Ryan and I met each other 10 years ago, started dating during Covid, we got engaged July 5th, 2020 and had always had the plan to do an adventure elopement. We were supposed to elope in Canada, however, with Covid this was not possible anymore ...and we started looking into Colorado, which was the BIGGEST BLESSING EVER, because we found Kaitlyn and SkyeWater Photo!
Her pictures on the site looked gorgeous and were definitely up our avenue, but our biggest reservation in this whole process of finding our perfect photographer, was finding someone that Ryan would be comfortable around. He is more shy and doesn’t photograph well when uncomfortable, but he takes great candids! We set up a FaceTime meet and great with Kaitlyn, Ryan was uncomfortable at first, but Kaitlyn’s personality and demeanor immediately clicked with us! She was so reassuring and was just as excited to start planning as we were. We knew during that call that she was the one, and we booked immediately.
The planning process was so smooth! She sent us a whole list of locations and ideas after talking to us on our call, that were personally tailored to our vision. She even looked up the moon cycle for us, since Ryan is into Astronomy and wanted to see the Milky Way. She just went above and beyond from the beginning!
On the day of our elopement, there was a storm rolling through. Kaitlyn updated us on the weather the night before and the day of. She was extremely flexible with us and we even changed the location last minute of our first look, which could not have turned out better. She made our day absolutely perfect. It was everything we had envisioned and much more. Drove us to locations, navigated treacherous terrain, and rolled with the punches when it came to changing weather conditions. We felt like long lost friends by the end of the day!
The photos that we received were absolutely STUNNING! They 100% capture who Ryan and I are as a couple. We laughed, joked, cried, screamed in excitement, and just showed every possible emotion together and she managed to capture all of it. When we looked through the album together, it was like reliving our day all over again. We were able to show our friends and family and they were able to feel like they were there because the photos were so naturally us. The amount of compliments we have received on our elopement photos is astounding!
We would recommend Kaitlyn to everyone and have already recommended her to friends and family! There is nothing that we feel could have been better! Even with it storming, we made the absolute best out of it and memories that will last a lifetime.
