Tomi Photopositive 
Rating: 5.0 (72 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

Nationally recognized rock & roll photographer makes you the rock star on your wedding day! Combining the latest in film like color and modern art photography, with the classic simplicity of black and white photo-journalism. Lisa leaves no detail uncovered.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Lisa for our wedding in Lyons, CO and she was absolutely incredible! She was so easy to work with and brings an easy going and low stress approach to wedding photography which I felt calming and reassuring since wedding planning in general can have its fair share of stress. She is so talented behind the lens and looks for creative shots and suggestions to get a beautiful photo. She helped us feel comfortable posing and offered ideas and direction along the way when we needed it. She’s also extremely efficient, we did not want a photographer who would take us away from enjoying the wedding for long periods of time to get a million photos and that is not her preference either. She’s quick, she grabbed us for 5-10 minutes a couple times throughout the evening to get the best light and we were done and we still ended up with a ton of beautiful shots! Thank you Lisa! We will definitely work with you again in the future for a doggy shoot!

Hi new friend, I’m Elora! Photography is so much more than snapping pretty photos to me. It is about the adventure we share and the memories we create along the way. One day we might be hiking up a mountain for those epic views and another we might be chasing the laughter and little in-between moments that make your story yours. I want you to look back years from now and feel every bit of it all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot express how amazing Elora is!! My husband and I renewed our vows for our ten year anniversary in Crested Butte and we are so obsessed with how all of our photos turned out! She planned everything from location to timing to weather and was honestly a dream photographer to work with. I work in the bridal industry and work with a lot of photographers and Elora, hands down, is one of the best. If you are looking for editorial, picturesque, and romantic adventure elopement or wedding photos in Colorado and beyond, absolutely go with her. You won't be disappointed. 3

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.

I believe that wedding photography should be about you. This is your love, your story and your adventure. Here's what I believe you deserve: A. A photographer who listens to your whole story, and gets as invested in it as you want (but not like in a weird way) B. For you to be able leave stress at the door. I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C. Amazingly personal photographs where you don't feel like a stranger in your own wedding album. I want to give you a fun experience, and allow you to be fully present in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Alex enough! From the moment we met him, it felt like we had known him forever. He brought the best energy to our wedding day. He was professional, fun, calming, and genuinely excited to be there. We planned our entire wedding in Colorado remotely, and he was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond to answer questions, offer recommendations, and help us think through the timeline and logistics leading up to the big day. He was knowledgeable, supportive, and really made our day a lot less stressful. One of the things we appreciated most was that we never had to ask for a photo. He was always in the right place at the right time, capturing every special moment before we even realized it was happening. We were able to stay fully present and enjoy our day knowing he had everything covered. Not only did we love working with him, but our family did too. Days after the wedding, we were still receiving compliments about how wonderful he was to be around, how hard he worked, and how seamlessly he blended into the day while capturing every important moment. And the photos were absolutely incredible. Every image is beautiful, and his editing style perfectly captured the emotion, beauty, and joy of day. We truly loved working with him and are so grateful he was part of our wedding. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, organized, personable, and passionate about what he does, look no further. He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would choose him again in a heartbeat!

Capturing the real love of my couples is what's most important to me. I love working with couples to create images that represent their authentic and raw adoration for one another.

I'm a lover of animals, tattoos, writing, and all things fantasy, especially The Lord of The Rings. I love to talk about dogs (they're amazing, okay?) and will tell you all about my rescue, Rhaegar, who wears pajamas and has learned how to skillfully wrap himself up like a burrito with our fuzziest blankets when it snows if you let me. I am also the biggest The Airborne Toxic Event fan and there's a pretty good chance they're who I'm rocking out to on my way to your wedding.

Anyone can take a picture, but it takes skill to make it look like a work of art. Tatiana does just that! As someone who loves hard but never thought I was the romantic type, I learned that I just needed some help capturing the moments I don't always see. Tatiana graciously guided us through our wedding planning from the engagement photo session to prove to us that we aren't THAT awkward, though our wedding day capturing all of the love, joy, and wonderful emotions that accompanied our celebration. Their clear and prompt communication put me at ease so many times, and they made me feel like my husband and I were their #1 priority throughout our wedding planning process. I can't recommend Silver Mountain Photography enough!!

