I’m Kristen, the photographer behind By Kristen Marie. I’m an Arizona native, and I’ve lived the past year as a nomad. Not only does this mean I know every nook and cranny of this desert state, but it also means that I’m serious when I say I am down for any adventure you want to have for your elopement: hiking, horseback riding, rafting, you name it. I’ve probably done it.

I am a photographer of lovers and landscapes. I’ll make sure to capture you on your elopement in the vastness of the wild, while also capturing every detail: from emotions to candids. I believe that your photos should capture your essence, which means I get the raw, genuine, heartfelt moments that you’ll want to remember forever and share with everyone.
