About Wentzek Photo - North Georgia Elopement Photographer

Kayla Wentzek Murner

North Georgia Elopement Photographer

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I believe that your wedding day should reflect what you and your beloved want; **not** what others want. Yep–I said it. Your wedding day can be your greatest adventure yet, and your decision to elope can trailblaze the way for more intention in your life. How? Eloping is a coming home to yourself and your beloved because you’re boiling all the details of your day down to what really matters. With that extra space in your day, void of distractions, you're truly free to live out your day with intention. I would be so thrilled and honored to come alongside you and help capture and craft your best day ever!

And, I want you to know: I’m more than **just** a photographer. I care about your experience, so while I may take beautiful photos of your special day, my job goes beyond that. I give you all the tools in your toolbox to have an incredible day that's intentional to your love story--some of those tools include questionnaires, a 90+ page guide on how to elope in nature (exclusive to Wentzek Photo couples), unlimited consultation, and location scouting help. I eloped too, and can empathize with planning stress because I had ZERO help, and was so lost. I don't want that for you, and I want your experience to be as stress-free as possible!

Best of Zola 2024

    Gentle, loving, and creative photographer

    Kayla is the right choice when planning your elopement day. She is truly passionate about the work she does and creates a truly memorable experience for her couples. I’ve seen her go above and beyond and create beautiful images that tell a story. Anyone would be lucky to have Kayla with them on their elopement day.

    BOOK KAYLA NOW!

    Kayla is an absolute DREAM to work with! My husband had her secretly follow us around when he proposed, and she was such a delight! We were so comfortable with her and she took the most amazing photos. So, when we heard she did elopements … we knew we had to go with her! She walked us through the entire elopement process, researched the area to find the BEST space for us to have the ceremony, and kept us updated on everything leading up to the big day. We wanted a sunrise ceremony and she was able to figure out the exact area inside Cloudland Canyon that would give us the best light. Our pictures are absolutely breathtaking due to this. Not only is Kayla an amazing photographer, but she’s truly a delight to work with. She has the best energy and she is SO kind and patient! If you’re thinking about eloping, use Kayla. She knows her stuff and knows how to make sure you have the most perfect day.

    Professional, friendly, and deeply invested

    Kayla is the absolute best! She is so considerate and helpful and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to make sure we had the best day— she double checked our location and provided a backup when we needed it, built our fire when our fire starter didn’t work, and ran back and forth to our cars when we forgot things. She’s a joy to work with, easy to talk to, and worth every penny. Not to mention our photos are INCREDIBLE. Love love love. 10/10.

    Hands down the best photographer!

    Kayla is an incredible photographer! My husband and I decided to elope about a month before our ceremony date. We were so overwhelmed with all of the decision making involved. Thankfully, we had Kayla to help us. She made us a detailed list of potential locations, gave recommendations for other vendors, and helped us have the most perfect ceremony! We were shocked when we got our images back. She captured our ceremony, the emotions and the beauty of it, perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I have recommended her to every engaged couple I've met!

    SO HAPPY WE HIRED HER!!!

    Kayla is absolutely amazing and the sweetest ever, and working with her was such a joy! She really cares so much about what she does and that shows in her work. No detail gets overlooked! I also truly appreciate how important Leave No Trace ethics are to Kayla. If you're looking for an elopement photographer in North Georgia (or anywhere!), I cannot recommend her enough!

Regardless of how simple or complex you envision your elopement, elopement planning is a HUGE part of the experience that I give couples, and one that I’ve inherently done for a long time! I care about your experience, and want you to have all the tools in your toolbox to have a day that completely embodies the two of you as a couple! The planning also goes hand-in-hand with the photos. The more planning and prepping we can do together, the better light we’ll have for your photos, the less crowds we’ll have taking them, and the more comfortable you’ll feel.
It’s such a vulnerable spot to be in front of the camera, and I empathize with that uncomfortable head space. My approach is to be your fly-on-the-wall. I pose minimally, and aim to get the two of you interacting with each other more than you’re interacting with me and my camera. I may get the two of you to hug tightly or look at the beautiful scenery so that you can connect with each other and the beautiful surroundings! Mostly though, I want to tell you that you already know how to pose. No one knows how to hold your partner's hand or hug them like you do, and that's worthy and important.
Yes, I do! Permits can be confusing and stressful, but I can help with that! I reach out to park rangers, search the web, and do research for you to find out if permits are needed for locations you’re interested in for your elopement! Permits can definitely seem like a downer, but it’s so important to make sure we’re getting permits so that we’re preserving the finite land we do have and respecting the rules and regulations of state/national parks so we can continue to elope in beautiful places!
In Georgia, you need an officiant to legally carry out a ceremony. However, I’m actually an ordained officiant, and can “say the words” for your ceremony! A lot of my couples end up hiring a close friend or family member to officiate their ceremony, but I’m happy to offer up complimentary officiant services to keep your ceremony as private or as simple as you want! I can’t take photos and officiate at the same time, but I can say the necessary words and sign for you!
Yes, 100%! Just because your wedding day may look different than a bigger, more traditional wedding doesn’t mean you can’t involve your loved-ones! Your day can be anything you make it, and if involving family speaks to your love story, do it! Elopements allow you the freedom to do anything you want, and to bring as much intention as possible into your day. That's why elopements are so powerful! Many couples want their loved-ones to be a part of how they're celebrating their day, and couldn't imagine them apart from that!
Big, traditional weddings have HUNDREDS of pounds of material waste. There’s also a huge carbon footprint with all of your guests traveling to your wedding either by plane or car. Elopements get rid of all the fluff, and simplify your day! You’re not focusing as much on material goods, but more on what you both want to DO for your day. Managing the waste of the two of you (and maybe a couple of loved-ones) is much more feasible than managing the waste of 100+ guests for a big wedding!
No! I specialize and only photograph small weddings and elopements 25 people or less. (:
