Voted Best Photographer of Asheville

Serving Asheville, Boone, Hendersonville, & wherever your love takes us!

So you’ve decided to elope! Congratulations!

Eloping is much less stress and so much more fun than a traditional wedding!

You’re searching for someone to help plan the most epic day that is authentic to who you are and your relationship.

Someone who will deliver photos that show the intimate, loving, and sweet moments, not boring or uncomfortable poses.

I’m Kirsten, and I’m here to help you plan your dream elopement and capture epic and beautiful photos on your day.

My favorite part about being an elopement photographer is helping my couples come up with a timeline that’s full of fun while also ensuring there’s time to relax and spend time together. I help plan days that are out of the box. No cookie cutter timelines here. Whether you’d like a private vow reading and end the evening with a party full of your closest friends and family, or you want a day full of adventures from helicopter rides to hiking through the mountains, I’m here to help you plan and to capture every important moment.

A little bit about me

 

I graduated with my BFA in photography in 2016. In 2020 I started photographing elopements and weddings, and the rest is history! I have two adorable dogs and a partner who I met while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. My favorite things to do are to try out new cider breweries, new restaurants, go hiking and backpacking, & snuggle up on the couch with my partner and our dogs to watch a movie.

Packages I offer Mini Elopement – for couples wanting ceremony photos, a small handful of family photos, & some couples portraits. This package is for 1 location & NON-hiking elopements only. Half Day Elopement – for couples wanting to enjoy a relaxing morning or evening at one or two locations. Full Day Elopement – for couples wanting to adventure the entire day! Sunrise & Sunset – for couples wanting to take advantage of the best lighting of the day. This package is 10 hours with a break in the middle of the day to rest, eat, and get ready for the rest of the day. Two day – for couples wanting a full day adventure together but also might want to party the next with their friends and family

All packages include coverage on both film & digital cameras, 30+ photos per hour delivered, location suggestions, permit assistance, photographer travel fees up to 200 miles, & vendor recommendations.

Half day or longer packages include: Elopement planning guide, timeline for the day, fun activity ideas, & additional planning assistance.

Starting price for elopements is $1900+tax

    “Kirsten was so sweet and fun to hang out with--it felt like we brought a friend along with us! She captured everything I wanted and gave us the perfect photos for us to remember our special day. We received a mix of candid photos and portraits. I thought I would feel awkward taking portraits, but she gave great prompts that made it fun and had us laughing. When I received my photos, I was blown away at how natural we looked and how much of our love was captured in the photos. I am literally obsessed with how our pictures came out!”

    My wife and I unfortunately have been seperated by a few thousand miles for work in 2021, and were thankful to have a little time together in TN. I happened to find Kirsten on TikTok and saw some images of the adventure photo sessions that she offered through her business and was hooked. We already knew we wanted to see the Smokey Mountains, but the thought of being able to capture this chapter of our lives was too good to pass up. Kirsten was delightful and really allowed us to be ourselves and enjoy the time together. The photos from this session are warm, initmate, and really showcase the love that my wife and I hold in our relationship. I am forever thankful for that afternoon Kirsten spent with us, if you are considering booking a session, this is a business you want to do it with <3

    Kirsten made our couples portrait experience so fun! We are always nervous in front of a camera, but Kirsten came with prompts and instructions that just kept us laughing. The end result showed it—we look so in love, so natural, and our personalities just shone through. Her lighting and editing brought the warm tones that matched our aesthetic so well. Would definitely recommend Kirsten for your intimate portraits out in nature!
