I photograph elopements for the couples who value connection and want to be truly present on their wedding day.
The little details don’t matter as long as you are with your person for as much of the day as possible. It’s not about pleasing guests, the florals looking perfect, the cake is the right flavor, or if your hair is exactly how you imagined. You are simply there to enjoy each other. Choosing to elope is the most intimate way to begin your union as one, so why not enjoy each second of that magical day that you worked so hard towards.
I believe...
Capturing connection
One of the reasons you decided to elope, was to ditch the chaos a traditional wedding day typically brings. You and your partner want to do things your way, and have a more relaxed environment to enjoy with family and friends. I'm here to help make that happen. Prioritizing your peace to fully enjoy your elopement day is something you shouldn’t feel ashamed of doing. I’ll create a day of timeline that gives you the time and space to do whatever you want and whenever you want, just the way you have always dreamt, while also getting everything you need captured in between.
Plan the most meaningful, laid back day
Capture the connection + emotions of your day for you to enjoy for years to come
My goal on your elopement day is to be like a fly on the wall, and capture the day truly how it unfolds, imperfections and all! I really make sure to catch all the laughs, embraces, tears and raw emotions that the day may bring. Looking back on your wedding photos years from now will be so special because it allows you to relive one of the most significant days of your life, rekindling the emotions, joy, and love shared during that moment.
I’ll help you stay present on your most special day.
There may be times where you are feeling anxious or stressed, but I am wholeheartedly there to make your day as stress free as possible. Elopements are super intimate and I want you to worry about nothing other than being with your people and enjoying each moment of the day. If that means, steaming your dress, getting a stain out, gathering your family members or fixing some decor, I’ll be there to take anything off of your plate!
“From the moment I first saw her work, I knew I wanted her to capture a special memory for us. The photography planning process was SO seamless with Catia. She made the entire process so stress free! It's so true that your photographer is your bestfriend on your wedding day. I loved her energy! She made me feel so beautiful in front of the camera. She completely understood the vision I had for my day and delivered such high quality work. I am forever grateful that we had the opportunity of having Catia capture our special memory."
It's so true that your photographer is your bestfriend on your wedding day. I loved her energy!
“We had such an amazing time with Catia. I was instantly drawn to the feelings she captured and it all just felt ~romantic~. She was willing to go to all the locations we wanted to shoot at and made us feel very comfortable. As a usual shy girl, I was a bit nervous to be sharing such a special day with a stranger, but she felt like a friend instantly! She also helped pose us when we felt awkward and made it feel very natural and candid which is exactly what we wanted. We got our sneak peeks the next day and shed a tear from how beautiful the moments she captured were. If it's not clear already, highly recommend!”

“My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera and she made the whole experience so comfortable and fun. I already knew I loved her style of work that really captures emotion in the moment and doesn't feel posed. Catia really brought our vision and personalities to life. We are so happy with how our pictures came out and there are so many to choose from that we love."

how it works
After you fill out an inquiry form, we'll schedule a call to chat about all the details about your wedding day and if you have a specific vision or expectations. We can discuss any locations you have in mind, dates, specific plans if you had any already. I'll explain in depth all of my packages so we can decide as a group which would be the best for your day.
1.
Schedule a consult call
Once we all agree upon a date and have a location some what in mind, then we make it official! I'll send over a proposal and contract for you both to look over and sign. A 20% non refundable retainer is due at the time of booking to secure your wedding date. Once everything is paid and signed, you're officially booked!
2.
Make it offical
Yay! Now on to the super fun stuff, planning your special day! I'll be sending over a few questionnaires to get a feel for your overall vibes of the day and I'll send some helpful guides for you to look over.

Eloping means embracing the elements! I’m a firm believer that 'bad' weather makes for the most epic, moody photos. However, your comfort is my priority. If the forecast looks truly dangerous or miserable, we’ll look at backup locations (like a cozy cabin or a nearby indoor venue) or utilize 'flex days' built into my schedule to pivot to a better window
Anywhere from 4 months to a year out! I have helped out couples 12 months out to as little as 2 months out. I do limit the amount of elopements I take on each year, so please reach out as soon as you have a date and some what of a location in mind, we can discuss the rest!
Of course! It is your special day and I am here to photograph it as you wish! As long as the location allows for multiple guests, it is totally your decision. I specialize in elopements and micro weddings of under 80 guests. If you are having more, just get in contact with me to see if we are a good fit!
I'll always send a few previews of your day within 2-4 days so you can enjoy! The full gallery will be returned to you in about 8-12 weeks, depending on the time of year! You will always get your full gallery before our contracted date.
