Hi there, I’m Kimberly.
(she/her)
Sooooo yeah. My partner and I also drove up a 4x4 road in our sweatpants to get married…
We put our wedding clothes on outside of our Tacoma, had a first look that was way more emotional than we ever expected, and read each other vows that were real and weird and full of inside jokes that we could never, ever say in front of our families.
And then in true “us” fashion, we made pancakes in the back of the truck, ran around with our dog, and jumped into an alpine lake. Butt naked.
But surprise! For someone who never imagined her wedding day, I still wanted my family there when the time actually came to plan it. So they did. And we had a little formal ceremony and drank champagne and ate cake with them.
So they got to be there. We got to have our private moment. Nobody had to compromise.
And most of all, our families didn’t have to hear the very niche fart joke my partner snuck into his vows.
That’s what I build for couples now. The moment to yourselves, the inside jokes, the pancakes after (optional but strongly recommended).
So if any part of that makes you go “Oh hell yeah”, let’s figure out your version of this.
Planning stress is actually not part of the package.
Here's what's on my plate so it's not on yours:
Finding locations where the view is jaw dropping and you still smell good when you get there
Your marriage license, your ceremony, your vows, your guest communication. There’s a guide for all of it.
Building a timeline for the day that, let's be honest, is mostly for me, because spontaneity is kind of the whole point
And yeah, the photos. Obviously.
So you never have to fall down a Reddit rabbit hole about Colorado marriage licenses at 11pm.
These are the only photos that will ever exist of this day. No pressure. (There's pressure.)
So for the overthinkers in the room:
I’ve now photographed 100+ couples across Colorado
I am fully insured (yes, it matters for location permits, yes I have it)
Your photos get backed up in three separate places before I even take my shoes off. Non negotiable.
I have an actual refrigerator in my car because nobody wants warm brie at 2pm in the Colorado sun
I only work in Colorado because the weatherman is a liar and you need someone who already knows what to expect
I cry at every single parent dance and still regret not doing one at my own intimate wedding
Stuff You Didn't Ask But I'm Telling You Anyway
My partner and I also met on a dating app so I promise I won’t judge but I will ask how the proposal went down because I’m nosey and need to know everything.
I once had to interrupt a couple’s vows because a moose was beelining straight for them. It went right into the water where they were standing. So yeah, wildlife wrangler is also on my resume.
I will swim in just about any body of water. Whether I have the clothes for it or not.
Let’s be honest, hiking is really just an excuse for me to eat pastries and candy bars in realllllly scenic locations.
A wedding dress lives in the back of my car so when I’m scouting locations you can actually picture yourself there. Because unicorn spots don’t find themselves.
I know it looks like my dog and I (and a suspicious amount of snacks…) live out of my car, but I do actually call Denver home.
