Florida Elopements
You’ve envisioned a wedding that feels authentic to who you are, but the weight of expectations and the fear of disappointing others has you second-guessing. You know the big, traditional production isn’t for you, yet the thought of planning an elopement—deciding on the where, the how, and all the little details—feels overwhelming. That's why you're here :)

An elopement isn’t just an alternative; it’s an experience. 

Want to have your closest friends + fam there? Let's make it happen.
Want it to be a just us kinda thang? Let's go! 

It's your day.

As your Florida elopement photographer my job is to take the stress out of the process and help you design a day that’s seamless and courageously you. One where it will leave you and your loved ones in awe of your courage to do things your way.  Are you ready to start the greatest adventure of your life?!

This is what I do best. 
Prep. Plan. So you don't have to!

because you're not here to follow rules.

"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!"

Client Love

I've always been a sucker for epic love stories. I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, but I’m also all about adventure, breaking the rules, and doing things differently.

Photography lets me combine my love for people, romance, and living life to the fullest. Helping couples toss the traditional script and create an elopement that’s all about them? That’s what sets my soul on fire. If you’re ready to rewrite the wedding rulebook and make your day a one-of-a-kind experience, I’m here for it.

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! 

What if mother nature has a different plan for my session?
