One of the best parts of my job is showing off some of the prettiest spots in Colorado especially for out of state couples! Brenda and Daniel flew in from the midwest and picked Garden of the Gods for their winter elopement with just the two of them. We had the PERFECT amount of snow falling throughout their elopement day, and it gave the red rocks that “pop” of color against the white.
During our breaks in the car for warmth, Brenda and I chatted about her writing work (since I’m also a writer!) and you can check out her author website here. It was also so cute to see Daniel all excited to take pictures on his phone to tide them over until the gallery was done. 🙂
I also love it when brides wear non-traditional colors, and Brenda had this gorgeous green dress on paired with a cute fluffy shawl to keep her warm. We saved the vow reading for last since Brenda was sure she would cry her makeup off, and it was such a sweet, emotional ceremony to top off a gorgeous afternoon. <3
Your Photographer, Videographer + Collaborator
Hey there! I’m Kaitlyn, the lead photographer + videographer behind Skyewater Photo + Film, based in Seattle, WA.
An introvert at heart, I always value real connection, stories, and conversation over surface-level interaction any day of the week.
Having documented 200+ weddings and elopements on camera over the last decade, if there’s one thing I’ve realized it’s that I have a knack for being the calm, welcoming, and intuitive energy couples didn’t even realize they needed.
So, I invite you to think about what it would feel like to be fully present, unapologetically yourselves, and care-free on your wedding day instead of worrying about what everyone else wants. And take comfort in knowing you have my full support, every step of the way.
