What do you imagine your wedding to be like? Imagination is a nice gift we have. It helps us building our identities and shaping our individual uniqueness. Imagining carries a degree of anticipation, depending on our past experiences and who we are, of how something that hasn't happened yet is going to be when it actually happens. Like traveling to a place where we've never been before and we take photos of its landscapes and people living there: we tend to capture in those photographs how we had imagined that place. A wedding is a destination in the journey of life, perhaps the most important one.

It doesn't matter if it's a lavish affair or if it's small & intimate, your wedding is a big deal! Weddings are crazy fun love filled days that go by so fast! You've put so much thought into this day & there are so many little details that will eventually fade. My job is to make sure you remember all the awesome little moments. If you're looking for an expert cake tester, who will keep your glass full AND constantly tell you how bomb you look, I'm your girl! I'm told I do a pretty great job at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. So don't worry about being awkward, 'cause I get it & I gotchu!

Shira Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, she was fast, responsive, and receptive to all of our questions and requests. Her communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. When it came to the quality of her work, we couldn't be happier - our photos were timeless, clean, and incredibly professional. We are thrilled with how our wedding day was captured and would highly recommend Shira Marie Photography to any couple looking for a top-notch photography team.

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

D.J. & Ashley photographed our engagement pictures and also photographed our wedding day. For this entire journey leading up to the wedding, their communication was so spot on, because they understand what it’s like to plan a wedding and how stressful it is to think of the little things. They were constantly sending words of advice, encouragement, and so many awesome ideas! On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to the room I was getting ready in and it was like the second they showed up, every single wedding day jitter I had just flew out the window. They made everything feel so natural and easy, and honestly so much fun! There is no one I would recommend more than this amazing husband/wife duo, because honestly they made our entire wedding 100x better! To top it off, after the wedding they gifted us a box with the sweetest candid Polaroid pictures that brought me to tears. It was all just absolutely perfect! They also got us our sneak peaks immediately after the wedding, they were all just so perfect and beautiful! These two will forever be my go-to photographers and I encourage everyone to choose them for any event! D.J. & Ashley, thank you for going through this entire engagement/wedding journey with us. You two were an absolute blessing and we honestly just can’t thank you enough!!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Hi, I’m Amandha! A Brazilian-born wedding and elopement photographer based in Denver, CO. My love for storytelling, travel, and memory-making brought me to the U.S. six years ago, and after living coast to coast and down south, I found my heart home in the Colorado mountains with my husband and our pup.

Amandha is genuine, down to earth, laid back, sweet and considerate. She was great on our wedding day! We booked her well over a year before our wedding day, and she stayed in contact over that time touching base to prepare for the big day! Our wedding photos are now in, and we are just in love. She was also extremely communicative to all the wedding vendors on the big day to make sure the timeline stayed on track. If you're debating on who to hire, this is your girl.

Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!!

We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future.

Chris with Shipwrecked Creative helped capture our wedding day perfectly! The planning before the wedding was quite rushed as we booked just few months before the big day, but he helped coordinate our meetings and plan everything out, so we were on the same page. He was very responsive and detailed with everything. The questionnaire he sent us made it super easy to give him all the right information, so he didn’t need to ask 100 questions on the phone or via email. We had a very rainy day with few moments that the sun was shining. Chris helped us capture every moment perfectly. He guided our poses so it wasn’t awkward or unnatural, kept us laughing along the way, and helped us coordinate our timeline to fit in all our family photos, sunset photos (that miraculously worked out with the weather!) and portrait shots that we wanted of our big day. Between the chaos of the wedding in general and the crappy weather, Chris helped us really make our day special, even trekking out in the mud and rain to get some amazing sunset shots! I highly recommend Chris and his team at Shipwrecked Creative. Couldn’t ask for a better team!

We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Grant. Working with him was so easy and fun! He took the time to ask us about our vision and what we were looking for from our day. Grant captured our day in such a unique and beautiful way you can feel the emotion in the photos. All our photos were everything I wanted and more! I can not recommend him enough!

Taylor was awesome to work with. The vendors I work with never send me galleries. She made sure to get tons of photos of my cake and desserts. I still use the photos on my Instagram!
