At The Wild Within Us, I transform weddings into rituals—intentional, breathtaking experiences that honor love as a sacred journey.
As a Zion local, I guide adventure-seeking couples through every step, curating an effortless, luxurious experience infused with meaning. From elopement photography to personalized planning, I ensure couples feel at home in Zion, free to embrace both the deep and the lighthearted moments of their day. This is more than a wedding—it’s a transformation, a tangible heirloom of love and connection, set against the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Southwest.
The artful images are more than photos- they are the rituals that you can return to every year as you celebrate and reflect on your love.

Zion Wedding and elopement resources
1000% HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Katie was everything you could ever want in an elopement photographer and so much more. She wore so many hats during our wedding planning process, from connecting us to vendors, to vetting various Airbnb locations, to creating wedding planning resources, and helping us create the timeline for our wedding day.
She will almost be more excited for your big day than you will. She makes the entire experience as stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible. We look back on our wedding with zero "I wish I had done that" thoughts because of Katie. She has a way of finding photos, especially candids, that are absolutely breathtaking. She will guarantee you get everything you want from your photos and then some.
We absolutely loved Katie--she is the best :)

Kate went above and beyond for us, and I’m not talking just about how she rock climbed down a canyon to get my bouquet when it dropped! She was amazing from the first moment I spoke to her and we cried on the phone together. She has such a heart for people and God has given her also the gift of capturing beautiful moments through the lens of a camera. We fully plan on using her again on our anniversary for a safari adventure with our RZR.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Zion summer 2021. We got connected with Katie through a friend and decided to jump on the experience. It was incredible. Katie took care of everything after a couple of meetings over the phone. We got to parts of Zion we would have never known about had it not been for The Wild Within Us. The locations were beautiful, the hikes were fun, and the campsite Katie put together for us was even better when we woke up the next morning to see the lake view. It was a very hot day so Katie was also cognizant to change up our plans to be in locations with better air movement and shade to keep us cool. The photos turned out stunning! We recommend an adventure with The Wild Within Us to anyone and everyone. They can cater to whatever you want your experience to look like and have all the talent to deliver the photos. We love them!
Katie and brandon
Kate with The Wild Within Us is more than just an elopement photographer, she's a curator of experiences! We thoroughly enjoyed every step of the process working with Kate from the initial phone call to the day of our elopement. She is charming and thoughtful and beyond what we expected, truly! She not only planned a PERFECT elopement day for us by scouting locations off the beaten path & away from crowds, but she had amazing recommendations for our whole trip that made it the experience of a lifetime! So thankful to have found such a lovely and talented human to share our special day with!

The luxury of living is a gift given to all of us from the universe.
I believe the way we treat others is the gift we can give back.
My purpose on this earth is to show that all love deserves to be acknowledge, documented and celebrated. They should be printed as tangible heirlooms, marking time and making meaning; proof of a life well lived.
Race, religion, orientation, and identity—
all are welcome.
