MAKE / Adventure Stories Photography

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m the owner, adventure planner & guide, and, photographer at MAKE / Adventure Stories Photography!

My business is as an Adventure Elopement photographer & planner, home-based in Atlanta, Georgia, traveling the Southeast and the whole US!

No doubt... searching for a wedding photographer in the Southeast can absolutely feel intimidating with the number of options out there! Toss in some doubt about what you really want for your wedding and some wonder if a more "traditional" wedding with all the fuss and extra stuff, and it is a downright challenge.

But you have options for how you get married!  Have you ever thought about an adventure elopement?

What’s that?!? It’s still a “real” wedding, but instead of a pricy venue and all the stress of traditional expectations, I help you build elopements that take your wedding story to places or experiences where you and your partner built your relationship and life together.

What do we do in elopements and where do we do it? 
* Walk-up spot that brings accessible beauty in a local park
* Hiking Elopement;
* Climbing Elopement;
* Kayaking Elopement;
* Mountain biking Elopement;
* Car/Jeep/Heli to a gorgeous spot ;
* Whatever/wherever your imagination builds!

With your closest loved ones, or, just by yourselves, an adventure elopement with me is 100% focused on creating a wedding experience that is right for you as a couple, leaving the expectations of tradition behind. I truly believe the outdoors are for everyone, so we find ways to make the experience you (and your guests!) want, happen beautifully.

Bringing a lifetime of outdoor sport, 20+ years in project management in the corporate arena, and, certifications in Wilderness First Aid and Leave No Trace outdoor ethics to keep our amazing outdoor space safe and beautiful, I'll work hand-in-hand with you to plan and then photograph the wedding experience you want most!

With portrait and engagement sessions near Atlanta (-3 hours), or,  half-day, full-day, or multi-day elopement packages with NO photographer travel fees anywhere in the lower 48 states or Alaska, there is truly an adventure elopement of every size and style for every couple:-) I can’t wait to talk with you and your partner to get to hear more about your vision!
