICS + GUIDANCE
Kathryn is the only choice when it comes to hiring an elopement photographer. You are not getting just a photographer but a coordinator of your special day and someone who truly and deeply cares about all of her clients. She puts you and your spouse first and foremost and brings ideas to the table to make your day everything you envisioned and more. When I first spoke to Kathryn we planned our day and then weeks before our wedding day we had to change the location and the whole vision we had planned, but a phone call bouncing off new ideas, we came to an even better vision that completely captured me and my husbands love story. Kathryn is an artist as well as a photographer and I don’t think anyone could have done better for us, our love and our family we were able to share our day with. AND YES, you can elope with your closest friends and family. THANK YOU SO MUCH KATHRYN, you are the rockstar of elopement photography" - M + S
