Hi! I’m David, your wedding photographer and guide for creating a unique wedding experience. Through the experience of falling in love, my passion in photography quickly developed into a passion for capturing the intimacy, love, and connection between two people in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
David was an absolute dream! He made our elopement feel like an extended date rather than a series of choppy photo sessions. He encouraged us to incorporate personal touches in our elopement that we didn’t even think of, and he was flexible enough to let me add in a few surprises for my husband the day of! I can’t stop showing people my photos and my family can’t stop asking me for more! Every photo we got was beautiful and looked like us (natural editing and personality wise) and we couldn’t recommend David more!

Lakewood, CO
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,750

Nestled in the heart of Colorado, my creative journey spans over seven vibrant years in the freelance photography world. From the dynamic realm of being featured by National Geographic, my lens has captured diverse narratives, showcasing the extraordinary in the ordinary. With over three years dedicated to immortalizing love stories through wedding films against the stunning backdrop of Colorado's landscapes, I weave emotions and moments into timeless visual tales. 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.

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.

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!

Looking for the very best in affordable wedding photography in Colorado? Look no further! Yellow Paddle does the hard work of finding the most talented and personal wedding photographers in Colorado. Don’t just take our word for it: Our Reviews speak for themselves! With Yellow Paddle you can have it all! Pick your affordable wedding package and your wedding photographer for half the price of most professional photographers. Be kind to your budget and still get amazing wedding photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin--how about with how hard it was to pick ONLY ten photos to include with this review?!? When we purchased Yellow Paddle's 1.5 photographer package, I was already over the moon. Having a second shooter, even for part of the day, was something I never dreamed I could afford, and it was so exciting to find a photography vendor where the pricing was so readily available. It's almost impossible to quantify the ways that Lan and Mike contributed to our day, and I am still in shock at how much I paid for how much we got. Yellow Paddle let us peruse all of their available photographers for our wedding date, and aside from how much we loved Lan's portfolio, there was also so much in his biography that resonated with us as a couple. From the moment we met Lan at our (incredibly well-priced) engagement session, we knew we had hit the nail on the head. Talking to him was easy, we shared tons of common interests, and despite both feeling very awkward in front of a camera, Lan captured our love and excitement with such intimacy and authenticity. Because of the connection we built at our engagement session, welcoming Lan into our getting-ready spaces was much more like greeting an old friend than meeting a wedding vendor. We didn't get to choose our second shooter with the 1.5 photographer package, but Mike was also an invaluable part of our day. My husband mentions frequently that Mike helped put him at ease just before our first look photos when he was feeling his most nervous. Lan and Mike worked well with each other, too; there wasn't any tension or stepping on each other's toes. When we got our gallery back (far sooner than the expected delivery date), we were in absolute awe. Lan and Mike delivered far above and beyond what we had ever dreamed of receiving when we started planning our wedding, and frankly above and beyond what we even expected based on Yellow Paddle's pricing/package details. From the staged family photos and accessory shots to the candids of guests and private moments between my husband and me, Lan and Mike truly captured the warmth, intimacy, love, and connection we felt throughout our special day. I am so excited to get to enjoy our photos for years and years to come. I cannot possibly recommend Yellow Paddle, and SPECIFICALLY Lan Vo, strongly enough for your wedding day.

Stephanie worked seamlessly with all our other vendors, which meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about logistics. Her kind and patient approach created a stress-free environment that let us just be present with our loved ones. We'd absolutely book her again for any future photography needs.

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.

Hey I'm Katie! "I promise that you’ll never find another like me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ohh. I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me…" (Admit it—you sang along, didn’t you?) Taylor Swift is totally onto something here: finding a photographer who can accurately showcase your love story is key. Your wedding day is about celebrating what makes your relationship unique and capturing all the feels and moments with your loved ones is part of that too.

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED Katie and are so happy we booked her as our photographer. She is personable and bubbly, so taking photos was super fun. She gets just as excited as you do. She cheers you on the whole night letting you know how cute the photos are and she even showed us a few. She had such great and fun prompts too that made the photos look so natural. My husband and I are both quite camera shy, but she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. The most important thing to us in a photographer was timeliness, and Katie delivered. She was able to get all the photos we wanted while maintaining our schedule with ease. She was super respectful and made sure our day was exactly as we wanted it. She was also super communicative and quick to respond during the planning process. She’s also just always on a roll. She got the guests seated when our officiant forgot to do it. She’s very familiar with the wedding etiquettes, and if something was off like that, she was quick to intervene. We also decided to record our ceremony last minute with a personal camera and she hit record and kept an eye on it. She was just on her game all night and it was so much fun, too. And last, of course, the photos. They’re oh so beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She captured both our engagement and wedding, and we love all the photos so much. She knew which photos we were particular excited about too and ended up putting them in the sneak peaks the day after the wedding. It was very thoughtful! She’s definitely gonna be our go to for any future photography needs. Book her!! You won’t regret it!

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.

Her guides for engagement shoots and the wedding day itself were invaluable, and her professionalism and process in hitting every major point of the occasion is done with such finesse.

Hi, I'm Angie. I'm a wedding and documentary photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I've been capturing authentic human connections and emotions since 2018. I get to meet wonderful people, travel to the most beautiful places, and document love in its rawest form. What's better than that?!

We found Angela after looking through several Colorado photographers. As a photographer herself, my wife noticed small but impactful missing elements with other photographers so she was quite picky about choosing someone who was mindful and cared to produce quality edits, not just stamp a filter on our pictures. And I wanted someone kind, organized, and affordable. Well, Angela was perfect for us. She’s so sweet! She has great systems in place to make payments, downloads, and getting information a breeze. She’s flexible and prompt. And she gives great directions to produce beautiful photos. We absolutely, 100% recommend her for your wedding, elopement, boudoir shoot, or whatever other photography need you have!

My goal is to deliver timeless photos that let you step right back into how your wedding day felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend hiring David as your photographer!!! We had hired him as our wedding photographer for 120 guests in August! He was very communicative throughout the whole process, starting with initial meetings on understanding what our vision of our day was— highlighting what would be the important things to us to photograph, especially as we had a very religious ceremony. On the day of our wedding, he brought so much warmth and ease into the busy day! He was very assertive to direct our large family and bridal party during photos and was very creative/directive in all of our poses. I absolutely loved how he was with us the whole day, being behind the scenes but guiding what we do, very friendly, strongly professional, and all of his photos came back to us ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! They were such high quality and immensely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend having David be apart of your biggest day, you will not regret his craftsmanship and partnership.

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).

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! We plan on working with Madison for every chapter in the future and you should too. Investing in her work was the best choice I made -A 2024 Bride

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. 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’m an inclusive intimate wedding and elopement photographer home based in Colorado but living nomadically for the 2026 season! 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

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Lindsey's communication throughout the planning process was perfect - she was always very clear about what information she needed from me, and her reminder emails were extremely helpful in keeping me organized and on track. I've only received photo previews so far, but even those are stunning. Lindsey's attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, and I could not be happier with our choice of photographer. On the wedding day itself, Lindsey meshed incredibly well with all of our guests and brought a fun, relaxed energy that made the formal photo sessions fly by smoothly. The photos feel vibrant, organic and full of joy. I can't recommend Through Lindsey's Lens highly enough for wedding photography!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.
