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
Elora Danen Photography is one of the BEST photographers we have ever worked with! She and her team were able to make our wedding dreams come true by capturing the beauty of our wedding at the Venue at Crooked Willow Farms in Larkspur, CO. Even with a cloudy and windy day against the mountains, her and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the process. ALL of the photos turned out beautifully and encapsulated all of the love and emotions that we shared that day. I could not recommend this photographer enough!

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.

We found Tomi through a Facebook group and from the very first post I saw, I was immediately impressed and knew I wanted him as our wedding photographer. From the beginning, Tomi showed us just how special our experience would be—not only through his talent, but through his incredible personality and genuine care. He took the time to speak with us multiple times leading up to our wedding, making sure our personalities, expectations, and vision all aligned beautifully. That level of intention meant everything to us. The final product absolutely exceeded our expectations, and we receive nonstop compliments—several people have even told us our wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful we chose Tomi to capture such an important day.

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'm a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding. 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. Outside of your big day, I love tagging along with both of you on a date to the white mountains or even just drinking hot coffee and laughing on cold winter days. I am passionate about capturing a real & unrestrained version of my clients.

If you're thinking of booking Becky for your big day, do it! You won't be disappointed. We had Becky photograph our intimate wedding at the Mountain View Grand in December 2022 and we couldn't have been happier with the experience and the photos! Becky was amazing to work with from helping me get in my dress, to braving the cold and snow to get all the outdoor shots I really wanted! She was quick to respond throughout the entire process, and really took the time to get to know us. She made us feel comfortable through all the pictures. We've had pictures taken in the past where it felt awkward and uncomfortable and this was the complete opposite. We had so much fun taking pictures, and at the end of the night I couldn't stop talking about how much I loved working with her! I had several guests comment about how impressed they were with her too. The quality of the photos are amazing, and I was shocked with the quick turn around time. We had a sneak peak with a handful of photos within 48 hours! The photos are just beautiful, and we can't thank her enough for helping make our day so special and giving us beautiful photos to remember it by for years to come.

I'm a lover of animals, tattoos, writing, and all things fantasy, especially The Lord of The Rings.

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.

Ali was nothing short of stellar for our wedding. She did our engagement photos, portraits, and candids during the ceremony and reception.

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.

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

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. I was really happy with the final product and thought it was documentary worthy to share with relatives overseas who couldnt make it in person.

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.

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 the gem of our wedding day. When she arrived at my get-ready space, it felt like the arrival of an old friend. We got married in 2020 and our reception venue was canceled a week before our day. We ended up having our reception in our back garage! Markie pivoted perfectly and helped make our day feel so easy. I'm so comfortable with her, we have so much fun, and she genuinely enjoys her clients. We've done several family photo sessions with her now and she absolutely delights in our daughters. They love her and it makes photos with toddlers so easy! At this point, we consider her a friend. She knows the most beautiful corners of Denver and perfectly captures the spirit of your day. She can even pull real smiles out of my camera-hating husband! We will ALWAYS choose Markie, no matter what the occasion!

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.

Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,350
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

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.

Charlotte was the photographer for my small 25-person wedding, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was communicative, helpful, and made me feel so excited and confident about the entire process. On the wedding day, she blended in seamlessly while still guiding us with posing when we needed it. She made everything feel easy and natural, which meant so much to me. We received our photos much sooner than expected, and I was absolutely in love with them. They were exactly what I had hoped for and captured the day so beautifully. I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable photographer.

Castner Photography

  • 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,
