ABOUT US
Loverlane is shaped by Kat and Leo — partners in life and in telling love stories. Their work is rooted in connection, storytelling, and creating space for meaningful moments.
They began as wedding photographers, documenting love stories with care and intention. Over time, Kat’s role naturally expanded into coordination and officiating, allowing them to offer a more complete and supportive elopement experience.
Today, Kat leads coordination and officiates each ceremony, while Leo captures it all through photography — together creating intimate celebrations that feel personal, relaxed, and true to each couple.
With hundreds of weddings behind them, their focus remains the same: to help couples feel present, connected, and fully themselves on a day that matters most.
