At Soul & Sky, I create unique-to-you luxury destination elopements + intimate weddings. Regards,

Kate

With epic locations in 1.5+ day adventures, I plan & photograph your unbelievable vows.
🌿 Luxury Experiences 📸Bespoke Planning 🌍Alaska + Worldwide Destinations My name is Kate, and I am a dreamer who firmly believes in the power of embracing the moment. I think that’s why I love doing a more spontaneous, candid-type event and portrait photography… It's a style that embraces the "moment", which, tr

anslates into a more spontaneous, honest, reflective image. And, it allows me, and you!, to have more fun as we tell your story through pictures:-)

I’m based out of Roswell, GA, but travel all around the Atlanta Metro area and wherever in the US (or world!) the adventure calls me. It's the perfect fuel for my wicked case of wanderlust that inspires me to see and experience as much of this big, beautiful world as I am able:-)

If you're looking for something different from your photographer, let's chat!

People ask me if I eloped adventurously on our wedding day 19 years ago(!!!)…. But Peter Mahoney and I didn’t, as back then, there wasn’t really a “Kate” to help us figure out how to make our vision work.

But in every moment of opportunity since then, we’ve consciously chose to live that vow of “Adventure, Always✨” even when it’s not been easy.

Desert backpacking, and powder days in the mountains… Camping with bird-sized mosquitoes, and quiet days on the beach… From Safaris to Japanese hot springs, piloting boats through reefs in sideways rain, and international rental cars so tiny we thought there was No WAY his 6’4” frame would fit inside🫣…

Over the last 23 years together, and 19 years married as of today (🥳), we’ve traveled near and very far together and as a family, and I’m so grateful for *every* adventure.

Peteo, thanks for saying yes to every random plane ticket, untranslated map, and wild idea. You are my joy❤️ Cheers to more miles, years, and memories🫶🏽✨

Xoxo— Kate 🥰🫶🏽

What is my job, really? (Photographer is only half the story) 😂

People hear "elopement photographer" and stop there. But I'm also a designer, and a concierge, and honestly, Jill of all trades — it's hard to explain sometimes, but it's what makes me different. Somewhere in there, I became the photographer who plans, too.

I've had people tell me I'm a little wild for taking this much on as an "elopement photographer." But here's the thing — you're choosing to elope for the fun, the less-stress version of getting married.
..And travel is hard. Logistics are hard. Variables aren't always fun 😬. So my role in supporting you looks different, because it has to. It's there to protect your ease.

So yes, I'm an elopement designer — you bring me the idea, I find the way.

I'm an elopement & travel concierge — when you land, I've already picked up your flowers, your cake, conspired with your private chef, and arranged the decor drop-off and setup.

And when we're out in the field, I'm always, always, always capturing the story and seeing your moments — but also setting the stage for the unexpected delights, coordinating with vendors in real time, and responding to whatever you need as your trip unfolds.

As Jasmine put it in her interview for their feature: "Kate carried the stress so that we didn't have to." I honestly can't think of anything more beautiful than that.

You deserve amazing. I'm here to help make that happen, in every way. ❤️

—xoxo— Kate

We live in a world of hyper-sharing where every concert, get together and plate of food is photographed or filmed, and then, posted.

Privacy can feel like it no longer exists, and in weddings and elopements it’s no different.

These beautiful, intimate moments are often expected to be shared, both in person, and the images afterward.

But what if…

What if your wedding was just for you? A celebration *for* you, *by* you…

And in that, you two alone had the space to decide what images, stories, and memories of moments others get to see?

