UNSCRIPTED, GROUNDED, MEANINGFUL

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?

Create your own path, be more intentional about how you celebrate your marriage, and be fully present in the moment and connected to your partner.

This is going to be easier than you think.

How to Elope Without Feeling Guilty or Selfish

Kaitlyn

Owner + Lead Photographer / Videographer, BASED IN SEATTLE, WA

WASHINGTON 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.

Kaylee + Kagen

“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!
