Awarded Best of Zola
All that I can say is to BOOK CASEY for all of your photography needs! Casey first photographed me for my college graduation pictures, and I loved them so much that I knew for years that I wanted Casey to photograph me when I got married. I reached back out to Casey many years later when I got engaged and she was so professional and responsive from the beginning. First, my husband and I eloped in the Italian Dolomites and Casey was the only person to come with us to photograph the most special day of our lives. From the beginning, Casey helped me plan the entire elopement day with logistics, picture spots, and to develop a plan. We talked about some different editing styles so she could make sure to deliver exactly what we wanted. Casey woke up early to help me get ready and was there for us at every step of the day. We went to several photo locations all over the Dolomites and I honestly couldn’t be happier if I tried with the photos from our elopement. The most beautiful pictures I have ever seen and the most amazing memories to have for the rest of our lives. The elopement was extremely nice with Casey there, and we felt comfortable the entire time and will remember her for the rest of our lives. We then dropped her off at the airport and went on the rest of our honeymoon. After our honeymoon (untraditional) we had a wedding celebration at home and Casey photographed that as well. Before that day we made a template of every picture that we wanted to make sure she didn’t miss any special shots with family and friends. She captured every single detail and more of this day and again delivered the most beautiful pictures. I can’t recommend or thank Casey enough for what she has done for us. I plan to continue to use her to photograph all the special moments of our lives. If you want a photographer that is extremely attentive, kind, patient, artistic, and professional book Casey now! You will not be disappointed by her ability to capture memories that last a lifetime.

Lakewood, CO
  • Photojournalistic style

For decades photography has brought Amanda great joy, and a long career in the service industry, and sales, created a well balanced human. She is very much aware of the stress that accompanies planning a wedding, and even elopements can make you want to pour yourself an adult beverage. Amanda makes the process painless from the first meeting, engagement session, until your day of celebrations. She is here not only as your hired professional, but as a sounding bored, and sometimes counselor, to all her amazing clients. Amanda Baker Photography is an inclusive photo studio.

Amanda takes absolutely amazing photos. We love when we get galleries back of our flowers that are clear and make it feel like you're right there holding them, and that is what we got back from Amanda. She is also awesome to work with!

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,650

I am enthralled with chasing whimsy and depth with every breath, every glance, every photograph. More wonderfully, though, is how dreams no longer need chasing when I come across two people in love. Love is its own whole dang storybook. Let me put it this way: I get chills when I see dust catch in the light, I get giddy when I watch a mountain sunset run its fingers through windblown hair, my heart swells when I see flowers blooming through cracks in the street and laughter running wild through the breeze. Hand me a camera and put me in front of two people who are madly in love and try to tell me that I am not living the dream.

Makaila R. was fantastic! Wedding photos were very important to us, but we didn’t have a super high budget so I feel so thankful that we were able to utilize a service like yellow paddle. Unlike other similar services, you are actually able to pick your photographer, which is huge! Everything went as planned. Our photographer was prompt with our initial video meeting and right on time for the day of our wedding. She made us feel super comfortable and we are very happy with our wedding photos! We already received our wedding photos within just a few weeks and the site yellow paddle uses to be able to share photos with everyone is great. My only suggestion would be to be able to hide photos that you don’t want to be viewable to everyone when sharing the link…but they’d have to use a different photo sharing service. I would recommend this company 100%.

Stephanie was FANTASTIC. Especially as a first time bride you don’t want to be worrying about other people doing their jobs. You want someone who will lead and provide direction. We never met in person prior to the wedding and I was a bit nervous about how comfortable I’d feel in front of the camera but her warm and playful demeanor quickly dissolved my nervousness. Stephanie snagged the best shots that captured so much play, love, and joy. I loved that she sent me ALL the pictures. There’s so many I love that I would’ve lost out on if I were limited to a certain amount.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words to express just how unbelievable Mike and Christine are! We originally chose them because we were fortunate enough to have witnessed them at work. They were the most impressive photography/videography team we had ever seen, and we needed them for our wedding! Trust me when I say, they are even better than you can possibly imagine. From our initial meeting, all the way through the process of engagement photos and finally the wedding itself, they were incredible. They respond almost immediately with any questions you might have. They made sure that all of our requested photos were taken and made sure that we stayed as close to our timeline as possible. The teaser video and highlight videos that Mike created are truly magical. I am completely obsessed with them. He was able to capture footage of everything, without us even knowing he was there. Mike and Christine are true artists with the most unbelievable eye for detail. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I know that we would have been disappointed had we chosen anyone else.

