Stassi & Trevor //
a multiday new zealand adventure elopement experience crafted for belonging, wonder, and the kind of love that feels like home⋆☁︎
Stassi and Trevor,
What you’ve built together feels like sanctuary. After years of reaching, of weathering, of finding the courage to stay open even when life asked everything of you, you’ve created the rare kind of love that steadies and dares in the same breath. It’s a joy to witness and an honor to hold.
Yes, elopements are celebrations of love, but this is so very clearly more than that. This entire experience, from the plans we make to the days we live them out, are a vow to keep choosing wonder after everything you’ve lived through.
WHEN LOVE BECOMES BOTH THE BOW
& THE ARROW
From slow dancing in the park to vows beneath a Milford Sound waterfall...
this is your love story as a map home:
the bow drawn by all you’ve survived,
the arrow guided by everything still waiting to unfold.
Hey y’all :)
It’s me! Your photographer, guide, and fellow believer in love that endures the storm and still reaches for the light. I build elopement experiences as thresholds: spaces where what’s real has room to breathe.
I care about this work because I’ve lived what it means to rebuild a life from the ground up, to keep choosing wonder when the world tries to make you small. That’s why your story speaks to me so deeply. Choosing each other was the easy part. What I admire so much is the brave part: you’ve chosen hope, again and again, even when it wasn’t easy.
What I bring to your day is more than a plan, it’s more than an eye for art, it’s more than the experience to move with ease through shifting terrain and weather. The true soul of what I bring is presence grown from the years I spent learning how to hold stories tenderly. From there, I translate feeling into experiences and imagery that feels alive. I know how to create calm in wildness, how to guide you when the wind picks up or the plan shifts, and how to recognize the quiet moments that matter most.
My promise: you’ll never feel like you’re performing. You’ll just be you… anchored, open, seen… in surroundings that rise up to meet you and mirror the love you’ve built.
clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose
Why me, when there are so many incredible photographers out there?
Because at the end of the day, what matters most isn’t the photos themselves… it’s how fully you feel seen, held, and understood within them, and throughout the entire process that brought you to the destination. Truly, I do not show up just to plan, and take photos. I show up to hold space, to witness, and THAT is what allows me to harmonize what I see into art you get to keep forever.
At the end of the day, you two deserve someone who sees the whole story. Someone who knows how to hold space for love that’s weathered storms and still wakes up reaching for hope, and for wonder.
I help you build your days from the inside out: grounded in presence, guided by intention, and designed to become the foundation for how you’ll keep choosing each other long after this experience has become memory.
My work is rooted in my values: sovereignty, belonging, wildness, and devotion. I bring both fire and foundation: hype when it’s time to celebrate, and quiet holding during the moments that give your wild joy meaning. I don’t direct from ego, and I don’t flatten complexity into trend. I listen, I adapt, and I build an experience that feels like the love you’ve built, inside and out.
“Kyle is not simply a photographer. She is a dream maker, a storyteller, and someone who pours her whole heart into what she does. And thanks to her, we have not only incredible photos of our engagement, but also we have a living, breathing memory that feels just as magical every time we look at it. If you’re searching for someone who will go above and beyond to make your story unforgettable, Kyle is absolutely the one.”

connection & clarity
-
You reading this now means we’ve already taken a step towards laying this foundation during your initial curiosity call :)
Before anything else, I listen. I want to understand what brought you here, what this moment means to you, your values, and what “home” feels like in your love story.
From that first consult, we’ll explore how you want the day to feel: the rhythm, the pacing, the landscape that matches your story. This is where we start building the emotional architecture that guides everything else.
This, of course, is ongoing as we continue to get to know one another through the planning process :)
-
Once we know we’re aligned, I’ll send over a customized proposal (that’s this thang!) outlining coverage, inclusions, and travel. You’ll get the chance to go over any remaining questions you have as well as any recalibrations that need to happen with regards to the overall vision. I’m here to help!
-
A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your dates! From there, I officially become your creative co-conspirator and guide and the fun can really begin 🚀✨
custom proposal & booking
logistics & emotional architecture
-
Before we dive into logistics, we pause to look ahead — not just to the day itself, but twenty years from now. What’s going to matter most about this experience? How do you want to remember it, and what will it stand for in the story of your life together?
This is where we center your values, your pace, and what feels true. Everything we plan — the timeline, the landscape, the rituals — grows out of that foundation, so your elopement isn’t just beautiful now, it’s meaningful for decades to come.
