Florida elopement packages
Most couples want an elopement because they want it simple. The problem is the planning process doesn’t feel simple at all... the where, what, how and the pressure of being photographed creeps in.
I help you turn “we have no clue” into a clear plan and a calm, guided experience.
you get me, let's chat
if you don't know where to start, you're in the right place
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!

florida elopement photographer + Planning Partner
Showing floridas wild side... beyond the beaches
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.
heres more of my story
I’m not just here to take photos. I’m here to lead the process.
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. Eloping helps you to save money on the biggest wedding expenses, the formalities of a venue, food, booze for guests, table decor, etc. Instead you invest in an experience in a cool place + have epic photos
A lot of photographers show up, take pictures, and leave you to figure out the rest. I don’t work that way. You get a photographer + planning guide! I help you make decisions, build a realistic timeline, and guide you step-by-step so the day feels calm, fun and intentional.
I show up as myself, 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.
This isn't a multi hour photoshoot. This is a photographic story of your day. 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 photos are what we're after.
Heirlooms you carry, the handwritten vows... paying attention to the way your eyes light up when you see your person,the little in between magic most people miss. Those details deserve to be remembered because they’re the heartbeat of your story.
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!! A+R

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
"someone who truly and deeply cares"
don't take my word for it
... take theirs
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. - E+ M

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. 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 you can :) You have options, and there’s no “right” way to do this. Some couples keep it just the two of them, others invite a few of their favorite people, and some plan an intimate wedding with a small guest list. Typically, an elopement includes just the couple or up to around 10–15 guests, while an intimate wedding usually falls around 20–40 people. The beauty of it all? We design the day around what feels best for you, not a rulebook.
can we invite guests?
wait, so you're a planner too?
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!
I help you with the parts that usually feel overwhelming: figuring out where to elope or host your intimate wedding, how many hours make sense, building a relaxed timeline, navigating permits, and connecting you with trusted local vendors who fit your vibe. I curate thoughtful options so you’re choosing... not endlessly Googling.
If your intimate wedding includes more than about 20 people, I always recommend adding a day of coordinator. That way your family isn’t running around managing details, and you actually get to be present and enjoy the day. I work alongside coordinators seamlessly, I prep and plan and they execute day of, you get the best of both worlds... intentional personalized planning support to take planning off your hands and a smooth, stress free wedding day.
