Where do I even begin--how about with how hard it was to pick ONLY ten photos to include with this review?!? When we purchased Yellow Paddle's 1.5 photographer package, I was already over the moon. Having a second shooter, even for part of the day, was something I never dreamed I could afford, and it was so exciting to find a photography vendor where the pricing was so readily available. It's almost impossible to quantify the ways that Lan and Mike contributed to our day, and I am still in shock at how much I paid for how much we got. Yellow Paddle let us peruse all of their available photographers for our wedding date, and aside from how much we loved Lan's portfolio, there was also so much in his biography that resonated with us as a couple. From the moment we met Lan at our (incredibly well-priced) engagement session, we knew we had hit the nail on the head. Talking to him was easy, we shared tons of common interests, and despite both feeling very awkward in front of a camera, Lan captured our love and excitement with such intimacy and authenticity. Because of the connection we built at our engagement session, welcoming Lan into our getting-ready spaces was much more like greeting an old friend than meeting a wedding vendor. We didn't get to choose our second shooter with the 1.5 photographer package, but Mike was also an invaluable part of our day. My husband mentions frequently that Mike helped put him at ease just before our first look photos when he was feeling his most nervous. Lan and Mike worked well with each other, too; there wasn't any tension or stepping on each other's toes. When we got our gallery back (far sooner than the expected delivery date), we were in absolute awe. Lan and Mike delivered far above and beyond what we had ever dreamed of receiving when we started planning our wedding, and frankly above and beyond what we even expected based on Yellow Paddle's pricing/package details. From the staged family photos and accessory shots to the candids of guests and private moments between my husband and me, Lan and Mike truly captured the warmth, intimacy, love, and connection we felt throughout our special day. I am so excited to get to enjoy our photos for years and years to come. I cannot possibly recommend Yellow Paddle, and SPECIFICALLY Lan Vo, strongly enough for your wedding day.

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

Katie is an amazing photographer! She has contagious joy that brightens up your day and makes everyone want to be in her photos. She is talented and confident which allows her to work quickly and smoothly. Katie helped build our wedding day schedule so that we had plenty of time for photos. On our wedding day, Katie was calm and easy going. Although she was working quickly and we were behind schedule when her work began, she made us feel like we had all the time in the world while also getting our day back on schedule. As she took photos, she gave us ideas and then allowed us to choose the backdrop, poses, props, etc that we liked the best. She was a joy to be around and the photos we received are magazine worthy! Totally worth the investment! I would hire Katie again in a heartbeat.

Kelly Jean Photography was the perfect choice for our small wedding. She was so willing to travel out of state for us which we are so thankful for! She was professional, yet made photos such a fun time for everyone. As non-photogenic people we were grateful for how naturally she was able to capture us. The quality of her work was lovely, and I look forward to having such beautiful photos to remember our day. I highly recommend Kelly Jean for any occasion!

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a witness and documenter of truth. I've specialized in Wedding & Portrait Photography for the last 10 years and am grateful to call in my full time career. I’ve been blessed with photographing over 180 weddings and it is truly the biggest honor to witness a wedding day and freeze it in time. In my free time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with family, friends, and cats. I love adventuring with my husband and feel most at home being outdoors exploring new places.

I don’t think works can describe how instrumental Kimberly was to making our wedding planning and wedding day memorable. From our first phone call we instantly knew we found the right person. Our engagement pictures turned out better than we imagined and my boudoir shoot was the most empowering experience ever!! We both never take pictures so had anticipated this process to be uncomfortable, but had the complete opposite experience. She is now stuck with us for every major milestone! Not only did we have fun but truly felt that our personalities were captured and the joy she captured was palpable. This was the best investment we made to fully capture such a memorable!! Our guests also had nothing but positive things to say and echoed our sentiments on how enjoyable she made our day!

I encourage my couples to push for what they want on their wedding day- whether that's a white dress on a golf course or something free from tradition. My own wedding was at our first date spot (a coffee/whiskey/donut shop), Carbon Coffee, Downtown Denver. It was incredibly meaningful and one of the best days of my life. I'd like to ensure my clients the same wonderful memories. *Discounts to active military and first responders!

Katie was SO fun & great to work with. She braved 1 degree temps to get me the engagement photos I’d been dreaming of! I cannot wait to have her shoot our wedding in January!

Shelly is a luxury award-winning wedding photographer who has photographed events all over the country and internationally. She focuses on the details, emotions, and the environment on the wedding day. Shelly's theory is; "the flowers will wilt, the invitations will be thrown away, and the cake will be eaten.....but the photographs will be how you remember and are brought back to that day. Photographs evoke an emotion in your when you look back on them. When you see a photo of your maid of honor laughing during the speech, or your parents tearing up during the vows....you will remember exactly how you felt that day."

We were thrilled with Shelly Anderson Photography for capturing our wedding day memories! Shelly and her team were a dream to work with - prompt, easy, and detailed communication made planning a breeze. On the big day, Shelly focused on capturing genuine moments, from our emotional first look to little details that embodied the joy and love we felt.

Most of all, Shelly and team made us feel comfortable being ourselves. Their caring professionalism shines through in their work and interactions.

I'm a destination wedding photographer with over a decade of experience capturing amazing love stories around the world. This is my life's work and I am passionate about what I do. My goal as a photographer is to not only authentically capture your story in a natural way but to also create fine art; that you will cherish and treasure for years to come.

