"Our pictures turned out so magical."

"Kristin and her husband did our dreamy wedding pictures.
The pictures turned out magical. 
Kristin was communicative and easy to work with. She wanted to deliver based on my vision which I appreciated so much. She worked with us on everything we wanted and was flexible which made it easy for us. She was just as excited as we were for our wedding. Thanks Kristin for capturing our dream photos and all the feelings in our day!"

- Holly and Teddy

"Absolutely amazing
photographer to work with!" 

"She is so passionate and excited about your big day. Her photos captured all the essence of everything we are and we had so much fun with her! Seriously cannot say enough nice things!"

- Allie and Carson

"She cares about you as a person and listens to what you want. "

Kristin is the best photographer I’ve ever had. She pays such close attention to detail, and is so kind and creative! She has so many ideas and is a natural at what she does. She knows exactly where to place you for the best lighting. She cares about you as a person and listens to what you want. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful, confident, and happy!

- Brecken and Kirsti

" It just feels like you get a friend when you hire Kristin."

"Absolute best of the best. She is super easy going and easy to work with, handled any hurdle we threw at her (and there were a lot), and her photos are beautiful. Quick turn around as well, and honestly, it just feels like you get a friend when you hire Kristin. She helped us feel comfortable for our engagement photos and helped coordinate our wedding day- always going above and beyond. Well worth the cost and then some, no need to look any further for a perfect photographer.

- Hailie and Justin

Kristin is outgoing, easy to talk to, down to earth, extremely professional, and hilarious!  Throughout the whole wedding, she made sure after every new pose that my dress was fixed, my hair looked good, and my veil was straight. The photos Kristin captured were all absolutely stunning, and I’m so happy that we will get to look at and cherish hundreds of so perfectly captured moments for the rest of our lives.

a little behind the scenes..

Let's adventure..
shall we?

We'll Plan Your Entire Day

Your day will be filled with adventure that fits your vibe from start to finish.

Don't worry, I'm not going to plan a gnarly hike if that isn't your thing! 

And honestly.. we don't have to hike either! 
Hiking is NOT a requirement for your elopement because we can adventure in other ways too! 

You two just have to show up on your day, have a boatload of fun, be present, & most importantly.. get married!

"We loved working with you and the final product is perfection!
Thank you Kristin for making our dream wedding a reality so quickly!"

- Stacie and Tom

"She made our dream wedding a reality so quickly!"

and to top it off

We can bring you a husband and wife photo team on your adventure!
You can customize your package by adding on a second-shooter... my husband!

Just imagine..
You and your love, cruising down the slopes on your snowboard/skis while two photographers chase you down the mountain AND capture it all!  Beers, giggles, and lunch after!
 
Sounds like a freakin' blast doesn't it!? 

Ok so we don't have to include extreme sports on your day - we can do something on the "chill side" of the spectrum without worry of faceplanting in the snow.  Let's go!




elope with us

but wait.. there's more!

When you add-on a second-shooter to your package, we can marry you at the same time!

Now you won't have to worry about finding an Officiant who will adventure with you on your elopement day!

So if we're hiking, exploring, or cruising the slopes,
we can get it all done at once for you!

How cool is that!?

next steps..

elope with us

Where are you based? Do you travel?
We are based in the Northern California Foothills region, near Auburn, California. Yes we do travel.  Our most popular locations are Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park.
Can we have a second-shooter?
Yes! My husband is my second-shooter so you can have a  husband & wife photo team! This is so fun with posing & prompting couples as we show you exactly what to do and feel confident while doing it. Having a second-shooter will allow for more photos with a different perspective!  
How long does it take to get our photos back?
Turnaround time is 5 weeks for a full elopement/wedding gallery. I deliver a handful of teasers 24 hours after the wedding/elopement.  Full sneak peek delivery is 1 week after the wedding!
Will all our photos be edited?
You will receive a beautiful gallery of fully edited images and in high resolution digital format. All the images in your gallery will have the same style of editing that you see on my website.

Frequently
asked questions

What if you have never shot at our location?
We do our research prior to shooting at any location we are unfamiliar with.  This would include locations outside of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite as we are experts in those spots!

Will we get any black and white images in our gallery?
Oh gosh yes!  I am a black and white fanatic.  Some images reflect strong emotions and are better expressed in black and white.  If you are hopeful for extra black and whites, just say so, and we'll be sure to include more! 


How far in advance do I need to book?
It is best to book at least 1-2 years in advance to guarantee our availability!  We book up quickly every year!
