Your Colorado Elopement Photographer

Howdy, I'm Kimberly!

Sooooo yeah. We also drove up a 4x4 road in our sweatpants to get married.

We got dressed on either side of our Tacoma while our dog Flapjack wandered aimlessly, had a first look where we both were way more emotional than expected, and then read vows that were perfect, weird, and full of inside jokes I would die of embarrassment reading in front of anyone else.

Then we made pancakes in the back of the truck, ran around with Flapjack, and hopped butt naked into a 45 degree alpine lake at 8am.

Small family wedding ceremony beside a Colorado alpine lake, three miles up a 4WD road

The morning was just the two of us (and Flappers). But I have literally zero photos with my parents and I wanted them there at some point of the day. So we had a second, more formal ceremony with our immediate family in the evening, drank champagne, and ate cake 3 miles up a 4WD road.

So family got to be there. We got the morning to ourselves. Nobody had to compromise.

And our families never had to hear the very niche fart joke my partner snuck into his vows.

That's what I build for couples now. The moment to yourselves, the inside jokes, the pancakes after.

(Pancakes optional but strongly recommended.)

Oh hell yeah?

Okay, tell me everything

Planning stress is not part of the package.

It's on my plate so it's not on yours

Finding locations where the view is jaw dropping and you still smell good when you get there
Your marriage license, ceremony, vows, guest wrangling. There's a guide for all of it
A timeline that's honestly mostly for me and the lighting, because spontaneity is kinda the whole point
And yeah, the photos. Obviously.

Basically: you show up, get married, and eat something great. I've got the rest.
