Tomi was truly a highlight of our wedding day, 100% recommend! From our very first meeting, we knew he was the perfect fit and was someone who would not only capture our day beautifully but have an incredible amount of fun doing it. He was always quick to respond, offered helpful insight from his extensive wedding experience, and consistently gave us peace of mind throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Tomi was flexible, attentive, and so in tune with everything happening around us. He made sure every meaningful and playful moment was captured, and he somehow made even the posed photos feel natural and fun. And the photos, absolutely stunning! His talent is undeniable, and we are forever grateful for the way he documented our day with such care. Tomi brought laughter, kindness, and genuine joy to our wedding. We cannot recommend him enough. The photos will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Tomi, for being such an incredible part of our day.

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.

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!

Hi there! The name’s Ali. But I also go by: you’re cheerleader, hopeless romantic, and your bestie throughout the wedding process. 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. The first look. First kiss. First dance. But more importantly, I want to capture how you felt. I don’t want to just take nice photos. 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!

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola!

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 ;)

“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
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! Nick has a keen eye captures moments that convey the emotion that was felt as it was happening. He is calm, resourceful and incredibly professional. 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!

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.

Abby was absolutely phenomenal and we have only great things to say about her. We love her bright and sunny editing style, and on top of that she is friendly and professional- all highlights of working with her. She communicated well and she's clearly very committed to helping make your wedding day go smoothly- she even shares a worksheet that has several sample wedding day timelines, and a guide to planning the day of the wedding (these were lifesavers). There is enough to worry about with the entire process of planning a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry at all about anything photography related because Abby was so on top of things. On wedding day itself, Abby seamlessly joined the party and as a result, got so many great shots of our ceremony, and candids of our family and friends that really capture the joy and love that we felt on our wedding day. I keep getting SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding pictures came out, and how you can truly feel the fun through those pictures. We cannot emphasize enough how much we love Abby!! We whole heartedly recommend her.

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.

Be Boulder Photography

Boulder, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • 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.
