🌿 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!

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--

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.

To all my engaged couples—my advice to you?
Give yourself the gift of the luxury of time —

…Now, during this phase of fresh excitement.
…As you move into planning.
…And then into your actual destination elopement itself.

Don’t rush, at *any* stage.

Give yourself space to dream, explore, and be thoughtful in your choices so you can build a wedding experience that becomes a gift you’ll treasure forever.

Hope you’ve been enjoying the holidays, fam, in all the ways you may celebrate.

-xo-

Not all flowers behave the same on a glacier — or — during an adventure elopement in Alaska.⁠
⁠
In this Reel, we’re giving you a small peek inside a florist’s mind as they contemplate making magic for you. Natasha of Paper Peony Alaska ( ) is sharing how she thinks about durability, cold, and real-world handling when she’s designing elopement bouquets & wedding flowers for Alaska conditions.⁠
⁠
It’s the kind of conversation we have behind the scenes all the time — about what actually works, what’s an educated risk, and how to build florals that *support* the experience you’re living, *not* fight it.⁠
⁠
If you’re dreaming up an Alaska elopement and want your flowers to feel beautiful and ready for adventure, this is a good place to start.⁠
⁠
And if Alaska isn’t the place you’re dreaming about? The heart of this conversation still applies. ⁠
⁠
Adventure luxe weddings aren’t about one location — they’re about building experiences that move with you & celebration your destination, wherever in the world you choose to say your vows.⁠
⁠
The full Alaska Tapes conversation is live!

Friendly reminder for anyone dreaming about a 2026 luxury elopement: the entire globe is in play.⁠
⁠
And if you’re hoping for a longer elopement that blends into a honeymoon or a few extra days of slow, intentional travel, here’s a planning secret worth keeping close:⁠
⁠
✨ Use the Winter Holidays. ✨⁠
⁠
Not because you need a winter wedding—BUT— because the holidays often mean easier time off work, longer travel windows, *and* they line up beautifully with gorgeous, summer-like weather across much of the world.⁠
⁠
🌴 November is high summer in the Southern Hemisphere.⁠
🦁 December is warm across many regions of Africa.⁠
⛰️ January feels like late spring in parts of South America.⁠
☀️ And March? A dream almost everywhere.⁠
⁠
You don’t need to “fight” the season you live in—you can slip right into the season that feels most like you and build your adventurous luxury elopement experience around it.⁠
⁠
So instead of asking “When should we get married?” try asking:⁠
⁠
✨ What do I want to feel on my wedding day? ✨⁠
⁠
That feeling becomes our measure for the right season, the right hemisphere, and the perfect destination for your story.⁠
⁠
And later this week, I’m sharing a month-by-month look at some of my favorite destination elopement locations around the world—so you can see just how many possibilities open up once you realize you don't have to plan around your local/US weather.⁠
⁠
📍 Ready to find your somewhere?⁠
⁠
As your destination elopement photographer and luxury elopement concierge, I’ll help you design a multi-day experience that feels exactly right—wherever the map takes us.⁠

Seward holds a kind of magic that’s hard to explain until you’re standing inside it — mountains rising straight out of the ocean, tidewater glaciers in the distance, and moments of calm and views your eyes can't believe that you can only reach by air.⁠
⁠
For this Alaska Tapes episode, I talked with Elise from , who has spent the last decade working across Alaska’s tourism industry. She shared what makes Seward so special, what people often underestimate about Alaska, and how helicopter-accessible spots like Godwin Glacier and Bear Glacier Lagoon create experiences you simply can’t find anywhere else.⁠
⁠
If Seward is on your heart — or if you’re dreaming of a glacier elopement — this conversation is a beautiful place to begin.⁠
⁠
🎥 Watch the full episode (link below)⁠

(PS- If Alaska isn’t your place, that’s OK! My love of global travel runs deep. Tell me what kind of landscape feels like you, and I’ll help you find the perfect corner of the world. )
