Hi there! I’m Katy, a New York elopement photographer ready to travel worldwide to make your dream day come true!
I, maybe like yourself, never felt that the big wedding was for me. The stress, the drama, feeling the need to please everyone. I wanted no part of it. I wanted to marry the person I loved the most, without the input of everyone around us, and do it exactly the way we wanted. At the end of the day, we were not getting married for everyone else. We were getting married for us - to celebrate our love for each other. So instead of eloping at city hall, we began planning our own mountain top adventure elopement across the country. Our day was truly a dream come true for us. After I came down from the high from all the excitement and had time to process everything, I knew that I wanted other couples to feel this way too. Having experienced it myself, knowing how freeing and perfect the day was, and how much love, laughter, and downright fun we had, I immediately knew this was the magic I wanted to help create for other couples.
A whole new experience
Now, as an adventure-loving elopement photographer, I’m jumping from bustling city streets to scenic mountain trails, and snuggling up with my fur babies in between. But most importantly, I spend my days ensuring that my couples can enjoy an intentional, intimate elopement where fun takes center stage. With an approach as relaxing as reading a book on a rainy day, I consistently provide a stress-free experience while also creating a safe space for couples to commit to each other with hearts unguarded and free. And your love story is the next one I can’t wait to tell!
Because every couple deserves a wedding day filled with love, laughter, and the freedom to be entirely, unapologetically themselves.
my “Off Duty” Adventures
But enough about me! It’s your story I can’t wait to tell!
While it probably sounds like I am always snapping photos, I live a very colorful life once I put the camera down, too! If you catch me in NYC on my day off, you’ll probably spot me checking out a new dessert spot, watching a scary movie, or laying in the park with a good book (naps included). If my husband comes along, we’ll definitely be training jiu jitsu or running around the neighborhood with our pup! And if you spot me at a local ice cream parlor or bookstore please come say hi!
Blending Authenticity and Adventure to Create Unforgettable Memories
My mission is to capture heartfelt images that transport you back to every moment of the day you said “I do”. With a mindful approach to framing each shot, you can rest assured that your gallery will be as unique as you are. But I also believe in the power of spontaneity, in those unscripted moments of laughter and surprise that make your day truly yours. Imagine standing atop a misty mountain at sunrise, exchanging vows surrounded by an ancient forest, or laughing as you run hand-in-hand across a sandy beach. Blending adventure with genuine moments is the essence of my photography approach.
Meet The Team Behind the Scenes
Kyle, The Backbone
Anouk, The Comforter
Our baby girl, lovingly referred to as “Princess”, always maintains our work - life balance. She mandates brief breaks for cuddles and has an uncanny knack for scheduling unplanned mid-day naps to help us recharge and focus the rest of the day. She also has no sense of time and often tries to interrupt zoom calls so be on the lookout for her!
My handsome husband and perpetual co-adventurer. He’s the man behind the scenes, always ready to explore new places with me and jump in wherever help is needed. You can often find him working on his own projects or planning our next family adventure.
Toulouse, The Foodie
Daphne, The Energizer
Our newest hire and family member. Daphne is our source of endless energy and joy. She makes sure we stick to our fitness routine by insisting on daily walks and accompanying us on family hikes. She keeps our spirits high and our feet moving!
Our in-house nutritionist. He is diligent about meal times, reminding us three times a day that nourishment is key - though, he might be a bit biased since he’s the one most excited for food.
