Never dreamed of a big traditional wedding? Same.

I didn’t even think I’d get married! But then I met someone (shoutout to dating apps) who changed all that. Now I photograph the kind of love that doesn’t need a ballroom or bouquet toss to feel real.

I’m a Colorado elopement photographer obsessed with the quiet, unscripted moments. Shared glances on a windy summit or laughing in the back of a rented Jeep. Whether it’s an adventurous elopement in the Rockies or a cozy vow exchange in Denver, I help couples create honest, intimate wedding days that feel like them.

No stress. No pressure. And definitely no all day hike to say your vows.

“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. “
