We've been photographing and videotaping weddings and events for over 24 years. We really enjoy being able to document a this special time in a couple's beginning. Often times we become friends with them and get to follow their life journey after the wedding by also documenting other special moments like births, birthdays and more.

Working with Jamie and Crystalline Photography & Video was amazing! She was so communicative during the preparation process and after the wedding. During the wedding, she made sure we knew that she was on top of things and assisted where needed, but then we barely saw her or her team which was exactly what we needed to be able to enjoy the wedding! Afterwards, she sent us an online gallery of photos so we could look at them as well as our highlight reel while we were waiting for the video and the rest of the photos, all which she communicated via email in detail. Jamie also sent me reminders of when payments were due (and as a forgetful ADHD bride, I greatly appreciated that). Jamie and her team produced INCREDIBLE work and I’m so happy I picked Crystalline Photography & Video to document our wedding! Thank you!!

I don't even know where to begin! I knew Simone was our number one choice from the first time I looked at his website. His photos are beautiful, adventurous, and somehow classic AND edgy. Simone was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry and we were able to meet up in person that same week and for us there was no looking back. Our experience with Simone was nothing short of perfect and we truly felt like we not only had a great photographer but a great friend, throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful but Simone made the engagement and wedding photo experience so easy and fun for us and we are SO happy with our photos- both engagement and wedding photos. We can't recommend Mastrosimo Photography enough. Thank you!!!!

I’m Austin, your dream wedding photographer! I started taking photos in high school for my school newspaper waaaay back when and have never had a bad day taking photos since. I love being a photographer. I love everything about it. I love the gear and the nerdy knowledge. I love shooting and editing.

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

Carmen did engagement photos for my fiance and I (she’ll also be doing our wedding photos) and we are beyond impressed!! They turned out better than we could have hoped and have us excited for our wedding day photos. Carmen was prompt and responsive prior to the session. During the session, she provided guidance as well as listened to our ideas for poses. Afterwards, she sent us a few sneak peak photos and then got us the remainder incredibly quickly (within a week!). Although I am very happy with her editing of our photos as is, Carmen did mention that we could request another filter if we had wanted. Highly recommend!!

Golden, CO
  • Photojournalistic style

What started as a passion project in Texas back in 2020 has led me to Golden, Colorado, where I continue to tell stories through my camera. I focus on blending timeless portraits with a documentary approach, capturing both beautifully posed moments and the raw, in-between emotions that make your story truly yours. My goal is to create images that reflect your authentic self, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Jenny was recommended to us by a friend and wow we could not be happier!! She is warm, kind, and made us feel so comfortable. The engagement shoot being included in the wedding package was so helpful because not only do we have beautiful engagement photos to look back on, we also got to know Jenny and she got to know us before the wedding! The day of our wedding she was punctual, calm, and she kept things moving perfectly so we got all the shots we wanted. And of course the best part is that her photos are STUNNING!! Everyone we show them to has been blown away by how gorgeous they are. Highly recommend Jenny for a fairly priced, fantastic photographer!

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Colorado, USA. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy was very responsive and accommodating to our micro wedding. I believe I found her on Zola and was very happy to see that she travels to our state for photography sessions and she was familiar with the area. My partner and I were looking for someone to "go with the flow" as we didn't have much planned. Amy balanced our lack of directions with her obvious expertise, helping to capture our day in the most natural way. A guest later commented, "your photographer was good because I never knew my picture was being taken!" In a group of 20 people, that's a skill. We received our photos back exactly on time and I would recommend Amy to anyone. We're so fortunate to have had her capture the memories of our day.

The second promise that I will do whatever I can to make your life simpler during this process. Whether that is timeline planning, or helping plan your dream elopement.

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should too!!!

Our lead team consists of Beau and Luke (photographers) and Reese (videography.) We approach weddings in a photojournalistic style with a focus on candid/genuine moments.

Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

Hey I'm Katie! "I promise that you’ll never find another like me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ohh. I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me…" (Admit it—you sang along, didn’t you?) Taylor Swift is totally onto something here: finding a photographer who can accurately showcase your love story is key. Your wedding day is about celebrating what makes your relationship unique and capturing all the feels and moments with your loved ones is part of that too.

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.

Lo's desire is to deliver images that allow you to step back into your wedding day and relive your happiest moments. A photographer you can trust and have a connection with!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

I am a Denver, CO based photographer with an inclination to travel. I am constantly inspired by new environments and experiences which I consider each wedding day to be. I've been in the wedding industry for 7+ years and no two wedding days have been the same and in my opinion, that's how it should be, as no two couple's story are the same. I picked up a camera at age 18 and just have yet to set it down at age 26. My aussie, Dixie, has been with me every step of the way and loves to travel herself. I am a hard core foodie and will try anything at least once (as will Dixie).

Madison is the absolute best! She captured my bridal and wedding photos and all of the pictures turned out amazing! I was pretty nervous for my bridal photos but she was really helpful with posing and making it not feel awkward and they turned out great! As for the wedding photos, I don’t think anything could top the pictures she took! She’s truly amazing at what she does! I am so glad I reached out to her for my wedding! The pictures all turned out perfect and she was also very organized throughout the planning process as well. She shares tips and things I likely wouldn’t have thought of leading up to the big day! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a photographer! Adding some pics below so you can see how great she is!

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. I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about forging connections, capturing emotions, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.

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.

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 Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. 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. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!

I'm Elora, a Colorado and Arizona Wedding & Elopement Adventure Photographer. My business is built around more than just pretty pictures; it’s about creating an experience. Whether it’s hiking to a breathtaking mountain peak or finding those quiet, intimate moments during your day, I’m here to tell your story the way it deserves to be told. For me, this isn’t just about a job—it’s about preserving the kind of memories that make your heart skip a beat for years to come.

From start to finish, working with Elora and her team was an absolute dream and it honestly felt like another pair of our friends were witnessing one of the biggest moments of our lives. They captured every precious moment of our special day with such grace and creativity, far beyond our expectations. From the intimate ceremony at the historic Rockland Church to our photos on Lookout Mountain and following us to our reception in Morrison, they didn’t just take pictures and video – they told the story of our big day in the most special way. Their attention to detail was impeccable. Every photo felt so personal and true to the emotions of the moment. They were patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire process, making us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She even made my side-profile look good!!! The vintage charm and elegance they brought out in each shot perfectly matched the vibe we envisioned for our wedding. We’re beyond grateful for the memories they've captured for us, and we’ll treasure these photos and the video for decades to come. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only provide stunning memories but also make your day feel even more magical, look no further than Elora and her team.
