Our Process
Your experience should feel easy from the minute you inquire. Here’s how I keep everything smooth and stress-free:
• First, we hop on a quick call so I can learn about your vision, your vibe, and the kind of adventure you’re dreaming up.
• Together we choose the perfect Colorado location — whether that’s an alpine lake, a quiet meadow, or a sunrise trail.
• I help with planning, permits, timelines, weather strategy, and all the behind-the-scenes logistics.
• On your session day, I guide you the whole way so you never feel lost, awkward, or unsure of what to do with your hands.
• Afterward, you get sneak peeks within 72 hours and a full gallery delivered on time (always).
My goal is simple: make this fun, relaxed, and completely you.
Engagement Sessions for Adventurous Couples
Let’s skip the studio and head somewhere that actually feels like your life together. My engagement sessions are centered around real moments — hiking a trail, watching the sunrise, exploring a waterfall, or just laughing together in the mountains.
If you want an experience instead of a posed photo shoot, we’ll create something that feels natural, fun, and meaningful — and walk away with images that feel like you in your element.

What Couples Say
Working with the right photographer matters. Here’s what couples have said about their experience—how easy it felt, how stress-free the day was, and how much they loved their photos.
“Krush Photography exceeded every expectation. We had a non-traditional dude ranch wedding in the mountains, and Kristina was on board from day one to help make our unique vision happen.”
— Sarah
“Kristina made us feel so comfortable, even though we’re not big picture-takers. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous — the kind we’ll treasure forever.”
— Lindsay

What Makes Me Different
Adventure is literally part of my job. Before photographing weddings full-time, I worked in the adventure travel industry guiding groups through national parks, scouting remote trails, designing unforgettable guest experiences, and solving problems in the wild long before sunrise ever hit the mountains.
That background means I know the spots that aren’t on the first page of Google — the hidden overlooks, quiet lakes, 4x4-access ridges, and local favorites that make your day feel one-of-a-kind.
Behind the Scenes Planning
From permits and logistics to timelines, safety, and location scouting, I handle all the moving pieces so your elopement feels easy and stress-free.
I’m CPR-certified, Leave No Trace trained, and comfortable navigating quickly changing weather or mountain conditions. If something shifts, I pivot fast so you don’t have to worry.
My goal is always the same: a seamless, fun, and meaningful experience — with photos that feel like you and a day you actually get to enjoy.

Every couple defines adventure differently and I’m here for all of it.
