"Kristin went above and beyond.

As someone who is very Type A, letting go of the planning and trusting a professional was a big step, but it made for a truly stress-free wedding day and allowed me to focus on what really mattered: my husband and our special day." - Kylie & Ryan

You get both an incredible experience and photos that actually feel like your memories.

I care about what your day represents.

Think of me as your go-to elopement photographer & planning sidekick.

Why I Do What I Do

I started focusing solely on elopements because I saw how freeing it is when couples throw out the rulebook and do what actually feels like them.

I love getting to create space for that kind of joy and connection, where you can laugh, breathe, explore, and just be.

Your photographer who gets in the water.

Some of my favorite images happen when couples forget about the camera and just live their day.

I’ll guide you when you need it, give you space when you don’t, and get right in the middle of the experience to get the shot.

Because I’m not here to photograph your elopement from the sidelines.

laughter and fun!

"My husband and I LOVED working with Kristin and Rick. They are so coordinated, thoughtful, & kind."

I 100% recommend choosing Kristin and strongly suggest you have Rick there too! They are both extremely talented and fun to be around. We truly embraced everything about the experience (even the cold) and it was a blast. I gave honest feedback about bouquet options and our initial itinerary and was so glad I did. The bouquet SCREAMED my personality and our itinerary was perfect. Kristin truly aims to give you exactly what you dream of on your special day and she goes above and beyond to make everything perfect." - Hannah & David