-
This is where intention and understanding meets logistics. I help you shape the flow of your elopement day (or days) so they reflects your values and energy. I’m guided by your values, what I understand brings you calm, what sparks your joy, what grounds you. We’ll talk about rituals, timing, and how to build natural pauses for connection. You’ll get personalized location suggestions, lodging ideas, and travel and permit guidance. Every piece is chosen for meaning, not just aesthetics.
If you’ve opted in to my white glove concierge service, all scheduling and booking will be taken care of for you, so all you need to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to you ;)
You’ve got unlimited access to me during this time and I welcome any and all communication - including but not limited to: dad jokes, dog pics, hey-we’re-in-town-wanna-grab-a-beer, i’m feeling things, check out this poem I wrote, etc. etc. etc.
-
Your package includes a sunrise or sunset adventure session here in the Jewel of the Sierras! ⛰﹏↟↟ And oh hey, we finally get to meet! 🤠
Together, we’ll plan + write your love letter to this season that is leading you up to your vows.
You’ll get to celebrate this moment, we’ll have a blast, and then we can chat over beverages about how excited we are for the incredible moments yet to unfold.
your Tahoe engagement session 🏹
-
At intervals leading up to our departure, I’ll run you through checklists, send packing lists, and make sure we’re all feeling good and ready to go with our plan.
-
I guide you through the process of making your marriage legal, and I’ll be there to capture it on film, too 🥰
-
Your trip unfolds with adventure and togetherness and basking in the feeling of belonging deeply to one another and living your life beyond your wildest dreams, together.
Including but not limited to:
Hoping Elijah Wood shows up in Hobbiton????
Waterfalls! Cliffs! Views that make your heart beat faster
Sexy on a sailboat
Campfire on a beach???
Roses, roses, roses
And, of course,
You promise to keep showing up in love, in hope, with your whole heart, forever, and ever, an arrow forever drawn towards love, and pointed towards home.
This is where everything we’ve shaped together takes form. I’ll be there to guide when you need direction and to disappear when you need space. My approach is grounded, intuitive, and emotionally attuned. I’ll document what it all felt like, not just what it looked like. Whether you’re hiking through mist, slow dancing by a lake, or sharing vows under rain, I’ll make sure you feel safe, seen, and free to just be as you say your vows to the love of your life.
I will cry, it’s in the contract. xx
let's get y'all married!
-
You’ll get sneak peaks within 72h so you can relive the day while it’s still glowing fresh.
Your full gallery will arrive in a beautiful, shareable, online gallery within 12 weeks, with complementary album design and an heirloom album you can purchase at cost +10%.
But my work doesn’t end with delivery. It continues in the way this experience and these photographs become part of your life.
The memories become a map you can return to: proof of what you built, a reminder of how it felt, and a compass to point you forever towards what you promised each other matters most.
-
We keep hanging out & stay friends forever. :)
Oh and, y’all let me know when I can come document the stateside afterparty ;)
The ongoing story
If y’all dream it, we can do it.
YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY
what it’s like to work with me
“You have no idea: Kyle will go to the ends of the earth to make this experience magical for you. And it will be aligned to everything that matters to you from the inside out. They just don’t make people who work with this kind of depth and integrity anymore. She’s the best decision you can make if you care not just about eloping or renewing your vows in this beautiful, adventurous, exciting way, but also that your experience actually gets built from everything that’s still going to matter to your marriage decades later.”
HEATHER & BEN CELEBRATED 15 years of love by renewing their vows in the valley of fire
this is quiet joy — chosen for you, so you can rest in the glow of belonging to each other
Yours is a kind of love that’s born not from ease…but from endurance, grace under fire, and the courage to choose hope again and again. Tempered by loss, shaped by resilience, and softened by grace... the two of you built your faith in love after the ache of loss, and the beauty of finding each other anyway. These days you’ll spend making and celebrating your vows are a ritualized step into a belonging that will hold you for the rest of your lives. It’s a way to honor the lives you’ve lived, the past selves you’re now strong and wise enough to care for, and the future you’re choosing with both hands open. You don’t need to prove you’ve survived… you are here to step into the joy of how you live.

