San Diego
Elopement Photographer
SO YOU'VE DECIDED TO ELOPE IN SAN DIEGO!
that’s when planning can start to feel overwhelming...
You already know that the big wedding is not for you! You imagine something so much more genuine than that. The idea of designing a day, YOUR day, with your guests at the center of every decision seems like the opposite of every thing you have ever dreamed of!
Instead you're here because you want a day built around experiences and a foundation of everything you are as a couple. A slow morning at the sweetest coffee shop, sunrise vows cliffside overlooking the ocean, and popping champagne at sunset on a sail boat to celebrate the day.
Even when you know eloping is exactly what you want; planning can still feel like a lot. Finding locations, understanding permits, building a timeline, choosing the right time of day.... the list feels endless.
You don't have to have it all figured out...
That's where I come in!!
Planning an elopement can get overwhelming fast, but I will walk with you every step of the way! As a San Diego elopement photographer and planner, I guide you through every step: finding the perfect location, navigating permits, building a timeline that flows... all of it. You don’t have to piece it together or second guess anything. You get to show up and be present in it all.
You already know; this isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s intentional. It's permission to slow down and take it all in. You want nothing more than to experience getting married along the San Diego coast. Every part of the day built around connection, not a schedule. You’re searching for an experience that shifts your perspective in the most meaningful way.

Let's Elope!
"This is one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. Caitlin took care of every detail and more, I did not have to use my brain at all! I got to be creative and make my experience personal to me without doing any of the heavy lifting. She thought of details I never even considered, to make the experience all the more special and memorable. Not to mention, her photos came out absolutely incredible. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone even considering elopement. She is also the sweetest person you may ever meet."

Love Notes
as your photographer
- You will receive sneak peeks within 48 hours of your special day, so you can spend a little more time reminiscing the day and you can also share it with your friends and family!
And...
- You can have peace of mind knowing that I am a photographer and planner that is aligned with the Leave No Trace initiative and together we will ensure we do our part to preserve the beauty and the space we experience on your day!
Its always been about the experience and soaking in the day!
I recommend booking at least 6 months to a year in advance to give you the best chance of securing your preferred dates and locations. While some couples book just a few months ahead and others book more than a year out, planning within the 6–12 month window typically offers the greatest availability for vendors, locations, and permits!
How soon do I need to book my elopement? Is there a deposit?
01.
You can expect to receive a selection of sneak peek images within 24–48 hours of your adventure elopement. I love giving couples a few images to share with friends and family right away. Your full gallery will be delivered within 3–4 weeks and you can anticipate receiving approximately 50–100 images per hour of time we spend together!
When will I receive my images and how many will I get?
03.
That will depend on your chosen location and the number of guests joining you. If you are planning to elope in a state or national park, the short answer Is that you will likely need one and you will want to plan at least 60 days for these approvals so lets pick your date and plan proactively!
Will I need a Permit for my location?
