ABOUT ME
Hey, I’m Kristina—adventure-seeker, dog (and cat) mom, live music lover, and the person behind the camera at Krush Photography.
When I’m not photographing weddings in the mountains or by the ocean, you can usually find me camping, snowboarding, hiking, scuba diving, or planning my next big adventure.
My time spent living in Estes Park deepened my love for the outdoors and ultimately led me to launch my wedding photography business in Estes Park. Being surrounded by the Rocky Mountains inspired me to document couples in breathtaking landscapes, capturing not just the scenery but the deep, meaningful connections between them.
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you—natural, effortless, and full of real emotion. That’s why I ditch the stiff poses and forced smiles, focusing instead on the authentic moments, epic landscapes, and connections that make your day unforgettable. Whether we’re hiking to a remote spot at sunrise or capturing the quiet in-between moments, my job is to make sure your experience is fun, stress-free, and genuinely reflects your story.
My approach? Authentic, effortless, and a little bit bold—so you get images that feel like you, with an experience that’s easy, fun, and stress-free.

THE JOURNEY
I grew up with a wedding photographer for a dad, so photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was always borrowing his camera to take photos, and when I was 18, I used it to shoot my first paid event—having no idea what I was doing, but loving every second of it.
That love for storytelling led me to earn a film degree with a minor in creative writing and drama, where I learned how to craft narratives through both visuals and words. In 2014, I started working as a lighting assistant, learning the technical side of photography before launching my first photo and video company in the music industry—capturing live performances, festivals, and the energy of the stage.
In 2021, I took a leap into the adventure travel industry, where I got to flex my hospitality skills in wild places—think curated happy hours, charcuterie board lunches, and wine and chocolate pairings inside national parks. That experience taught me how to seamlessly create elevated, stress-free experiences in remote locations, blending logistics, adventure, and hospitality.
It was during this time, while living in Estes Park, that I truly fell in love with the idea of photographing couples in the rugged beauty of the Rockies. Being surrounded by towering peaks and golden aspen groves made me realize that I didn’t just want to take wedding photos—I wanted to craft immersive experiences for couples who crave adventure, connection, and unforgettable moments in breathtaking places.
Now, I bring all of these passions together—photography, adventure travel, and experience design—to create immersive, effortless wedding experiences in breathtaking locations. Whether we’re scaling a mountain, chasing a sunset, or celebrating with your closest people, I make sure your wedding isn’t just documented, but felt.
