Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

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.

We were so impressed with David as our photographer! He was great when we had our meeting before and amazing on the day! We had a lot of disappointments with our wedding but David was 100% our favorite vendor. We are in love with the photos we got back, the editing was beautiful and we are so glad to have so many special moments captured. HIGHLY recommend!!

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.

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.

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.

For decades photography has brought Amanda great joy, and a long career in the service industry, and sales, created a well balanced human. She is very much aware of the stress that accompanies planning a wedding, and even elopements can make you want to pour yourself an adult beverage. Amanda makes the process painless from the first meeting, engagement session, until your day of celebrations. She is here not only as your hired professional, but as a sounding bored, and sometimes counselor, to all her amazing clients. Amanda Baker Photography is an inclusive photo studio. We believe in equality for all. Love is love.

Amanda takes absolutely amazing photos. We love when we get galleries back of our flowers that are clear and make it feel like you're right there holding them, and that is what we got back from Amanda. She is also awesome to work with!

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.

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Colorado, USA. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy was very responsive and accommodating to our micro wedding. I believe I found her on Zola and was very happy to see that she travels to our state for photography sessions and she was familiar with the area. My partner and I were looking for someone to "go with the flow" as we didn't have much planned. Amy balanced our lack of directions with her obvious expertise, helping to capture our day in the most natural way. A guest later commented, "your photographer was good because I never knew my picture was being taken!" In a group of 20 people, that's a skill. We received our photos back exactly on time and I would recommend Amy to anyone. We're so fortunate to have had her capture the memories of our day.

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.

From our initial introductory phone call, I was beyond impressed with Bethany at Elevate. She was so prepared and walked me through things even our wedding coordinator had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I had a couple questions that came up when ordering our album and McCory was quick to respond and unbelievably helpful. Elevate is just simply the best. Stop looking - hire Elevate now!

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.

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!!

My approach is calm, people-focused, and storytelling-driven—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while preserving the emotion, movement, and meaningful details that make it yours. 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!

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).

Madison is the absolute best! She captured my bridal and wedding photos and all of the pictures turned out amazing! I was pretty nervous for my bridal photos but she was really helpful with posing and making it not feel awkward and they turned out great! As for the wedding photos, I don’t think anything could top the pictures she took! She’s truly amazing at what she does! I am so glad I reached out to her for my wedding! The pictures all turned out perfect and she was also very organized throughout the planning process as well. She shares tips and things I likely wouldn’t have thought of leading up to the big day!

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!
