Kate Merrill Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Idaho Springs, CO

I’m Kate; a dog obsessed, coffee shop lurking, total weirdo of a Denver wedding photographer. I’m blessed with a very dry sense of humor (I’m British, I can't help it) and love using it to diffuse awkwardness in front of the camera. As one of my couples wonderfully phrased it, I’m “artsy without being inaccessible.” You know when things look good, and I do too. I’m here for the weirdos, wanderers, and folx who make the world a more interesting place. I AM INCLUSIVE OF ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE AND ALL TYPES OF LOVE. When you reach out to me, you will be met with nothing other than encouragement, support, and excitement to celebrate YOU.

Can't say enough good things about Kate! Kate's photos looked fun and candid, but still beautiful, and the prices were quite reasonable (we researched dozens of photographers). When we messaged her, she was so responsive and fun we knew we had to have her no matter what. She was very thorough, making sure we got the pictures WE wanted, and not what our parents or other guests might be thinking. Everything was laid out way ahead of time so we all knew what to expect. I really appreciated the planning beforehand, because while it can be a lot, it made the actual wedding day/week SO much smoother. Pictures took about 6 weeks, which was great turn around for *over 600 photos*. We absolutely love them! Some of the photos are gorgeous posed shots of my husband and I that I'm absolutely getting framed, but some of the best are these candid moments from after the wedding and reception. She got us signing our marriage license, hugging and crying with our guests, and doing finger guns with my sister at the reception. She didn't miss a thing and it's the best recreation of the day we could've possibly asked for. All our guests also remarked on how cool she was - some of them even thought she was just a friend of ours they'd never met cause she fit in so well! GET KATE

Proud to call Lakewood home. We love traveling our beautiful state capturing the most important moments in couple's lives! Our lead team consists of Beau and Luke (photographers) and Reese (videography.) We approach weddings in a photojournalistic style with a focus on candid/genuine moments. Of course, we want stunning portraits of the couple, wedding party, family, and friends, but also capture the joy and emotion in real moments throughout the day. I hope we can schedule consultation to see if we would be a good fit. Equality minded, we love all couples!

From the moment we booked Blue Spruce Photography Videography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

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 loved having Santana and Anna as our photographers! We used the 1.5 package, and Santana was our primary photographer. They were highly professional, easy to work with, and punctual. Santana had a video chat with us a couple weeks before our wedding, and he made sure to cover every detail of the day so that we would be happy with the photos! They were very kind throughout our entire day, and they were great with coordinating our family photos so we could stay on schedule. The photos we received afterwards were absolutely gorgeous! Santana and Anna made sure to capture our favorite moments, and even did an extra photo session during golden hour that gave us the most beautiful photos. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

  • Serves Idaho Springs, CO

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years. I often work with adventurous couples who look beyond what most of the wedding industry is selling and wanna start their own traditions. I've worked in huge east-coast ballrooms, on Mexican beaches, and at the edges of Moab cliffs. And I'll happily travel to wherever you're doing your own damn thing on your wedding day. I focus on capturing your favorite people in the world and giving you images that pull you right back into the feeling of the day. My style is natural, candid, and joyful, with some sassy editorial portraits and a whole lotta crazy dance floor shots.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! No one is ever as excited about a wedding as the couple getting married unless you are Cory!! Cory’s enthusiasm and excitement are unmatched and equally contagious. He fit right in as a guest at our wedding- super personable, great sense of humor, and danced with us for hours. Dozens of guests commented to us on how great he was – one guest asked if he was a cousin and one of the bridesmaids even asked why he wasn’t at brunch the day after! We had a very specific vision for our wedding, which included getting married where we met, on the ridgeline of Redcloud Peak in the San Juans, plus a larger ceremony and reception two days later at Winter Park Resort for a larger group. Cory jumped up and down at the opportunity! We met with Cory a few times before the wedding hike to run through the plan. On the day of the hike, Cory and his second shooter, Michael, hauled all their equipment and hiked with us 4 miles up to 13,000 feet for the first ceremony, and then again to the summit of Redcloud to take more photos. Their excitement was incredible- at one point during the hike up, Michael jumped into a stream to get the right shot! The sneak peeks that Cory shared with us of the summit shots were unreal. On the day of the Winter Park ceremony and reception, Cory directed so many fantastic shots of family, groomsmen, bridesmaids, and the party ahead of the ceremony and Cory and Michael were at the right place in the right time for the entire night. Cory danced his way in, out, and across the dance floor all evening to get amazing, intimate angles of us and our guests and they also both found and captured some really beautiful moments throughout the night. Cory’s direction and guidance in getting the right shots during every phase of both days was absolutely unparalleled. His eye for capturing feelings shared by people is unmatched. We loved having both Cory and Michael at both of our weddings and are so overjoyed that they could be there to share those days with us. We could not have imagined a better experience with a wedding photographer and couldn’t recommend Cory enough!

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.

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!

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were recommended to Hearts in Focus by our wedding planner, and we're so glad we went with them. From our first conversation, the team was incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly. On the day of the wedding, they were a calming presence and captured all the special moments beautifully. The quality of the photos and video is stunning - we love how they were able to artfully document our day. Hearts in Focus provided excellent value and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented photographers who will make the process seamless.

100% 5/5 stars. They were absolutely fabulous photographers for our wedding (June 2023). We had both of them for eight hours. I would (and have) recommended them to others. Neither of us are picture people and they made us so, so comfortable and the pictures we got back were truly a work of art. I'm still astonished with how beautiful everything turned out even almost three months later 3

That means capturing every little glance in-between moments, the magic in the details - big and small - and then wrapping it all up into a stunning portrait gallery you’ll pass down for generations. Consider me your ultimate wedding teammate, here to cheer you on and pull the pine needles out of your train. I’m wholly invested in you having the time of your life, and capturing it for you to relive time and time again. I can’t wait to start dreaming with you!

From start to finish, our experience with Makaila was truly exceptional! Right from the beginning, her help and support made us feel at ease and in good hands - asking helpful questions, collaborating with us on options, and promptly addressing all of our questions. The photos and video she captured on our wedding day were incredible, far and away exceeding our expectations. We’ve had so much fun looking back at them, putting together photo books for our families, and watching the incredibly cool video she created using an old film video camera. She perfectly captured all of the magic and moments of our wedding day. If you want someone who is thoughtful, talented, easy to work with, and generally fun to be around - look no further!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

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!

Just want to brag about our photographer Osmany! Osmany worked with my wife and myself during our wedding photo shoot in Boulder, CO. He had multiple forms for us to fill out which helped him learn more about us and our story. Despite living in a different state, Osmany still had a way of ensuring our day was going to be captured to the fullest by setting up a virtual call to discuss important topics for our big day. Prior to our wedding ceremony, I had LASIK eye surgery and Osmany made sure to accommodate my needs into our photo shoot as I wasn’t allowed to be outdoors without sunglasses. Upon meeting Osmany at the wedding location, he INSTANTLY began helping in ALL aspects he could which helped our ceremony go 2x as smooth. He helped setup the arch, helped put the boutonnieres on our suits, helped with getting everyone in place, and so much more. Osmany had 2 different editing styles for the pictures at which you get to choose how your photos are edited and he returned our pictures fairly quick! We’ve had non stop feedback from friends and family of how he did an outstanding job. I give Osmany more than a 10/10, and you should book with him now! Thank you again Osmany, you’re amazing!
