IT’S THE START OF YOUR ADVENTURE.
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.
I’m the kind of photographer who’ll help you plan your day, cheer you on, fix your dress, and probably tear up behind the camera. Your elopement should feel fun, real, and like you actually get to enjoy it.
I want to get to know what lights you two up, what makes your connection yours, and help create an elopement day that feels like it was made just for you.
Some of my favorite Lake Tahoe elopement spots include Sand Harbor, Logan Shoals Vista Point, and Hidden Beach.
Where intimacy meets adventure and your wedding is effortlessly you.
We're here to celebrate your love without boundaries.
"Kristin we cannot thank you enough! It was truly just the most perfect day, thank you for all your hard work making everything come together. You made it so EASY and the ability to feel relaxed and just be able to enjoy every second of our wedding day is such a gift. We are so happy, thank you so much!" - Jaime & Cody

Your entire day will be customized for you... just show up! Let's be real, elopement planning can be stressful for some couples, but with my custom elopement planning I take that stress away for you.
