I'm Katlyn! I'm a mama to two sweet babies, a wife to my high school sweetheart, and a photographer of 5 years. I have an obsession with the little moments (sunsets, stargazing, watching waves crash on the beach) call me cliché! I'm an elopement and wedding photographer in Montana & Southern California for couples with a deep connection who are truly madly in love with each other. My clients understand the importance of those quiet, intimate moments but also know how to have a great time and bring the best out of each other!

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVE Katelyn! She went above and beyond of what we even asked for her to do. She got every moment and more of our wedding, showed up an hour early and she stayed late to hangout and enjoy some dancing with our friends and family. She is now a good friend of ours and we will be calling her for all of our future photos.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

Whether you’re planning a quiet elopement in the woods or a lively celebration surrounded by family and friends, I’m here to document it all in a way that feels genuine and true to you.

I’m all about those candid, meaningful moments—ones that show your connection and the joy of the people around you.

Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!
