  • Serves Boulder, 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.

Hi new friend, I’m Elora! Photography is so much more than snapping pretty photos to me. It is about the adventure we share and the memories we create along the way. One day we might be hiking up a mountain for those epic views and another we might be chasing the laughter and little in-between moments that make your story yours. I want you to look back years from now and feel every bit of it all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Elora Danen Photography is one of the BEST photographers we have ever worked with! She and her team were able to make our wedding dreams come true by capturing the beauty of our wedding at the Venue at Crooked Willow Farms in Larkspur, CO. Even with a cloudy and windy day against the mountains, her and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the process. ALL of the photos turned out beautifully and encapsulated all of the love and emotions that we shared that day. I could not recommend this photographer enough!

My photography style is a blend of bright, emotional, and colorful and my goal is to reveal the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Throughout your entire wedding day, I strive to encapsulate the essence of the moment in each frame. My journey has led me to incredible places and allowed me to meet wonderful people.

Awarded Best of Zola
At the end of the day we left thinking about what we had to remember the night... which is our photos. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of photographers, but when it came to my own wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted behind the lens— Shelly M Photography! Being on the other side of the wedding planning process, I had high expectations, and I can honestly say, Shelly exceeded them in every way. Here’s why I’m absolutely raving about her: 1️. Professionalism that Shines – From the moment we connected to the final shot of the night, she was a true professional. She handled the timeline, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made sure every special moment was captured without stress or disruption. 2️. Master at Navigating Family Dynamics – Weddings are full of diverse personalities and family dynamics, and Shelly handled it all like a pro. She made everyone feel comfortable, from the shyest guests to the most energetic ones, ensuring no one was left out and everyone looked great! This includes the difficult family 3. Affordable Quality – You don’t have to break the bank for quality. She delivers amazing photos at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. As someone who knows the wedding industry inside and out, I can tell you that Shelly M Photography offers exceptional value. I’ve worked with photographers who either cost a fortune or leave you feeling like something’s missing, but with Shelly, there was zero compromise on quality or experience. I’m so happy with the photos from my wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you're a bride, or another wedding pro looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make magic happen, Shelly is the one to book! From ceremony photos, couple portraits, details and dancing photos, I'm blown away.

We found Tomi through a Facebook group and from the very first post I saw, I was immediately impressed and knew I wanted him as our wedding photographer. From the beginning, Tomi showed us just how special our experience would be—not only through his talent, but through his incredible personality and genuine care. He took the time to speak with us multiple times leading up to our wedding, making sure our personalities, expectations, and vision all aligned beautifully. That level of intention meant everything to us. The final product absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we receive nonstop compliments—several people have even told us our wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine.

Hey there! I'm Clyde, a local wedding and elopement photographer, born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. When I was younger, I always thought landscape photography would be my passion, but after shooting my first wedding I was hooked for life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Clyde was flexible with his time before and during our wedding, really taking time to get to know us. We didn't have a wedding planner, and had a non-traditional seated ceremony in the round. Clyde asked lots of questions we hadn't thought of...our conversations with him ended up helping us take better advantage of our venue (hilltop meadow lakefront pavilion) than we would have without him. By the time our wedding weekend arrived, he felt like a trusted friend, which was important to us since it was an intimate affair. He captured the freewheeling joy that came with our mountain campsite celebration so well, we often pull up our favorite shots and they take us right back to not just what happened, but how it felt. Can't say enough good things about Clyde, total pro and wonderful human!

I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond. Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts.

I want to build you a time capsule, so when you look back at your wedding photos years down the line you can remember every laugh, tear and kiss.

Ali was wonderful from start to finish. She was very comprehensive and helped extensively with our permitting issues (due to my large group of people) which we are forever grateful for. My friend was sitting next to me during my meeting with her before the wedding and she was also very impressed by her thoughtful questions. She handled my family dynamics well on the wedding day and helped keep everyone calm and organized. 10/10 would recommend and I am so excited to see the photos. Thanks Ali!

Words cannot describe how grateful we are that Nick Benson was our wedding photographer. I had been following his photos for a few years and could not wait for the day that you would be our wedding photographer. From the very beginning we knew we had made the right decision, so much so that we had referred him to my sister before he even did our photos! Our engagement shoot was perfect, he worked with us to make us comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture the best photos despite difficult weather, wind and people passing by. Our wedding day was no different. He was not even phased by the rain and still managed to capture some amazing photos!

His passion for photography as well as his connection to his clients makes him an amazing photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I specialize in capturing real moments with bright, bold, natural images. My goal is to help make your wedding day the best it can be and ensure that you have a meaningful, memorable, FUN wedding day to start a lifelong adventure. Being a wedding photographer is the best job ever, but when I'm not working, you can usually find me outside doing something like hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling, or taking landscape photos.

We are so thrilled with Abby’s work-where to even begin? We wanted a photographer who would capture and honor the beauty of the place and people at our wedding and Abby did just. Our photos are stunning-naturally lit, bright, colorful, and perfectly capturing the love, fun, joy, ritual, setting, and emotion of the day. We cried happy tears looking through them and reliving the whole day. The candid photos are so joyful and the posed photos look lively and warm-there’s nothing stiff about them. Abby herself is incredibly capable-I didn’t realize until the day how many moving pieces/people there are to keep track of and respond to. Abby did it all with positivity, humor, and kindness. She organized individuals, couples, and groups quickly and efficiently. She never seemed frazzled or overwhelmed (even in the middle of the hora!). And she was inconspicuous and discreet during the ceremony-I forgot she was there but she captured the most beautiful moments! We have heard time and again from our friends and family that the photos really capture us and our guests-we’re so grateful, Abby! Thank you!

Her relaxed and fun-loving personality immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident she would capture the essence of our special day. True to our instincts, the photos she delivered were absolutely stunning - beautifully emotive, candid, and timeless. Julie was a joy to work with, expertly directing the group to ensure we got all the shots we wanted before the gorgeous sunset faded.

  • Starts at $1,800

For me, photography was a happy accident: I stumbled into it 15 years ago when I worked as the art director of SKI Magazine, and budget cuts dictated we take on more work in-house. Something about it flipped a switch for me, and I eventually started to think more about photography than I did about design. I practiced all the time, taking photos of my family at home, and then of friends' families too. I found so much beauty in capturing moments—an open-mouthed laugh, a playful handhold, a knowing look between a husband and wife—that otherwise would be lost amidst the chaos of life.

Be Boulder never ceases to amaze me with how natural and comfortable her shoots/sessions are. She really makes the client feel their best and truly captures the images they will love for years to come! The photos are effortlessly candid and portray the meaningful moments of the day.

Megan's journey began in a college darkroom, where she discovered photography as a tool for connection and meaning. A RISD graduate with over a decade of experience in editorial, commercial, and wedding photography, she's worked globally with mission-driven brands. Her entrance into weddings was serendipitous—stepping in for a friend's canceled photographer revealed a natural skill for helping people feel seen. Now weddings are where her skills converge: editorial eye, documentary approach, and quiet attunement to emotional undercurrents. To Megan, it's not just how a day looks; it's how it feels.

Her ability to make us feel completely at ease resulted in the most natural, stunning photos we could have ever imagined. She truly captured the playful energy of our day, exactly what we had hoped for. Every photo feels so alive, full of joy, and perfectly us.
