Because the best parts usually happen after the I do.

The celebratory cocktails + cake
The arcade fun.
The sunset vows.
The holy s**t… we’re married, feeling finally sinking in.

A fully lived celebration of your forever, your first adventure as married.

The ceremony is only one small part of the memory.

If this feels like your kinda wedding day… you’re my kinda people👇🏼

Follow along for the final photos because these two had a bad ass Sarasota elopement ❤️‍🔥

Motherhood slowed me down.

In the best way.

I used to be go, go, go… always moving, always chasing, always thinking about what was next.

And now?

I notice things I never did before.

How fast time actually moves.
How the smallest moments end up meaning the most.
How your full presence is the greatest gift to give your loved ones.

It shifted how I see love.

And it changed how I photograph it too.

Growing up, my favorite memories weren’t things they were experiences.

They were family road trips + vacations…
Camping trips + concerts with friends…

Fully living it.

And now when I look back… I realize how much I miss that ability to just disconnect and be completely present in the moment.

Because it’s hard af now.

Phones, notifications, constant noise, it’s so easy to be there, but not reallly there.

And that’s exactly why I’m so drawn to elopements + intimate weddings.

They give you space.

Space to slow down.
To breathe.
To actually feel what’s happening while it’s happening.
To be hella intentional with your wedding experience.
To disconnect and honor the moment. The day.

But also, the freedom to do this whole wedding thing differently.

To build a day that feels like you living… not just an event.

An intimate kind of day with your people
or the best “f**k yes” kind of day with your person.

Something that feels more like your favorite kind of day together… an epic date night, a trip you don’t want to end,an epic gathering, vibing with your nearest and dearest people.

Because you only get one life. ONE dude.

And this day?
It deserves to be exactly how you envision it.

As fun, as simple, as fancy, as epic as YOU want it to be.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not really about the photos… it’s about the memories you were actually present enough to make.

And honestly… I think that’s the whole point.

Hot take: you actually have to like each other.

You can send the Pinterest board.
You can hire a photographer who knows light, direction, and how to make you feel comfortable.

Buuuut I can’t create chemistry 🫣

I can guide, pose, prompt, the movement, the vibe.
But the magic comes from two people who genuinely enjoy each other + like each other. Best friend kind of love, ya know?!

The couples who look carefree and fully in it usually aren’t models… they just really like their person.

That part? You’ve gotta bring.❤️‍🔥

Too honest or spot on?!

They chose to get married on their 10 year anniversary🥰 These two were so much fun to work with but honestly spend the afternoon with, so kind + funny and undeniably in love✨

We started with a first look at Hotel Flor 🥰
Then met their people at the Hillsborough County Courthouse✨

After that, we just explored🤘🏼Stopped at Le Meridien for some fun photos and a lovely glass on champagne a kind stranger gifted them + ended up inside the Tampa Theatre thanks to a random kind worker who came up to us and got some of the coolest moooody af photos. ❤️‍🔥

Then wrapped it up at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park at the bench where they had their first kiss… where they read their vows to each other.🥹

When they first reached out, they told me they wanted it to feel low stress, relaxed, and just… happy. They also said they felt awkward in photos… you’d never guess!😎

Most people think they only need an hour for something like this. But when you actually want to move through your day, see your people, explore a little, and have space for the moments that matter… it ends up being a lot more than that.

If you’re thinking about doing something like this and don’t even know where to start, I gotchu 🖤

Cheers to forever to A + S may you forever keep laughing together and swapping shoes 🙃

Heyyy hiii, I’m Kathryn. New faces. New welcome post.🙃

Your photographer if you want someone who gives a s**t, keeps it real, and helps you feel like yourself in front of the camera. I’m a little free spirited hippy soul, with a little rock + roll attitude, probably your type of person if you like good tunes, real emotion, and doing things differently aka your way.

8 random facts about me👇🏼

❤️‍🔥Obsessed with showing couples Florida beyond the beaches.
❤️‍🔥Live music will always have my heart, it’s therapy.
❤️‍🔥I’m happiest outside.
❤️‍🔥I’m not built for settling, in life or in photography.
❤️‍🔥I think finding your person is one of the coolest journey God puts us on.
❤️‍🔥I have a potty mouth + not enough tattoos
❤️‍🔥Life is better with furry animals
❤️‍🔥 Road trips, porch hangs + sunsets are medicine for the soul

So whether you’re new here or have been following along for a while, welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m really glad you’re here.

Life update…we’re heading a bit south! 🙃

Sup Bradenton + Sarasota 😎 Luke just accepted an incredible new job and I’m over here like a proud af wife watching him make bold career moves and fully step into his next level. It’s been really damn cool to witness.

KJP wise… I’m expanding, not leavin! I’m still serving Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater just like always… just adding Sarasota into my territory now too. You’re not getting rid of me that easy 🙃

I’m a big believer that if you don’t give up on what you want and you keep showing up for the life you’re building, things have a way of working out, maybe not how you planned or when but usually better.

New chapter.
New scenery.
Same heart behind the lens🤘🏼

My favorite part of elopements will always be private vows.

During S + M elopement in Orlando we got to explore and wander and we found the perfect spot for their private vows. Straight outta a movie 🥰 When it’s time for personal vows… I step back and give space. I don’t listen. I don’t interrupt. A true private intimate moment.🤍 So this is my little nudge nudge to you my friends, take the time to spill your beautiful heart out. ✨

Leu Gardens was the perfect place for it.✨

Rosanna + Ken knew the beach wasn’t their scene, so we took their elopement into Hillsborough State Park… proof that Florida is way more cinematic than people give it credit for.

We started with sushi and cake under the trees, wandered the trails, carved their initials into a trunk of a tree because why the hell not and found that massive hollow oak that turned into the perfect first dance spot + a beautiful special intimate moment.

By the time we hit the suspension bridge, the sky had gone gold and violet with that unreal blue hour glow. It was just the two of them soaking in the quiet that being in the woods brings.

This day wasn’t about timelines… it was about choosing what felt real. What felt like t h e m. 🤍
