Hi, I am Crystal!

Hi! Let's start from the beginning. My name is Crystal and I am a photographer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I love to travel! I specialize in elopements, intimate weddings, engagements and basically anything to do with couples. Dylan, my husband, and I moved here from Florida in 2018 to start a new adventure with our three dogs. You might meet him on your wedding day, he is my second shooter and assistant to help with anything you or I need.

About two months after moving we eloped in Sedona, and it was the most magical day in the world! My sister came as a witness, and her husband got ordained online for us! Yep, you can have anyone marry you and it is totally legit! They were the only guests, except for our photographers of course. After eloping, it made me even more obsessed with elopements and helping couples plan their own unique elopement or intimate wedding.

After a couple years being in the desert, we still love it. People ask all the time. Albuquerque is so unique and underrated, and I love that part about it. Like I said, I love to travel so I will go anywhere to photograph your epic day! The desert is my favorite and there are so many different areas in the southwest to elope. Whether it be the red rocks in Arizona, the arches in Utah or even the mountains in Colorado. I am not stuck in New Mexico, though I think it is one of the most diverse states for scenery.

When it comes to planning an elopement, I understand that it is not the same as planning a wedding. I have been there. For an elopement you typically do not have a planner, much (or any) help from friends/family or any idea how to plan your day. That is what I am here for! I will do as much or as little planning, helping and guiding as you need. I create timelines as your day gets closer, but it is your day so we can follow it 100% or be spontaneous. Oh, and I will get some amazing photos of course!

You should not feel alone in this process. I am not just your photographer but your guide through this whole thing to take any burden away. Planning your elopement should be stress free and unique to you two. Let’s talk about what adventure we can create for your day!
