I spent the last 2 years in my van life era, but now I travel part-time while having a home-base in lovely Ogden, Utah.
I grew up in Palm Springs, near Joshua Tree, so I have a soft spot in my heart for both the mountain AND desert landscapes.
I’ve been photographing weddings now for 7+ years and have traveled all over the country for some pretty incredible couples.

About
– Lexy brown
"We had such a fun time shooting with Kristen! The day we decided to do our photos there was a complete BLIZZARD in Park City! I'm talking wind, snow, sleet, cold, the whole shebang. I was honestly worried we would have to cancel. Kristen was a champ and braved the cold to capture some adorable photos of Andrew and I and I honestly couldn't be happier! They are absolutely perfect! Shooting with Kristin is so fun and laidback, she does an amazing job of making you feel comfortable and has so many great ideas!!"
Testimonial
I’m passionate about authentically capturing each couple’s unique love story as art pieces they get to cherish forever. I love, love and people who love each other. I love seeing friends and family gather to celebrate the couple. I love seeing the couple smile ear to ear all day being with their closest people. Watching them shower each other in love during toasts and thanking each other for being such an integral part in their lives. It’s just all beautiful. Being able to capture weddings and elopements is what lights me up!
Capturing your love story is what matters to me
My Why
I have an appetite for adventure: I love type 2 fun, skiing, trail running, and mountain biking.
what do you do on your days off?
I’m on my feet all day and sometimes forget to eat, so sometimes I throw nerds clusters or gummy bears in my pocket to keep some sugar in me!
weddings or elopements?
Again, love is love. I don’t care if I’m capturing a big wedding or a ceremony of two. I am just always honored, and so happy, to be there to document the moment.
what's your go to wedding snack?
Relationships are a priority for me, and I definitely LOVE my people. In case you’re wondering, I do happen to be a professional quoter of ‘The Office’ and ‘Friends’, so if you are too, we will get along just fiiiine.
fun facts
I LOVE capturing the little unplanned moments, ie sister helping cary the train of the bride’s dress while they walk toward the ceremony, the lifelong friends dancing together to ABBA on the dance floor, grandma crying happy tears watching her grandson marry the love of his life, etc.
But my favorite planned moments are almost always: first looks, private vows, father daughter dances, and when everyone enters the dance floor!
