Hey friends! If you’re new here, I’m Kaitlyn, the lead photographer / videographer here at Skyewater 💙 We specialize in calm, connected, and water-centric elopements and small weddings for couples getting married in the PNW. A bit more about me:
💦 I feel most at home when I’m on, in, or near the water. I was born in Florida, but spent two years in Reno for graduate school where my thesis focused on exploring the Nevada desert as someone who’s only ever lived in the wettest state in the nation. After living in Colorado for seven years, I am now absolutely loving the magic of the Pacific Northwest.
🎨 I consider myself a creative first and foremost; no matter where life takes me, I know I’ll always be doing something creative. I grew up studying art, primarily drawing and painting, but also have written lots of poetry and someday hope to publish a creative nonfiction book.
💍 I am married to an incredibly supportive and thoughtful person, Vaughn, who I’ve been with for over 13 (!) years now. We spent our honeymoon in our first RV traveling cross-country through 25+ states, and now have our third RV (a Mallard travel trailer we call the Ducky, towed by our truck named Bruce) that we lived in for the first 12 months here in Washington before renting a place in West Seattle’s Alki Beach area.
🏳️🌈 I am q***r. It’s taken me many years feeling comfortable enough in my own skin to be able to say that aloud, but it is a part of who I am and I truly believe the world is a better place when we all feel welcomed, supported, and loved.
📸 I am incredibly grateful to have documented 200+ couples on camera over the last decade, and I don’t plan to stop any time soon. I connect most with others who also value sustainability, inclusivity, and slowing things down to make wedding days feel more at ease. I even recently started a podcast with fellow wedding vendor and talented filmmaker Kaylyn from called .podcast where we’re shaking things up in the wedding industry to focus more on bringing the things we care about to the forefront of our work.
Thank you so much for being here. ✨
