A note from Katie:
Hey I’m Katie, a traveling elopement + couples photographer based in Southern California! I focus on capturing the feelings you’ll want to remember and cherish forever – while having FUN doing it! I offer a fun-filled, prompted approach to create images that’ll make your jaw drop (or so I’ve heard!).
If you think of yourself as “awkward”, love all things boho, hiking and the beach, you’re probably in the right place.
I love bringing out the best in the people I meet, and watching them light up. By the end of our time together, I promise you’ll consider modeling as your new side gig.
Feel free to reach out to me through my website, or on instagram! And if I’m not the photographer for you, that’s okay too! We can still be friends.
But if I AM, let’s get started! I can’t wait to meet you and spend some time laughing, adventuring, and forgetting about the world for a moment.

Blair T. Married on 08/28/2022Such an amazing experience!
I just want to start off by saying how amazing Catherine is. From the beginning she was accommodating and very understanding. She offered advice on clothing styles/colors and even offered to let me use one of her dresses if I needed to. She provided a mood board from Pinterest to help me prepare for the photo shoot.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I’ve always been my biggest critic and I was shocked when I loved every single photo she sent back with the gallery. Every single photo she took tells a story and you can tell the genuine passion she has for photography.
And not to mention the amount of fun we had during the session. We laughed and we cried. We had such a great experience and I will forever and always cherish the moments she captured for my husband and I. -

Hey! I'm Katie, a boho military mama, holistic healer and traveling elopement photographer! I fell in love with photography shortly after delivering my son, Caswell, ten years ago.
Since then, I’ve collected more than a few tricks to create natural moments between even the most “awkward” couple. If you feel like this is you, welcome to the no-judgment zone.
My focus is on capturing all things love, and having a GREAT time doing it. Let’s adventure together, and remember the joy + love that surrounds us in this magical life.
