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.

There are simply just not enough words to describe how amazing and special it was to have Ayla as our photographer. We had a small, intimate wedding in Winter Park, Colorado and we truly could not have asked for a more thoughtful, talented, and kind person to capture our day. From the first time we spoke, Ayla has been so helpful and knowledgable, she helped guide us through the entire wedding process and helped make our planning experience truly stress-free. She took the time to scout ceremony locations for us, gave us a list of the most beautiful spots to check out during our trip (our guests couldn't stop talking about them), created timelines for us, gave us an extensive wedding guide that I looked at probably 100 times, and helped us with so much more. There was a storm that rolled in last minute on our wedding day and, morning-of, Ayla helped us replan our entire day to work out in the best way with the rain and it ended up being better than we could have ever imagined. Even with a super short notice that the wedding was moved up two hours, Ayla still found time to hunt down two clear umbrellas for us and picked up on the way to our location. She took immediate action and it felt like every concern was resolved before we could even begin to get stressed about them. We were able to focus on just enjoying the day and she really helped us embrace and find the excitement & beauty in a rainy wedding day. To this day, we still have our friends & family telling us how amazing Ayla was and how lucky we were to find her, and we couldn’t agree more. She made everyone feel so comfortable, both hanging with her and in front of the camera. She felt like a close friend celebrating with us more than a hired photographer. Most of our guests don’t like to be photographed, but because Ayla made everyone feel so natural, she was able to capture some really special & beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. All of our photos are a dream, she captured our day in such a special way and they’re better than we could have EVER imagined. Every tiny, intimate moment was caught so beautifully, looking at them makes us feel like we are right back in that moment. We are so so grateful and lucky that we found her, Ayla is such a special talent and was the very best addition to our big day, we can not recommend her enough!!

I love the beauty of nature, people, natural light, and raw emotion. Which is one of the things I am most proud of about the work I produce. I strive to capture the beauty of these things in my work each and every day. I started photography when I was in high school, and was instantly connected to the feeling of capturing memories that last forever. I have always been a creative mind, so finding a passion that makes me feel exactly where I am supposed to be is so rewarding.

Rachel is such a wonderful photographer and amazing person to work with. We combed through soooo many photographers to find someone whose photos were both well-shot and well-edited, and we could not be happier with our choice. She went above and beyond to take beautiful engagement photos of us in the cold, and then did an absolutely phenomenal job with photos at our wedding -- even finding a super close location nearby to get amazing photos of the two of us. She was fun and comfortable to work with, we love our photos even more than I thought could be possible, and I have no doubt she'll continue to do amazing work!

Well, I guess first would be to say, Hello! I’m Kirstin but most people call me Kirstie! I’m a photographer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado but will travel to wherever my clients need me to go. I’m married to my best friend; I am a mother to my beautiful baby boy named Bjorn. My passion is photographing adventurous elopements and intimate weddings! I adore capturing those real time moments and freezing that moment in time for my clients to cherish for generations to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kirstie has done a couples session, a (surprise!) engagement session and my wedding! With each time she was our photographer, she was better and better each time. She is a warm and amazing person and it shows through her work. She takes the time to get to know the couples and families she is photographing because she wants the essence of who they are to come through in their pictures. Family is important to her and she knows how important it is to capture the important moments but also the unexpected ones. My favorite pictures from her are always the pictures in between moments where I’m gazing at my husband or we’re laughing at us falling over each other. She knows how to make each moment shine. Kirstie is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with and would recommend her to anyone who asks.

Authentic, inclusive and FUN. Those are three words that describe my photography style and my ideal couples. I'm a laid back mid-west native, Colorado transplant photographer. I've shot 300+ guest weddings and intimate mountaintop elopements. Big or small, I've photographed and filmed it all and I'd love to join you on your new adventure <3

Seriously the best vendor of our entire wedding. We met her at a LGBTQ networking event and knew right away we wanted her to photograph our wedding. She not only got a lot of great photos of my partner and I but she got pictures of everything I could've possibly wanted. She got photos of the kids dancing at the reception and of my best friend setting up our guest book and of my in-laws meeting my extended family who flew in all the way from India. It was all the stuff I didn't get to see since I was so busy. She is really one of the best candid photographers I've seen and I am so glad we met her and so glad she was able to be part of our wedding.

Hi there! I'm Ally, a freelance photographer based out of Colorado Springs! I specialize in weddings and lifestyle but offer a variety of sessions.

You won’t catch me without a half read book or two, and I will be your hype girl for all your photo needs! I can’t wait to work with you!!

Ally was AMAZING. She was so helpful in planning everything. I don't think our elopement could have gone smoother. She even grabbed my husband shoes that we accidentally left in town like two hours away. 10/10. Plus just look at how well these pictures turned out, we will be enjoying them for the rest of our lives.

My name is Laura and I am a Canadian living in Colorado Springs. I have a passion for raw/real documentary style photography. I am a mama to Sunny Rose and I love slow mornings sipping lattes, gardening and travel. Photography has been a love of mine for many years. Growing up I couldn't put down the camera. I started out tinkering with my dads old film and it hooked me ever since. Now, I shoot with digital but always strive to have that film inspired look. I love the beauty of capturing a process- a moment between movements. The collision between love, people and nature is what makes me want to pursue photography.

Laura is absolutely incredible. She has a very creative eye to getting the most unique photos that reflect the personality of who she’s photographing! Not only is her photography style very natural, but also very intentional in the way she uses light and shapes surrounding us as the subjects. Laura is super easy going and made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our session.... that really reflected in the photos we received! I would highly recommend Laura to anyone I know who needs an engagement or wedding photographer.

My tiny gal inspired me and gave me a huge appreciation for my camera and my ability to document love in pretty places. When I'm not photographing your elopement or intimate wedding, I'm making my own memories with the loves of my life.

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.

George Street was fantastic! I got to hop on a video call with one of their coordinators and she was great. She let me ask all the questions and gave me all the information I needed. I picked my photographer, Taylor, based on her portfolio and I couldn't have been happier! Her personality was exactly what I was wanting and her photos turned out beautifully. The package we paid for came with SO MUCH and for such a good price. I was honestly skeptical that I was getting scammed and just prayed it was all as legit as it looked. It sure was! I paid a fraction of what some other recently married friends paid and got more photos back and other perks than they did from their photographers! We got an engagement session, a photo album, and EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. from our wedding day. There were over 5,000 photos sent back to us! Not to mention the use of a second shooter AND a videographer on the day of! We got a highlight version of our wedding day and a long version with every important moment. The quality was amazing!
