Hi there,   I’m Kimberly.

(she/her)

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

We got dressed on opposite sides of the car in the dark, had a first look as the sun crept over the mountains, and read each other vows that were real and weird and full of inside jokes that we could never, ever say in front of our families.

Then we made pancakes in the back of the truck and jumped into an alpine lake.

And then we met up with our families and did it again. More traditional vows, gorgeous location, happy crying, the whole thing.

They got to be there. We got to have our moment. Nobody had to compromise.

I didn't plan that day because it sounded cute. I planned it because it was the only version of a wedding that actually sounded like us.

That's what I help couples build now. And if you just read that and thought "wait, we can do that?"

Yes. You can. And I'm the person to help you pull it off.

Stuff you probably didn’t ask

but I’m telling you anyway

About Denver Elopement Photographer Kimberly Crist

I've coordinated more family arrivals at golden hour than I can count and I still get butterflies every single time.

I eloped with my best friend and cried during our vows. Then we had a second ceremony that evening with our immediate families. 10/10 would recommend all of it.

Hiking is really just an excuse for me to eat pastries in scenic locations, let’s be honest.

If there’s water, I’m in it. Temperature and common sense be damned.

My dog and I (and a suspicious amount of snacks ) live out of the back of my car all summer.

Yes, I’ll hike anywhere in a wedding dress to show a couple what their location could look like…

The person you’ll be hanging out with…

When I’m not photographing couples, I’m probably off exploring dirt roads in my ‘99 Land Cruiser, over caffeinating, and trying to convince my dog Flapjack that he’s not the main character (he is).

Why you’re in good hands…

  • 100+ couples photographed across Colorado

  • Fully insured (yes, it matters, yes I have it)

  • I cry at every single parent dance (and still nail the shot)

  • Every gallery backed up in three separate places because losing your wedding photos is not a thing that happens on my watch

Here’s what I handle:


→ Finding locations that are gorg and accessible
→ Building a timeline that breathes so you don’t feel rushed
→ Permits, logistics, backup plans, all that “stuff”
→ Making sure you have snacks (the most important part)

You just show up. We hang out. We make something beautiful together. That's genuinely what it feels like every time and it's why I still lose my mind a little bit on wedding days.
