Hey friends! If you’re new here, I’m Kaitlyn, the lead photographer and videographer behind 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. The photos above were taken on a recent retreat on the coast of Oregon, which is where I first fell in love with the PNW and knew I’d end up living on the West Coast someday. I was born in Florida, spent two years in Reno for grad school, and after living in Colorado for seven years, Washington State is now my home.
🎨 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 memoir.
💍 I am married to an incredibly supportive and thoughtful person, Vaughn, who I’ve been with for over 14 (!) years now. We now live in West Seattle near Alki Beach.
🏳️🌈 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 talented filmmaker Kaylyn of 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. ✨
