White Umbrella Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Golden, CO

Hi I'm David! Professional Wedding Photographer, part-time snowboard bum, proud Dog Dad, and husband to my wonderful wife, Phoebe. I started White Umbrella Photography for the same reason most people would start their own business, to pursue my passion and experience more out of life. And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments for so many awesome couples. I've laughed, shouted for joy, and even cried for a lot of the couples I've worked with, all from behind the camera. I really do find myself smiling ear to ear after each wedding, being reminded of how rad it is to love, and to be loved in return.

Hi! ​I'm Ivy, The Pic Chick! I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for about 18 years! I am from Arizona, but now live in Colorado! I am married to an awesome dude, I have 2 tiny humans! I do everything I can to make the photo experience fun and pressure-free, to help your wedding day go by in a timely manner. While you are enjoying the moments of your big day I’ll be snapping away freely, capturing the wonderful timeless memories! I'd love to meet up with you to chat more, let's grab a coffee sometime!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ivy has photographed four major life events for my family now. From our engagement to wedding to maternity to newborn photos, she captured so many of our most important memories that we can treasure forever so beautifully. In planning a wedding with a goal of staying under Colorado’s average wedding cost, I was deep in the Internet and Instagram profiles looking for a photographer that was affordable without sacrificing quality. I found two and was leaning more toward Ivy anyway, but blindly showed my fiancé at the time samples of the two photographers’ portfolios. He immediately chose Ivy’s without knowing anything about who the photographer was, cost, or any other details. He gave the reasoning that her photos were so vibrant and real-looking and he wanted our days captured in the same way. As soon as we got on the phone for our consultation call with Ivy, we immediately clicked. She then made us feel so comfortable in the engagement session and we really got to get to know each other in preparation for our big wedding day. She then requested the wedding day schedule and even helped us make decisions to build that schedule based on not only what would give us the best photo opportunities but also what would work better for us based on what she knew and getting to know us. Because she has so much experience and cares so deeply about her clients, she actually doubled as a second wedding coordinator for the day-of. She made the day flow so stress-free and took a lot of responsibility upon herself to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. Her portfolio speaks for itself as far as photography quality, her abilities, and capturing the best moments, but it’s the personal touch that you don’t get to see in her portfolio at earns her the highest five star rating. Even in the shoots outside of our wedding, she was so gentle and patient with our dogs and newborn baby, putting us so ease in what could have been stressful situations prepping for a photo session. I want to yell from the mountain tops that everybody should trust Ivy when looking for a photographer for those important moments. If you’re reading this review in order to select a photographer, you can go ahead and just book her now. After the most important photo shoots of our lives over the past year I can promise you that you won’t regret it.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is AMAZING! I'm so happy and relieved we made the right pick for our wedding. She was very easy to work with, understood exactly what we were looking for and the results are better than what we expected. The pictures are beautiful, graceful, and tasteful. We are so pleased and in love with our pictures! We received a lot more pictures than we thought we would get and she was very fast to send them. Thank you Katie!

Oh hey! I’m Katie, down-to-earth and down to explore! I'm a Colorado wedding & elopement photographer, adventurer, and cat mom. Let me promise you two things. First: we are going to have a blast! Plenty of people think they’re really awkward, especially for photos. Never fear! I use super fun prompts, simple poses, dumb jokes, and a journalistic approach to capture candid moments and your authentic selves. 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. I am always going to be in your corner!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is an exceptional photographer & person. She made everything so easy, from initially meeting with us to talk about it wedding, booking, and her wealth of experience in advising us on what to wear, how to pose, how to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and how to enjoy ourselves throughout the process. Her guides for engagement shoots and the wedding day itself were invaluable, and her professionalism and process in hitting every major point of the occasion is done with such finesse. Katie is hilarious, affable, kind, and incredibly skilled at what she does. She made us feel completely taken care of from booking through the wedding day, and after. Book her; you will not regret it. Per my wedding party, “Katie is the real MVP.” We love her.

I’m Lo, a wedding and elopement photographer creating warm, intentional imagery for couples who value connection and being fully present on their wedding day. My approach is calm, people-focused, and storytelling-driven—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while preserving the emotion, movement, and meaningful details that make it yours. My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

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!

Sheila developed a love of photography at a very young age, when she was given her first camera. She initially began her journey photographing nature. Her first wedding was a freelance project nearly 30 years ago but it was not until she had children of her own that she created a client base from “the neighborhood” not knowing how her fun hobby would eventually turn into an actual business. She has photographed everything from small intimate ceremonies to large events and loves getting to know each couple and what makes their day special!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Shelia. From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and confident. On our wedding day, she was calm, professional, and truly captured every special moment so beautifully. Looking through our photos brings us right back to the emotions of the day. Shelia has an incredible eye for detail and storytelling, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for timeless, genuine photos!

