Working with Sound Originals for photography and videography was a great experience! We had two photographers and a videographer, Kevin was the lead photographer, Jennifer was the secondary photographer, and Ben was the videographer. They showed up on time and got right into detail shots, and then were very efficient and knowledgeable for first looks, bridal party, and family photos. Throughout the night I hardly noticed they were there and they got many super fun photos of the reception! We got almost 1600 pictures back and anxiously await our highlight video! We chose to get our photos in all three editing styles, but timeless was ultimately our favorite! Very happy with our experience and with the final product we got back! -Cassidy and Michael

Hi I'm David! Professional Wedding Photographer, part-time snowboard bum, proud Dog Dad, and husband to my wonderful wife, Phoebe. I started White Umbrella Photography for the same reason most people would start their own business, to pursue my passion and experience more out of life. And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments for so many awesome couples. I've laughed, shouted for joy, and even cried for a lot of the couples I've worked with, all from behind the camera. I really do find myself smiling ear to ear after each wedding, being reminded of how rad it is to love, and to be loved in return.

From the first consultation phone call I had with David I gained great confidence in him. He took the time to answer all my questions, and jot down my ideas. He wanted to learn about each of us in greater detail so he could capture our personalities in the photos. David didn’t pose us and make us feel like statues. He effortlessly caught candid interactions and each photo makes you relive the moment all over again. The high resolution in each photo is of the utmost quality and the quantity shared exceeded my expectations, too! David has been an absolute gem to work with and I’d recommend his services to anyone.

Nestled in the heart of Colorado, my creative journey spans over seven vibrant years in the freelance photography world.

Each frame is a testament to a passion for storytelling and an eye for detail that transcends conventional boundaries, leaving a lasting imprint on every project I undertake.

Awarded Best of Zola
Coming from Ohio to Colorado without ever having visited before, we were overwhelmed trying to plan an elopement from afar. Choosing Tommy as our photographer was, hands down, the best decision we made. He not only scouted the most breathtaking locations, but brought calm to our chaos, warmth to our nerves, and somehow even won over our dogs instantly. From the first moment to the final shot, Tommy made us feel completely at ease. His energy is positive, grounding, and exactly what you want on a day that means everything. And then there are the photos—stunning, professional, full of life and emotion. We’ll treasure them forever. Thank you, Tommy, for giving us more than pictures, you gave us a gift we’ll hold close for the rest of our lives.

I love to be outside, and combined with my passion for emotive imagery and getting to know your story, I adore what I get to do for my work. I focus on capturing the intimate, authentic moments of your story and weave them into a series that is casually joyfully you. With a background in travel and documentary photography, previously working in international non profit storytelling, my style speaks to those looking for the organic story with the greatest value being in experiences over things.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rose is the most incredible photographer I have ever worked with! She has such an eye for capturing the beautiful little details that mean so much on your wedding day. We got married in a standard ceremony with reception afterwards, which she shot just perfectly. She also did our engagement photo shoot which we loved! There were so many times looking through our wedding gallery where I was pleasantly surprised she had captured a specific moment during our wedding and reception, as I hadn't even noticed she was there taking a picture! She has such an eye for the little interactions between family members. She is also so skilled at incorporating movement into your photos so they aren't just standard posed pictures (which she can also do beautifully) but instead photos of my husband and I running through a field/walking around/him twirling me, etc. Truly cannot get over how beautiful our wedding photos are - all thanks to Rose! She is also a breath of fresh air to have nearby throughout the day - there was a lot of stress and activity going on and she was such a calming presence. 10/10 recommend Rose as your wedding or elopement photographer! Well worth the money to have these photos you will look at and remember the day for the rest of your life.

Specializing in outdoor weddings and adventurous engagements, we thrive in the beauty of the natural world—whether it’s mountaintop vows, forest elopements, or sunset kisses in wide-open fields. That said, we also have a deep love for indoor ceremonies—intimate, candle-lit, or elegant and grand—each one bringing its own kind of magic. With a candid, timeless approach to photography, we’re here to capture the real stuff: the laughter, the tears, the stolen glances, and everything in between. Our goal is simple—to make you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated from the first hello to the final frame.

My husband and I are both camera shy. Vinnie made us completely comfortable and it was a wonderful experience working with him. I feel all photographers can take the typical posed photos but Vinnie was able to capture the candid moments where our personalities and relationship really shined thru. I highly recommend Vinnie!

Stephanie was FANTASTIC. Especially as a first time bride you don’t want to be worrying about other people doing their jobs. You want someone who will lead and provide direction. We never met in person prior to the wedding and I was a bit nervous about how comfortable I’d feel in front of the camera but her warm and playful demeanor quickly dissolved my nervousness. Stephanie snagged the best shots that captured so much play, love, and joy. I loved that she sent me ALL the pictures. There’s so many I love that I would’ve lost out on if I were limited to a certain amount.

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

Bethany from Elevate (with the help of Emily) photographed our wedding in November 2024, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. As the bride, I really wanted the focus of our photos to be genuine, expressive moments that truly reflected what the day felt like—and WOW, they absolutely nailed it. The images are bursting with emotion, laughter, and love, capturing the energy and spirit of our celebration so beautifully. I’m a very expressive person (my face shows everything I’m feeling), and some of my favorite photos are the candid ones—pure joy on my face, my husband’s, our families’, and our guests’. Looking back through them takes me right back to that day, and I just can’t stop smiling. Bethany perfectly documented everything—from the vibe of the venue, to the ceremony, to sweet little moments between loved ones, to wedding party portraits. Every shot feels intentional yet natural. Even when we ran a little behind schedule, Bethany stayed calm, kind, and supportive—never once adding stress. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and totally present. Most of the time, I barely even noticed the camera. Bethany and Emily blended right in, capturing everything organically rather than staging or directing too much. It honestly felt like having two close friends there, cheering us on. I couldn’t have picked a better team to document such a meaningful day.

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever.

With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

I am a Denver, CO based photographer with an inclination to travel. I am constantly inspired by new environments and experiences which I consider each wedding day to be. I've been in the wedding industry for 7+ years and no two wedding days have been the same and in my opinion, that's how it should be, as no two couple's story are the same. I picked up a camera at age 18 and just have yet to set it down at age 26. My aussie, Dixie, has been with me every step of the way and loves to travel herself. I am a hard core foodie and will try anything at least once (as will Dixie).

I cannot recommend Madison enough—she’s seriously THE BEST! From the moment we started chatting about my wedding to the day of, she showed up with her sweet and chill vibe and made everything feel so easy and natural, even when the day was *chaos*. She has such an amazing eye and captured literally all the little moments I didn’t even know I’d want to remember (like our pups or that sweet look my husband gave me during the first dance). The photos are beyond stunning—Pinterest-worthy, dreamy, and exactly how I pictured them. If you’re thinking about booking her, just full send it. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!

My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

I was most recently learning how to make chocolate from bean to bar on the Caribe coast of Costa Rica! I travel to ALL 50 states as well as internationally! Let's alchemize your love into art, it is safe here with me <3

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.
