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.

We were thrilled to work with Colleen's Captures for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Colleen was relaxed and informative, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Her documentary style really captured the emotional moments that mattered most to us—the genuine laughs, the quiet glances, all the joy we felt. What we love about her work is how it feels so natural and fun, like she was just there enjoying the day with us rather than directing every shot. Colleen had such an easygoing presence on our wedding day that our guests felt comfortable around her, and it shows in the photos. We couldn't be happier with how she documented our celebration and would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who gets it.

I love to bring my passion for the outdoors to your wedding. Whether you decide to elope in the high alpine or choose one of the many beautiful venues in the valley, I’m always looking for that perfect backdrop combined with authentic moments. My style is chill, besides the obvious needs for family photos and other scheduled shoots throughout the day, you may not even know I’m there. I’m like a fly on the wall capturing all the candids. My favorite weddings are those created by your unique vision. I’m looking forward to hearing what you have planned and seeing how we can work together to make your day special.

Benjamin Duke Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first meeting, he was accommodating, flexible, and genuinely curious to know more about what we wanted from our wedding photography. His communication style put us at ease and made the whole process enjoyable. The quality of his work is simply stunning - he has a keen eye for detail and a beautiful way of capturing the unique feelings and personalities of the day. Ben and his team were there every step of the way, spending lots of time with us and ensuring we felt special. The final photos are truly one of a kind, showcasing the beauty and creativity we were hoping for. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Benjamin Duke Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise. The team of two photographers and a videographer was amazing, capturing so many special moments that will forever stay with us from our wedding day. We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Lacie replied quickly to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, she made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, guiding us through poses while also capturing adorable candid moments that truly reflect the joy and love of our special day. She and her husband (her second photographer) were incredibly helpful in wrangling our large families for group photos, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted. Our wedding photos are stunning and we are so grateful to have such beautiful memories captured. Not to mention she had our sneak peak pics back to us the next morning! We would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer. I’ve included a few of my favorites but there are way too many to choose from!

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've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years. I often work with adventurous couples who look beyond what most of the wedding industry is selling and wanna start their own traditions.

We were looking for a wedding photographer who would be able to capture the most special moments of our day and who would create wedding photos that were also art, and WOW did Cory deliver! He was so helpful both leading up to our wedding day and on the day itself - we gave him a tight timeline the day of and he handled it so professionally and still made every moment so fun and stress free. He was honestly such a fun guest to have at the wedding, everyone was talking about how much they loved our photographer! And the photos were just perfect. They captured the love and the fun of the day so beautifully. The photos were unique compared to other photographers but also timeless - we had an incredibly difficult time picking our favorites! We truly could not recommend Cory highly enough!

Saige's work is so beautiful, and I can't wait to start sharing our wedding photos with family and friends -- we did our engagement photos with her, too (pictured here), and I literally cried at how gorgeous they were. She knows exactly how to capture these special moments, how to make you comfortable in front of the camera (even if you're not that way usually), and will just wow you with the results! Plus, in addition to being wildly talented and skilled, Saige's energy is so amazing and she is SO wonderful to work with. She went along with a few of our sillier requests and made them even better than we could have dreamed, was a wonderful presence to have on our wedding day, and has been such a source of light and joy. We really can't recommend her enough and will be forever grateful to have worked with her on our big day. A brilliant artist and total wedding pro!

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.

From the engagement session to the day of our wedding, Ashley made us feel very comfortable around cameras and posing, which me and my now husband are normally not very good at lol. She is a tremendous delight to work with so creative, so organized and so patient. We absolutely loved our wedding portraits and the way Ashley and her team were able to capture every special detail in our very special day. She made sure we were always on track with our timeline for the day and to accommodate our wants and needs. Our wedding video was also something that we were really impressed with and so obsessed with the golden hour drone shots courtesy of Logan!

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. 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 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!!

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!

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.

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.

Tooney is everything you’d want in a photographer. Genuine, professional, communicative, talented, and incredible at candid photos. She photographed our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, and I will be booking her for any future photoshoot needs.

Amazing lives up to her name. If pictures aren't important to you, go with any photographer. If pictures are important to you, go with Amazing. She was so professional, but fun and attentive. I hardly noticed she was there, and she got every shot I could ask for plus more! We were all so at ease around her. It made photo times go smoothly and easily. We had a pretty low photography budget originally, but the photographers in our range were not living up to our vision. We decided to adjust our budget and that's how we found Amazing. And let me tell you, she is worth every penny. Our friends and family love our photos. We are told regularly that our PHOTOS are beautiful (because there are), not just that we looked beautiful/handsome or that it was a lovely day and a lovely wedding. I really notice the variety of compliments we have received on the photos themselves, not just on us. There is also a noticeable difference in the quality of our photos versus some of the other weddings we have been in recently. Our photos have a crispness and everyone looks perfect in every shot. I don't know how she does it. I cannot express enough how happy I am with our photos. They are absolutely sublime. Thank you, a million times over, Amazing!