So, yes, when my couples are excited to do so, I love to pursue publication or share images of their elopements and adventures to help inform and inspire other couples.
⁠
But, I also hold dear that the intimacy of eloping means that sometimes, your memories are just for you ❤️
⁠
So in a world focused on sharing, know that I am here to photograph your privacy-minded or NDA-covered elopement, intimate wedding, bespoke travel experience, or other adventure with thoughtfulness and care.⁠

You… Your love… Your stories… Your moments… It is all safe with me. ✨

Happy fam❤️ A day to celebrate freedom in Black history that is actually still shockingly recent. ⁠
⁠
Yes, the fight for true freedom still exists (especially right now). But today we celebrate how far we've come and to honor the journey, because when when the world feels bleak, I try to remember that JOY is an act of rebellion. ⁠
⁠
So, I’m grateful for those who fought (and still fight) to give me as a woman of color the ability to take up space and create a career in these amazing places.⁠
⁠
On a personal note…⁠
⁠
People of color are still sorely underrepresented in the outdoor recreation space, and thus in my client base, and it breaks my heart. Everyone should have the chance to see, feel, and experience the healing power of the outdoors.⁠
⁠
I’m continuously working to find how I can personally reach more diverse couples for this very reason, because I know not every Black couple wants a glam wedding. (Finish this caption then come click back on the tag👀). 🫣⁠
⁠
I understand the cultural significance of why, and love the nod to Black Excellence, but success can be shown in so many different ways.⁠
⁠
So, here’s me wrapped in nature, sitting in the dirt, and drowning in puppy kisses and feeling very successful😉⁠
⁠
Freedom for all, in every way. The push continues.⁠
⁠
Xoxo⁠

You already know the rush-through-the-wedding-to-get-to-the-honeymoon thing is not your vibe… And yet… Here you are, googling at midnight, trying to find another way.

✨Fun fact: THIS is what a honeymoon-style elopement actually looks like.✨

Surf. Snow. Sunshine. Vows woven somewhere in between days of play and time to just *be.*

*That’s* what we build together…

…And if you’re still figuring out where in the world your place might be, I’ve got a whole list of hidden gems linked in bio to get you dreaming.🌍

People count Alaska out in winter. That’s exactly why I went.

I lifted off with and in January, the light doesn’t climb high. It moves low and golden across the ice for a few hours before it’s gone, so we raced the winter sun.

But WOW.

What’s out there is NOT a compromise version of a glacier elopement. It’s a completely ✨different✨ one.

Over the summer, icebergs calve off the glacier’s foot into the lake below. By January, the lake has frozen, locking them into the ice in mid-motion, tilted, braced against each other in shapes that--honestly--feel like they shouldn’t hold.

You walk between them. You look up into them. It's one of those places where you feel tiny, but in the *best* possible way.

What I love? That Winter on the glacier gives you what it gives you.

This particular day, a storm's brisk winds had swept the lake surface clean. No snow cover. Just clear ice you can see straight into, and inside it, a thousand shades of blue🩵. The icebergs carry it. The ice tunnels carry it. The sky does too. If blue is your color, Knik Glacier in winter will give you *MORE* versions of it than you knew existed.

And then...

You bring your gaze closer and see the tiny air bubbles and rock fragments suspended mid-fall inside the textured icy walls. Time, literally frozen.

A scene like this is never guaranteed and is the kind of thing you can’t plan for. You just have to be there when it happens.

But something special is ALWAYS there on the Knik Glacier. No matter the season.

You just have to arrive, open to whatever it is for you that day. And Chris, Bridget + the Outbound Heli team have been on the Knik for years. They know this terrain — the seasons, the access, the light — and the care they bring to every flight (and glacier elopement!) is a huge part of what it makes it all so incredible.

So what I believe?

Winter in Alaska isn’t an "off" season. For the right couple, it’s THE season.

Curious what a winter Alaska glacier elopement could look like for you? Take your time exploring — and when you’re ready to talk through what’s possible, I’m here.

— Adventure, always —

✨PRO TIP✨ You can love the outdoors and adventure and not like to camp or hike. And should you find that this is your truth…

…There’s a *whole WORLD* of Adventure Luxe experiences I can’t wait to share with you.

Like The Rock House at 😍

It literally brings the outside in, with massive walls of windows, and the natural sandstone bluff as the backbone of this gorgeous architectural “cabin”.

