What couples are saying

- 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.

- Holly and Teddy

"Kristin and her husband made the experience so fun"

I really wanted someone that was going to make my pictures fun while taking them and that’s exactly what I got. Kristin and her husband made the experience so fun and got so many amazing pictures, some that we didn’t even know were captured. I loved that we were able to capture so many amazing pictures and that our vision for them was exactly what we got.

"The photos Kristin captured were all absolutely stunning,"

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.

Wedding & Elopement
Photography

As a documentary style wedding photographer, our focus is to capture natural, organic moments as they happen throughout your wedding day.  After your wedding comes to an end, I will piece together a beautiful wedding gallery to tell the story of your day.  We focus on capturing the emotional depth, passion,  personal connections, and candid moments throughout your day.

Documentary Style
Photography

Capturing raw emotions & moments to tell your story..

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”

Does this sounds like you.. your focus is to have dream photos, skip the big wedding, find a secluded spot and exchange your "I do's"?   This is your wedding and you can do whatever you want!  Elopements are romantic, intimate, and fun.  I would love to help you create your vision and capture your dream elopement in the location you chose.  One popular destination for elopements is Yosemite National Park!

You want to find a secluded spot with your love and say
"I do."
