TAKE A DEEP BREATH

. . . seriously.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed with all the options and research already, take a moment to breathe.

To just be. Because ultimately, this is also how we want you to feel on your wedding day: comfortable, relaxed, and present. We do things a little differently around here — giving you the space, time, and support to be worry-free and unapologetically yourselves.

Ready? Let’s dive in.

LOVE IS A LOT LIKE WATER

EXCITING, POWERFUL, CALMING

At Skyewater Photo + Film, we believe that where and how you choose to celebrate your wedding day can be the difference between looking back on your day with regret, or remembering it with joy.

If a traditional wedding isn’t for you, know that you are welcome here. Our custom elopement planning process is a safe space to dream big and be yourselves.

UNSCRIPTED, GROUNDED, MEANINGFUL

Our memories are almost always tied to the places we explore and the people we love, and your wedding day is no exception.

If you could go anywhere in the world with only the people you want present (even if that means just you and your person), what would that feel like?

We help couples who want to create their own path, who want to be more intentional about how they celebrate their marriage, who want to be fully present in the moment and connected to their partner.

We promise this is going to be easier than you think.

A PURPOSEFUL + STRESS-FREE

CUSTOM WEDDING DAY EXPERIENCE

Planning your Pacific Northwest elopement or destination wedding doesn’t have to be difficult. Let us be your calm in the storm.

Skyewater is not your typical photo + video team. We help you worry less about traditions and expectations, and focus more on being at peace with your person. We offer love and support to ease the overwhelm, insight and advice to navigate the planning process, and a relaxing — yet, joyful! — approach to make your wedding day unique and unforgettable.

Owner + Lead Photographer / Videographer at Skyewater Photo + Film

PNW PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER + ELOPEMENT EXPERT

An introvert at heart, I always value real connection, stories, and conversation over surface-level interaction any day of the week.

Having documented 200+ weddings and elopements on camera over the last decade, if there’s one thing I’ve realized it’s that I have a knack for being the calm, welcoming, and intuitive energy couples didn’t even realize they needed.

So, I invite you to think about what it would feel like to be fully present, unapologetically yourselves, and care-free on your wedding day instead of worrying about what everyone else wants. And take comfort in knowing you have my full support, every step of the way.

REVIEWS FROM PAST ELOPEMENTS

“THE BEST TIME”

My husband and I wanted two things for our elopement: to create an intimate, unique ceremony in breathtaking scenery and a professional wedding photographer to capture it. We found both of those with Skyewater. From the start they made the entire process stress-free and fun. We had the best time, in the best place, with the best photographer.

“STUNNING”

Kaitlyn made our day absolutely perfect. The photos that we received were absolutely STUNNING! They 100% capture who Ryan and I are as a couple. We laughed, joked, cried, screamed in excitement, and just showed every possible emotion together and she managed to capture all of it. There is nothing that we feel could have been better!
ANNA + RYAN

“OUTSTANDING”

I am so glad that we stumbled across Skyewater Photo + Film! I can’t say enough about how professional and friendly the team is. The quality of work that they produce is outstanding! Turnaround time was great and we were so pleased with the results. The photos and videos will be treasured forever. I simply cannot recommend them enough!
KRISTINA + LOGAN

“PHENOMENAL”

My husband and I were really nervous to let anyone else into our special day. We chose to elope alone so choosing a photographer we felt comfortable around was crucial. Kaitlyn was vital in every stage of our elopement. Her work is phenomenal and is also such an amazing human being . . . She changed my life and helped craft the best day of our lives!
