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
From our initial conversations with Ivy, we immediately felt a wonderful connection and knew we were in good hands. Her communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring, which made the whole process feel easy and comfortable. On our wedding day, she was absolutely fantastic! She skillfully guided our family and friends to capture all the important moments, and we were so impressed with her creative eye for photos and poses (we were overwhelmed and clueless and she was so helpful and fun!) The resulting images are absolutely beautiful – perfectly composed and truly reflect the joy of our day. Ivy's professionalism, organization, and genuine enthusiasm were so appreciated, and the final photos are something we will treasure forever. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photographer who will make their experience truly special.

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’s process, from the initial consultation to the delivery of the final photos, made us feel incredibly confident and cared for. Before the wedding, she took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring every detail was considered. Considering that we reached out 2-weeks before our special day, she made the entire process of contract and payment simple. During the wedding, her calm and professional demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries. After the wedding, her prompt communication and the beautiful presentation of the photos exceeded our expectations. The most memorable or standout part of working with Katie was her incredible ability to capture the pure joy and emotion of our special day. She effortlessly blended into the background, yet managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every precious moment with stunning clarity and artistry. To any couple who’s on the fence about hiring Katie Blondin Photography, I would say don’t hesitate for a second! Her talent, dedication, communication, and passion for her craft are unparalleled. She has a remarkable gift for capturing the essence of a moment, and your photos will be treasured memories that we will cherish forever. It was important to us to have a photographer who was able to capture our two dogs who were the best “men” in our wedding. Katie was a pro with making sure they were the stars of the photos. A cherished photo in our gallery is of us with our boys. Thank you, Katie, for being a part of our wedding and for providing us with such breathtaking memories. Your work is truly exceptional, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have you as our wedding photographer.

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!

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!

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.

My photography style is a blend of bright, emotional, and colorful and my goal is to reveal the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary.

Shelly photographed our wedding and we really felt she went above and beyond! My husband and I are pretty introverted and she did a great job of getting both great candid and posed shots of us and made us feel comfortable through the whole process. She was a prompt and thorough communicator, got our photos back quickly, and was very affordable. Honestly, I think she could charge more than she is now with the quality. I'm really happy with the photos she took and would recommend her to anyone!

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!

Sheila photographed my daughter's wedding and I couldn't have been more pleased with her professionalism, creativity, and out of the box ideas and pictures that captured this special day beautifully! She was so easy to work with and nothing about the experience was difficult or stressful. She also delivered the masterful and breathtaking photos timely. I can truly say that she exudes professionalism and passion. She is an amazing photographer, creating art and capturing memories that showcases her talent. I would recommend her over and over and over again!

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.

My love for God’s creation, as well as the unexpected, drives the organic quality of my work. I enjoy shooting the most natural, candid moments that unfold at a wedding to genuinely document the essence of the occasion and the backdrop. Whether nature brings rain or shine, order or chaos—it’s your story, and I’d be honored to capture it. 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. ​

Jamee did an incredible job capturing our wedding day! Every single photo we have is stunning. She captured so many intricate details from our venue, ceremony and reception I feel like I am reliving our wedding day every time I look at our photos. She was fun to have around and incredibly easy going. But at the same time, she did a great job informing everyone about where we needed to be and when. We got a large sneak peak album the day after our wedding, which was so fun to see! She also will be making us a table book with our favorite photos to cherish as well. I had absolutely no worries the day of our wedding knowing things were in Jamee's hands. Do not hesitate to book Jamee photography!! You will not regret it, I know I certainly do not!!

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.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our elopement in Rocky Mountain National Park. Since it was just the two of us, we really wanted someone who would make the day feel special but authentic, and Shelby was perfect. Shelby was incredibly dedicated throughout the whole process, constantly going above and beyond to scout the best angles and lighting. She was also amazing at fluffing my dress, which ended up being a lot more of a commitment than I expected but it made the dress look amazing. The photos turned out even better than we could have expected. I would thoroughly recommend Shelby to anyone.

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.
