Hi, I am Kristin. I am a Colorado wedding photographer and coordinator. I’m a queer woman and single mom to the most amazing twin girls. We have a goofy Bulloxer dog named Rocco whom we love deeply. I am passionate about Barre3 classes, growing plants, and being outdoors. I strive to live in the present and be mindful of all the beautiful moments, small and large. I recently started abstract painting and I can’t get enough of it. I play tenor saxophone and you can find me occasionally subbing in local jazz bands.

Photography is something that I have always had a connection to. It started with Julia Roberts in StepMom and bloomed with my dad. He was an extremely talented and highly regarded videographer. I will always cherish the memories of going to beautiful places and finding beauty in mundane moments together and capturing them with our cameras.

I am an introvert who finds boldness behind my camera. In this place, my superpower is being able to make people feel comfortable and like we are close friends. I am always the person people tell their deepest secrets to.

I have been a mountain-focused Colorado wedding photographer for about 10 years and I absolutely love it. I love small intimate weddings where couples get to showcase who they are and what they want. While working as the lead photographer for Villani Photos, I loved the gorgeous scenery and wonderful couples that I worked with, but I wished I could spend more time with my  clients and get to know them on a deeper level before their special day. Elopement planning with Elevated Elopements allows me to make those connections and take photos that are even more meaningful.

Through my wedding photography, I have had the opportunity to cultivate amazing relationships with many extremely talented vendors.  With Elevated Elopements, I use those connections to create  one-stop packages that take all the stress and guesswork out of your big day so you can relax and take in all the beautiful moments as they unfold.
