About Us
Whether we are on a mountain, capturing you in a postcard-worthy landscape, or at the reception, dancing the night away with your favorite people:
We are here for you. Both of us at every wedding, elopement, engagement, and adventure session.
What sets us apart? A few items: We live in Estes Park, all year. Most, if not all, of the people you see in the Google search live in the front range and charge you in their total fees for traveling up here.
We LOVE this!! By that, we mean that we are honored and so appreciate the opportunity to do what we love, and that is documenting your love story…whatever that might look like.
One other detail that sets us apart is the 4×4 Sprinter Van that we have decked out to take our clients into RMNP for a relaxing, celebratory ride to get those mountain photos we all dream of!
When we aren’t photographing…you’ll probably find Joe on his mountain bike or bike packing bike, or climbing with our son or feeding our birds or playing with our cats or scheming his next adventure…and you’ll likely find Kari trying to convince Joe to play pickleball with her…haha!, painting, hiking, tending her plants or dreaming about and putting their next travels into motion.
We’d love to hear from you – via email below…or jumping on a zoom call or phone call and see how we can connect with YOU!

Why Estes Park?
Being “in the mountains” rather than “within driving distance” was a choice we made in 2010, when we lived in Iowa. It took three years of planning, selling our beautiful home, saving, and working in jobs we didn’t love to make this dream come true. Finally, we moved to Estes Park. We chose to build our lives here because being immersed in nature, open skies, and the rhythms of this town matters deeply to us. Living here keeps us connected to the landscapes and community that shape our days — and that connection naturally carries into how we show up as your photographer in Estes Park Colorado.
Because this is our community, we understand the natural flow of busy weekends, peak travel seasons, and the subtle logistical details that make a day feel smooth instead of rushed. It allows your timeline to breathe and your experience to feel intentional.
When your photographer wakes up just minutes from your venue, the morning begins grounded and unhurried. That calm start allows us to be fully present, focused entirely on you, and ready for whatever the mountains bring.
Living here isn’t about convenience — it’s a conscious choice to be rooted in the place we love. That shared connection to Estes Park becomes part of your story, too.
Estes Park is home, and RMNP is our backyard.
Being out in the mountains of RMNP, we’re constantly looking for new, exciting places to take our couples.
Rock climbing, mountain biking, trail running, and much more are part of our daily routines.
Travel is always on our “to do list” and we’ve been to Belize, Canada, Haiti, Iceland, Italy, France, Mexico, Indonesia, Singapore, Hawaii, Alaska, and all four corners of the United States.
We specialize in weddings, elopements, and adventure sessions, often capturing couples amidst the stunning landscapes of Rocky Mountain National Park. Services include multi-day coverage, engagement sessions, and adventure shoots facilitated by our custom 4×4 Sprinter van, allowing access to remote and picturesque locations.
With over 400 couples photographed and a deep connection to the mountains we call home, our goal is to bring experience, local expertise, and a relaxed, down-to-earth approach to every story we document—focusing on real moments, genuine connection, and the wild beauty of the outdoors.
