back in the driver's seat and excites you!

Welcome Fellow Adventurers!



...and I can't wait for you to see the beauty that awaits as we take your
celebration to the places or activities that helped forge your connection! :-D


Your story deserves more than just a ceremony & a few portraits of you in
scripted, stiff poses.  No.  You two thrive on experiences, so your wedding
adventure will mirror your lifestyle--GO.  SEE.  DO!   This is why I believe so
strongly in multi-day or full-day adventure packages. IMAGINE: 

Your celebration starts by honoring the things that brought you together-- a
hike, ride, climb, capped by a sunset beer the day before... A slow roll in the
morning for breakfast fun,  easing into a hike/climb/paddle to celebrate the
day. 

With an eye to sunset, you return to camp and change into your wedding finest
for your emotional "first look" where you see each other in your garments for
the first time.  The moment you've waited for is finally here!

Heading out, we hike/ride/paddle/Jeep to "the spot" you've chosen to commit your
forevers to each other. The evening melts into a glorious sunset as you share
your vows to each other in the peaceful setting.  The stars watch your first
dance, the owls hoot your champagne toast, and the moon ushers you back to camp
for a cozy campfire celebration.

Beautiful, meaningful, personal, these moments are only for YOU, all captured by
my quiet & discreet candid photography throughout the adventure that allows you
to focus on each other. 





... THROW OUT IT OUT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVENTURE WEDDING & ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE IS
SO DIFFERENT! 


WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ELOPEMENTS & WEDDINGS...



Sporto - Planner - Photographer -Traveler - Your Cheerleader & Guide to create
the wedding YOU want!


I'M KATE :D


HELLO!

...I believe following our desire for an adventurous, intimate ceremony in the
desert would have spoken much more to who we are as a couple. And knowing what I
know now, following up with a family party would have been a great way to bring
it all back together with those we love most. 

This experience was a learning that fuels my desire to support couples like you
who also believe in something more for their wedding.  Your story is what
matters, and you deserve a wedding that shows it beautifully.


LOOKING BACK, OUR DAY WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT... 


...MY HUSBAND, PETE, AND I WANTED TO DO A "GEOCACHE" WEDDING, DROPPING ONLY THE
DATE +  GPS COORDINATES TO OUR FAVORITE UTAH DESERT SPOT TO A FEW LOVINGLY
SELECTED GUESTS.  ULTIMATELY, WE ENDED UP HAVING A LARGER OUTDOOR CEREMONY AT
HOME IN WISCONSIN, AND INCORPORATED OUR LOVE OF ADVENTURE WITH A BACKPACKING
HONEYMOON INTO THE GRAND CANYON WITH SOME OF OUR BESTIES :-) 



AND, I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WANT TO INCLUDE ADVENTURE... 


MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN MORE TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONIES CAN FEEL LIKE WHAT'S
EXPECTED...  WHERE DO WE GET ENCOURAGEMENT THAT THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE
JUST AS (OR MORE!) BEAUTIFUL AND ALLOW US TO BE TRUE TO WHO WE ARE & VALUE
EXPERIENCE AND NOT THINGS? 




WHY AM I SO PASSIONATE ABOUT ADVENTURE WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS?


FOR YOU TO HAVE AN AMAZING, 100% YOU WEDDING EXPERIENCE MORE EASILY, WITH
WAAAAAAY LESS STRESS & MORE FUN AND MEANING THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED POSSIBLE!



BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT SEATING CHARTS, CHAIR GARLANDS, GUEST GIFTS OR
BRIDESMAID DRESSING GOWNS?  WHERE'S THE PLANNING INFO FOR COUPLES THAT WANT TO
GO CLIMB, KAYAK, BACKPACK, OR SOMETHING ELSE "ADVENTURE-LEANING" FOR THEIR
WEDDING?!?  THAT'S WHERE I COME IN!  




Organized & adventurous, my life of camping, cycling, climbing, backpacking,
kayaking, traveling and so much more has taught me to explore the outdoors
happily & safely, and to look ahead & how to prep us for the "what ifs".  And,
my ~20 year corporate career in Corporate Special Projects taught me how to come
into any situation and create a plan + clear next steps to make
seemingly-impossible things happen for you with style.

All that combined means that from our very first call together, you have a
one-stop-shop guide + partner + cheerleader helping you design your wedding
adventure from the first ideas, through supporting & documenting your amazing
adventure, out to delivering the album showing your story at the very end. My
goal?
