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.

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

Santana was AMAZING! Professional in communication before the wedding to make sure he understood all the shots we needed, showed up early on the day of the wedding to check out the location and pick the perfect spot for our reveal. Even when a groomsmen went missing, he helped us problem solve the pics that could be taken and took extra time after the wedding to get all our wedding party photographed. He went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. Plus he did an AMAZING job making our diverse wedding party look their best in the finished pictures. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Bethany with Elevate was an absolute blast to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. Our initial meeting was so warm and inviting at the Elevate studio. She was so great with us getting to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera. She was sure to make every little detail seem big and important. We had a great call a couple weeks before the wedding day to nail down everything we wanted to capture. And once we got to the big day, she went above and beyond for us continuously.

Ashlyn and Brandon were lovely to work with for our wedding photos. We had an engagement session with them a few weeks before the wedding and Ashlyn was extremely helpful with posings and different locations, especially since my partner and I are not very good at figuring that stuff out. At the wedding she and Brandon were both very good at corralling family members and ensuring that we got all of the shots we wanted as well as some we didn't know we wanted. We got a first look at some select photos about 2 weeks after the wedding and had all of our photos about a month later. All in all, working with Ashlyn was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

My goal as a photographer is to not only authentically capture your story in a natural way but to also create fine art; that you will cherish and treasure for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Was initially a little intimidated about choosing a wedding photographer. I think wedding photography across the board is gorgeous, but I knew I wanted someone who understood my vision of vibrant color, playful portraits, and capturing the details my husband and I had so carefully picked. Came across Nicole on a Facebook ad-- not remotely expecting to find a vendor that way. I couldn't stop looking at the photos and reached out to her right away. We had so many great vendors at our November 2023 wedding, but Nicole was on the tippy top of that list in terms of communication, professionalism, time management, energy, and willingness to hear our input. It's been months, but I find myself getting sucked into new photos all the time-- there's that many great shots! One of my bridesmaids is also a wedding photographer, so I asked for her input in hiring Nicole and she was very impressed with her portfolio, her pricing, etc.

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a witness and documenter of truth. I've specialized in Wedding & Portrait Photography for the last 10 years and am grateful to call in my full time career. I’ve been blessed with photographing over 180 weddings and it is truly the biggest honor to witness a wedding day and freeze it in time. In my free time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with family, friends, and cats. I love adventuring with my husband and feel most at home being outdoors exploring new places.

I don’t think works can describe how instrumental Kimberly was to making our wedding planning and wedding day memorable. From our first phone call we instantly knew we found the right person. Our engagement pictures turned out better than we imagined and my boudoir shoot was the most empowering experience ever!! We both never take pictures so had anticipated this process to be uncomfortable, but had the complete opposite experience. She is now stuck with us for every major milestone! Not only did we have fun but truly felt that our personalities were captured and the joy she captured was palpable. This was the best investment we made to fully capture such a memorable!! Our guests also had nothing but positive things to say and echoed our sentiments on how enjoyable she made our day!

I'd like to ensure my clients the same wonderful memories. *Discounts to active military and first responders!

Shelly is a luxury award-winning wedding photographer who has photographed events all over the country and internationally. She focuses on the details, emotions, and the environment on the wedding day. Shelly's theory is; "the flowers will wilt, the invitations will be thrown away, and the cake will be eaten.....but the photographs will be how you remember and are brought back to that day. Photographs evoke an emotion in your when you look back on them. When you see a photo of your maid of honor laughing during the speech, or your parents tearing up during the vows....you will remember exactly how you felt that day."

We were thrilled with Shelly Anderson Photography for capturing our wedding day memories! Shelly and her team were a dream to work with - prompt, easy, and detailed communication made planning a breeze. On the big day, Shelly focused on capturing genuine moments, from our emotional first look to little details that embodied the joy and love we felt. The photos turned out beautifully, with Shelly's amazing talent for composition and lighting taking our breath away. She guided us at the right moments but also let real memories unfold. Most of all, Shelly and team made us feel comfortable being ourselves. Their caring professionalism shines through in their work and interactions.

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it!

Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!

I love telling wedding stories, first and foremost, through capturing moments. Your wedding is a one of a kind event from the location to your style and personalities, but it also includes a unique group of people that have come together to celebrate your union. On your wedding day I focus on capturing the love and laughter, the tears and joy, but also the energy of the party! When it's over I give you a gallery of images that will bring all those emotions back every time you pull them up on your computer, share them online, crack open your album, or walk past them on your wall.

If you are looking for a photographer that is a true master of his craft as well as an all-around great person, look no further. Matt Wilson is in my opinion, one of the best wedding photographers out there! From the very first time we talked to Matt, we could tell how easy it was going to be working with him throughout our wedding weekend. Taking one look at his past work also made us feel confident in his approach - a wonderfully raw, moody and emotive narrative of our wedding day (unlike a bunch of posed pictures, although he did those too thanks to our parents ;)) His calm, attentive and composed demeanor, practical advice on what can/cannot be accomplished, ability to deal with last minute changes, and overall artistic vision resulted in the end product (our final pictures) being better than we could have ever imagined! Throughout the weekend, he was ever present but never obtrusive, and somehow managed to capture the most candid as well as the most important moments effortlessly. Even after the wedding, he made sure to devote time helping us pick the best pictures (an impossible task considering each one was worthy of its own frame) and patiently complied them into a beautiful album. Looking back, hiring Matt was the best decision we made. Thanks to his skill and dedication to his craft, we now have memories that we will cherish for a lifetime! Highly recommend you trusting him and his term with your big celebrations!!

