hi there, I’m Kimberly.
(she/her)
It’s not about the flowers, the dress, or even the location.
When you choose to elope, you choose to forgo the tradition of a large wedding in favor of an intimate experience that refocuses the day back onto the two of you
We’ll get along if you…
prefer to be barefoot at all times.
cannot resist taking a plunge in a swimming hole.
get flustered & nauseous just thinking about public speaking.
would rather relax in nature than tackle it.
love a good campfire & have unintentionally melted your shoe soles before.
cannot stomach the sound of an alarm clock, but will gladly get up for sunrise.
are ready to introduce yourself to any dog, any time, any where.
feel equally at home in a tent & on your couch.
It’s holding hands during the ceremony instead of standing awkwardly across from each other. It’s getting ready together instead of only spending a few hours together in the evening. It’s intimate. It’s exciting. It’s you.
I grew up thinking traditional weddings were the only way to get married - I thought I had to get married in a church with 200 of my not very close friends and family and that was it. There was no room for creativity or excitement or exploring or truly experiencing the day. So I decided a wedding wasn’t for me - and spent the early years of my life deciding that I would never get married.
But then something changed, and I realized that I didn’t have to say my vows in front of hundreds of people, but that instead I could say them to just one person, the one person that matters. And I realized that we could spend the morning of our wedding day together making breakfast, that we do the things we love to do together, that we could spend our wedding day celebrating us in the most “us” way possible.
Whether you never imagined your wedding day like me, or you’re just looking for something a little more low key with way less planning and pressure, eloping doesn’t mean one thing anymore - it can be just you two or your closest friends and family, but it is about reclaiming the day for you two and what you want.
So if you’re looking for some insight into how to elope, you’re in the right spot.
stuff you probably didn’t ask
but I’m telling you anyway
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.
I eloped with my best friend and cried during our vows. 10/10 would recommend.
I actually love hiking but I’m not into making a couple hike on their wedding day and TBH I don’t really want to too.
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 they’re location could look like…
The Person You’ll be Hanging Out With All Day
When I’m not photographing couples, I’m probably off exploring dirt roads in my Land Cruiser, over caffeinating, and trying to convince my dog he’s not the main character (he definitely is).
I’m originally from Ohio but have lived in Colorado for 11+ years and now spend most my time chasing mountain light and new trails. Basically: if it involves snacks, good weather, or an excuse to wear a beanie, I’m in!!!
Why You’re in Good Hands
100+ couples photographed across Colorado
Constantly scouting hidden gem locations you won’t find on Pinterest
Known to cry at vows and still nail the shot every single time
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 ready to laugh, explore, and say your vows somewhere that feels like you. Drink your coffee, wander around, laugh when things get weird.
Why You’ll Want me There
Because you want a photographer who cares about your experience as much as your photos. Who helps you plan, adapt, and actually enjoy the day instead of performing for the camera.
Let’s Make this a Thing
Whether you’ve mapped the whole thing out or just know you want cake and vows somewhere pretty, I’ll help you build a day that feels like you.
