The final photos were great and really helped capture the moment so we can remember it for many years to come. Thank you so much for helping make it a very special day for the two of us!

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
From our very first conversation with Alex, we felt completely comfortable and confident that we were in good hands (and we were absolutely right)! He helped make our wedding day perfect! Alex was incredibly professional, flexible when we had to adjust arrival times due to weather for our outdoor mountain ceremony, and he handled everything with ease. His talent shines through in every shot. He was efficient, thorough, and captured every moment with such artistry and perfection. The photographs are absolutely stunning, and we will treasure them forever. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Alex is a must-hire!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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! Thank you soo much Ali you’re the best!! Book her like yesterday!

I am a wedding planner and I give my clients several recommendations on Photographers, and they all almost always hire Beth after reviewing her work and meeting / speaking with her.

She always delivers what clients specifically want and knows how to get people relaxed and out of their "shells." She is my go-to for headshots and family photos as well (I personally use her!).

I'm a photographer with more than 20 years of professional experience photographing the nuptials of couples all over Colorado. I used to shoot all types of weddings, big and small, but have lately been focusing on elopements and micro weddings as I love the intimacy that these sorts of events engender. I am available for a limited number of micro weddings and elopements each year.

From the moment we first spoke with Julie, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Julie has a wonderfully calm, humorous, and easygoing communication style that instantly put us at ease and calmed our nerves on the big day. Her work is extraordinary with a natural documentary style that captured all the small moments and emotions as well as all of the key events from our wedding. The finished product brought tears to our eyes - Julie has such an incredible eye for detail and is a true talent at telling a story through her photographs. Julie also has such a remarkable bedside manner and mixes so well with everyone. Her presence was both soothing and fun, and she was even able to calm down my mother who was a bit of a wreck emotionally that day. With Julie, you're hiring not just an exceptional photographic talent but also an amazing person who will only add to and increase the joy and beauty of your big day. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I'm a Boulder wedding photographer with a passion for documenting your day as it happened and highlighting the people and relationships you value most. I'd love to spend time exploring and capturing the moments that tell the story of you.

Jonathan is an exceptional photographer and excellent with communication. I knew right away I wanted photos that captured the "real life" moment and the essence of our zoom (online) wedding day, in addition to a few traditional posed photos and scenic ones. People who see the photos say, "I feel like I'm there just by seeing these!" After the ceremony, we took beautiful photos at Chautauqua Park. Jonathan is professional, kind, easy going, adaptable, affordable, and we received hundreds of photos in high-resolution and web-resolution. You can work with him in advance (planning, pose preferences, location) as little or as much as you want.

A little fun stuff about me: I believe in goodnight kisses and holding hands as you fall asleep. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and share our house with four furry children, a foster kiddo or two, and two sons, Easton and Finn. I’m often quiet, but I could talk about The Bachelorette for hours. I believe that exploring is more important than getting to your destination. I believe the perfect day is an afternoon in the mountains & a night cuddling at home. I re-read my favorite books because a good story never gets old. I believe in planning your dreams

Working with Jennie is always such a pleasure! Not only does her work always blow us away, but she also has amazing communication skills. Jennie knows exactly what she is doing and is full of professionalism, but also shows her sweet and caring nature while we are working together. Any time Jennie is the wedding photographer while we are planning, we know that the clients are in great hands because she takes such great care of them at all times!

Be Boulder Photography

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

For me, photography was a happy accident: I stumbled into it 15 years ago when I worked as the art director of SKI Magazine, and budget cuts dictated we take on more work in-house. Something about it flipped a switch for me, and I eventually started to think more about photography than I did about design. I practiced all the time, taking photos of my family at home, and then of friends' families too. I found so much beauty in capturing moments—an open-mouthed laugh, a playful handhold, a knowing look between a husband and wife—that otherwise would be lost amidst the chaos of life.

Be Boulder never ceases to amaze me with how natural and comfortable her shoots/sessions are. She really makes the client feel their best and truly captures the images they will love for years to come! The photos are effortlessly candid and portray the meaningful moments of the day.

I am LGBTQ+ friendly and a proponent of every body shape and color. Inclusion & diversity matter to me. You deserve to feel love and acceptance from your vendors.