We cannot recommend Marcela enough!! She was our photographer and event planner extraordinaire for our elopement in Colorado in August this year after Covid delayed our original wedding plans. I never thought I wanted to elope as I thought it would be settling in some way but now I can't recommend it enough. We have the best most perfect day ever and it was in large part thanks to Marcela!! She helped us to find the perfect location and was totally game to get up in the middle of the night and hike up a mountain with us when we wanted to do a hiking elopement. She also worked with us to come up with an alternate plan when the weather on our original day was less than ideal. She had everything organized for us, made the day go smoothly and was wonderful to hang out with, keeping us relaxed and having fun while also being the ultimate hype woman. We are IN LOVE with our photos, they are just incredible. I have looked at them a million times since she sent them through and they are just perfect. She helped us capture such stunning, natural memories of the day and our friends and family are also blown away by them. I cannot recommend Marcela enough to anyone looking for a photographer. I also highly recommend you book at least 8 hours. We didn't think we needed it and weren't sure what we were going to do for all that time but followed her advice and I am so glad we did. The day just flew by and I think any less time and we would have felt so rushed. Absolutely book her, you won't regret it!!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, but willing to travel anywhere with no travel fees in 2024! My style is very candid and photojournalistic. I aim to capture your day as it TRULY is. I'm there to document the big moments such as your first kiss and your vows, but also the little moments, like the way you two hold each other, or a glance from a family member that you don't get to see. I hope you look back on your photos and see things that you remember, but also get to see moments you might have missed.

I loved working with Hayley. As an Officiant, I know the importance of making a couple feel comfortable and heard. Hayley does just that for and with her couples. She is always willing to do whatever she can to get that perfect shot and be sure her couple is happy. It is an pleasure to work with her and I am always excited to see her wedding day photos.

Photography is my passion and my business. I started on my photography journey in high school using a film camera which quickly grew into a love for the art of capturing important moments in life. My wedding photography business began in Colorado and I have had the opportunity to shoot in locations like Maui, Charleston and Cape Fear.

Lauren of LP Wedding Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Her open, kind, and humorous communication style made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. As a true master of her craft, Lauren has an exceptional eye for capturing emotional moments with grace and skill. She was flexible and fun during our portrait sessions, guiding us while still ensuring we got the photos we envisioned. Lauren's time management was impeccable despite my lack of such. When asked on a vendor survey if they were our favorite, we said no, it was Lauren - her passion, creativity, and professionalism shone through to deliver incredible photos we will treasure forever.

I’ve been a photographer for almost a decade. I married the love of my life, Ben and we have an unhealthy obsession with our pup, Avery. I love this job with everything in me. I've worked incredibly hard to learn how to connect with my couples. I’ve found through the years that the more comfortable I can make my couples, the better the photographs. It’s taken years to build up the ‘posing’ banks in my head, learning how to manage timelines, different vendors and strict timelines, all while still delivering amazing galleries. When I'm not working, you can find us at a local brewery, finding the best sushi, or booking our next trip to Mexico!

We first stumbled across Ashlee Crowden on Instagram and were instantly in love with her aesthetic. It's real, playful, sexy and moody all at the same time. As venue owners and a newlywed couple, we have worked with Ashlee in many capacities. She has shot several weddings at Juniper Mountain House, including at our own! An LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, we felt like she captured our love so flawlessly. Almost two years later, our family and friends still talk about how good our photos are, a true testament to the timelessness of her photography. One of the things that surprised me most about working with her was how good she was at posing us! She made us feel really comfortable, even bringing music to the engagement shoot to get us warmed up. From a vendor perspective she is a dream to work with. I can't say enough good things about working with Ashlee - she's professional, kind, her photos are amazing, and she'll capture every moment you want to see from your engagement or wedding. Hire her now - I promise you will not regret it!

My mission is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment for you so that I can capture candid, real-life moments on film. Just follow my lead and I will do the rest! Photography is my passion, and I want to share that experience with as many people as possible. I believe that everyone deserves to have beautiful photos of their family and loved ones.

Working with Michelle was one of the highlights of our wedding day. We were forced to cancel our contract with the first photography company we selected due to their non delivery of services. Michelle jumped in only three months out from our wedding and immediately made us feel confident that our wedding photography would capture the kind of day we were hoping to create! Michelle met with us several times prior to our wedding to make sure we were on the same page. She was responsive and professional throughout our time working together. On our wedding day, Michelle walked us and our family and friends through our poses - each of which were creative and true to the vision we had previously discussed. She also provided some sneak peeks within 24 hours of our event which was a welcome surprise! Overall, working with Matriarch Photography was a joy and money very well spent.

I was introduced to photography as a Sophomore in High School and immediately found myself winning state-wide competitions, which only drove me to love photography even more. I knew I wanted to make photography my full-time gig ever since then. In February of 2006 I rented a booth at a bridal festival with photos of my daughter and my dog as my portfolio. I asked EVERY person that walked by my booth to take a chance on me because I knew it was my destiny... I booked 14 weddings from that festival and never looked back!

Alison Rose Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation, Alison was efficient, kind, and thorough in understanding our vision and needs. On the day of, she was a calming presence and blended seamlessly into the festivities, capturing all the special moments with a keen eye. The final photos were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations, with a very fast turnaround time. We couldn't be happier with the value Alison provided and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a skilled, professional, and personable wedding photographer. Very happy with our experience with Alison Rose Photography!
