Hi! I’m Kelsey your personal elopement-day-hype-woman! I am so stoked you two have decided to elope! I personally am making the same decision, so we can definitely relate to that aspect! I believe that choosing an elopement photographer is about way more than just hiring someone with a camera. Your photographer should be someone who you enjoy hanging out with, who excites you, who makes you laugh, and someone who eases the wedding day jitters! I'm here to help you plan every step of the way from timeline creation, to location scouting and vendor recommendations! I’ve been I’ve lived in Colorado for 6 years and can recommend some epic secluded mountain locations (where hikers won't be disrupting your vow ceremony). Whether you want to hike miles to a spot, go backpacking for a weekend, rent a Jeep and off-road over a mountain pass, or just find a cool location right off the road, I am here for it all!

Candid photos and having fun is my jam! I like to say my style is very timeless and romantic. I personally don't like trendy edits, I like my photos to feel very natural! I love capturing candid moments and there is absolutely no awkward prom posing here, no "what do I do with my hands" moments! I’m never afraid to tell you if your hair is out of place or to tweak some things without being over the top. I'm super sneaky when it comes to getting those in-between candid shots so you can expect a good mix of artistic fun shots and candid photos!

    My husband and I eloped in a small mountain town in Colorado. Because it was a private ceremony, having our special day captured was very important for us. There are many reasons we decided to elope. One in particular was due to budget. Being something we planned quickly, we had to work with what we had if you know what I mean. Long story short, Kelsey is basically an angel from heaven. Literally, she found the dopest spot with the most beautiful scenery. Trees, mountains, and snow. Our friends think the pictures should be in a magazine LOL She captured so many special moments from the beginning, middle, & end of the elopement. It was cold but we suffered through it and I am forever thankful we did. We have the most perfect photos and memories because of Kelsey. I was surprised to see how many photos she provided in the final gallery. I honestly did not expect that many photos. So that was amazing. Kelsey is so sweet. During the session, my husband and I were literally having so much fun that my veil flew away & we did not even notice. Kelsey ran and grabbed it for me from the snow. So sweet. If your anxious, don’t be. Kelsey is personable & made us laugh! We were able to be ourselves, laugh & kiss. I was impressed with how quickly we received our photos. I didn’t expect to receive so many so quickly and they were perfect. I have received so many compliments from friends and family about the pictures. The entire experience was perfect.
    Without Kelsey, our day wouldn’t have been as memorable as it was.

    I’ve had Kelsey do pictures for me for years now! She’s always made me feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not easy) and she’s incredible at posing in ways that look natural. I had her do my engagement photos and my elopement photos and she couldn’t have captured my husband and I better. She literally captured our day in a way that told the day beautifully and made it look like a fairy tale. I received a beautiful balance of posed and candid photos. I cannot flaunt her work enough! Thank you so much!

    Kelsey is not only an amazing photographer but an amazing human. I am personally very awkward and uncomfortable posing for photos, but she always makes me laugh and feel confident when she is taking pictures. I have used her twice now and both times I have received professional, high-quality pictures. Highly recommend!!!

    I cannot rave enough about how amazing Kelsey is! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kelsey last fall and this summer and she was hands down AMAZING! My husband and I are not very photogenic, but she made everything so fun for us and we cherish all of the pictures she captured for our engagement and wedding.
