Kate Merrill Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

I’m Kate; a dog obsessed, coffee shop lurking, total weirdo of a Denver wedding photographer. I’m blessed with a very dry sense of humor (I’m British, I can't help it) and love using it to diffuse awkwardness in front of the camera. As one of my couples wonderfully phrased it, I’m “artsy without being inaccessible.” You know when things look good, and I do too. I’m here for the weirdos, wanderers, and folx who make the world a more interesting place. I AM INCLUSIVE OF ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE AND ALL TYPES OF LOVE. When you reach out to me, you will be met with nothing other than encouragement, support, and excitement to celebrate YOU.

Awarded Best of Zola
The short version, don’t even bother looking at another photographer; Kate is the one. You can see on her website that Kate’s photos are gorgeous. What you can’t see on a website is how Kate made us feel seen and celebrated at every step of our wedding. As a queer couple, having vendors who were going to celebrate our queerness was an absolute must. Some wedding vendors try to be “inclusive” by shoving one picture of a conventionally attractive same-sex couple deep into their website. Not Kate. We knew we weren’t going to be treated as some side show or portfolio builder. If you are queer and planning a wedding, you know how heteronormative this industry is. Kate is the exception to that rule. If that wasn’t enough, Kate literally saved our wedding when my partner tested positive for covid the night before our wedding. Kate was on the phone with us at 10:30pm reassuring us and confirming plans for a covid-safe wedding. Our shot list was moot, but Kate got every picture we wanted and so many more we would have never thought of. Kate was our hype person, our therapist, our best friend, our coordinator, our hydration enforcer, our family dynamic calmer, all while taking the most beautiful pictures capturing this unique and frazzled but perfect day. I would go so far as to say that you don’t know the true potential and value of having a wedding photographer unless Kate Merrill is your wedding photographer.

We are Amanda and Zac Haigh. We got married too! We are your typical Coloradoans that enjoy a good craft beer, and a long hike. We are Colorado wedding and elopement photographers and filmmakers. We want to go beyond that though-- we want to get to know you and your story. It deserves to be told authentically and beautifully. We are Forest Picture Company, and we are all about serving and creating beautiful images of our unique and adventurous couples in Colorado and anywhere you are! Do you want an experience that is fun and laid back? Well, grab a beer and stick around. We’re so excited you’re here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin with Amanda and Zac. There is so much good, I don’t know where to start! Working with Forest Picture Co was the highlight of the wedding day, besides the getting married part, of course! They were patient and kind to everyone, took their time collecting the groups for photographs, and even worked with the DJ, and climbed on a ladder to get an epic cold sparkler shot on the dance floor that no one was expecting! They went out of their way, every single chance they got, to make us feel like celebrities on our wedding day. They are truly kind, genuine people who deliver on what they promise. That is not always easy to find in the wedding industry these days. Oh, and did I mention that we moved our wedding from Colorado (their home base) to North Carolina…and they still showed up for us!? Working with Amanda and Zac was easily one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and we would choose them every single time.

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.

Becky shot our November 2021 Engagement photos and our August 2022 wedding in the white mountains, and we couldn't have been happier! She is a true angel! From day one, Becky was professional, down to earth, and put me and my camera-shy fiance right at ease. At our wedding, she directed our chaotic friends/family members, fixed my veil several times for me, bonded with our friends, worked seamlessly along side our DJ and Venue coordinators, and had us smiling and laughing the whole night. She truly helps make you feel so at-ease especially if you are "awkward" in front of a camera. Her eye for frames and photos is unmatched. She returned our photos within 3 weeks after our wedding, and they were all stunning. Overall she is amazing!! You need to hire Becky!! 3

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
Alex (and his awesome assistant Maddie) not only perfectly captured our wedding, but they truly helped us celebrate the joy and love we felt on the day. Alex is grounded, calm, and helped us stay focused on one another and our community. He acted like our secret protector, carving out time throughout the night for us to bask in all of the small and big moments. In addition to being immensely talented, he is incredibly professional. Leading up to the wedding he was highly communicative (with both us and our planner) and took the time to get to know us. During the day, he played air traffic controller with our extended families without missing a beat. And he even shared a sneak peak of the previews by the next morning for us to celebrate before our honeymoon. We are so grateful that Alex was our photographer. The photos are timeless, and he is just such a great human.

I am a wedding photographer here to freeze the day of your dreams in time. Whether it’s an intimate elopement by an alpine lake or an epic family affair, I’ve got you covered. That means capturing every little glance in-between moments, the magic in the details - big and small - and then wrapping it all up into a stunning portrait gallery you’ll pass down for generations. Consider me your honorary bridesmaid here to cheer you on, pull the pine needles out of your train… I’m wholly invested in you having the time of your life, and capturing it for you to relive time and time again. I can’t wait to start dreaming with you!

Makaila was our wedding photographer and also did an engagement shoot for us. I sent her inspiration for our engagement shoot and she got there early to find the perfect spots to make my vision come to life! I can't even describe how amazing she did for our wedding photos!! Every vision I had she captured and I felt comfortable going to her with all of my ideas for the wedding day. Everywhere I looked she was standing on a chair capturing every moment. She is really good at telling you how to pose and where to put your hands so you don't look awkward as well (I was worried about that)! She is also very sweet and makes you feel so comfortable. I cannot recommend Makaila enough!

