Arizona + Joshua Tree elopement & Micro-wedding packages

Film + digital photography

The kind that feels like art, adventure, and soul all rolled into one. Maybe you don’t have every detail figured out yet—just that you want something intimate, intentional, and unlike anything you’ve seen before. That’s where I come in.

I work with outdoorsy, artsy, fun-as-hell couples who care deeply about doing this their way. Whether that means eloping under red rock cliffs, hosting a dinner party in the desert, or hiking to say your vows at sunrise—I’m here to help you bring it to life.

From location ideas and timeline flow to documentary-style photos (and film, if you’re feelin’ it), I help craft a day that feels honest, emotional, and totally you. Not cookie-cutter. Not performative. Just real moments, gorgeous light, and all the good stuff in between.

You’re not planning just a wedding—you’re creating an experience.

If you’re craving something meaningful, a little offbeat, and full of feeling—let’s make it real.

Hi! I’m Kirstin-

I’m here for couples who want a wedding that feels like them—laid-back, full of heart, and grounded in wild, beautiful places.

This isn’t just what I do—it’s how I see the world. I live in the desert, shoot on both film and digital, and tell honest, artful stories that feel as real as they are beautiful.

You’re not just getting photos. You’re getting someone who knows the land, gets your vision, and helps you slow down enough to actually feel it all.

Film & Digital Photography

35mm, 120 medium format, Polaroids, and dreamy double exposures—film brings that tactile, nostalgic magic that digital can’t quite replicate. You’ll get a mix of both, blended into one cohesive, artful story.

Planning & Involvement

From location scouting and timeline planning to vendor recs, permit help, and unique micro-wedding ideas—I’m your photographer and your boots-on-the-ground guide. Think of me as your go-to for all things desert and dreamy.

How I Work

No stiff poses or forced smiles here. I’ll guide you with movement and connection, focusing on candids, tiny gestures, and all those “you had to be there” moments. It’s more like hanging out, less like a photoshoot.

Editing & Style

My style leans warm, moody, and cinematic—like your favorite desert light bottled up into a feeling. I chase emotion over perfection and love the in-between frames that tell the real story.

Desert Lover & Outdoorsy AF

Raised in the desert, I know this land like a local and love it like a lifelong explorer. I hike it, I camp it, I photograph it with reverence—and I’ll lead you to places that make your love feel wild and rooted all at once.

- Ellen & Ryan

Absolutely. Your elopement or intimate wedding should reflect you—whether that means hiking boots and champagne at sunrise, or slow dancing under the stars in the desert. I’m all about helping you create something personal and wildly meaningful.

Can we bring our own vibe to the day?

01.

Yes! From location ideas and permits to timelines and what to pack, I’ve got you. You don’t need to have it all figured out—I’m here to make the planning part feel easy and exciting.

Will you help guide us through the whole process?

02.

Totally okay—and totally normal. Most of my couples say this at first, and then end up saying how fun and natural the experience felt. I’ll guide you the whole way so nothing feels forced or stiff.

We’re a little awkward in front of the camera… is that okay?

03.

Heck yes. From Sedona to Yosemite, I specialize in capturing couples in iconic, awe-filled landscapes. If the outdoors is part of your story, we’ll weave it right in.

Can we include adventure, nature, or our favorite national park?

04.

Yes! I offer both digital and film photography to give your day a timeless, artful, and cinematic feel. Film brings a texture and emotion that’s extra special—and I love using it when the light is just right.

Do you shoot film, too?

05.

That’s the goal. My approach is all about capturing honest, emotional moments—not posing you into something you’re not. Every gallery is crafted to reflect your unique energy and connection.

Will our photos feel like us?
