But now what? If you aren’t going the traditional route, what are you doing?
The rules, the budget, the things you feel you have to do instead of want to do, and ask yourself one important question.
Do you picture yourselves saying your vows in front of snow capped mountains and turquoise glacier water as the sun sets around you?
Have you always imagined a candlelit, romantic backyard setting with your closest family and friends? What about a live band playing just for you and your guests? And a donut tower, because you don’t do cake.
Maybe there’s a picture you saw one time of a couple in the most beautiful place you could imagine, but you don’t even know where places like this exist, let alone how you would get there. As your photographer and your guide, I will help you plan the day of your dreams.
whatever it is
you CAN have it all.
Elopements and Intimate Weddings give you the chance to do whatever you want, wherever you want, however you want, with whoever you want. YOU get to make the rules. Say goodbye to the stress and the spotlight, goodbye to the long guest list and details you really don’t care about, and say YES to the things that mean the most to you.

My name is Kristen and I’m here to photograph, guide and encourage you to wed your way.
I document love stories for couples who want something unique, and whose focus is each other and having a meaningful, intentional experience on the day they say I do.

In their words:
"Kristen quickly made us feel comfortable and made the whole journey super FUN!
I honestly don't even know where to begin, Kristen is so talented and such a genuine person. She made our elopement feel so special even if it was small and intimate.
My husband and I never had professional photos taken before and we were quite nervous at first, but Kristen quickly made us feel comfortable and made the whole journey super FUN! I can't recommend her enough, the locations she suggested were amazing and the pictures turned out stunning. I cannot thank her enough for the lasting memories she has created. "

"I cannot say enough good things about Kristen and her work! We instantly connected.
I knew I wanted her to capture our special day even before we were engaged! Our engagement photos were breathtaking. She captured us as a couple perfectly. We had so many compliments on those photos. We now have our wedding photos back and, once again, they did not disappoint. My husband said repeatedly throughout the day “you can tell she loves what she does”.
Her professionalism and work ethic are next level. Her turnaround time with her work is so impressive. Even though our wedding day has come and gone, I know it won’t be the last time we work with Kristen! I cannot wait to work with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
Jordanna + Scott
"Each time we were with Kristen - it was natural, light hearted and fun.
My husband and I recently looked back at our engagement and wedding gallery. As we went through the pictures they brought us back to those special moments. The silliness we had on a cold winter session, the nervous jitters getting ready before our first look, the tears of joy as we held hands and were becoming husband and wife. That is exactly what we were hoping for in our photographer and she nailed it. Each time we were with Kristen - it was natural, light hearted and fun.
She was in constant communication with us and was extremely helpful navigating pandemic protocols. If you could see how big our smiles are as we type this it would only be a fraction of how happy we are that we went with Kristen. Her talent is exquisite and our photos are gorgeous. We are eternally grateful for her capturing these beautiful moments we get to relive for years to come.”
