Let’s Make Your Elopement the Start of an Endless Adventure

If you’re ready to tie the knot but prefer hiking boots and a sunrise summit to high heels and a ballroom, then you’re in the right place! It may seem like your wedding day is still forever away, but before you know it you’ll be hiking to the top of that peak ready to say “I do”, and I’ll be right there with you. Consider me your elopement companion, here to document every giggle, every hand-squeeze, and every step of your adventure - and I promise, it’s going to be a beautiful ride! I’ll help you navigate through the process of how to elope, create a day-of timeline that runs smoothly, and be your personal paparazzi on this epic journey. I’m all for capturing the real you, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Real moments, candid laughs, and the raw beauty of your love set in the great outdoors. What could be better?

Hi! I’m Katy

I’m so excited you're here! With my trusty pair of trail runners and a camera in hand, I capture moments that will still make you giggle and sigh in happiness 50 years from now. My photography journey started in 2010 in the heart of New York City, where I goldilocks-ed my way through various forms of photography trying to find the one that was “just right” for me.

I finally found my missing piece when I shifted to capturing real emotions in portraits and weddings. The major turning point was my own magical adventure elopement on top of a peak looking out at Mt. Rainier in Washington state. Ever since then, I have been hooked. Now, I help adventurous couples like you navigate the exciting and new terrain of elopement planning with a guiding hand and love for all things outdoors - except mosquitoes…they suck. 

Can’t wait to get started? Get to know me a bit more on the About Me page and let’s start creating your unforgettable elopement story!

A unique, fun-filled elopement experience designed to transform your intimate moments into lifelong memories.

On the hunt for enchanting storytelling, vibrant imagery, and a fully personalized journey from beginning to end? I’ve got you covered! I have a knack for consistently delivering all three and so much more. By making your stress-free elopement experience a priority, I’ll guide you through the process for the state you choose to elope in, and help you with the small details like how to hike with a wedding dress. I can even recommend the best ice-cream spots near your elopement location - a perk from being an ice cream and adventure lover. Ready to kick start this journey?

Andrea

"Of all the stressful parts of planning a wedding, finding the right photographer was one of the things I dreaded the most. My now husband is a photographer and I knew it would be challenging to find someone who could meet his super specific expectations on a technical level, while having the calm, 'go with the flow attitude that I really wanted in all the people who we were collaborating with for our wedding weekend. Katy managed to be all that and more! She was professional but fun and put up with all the craziness we threw at her day-of. The pictures turned out great and we couldn't be more grateful."

Fennel & Sara

"Katy was a breeze to work with- very good at giving directions and positive reinforcement, especially with two people who are very camera shy. Not only was Katy professional and welcoming throughout the entire process, but her attention to detail and ability to capture the perfect moments led to some of our favorite pictures as a couple. We’ve recommended Katy to family and friends and will definitely be booking her again in the future!"

Megan & Dan

"Working with Katy was simple from start to finish. She had ideas when we were at a loss and was friendly and personable, putting us both at ease when neither of us is particularly photo-forward! We loved working with her and would do so again in a heartbeat."

Brian

"I am thrilled to say that the surprise proposal was absolutely perfect and we could not be happier. Katy did a phenomenal job scouting the area and picking amazing places for the pictures. My now fiance was completely shocked when I popped the question and there wasn't a single issue during the entire shoot. Katy was professional, funny, kind, courteous, and just amazing overall."

Nicholas

"I hired Katy to capture photos of me proposing to my long time girlfriend. Katy took the time to video chat with me for an hour from the spot 2 weeks in advance. She gave great advice regarding the best location on the street to do it and how to position ourselves to get the best shot. She made the experience so enjoyable for the both of us. Every picture she took was so good, we wound up buying a digital picture frame so we could see each of them daily on a loop in our living room. We could not have been happier with her artistic ability and level of customer service. I cannot recommend her enough!"

Chloe

"Katy made us feel so comfortable throughout the photo shoot and was so great at getting our daughters attention who was 6 months old at the time. She was very professional, creative, personable and easy to work with. The quality of her work was beyond expectation! She is a photographer that pays attention to all the little details and brings your vision to life!"