Hey I'm Katie! "I promise that you’ll never find another like me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ohh. I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me…" (Admit it—you sang along, didn’t you?)

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

Bethany from Elevate (with the help of Emily) photographed our wedding in November 2024, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. As the bride, I really wanted the focus of our photos to be genuine, expressive moments that truly reflected what the day felt like—and WOW, they absolutely nailed it. The images are bursting with emotion, laughter, and love, capturing the energy and spirit of our celebration so beautifully. I’m a very expressive person (my face shows everything I’m feeling), and some of my favorite photos are the candid ones—pure joy on my face, my husband’s, our families’, and our guests’. Looking back through them takes me right back to that day, and I just can’t stop smiling. Bethany perfectly documented everything—from the vibe of the venue, to the ceremony, to sweet little moments between loved ones, to wedding party portraits. Every shot feels intentional yet natural. Even when we ran a little behind schedule, Bethany stayed calm, kind, and supportive—never once adding stress. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and totally present. Most of the time, I barely even noticed the camera. Bethany and Emily blended right in, capturing everything organically rather than staging or directing too much. It honestly felt like having two close friends there, cheering us on. I couldn’t have picked a better team to document such a meaningful day.

I am a Denver, CO based photographer with an inclination to travel. I am constantly inspired by new environments and experiences which I consider each wedding day to be. I've been in the wedding industry for 7+ years and no two wedding days have been the same and in my opinion, that's how it should be, as no two couple's story are the same. I picked up a camera at age 18 and just have yet to set it down at age 26. My aussie, Dixie, has been with me every step of the way and loves to travel herself. I am a hard core foodie and will try anything at least once (as will Dixie).

Madison is the absolute best! She captured my bridal and wedding photos and all of the pictures turned out amazing! I was pretty nervous for my bridal photos but she was really helpful with posing and making it not feel awkward and they turned out great! As for the wedding photos, I don’t think anything could top the pictures she took! She’s truly amazing at what she does! I am so glad I reached out to her for my wedding! The pictures all turned out perfect and she was also very organized throughout the planning process as well. She shares tips and things I likely wouldn’t have thought of leading up to the big day!

My photography style is a blend of bright, emotional, and colorful and my goal is to reveal the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Throughout your entire wedding day, I strive to encapsulate the essence of the moment in each frame. My journey has led me to incredible places and allowed me to meet wonderful people. I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about forging connections, capturing emotions, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.

At the end of the day we left thinking about what we had to remember the night... which is our photos. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of photographers, but when it came to my own wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted behind the lens— Shelly M Photography! Being on the other side of the wedding planning process, I had high expectations, and I can honestly say, Shelly exceeded them in every way. Here’s why I’m absolutely raving about her: 1️. Professionalism that Shines – From the moment we connected to the final shot of the night, she was a true professional. She handled the timeline, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made sure every special moment was captured without stress or disruption. 2️. Master at Navigating Family Dynamics – Weddings are full of diverse personalities and family dynamics, and Shelly handled it all like a pro. She made everyone feel comfortable, from the shyest guests to the most energetic ones, ensuring no one was left out and everyone looked great! This includes the difficult family 3. Affordable Quality – You don’t have to break the bank for quality. She delivers amazing photos at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. As someone who knows the wedding industry inside and out, I can tell you that Shelly M Photography offers exceptional value. I’ve worked with photographers who either cost a fortune or leave you feeling like something’s missing, but with Shelly, there was zero compromise on quality or experience. I’m so happy with the photos from my wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you're a bride, or another wedding pro looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make magic happen, Shelly is the one to book! From ceremony photos, couple portraits, details and dancing photos, I'm blown away.

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

We planned our wedding and then planned it again and then, thanks to COVID, planned it again. Katie was there through it all. She photographed our intimate, backyard ceremony and reception and then joined us again for a one year anniversary celebration. Despite our plans going awry and many adaptations, Katie always made us feel at ease and glamorous. She captured the beautiful moments and the hilarious moments -- tears during speeches, an impromptu dip on the dance floor, and Grandma doing tequila shots. We whole-heartedly recommend trusting CapturedbyKt to photograph your special moments.

We are so thankful to have found Jamie! We saw her in action at our friends' wedding and knew we wanted to work with her. From the beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, flexible, compassionate, and incredibly talented. We were blown away by our engagement shoot and even more so by our wedding gallery. Jamie has an eye for the little moments that might otherwise be missed. In the days following our wedding, friends and family commented on how at ease she made them feel. We concur! We wish her the best in Colorado, although are sad we won't be able to call upon her for family shoots in the future! Jamie is truly wonderful.
