Creating a relaxed, meaningful elopement day, one that feels like a dream from start to finish.

Calm. Present.
Unreal in the best way.
When nature shows up and it’s just the two of you thinking,
“I can’t believe this is ours.”
“This entire day has felt like dream."
One of my couples kept saying this on their elopement day and I smiled because:
“That’s exactly how your wedding day should feel.”
That's the feeling.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
I’ll guide you through it so your day actually feels this way.
We can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Thank you SO MUCH for everything! 10000/10 experience!!!"

"Love love love !!!!!
Seriously the best time ever!
We can’t wait to come back and do it again! Thank you SO MUCH for everything! 10000/10 experience!!!"
For the couples who want epic Tahoe views
and a day that feels calm, present… and a little unreal.
You and your love in a breathtaking location in Lake Tahoe, exchanging vows with the perfect backdrop of mountains, forests, or lakes, and feeling completely in sync with nature and each other.
An elopement experience that is adventurous, meaningful, and stress-free, allowing you to focus solely on each other and the journey you're embarking on together.
Just Imagine...
Meaningful & Authentic
That's how your wedding day should be.
Your Lake Tahoe elopement photographer, the one who helps you plan your day, keeps things running smoothly, fixes your dress, and probably tears up behind the camera.
Your elopement should feel fun, real, and like you actually get to be in it, not stuck worrying about what’s next.
I want to know what lights you two up and what makes your connection yours, so we can create a day that feels like it was made just for you.
Some of my favorite Lake Tahoe spots include Sand Harbor, Logan Shoals Vista Point, and Emerald Bay.
Hey, I'm Kristin!
"We really wanted someone that was going to make our pictures fun while taking them and that’s exactly what we got."