What turns good wedding photos into unforgettable ones? It’s not just about documenting the day — it’s about capturing you at your most real: relaxed, confident, and completely present. That’s exactly what I’m here to do. I create wedding photos that feel true to who you are, so every time you see them—on your walls or in an album with family—you’re instantly taken back to those beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Jon wasn’t just another wedding photographer—he was our photographer. He took the time to really get to know us as a couple: our story, our style, what mattered most to us on the big day. It never felt like we were just another booking; it felt like we were working with a close friend who genuinely cared. He asked thoughtful questions about everything from lighting preferences to family dynamics, and even remembered small details we’d mentioned in passing. On the day of the wedding, Jon showed up not only prepared, but excited—he had a game plan tailored exactly to our venue and timeline, and even built in time for spontaneous moments he knew we'd value. What really stood out was how he captured us. Not just the staged shots (which were stunning), but the in-between moments: the look we exchanged during the vows, my dad tearing up during the father-daughter dance, the spontaneous laughter between friends. Each photo feels like a piece of our story, not just a snapshot. We couldn’t be more grateful. If you want someone who makes the effort to understand your vision, treats you with care, and captures your day in a way that feels deeply you, Jon is it. Highly, highly recommended. — Sole

Hi, I'm Zara — a Colorado-based photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing weddings, engagements, and cultural celebrations. I blend natural light, candid emotion, and timeless composition to create photos that feel as real as your love. From intimate elopements to vibrant events, I provide a calm, welcoming presence and images you'll cherish forever. All love and identities are celebrated here. Let's create something unforgettable together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Zara is talented and kind! She did an amazing job at our photos and frankly gave us way too many amazing photos to choose from! She was very detail oriented and researched the area and had reference photos for us to use for poses; she also allowed our goofiness to pull through with our axolotl onesies, as well as having perfectly professional engagement photos alongside them. She unfortunately was in a car accident and missed the first designated time, but she made up for it immensely and was prompt to reschedule the session. She also edited most of the photos she sent, well over 100, while I have heard from other people that their photographers only had them pick 5 or so favorites for the photographer to go in to edit. She sent back the photos after just one week, and we are looking forward to her photographing our wedding next year and will update this review following that.

You can usually find me holding a camera and a coffee! I was born and raised partially in Texas and partially in Colorado. Growing up, I used art as a way to get lost in something nurturing, healthy, and safe. I am a Libra and Libras love pretty things, so we are especially interested in making things look beautiful and pleasing to the eye! I worked in camera stores all through high school and college as a Lab Technician. I moved to Denver at age 20 to pursue my BFA in Film/Video/Television graduating in 2008. I waited to find and marry the man of my dreams that shares a love of art with me. He assists me at most wedding gigs we accept!

Coming from Ohio to Colorado without ever having visited before, we were overwhelmed trying to plan an elopement from afar. Choosing Tommy as our photographer was, hands down, the best decision we made. He not only scouted the most breathtaking locations, but brought calm to our chaos, warmth to our nerves, and somehow even won over our dogs instantly. From the first moment to the final shot, Tommy made us feel completely at ease. His energy is positive, grounding, and exactly what you want on a day that means everything. And then there are the photos—stunning, professional, full of life and emotion. We’ll treasure them forever. Thank you, Tommy, for giving us more than pictures, you gave us a gift we’ll hold close for the rest of our lives.

I live in the Denver area and work throughout the state of Colorado, primarily at mountain destinations like Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Keystone, Telluride, and beyond. I shoot digital exclusively with the Nikon Z6ii using fixed lenses. ​

I recently married in August 2024 and the best decision I made was hiring Jamee Pierzchala to photograph my big day. I can truly say that Jamee is the most talented photographer. Her work is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I’m usually very self conscious about how I look in photographs. Somehow she made me feel so comfortable and took the most stunning photos. I’ve never felt more beautiful. I’m telling you my house is about to be a museum of her work. I cannot thank her enough for capturing every special moment of the day.

I’ve worked with 100+ couples across Colorado and Wyoming who are often worried they’re going to be too “awkward” to have good photographs. None of them have been right so far, and I don’t believe you’ll be the first.

From the moment we first spoke with Sara from Apricity Images, we knew we were in good hands. Her direct and honest communication style put us at ease, and her fun personality made the entire process surprisingly natural - even for two camera-shy people like us. The quality of Apricity's work is simply beautiful, capturing all the candid, authentic moments that made our wedding day so special. When it started raining, Sara was quick to pull out an umbrella, and those ended up being some of our favorite photos. Sara was also incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process, making sure we included all the details that were important to us. Our wedding day couldn't have been better, and we owe a huge thanks to Apricity Images for helping to make it so perfect.

Hi, I'm Shelby. I'm a Colorado wedding and elopement photographer and I specialize in couples, elopements, and intimate weddings. I focus on capturing intimate, romantic, and authentic moments in epic locations. I primarily serve couples on the Front Range of Colorado.

I am so glad that I found Shelby to photograph my wedding! She is such a sweet and kind person, and the photos (just the sneak peaks so far) are amazing. She was so easygoing and loved to help us play and find movement in our photographs! I love that her photos are true to color and aren't over edited. Looking back, the photos are exactly how I remember the day, which is all I could have wanted. I cannot recommend her enough!

What separates good wedding photos from amazing wedding photos? They should capture your once-in-a-lifetime moments, but show the real you - relaxed, confident, and soaking in every memory of the biggest day of your life.1 That’s exactly what I’m here to do: To give you wedding photography that tells your wedding story in a way that’s so authentically you, that you’ll be instantly transported back into those beautiful wedding day memories every time you see them in your home or reminisce over them with your family.

John was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first conversation, John was quick to respond, professional, and personable, making my husband and I feel completely at ease. His communication style and ability to fit right in with our wedding party put everyone in a great mood - we shared a few beers and a few laughs, and he got amazing shots because of it. The photos John delivered are absolutely beautiful and real, with fantastic editing that truly captures the joy and uniqueness of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the quality of his work, and highly recommend John to any couple planning their wedding.
