Big Sur Elopement Photographer
FOR COUPLES WHO VALUE EXPERIENCE OVER TRADITION
you aren't looking for an elopement day like everybody else's
Because that's what eloping is all about, spending the day celebrating your love just the two of you, doing things you truly enjoy together.
Whether you're dreaming of making coffee together on the coastal bluffs at sunrise and hiking into the woods for a picnic, or waking up in a cozy cabin in the redwoods and driving the twisting road of highway 1 in a classic car, the sky is the limit!
You know you want to elope in Big Sur, and have an epic experience. If you're feeling overwhelmed about what's next, it's a great thing you're here!
You want a day filled with unforgettable adventures that are actually unique to you
I'm not just your Big SUr Elopement photographer
I'm your brainstorm buddy, your adventure pal and your planning pro.
It's time to ditch the stress and go all in on your dream Big Sur elopement day
You know deep down that a traditional wedding isn't what you want - the pressure, the expectations, the very real possibility that you won't truly get to enjoy time together. You want to feel fully connected to each other, immersed in an adventure where every moment is intentionally designed around your story.
You know that eloping is about more than just getting married and taking pretty photos. It's a day where you'll laugh together being your goofy selves wandering hand in hand through the woods, and cry together sharing your vows on a cliff with the most stunning view you've ever seen. It's a day without distraction or the chaos of a large wedding. A day where every moment feels meaningful to you.
I help couples craft elopements that strip away the noise and let you be fully present with each other, creating epic memories you'll actually remember forever. No cookie-cutter itineraries, no performing for a crowd. Just the two of you, your love story, and the wild beauty of Big Sur.
Oh hey! I'm Kasey
I can't wait to bring your vision to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend around 6-12 months before you want to elope! This gives us plenty of time to plan your dream day and make sure you get to experience everything you're envisioning for your elopement.
I send you a sneak peek of 15-30 images within 48 hours of your elopement! This way you can share your news with family and friends immediately. You will receive the full gallery within 6 weeks of your elopement day.
Absolutely! If the location permits, we can plan for and accommodate up to 6 guests. However, keep in mind that as the guest count increases, logistical challenges like parking and bathroom availability can limit your location options.
I guarantee a minimum of 50 photos per hour of coverage, but I usually give much more than that! It all depends on the activities throughout your day.
Absolutely! I will photograph your elopement anywhere in the world. I specialize in Big Sur, the redwoods, and Iceland. But as a full-time traveling adventure elopement photographer, I am capable of planning and photographing your elopement anywhere!
Yes, in California you are required to have an officiant for a legal marriage. You can have a friend or family member get ordained and officiate your ceremony, hire an officiant, or I can officiate for you. I also have a list of wonderful officiants local to Big Sur that I will share with you as part of your vendor recommendations!
For most locations in Big Sur, a permit is required. I have a standing permit for some Big Sur locations, which allows you to elope with me and up to 6 guests at no extra cost to you! Otherwise, I will contact the parks for you and help you acquire the correct permits so you don't need to stress about them.
