Colleen's Captures 
Rating: 4.8 (6 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Carbondale, CO
  • Offer

I help couples by offering them irreplaceable photographs. I do this by providing it in a way that adds value by creating natural, genuine, and memorable filled images. I excel at making your session, not just a shoot but a memory to take home with you. Capturing the raw moments and combining my knowledge of the arts, I create a unique art composition filled with deep emotion.

As a wedding DJ, I work with a lot of photographers, and Colleen’s Captures is so lovely. Her editorial documentary style captures real moments while still delivering high-end, magazine-quality images. She’s professional, communicative, and keeps the day running smoothly alongside other vendors. Her editorial pop studio (luxury photobooth) is always a hit and adds a unique, elevated experience for guests. Highly recommend for couples looking for a Colorado wedding photographer offering both photo and video packages.

I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

Ali Cushing Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (33 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Carbondale, CO

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

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.

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.

Bethany from Elevate (with the help of Emily) photographed our wedding in November 2024, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. As the bride, I really wanted the focus of our photos to be genuine, expressive moments that truly reflected what the day felt like—and WOW, they absolutely nailed it. The images are bursting with emotion, laughter, and love, capturing the energy and spirit of our celebration so beautifully. I’m a very expressive person (my face shows everything I’m feeling), and some of my favorite photos are the candid ones—pure joy on my face, my husband’s, our families’, and our guests’. Looking back through them takes me right back to that day, and I just can’t stop smiling. Bethany perfectly documented everything—from the vibe of the venue, to the ceremony, to sweet little moments between loved ones, to wedding party portraits. Every shot feels intentional yet natural. Even when we ran a little behind schedule, Bethany stayed calm, kind, and supportive—never once adding stress. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and totally present. Most of the time, I barely even noticed the camera. Bethany and Emily blended right in, capturing everything organically rather than staging or directing too much. It honestly felt like having two close friends there, cheering us on. I couldn’t have picked a better team to document such a meaningful day.

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.

With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Emberlight Media has been preserving memories for all of life’s precious major events since 1999. Our work has been featured at venues, on several websites and in numerous national and international magazines.

We truly could not have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day! From the moment we began working with them, they made us feel so comfortable and supported. Their warmth, professionalism, and creativity stood out from the very beginning. One of my absolute favorite parts of the day was our first look, and it was largely because of how calm and guided we felt. It was such a special and emotional moment that turned into one of the most fun parts of the whole day—thanks to their gentle direction and positive energy. Throughout the entire wedding, they struck the perfect balance between keeping things on track and allowing space for our ideas and spontaneity. When I asked if we could sneak away for sunset photos on the deck, they were all in—and those shots ended up being some of our favorites. Despite our large and enthusiastic families constantly asking for “just one more photo,” they handled everything with such grace and kindness. So many of our guests commented on how calm, patient, and lovely the team was to work with. We already love the photos they’ve shown us so far and truly can’t wait to see the full gallery and our wedding video. We’re so thankful we chose them and will be recommending them to everyone we know!

Hi, I'm Angie. I'm a wedding and documentary photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I've been capturing authentic human connections and emotions since 2018. I get to meet wonderful people, travel to the most beautiful places, and document love in its rawest form. What's better than that?!

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Angela after looking through several Colorado photographers. As a photographer herself, my wife noticed small but impactful missing elements with other photographers so she was quite picky about choosing someone who was mindful and cared to produce quality edits, not just stamp a filter on our pictures. And I wanted someone kind, organized, and affordable. Well, Angela was perfect for us. She’s so sweet! She has great systems in place to make payments, downloads, and getting information a breeze. She’s flexible and prompt. And she gives great directions to produce beautiful photos. We absolutely, 100% recommend her for your wedding, elopement, boudoir shoot, or whatever other photography need you have!

On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

We absolutely loved working with Tooney from our engagement shoot all the way to our wedding day. She was so nice, incredibly friendly, and truly one of the easiest photographers to work with. She made us feel comfortable the entire time, and the photos came out even better than we expected. We’re obsessed with how everything turned out! We 100% recommend Tooney — she’s amazing at what she does, and we would hire her again anytime we need a photographer.

My approach is a more natural and laid-back journalistic style. I am fun, down-to-earth, and creative. My easy-going personality helps create an environment where you can relax and be yourselves - and have fun! I excel at capturing the scenery and feel of your location while still showcasing you and your personalities. I bring over 21 years of wedding experience into my work so I have the skills needed to do an amazing job in any location. I am very keen to provide outstanding service during the whole process and to make my contribution to your wedding day a memorable one.

I cannot say enough good things about this photographer!! I found his site while searching for a photographer in the NOCO area to take some "couples photos" in the mountains to commemorate our elopement. He responded to my inquiry quickly and understood what I was trying to accomplish. His pricing was surprisingly reasonable given the quality of work I saw on his site. The photoshoot went very smoothly. He was really familiar with Rocky Mountain National Park and knew some good spots in the areas we wanted to take pictures. I'm not *at all* comfy or experienced in front of the camera, so I was a little nervy going into it about looking awkward or stiff in the pictures. But Mark made everything feel super comfortable and gave us direction as we went along. When we got the pictures back, I was BLOWN AWAY. They were absolutely stunning. The mountain landscapes in the background looked unreal. And I was extremely pleasantly surprised at how flattering the pictures were of my husband and myself. (I always joke that cameras hate me b/c I can't take a good picture to save my life.) But the pictures from this photoshoot taken by Mark, genuinely, are the most beautiful I've ever seen myself look in a picture. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the pictures I received from Mark. 10 out of 10. 5 stars. HIGHLY, highly recommend!!

Meghan Blanton Photography

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding day Meghan is the BEST. She got some very very special moments and helped keep everything on schedule. She was a big part of our day and it wouldn’t have been the same without her.