Was initially a little intimidated about choosing a wedding photographer. I think wedding photography across the board is gorgeous, but I knew I wanted someone who understood my vision of vibrant color, playful portraits, and capturing the details my husband and I had so carefully picked. Came across Nicole on a Facebook ad-- not remotely expecting to find a vendor that way. I couldn't stop looking at the photos and reached out to her right away. We had so many great vendors at our November 2023 wedding, but Nicole was on the tippy top of that list in terms of communication, professionalism, time management, energy, and willingness to hear our input. It's been months, but I find myself getting sucked into new photos all the time-- there's that many great shots! One of my bridesmaids is also a wedding photographer, so I asked for her input in hiring Nicole and she was very impressed with her portfolio, her pricing, etc.

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it!

Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

When I think of Matt and MSW Photos, WOW comes to mind. They are incredibly creative and think outside of the norm. They take the time to get to know you and focus on delivering amazing photos you'll be thankful you have for years to come.

We cannot recommend Marcela enough!! She was our photographer and event planner extraordinaire for our elopement in Colorado in August this year after Covid delayed our original wedding plans. I never thought I wanted to elope as I thought it would be settling in some way but now I can't recommend it enough. We have the best most perfect day ever and it was in large part thanks to Marcela!! She helped us to find the perfect location and was totally game to get up in the middle of the night and hike up a mountain with us when we wanted to do a hiking elopement. She also worked with us to come up with an alternate plan when the weather on our original day was less than ideal. She had everything organized for us, made the day go smoothly and was wonderful to hang out with, keeping us relaxed and having fun while also being the ultimate hype woman. We are IN LOVE with our photos, they are just incredible. I have looked at them a million times since she sent them through and they are just perfect. She helped us capture such stunning, natural memories of the day and our friends and family are also blown away by them. I cannot recommend Marcela enough to anyone looking for a photographer. I also highly recommend you book at least 8 hours. We didn't think we needed it and weren't sure what we were going to do for all that time but followed her advice and I am so glad we did. The day just flew by and I think any less time and we would have felt so rushed. Absolutely book her, you won't regret it!!

I’ve been a photographer for almost a decade. I married the love of my life, Ben and we have an unhealthy obsession with our pup, Avery. I love this job with everything in me. I've worked incredibly hard to learn how to connect with my couples. I’ve found through the years that the more comfortable I can make my couples, the better the photographs. It’s taken years to build up the ‘posing’ banks in my head, learning how to manage timelines, different vendors and strict timelines, all while still delivering amazing galleries. When I'm not working, you can find us at a local brewery, finding the best sushi, or booking our next trip to Mexico!

We first stumbled across Ashlee Crowden on Instagram and were instantly in love with her aesthetic. It's real, playful, sexy and moody all at the same time. As venue owners and a newlywed couple, we have worked with Ashlee in many capacities. She has shot several weddings at Juniper Mountain House, including at our own! An LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, we felt like she captured our love so flawlessly. Almost two years later, our family and friends still talk about how good our photos are, a true testament to the timelessness of her photography. One of the things that surprised me most about working with her was how good she was at posing us! She made us feel really comfortable, even bringing music to the engagement shoot to get us warmed up. From a vendor perspective she is a dream to work with. I can't say enough good things about working with Ashlee - she's professional, kind, her photos are amazing, and she'll capture every moment you want to see from your engagement or wedding. Hire her now - I promise you will not regret it!

She went above and beyond to ensure we had beautiful memories of every part of our day, and we are thrilled with the final photos, and we cannot wait for our video. We cannot recommend Blue Orchid Photography Videography highly enough.

My mission is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment for you so that I can capture candid, real-life moments on film. Just follow my lead and I will do the rest! Photography is my passion, and I want to share that experience with as many people as possible. I believe that everyone deserves to have beautiful photos of their family and loved ones.

Working with Michelle was one of the highlights of our wedding day. We were forced to cancel our contract with the first photography company we selected due to their non delivery of services. Michelle jumped in only three months out from our wedding and immediately made us feel confident that our wedding photography would capture the kind of day we were hoping to create! Michelle met with us several times prior to our wedding to make sure we were on the same page. She was responsive and professional throughout our time working together. On our wedding day, Michelle walked us and our family and friends through our poses - each of which were creative and true to the vision we had previously discussed. She also provided some sneak peeks within 24 hours of our event which was a welcome surprise! Overall, working with Matriarch Photography was a joy and money very well spent.

Hi! My name is Jon Kohlwey and I'm a Colorado based photographer specializing in weddings and music. I'm originally from Wisconsin, but moved out to Colorado back in 2000. Before I found my passion in photography, I was working at Granby Ranch learning the ski and golf industry. I then spent two years working as a wedding coordinator for Granby Ranch. There is no wedding too far! When I'm not shooting weddings you can usually find me at a concert or show.

We were thrilled with Jonathan Kohlwey Photography for our wedding! Jon was extremely responsive and encouraging throughout the entire process, from our initial consultation to the big day. His upbeat attitude helped keep us calm and excited. The quality of Jon's work is simply impeccable - his photos are gorgeous, creative and fun. He has a true talent for capturing special moments. From our lively engagement shoot to our first look on our wedding day, Jon helped guide us through getting fantastic photos. His attention to detail and creative vision resulted in beautiful, timeless images that we will treasure forever. We'd highly recommend Jonathan Kohlwey Photography to any Colorado couple planning a wedding or special event!

They took our engagement photos as well and it was such a blast. It was during that session that I knew we had made the right choice. When we received our wedding photos, my husband, family, and I could not believe how beautiful they were and how much the Bultedaobs put into making sure every shot captured the spirit of our wedding. Our photos are such a treasure. Thankful doesn't even begin to cover what we feel for finding this amazing couple to be present on our big day. We look forward to seeing them again in the future when we want professional photos of our family.
