Swell & Stone

Kat at Swell & Stone is an adventure wedding photographer with over a decade of experience shooting for outdoor brands like REI, Kelty, and Outdoor Research. Her approach centers on storytelling—capturing the complete narrative of each wedding day, from the planned moments to the unexpected ones that make the memory unforgettable. Whether clients are eloping with just two people or bringing fifteen close friends and family, Kat documents each moment, person, and experience as it unfolds. Her philosophy embraces non-traditional weddings and off-the-beaten-path locations, recognizing that adventure weddings don't have to follow standard norms. From May through October, she shoots throughout New England (Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Upstate New York). During colder months, she travels primarily to the desert southwest, including Southern California, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada. Kat offers full-day planning support, helping couples choose ceremony locations, select specialized vendors, and plan logistics like timing, gear, and seasonal considerations. She will wake before dawn to capture sunrise light and stay past sunset to photograph dancing under the stars.
