Colorado Elopement
& Intimate Wedding
Pricing and Experience
A day that’s beter than perfect - it’s real.
Worried You’ll Feel Awkward In Front of the Camera?
Same. Everyone does.
The good news? You don’t have to “know what to do”.
That’s my job.
I’ll give you simple direction so it feels natural (no “put your hand here"). You’ll move, laugh, breathe, and actually have fun.
The other secret? Doing things together.
When you’re focused on each other instead of me, the camera disappears. That’s why I help you plan moments that make you feel connected and relaxed, so the real moments can happen on their own.
Half the time, you’ll forget I’m even there. And that’s when the good stuff shows up: the funny faces, the belly laugh, the “holy crap this is so us” kind of photos.
Because the best photos aren’t posed - they’re lived.

Real Testimonials
Samantha & Rocky
★★★★★
We decided to elope less than a week before the big day and Kimberly made everything completely effortless. She was in touch in the days prior location scouting and showing us photos of options around town. She gave me the name of my makeup. I could go on and on... and on, but if you're considering hiring Kimberly, you will not regret it.
Grethe & Sam
★★★★★
From the very beginning Kimberly was on top of everything, which relieved a lot of stress along the journey of planning our wedding. On the wedding day she was so helpful and truly captured the essence of our wedding day down to every detail and precious small moment!
Kelly & Logan
★★★★★
Kimberly was a delight to work with. We almost didn't even book a photographer for our elopement/micro wedding, but now that we're seeing all of the amazing pictures and get to look at them every day and remember the perfect weekend, we're so glad we did!
The pictures are gorgeous, the location scouting was perfection, and her communication was top notch. 12/10.

Up to 10 hours, spread how it makes sense for your day. Sunrise to sunset or something in between.

Not sure how many hours you need yet?
No stress - most couples don’t know! Here’s how we can roll with it:
We can hop on a call and we’ll talk through what you’re dreaming up, locations, activities, drive times, and snacks obvs, to figure out what fits best.
Or snag my retainer only option for $1500 to save your date and get the party started. We’ll dive into locations, activity ideas, and all the good stuff first, then nail down your final hours once the day starts taking shape.
And yep, you can always add more hours down the road once you’ve got a clearer picture of how the day feels!
frequently asked questions
-
Not at all! It’s not about cramming in more stuff. It’s about not putting your day on a stopwatch.
Most couples book 4 to 8 hours, depending on the vibe:
8 hours is time to chill, wander, snack, and let the good stuff happen naturally - without glancing at the clock every five minutes.
6 hours is for when you want room to breathe, but don’t need all day. Perfect middle ground.
4 hours is vows, a couple-a rad spots, and space for a few snack breaks and ugly cries. Chill but efficient.
2 hours is short, sweet, portrait-focused. Less time for storytelling, more time for a few posed shots.
You don’t have to turn your elopement into a whole saga (unless you want to, in which case I’m grabbing snacks and settling in).
But if you’re dreaming of a day that feels unhurried, honest, and actually fun? You deserve more than a fast photoshoot and a dash to dinner. (Though if it ends in tacos, I better be invited. For professional reasons.)
-
You’ll get abouttttt 50 to 100 photos per hour of coverage, depending on what all we’re doin’.
I send everything over in a online gallery where you can download, share with loved ones, and even order prints. The best part is you can hide photos from visitors so those mid-day jump in the lake in your birthday suit photos = hidden.
-
Editing is one of my favorite and most creative parts of my job so it takes a minute - but trust me. Your gallery will be ready in 6 to 8 weeks and it’s soooo worth the wait.
(Spoiler alert: you also get a few sneak peeks to tide you over while you wait).
-
Elopements are all about doing things your way - including how you pay for it. We can split your payments up into manageable chunks and you can pay with bank transfer orrrr credit card (get those points!).
-
Hell yeah. Colorado let’s you self-solemnize (aka no officient, no witnesses, no permission slips from the government).
Just you, your person, and your puppy dog if you want.
-
Heck yeah you can have the whole day. If you’re dreaming up a sunrise-to-sunset kinda elopement (lake dips, midday chill time, golden hour, stargazing smooches) I’m fully in. We’ll build the timeline together so it feels like an actual adventure, not a photoshoot marathon.
Long days do come with planned breaks (yes, naps and burrito stops are sacred), and no, obvs I’m not clicking the shutter during every single second. Downtime isn’t fully billed, and I’m not lurking while you power nap in the car. It’s all about documenting the real moments while still letting you live them.
-
You’re speaking my language. I’m team “chill adventure” over “Type 2 fun” so you do not have to hike 10 miles to get jaw-dropping views. I know all the spots with that wow factor without needing trekking poles or a survival pack.
If you are the summit-at-sunrise kind of crew, I’ve got adventurous photog pals who live for that. But if you’re here for laid-back magic, I’m your gal!
-
I’m not here to judge how you two interact with each other. I’m here for everything. The subtle glances. The belly laughs. The quiet silences. We’re making time for your actual dynamic - not forcing you into something you’re not :)
-
Once your booked, you basically unlock your own personal elopement guide (hi!). I’ll walk you through the fun stuff. The not so fun stuff (backup plans, eww). We’ll talk big picture and little details.
You’ll also get a custom location list, timeline help, vendor rects, packing tips, activity ideas, you name it. I’m also the type of person you can text at 10pm like “IS THIS DRESS TOO POOFY FOR WALKING IN THE WOODS?” and I will answer (probably the next morning because I’m old and in bed, but still).
-
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! In Colorado, you can self solemnize so you need no witnesses or officiant - and the state allows you to ink stamp your pups paw print onto your marriage license. It’s adorable. It’s legal. Just one more reason why Colorado is the GOAT (or should I say GOATB, Goodest Of All The Boys).
Ready for the Easiest Yes of Your Life?
Here’s How to Book
-
I know you’ve probably looked through a hundred websites by now and are super overwhelmed SO - let’s just hop on a call and talk! We can bounce ideas, talk seasons, get to know each other, and I promise it will all become a little less scary. Fill out the contact form to get the ball rollin’!
-
This is where I get really nosey. How did you meet (I promise I won’t judge if you met on tinder because, same)! How long have you been together! What do you like to do together! What are you dreaming up?! What is the ideal backdrop for where you wanna say your vows? How do you imagine your time around your wedding day?
-
If we all jive and vibe and the feelin’s are all mutual, I’ll send over a contract outlining the proposal and services. Signing the contract and submitting a non-refundable retainer via ACH or bank transfer secures your date, so we can officially start planning your adventure together!!!!! Then basically I take it from there.

