Colorado Intimate Wedding

& Elopement Photography

For couples who want to elope without leaving anyone behind.

You want to elope, 
And you want your people there.

You want the intimate part. The private vows, the quiet morning, the moment that's just for you two.

And then you want to celebrate with the people who actually matter —
not out of obligation, just because you love them and you want them there.

Here's the thing nobody tells you: you can have both.

  • Intimate where it counts, celebratory where it matters

  • Locations that are genuinely gorg without destroying your knees

  • A day built around your energy, not a shot list

  • An elopement, an intimate wedding, or something that's both

Two ceremonies. One day. Zero compromise.

“She did such an amazing job listening to our vision and taking us to breathtaking spots that captured that vision. She provided such helpful tools and guides to help us prepare for our day. We also did a small intimate ceremony in the evening and she was so flexible in driving to many places that day to take pictures of the ceremony and our family.” - Kailey + Carter

We’re a Good Fit If…

  • you'd rather spend your wedding morning together than apart

  • the guest list is small because it's intentional, not because you're settling

  • you want locations that are beautiful without being a whole thing

  • you're a little outdoorsy but also really like snacks and sitting down

  • you've been googling "can you elope AND have a reception" at 8 pm

If you're nodding, we should talk.

Colorado elopement photographer, professional snack packer, and genuinely the most excited person at every wedding I shoot.

I'm here to help you build a day that actually feels like the two of you — whether that means private vows at sunrise before everyone else is awake, or private vows at sunrise and then your favorite people showing up at golden hour with champagne.

And I'll photograph the whole weird, beautiful, real thing exactly as it unfolds.

Howdy I’m

“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. “
