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!

She was so meticulous about executing the vision and on the day of it was exactly what we dreamed of. Anything you want, Amanda will be able to execute.

My name is Hanna, and I have been immersed in the event world since 2021. During the last 4 years of servicing the event and wedding space, I have learned the ins and outs on executing a smooth running and organized event. My promise to you for your wedding day is to ensure clear communication from start to finish, to always meet you with positivity and kindness, advocate for you, and ensure that you feel like a guest at your own wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Hanna was hands down one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. From our first meeting, she felt like a long-time friend, someone who was genuinely invested in making our wedding day as special and seamless as possible. She was responsive, thoughtful, open to ideas, and committed to bringing our vision to life and having fun while doing so! Hanna brought so much knowledge and insight into both the planning process and the day-of execution. Her expertise saved us from so much stress and often anticipated our needs or solved problems before we even knew they existed. We had two locations for our wedding day, and Hanna managed everything with absolute ease. When a slight hiccup happened, the bride (me) lost her phone the night before, which held most of the inspo and notes, she didn’t even flinch. She handled the day with such grace, professionalism, and calm that we were able to just enjoy every moment without stress. Hanna also made sure we always had food and drinks in hand, which meant so much to us, she even got us leftover boxes of food which we were extra grateful for the following day. I originally hesitated about hiring a month-of coordinator, but once we brought Hanna on, it was crystal clear we had made the right choice. Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without her. Hanna, thank you for being such a lovely human and such a talented coordinator. We are endlessly grateful for you!

Arvada, CO
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,250

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
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! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a photographer! Adding some pics below so you can see how great she is!

I am a wedding photographer passionate about capturing authentic love stories. I focus on creating images that reflect the true emotions, connections, and joy of your wedding day. My approach blends candid storytelling with timeless, elegant portraits, allowing couples to relive their day through images that feel both natural and artful. I strive to make the photography experience personal, joyful, and effortless, ensuring that every couple feels comfortable and celebrated in front of the camera.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Michelle as our wedding photographer and would recommend her to anyone! She is so talented, kind and professional and guided us so well before, during, and after the wedding to make sure that we ended up with photos that we will love and cherish for the rest of our days! Michelle was unflappable the day of the wedding and jumped in on photo ops that we had arranged withthe DJ, but had forgotten to tell Michelle. Michelle is able to capture the beauty of all of her subjects and I felt like every image was so flattering (which says a lot as someone who doesn't love to see pictures of herself)! You will not regret hiring Michelle for your wedding and other special moments!

Hey friend, I'm Natalie! I’m here to document the best day of your life in a way authentic to you! I’m inspired by the beauty of nature and the best of humanity. My goal is to give you memories you will never forget. I’m a storyteller and documentary styled photographer first. That means I capture your day in a way that feels like a movie you can watch every time you look back at your photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Natalie was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day more special than we had ever imagined. We really prioritized finding vendors who had experience working with queer couples, people of color, and disabled people - whose portfolios aligned with our values and our wedding party beyond simply stating “all are welcome” on their websites - and Natalie delivered. I have never been comfortable or felt like *myself* in front of the camera because of my flat affect and rigidity (I’m neurodivergent), so I was particularly anxious about having “good” photos from our wedding day. But Natalie’s warm demeanor immediately put my mind at ease, and I was blown away by how our engagement photoshoot went. Having (obviously) never planned a wedding before, my wife and I were a bit overwhelmed by all the decisions and coordination that go into making 100-person party go off without a hitch, but Natalie helped us put together a custom timeline that somehow fit in plenty of photos with our large, loud, blended families, and even an extra photoshoot for my parents! She communicated with all our vendors in advance and kept the entire day running on time. She helped button our dresses and clasp our jewelry, helped us stay present and enjoy each moment while offering direction when warranted. And the photos… Wow. The level of detail and composition of each photo is remarkable and immediately transports us back to our wedding day. We look (and felt!) like we were living in a fairytale. Natalie captured our personalities and relationship so well, from the intimacy of our first look and “golden hour” to lots of laughter with our closest friends. It’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to - of course! - and we couldn’t have done it without Natalie.

Christen worked with us to curate such a magical vibe for our special day and she has such a large song list to choose from! Their music style matched ours very well so it was easy to build a strong list of songs to keep the music flowing the whole time. They played beautifully and even though I did not have the pleasure of meeting them in person (it was a crazy day!) I have no regrets and would certainly hire them again.

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.

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!!

Making something sweet almost every day after school, she soon found herself creating cakes and desserts for family and friends. After hearing, "You should do this as a business!" and "I think you missed your calling" many times over, she finally decided to pursue her dream of baking as a full-time career in 2019 leaving her former career in Public Accounting. Her favorite designs are the crazy over-the-top cakes that make your guests do a double-take! From food realism and sculpted creations to simple and elegant styles, Nicole can do it all!

Nicole with Snarky Sweet Cake Chick is the bomb! I love her sweets and the quality and taste of her desserts as well as her customer care. I will continue to work with Nicole and refer her to my clients.

Blue Orchid Photography Videography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement photos and our wedding day. From our first interaction, her communication was excellent - she was open, available, and enthusiastic about helping us capture our special day. The quality of her work was truly thoughtful, creative, and unique, perfectly highlighting the most meaningful moments of our wedding. Stacy was a joy to work with, especially given the large size of our Greek wedding, with a lot of personalities to boot. She went above and beyond to ensure we had beautiful memories of every part of our day, and we are thrilled with the final photos, and we cannot wait for our video.

My photography journey began as a form of therapy during my recovery from addiction 10 years ago. It allowed me to channel my emotions and find solace in the beauty of the world around me. I was lucky to be able to turn my love of photography into a career in 2022. I love to capture the raw emotions and unique connections between couples on one of the best day's of their lives. I believe that love is a universal language that transcends boundaries, and through my lens, I aim to celebrate this love in breathtaking locations.

Maggie was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Her communication style was thorough and friendly, making the entire process seamless. Hiring a photographer who lives in a different place can be stressful, so it was nice to have someone who was easy to talk to and take care of all our needs. We had such an amazing time with Maggie, she thought about everything wich made everything way much more easy and smooth for us. I love the moments and the stories she captures on her photographs. Can’t wait to work with her again!

Texas raised & happily Denver living. My heart is kept full on a daily basis with the support of my husband, snuggles of our Vizsla (Levi) & kitten (Montana). I've worked as a professional photographer for over 7 years. I began my dream of becoming an entrepreneur over 5 years ago when I left my cushy desk job and started Catherine Lea Photography. Since then I've photographed over 125 weddings, and have loved every single one.

Catherine is an amazing photographer. You can tell she loves her job and really cares about her couples. Catherine makes sure they have a wonderful experience not only on wedding day, but throughout the planning process as well. As a fellow wedding vendor, it's so reassuring when you know you're working alongside someone who truly cares about her client, her job, and makes sure the wedding day flows smoothly. Definitely recommend hiring Catherine for your wedding, you won't regret it!
