I don't even know if I have the words.... We feel SO LUCKY to have hired you. I went into our engagement session feeling nervous and self-conscious and awkward. You guys made both of us feel comfortable and that session turned out to be so much fun! Those portraits came out beautifully! Then, oh the wedding! I could not have asked for a better overall experience as far as the photography went. We loved having you there. There were moments I completely forgot you were around and alas! We have photos you took without us noticing. From the most special moments to the silly, fun, dance floor pics - you captured so many memories for us and our family and friends. We can't thank you enough for that!! BUT... the icing on the cake. When you guys said "Do you want to go get storm pics?" we had no idea what was in store. We still can't believe how amazing those lightning shots are! Everyone we show them to gasp. Thank you thank you thank you for making this part of our life together so beautiful and for capturing so much for us. After all of that, we couldn't fathom considering anyone else for senior portraits! Caleb's are as amazing as we knew they would be and we can't wait to see Ian's next year! I'll be reaching out for some professional headshots at some point and have recommended you to EVERYONE we know is looking for a photographer. We can't fully express our gratitude. We would not have changed a thing.

We are Amanda and Zac Haigh. We got married too! We are your typical Coloradoans that enjoy a good craft beer, and a long hike. We are Colorado wedding and elopement photographers and filmmakers. We want to go beyond that though-- we want to get to know you and your story. It deserves to be told authentically and beautifully. We are Forest Picture Company, and we are all about serving and creating beautiful images of our unique and adventurous couples in Colorado and anywhere you are! Do you want an experience that is fun and laid back? Well, grab a beer and stick around. We’re so excited you’re here.

I don’t even know where to begin with Amanda and Zac. There is so much good, I don’t know where to start! Working with Forest Picture Co was the highlight of the wedding day, besides the getting married part, of course! They were patient and kind to everyone, took their time collecting the groups for photographs, and even worked with the DJ, and climbed on a ladder to get an epic cold sparkler shot on the dance floor that no one was expecting! They went out of their way, every single chance they got, to make us feel like celebrities on our wedding day. They are truly kind, genuine people who deliver on what they promise. That is not always easy to find in the wedding industry these days. Oh, and did I mention that we moved our wedding from Colorado (their home base) to North Carolina…and they still showed up for us!? Working with Amanda and Zac was easily one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and we would choose them every single time.

Estes Park, Colorado-based micro wedding & elopement photographer for nature-loving couples who crave a wedding day that's laid-back and uniquely them. Together, let’s create a day that reflects who you are, surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors and all the things you love most.

Amber was beyond amazing to work with. My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose her to photograph our elopement. She encouraged us to make the day truly about the two of us and she crafted the perfect timeline so we could have a relaxing, intimate and memorable day that we’ll never forget. Aside from how great the actual day was, the photos turned out incredible and we’re so lucky to have them to look back on for the rest of our lives. We eloped at the Sand Dunes and Amber was a perfect guide throughout the entire day. We had a lot of ups and downs to deal with (food poisoning, unexpected freezing weather, hail on our motorcycle ride) and she handled it all like a champ and helped to move activities around, I’m really not sure what we would have done without her. She clearly has a huge passion for her work and it truly shows in her stunning photos. If you’re on the fence about eloping, just do it ) Thanks for everything, Amber!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

Working with Meghan isn't a service--it's an experience. Meghan eschews the cookie-cutter mechanisms of the wedding industry to embrace the individuality and vision of the couple.

Hi, I'm Hillary! When I’m not photographing your most important moments, I’m hiking in the morning light with my family, creating videos for conservation based non-profits, reading the latest book in Reese Witherspoon’s book club, and eating oreos–cookies are my weakness! My favorite stories to tell are always LOVE stories. My photography style is to focus on precious candid moments that naturally occur between people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to reach for your wedding album and have all of the memories come flooding back—the bliss, sentiment, light, and laughter from the day you began your greatest adventure yet.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hillary was so easy and fun to work with that after our engagement session with her, we didn't hesitate to book her for our fall 2021 wedding! She was warm and kind and even though we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera, my fiance and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend instead of posing for photos. Our photos were returned promptly (even though Hillary had a newborn at home!), and we were so impressed by how many photos we got from our two hour session with her. Our photos far surpassed our expectations; Hillary did a wonderful job of capturing our genuine joy, love, and friendship, while also perfectly capturing the beauty of our state, which was really important to my fiance and I. Most importantly, our dog loved her, and Hillary was able to capture some truly adorable photos with her, too. We can't recommend her enough, and we are so excited to have her be a part of our wedding day!

I don't even know where to begin! I knew Simone was our number one choice from the first time I looked at his website. His photos are beautiful, adventurous, and somehow classic AND edgy. Simone was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry and we were able to meet up in person that same week and for us there was no looking back. Our experience with Simone was nothing short of perfect and we truly felt like we not only had a great photographer but a great friend, throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful but Simone made the engagement and wedding photo experience so easy and fun for us and we are SO happy with our photos- both engagement and wedding photos. We can't recommend Mastrosimo Photography enough. Thank you!!!!

My family's history is rooted in the Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park areas. My grandparents built our family cabin in Allenspark and we have been exploring the Rocky Mountains ever since...soo when I started photographing weddings, naturally Estes Park was the spot I saw myself in! Don't get me wrong I love photographing weddings in Boulder, Fort Collins, Denver, Longmont and Loveland as well... but Estes Park? Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park will forever have my heart.

