Not what others want.
Your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want.
Choosing to elope means choosing each other over anyone else’s expectations. That takes commitment and courage — two things you’ve got in spades.
You deserve an experience that creates the space to feel fully present, seen and connected; a space that feels like home.
I would LOVE to help you pull off the adventure of a lifetime!
"We felt completely taken care of in Kayla's hands.

We could really feel the dedication she has to making elopements personal and as stress-free as possible. Kayla crafted an itinerary for us that hit all the important notes we wanted. She had helped us choose the perfect location: a tucked away mountaintop clearing at sunrise, overlooking a cloud inversion.”

Close your eyes for a sec (yes, really!) and imagine your perfect wedding day:
… You two hiking into the North Georgia mountains, with views that stretch for miles
… A hidden waterfall deep in the woods that gets your hem a little wet (and your heart fully happy)
… A private chef and board games back at your cute, cozy cabin
… Sharing your vows in a way that holds real meaning.
Whatever you’re imagining, this is it. This is your sign to go after a day that’s wholly you in every way.
THIS IS WHAT ELOPING CAN MEAN —
To live this day as your truest self.
And, to get photos that reflect the
raw, emotional, adventurous
spirit of your day.

Hi, I'm Kayla.
And, I get to witness two people, completely in love, beginning their marriage in places that inspire awe.
How much do I love elopements?
I am continually blown away by couples like you who choose me to help remember this adventure. How lucky am I to get to collaborate with you on an experience that’ll etch itself onto your hearts forever.
That is bonkers! And I mean that in the best way possible! :)
"Kayla is such a gem of a human and an incredible photographer.
" Kayla is such a gem of a human and an incredible photographer.
Wedding planning was not my jam, and when we decided to elope with just our immediate family present, I was so glad I came across Kayla. She takes extra care to get to know who you are so that your wedding day is a true reflection of you as a couple. The only thing better than our beautiful photos was the experience itself.”

YOU KNOW THAT
It’s not just the act of taking photos, it’s everything that goes into creating an experience rooted in love and nature. As your North Georgia elopement photographer, here’s how I help you feel confident and seen every step of the way.
LESS OBLIGATION
MORE ADVENTURE
And, the sort of memories that'll make you go, whoa, we really did that?!
(and I can tell you from experience, it is).
" I wish you could've heard the SCREAM we both let out when our pictures came in!
Anytime we thought we had a favorite, the next photo would be the new favorite. I can’t thank Kayla enough — our family said they loved that they could see our entire day like they were there. Thank you thank you thank you!”

With love for each
other & this Earth
Big weddings produce a mind-boggling amount of garbage and carbon emissions. Yet when you elope, you’re doing more than honoring yourself. You’re saying yes to an earth-friendly, low-waste wedding that prioritizes experience over stuff.
As a Leave No Trace Aware photographer, I am committed to thoughtfully planning a day that preserves this planet not just for you, but for all those who’ll come after.
And if you’re my kind of people, you’ll understand why that’s so important. I love my little corner of North Georgia, and I can’t wait to share it (ethically) with you!
Eloping in nature is an
incredible gift — for you and for the planet.
More than just beautiful photos.
My job goes beyond capturing beautiful photographs of your special day. As your elopement photographer, I’m also your planner, your location scouter, your dress fluff-er, your adventure buddy, and friend.
A photographer should capture beautiful photos, but they should also give you a stress-free, genuine experience; they should help you create a relaxing timeline of your day so you can feel present and connected. They should be a source of inspiration, knowledge, and encouragement so that you can create a celebration of love centered entirely on the two of you.
When you know that my excitement, and passion for your day matches yours, you can feel at-ease knowing that you'll be taken care of.
