"Kristin is very easy to work with, personable, and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out gorgeous - we feel so lucky to have found her!"
"She was so comforting, knew all the best areas for pictures and knew how to capture us perfectly."
Your Creative Elopement Photographer & Planner
"Kristin is the best! She makes your session so comfortable and the photos are absolutely stunning. Her style is just what we were looking for."
But it was something that I didn't pursue until later in life. I thought I had to fit what society considered "normal," so my "work life" began in the Veterinary World.
After 10 years of working in the Veterinary world and realizing that it wasn't the place for me, I said "See ya!" Then I began my business journey in the wedding photography world!
Weddings are fast-paced, can be stressful, and sometimes the working conditions can be quite wild! Weddings come and go so fast for the couple, and for me too! I like building connections with couples and in the fast-paced wedding world, it's hard to do!
I enjoy wedding planning and photographing, but with a wedding, there is no way I can be in two places at once. With elopements, I can be. So I can take your vision, dream up your day for you, plan it all, create your day, coordinate it all, and photograph it for you!
When I’m capturing your love story, my husband is right there beside me, ensuring we never miss a moment! He’s the one behind the second camera, ready to capture candid shots, unique perspectives, and those raw, in-between moments that make your day so special.
Not only is Rick an amazing photographer and has his own creative eye, but he’s also my adventure partner! He helps me scout stunning locations and makes sure your experience runs smoothly!
Rick is also my officiant! So when you bring on a husband and wife team for your day, Rick will officiate your ceremony so you won't have to find an officiant to hike that gnarly trail with you!
You’re getting an experienced guide dedicated to making your day as stress-free and memorable as possible.
"Kristin is the best! She makes your session so comfortable and the photos are absolutely stunning. Her style is just what we were looking for. We did both engagement and wedding photos. The turn around to receive our photos was quick as well. She did fix a few things in the photos when we requested and she did it happily. Excited to use her again!
