Kristin Smith Photography Adventure Elopement Photographer. Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Northern California. I am a wife to my amazing husband who encourages me to follow my dreams.

We have one beautiful daughter. 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!

Just us and a lifetime of adventures to come. ♥

Eloping in Yosemite offers unique beauty, intimacy, and adventure that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Here’s why you should consider Yosemite for your elopement:

✨️ Breathtaking Scenery: Yosemite’s iconic landscapes—from towering granite cliffs to gorgeous waterfalls—create a majestic backdrop for your vows.

✨️ Intimate Experience: Eloping in Yosemite means you can focus solely on each other without the pressure of a large wedding. It’s just the two of you (and maybe a few wildlife guests), allowing for an intimate and memorable ceremony.

✨️ Adventure and Romance: Whether you’re hiking to a secluded spot or sharing a quiet moment by a river, Yosemite offers endless opportunities for romance and adventure. It’s the perfect way to celebrate your love in a wild, meaningful way!

✨️ Timeless Memories: With Yosemite as the venue, your photos will be extraordinary. The combination of stunning landscapes and emotional moments will capture your love story like no other location can.

✨️ Simplicity and Freedom: Eloping allows you to skip the stress of planning a big wedding. With Yosemite, you can tailor your experience—whether you want an off-the-beaten-path ceremony or a simple moment surrounded by nature’s beauty and I will take care of all of that for you!

✨️ Seclusion: Yosemite offers both well-known spots and hidden gems, giving you the chance to find a quiet, serene location away from the crowds, so you can feel like the world is yours alone on your special day.

If you're looking for an experience that blends adventure with pure romance, Yosemite is the perfect place to say “I do.”

San Francisco City Hall weddings are stunning. 😍

This is the perfect spot for the couple wanting to get married in the big city with screaming architecture vibes... Oh yes!

Not everyone wants to experience "the great outdoors" on their wedding day that's OK! We can skip the trees and adventure in the city instead.

You can stay at and have a dreamy first look on the walkway that is 30+ stories above the city like this couple did! Be sure to leave your sweaty palms at home. 😂

San Francisco offers many locations and lots of great food to eat as well. Maybe stopping off at for Bride and Groom Irish Car Bombs screams your vibe!

Are you dreaming of saying 'I do' in the City by the Bay?

Let's go!!

Lake Tahoe is a hot spot for eloping couples, but did you know there are little gems surrounding Lake Tahoe?!

One location overlooked is Truckee - 20 minutes from North Lake Tahoe. No hiking required! This charming town is a hidden gem brimming with history, adventure, and natural beauty. You can also find meadowy spots and Donner Memorial State Park.
