You've known that saying 'I do'

in front of hundreds

Say ‘I do’ your way, with the people (and pets) who matter most.

In fact, I never wanted to get married at all. But life happens, and sometimes you meet someone off a dating app that you can (finally!) imagine spending the rest of your life with.

I understand that love stories aren't one-size-fits-all. I know firsthand that the most meaningful moments often happen unexpectedly, whether it's discovering a hidden gem in the mountains or meeting someone who changes your perspective on everything. I'm here to capture those authentic, adventurous, and intimate moments that celebrate your unique love story.

“From initial request to getting our gallery Kim communicated with us the whole time, even before getting out there sending us resources ranging from what colors compliment the scenery to location temperature ranges and weather it was all so helpful. Kim is so patient and fun to work with we never felt awkward or like we were posing for pictures it just felt like we were out hiking through gorgeous locations with friends. “
