Fox & Fig Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,250
  • Serves Cortez, CO

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would definitely recommend Fox & Fig Photography for any of your photo needs. Sarah combines her skill of producing quality photos, along with her personal and professional skills to match exactly what her clients want. She is truly an amazing photographer on all levels and we love working with her.

  • Serves Cortez, CO

What I love most about a wedding day is the story—your story. I love the way Mom does up the dress or the way the Best Man helps with cufflinks. I love capturing the first time your future spouse sees you. I love when the flower girl decides the petals are better in her mouth than in the air (this has happened!) I love when Grandma sheds those tears of happiness. I love hearing people's vows! I love how there is always an awkward and sentimental speech, or when Aunt B has an extra glass of wine and dances barefoot raving about what a great party it is! Beyond that, I really love capturing people at the beginning of their love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mira was amazing to work with and our wedding photos are amazing, exactly what we wanted. We had a somewhat nontraditional wedding- intimate ceremony outdoors with family and an indoor reception almost an hour away. We honestly weren't sure how to create a timeline for the day and Mira was instrumental in helping us create a plan that would work, be low stress and honor what we wanted for our wedding. You should absolutely hire her!!

Candance Marie Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Cortez, CO

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

Hey we're Ross, Brittany and River (our new daughter). We're a husband and wife team of 14 years! We live full time in our RV with our 4 rescues (3 cats and a dog - Hemi, Khleo, Khaleesi and Barton (RIP Lola) and have had the privilege of photographing in some of the most epic landscapes and wedding venues the US and world has to offer. We split our time between Colorado and Las Vegas (and everywhere in between and around) but our bags are always packed and ready to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ross and Brittany were outstanding! We are so happy to have found them as photographers for our wedding. They are so easy to talk to and are so much fun to be with, which makes taking some of the most important and intimate photos of your life easy and natural. Plus, they were early, prepared, and captured every moment beautifully! We are ecstatic with how all the photos turned out from our engagement shoot and wedding (we highly recommend doing an engagement shoot to get to know them before your wedding and also confirm you like their style, though we’re sure you will!). I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer that doesn’t just take photos, but creates art by capturing the whole scene, and makes the process of working with them fun!

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

Every photographer ever will tell you they've had a camera in their hands since childhood. For many, that's true! For me, I won the grand prize at my county fair for photography when I was eight years old. Photography was a tool that I used to express myself and find my unique perspective on life after my dad passed away when I was seven. I didn't realize until October of 2021 that photography was my true calling. After two years as a cosmetologist and three years as an RN, I finally listened to what the universe had been trying to tell me all along: photography is my passion and my purpose.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kensey was recommended to us from a colleague of my fiancé's at the time. She couldn’t say enough good things about her. I got in touch with her and she’s just the best! She made us feel so comfortable and confident. Lays out every detail and is so good at communicating. I will use her for everything and suggest her to everyone!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to engagement photos to the day of she was so helpful, warm, and organized; she made getting the photos we wanted and being where we needed to be at the right time feel so easy and fun. And the photos speak for themselves; we absolutely love them!!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma was an absolute dream to work with! Quick to respond to messages; very helpful with location scouting and wardrobe choices. She promised to have our gallery edited and delivered within 2 weeks of our shoot date and she did not disappoint! My fiancé and I are absolutely in love with our photos - they're everything we had hoped for, and then some! I sent Emma a plethora of inspo photos on Pinterest and now I feel like I have my very own Pinterest board of photos that are all of me and my fiancé - they are perfection! We hope to work with Emma again in the future - cannot recommend her enough!

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event. I highly recommend Taylor to couples seeking not only beautiful photographs that will serve as lasting memories, but also a stress-free, authentic, personable experience on their big day.

We LOVED working with Shay. From the moment I arrived for my bridal shots, she made me feel totally at ease. She was funny, easy going, and yet totally focused, and she knew just what to say to get me to relax. It was the same with our first look shots--my husband and I were so nervous, but Shay had us laughing right away. She took absolutely beautiful shots of us all evening. And the photos she took all throughout the ceremony and reception are fun, vibrant, flattering, and totally capture the happy, magical day we had. We really couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She was SO prompt, too, in getting our finalized images to us! And she's a kind, quick communicator. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!

