Guide to all things elopement

Not to throw a wrench straight into that claim, but
the whole deal with elopements is that they can be
anything. Which is the beauty of them, right?

But also sort of what makes them a little scary to
jump into headfirst. Where do you possibly start
when the whole entire world is up for
consideration?!?

WELL, THAT’S WHY I’M HERE

CHOOSING THE TIME OF YEAR TO ELOPE

Before we start planning anything else, knowing the date you want to elope is super important. Nothing kills a plan more than realizing that mountain wildflower meadow you’ve been envisioning is still under six inches of snow.

Choosing the time of year and the overall vibe you’re going for helps me start homing in on your perfect locations. I promise, you don’t need to have anything else decided yet. Selecting your elopement date and your retainer fee locks in your spot on my calendar.

This is the part where my couples explain it better than I ever could:

“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kasey. Choosing to elope can feel scary, you step away from tradition, expectations, and the familiar structure of a big wedding day, and there were moments leading up to it where we wondered if we were making the right choice. But from the second we connected with Kasey, we never second-guessed our decision again.

She didn’t just show up as our photographer, she showed up as a steady, calming presence and an incredible guide. As both a planner and photographer, she truly pulled our entire day together. She thoughtfully planned our timeline, location scouted, and crafted a day that felt intentional and completely “us.” Working with our personalities so naturally, she created an experience that felt effortless and genuine rather than posed or pressured.”

“A perfect experience! From the start, we weren’t sure how we wanted our elopement to look or where we wanted to go; but Kasey helped us every single step of the way. She helped us explore all park options, gave us lists on great places to stay, recommended local experiences and was able to shape the entire trip around our interests and wants. Kasey would get back to us with any questions we had and always had time to jump on a call, which relieved a lot of our stress when planning the elopement! On the day of, at a park we have never been to before, Kasey helped us navigate to secluded areas for photos (which made us feel like the only two people in the park). We trusted every prompt and pose she gave us and the results are breathtaking! Kasey was not just our wedding photographer, she set up and delivered on every aspect of prep and planning. We could not be more thankful for having her with us through the entire process!”

“Working with Kasey was truly such a wonderful experience. She was easy to work with from the start, and we completely trusted her throughout the entire process. Everything felt personalized, and on the wedding day she created such a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. She clearly put so much time and care into preparing for our day, even scouting new locations the week of and bringing thoughtful recommendations to us. If any changes were needed, she handled them seamlessly, and we always felt at ease. We still have people talking about our photos, often saying they look like they belong in a magazine. That says everything. Beyond her incredible talent, she also had amazing vendor recommendations for hair, makeup, and florals that made planning so much easier.
We’re so grateful for her and the beautiful memories she captured.”

“Finding Kasey was honestly meant to be. She took the stress out of planning our big day and was extremely knowledgeable about the location we chose. She answered all of our random questions and found the absolute perfect place for our day. The picture we got back were breathtaking and couldn’t have captured us better.”

“Kasey is truly your dream photographer!! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone who will listen, time and time again!! Kasey has documented so many huge life moments for my husband and I over the past six years. Not only did she photograph our wedding so beautifully, but also three different couples sessions for us all over the world – Ontario, Canada, Tuscany, Italy, and Upstate NY. Kasey’s work speaks for itself, she is a true artist who captures the genuine beauty of whatever landscape she is in, so perfectly. But what really sets her apart, is the time and care that she puts into her couples. She takes the time to really get to know you and your partner, to help you feel comfortable and at ease with her presence. She goes above and beyond to find the most beautiful and epic locations as a backdrop, she makes your entire planning process so seamless. Her love for adventure and photography is captivating, and is why we just adore having her apart of and capturing so many incredible memories for us and our families! <3" – T & E, Italy 2025

“We chose to do a sunrise elopement and even though it was a rainy morning, the entire experience was so much fun, and we couldn’t have done it without her! We love Kasey’s work, and even more than that, we love the friendship we formed with her. We are so glad we found her to be our photographer, and will recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and wonderful person to capture the most important moments of their life”

“In our opinion, Kasey deserves a medal for her patience, kindness, and grace. When you decide on an elopement, it is because it is the best choice for you and your partner and Kasey was able to help us make our dream a reality. Her resources, ideas, and the way she supports you as a couple is everything you could want. The process was a journey for us and when we finally were able to reflect on our elopement, all we kept saying was that we were just grateful for Kasey. She always understood what we needed, was willing to support us, and went above and beyond for us. She knows what she is doing and because of that and her relaxed and fun approach, our day was so peaceful and full of love and laughs in the adirondacks. We could laugh and just relax and that is something that we will always cherish. Our elopement was exactly how it was supposed to be and our photos turned out so beautiful and reflected our love. We knew from the start that Kasey was the person that we wanted to photograph us and to capture our love story. We are so grateful to her for being with us. Thank you, with all of our hearts, for spending our day with us.”

“On the day itself, everything flowed beautifully because of her preparation and care. She somehow managed to capture every meaningful glance, laugh, and quiet in-between moment while still making us feel completely present. Looking through our photos now feels like reliving the day all over again, and once we received our gallery, any lingering fears about eloping completely disappeared. We know without a doubt it was the best decision for us.

Kasey gave us more than stunning photos, she gave us an experience we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond grateful and will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. If you’re considering an elopement and want someone who truly understands how to guide you through it with heart, intention, and incredible talent, Kasey is it.”
