Kate Merrill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Wheat Ridge, 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

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hi! My name is Jon Kohlwey and I'm a Colorado based photographer specializing in weddings and music. I'm originally from Wisconsin, but moved out to Colorado back in 2000. Before I found my passion in photography, I was working at Granby Ranch learning the ski and golf industry. I then spent two years working as a wedding coordinator for Granby Ranch. There is no wedding too far! When I'm not shooting weddings you can usually find me at a concert or show.

We were thrilled with Jonathan Kohlwey Photography for our wedding! Jon was extremely responsive and encouraging throughout the entire process, from our initial consultation to the big day. His upbeat attitude helped keep us calm and excited. The quality of Jon's work is simply impeccable - his photos are gorgeous, creative and fun. He has a true talent for capturing special moments. From our lively engagement shoot to our first look on our wedding day, Jon helped guide us through getting fantastic photos. His attention to detail and creative vision resulted in beautiful, timeless images that we will treasure forever. We'd highly recommend Jonathan Kohlwey Photography to any Colorado couple planning a wedding or special event!

Looking for the very best in affordable wedding photography in Colorado? Look no further! Yellow Paddle does the hard work of finding the most talented and personal wedding photographers in Colorado. Don’t just take our word for it: Our Reviews speak for themselves! 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. Be kind to your budget and still get amazing wedding photos.

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.

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.

From our initial introductory phone call, I was beyond impressed with Bethany at Elevate. She was so prepared and walked me through things even our wedding coordinator had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I had a couple questions that came up when ordering our album and McCory was quick to respond and unbelievably helpful. Elevate is just simply the best. Stop looking - hire Elevate now!

David was an absolute dream! He made our elopement feel like an extended date rather than a series of choppy photo sessions. He encouraged us to incorporate personal touches in our elopement that we didn’t even think of, and he was flexible enough to let me add in a few surprises for my husband the day of! I can’t stop showing people my photos and my family can’t stop asking me for more! Every photo we got was beautiful and looked like us (natural editing and personality wise) and we couldn’t recommend David more!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

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!

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.

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.

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 encourage my couples to push for what they want on their wedding day- whether that's a white dress on a golf course or something free from tradition. My own wedding was at our first date spot (a coffee/whiskey/donut shop), Carbon Coffee, Downtown Denver. It was incredibly meaningful and one of the best days of my life. I'd like to ensure my clients the same wonderful memories. *Discounts to active military and first responders!

We are so thankful to know Katie and have had the privilege of having her shoot our engagement session and wedding! We were supposed to get married in Mexico in 2020 and we were planning on flying her down for the wedding. When the wedding was cancelled due to COVID, she was so wonderful--she made sure that we knew that she was going to work with us for whenever we were able to reschedule. My husband is not one to feel comfortable behind the camera. However, Katie immediately made us both feel comfortable and gave us prompts that made the entire experience so much fun! We've definitely found our photographer life! As our family grows, I know she will be the one to capture every moment. Her photos speak for themselves--they are truly pieces of art!

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.

For many years I was a four-star chef. I got into photography to have creative control over the pictures of my food. One day I was working for a caterer at a wedding, and the photographer asked if I could fill in for his assistant. I thought why not, and I haven’t looked back since that fateful day when I traded in my knife for a camera. While I was a chef, I felt personally responsible for my customers’ happiness. I feel the same way about photographing your wedding. I want to create a unique personal experience for every bride and groom. I like to foster a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the shoots.

Patrick was our lead photographer. He was able to work with our associate photographer and videographer smoothly. Our ceremony changed because of rain causing the space to change and be much smaller. I was worried about how this would impact the photos. I’m so happy with how the photos came out and was able to see how Patrick got creative and maneuvered around to still get great shots! We had originally chosen him for his unique style of taking photos with different focuses and the very creative pictures. He did not disappoint. My favorite photos of the day were these uniquely set up photos. We had a few hiccups along the day with our venue but the calming voice of Patrick helped me feel better about our day. Our day was cold and he encouraged our friends and family he’d get the right photos quickly so they could go inside and warm up. I would definitely recommend him for your engagement or wedding photos.

What started as a passion project in Texas back in 2020 has led me to Golden, Colorado, where I continue to tell stories through my camera. I focus on blending timeless portraits with a documentary approach, capturing both beautifully posed moments and the raw, in-between emotions that make your story truly yours. My goal is to create images that reflect your authentic self, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Jenny was the perfect choice for our wedding photos! All communication with her was clear and professional. She took the time to understand our vision and worked closely with us throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Jenny was a delight to work with! She found the most incredible spots for us to take pictures and was patient and flexible, even when dealing with a few family complications. The final photos are absolutely stunning - beautifully captured and truly timeless. We are thrilled with the creative and thoughtful way Jenny documented our special day. We would highly recommend Jennifer Glenn Photography to any couple looking for wedding photographers.

I love to be outside, and combined with my passion for emotive imagery and getting to know your story, I adore what I get to do for my work. I focus on capturing the intimate, authentic moments of your story and weave them into a series that is casually joyfully you. With a background in travel and documentary photography, previously working in international non profit storytelling, my style speaks to those looking for the organic story with the greatest value being in experiences over things.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rose is not only such a great photographer, but also person! My (now) husband and I could not have imagined an easier day as Rose got along great with us and our families. Our photographs turned out beautifully and we cannot stop looking at them. Rose also was incredibly helpful when it came to planning for our day as well. Highly recommend!

Welcome, and thank you for visiting! My name is Brogan, the owner and operator behind the lens at Brogan Resch Photography. I am a destination wedding photographer that seeks to capture love stories of those who are madly in love! I am thrilled that you are here and I would be honored to capture your milestones!

Brogan is by far the most talented and professional photographer around!! She starts by helping you plan your day (timelines and details), and then works her magic on the day of your occasion. Her work is truly “picture perfect”. She’s so personable, that it’s hard to consider her as a vendor/service, she’s more like a friend. I highly recommend!!

Hi, I'm Liv! I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Evergreen, Colorado. From intimate National Park Elopements to dreamy storytelling weddings in small mountain towns, whether you're rock climbing, snowboarding, riding ATVs, soaring in a hot air balloon, or keeping it simple with a stunning mountain overlook, I'm here to capture it! I travel wherever your dream destination takes you, ensuring your elopement is as adventurous or intimate as you envision!

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!
