Colorado Wedding & Elopement Photographer
There’s no doubt you’re in the right place. I'm here for people who:
Swear they’ll be awkward in front of the camera.
Think their story is boring.
Want to elope.
Need guidance through the planning process.
Have complicated family relationships.
Want to throw the party of the year.
Who found their forever.
you want art from your wedding day...
but the typical kitsch of the wedding world doesn't resonate.
all genders, race, ability, ethnicities, culture, and love
are celebrated here.
Do you remember discovering your favorite song for the first time?
You know how you feel every time you listen to that same song, now, years later?
I believe your wedding photos should make you feel the same way.
I'm Kenzie, as cliche as this seems, everyone has a story. As your Colorado wedding photographer, I love to dive deeper into those narratives. When I moved to the city, I met so many incredible people and found endless inspiration in my surroundings—whether I was taking the train home from my bar job or wandering the city running errands. I found beauty in their stories and the experiences that shaped them. Whether you want to say vows privately or plan a more traditional wedding, as long as you're celebrating in a way that feels good to you and your partner, I’m so grateful to be included.
Everything you've overcome, everything you believe in, and every type of love you've experienced has brought you to this beautiful place, totally in love with your person. I will create art from this.
While your wedding day is just one day - your photos will outlive your day allowing you to relive it over and over again. I believe in creating photos that are intentional + thoughtfully composed based on the moments of your day.
BTW,
i'm deeply Inspired by you
LOVE IS LOVE
BLACK LIVES MATTER
SCIENCE IS REAL
TRANS LIVES MATTER
WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
these values are important a.f. to me:
“As someone who comes with family issues, I was never once made to feel like my choices were anything but 100% valid, normal, etc. and I will never be able to thank her enough for that. She is truly an angel from start to finish. Coming from two people who are not particularly fond of PDA or posing for pictures, we were never made to feel uncomfortable or out of place and that is not my experience with most weddings. We truly had the most magical day and I can confidently say that was because of McKenzie”
Hannah + Shelby
"I was never once made to feel like my choices were anything but 100% valid."
“There is an overwhelming amount of photographers who want your business. But Kenzie is more than just a business. She does not sacrifice what she believes in just for the sake of business. She will support you and stand by you the entire way! Her vision is so uniquely hers and she makes you feel absolutely beautiful, strong, and supported throughout the entire planning process.”
Perri + Wes
"She will support you and stand by you the entire way!"
“Your wedding day is about you and McKenzie ensures that remains the case. We felt so comfortable around her! My husband would never get professional photos with me because he felt awkward in front of a camera but wedding photos were a non-negotiable - and look at how great they are! The day we received our sneak peaks I bawled my eyes out. This review cannot possibly describe all my feelings.”
Aerin + Adam
"The day we received our sneak peeks I bawled my eyes out."
“Between her inclusive and warming personality, absolute killer skill in both shooting and editing, and overall charm…she absolutely crushed it! My husband and I now have a perfect reflection of our most special day that we get to keep forever.”
Eli + Jake
"inclusive and warming personality, absolute killer skill in both shooting and editing"
“Not being familiar with Colorado was a little scary at first when trying to plan, but McKenzie made the process so simple and stress free. Our original elopement spot wasn’t accessible due to roads being closed, McKenzie was on it and sent us a whole list of places to check out that matched the vibe we were going for (we ended up loving the new spot so much more!!). It was so important to us to just take in the day and go with the flow without a lot of expectations, and that’s exactly what we did!”
Brianna + Andrew
"McKenzie made the process so simple and stress free"
"I could not recommend Mckenzie more, she’s one of the very few wedding vendors that actually cares about your entire day and the process leading up to it. She goes out of her way to make you feel the most comfortable and badass on your special day and I could not love our photos more."
Makenzie + Brayden
"one of the very few wedding vendors that actually cares about your entire day"
“McKenzie made everything easy- made the itinerary, got hair and makeup set up for us, set the location for photos, etc. Day of the wedding was perfect, she made us feel comfortable, picked the absolute perfect spots to take photos, drove us all up the mountains and really knocked it out of the park. The photos are perfect and everything was delivered in a timely manner. Absolutely recommend eloping to Colorado and 100% recommend using McKenzie to capture it all.”
Taya + Becky
"McKenzie made everything easy."
