Nashville TN based
elopement photographer
Your story deserves more
than a photoshoot...
it deserves to be felt.
More than just pretty pictures. This is about telling your truth
Personalized elopement experience
Let's start planning
My goal as your elopement photographer is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — messy, emotional, joyful, wild, calm. Whatever your love looks like, I’m here to witness and preserve it with honesty.
my number one goal...
*Because it’s not about perfection — it’s about presence.
start here
Let’s be real. Eloping can feel vulnerable. It’s choosing meaning over tradition. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when couples let go of expectations and lean into what matters most. This is a safe space for you to do that.
Hello, I am
Kate!
Your planner, location scout, third-wheel, and new friend with a camera.
I’m here to hike up a mountain with you, fix your bouquet, help you breathe through your vows, and capture it all. I believe in connection over perfection, and that building trust makes better photos.
more about me
It all started with paying attention to the small intricate details of nature, I was always fascinated by it all so naturally, I wanted to take photos of each flower I see. With my mom's phone
At 18 I bought my very first camera and took photos of everything, no friend was safe. It eventually landed me with my first paid client and the rest was history!

"Hannah Kate ROCKS. Period. She’s the GOAT of wedding photography and we’d shout it from the rooftops if we could. From the second she showed up, she brought the perfect vibe—calm, confident, creative, and just cool. She made us feel totally relaxed in front of the camera (no small feat), captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and somehow made everything look even better than we remember. Hannah Kate didn’t just take photos—she told our story. Every image feels alive. Real. Timeless. Romantic. Fun. Epic. All of it. She has that rare talent where you don’t just see the pictures—you feel them. We’ve gone through our gallery at least 57 times and keep tearing up and grinning every time. If you’re thinking about hiring Hannah Kate—do it. Don’t even hesitate. She’s worth it, and then some. You’ll end up with photos you love and a photographer you adore. 5 stars. 10/10. Would book her a thousand times again."

"Kate was so incredible in every aspect of this whole process! From start to finish she was kind, personable, very efficient in communicating and also understanding and flexible in planning. She was just such a pleasure to work with! Now the photos... Oh the PHOTOS!!! She was so quick to get them to us I was blown away at not only that but the quality and the variety, she caught so many adorable candid shots as well as classic posed shots, even more intimate shots that just melt your heart the moment you see them... so many good photos and 100% of them were just perfection! The whole process and experience was amazing, 12 outta 10 and we will absolutely be using her services again!"
