Your florida elopement should make you feel alive
5 fun facts about yo girl
barefoot on a beach at sunset, vows carried by the waves. Sipping craft cocktails and indulging in the best local eats, or even marking the day with matching tattoos. Tucked away in Florida’s wild jungle, palms towering as you say "I do."
Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of your favorite people, your elopement should be more than a ceremony— you deserve an experience. Share a few traditions with your crew, then slip away for an adventure, just the two of you. A total customizable day that honors what's truly important to you.
and heres why
let's do it
imagine this...
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

Good news friend! You don’t have to! Most couples I work with have never eloped before and worry about feeling stiff or staged in photos. That’s where I come in. Elopements are about experiences so when youre busy having fun theres no time to look awkward just blissed out. No vision yet? I’ll help you dream it and piece it all together. You know exactly what you want to do? Let's do it.
This will not feel like a photo shoot. The goal is for real, cinematic, and full of emotion imagery. Doin' fun activities and feeling every moment of your day is the magic. No forced poses or fake smiles. I use prompts that bring out your natural connection and help you relax, mix in some light direction for those badass, editorial magazine worthy shots, and document the rest of your day as it unfolds.

FAQs
How soon will I get my photos?
Yes I do. Makes life easier doesn't it?! To secure your date a 30% retainer is due. Then a payment plan is made, typically broken up into 5 monthly payments. The entire balance must be paid in full 30 days prior to your elopement / intimate wedding.
Do you do payment plans?
Unfortunately, I do not because picking the right vendor is something that's personal. Just like it's important that we are the right fit, the right vibe, it's important that you make that decision on other vendors as well. BUT I will provide a trusted vendor list for all the things, so it saves you time in researching and scrolling. Fun fact! I'm an ordained officiant - I can sign that paper and make it legal! :)
Do you book our vendors?
Heck yes, this is your day so if your vision is to have your closest friends + family there, let's do it! I can accommodate up to 30 guests.
can we invite guests?
Adventure and travel go hand in hand! All my travel is included for my elopements + intimate weddings within the state of Florida. If you are inquiring about an out of state elopement or intimate wedding please specify on the contact form!
Do you travel/ have a travel fee?
Think of me as your weather woman, I am always monitoring. Plan B will always be made. Keep in mind... December - March are the best months to elope here. April to May is still awesome but the heat and humidity is on the raise as are the showers so it's a little bit of a gamble. June - November is hurricane season and it's never a question if it will rain but when. We got this! What's life without a little risk!
