Colorado National Monument Proposal

A few months ago, G reached out to me about photographing his proposal to his partner L while they were in Colorado for a three week road trip. Uhm, heck yes! We started with locations around Colorado that they would be, and ended up landing on Grand Junction, Colorado where I am based!

From there, I sent over some of my favorite locations around Grand Junction. If you’re curious what a few of them are, check out my blog post here about my favorite spots in Grand Junction. He decided on Colorado National Monument, and I sent over a 25 page guide that goes into probably way too much detail about the Monument. Because there are so many different viewpoints and environments in and around the monument, I want my couples to have the ultimate say in what the backdrop to their photos looks like!

G decided on one spot, and from there we planned time (around sunset), how to get L to not be tooooo suspicious, and I also headed up to the monument to record some videos of a few different spots in that one location (because there really are so many to choose from haha). After a few months of planning, the day was here and everything went perfectly!

Hi, I'm Kimberly 👋

Colorado elopement photographer, snack enthusiast, and your personal hype woman for ditching the traditional wedding entirely.

I spend most of my time wandering dirt roads around Crested Butte, the San Juans, and Denver finding the kind of spots that make you forget what stress even feels like. You know — the ones with the views that hit different at sunrise, where the wildflowers are doing too much, and the only witnesses are a couple of marmots and your dog in a tiny bandana.

If you're dreaming of vows somewhere wildly beautiful with zero seating charts involved, hi. That's literally what I do. You bring the love story. I'll bring the camera, the location ideas, and enough snacks to get us through golden hour.
