Meet the Human behind the Lens
Hi there, I’m Kristina Rusch—but you can call me Krush.
​
My journey into photography didn’t follow a straight line; it’s been an adventure full of twists, turns, and unexpected inspiration. I started out photographing live music and festivals, captivated by the way a single frame could freeze the energy of a fleeting moment. Over time, I found myself drawn to capturing love stories in the wild—weddings, elopements, and intimate celebrations surrounded by nature’s beauty.
​
Originally from New York, I grew up with a camera in hand and a father who was a wedding photographer. I didn’t think I’d follow in his footsteps, but here I am, blending my background in film production with a deep love for storytelling. My move to Colorado sparked a passion for the outdoors, and now I combine my love for photography, nature, and meaningful connections into a career that feels like home.
​
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, snowboarding, or setting up charcuterie boards in remote national park locations for adventure travel guests. My Goldendoodle, Grace, and my very vocal cat, Griswold, are my constant companions, and I’m probably talking about them too much (sorry, not sorry).
​
For me, photography is more than taking beautiful pictures—it’s about celebrating life’s most meaningful moments in places that feel extraordinary. Whether you’re planning a weekend-long adventure wedding, an intimate elopement, or a mountain escape with your closest people, I’m here to help tell your story in a way that’s true to who you are.
​
Let’s make something unforgettable together.

Kristina Rusch
Owner & Lead Photographer

Kristina absolutely held my hand the entire time (which I begged to her to do!) She was instrumental in the site visit and helped me to make decisions about how to layout the day as well as advising me on the best spots for photos.
She was so calm and flexible the day of the wedding. We had to recalibrate some photos due to potential rain and she handled the guests and the quick maneuver so well!
Kristina was also so lovely with our family and friends. She is so genuine and relatable when emotions are high. And also very calm (which was helpful!) She put everyone at ease for the photos and captured some incredible candid moments that are some of our favorites from the full wedding album.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Kristina and would recommend her 10 out of 10!
