My husband and I couldn't be happier that we choose to work with Kristen. She helped plan our day and make everything go so seemingly. She had tons of recommendations for us and that really took a lot of the stress off of us. We were in constant communication leading up to our day and the day of, she didn't miss a single detail.

Kristen helped us through every stage of planning and prepare for our absolute dream of a day. She was readily available through out the process to offer local recommendations for everything you might want for your ceremony/photos as well as things to do in the area outside of your wedding! The locations she suggested to us were absolutely magical! BUT THE PHOTOS SAY IT ALL - breathtaking!!
Taylor + George
Can't say enough good things about the experience of having Kristen photograph our elopement-style wedding in Sedona, Arizona. She is equal parts professional and friendly, and made the entire experience seamless - from the time we booked with her until the time we got our gallery. She is great with communication at all stages of the process, and we can't imagine what our day would have been without her!

I couldn’t recommend Kristen Marie more! Not only did she deliver the most beautiful gallery of photos, but she was so wonderful to work with and made me, my husband, and our families feel so comfortable and natural around her. She always had a smile on her face and you can tell she truly loves what she does.

Planning an elopement has the potential to be stressful, and planning an elopement including 2 young kids and a dog adds a whole different level…however, our experience was incredibly easy because of Kristen’s awesome recommendations and guidance with planning an experience that captured what was most important to us. She helped us organize a sunrise hike and captured pictures of our family in our natural element that we will treasure forever. She is SUCH a positive and uplifting person to be around, and our girls still ask when we will get to see her again.