Like the other other new Houses on this side property, and the original Top Of The Rock House you’ll have:
✨A record player with a beautiful sound system to explore the record collection
✨Views for days
✨An awesome full kitchen
✨Comfy bedrooms with enough space to bring your most treasured few (most sleep 8 people+)
✨ A hot tub
…just to name a few amenities…

This mean that sure, you could go out and explore a trail, chase a waterfall, grab a coffee in town, or a catch a concert inside a cavern, or…

You can allow yourself time to just be. There. With nowhere to go and nothing to do except watch the light move deliciously through the stunning space. (Curled with your pup, because ALL their cabins and lofts are dog friendly!)

So whether for a staycation, birthday/milestone celebration, friends weekend, or as home base for your elopement, you can bring your crew for luxe leaning summer camp energy, or, enjoy the more intimate sized lofts (with the same great amenities) on the property.

And while I adore big travel, there’s something amazing about having these spaces I love so accessible to Atlanta (and Nashville and Chattanooga!) to@be able to more easily break away.

I stayed in December, but already, am dreaming of coming back. It’s truly beautiful ANY time of year.

Have you seen a house with a rock bluff inside? 😍

Every day I vacillate between raw, hot-burning anger and despondence. I DISSENT.

One year with Trump, we're teetering a full drop into the dystopian fever dream I've avoided in shows because it felt too real. Too predictive. Too visceral.

Everyday I'm fearful of what's next.

It feels as a nation we're in the woods, our collective light struggling to cut through the black, trying to climb the mountain to get home--a glimmer of safety that feels so distant from where we stand. (if we can even make it there...)

If your media isn't showing you, American citizens are being murdered, openly, in the streets by 🧊, and realities (witnessed on video for all to mourn) spun by Trump & his cronies falsely claiming the militarized agents acted in self defense.

Innocent humans, trying to go to work, feed their families, CHILDREN going to/from school--all indiscriminately targeted, detained, and sent into the abyss. People are dying in detention centers, deprived of their rights while for-profit companies running them profit from the gov't.

Kidnapping a world leader, yet pardoning a notorious (convicted) one. Pushing to "annex" Greenland into US control...

And FYI, the FBI SEIZED hundreds of boxes of 2020 presidential election materials in ATL this week. Yeah. That lie is still in play. Didn't think they'd try again for voting intimidation + election interference in upcoming elections? The playbook is in motion.

None of these issues are "new", and codified racism is real. But right now feels urgent, more sinister... like how many years will it take to burn 250 years of hard fought progress to the ground?

How do I create beauty in these overpowering times of such great sorrow?

Honestly, some days I struggle. People hide in their homes in fear, and I travel the world?

So, I remember. As a woman, a POC + a daughter of a 1st gen immigrant my voice is an act of rebellion. My camera, my art are a statement about what I believe, and ALL the humans I affirm and celebrate. My travel helps show the beauty of nature to inspire others to see it, fall in love, and then protect it.

And so I persist. We all do. Grieve. Rest. Fight. We must.

--With love & solidarity--
Kate

There’s the default wedding experience—⁠
personalizing within a narrow box of expectations.⁠
⁠
And then…⁠
⁠
…there’s what becomes possible for your elopement when you believe:⁠
⁠
✨Your wedding isn’t the single most expensive day of your life,⁠
but the most priceless journey you’ve shared so far.✨⁠
⁠
Because when you treat it as an adventure…⁠
⁠
…When you see the ceremony as a kickoff, not the finish line…⁠
⁠
…And when you trust in the luxury of time for your destination elopement…⁠
⁠
…You open doors to bucket-list experiences,⁠
beautiful and unexpected places, and meaningful ways to celebrate with your treasured few.⁠
⁠
That’s when your elopement stops feeling like “just a wedding day”…⁠
⁠
…and becomes a multi-day story.✨⁠
⁠
One you’ll remember not as a moment,⁠
but as a journey you lived together.⁠
⁠
So as you explore ideas for your 2026 destination elopement, and you’re reminded that your wedding can be more than a few hours or a single day—⁠
⁠
I hope you believe it. ✨⁠
⁠
Save this as a reminder that your wedding can be more than a ceremony.
