Your go-to elopement photographer &
planning sidekick.
From the moment we connected, her energy and vibe were absolutely amazing—warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our elopement special. She paid attention to every detail, helped us feel relaxed and confident, and even had some incredible vendor recommendations that made the entire experience seamless. Most importantly, our photos turned out breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with how she captured the emotion, scenery, and intimacy of our day. She’s dependable, talented, and just an all-around wonderful person to have by your side on such an important day. If you’re eloping in South Lake Tahoe—she’s the one." - Ashley & Shane

"Kristin & Rick made us feel comfortable, supported, & completely celebrated. Not to mention, they are a super cool & fun couple to hang out with on your elopement day."
"Kristin and Rick are truly the dream team! From choosing the perfect location to creating a stress free timeline, they made everything feel effortless and meaningful. It was such a pleasure working with them. Kristin was consistently in touch, answering any questions that I had and reassuring me that our elopement day would be amazing!
The photos are STUNNING- full of emotion , beauty, and capture who we are as a couple.
We could not be happier with the high quality photographs, but what really stood out was how much they genuinely cared. Not to mention, they are a super cool and fun couple to hang out with on your elopement day. If you're eloping, we highly recommend the full or multi-day elopement timelines. Time flies when you are having fun!" - Elise and Dan
Still have a few questions?
I totally get it.
Eloping is a big decision and you'll want to feel confident in every part of the process.
Here are a few common things couples ask before booking, just to make things easier.
can you help with planning?
Totally. I help with everything from location scouting and timeline creation to activity ideas and vendor suggestions. I’ll guide you through the whole process so the day feels organized but relaxed. No stress, no scrambling.
Do we need to worry about permits?
Nope, I’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed based on your location and where to apply. Whether it’s a national park, beach, or forest spot, I’ll let you know what’s required and how to get it. You won’t have to figure it out alone. Some locations require photographers to obtain a commercial permit and I will do that portion on my own!
Do we need to have a location picked before reaching out?
Not at all. Most of my couples come to me with just a general idea, like “we love the mountains” or “we want a lake view.” Once we chat, I’ll send personalized location options based on your vision, the season, and what kind of experience you want.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, especially if you have a specific location or season in mind. I recommend reaching out 6–18 months in advance if possible, but if you're flexible, we might still be able to make magic happen sooner. I have planned elopements with a month's notice!
Can we bring guests to our elopement?
Absolutely. While elopements are typically 15 people or less, many couples include a few close family or friends. Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of loved ones, I’ll help plan a day that feels personal, relaxed, and true to you. You can even bring your dog if you want!
Couples with 20+ guests is considered a "micro wedding" and will need to find a traditional wedding photographer as my focus is intimate elopements.
Do we have to hike or do something adventurous?
Nope! Not every elopement includes hiking or even dirt! If you want an epic view without the trek, I’ve got lots of accessible spots with jaw-dropping scenery. We’ll plan something that matches your comfort level and your vibe.
Still wondering if this is right for you?
Just reach out!
I’m happy to talk through your ideas and help you figure it out!
let's plan your day
do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I offer payment plans. I require a $1,000 deposit to secure your date, and the remaining balance is due one month before your elopement. Most couples pay in 2–3 installments, but I’m happy to customize a plan that works best for you, just let me know what you need!
"We loved working with Kristin and the final product is perfection! Thank you Kristin for making our dream wedding a reality so quickly!"
- Stacie and Tom
