breckenridge elopement photographer
storytelling photography for unique elopements
Hi! I'm Kelsey!
My photography journey started in 2009 and I fell in love with documenting moments and capturing people in their element.
10 years ago, I moved to the amazing little mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado from in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Wild to say I've photographed over 300 weddings and portrait sessions all over. I started this small but mighty team of local mountain photographers to capture whatever season of life you're in.

How do you want to get to your location? Think about the logistics like will you be walking/hiking in? In the backyard? In a park? Do you want to be able to park and do minimal walking?
Think of your vision for your day. Do you want to wear something casual, traditional or something totally different? What does the weather look like? Are you indoors? Outdoors in nature? We'll piece together a custom location and make your vision come to life.
"She knew her stuff when it came to what we were envisioning and the type of setting we wanted (we had no idea coming from Florida). When it came to the actual photoshoot, she let us pose naturally and be ourselves."
