From our very first conversation with Alex, we felt completely comfortable and confident that we were in good hands (and we were absolutely right)! He helped make our wedding day perfect! Alex was incredibly professional, flexible when we had to adjust arrival times due to weather for our outdoor mountain ceremony, and he handled everything with ease. His talent shines through in every shot. He was efficient, thorough, and captured every moment with such artistry and perfection. The photographs are absolutely stunning, and we will treasure them forever. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Alex is a must-hire!

Boulder, CO
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,495

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jeff was super easy to work with, we just had a few video calls before the big day. During our wedding he and his team captured the full ceremony and reception videos as we'd asked, including all the details and kind words that friends had for us. I was really happy with the final product and thought it was documentary worthy to share with relatives overseas who couldnt make it in person.

We felt so comfortable around him which made everything that much easier and our photos feel much more like us. We can't recommend him enough if you're looking for a Boulder wedding photographer or any where in Colorado really.

Charlotte Croy is a Colorado and Rhode Island based wedding photographer specializing in timeless, light filled imagery with a documentary edge. Her work balances natural emotion with intentional composition, creating photographs that feel elevated yet authentic. From the Rocky Mountains to the New England coast, her approach remains the same: relaxed, thoughtful, and centered on the couple.

Working with Charlotte for our engagement shoot was such an amazing experience. From the moment we booked, she made everything feel organized and stress free. She helped us choose a location that felt meaningful to us and gave great guidance on outfits without making it overwhelming. During the session, she created such a relaxed atmosphere. We never felt stiff or overly posed. She guided us when we needed it but also gave us space to just be ourselves, which made the photos feel authentic and full of personality. When we received our gallery, we were honestly speechless. The images felt warm, romantic, and true to us. She captured the big smiles and the quiet, intimate moments in between. We are even more excited for our wedding knowing we have Charlotte behind the camera.

“There is one thing the photography must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough – there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.” – Robert Frank

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so happy we hired them to capture the most magical day of our lives. Nick and his team were beyond comparable to anyone else. They captured everything we wanted, without being overbearing. They kept their distance when needed, they took control when needed, they had a great schedule set yet it didn't feel rigid. It was so fun and comfortable hanging with them all day. I cannot say enough good things about them. They also had a cool, new and modern photo booth that we added that everyone loved. Nick went above and beyond throughout this entire process and the amount of work and effort he puts in to this is worth every penny. Do not look anywhere else, you found your photographer in Nick.

Abby Shepard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Boulder, CO
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,900

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!

Boulder, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I'm a photographer with more than 20 years of professional experience photographing the nuptials of couples all over Colorado. I used to shoot all types of weddings, big and small, but have lately been focusing on elopements and micro weddings as I love the intimacy that these sorts of events engender. I am available for a limited number of micro weddings and elopements each year.

From the moment we first spoke with Julie, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Julie has a wonderfully calm, humorous, and easygoing communication style that instantly put us at ease and calmed our nerves on the big day. Her work is extraordinary with a natural documentary style that captured all the small moments and emotions as well as all of the key events from our wedding. The finished product brought tears to our eyes - Julie has such an incredible eye for detail and is a true talent at telling a story through her photographs. Julie also has such a remarkable bedside manner and mixes so well with everyone. Her presence was both soothing and fun, and she was even able to calm down my mother who was a bit of a wreck emotionally that day. With Julie, you're hiring not just an exceptional photographic talent but also an amazing person who will only add to and increase the joy and beauty of your big day. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I'm a Boulder wedding photographer with a passion for documenting your day as it happened and highlighting the people and relationships you value most. I'd love to spend time exploring and capturing the moments that tell the story of you.

Jonathan is an exceptional photographer and excellent with communication. I knew right away I wanted photos that captured the "real life" moment and the essence of our zoom (online) wedding day, in addition to a few traditional posed photos and scenic ones. People who see the photos say, "I feel like I'm there just by seeing these!" After the ceremony, we took beautiful photos at Chautauqua Park. Jonathan is professional, kind, easy going, adaptable, affordable, and we received hundreds of photos in high-resolution and web-resolution. You can work with him in advance (planning, pose preferences, location) as little or as much as you want.

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.

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 a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding. Capturing the real love of my couples is what's most important to me. I love working with couples to create images that represent their authentic and raw adoration for one another. Outside of your big day, I love tagging along with both of you on a date to the white mountains or even just drinking hot coffee and laughing on cold winter days. I am passionate about capturing a real & unrestrained version of my clients.

Hey there, I'm Tatiana! I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, though I love to travel all over for my clients. I'm a lover of animals, tattoos, writing, and all things fantasy, especially The Lord of The Rings.

I am also the biggest The Airborne Toxic Event fan and there's a pretty good chance they're who I'm rocking out to on my way to your wedding.
