Take a journey into your dream elopement day

  The day you marry your partner is an opportunity to curate an experience that is unique and memorable to YOU.  This could be just the two of you exploring your favorite national park, or traveling somewhere totally new. It could be an intimate evening at a beautiful venue surrounded by your dearest loved ones. The options are limitless.
 

I've been a part of the elopement industry since modern day elopements first ignited in 2016, and a part of the wedding industry as a whole since 2015. Over the last decade I've been specializing my craft for couples that want an experience that's personalized, unique, and magical.  It's my goal to make your elopement dreams an epic and tangible experience you'll remember for the rest of your life.

But how do you get started in curating the perfect elopement experience?

I'll be your dream guide.

Hi, I'm Caitlin!

No two love stories are the same

This is your time to shine your uniqueness and be authentically you, all while telling the story of your love. My goal is to help you create an experience and art out of your marriage that feels like YOU, and not just what everybody else is doing.

and that's totally okay if your vision isn't the 'norm'. Elopements and intimate weddings are so freeing in that you can make them WHATEVER you want. Whether that's traveling halfway across the world to have an incredible experience outdoors, or getting matching tattoos after your ceremony, or getting all cozy with your closest friends and family at a location near home that you love. At the end of the day you should feel fulfilled that this experience was exactly what the two of you always dreamed of.

Your love was written in the stars

You deserve for your marriage to be an experience that speaks to you.

"Caitlin exceeded our expectations!!! I found her through Tik Tok after looking at elopement locations/photographers near Texas for months. I knew she was the one I wanted to capture our day when I found her. Throughout the process she listened to what we wanted, made sure we were fully prepared, and she did the dang thing!!! She is so bad a**!! We wanted an adventure elopement and she was down for the adventure. She crawled through a cave with her equipment and didn't hesitate. She is so talented at what she does and I couldn't have asked anyone better to elope us and capture our day!"

- Jacob & Jamie

"Just wow! I cannot say enough about Caitlin! I had no idea what I was looking for when I started searching for an elopement photographer. She was a huge help by knowing the area and being able to provide a timeline for me. She was easy-going throughout and made it fun! If you are searching for a photographer that thinks outside of the box and is up for a challenge, Caitlin is definitely the right person for the job!"

- Sheri & Thomas

"My husband and I had no idea where to start with our elopement journey and Caitlin was such a huge help from beginning to end (literally)! She had all the recommendations; could tell you almost exactly what to expect, and does the most amazing work! Not only super communicative, but her editing style is exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend!"

- Brooke & Riley

"10/10 elopement experience. Caitlin was able to plan our elopement with only two weeks notice and other projects she was working on. Everything went seamlessly and she has a great attention to detail. Our pics are amazing and they didn't break the bank. We would recommend her over and over!"

- Ashley & Dallon

"Caitlin did my bridal portraits and my wedding. We had planning meetings before each session and she even wrote my wedding day itinerary. The online portal that she uses to store documents, contracts, brainstorming, etc. was user friendly. As a type A bride, I really appreciated this. Caitlin is organized, professional, and so sweet! She was a grounding influence during both sessions, and my guests had nothing but good things to say about her! She also worked well with my videographers. Caitlin's dreamy, ethereal vibes were perfect for my vision. Ben and I enjoyed her company."

- Lindsey & Ben

Guests or no guests, local or traveling across the world, laid-back or an epic adventure, it's whatever you want to create.

Maybe it's a day spent at the place the two of you first met, reliving old memories and relishing in the new journey you're starting together.

If you want something different and extra personalized just for the two of you, eloping is one of the best and most romantic ways to experience your marriage. Read the details and learn the pros and cons of elopements, intimate weddings, and traditional weddings to help you weigh all of the options to start creating your dream day.
