Kristin Smith Photography Intimate elopements with 15 guests or less. Adventure Elopement Photographer & Planner
Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Northern California. We have one beautiful daughter.

I am a wife to my amazing husband who encourages me to follow my dreams. I love our little family. We are fun, love the outdoors and love to farm! Oh and I LOVE plants!! I am a major plant nerd and love making plant starts all day long for our other business! As far as photography goes.. I'm professional, fun, and crack lame jokes at times so I will likely have you laughing during our session. Oh

and being a mama myself, I understand the dedication, determination, and ridiculous sounds it takes sometimes to get these kids to smile! I'm outgoing, friendly, down to earth and very easy to work with. I cherish every one of my clients as they bring me a new, unique experience every time! I can truly say that I am blessed. I love all types of photography, but weddings are my favorite. I've watched way too many chick flicks and dreamed of being in the biz thanks to watching "The Wedding Planner" and "Father of the Bride" way too many times! I remember the super quick photography scene in "Father of the Bride" and thought to myself as a kid, "I want to do that!"

I love everything about weddings, and I'm always thrilled at the opportunity to document another love story. I love seeing the joy and happiness that comes from weddings, and I will usually share a tear or two. It's inevitable I can't help it. Oh and I will likely dance at your wedding. I gotta move and grove to get those dancing shots, otherwise I feel awkward not moving to the music. What can I say, I love what I do. When I'm not shooting weddings, I enjoy capturing the joy of families! Documenting these precious moments are so important, and I am incredibly happy to be apart of it by getting to witness my clients grow and watching their family grow. I look forward to meeting you and documenting all of your memories!

One of my favorite parts of an elopement day is watching this moment unfold.

Lea Buehler B Gorgeous works her magic, and little by little you can see it happen. The excitement kicks in and then comes that first look in the mirror.

Not because someone suddenly became beautiful, but because they finally get to see themselves the way everyone else already does.

Briana absolutely lit up when she saw the finished look, and that's one of the many reasons I love working alongside Lea and why I recommend her. She's incredibly talented, keeps things calm, and helps my couples feel like the very best version of themselves on their wedding day. ❤️

Intimate wedding, small wedding, or elopement?

This might be an unpopular opinion coming from an elopement photographer...

But I don't think everyone should elope.

So lately, it feels like the internet is constantly telling couples what kind of wedding they should have.

Big wedding.
Small wedding.
Elopement.
Micro wedding.

The truth?

There isn't a right answer.

I've photographed couples who wanted it to be just the two of them.

I've photographed couples who couldn't imagine getting married without their closest family there, even their pups.

Neither is wrong.

The best wedding days aren't built around trends. They're built around the couple.

So whether you're planning an intimate wedding, small wedding, or elopement in California, choose the experience that feels like you.