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 wonderful from start to finish. She was very comprehensive and helped extensively with our permitting issues (due to my large group of people) which we are forever grateful for. My friend was sitting next to me during my meeting with her before the wedding and she was also very impressed by her thoughtful questions. She handled my family dynamics well on the wedding day and helped keep everyone calm and organized. 10/10 would recommend and I am so excited to see the photos. Thanks Ali!

Krush Photography

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

Greetings, I'm Kristina Rusch, or "Krush," your Colorado wedding photographer and the creative mind behind Krush Photography. Specializing in weddings, family portraits, and intimate boudoir sessions, I embarked on my photographic journey in 2013 by capturing music and concerts. My love and skill for photography grew into weddings and portraits. My photography style is a fusion of true-to-life colors, capturing authentic moments without relying on excessive posing or fleeting trends. I'm also drawn to the artistry of low-light portraiture, creating uniquely styled images.

Wedding decisions can be very difficult and stressful and choosing a photographer is definitely no exception! However, after speaking with Kristina for the first time, the decision became clear to us. Kristina is super easy to get along with, helpful, flexible, and professional. We didn’t have a wedding planner or coordinator, so needless to say, we were a little lost especially with important details such as day of timelines. In came Kristina to the rescue! Probably not necessarily her job, however she was so helpful with this much needed planning aspect and really helped us figure out what, where, and when things were happening and helped keep everything flowing nicely and on schedule day of. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! She was able to capture so many special moments, and it was almost like she wasn’t there at all while she was doing it. Taking pictures is not my favorite thing, however Kristina made it comfortable and easy! We were able to be ourselves while taking pictures, but also got some suggestions on cute shots and poses, which made it fun! Kristina was able to beautifully capture so many special moments throughout our day, we can’t wait to relive it all through our wedding album for many years to come. Don’t hesitate to go with Krush photography for your wedding day, you won’t regret it!

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.

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!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

We did our engagement shoot with Carly and she did an awesome job of helping two people who have never taken professional pictures together before feel comfortable and confident. Communication throughout the planning process was excellent, very responsive and even sent out tips along the way that I found extremely helpful.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t recommend Erica enough for wedding/engagement photography! My husband and I were both very nervous for engagement and wedding pictures as we are both not very comfortable in front of the camera. My husband absolutely hates getting his picture taken and was dreading all picture aspects surrounding our wedding. However, Erica listened to our fears/stress in regards to getting our pictures taken and made sure the pictures went smoothly. She has a way of making you feel comfortable even when doing something that typically makes you very uncomfortable. She has such a fun upbeat personality and showed true excitement for what she does and for us. Her photography style involves a lot of movement and capturing real/natural moments which allowed us to get so many amazing pictures that truly felt like us. I genuinely enjoyed the picture taking process with Erica and never would have imagined that would be the case. As for my husband…in all honesty I can’t say he enjoyed the process of taking pictures but he didn’t hate it -which truly is an achievement (props to you Erica). She made sure he was comfortable but gave him just the right amount of push and encouragement that he needed. Thank you for capturing our special day!

Jeron was fantastic throughout our entire engagement and wedding process! He was super communicative, professional, and knowledgeable which was a huge stress relief throughout all the planning. He did our engagement photos too as part of our package, and was even able to find us a second photographer last minute for the wedding due to our time constraints. He is a 10/10 person to work with, and we are SO happy with our photos!

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

I'm a CA based and travel wedding photographer. I've photographed almost 200 weddings, and every single one goes by so quickly. I love my job because even though the day goes by fast, I get to find and capture those small moments, sometimes just a fraction of a second long, so they can be relived over and over in photographs. I have a photojournalistic and editorial style, plus 9 years of wedding experience under my belt, so trust me that I've got it while you are able to fully enjoy your day and be present.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

What started as a method of documentation of my own life transformed into a love of capturing special moments for others. I specialize in portraits, pairs, weddings, and film. I am based out of Colorado Springs and primarily service Colorado and Chicago markets, though I'm always up for a new adventure! I love to travel for photography and take on new creative challenges.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Kirst not only captured our wedding day but also documented three additional days of our big fat Indian wedding. She consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Kirst’s communication was clear and prompt—she made sure to understand every detail of our timeline, the moments that mattered most to us, and who we are as a couple, all to perfectly showcase the love and emotion of each moment. During the events, Kirst expertly helped us set up our desired posed shots. With her artistic eye, she guided us to stunning, natural compositions that highlighted our outfits, the environment, and our emotions. Some of our favorite shots ended up being the candid ones she captured. Looking through the photos, it feels as though Kirst perfectly saw the day through our eyes. Not only is Kirst incredibly talented and professional, but she is also sweet and a true joy to have around. Beyond delivering stunning photos, she became a meaningful part of our wedding celebrations, bringing even more joy to our special days.
