County Kerry, Ireland

"They say a picture is worth a thousand words… for us, Kate’s photographs are worth trillions"

 Every single one in our huge gallery captures ALL of the magic and beauty of our day, without compromising one little bit on REALNESS. Kate travelled to southwest Ireland to capture our wedding in Waterville, Co. Kerry. All of the planning, communicating, and dreaming with her truly blew me away. Although we were in a fairly remote village, just like clockwork, there she was in this incredible location ready to spring into action! Her sense of adventure and fun was also clutch - from row boats to ruins (and bravery around angry sheep) she was 100% game to make some extra special photos happen in a tough-to-get-to-spot! She has such an incredible way of being present, but also blending in. Everyone knows weddings can be ultra expensive, and there are so many decisions to be made. Couples have to think hard about where they want to invest and how many elements they want to incorporate. When it came to photos, we were on the fence. Then I found Kate. I was completely and utterly mesmerized by her work. I knew she would be my girl - and she WAS in every way! I am SO happy we let Kate into our inner circle and made her and her talents a big part of our day. If her work is resonating, do not think twice. Lock her down!!!

Why Hire a Photographer Who Specializes in Elopements?

an adventure

When You Can have 

Elopements move differently than traditional weddings.







Hiring an Elopement Photographer who understands hiking permits, sunset timing, privacy, and how to pivot when the weather shifts is everything.

I photograph elopements because I believe smaller weddings create deeper memories. My approach is calm, prepared, and experience driven so you can stay present.

This is your permission to do your wedding differently.

LOCATION: Costa Rica

LOCATION: Vancouver Island


The light changes.
Timelines are flexible.
Weather matters more.
Experience matters more.
