Shell Creek Photography

  • Serves Paonia, CO

I have always loved the outdoors. You can find me hiking mountain passes, rock climbing, planning another trip to Mexico, nose buried in some travel guides, looking up cheap flights to Australia, or off on some crazy 3 week long road trip to the Canadian Rockies with my cousins. I will help guide you through the entire process of planning an amazing experience. You can trust me with your wedding day dreams & will give you my all in planning out every little detail for your elopement.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Malachi from Shellcreek Photo for our wedding, and we can’t recommend him enough! From the very first meet and greet, he was incredibly professional, taking the time to ask us about what we wanted for our wedding day. His dedication to capturing our wedding was exactly as we imagined was evident throughout the entire process. As someone who had never had professional photos taken before, I was quite nervous about being in front of the camera. However, Malachi put both me and my husband at ease throughout the day. His calm and reassuring presence made us feel so comfortable, and it felt like we were simply enjoying the moment rather than posing for photos. On top of that, Malachi has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for finding unique, off-grid locations that made our photos feel so special and personalized. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion shines through in every photo he takes. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and the beautiful photos we received!

  • Serves Paonia, CO

With my love for photography and growing up with such a large, rowdy family, it's no wonder I found my career in professional photography. Then marrying my goofball of a husband and having two hilarious and awesome kiddos, the importance of remembering every little moment has only grown as I experience each new adventure of my life. I get so much joy and gratification from the opportunity of providing such meaningful work to others-- I am so passionate about those intentional and authentic moments. And I like to have fun and laugh, too!

I came across Marlee by happenstance, and it was by far one of the best things to have happened! My husband and I eloped in November of 2023 and the photos that Marlee captured took our breath away. When we got the sneak peek sent to us, we were literally stopped in our tracks on our honeymoon where we analyzed the details of each and every single one. Completely and utterly in awe that we would have those memories in the form of THOSE gorgeous photos for the rest of our lives. Since then, she has captured the most important moments to us thus far that include our pregnancy announcement photos and maternity photos. Not only is her work absolutely breathtaking but she is just a phenomenal, down to earth, witty and beautiful human! My husband and I both aren't the biggest fans of being in front of the camera, but Marlee made us feel so incredibly comfortable right out of the gate. If you go with Marlee for whatever photos you need, you absolutely will not be disappointed!

My journey as a photographer started with taking photos of friends, old and new, at festivals. I fell in love with documenting the joyful energy at these events. Weddings and elopements remind me so much of those experiences- friends dancing together under the stars, laughter, speaking openly about love for one another, and truly enjoying life’s most meaningful moments. These days I draw a lot of my inspiration from the incredible mountain ranges all around me, but my biggest source of inspiration is my amazing clients and their connection with each other. That’s my story. Now I want to hear yours!

Lizzie is hands down one of the most talented photographers I have ever had the privilege of working with! She has such a magical eye for catching the most beautiful light and I swear as I look through our photos from that special day it looks straight our of a fairy tale. We traveled over 6 hours specifically so she could capture our day and I couldn't have been more thrilled and in utter awe of the final outcome. She was extremely professional and patient with us and she made sure to capture every tine detail so it will be in our hearts for ever. I highly recommend Lizzie Tiles Photography to anyone in the Colorado or surrounding area!

We are Joe & Rhonda Hendricks, the owners of Elope Telluride. We do it all here, from the photography to planning to location scouting. We’ve been married 13 years, and have a son named Austin! For 10 years, we worked hard to establish a wedding successful wedding photography business in Nashville, TN before moving to Colorado. It was here that we decided to shift our business from the stressful wedding industry, to adventure elopements! Joe combined his award-winning wedding photography, with his talent for landscapes… and mountain elopement photography fit like a glove.

I am a wedding officiant and have had the pleasure of working with Rhonda and Joe from Elope Telluride on many weddings for over two years. They are hands down my favorite wedding planners/elopement specialists to work with. I always look forward to their bookings because they are such a joy to work with and for. Joe and Rhonda are both highly organized, creative and kind. Joe's photography speaks for itself, true art. He captures not only the big moments but the subtle moments, the grin of a child, the pride in a father's eyes, the glow of the bride and the awe seen in the face of the groom. They put couples and guests at ease and the ceremonies are peaceful, beautiful and exquisite. They clearly love what they do.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

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.

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.

Amazing lives up to her name. If pictures aren't important to you, go with any photographer. If pictures are important to you, go with Amazing. She was so professional, but fun and attentive. I hardly noticed she was there, and she got every shot I could ask for plus more! We were all so at ease around her. It made photo times go smoothly and easily. We had a pretty low photography budget originally, but the photographers in our range were not living up to our vision. We decided to adjust our budget and that's how we found Amazing. And let me tell you, she is worth every penny. Our friends and family love our photos. We are told regularly that our PHOTOS are beautiful (because there are), not just that we looked beautiful/handsome or that it was a lovely day and a lovely wedding. I really notice the variety of compliments we have received on the photos themselves, not just on us. There is also a noticeable difference in the quality of our photos versus some of the other weddings we have been in recently. Our photos have a crispness and everyone looks perfect in every shot. I don't know how she does it. I cannot express enough how happy I am with our photos. They are absolutely sublime. Thank you, a million times over, Amazing!

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Hello Rad People, My Name is Taylor, I am based out of Golden, Colorado. I am a huge animal lover. We have 2 dogs ,2 cats. Plus, Carl our bearded dragon. So, please bring all the animals to your session or event! I have always loved nature and the outdoors. We do a lot of hiking and camping in the beautiful Mountains. My passion for photography started at a young age, I started doing film Photography and developing my own photos before I even picked up a digital camera. I never thought that my love for photography would turn into my career, where I get to photograph people in love in the places they love. Now let’s get Wild!

Awarded Best of Zola
So first off, the first things I asked her were; are you LGBT friendly, can you handle my anxiety, and can you photograph fat people?? Her answer was yes to all....and she exceeded my expectations. I do not talk much nor do I speak my mind ever, but I felt immediately comfortable with Taylor the second I saw her. Prior to that actually because we had texted a lot. She’s very hands-on. I booked her almost a year ago it feels like, but because of covid and other things out of our control we had to reschedule multiple times. Taylor was SO accommodating every single time. She never seemed bothered by us even though I guarantee she had to be. We are a hot mess! We changed the location multiple times, including TWO DAYS before the ceremony, I was late to my own elopement and on the way there my daughter spilled make up all over her clothes so we had to turn around for an outfit change!! Taylor was so kind and friendly. We told her in the beginning that mine and my wife’s height difference was an insecurity of ours and she made the angles work to where we didn’t look that far off at all. I’m telling you this, I have never been confident at all, I have never even liked the pictures other photographers have taken of me.....I cried when I saw Taylor’s pictures. I felt so beautiful and worthy of good photos!! I HIGHLY recommend her and will forever cherish everything she’s done. I was so uneasy about picking a photographer, it was so stressful because I’m from out of state and I knew nothing about Colorado or anything. I’m blessed to have found Taylor, she gave me everything I wanted and more!! Every single time I travel back to CO I will always have he take our photos!! Thank you so much for giving us this Taylor, we appreciate you more than you know!!

Katie is absolutely incredible in every way. She captured all of the moments from our wedding day in such a beautiful way. She communicates promptly and is so incredibly kind. She even helped getting the dance floor going by teaching my family the Wobble (one of my favorite memories). I would highly recommend Katie to everyone I know and look forward to booking her in the future to capture more memories. Thank you so much Katie!!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!
