yes! i'm in!
picture this... you wake up before the world is even awake in a gorgeous airbnb, you and your partner getting ready to go make the biggest promise and commitment of your life. you pick me up and we drive out to an epic location, hiking, maybe rappelling, jeeping or on horseback, the day is yours and you get to choose your adventure. we get to the top of a mountain, cliffside or beautiful alpine lake for your first look, soaking in the day to come. we head back to town to go swim or walk around, or maybe you packed a picnic or want to go jump in a river, or maybe we're in an epic national park and i'm your tour guide for the day. sunset comes and we head to another epic location where you get to promise to love, cherish and choose each other for the rest of your lives. the most incredible view laid out before you as you bask in the newly wed bliss ready to begin your life as a married couple.

i started this business to fuel my two passions- photography and adventuring. when i'm not photographing an elopement you can usually find me shredding a ski slope, at the gym or cozying up with a good book.
i'm here to help make your special day as epic as possible! from horseback riding to rappelling to everything in between, i'm here to help plan and document the adventure of your dreams! I can't wait to get started :)

more about me
What is an "elopement"?
an elopement is more than just running to the courthouse and signing a marriage license; it's an intimate and adventurous celebration of your love. it's about ditching the stress of a big event and focusing on what truly matters- each other.
imagine exchanging vows in a breathtaking mountain range, a serene forest, or on a secluded beach, just the two of you (or with a few loved ones). an elopement allows you to craft a day that's entirely yours, filled with the moments and adventures that reflect your unique journey together.

Why should you elope
Let's do this thing!
Authenticity over tradition
if the thought of a big wedding feels overwhelming or just isn't you, eloping gives you the freedom to create a day that celebrates your love story in a way that feels genuine and true.
Adventure awaits
with fewer guests and no elaborate planning, eloping allows you to fully immerse yourselves in the experience. you'll spend more time enjoying each other and less time worrying about what others think.
A day that's uniquely yours
want to wear hiking boots instead of heels? have a picnic instead of a reception? explore a hidden waterfall, or dance under the stars? eloping lets you tailor every detail to truly reflect who you are as a couple.
an elopement sounds like the perfect fit for you if...
+ your heart races at the thought of exploring new places and creating epic memories together
+ you cherish deep connections and intimate moments without the distraction of a large crowd
+ you crave a wedding experience that breaks the mold and captures your individuality
cannot wait!

when we decided to elope we wanted to make sure we found a photographer that really understood what we wanted. of course we wanted someone to document precious moments and memories, but ultimately we wanted someone who was down for an adventure! we loved how open and ready katie was on our very first video call to rappel down a canyon and go on our adventure with us. we never felt like we had to tone it down or hold back. truly, we felt so supported throughout this entire process and knew that katie was the perfect fit for us!

katie was the perfect photographer for our destination micro wedding in jackson hole wyoming. we found her on instagram and absolutely loved her photos. after reaching out and talking with her on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit. even though we had never done a professional photoshoot before, katie was very patient, professional and overall a pleasure to work with.