Hi there! The name’s Ali. But I also go by: you’re cheerleader, hopeless romantic, and your bestie throughout the wedding process. I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond. Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts. The first look. First kiss. First dance. But more importantly, I want to capture how you felt. I don’t want to just take nice photos. I want to build you a time capsule, so when you look back at your wedding photos years down the line you can remember every laugh, tear and kiss.

We are blown away by our photos! Ali is so amazing to work with we got everything we wanted on our special day! She always made sure to check in with us and especially me the bride and I appreciated that because wedding days can be so crazy! The meeting we had with her really helped her figure us out as a couple and what we were comfortable with. She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her. We wanted some different styles for our wedding shoot so we asked for different lens such as the kaleidoscope effect and others and those are our favorite ones!

Hey, I’m Kristina—photographer, storyteller, and your go-to person for capturing wedding days that feel as incredible as they look. I’ve spent years photographing everything from live music to adventure travel, and now, I bring that same energy, artistry, and realness to wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Krush Photography was our absolute saving grace on our wedding day. Every bride’s worst nightmare came true for us when our hired photographer arrived solo—no second shooter—leaving us in a panic knowing our day truly required two photographers. In the middle of getting her hair done, Kristina saw a random Facebook post desperately calling for a photographer to jump in and help. Without hesitation, she responded, sprang into action, and came straight to our wedding—already behind schedule—ready to step in and save the day. And save the day she did. If it weren’t for her, we would not have half of the beautiful memories captured in our wedding gallery. Kristina was kind, supportive, understanding, and exactly the calm we needed amidst the storm created by our hired photographer. We cannot thank her enough for stepping in for us, even though we were not her clients to begin with. She knew our ceremony location like the back of her hand, which was an incredible relief since we were getting married out of state. While our original photographer claimed she would handle the research, she was completely unprepared—but Kristina’s familiarity with the area, including the best back roads and lighting spots, was invaluable. She truly saved the day. From her professionalism to her warmth, Krush Photography went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. If you are even thinking about hiring a photographer, look no further—Kristina is the one you need. She is more than a photographer; she’s a hero, a lifesaver, and an absolute joy to work with. During unforeseen and stressful circumstances, she didn’t just step up—she went above and beyond, capturing every moment beautifully. There’s truly no one else who could do what she did for us. Hire her. You won’t regret it.

Hi, I’m Rachel! a professional wedding photographer based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Born and raised here, I grew up surrounded by the wild beauty of the mountains, and open skies. Nature and animals were my first inspirations, and they continue to shape the way I see the world through my lens today. I’m an alumna of the nation's top art school, The Savannah College of Art and Design, where I earned my degree in Commercial Photography.

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From our very first conversation, she completely understood the vision and vibe we were going for. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured every emotion naturally, and somehow managed to document all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The entire experience was effortless. She was kind, fun to be around, incredibly professional, and made everyone feel at ease throughout the day. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo tells the story of our wedding perfectly, from the intimate details to the big moments. Looking through them takes us right back to that day. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your wedding feel authentic to you, we can’t recommend her enough. These are photos we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

Jeff was super easy to work with, we just had a few video calls before the big day. During our wedding he and his team captured the full ceremony and reception videos as we'd asked, including all the details and kind words that friends had for us.

We felt so comfortable around him which made everything that much easier and our photos feel much more like us.

Larissa is the. BEST. She is not only a seriously talented photographer, she is just a really amazing person too. I am so thankful that we booked Larissa for our engagement and wedding photos. She has a unique talent of making you feel completely relaxed and yourself, and this is apparent in all of our photos. She captured our genuine smiles, laughs, and tender moments--each photo feels completely organic. Larissa took the time to get to know us as a couple, (how we have fun, how we love each other, etc) and used that information to make our photos and experience with her perfectly tailored to us. I genuinely doubt any other photographer would have been able to take such beautiful, authentic, epic photos of us. Seriously. Plus we just had so much fun with her. And besides our actual photos, Larissa was the biggest source of relief on our wedding day. When rain was threatening our wedding, she assured us we would still get all the shots and everything would be okay. She helped wrangle our family, kept us on time, was game for all the couple (and alpaca) shots we wanted, among so many more things. And she was our biggest advocate on our wedding day. I can't count how many times I told my husband through our wedding planning and wedding day, "thank goodness for Larissa". And now that our wedding season is over, I am so grateful that I can count Larissa as my friend too. She is just too wonderful, fun and sweet. If you're debating whether to inquire with Larissa, just do it. Hands down, one of the best decisions of our whole wedding. She is the best.

