“We hired Kirstin as our photographer for our elopement at Valley of Fire state park last minute as our previous photographer cancelled 5 days before the event. What a blessing in disguise! Kirstin was so amazing to work with. Her fun, bubbly, yet laid back personality made even my camera shy husband feel comfortable. She listened to our wants and need and the photos above all DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I can’t recommend her enough! Just pick her!!!”

Let Me Answer Your Questions.

Trust me, everyone feels this way at first! But here’s the thing—I’m not about forced poses or fake vibes. Instead, we’ll laugh, explore, and let you two just be yourselves. I’ll guide you when needed, but the magic happens when you’re connecting naturally. By the end, you’ll forget the camera’s even there.
-
YES, PLEASE! 🙌 This is your day, so let’s make it uniquely yours. Whether that’s sharing private vows under the stars, hiking to your favorite spot, or popping champagne on a cliff edge, I’m here to help you weave your personality and love story into every moment.
-
While elopements are my jam, I also love photographing intimate weddings and adventure sessions. 🏕️ If it involves love, gorgeous landscapes, and genuine connection, I’m all in!
-
Mother Nature loves to keep us on our toes, but honestly, unexpected weather can make for epic photos. 🌧️☀️ I always come prepared with backup plans, and we’ll embrace the adventure together. Wind, rain, or shine—your love will shine through it all!
-
Not at all! Adventure looks different for everyone. 🌿 Whether it’s a short stroll to a scenic overlook or a full-on hike to a remote spot, I’ll tailor the experience to your comfort level. Your elopement should be fun and stress-free—no extreme camping skills required (unless that’s your thing!).
-
That’s literally what I’m here for! 🧭 I’ve spent years adventuring in epic places like The Grand Canyon, Kanab, and Page, and I know all the secret spots and jaw-dropping views. Whether you want a red rock backdrop, a hidden forest trail, or a canyon sunrise, I’ll help you find the perfect place that feels so you.
-
Oh, you bet! Think of me as your photography and adventure guide. 🌟 I’ll handle the research for permits, recommend vendors, and create a custom timeline so your day runs smoother than a desert sunset. All you have to do is show up and soak in the magic.
-
The sooner, the better! 🗓️ Popular spots like Sedona or Moab can get busy, especially during peak seasons. I recommend reaching out at least 6-12 months in advance if you want your dream location and date locked in. But if you’re more of a last-minute adventurer, let’s still chat—I’ve been known to pull off some epic elopements on short notice!
-
Film is pure magic. 🎞️ It’s timeless, rich, and gives your photos a dreamy, cinematic quality you just can’t replicate digitally. I include film because it slows me down, helping me capture those raw, fleeting moments with extra heart. It’s like the cherry on top of your love story.
-
Think of it as real-life storytelling. I’m not about stiff poses or awkward smiles. 📸 Instead, I focus on capturing the real, messy, beautiful emotions—the way you laugh, the tears in your partner’s eyes, the wind messing up your hair. These are the moments you’ll want to remember, and they deserve to be documented exactly as they are.
Let’s Make Your Dream Elopement Happen!
You deserve a wedding day that feels like YOU—wild, free, and deeply personal. I’m here to document it all in a way that’s true to your love story. If you’re ready for an adventure-filled, cinematic wedding experience, let’s make it happen! ✨