A POET WITH A CAMERA IN HER HAND: I’m Ayla — pronounced “eye-luh”, like “I love you” — and I never quite grew out of seeing things the way I did as a kid: heart first, bright eyed, curious about everything and particularly drawn to movement and pretty light. My travels, my writing (certified art school kid), and my big family have brought me from that inquisitive, emotional child to the woman I am today: knee deep in wonder & riverbeds, usually mid-laugh, and so full of gratitude for my life I can hardly contain it to language.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad we chose Ayla to do our wedding photos! They turned out so great and we really feel like they show who we are as a couple. The day itself was a lot of fun. She did a great job of instructing us on how to pose while making it all feel really natural. Before our courthouse wedding itself she also had a lot of advice on good locations for the photoshoot which really helped us plan the day. We highly recommend her!

Going through the photos we were able to relive the best day of our lives. The delivery of our photos was right on time, and such quick turn around as well. We had sneak peeks only days after that we were able to share right away. The team was amazing with things thrown their way.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

Meghan was such a pleasure to work with and we kept saying over and over again throughout the wedding process, “We are so how grateful we booked her!” Literally you ask any of our family and friends what was the phrase we said the most throughout our wedding process was, “We absolutely love our photographer!” She made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process and truly helped us get not just the photos that we desired but BEYOND that. She is an absolute artist at finding the perfect shot and her positive attitude helps you feel at peace while you’re planning all the details of your wedding day.

If you’re looking for a photographer that is truly talented and has a unique style that isn’t cookie cutter, Libby is your girl!! She captured our wedding day and engagement pictures so beautifully and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is huge. I had never really been photographed before and it can be super awkward. She has a true talent in making people feel comfortable and easy in front of the camera. I can’t recommend her enough, she truly is the BEST! 1000/10 recommend!!!

Hey there! I am Gabriel and I am super excited that you are here. I could continue to talk about my boring process, but you don't really care about that anyways. INSTEAD, I just want to say how wonderful it is that you are getting married!

Gabe was amazing to work with for our beach wedding! He was very professional and helpful along the way in terms of the photography and making sure we had everything planned out ahead of time with the timeline on the wedding day and getting the specific photos we wanted. He was also super helpful with getting John and I into different poses and has a great eye for knowing what will look good in photos. He helped the photography aspect of our wedding run very smoothly and efficiently and he went above and beyond to get so many photos of all the different details of our wedding. I am beyond happy with all of the photos and can't wait to print them and hang them up in our apartment! The photos are even better than I was expecting and I highly recommend Gabe to anyone for their wedding photography!

Art and storytelling is my passion when it comes to photography, but I'm also all about capturing raw real emotions, candid moments, and photojournalism. Aside from photographing your day, I also help with finding wedding vendors & venues, or location scouting and lodging if you're eloping. I want your wedding/elopement process to be as stress free as possible! Whether it's your wedding day, elopement, or another special occasion, I'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

Working with Krystalle was truly a dream for us. Her style is extremely fitting with the mood we wanted for our wedding- dreamy, romantic, moody. She made everything so easy for us and truly made things fun. I am forever thankful for the experience we had and that she was able to shoot our wedding. A thousand times over, I would ask for her to shoot our wedding again! In addition, she did our engagement shoot and was everything we were looking for 3

He loves capturing the beauty of others and empowering people from behind the lens. He has mastered an array of lighting techniques to blend controlled and natural light for any style.

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photographer, AJ! He was an absolute pro, expertly capturing every moment despite WIND, weather, difficult guests, and me and my husband’s different skin tones, making sure we both looked our best. He handled everything with ease, made us feel super comfortable and taken care of, and he delivered absolutely stunning shots that exceeded all our expectations! Every single photo we received was amazing—truly more than we could have asked for

My name is Jillian and I'm a photographer and artist in Kansas City My goal is to capture you. Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!
