Zion elopement INVESTMENT
a note on pricing
You are not investing in hours only.
You are investing in how the day is held.
Coverage matters. But so does the way the day moves, the way your people are cared for, the way the ceremony is protected from becoming rushed, and the way the final images carry the emotional truth of the experience.
If you are unsure whether your day is a wedding, intimate wedding, or elopement-style celebration, inquire anyway. I will help you sort the shape of it without forcing you into a box.
CHOOSE THE AMOUNT OF SPACE YOUR STORY needs
Not sure which offering fits, you're not alone.
You don't need to know exactly how many hours you need before reaching out.
Share your date, guest count, location ideas, and how you want the day to feel.
I'll help you choose the collection that supports your story best.

Grab some wine and get cosy because here's the final unveiling. Hop online to view your slide show and gallery, and I'll send your USB and prints in the mail.
Let's relive your big day all over again! I know you can't wait so I'll send you 3-5 teaser photos a couple of days after your wedding.
I'll show up excited and ready to help you experience a sacred wedding day - one to remember and create life rituals around. I will be on all day watching out for every special moment so that you can simply enjoy the day!
From dream location, to detailed timeline and ceremony design, we'll keep in touch throughout your wedding planning. I'm always just an email away.
Yay! We'll finalise your contract, take care of the %50 retainer then sign the dotted lines to secure your booking. You'll complete a questionnaire that'll help me to get the next steps organised.
A free Discovery call + consultation for you to get a feel for what it'll be like working together. We'll chat about your dreams and visions, and how we can make it all work.

The logistics matter because the meaning matters more
I still care deeply about the practical pieces: permits, timelines, vendors, light, weather, guests, shoes, transportation, family photos, and the difference between a beautiful idea and a day that actually works.
But those pieces are not the soul of the day. They are the container. The vessel. The backbone of the day that let the ceremony breathe. I hold your hand through the logistics so you can enjoy the experience of planning your sacred cermony.
I hand-edit the story into an heirloom gallery and optional album so the day lives somewhere more permanent than a phone.
03. AFTER
I guide gently when guidance is needed, disappear when the moment needs privacy, and keep my eye on both emotion and flow.
02. DURING
We talk through what the day is really about, then shape a timeline around your ceremony, people, light, location, and energy.

The most incredible experience! Katie is an absolute light and truly fantastic at what she does. She has a gift for making you feel comfortable and at ease. There’s no one else I would have wanted to be part of our wedding experience... and makes the entire experience feel like spending time with a good friend.

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'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!

We chose Katie to photograph our wedding because of her experience in both landscape and wedding photography. Zion is a crazy beautiful place, and we want that to be represented in our photographs. She is able to capture that beauty while also capturing beautiful, genuine moments between you and your loved ones. Her talent speaks for itself in her photos, but bonus - she is just a true gem to work with! I would recommend the Wild Within Us a million times over.
LOVE NOTES
LOVE NOTES
Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you.
note: May and october are Zion's busiest months so it's best to book vendors in advANCE.
MOST COUPLES BOOK 12 MONTHS OUT, BUT i DO take bookings up to 1 month out - based on availability
care and support from beginning to end
how exactly does booking works
Once we've had our discovery call and it feels like the right fit, I'll send over your contract and invoice via email — no long forms, just a few clicks. A retainer of 50% is what officially reserves your date, due at signing; because Zion dates fill up fast (especially May and October), your date isn't held until both the signed contract and retainer are in.
The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding day, so there's nothing left to think about as the big day gets closer. If a payment plan would make things easier, just ask — I'm always happy to work out a schedule that fits you. I am also flexible with payment plan installments.
Do we need a wedding planner?
It truly depends on how involved you want to be in the process.If you mostly want to be hands off, and have someone (that is not a bridesmaid or a guest) be the person keeping the day on track, than yes, I suggest it and will provide vendor suggestions. However, I offer a ton of assistance, guides and resources and I offer in depth insight and planning tips.
Do you photograph internationally?
You bet I do! Nothing excited me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination wedding or elopement. If you're thinking of taking your celebrations overseas, please get in touch so we can chat about the finer details.
Do you do same-sex weddings?
A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
Do you photograph elopements?
If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and running off to do a private ceremony with just the two of you or a handful of your nearest and dearest, I'd be absolutely honoured to document your intimate ceremony. Our elopement packages start at 4 hours' coverage. Learn more about our Elopement Packages here or get in touch today.
How many photos will I receive?
You'll receive over 600-800 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
How will I receive my photos?
Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 4 to 6 weeks later, you'll receive a link to your online gallery and slide slow to watch and relive your wedding day. Around the same time, you'll also receive a beautiful package in the mail with a USB, prints and a little thank you from me.
How long will it take to receive our photos?
It will take roughly 4 to 6 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
We don't want our photos on social media
This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.
