Elopements & Small Weddings


From the intimate vows shared during an elopement to the joy-filled celebration of your wedding day, I specialize in capturing the moments that make your love story uniquely yours. Whether you're exchanging promises in a quiet mountain meadow, saying “I do” on a sun-kissed beach, or jumping into the ocean in celebration with loved ones, every wedding is a new adventure. Whether you dream of an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration surrounded by family and friends, I’ll be there to document the emotions, the laughter, and the connection you share.

“Katie was incredible in everything! She was so patient, explained everything as many times as I asked. She was SO FLEXIBLE and really squeezed us in when she could during a really hard part for us. I am honestly not going anywhere for anyone else!

All this and her photos were amazing in quality. Even after editing and proofing we had so many great images to pick from.”

“Katie is the absolute best. She was so organized and captured our special day perfectly. With our small courthouse wedding Katie took the time to research the courthouse rules, and captured our day. She had a game plan and was so much fun to work with. She was also fantastic with our pup. She captured some great candid photos and really knew how to work the light on the beach. 100/10 and for any future events we will certainly reach out to Katie.”

“I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Katie! From the moment we met her, she was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We spent our session visiting some of our favorite local spots around Monterey and ended at the beach for sunset photos in the water, which turned out absolutely beautiful. Katie has such a talent for making moments feel intimate and authentic and she made the entire experience feel effortless and natural.

I am grateful to have this season of our lives captured so thoughtfully and beautifully. I would recommend Katie in a heartbeat!”

“My husband and I did a shoot with Katie and not only had an amazing time since she’s genuinely a cool human being, but we were absolutely in love with the gallery!! It was romantic and yet goofy (which matches us), fun and playful, and really captured how much we love each other.


We’re absolutely going to be printing some of the photos to put on our wall for our two year anniversary”
