From permits and timelines to the “wait, where do we stand?” moments, I help couples plan a stress-free Yosemite elopement with epic views, real laughter, and photos that actually feel like you (not like you were held hostage by a tripod).
Hi, I’m Katrina!
A Yosemite elopement photographer, planning guide, and someone who truly believes your wedding day should feel happy, relaxed, and full of laughter.
I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, shot for The New York Times, and spent years helping couples create meaningful wedding days in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Over time, I realized my favorite part of any wedding was always the couple themselves — the love, the excitement, the quiet moments, and the joy of choosing each other.
I’m known for making people laugh in an easy, genuine way — especially couples who worry they’ll feel awkward in front of the camera. When you’re comfortable and having fun, your photos naturally feel relaxed, emotional, and real. I’ll guide you through Yosemite permits, locations, timelines, and logistics, so you never feel overwhelmed or unsure.
You get to show up, be present, and enjoy every moment.
I’ll take care of the rest.
“We honestly didn’t have to do anything except show up and enjoy our day. Katrina helped us with every part of planning our Yosemite elopement — from permits and timing to choosing the most beautiful locations. The entire day felt calm, joyful, and effortless. She guided us every step of the way, made us laugh, and captured photos that truly feel like us. We couldn’t imagine doing this without her.”