Megan and her work was everything we could’ve imagined and more!! Every person I’ve shared our gallery with has commented on how beautiful and stunning our photos turned out. I’ve scrolled through our gallery probably 10,000 times by now. Megan was on our venue’s preferred vendor list and after checking out her website and meeting with her, I was sold. Her personality is so fun and easy going, I wish I lived in Colorado and could hangout with her more!! Neither my husband or I are good picture takers but Megan made us feel at ease, pointed us in the right direction, handled our wild groomsmen, and really captured our personalities. She was amazing at dealing with all of our family dynamics and personalities and kept the day moving and on time. Megan is on point with the little details too, helping us with our day of timeline, sent us the sweetest pre-wedding gift, and got us some sneak peaks practically before we woke up the next morning! 10/10 recommend!

Hi my name is Jaclyn and I give infinite cares. I want to give you more than beautiful photos. Sure, I love those images of my couples laughing so hard together in that beautiful golden lighting!! I love when you can see how locked in they are on each other in the moment. You can see how comfortable they feel. They practically forgot I was there for a second or two. It’s unreal and it gets to me every time. But I want to give you so much more. It’s my job to hustle relentlessly after the moments of your day, and to do that so joyfully!!

We had the honor of having Jaclyn be our photographer for our wedding - and she is incredible! From a great engagement shoot up and down mountains in Boulder to our “across the front range, Covid restriction wedding” day - Jaclyn certainly traveled across the state with us to various outdoor venues in the middle of the Covid pandemic - and she did it all with complete class and professionalism while making us feel like she’s a good friend of ours. The photos that she takes are stunning. Great quality and amazing angles and perspectives. Her process of being genuine, fun, and making you feel special makes the process fun and easy. Having my photo taken isn’t something I enjoy and I hate posing, but the light-hearted, fun approach that Jaclyn takes makes the shoot a great experience. She is truly talented, captured everything, and we will treasure these photos forever. Thank you so much! If you’re reading this to determine who your photographer should be, choose Jaclyn!

She was so fast with our photo sneak peeks, and we can’t wait to see more of the photos and get prints of them for our house!

I am based in Fort Collins, CO. I am a wife, a mama of three girls, + love what I do. For the past few years, I have bounced around a bit + have had the privilege of photographing weddings + families all over the country. To me, photography is more than your photos, it's your whole experience. My hope is that we get to know each other personally because I want to be a part of telling YOUR story. I want you to feel the freedom to be yourselves in the exact season of life you are in.

We had a blast working with Jenna Luna. She made two awkward nerds feel comfortable in front of a camera. She has a ton of great ideas about where to shoot and is great at posed and natural looking photos. When she says she wants to take photos outside at golden hour -- trust her!! She was also great to work with and professional throughout.

Weddings are special to us! The way we see it, when your wedding day is over, you’ll walk away with two things: your marriage and your wedding photos. We hope that you choose a team who helps you relive your priceless, timeless memories again and again. At PHOCO, we don't take this responsibility lightly and we would be honored to capture your wedding day just as it unfolds. In the process, we hope to become not only your photographer or videographer, but friends.

From the moment we first reached out to PHOCO, their communication was prompt, calm and incredibly helpful. Patrick and the PHOCO team were an absolute joy to work with, and their work is simply stunning. Our wedding was in Cozumel, Mexico in February, and even when Patrick and I both fell ill, he had a backup plan in place and kept me informed every step of the way. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking - they perfectly captured the beauty and joy of our special day, and I will cherish these memories forever. PHOCO is truly the best wedding photography team in Colorado, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have the chance to work with them, do not hesitate - the beautiful, flawless photos they create will be the #1 thing you love about your wedding day.

I’m a husband, dog dad, fisher, hiker and lover of life. Currently based in Colorado and pursuing the dream of photographing weddings on digital & analog. I was raised overseas with a life full of travel, always drawn to carrying a camera and documenting all of life’s fleeting moments. My general approach to photography is intentional, candid and laid back. You can find me listening to Jazz (Art Pepper, John Coltrane) while working on my 99 Land Cruiser. I cherish the good things in life, like porch hangs with my wife and pup. Time with family and good conversations with those that I love.

Sam is an incredibly talented photographer that I've had the pleasure of working alongside for years. His professionalism and communication has always been prompt and clear in addition to him being a very easy and pleasant person to work with. I'd highly suggest his services to anyone looking for a Colorado Wedding Photographer - especially one that shoots film. Many will say that they shoot film when they really just shoot a few rolls on a point and shoot - Sam however is very skilled and passionate about the film he shoots. I'd highly suggest checking out his film add-on.

An old friend recently got married. Before she received her wedding photos back from their (amazing) photographer she had compiled her friends cell phone photos to share. She described it as the ‘raw footage’ before the professional photos were released. I love that so much. I feel like that’s how this film, documentary style I have feels. The images I give you feel like the raw footage from your closest friends and family.

Elise is the best in the biz! She is so easy-going, and professional, and her photos always bring us so much joy. We hire her every year for our family photos and wish we had known her back when we got married - guess we'll just have to hire her when we renew our vows! I love that she loves film photography, and that she's super easy to work with - thanks for all the memories, Elise!!
