Your southern California Elopement Photographer for the Candid, Emotional Moments of Your Special Day.
I am your Southern California Elopement Photographer, lover of outdoor adventures and authentic celebrations. As an adventure elopement photographer, I do more than capture timeless images of your wedding day. I work with you to create a once-in-a-lifetime elopement experience you will never forget.
Born and raised in California, and with an intimate knowledge of our state’s nature spaces, there is nothing I love more than helping couples plan their dream elopement. No matter your desired activity level, the scenic backdrop you envision, or the season you choose to elope, I can’t wait to capture and witness the adventure and authentic love of your unique day.

An elopement returns the focus of a wedding day to the couple's love and commitment to each other. it allows the freedom to explore - a chance to escape the mundane traditional pressures and embrace the unknown, hand in hand with the one you love. It's a declaration of independence and a celebration of the journey ahead,
a beautiful and authentic expression of love in its purest form.
More than a Photoshoot.
Photos of your elopement or marriage ceremony can be intimidating, especially if you are not used to being in front of a camera! As your California elopement photographer, I will work with you to ensure you are comfortable, confident, and prepared for more than a photoshoot, but an entire elopement experience that prioritizes your unique relationship.

Karen is the best. My husband and I aren’t used to taking photos and often get uncomfortable, but Karen made us feel so comfortable with her professionalism and amazing vibe. I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone I meet. We are head over heels in love with the photos she took for our special day.