A FEW THINGS I HEARD YOU DREAM ABOUT FOR YOUR ADVENTURE… BESIDES MARRYING THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
A walk through a Middle Earth Meadow
Waterfalls. We need to be surrounded by waterfalls (hello, Milford Sound)
“Mild to moderate hiking” so not Mount Doom
A ceremony location moms can get to 🥹
Looking sexy on a sailboat
Slow dancing in a park
Riding horses to Rohan?
Taking in the view from a hot air balloon
A visit to Hobbiton (obviously)
Let’s keep dreaming!
“We could not have felt more relaxed or comfortable around Kyle...
Kyle is truly a natural at holding space for the most tender and vulnerable parts of people. We were immediately at ease with her… and the way that ease filters through to her way of helping us be present during our day, and how well she knew our stories, was all such a gift.
— Lauryn & Matthew
Renewed their vows on the Oregon Coast and Redwood Forest
We never felt posed. It was just fun, and meant so much that she wove in everything she knew about us into these days.”

Concierge Service Add On
You deserve to feel cared for through every part of this process, not just on the day itself.
The Concierge Service Add-On is for couples who want the planning to feel as effortless as the experience.
It’s a full-spectrum coordination service that builds on my standard planning support. I’ll handle the details that usually take hours of back-and-forth: things like lodging, vendors, and experiences, all booked directly in your name using your credit card or payment links. You keep ownership of every reservation, and I manage the moving pieces.
We’ll decide together how you want approvals to work. Some couples prefer a completely hands-off approach, while others like to review each step. From there, I take care of the logistics, timelines, confirmations, and communication so everything flows smoothly.
Think of it as having a calm, detail-minded guide who makes sure your entire elopement—from travel to timeline—unfolds seamlessly, allowing you to stay grounded in what really matters: the experience itself.
For elopements that span up to four days, the Concierge Service Add-On is USD 5000. That includes full coordination for every element of your elopement experience—vendors, lodging, activities, and timelines—handled with care so you can stay present in the moment.
If you’d like your entire journey designed with the same attention, you can scale this experience with the Extended Trip Design option to plan your entire trip an additional USD 4000. It covers your full two-week itinerary: all lodging and travel logistics, local experiences, and daily flow. I’ll manage the details start to finish while you move through the trip feeling grounded, rested, and free to take it all in.
I offer the Concierge experience to just two couples each year, so each story unfolds with the presence, calm, and depth it deserves.
-
Full-spectrum coordination and care — from vendor sourcing and booking to travel logistics and timeline management.
I’ll handle communication, confirmations, and details using your provided payment method so you can stay grounded in the experience itself. You keep ownership of every reservation; I manage the flow and ensure everything connects seamlessly.This service can expand to include your entire trip, from arrival to departure, for couples who want every part of their journey designed with the same attention as their elopement. I take on only two concierge clients per year to ensure each story receives my full focus and care.
-
We’ll start with a shared vision and decide together how you’d like approvals to work—whether you prefer a totally hands-off approach or to review each step. From there, I coordinate directly with vendors, secure bookings, and maintain a living logistics document that keeps everything organized and accessible.
-
This add-on is designed for couples who want a seamless, grounded, and genuinely stress-free experience. You value artistry, presence, and connection, and you’d rather spend your time soaking in the moment than juggling details behind the scenes.
Contract Updates / Questions
-
Your package includes an album hand-designed by me, discounted to purchase at cost + 10% :)
-
I’m going to work with you guys to make your three day adventure as comfortable and accommodating as possible. Beyond the standard customization, you’ll have a full-day travel break so we can island hop with ease and you can feel truly relaxed on your elopement days <3
-
I always cover any permit fees below $200 for my clients. This courtesy is extended to $600 for my New Zealand clients :)
-
Okay, so I put a ton of thought into this because I wanted a way for couples to feel completely supported without turning their elopement into a project. The Concierge Service is basically full-spectrum coordination: I handle all the moving pieces of your elopement that normally take hours of research, emails, and logistics so you don’t have to. (This can be scaled to cover your whole trip, if you like).
We start by deciding together how you want to approach the budget and approvals (some couples want total hands-off ease, others prefer to sign off on each booking). Once that system’s in place, I move forward making reservations for things like lodging, vendors, and experiences using your credit card or direct payment links, so everything stays in your name.
Think of it as me being your behind-the-scenes manager for the whole experience: organizing, confirming, communicating, and troubleshooting — so you get to stay focused on the part that actually matters: showing up, being present, and having the best time of your lives.
The bow is drawn, steady and sure;
The arrow, aimed toward home.
