Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photography
In Colorado

For couples who want stunning backdrops without the all day hike.

Start the no-hike, all-heart kind of adventure.

HOW THIS WHOLE THING GOES DOWN

Okay, here is where we let go of the “perfect” wedding, the family opinions, the social pressure, the imagined shots. You pick the moments, the place, and the vibe that feels right for you.

1. Burn the rulebook and

    celebrate your way.    

2. I help you dream it up, plan it

    out, and make it feel easy.    

Locations! Activities! Permits! Timing! Lighting! The backup plan when Colorado does something weird with the weather...all handled. You just show up, take some deep breaths, and soak it all in.

Somewhere between the laughter, the wind blown hair, the ugly crying and the cake crumbs, it hits you. This is exactly what you wanted. All heart, perfect, unforgettable, and 100% yours.

3. We make it ridiculously yours.

“Kimberly made every moment of our elopement so fun and special. My husband, who HATES having his picture taken had nothing but fabulous things to say about our elopement day and how for once he actually LIKED to have his pictures taken! It was so fun and comfortable, every moment felt like we had known each other forever. I couldn’t recommend Kimberly enough to anyone wanting to elope.” - Jadyn + Dakota

If adventure to you means mountain views, cozy cabins, and zero hiking pressure… Let’s do that instead.

Uhm heck yes your elopement can be adventurous and easy. Yes you can say your vows by a lake, in a field, or outside your Airbnb while your dog rolls in the grass. That shit still counts. It’s still epic (can I say, even more so?).

Let’s plan a day that feels real. Equal parts breathtaking and comfortable. Fewer logistics, more connection. Less “are we lost?” and more “holy crap, look at that view.”

We’re probs a Good Fit If You Want to Elope in Colorado and are Looking for…

  • Easy, No Hike Adventures: If your dream day is mountain views with zero wheezing, we’re already besties.

  • Connection With Loved Ones: 100+ guests? Hard pass. But your favorite humans (and pups)? Absolutely.

  • All of the Local Knowledge: I spend an unhealthy amount of time wandering around this state soooo when you want that easy access alpine lake that you’re pretty much guaranteed no ones gonna be at on a weekday? I know just the spot.

  • Ridiculously Helpful Planning: Like an overwhelming obnoxious amount of assistance. From permits, timelines, vendors, to where should we eat after? (because, priorities).

  • Pet-Friendly Options: Everything’s better with dogs involved!

  • Dope images: Obviously you’re here for the jaw dropping photos SO I’ll be there catching the real stuff too.

“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. “
