Kate Merrill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Lafayette, 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

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I believe that wedding photography should be about you. This is your love, your story and your adventure. Here's what I believe you deserve: A.

I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C. Amazingly personal photographs where you don't feel like a stranger in your own wedding album. I want to give you a fun experience, and allow you to be fully present in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex (and his awesome assistant Maddie) not only perfectly captured our wedding, but they truly helped us celebrate the joy and love we felt on the day. Alex is grounded, calm, and helped us stay focused on one another and our community. He acted like our secret protector, carving out time throughout the night for us to bask in all of the small and big moments. In addition to being immensely talented, he is incredibly professional. Leading up to the wedding he was highly communicative (with both us and our planner) and took the time to get to know us. During the day, he played air traffic controller with our extended families without missing a beat. And he even shared a sneak peak of the previews by the next morning for us to celebrate before our honeymoon. We are so grateful that Alex was our photographer. The photos are timeless, and he is just such a great human.

I am a wedding photographer here to freeze the day of your dreams in time. Whether it’s an intimate elopement by an alpine lake or an epic family affair, I’ve got you covered. 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 honorary bridesmaid here to cheer you on, 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.

Makaila is an absolute star photographer! She was very communicative, very easy to work with, so much fun, and took amazing photos. We were so nervous, but after meeting Makaila for the first time it felt like we had found the perfect photographer. She asked all the rig questions to help us understand how everything would go and really had a sincere connection. Her work is unparalleled and we are so lucky to have worked with her. Her photos were exactly as we had pictured - the use of detail, action shots, sensual shots, thoughtful shots, and editing were very much on point. I can’t say enough how awesome she is as a human and her work will leave you breathless.

Her expertise in herding my family was greatly appreciated and we cannot recommend her enough! We never realized how incredibly important an experienced photographer would be in keeping our wedding running on schedule, but she was easily just as important as our onsite coordinator! Our wedding would not have been the same without her :)

We had an older crowd at the wedding and she was great with all of them. My husband and I were nervous about being photographed but she's so kind and fun it felt very natural.

I'm a Boulder wedding photographer with a passion for documenting your day as it happened and highlighting the people and relationships you value most. I'd love to spend time exploring and capturing the moments that tell the story of you.

We happened to know Jonathan already because of his work as an aerospace engineering student (yes, the guy is a genius). Turns out, he's also a genius with photography! I can't get enough of looking at our wedding photos, they are spectacular. His editorial eye is superb, you'd think he'd been doing this for decades. He's also a genuinely great person and fun to hang out with while you're getting ready and taking all of those pre-ceremony photos where it's just the 3 of your for a few hours. He kept things light and even helped out setting up the chairs for the ceremony when we first arrived at the venue because the chair rental company lapsed in doing that (a story for another review). We cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough! And no, it's not weird to ask him to take pictures of your wedding food (because we did). You'll be surprised how much you enjoy seeing the spread when you revisit the day.

A little fun stuff about me: I believe in goodnight kisses and holding hands as you fall asleep. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and share our house with four furry children, a foster kiddo or two, and two sons, Easton and Finn. I’m often quiet, but I could talk about The Bachelorette for hours. I believe that exploring is more important than getting to your destination. I believe the perfect day is an afternoon in the mountains & a night cuddling at home. I re-read my favorite books because a good story never gets old. I believe in planning your dreams

Working with Jennie is always such a pleasure! Not only does her work always blow us away, but she also has amazing communication skills. Jennie knows exactly what she is doing and is full of professionalism, but also shows her sweet and caring nature while we are working together. Any time Jennie is the wedding photographer while we are planning, we know that the clients are in great hands because she takes such great care of them at all times!

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them.

With Yellow Paddle you can have it all! Pick your affordable wedding package and your wedding photographer for half the price of most professional photographers.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

They made both of us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the entire process. They are willing to work with you on every detail you have an even go above and beyond. We are beyond pleased and excited to have them photograph our most important day! Lastly, the photos we have received so far are nothing short of amazing and we look forward to seeing the remainder soon. Great quality with overall great people! Thank you so much Erica and Neil. I would recommend you guys to anyone and everyone!

Jeron was fantastic throughout our entire engagement and wedding process! He was super communicative, professional, and knowledgeable which was a huge stress relief throughout all the planning. He did our engagement photos too as part of our package, and was even able to find us a second photographer last minute for the wedding due to our time constraints. He is a 10/10 person to work with, and we are SO happy with our photos!

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Kirst not only captured our wedding day but also documented three additional days of our big fat Indian wedding. She consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Kirst’s communication was clear and prompt—she made sure to understand every detail of our timeline, the moments that mattered most to us, and who we are as a couple, all to perfectly showcase the love and emotion of each moment. During the events, Kirst expertly helped us set up our desired posed shots. With her artistic eye, she guided us to stunning, natural compositions that highlighted our outfits, the environment, and our emotions. Some of our favorite shots ended up being the candid ones she captured. Looking through the photos, it feels as though Kirst perfectly saw the day through our eyes. Not only is Kirst incredibly talented and professional, but she is also sweet and a true joy to have around. Beyond delivering stunning photos, she became a meaningful part of our wedding celebrations, bringing even more joy to our special days.