“Kimberly helped us find the most beautiful ceremony location and knows the mountains like the back of her hand! She was the ideal adventure wedding photographer—driving with us up to 12,400 ft on Jones Pass to capture our ceremony on gravel roads. The following morning, we returned for sunrise photos. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Looking through them brings the day right back to life. We can’t recommend working with Kimberly enough!”

What to Expect After Booking
Welcome & Planning
Once you’re booked, I’ll send you a 100+ page elopement guide and a fun questionnaire to get to know you better. This is your chance to share your vision, favorite activities, and all the little details that make you two unique! After reviewing your questionnaire, I’ll scout the perfect locations for your ceremony, photos, and activities. We’ll hop on a video call to review the options, and I’ll share vendor referrals, activity ideas, and more!
Pre-Wedding Prep
As the date approaches, I’ll send an overwhelming amount of tips on things like writing your vows, getting your marriage license, not stressing about “posing”. I’ll also create a super flexible timeline to ensure we’re in the right place at the right time for the best lighting and to make me as prepared as possible for our time together.
Your Wedding day
I swear it will be here before you know it - and then it will be over before you know it. So be present, soak in the emotions, sip champagne, and celebrate! Don’t worry about the photos - I’ll be third wheelin’ to my hearts content. And afterward, you’ll receive a sneak peek of your gallery, with the full gallery delivered in 6 to 8 weeks!
Example of a Custom Timeline
This is my actual wedding day timeline!
My partner and I wanted the day to feel intimate but we also wanted to include our immediate family and dog (because, duh). This was PERFECT for us, and the best of both worlds.
-
04:00 AM
Wake up! Sit on the floor while your hair and makeup artist makes you feel pretty and pumps you up for the day. Don't worry, your partner has already made the coffee and the truck is packed and ready to go. Don’t worry about getting dressed yet and opt to hang out in your warm sweatpants.
-
05:00 AM
Leave the cabin to head up a 4WD road to an overlook. Get dressed in your wedding clothes on opposite sides of the car while your dog runs around off leash. Have a first look with each other in your wedding clothes just as the sun crests the mountains. Read your vows to each other privately.
-
07:30 AM
Leave your ceremony site that you got all to yourselves because you woke up for sunrise and no one else is awake yet. Head down to an alpine lake where you make pancakes in the back of the truck. Debate stripping to your birthday suits to run into the alpine lake. Hang out, run around with your dog, tell your partner how much you love them. Be playful.
-
9:00 AM
Head back to your cabin in awe that you got naked and swam in an alpine lake at 8:00 am.
-
10:00 AM
Arrive back at cabin. Spend a few hours napping, eating, or doing whatever else you want because it's your wedding day!!! and you get to call the shots. Photographer goes for a nap.
-
03:00 PM
Photographer meets back up with you for a late lunch or dinner. Pizza on the porch, order takeout, rent a restaurant out, eat leftovers, hire a private chef, cook together, have a picnic, set up a full table in the backcountry. The options are endless.
-
04:00 PM
Get ready (again!) but this time with family. Have a first look with your family. You can do a fun activity with your partner like give each other tattoos, Facetime grandma, grab a drink at the local dive bar, etc. Then you and your two immediate families hop in your old '87 chevy and head up an easy 4WD road. Laugh at how bouncy everyone is in the suburban because there are no springs in the seat.
-
05:00 PM
Read more traditional vows in front of your immediate family so they are included. Followed up by group/family photos, lots of cake, champagne toast, and whatever else your heart desires.
-
07:00 PM
End the evening with sunset photos amongst the wildflowers and alpine glow. Head home to play board games with your family (may I recommend Mexican Dominos or the ol’ classic Cards Against Humanity). Eat all of the ice cream and cake.
Howdy, I’m Kimberly!
300+ People At My Wedding? Hard Pass.
Hiking 12 miles in a wedding dress? Also hard pass.
I’m not saying I’m anti-hiking, I’m just saying if there’s a bumpy Jeep road that gets us 90% of the way to the view, I’m bringing snacks and calling it a win.
And TBH, same goes for weddings. I’ve never been one for stressful planning, seating charts, or speaking my heart out in front of 100+ people who definitely don’t know my middle name.
So if your internal monologue just screamed “YES,” then hi. By golly, I think we’re gonna get along just great.
