I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Northern Colorado and Western Washington. In my free time I hike, eat lots of food and play with cat & dog. I find photography to be an amazing creative outlet and love using it as a way to connect with some amazing people.

Awarded Best of Zola
We live in California and when we started looking for a photographer for our wedding we didn't think we would book someone who was out of state, but we fell in love with Ashley's editing style and knew we had to have her capture our day. She was amazing to work with, always very responsive and great to communicate with. Me and my husband aren't people who are used to or comfortable being in front of a camera, but Ashley made the whole experience feel so normal that we forgot the camera was even there at times. Our photos came out absolutely stunning, like they were straight out of a magazine. She was amazing at giving us direction without anything being to posey, even the more prompted photos have so much movement and life to them. We will cherish these photos forever and highly recommend Ashley to any couple looking for an exceptional photographer.

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

Dani not only helped us find our elopement spot in Colorado but she was so helpful in structuring our plans. We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet.

I am lucky; I get to do what I love for a living, have a ton of fun doing it, and meet a lot of great people along the way. It's a bonus that I get to also travel a lot for it as well. I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year. This lets me focus on my couples and their weddings, and to tell their stories completely. Over 400 weddings spanning 12+ years. And I have never missed a one. Not even late. I may not take myself too seriously, but I take my commitment to my couple seriously.

It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Jeff was super easy to work with, we just had a few video calls before the big day. During our wedding he and his team captured the full ceremony and reception videos as we'd asked, including all the details and kind words that friends had for us.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

She thinks of every detail you may not consider from a photography standpoint and recommended some great photo ideas. She and her co-photographer kept us perfectly on time the entire day and she had the kind and excitable energy you need from a photographer on your wedding day. We just got our photos back and they’re the best photos ever. So many great candids! They captured the day perfectly.

Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I honestly cannot thank Taylor enough. As a "COVID bride" many things about our wedding did not go as planned and there were plenty of emotions that came with that. However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns. She was so professional on the day of, fast, knew all the "good angles", and made us feel so comfortable! I cannot say enough about her. Not to mention so flexible with the fast-paced change of plans leading up to the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

We are Zion National Park Adventure Elopement and Wedding Photographers for the Awkward and Camera Shy! We’re fun, easy-going, organized, and adaptable: the dream team for all your elopement needs! We are Zion National Park locals and we have extensive experience throughout the states of Utah (Tori's home state) and Colorado (Kyle's home state)

We hired Kyle Loves Tori Photography for our wedding and you should too. Seriously. Do it. Kyle and Tori are the most reasonable, kind, fun-loving, stress-reducing, talented, adventurous people you'll ever meet. Our wedding was an all day affair and they were with us the entire time, capturing the blur of the day, giving us coffee, putting on my stubborn eyelashes, driving us all over creation and so much more. They do such quality work. They captured us, our family and our celebration so accurately and intimately. I don't think they missed getting a picture of even one of our guests, they never made us feel like we were bad at posing (which we are) they just helped us, they gave us shots of wonderful candid moments and even let us take a nap in the back of their car. If you want photographers who feel like best friends, book Kyle and Tori. I promise you will not regret it.

HI THERE! I have been a photographer for the past 10 years but have always had a love for it. I am a wife, mother to 3 almost all grown kids :) and a fur baby mama too. When I started my business I wanted to create something different. Sure beautiful photos are wonderful but I wanted to give my couples and families an experience. I want my clients to have a sense of belonging. My husband is my second photographer and we truly look to serve our clients. Everyone deserves gorgeous images on their wedding day but they also deserve to have someone they connect with and fit with to make that happen.

I have gotten the opportunity to work with Brittani a few times this year and I am so happy that I did. She is not only a super talented photographer, but her creativity and warmth make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are absolutely stunning, I love her work! I would 100% recommend her and truly hope to work with her more in the future!

Big Adventure. Bigger Love. It’s what every couple deserves on their wedding day, and I’m here to help make it happen. I’m Adam, an adventure elopement photographer based in Colorado. I help couples in Colorado and throughout the world create passionate, one-of-a-kind adventures focused solely on their love. I’m a sucker for a good love story, and I can’t wait to help you tell yours. Consider me one of your closest buds, just hanging along for the trip capturing the real moments. The ones where your love transcends space and time (I know, I’m cheesy 😊), and making those photos of you look really damn good.

This review is so long overdue. First off, let me start by saying this: for those who are looking for a photographer who will bring literal magic to your special day, stop scrolling, and book him NOW. Adam is your guy. This man has so much passion for what he does - from capturing your day exactly how you want it, to making you comfortable in front of the camera, to making sure everything is perfect for YOU, to simply being the kindest, bestest, awesomest addition to your wedding.... Adam has truly found his niche, and everything from speaking to him on the phone, to making changes to plans, to him actually doing his photography thing, ALL shows. My wife and I were so BEYOND lucky to have found him. Tassia and I got married on August 1st, 2021, and since then, we have received our photos and keep marveling over them and how amazingly beautiful they are. Adam just knows how to capture the love of his couples. We can FEEL our day and our love every time we go back and look at our photos. It's a special thing. And I truly wish that for anyone who is getting married. I am telling you, if you want someone who will truly capture the aura of your relationship, this guy is it. There is no way that you can find anyone better. Thank you, Adam. For sharing all your hard work, dedication and passion with others. I know I speak on the behalf off all the couples you have shot for when I say you are the freaking best. Tassia and I seriously cannot thank you enough. And we look forward to booking with you again when our big anniversaries come around Cheers!

Ali & Garrett Wedding Photographers

We tell terrible jokes and play stupid pranks on each other. We hold hiking in the mountains and playing board games at home with the same amount of love in our hearts. We "foster" dogs. We're using quotations because we keep adopting them. But above all, we really love our life together. Both the living and the working. We have the best daughter in the world and are slowly building a small but mighty zoo (3 dogs, 1 hamster, and two frogs.) They say opposites attract, we say opposites make the best team.

Ali & Garrett were simply the best photographers for our wedding day. Throughout the entire process, they responded incredibly promptly and emphasized that they were there for us. Instantly, we felt that they had our backs and they went above and beyond what we expected from our wedding photographers. They felt like friends after the first meeting. Our adventure session was unique and they focused on capturing the simplicity of our relationship. There were no moments of forced photos. On our wedding day, they eased our stresses, bustled my dress(!), and focused on making sure we were comfortable and didn't need a break, food, or water. Their ease throughout the entire day made our wedding day feel seamless. They even went to the gym to capture the morning of photos! Importantly, when our families wanted additional photos or added classic family drama, they responded professionally and calmly and focused on what we had told them we wanted. We were their priority and they surpassed every expectation we could have had! Then a few days later, they quickly turned around our sneak peak photos and they were breathtaking. We are incredibly grateful for Ali & Garrett and cannot rate them higher or thank them enough. Don't hesitate to pick them.