With 6+ years of being in the wedding industry, I believe the best images are the ones that you can truly connect with; Where you can FEEL the affection, the tenderness, and you get those joyful, tingly feelings when you look back at those moments. I take a candid, documentary, and true-to-color approach to photography. I bring my creative eye, positive attitude, and caring personality to every experience you'll have with me from this moment to the day you receive your final images. You deserve to have a wedding gallery you’re obsessed with AND an incredible experience from start to finish.

Emily is the kind of photographer who becomes part of your story, not just someone hired to document it. She spent not one but two birthdays with us. Her birthday happens to fall on our wedding day, and a year before we actually got married, we booked our engagement session with her on that same date. From that very first session, Emily and her team made us feel completely at ease. They were warm, fun to be around, and genuinely great at what they do. The sneak peeks we have seen so far have been absolutely stunning. Emily's communication throughout the entire process was responsive and professional, and her eye for capturing moments, both posed and candid, gave us complete confidence going into the wedding day. But the moment that will stick with me forever? During our final venue walkthrough about a month before the wedding, Emily overheard me ask my wedding planner to keep sour candy on hand in case my anxiety flared up on the day. She never made a big deal of it in the moment. But on our wedding day, she told me that she and her entire team would all be carrying candy for me, just in case. Every single one of them had remembered. That is not something you can train someone to do. That is just who Emily is. If you want a photographer who will make you feel seen, taken care of, and completely yourself in front of the camera, book Emily. You will not regret it.

Markie Mica Photography

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

My name is Markie and I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Denver, Colorado, but no destination is too far especially if it's to bring two people together! I want to not only be your photographer but also be your friend! I'm here to help you pick out an outfit for your engagement session, give you the pros and cons of having a first look, and even be here for you when you pull out that gallon ice cream from your freezer and pour yourself a glass of wine because wedding planning is stressful! I know exactly how it feels because that was me last week while planning my wedding!

Markie was absolutely amazing to work with! From our engagement session to our wedding weekend, she did the most amazing job. She is so talented and such a joy to be around. We are so grateful for all the memories she captured so beautifully, can’t wait for our next family shoot with her!

“There is one thing the photography must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough – there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.” – Robert Frank

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so happy we hired them to capture the most magical day of our lives. Nick and his team were beyond comparable to anyone else. They captured everything we wanted, without being overbearing. They kept their distance when needed, they took control when needed, they had a great schedule set yet it didn't feel rigid. It was so fun and comfortable hanging with them all day. I cannot say enough good things about them. They also had a cool, new and modern photo booth that we added that everyone loved. Nick went above and beyond throughout this entire process and the amount of work and effort he puts in to this is worth every penny. Do not look anywhere else, you found your photographer in Nick.

Charlotte Croy is a Colorado and Rhode Island based wedding photographer specializing in timeless, light filled imagery with a documentary edge. Her work balances natural emotion with intentional composition, creating photographs that feel elevated yet authentic. From the Rocky Mountains to the New England coast, her approach remains the same: relaxed, thoughtful, and centered on the couple.

Working with Charlotte for our engagement shoot was such an amazing experience. From the moment we booked, she made everything feel organized and stress free. She helped us choose a location that felt meaningful to us and gave great guidance on outfits without making it overwhelming. During the session, she created such a relaxed atmosphere. We never felt stiff or overly posed. She guided us when we needed it but also gave us space to just be ourselves, which made the photos feel authentic and full of personality. When we received our gallery, we were honestly speechless. The images felt warm, romantic, and true to us. She captured the big smiles and the quiet, intimate moments in between. We are even more excited for our wedding knowing we have Charlotte behind the camera.

Castner Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

We are Nate and Anna Castner, a husband and wife photography team. We are an adventurous duo who love to travel, climb, camp, hike, bike, and dive! We love meeting new people, exploring new places, and trying new foods. Photography is our art and our passion. Images can evoke powerful memories, bringing you back to those very moments and all of the details surrounding them.

We had an excellent experience with Nate and Anna (husband and wife couple) throughout our whole engagement and wedding process. They photographed our proposal, engagement shoot and our wedding. They were so fun, kind, professional and easy to work with the entire experience. Super quick to respond to any questions we had, as well. We'll be bummed not to see them again soon! You should definitely hire them for any of the above photo shoots,
