I don't even know if I have the words.... We feel SO LUCKY to have hired you. I went into our engagement session feeling nervous and self-conscious and awkward. You guys made both of us feel comfortable and that session turned out to be so much fun! Those portraits came out beautifully! Then, oh the wedding! I could not have asked for a better overall experience as far as the photography went. We loved having you there. There were moments I completely forgot you were around and alas! We have photos you took without us noticing. From the most special moments to the silly, fun, dance floor pics - you captured so many memories for us and our family and friends. We can't thank you enough for that!! BUT... the icing on the cake. When you guys said "Do you want to go get storm pics?" we had no idea what was in store. We still can't believe how amazing those lightning shots are! Everyone we show them to gasp. Thank you thank you thank you for making this part of our life together so beautiful and for capturing so much for us. After all of that, we couldn't fathom considering anyone else for senior portraits! Caleb's are as amazing as we knew they would be and we can't wait to see Ian's next year! I'll be reaching out for some professional headshots at some point and have recommended you to EVERYONE we know is looking for a photographer. We can't fully express our gratitude. We would not have changed a thing.

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.

The top 3 parts of our wedding weekend: 1) getting married 2) seeing our friends and family 3) Alex We had multiple family members and friends ask us if Alex was just one of our friends because he not only got all of the incredible photos he did and knew when to blend in, he also was friendly and kind to all of our bridal party, family, and guests, and excited to give us the best day possible. We had been recommended Alex by our engagement photographer and had never met him in person until wedding day but he fit right into the fold and knew exactly who we were and what we wanted. We had almost zero suggestions for photos, we already knew we trusted Alex from having spoken a few times prior to the wedding and seen his other photos and just let him tell us (of course enthusiastically because this is how Alex operates) where to go and how to get the best photos. Unlike other photographers, he also stayed with us as long as we needed instead of giving us a specific hour time limit which was incredibly helpful given you never know how your wedding day will go. He’s not only fantastic at his job, but also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. My husband broke his collarbone in the weeks leading up to our wedding and once Alex heard he sent us a gift card for food delivery because he knew how difficult those weeks were. We are so happy that we chose him to be our wedding photographer and you will have zero regrets if you do the same. Alex is the best!

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

Hey there, I'm Tatiana! I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Colorado, though I love to travel all over for my clients. I'm a lover of animals, tattoos, writing, and all things fantasy, especially The Lord of The Rings. I love to talk about dogs (they're amazing, okay?) and will tell you all about my rescue, Rhaegar, who wears pajamas and has learned how to skillfully wrap himself up like a burrito with our fuzziest blankets when it snows if you let me. I am also the biggest The Airborne Toxic Event fan and there's a pretty good chance they're who I'm rocking out to on my way to your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are no words to explain how amazing Tatiana's work is! They responded quickly every time I reached out, along with providing recommendations on outfits and locations. The quality and style of the pictures are unmatchable. We used Silver Mountain Photography for both our engagement pictures and elopement coverage, and I could not be happier with the communication, pictures, and overall package. Tatiana made my "picture hating" husband LOVE doing shoots because of their knowledge of poses, encouragement, and overall fun vibe throughout the entire shoot. When I say we are obsessed with our pictures, I mean OBSESSED. We will certainly be using Tatiana in the future for photo shoots. 100/10 recommend!!

Alanna was a joy to work with! She was great at communicating in the months and weeks leading up to my clients' wedding, and made sure we were both on the same page. She was punctual on the wedding day and did an amazing job of sticking with the schedule and getting everyone photographed in the allotted time. She was also friendly, fun, and had a sense of calm (which is essential for any wedding professional!). She had the complete photo gallery ready just a few days after the wedding, and her photos were beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with Alanna again!

Hey, I’m Kristina—photographer, storyteller, and your go-to person for capturing wedding days that feel as incredible as they look. I’ve spent years photographing everything from live music to adventure travel, and now, I bring that same energy, artistry, and realness to wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Krush Photography was our absolute saving grace on our wedding day. Every bride’s worst nightmare came true for us when our hired photographer arrived solo—no second shooter—leaving us in a panic knowing our day truly required two photographers. In the middle of getting her hair done, Kristina saw a random Facebook post desperately calling for a photographer to jump in and help. Without hesitation, she responded, sprang into action, and came straight to our wedding—already behind schedule—ready to step in and save the day. And save the day she did. If it weren’t for her, we would not have half of the beautiful memories captured in our wedding gallery. Kristina was kind, supportive, understanding, and exactly the calm we needed amidst the storm created by our hired photographer. We cannot thank her enough for stepping in for us, even though we were not her clients to begin with. She knew our ceremony location like the back of her hand, which was an incredible relief since we were getting married out of state. While our original photographer claimed she would handle the research, she was completely unprepared—but Kristina’s familiarity with the area, including the best back roads and lighting spots, was invaluable. She truly saved the day. From her professionalism to her warmth, Krush Photography went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. If you are even thinking about hiring a photographer, look no further—Kristina is the one you need. She is more than a photographer; she’s a hero, a lifesaver, and an absolute joy to work with. During unforeseen and stressful circumstances, she didn’t just step up—she went above and beyond, capturing every moment beautifully. There’s truly no one else who could do what she did for us. Hire her. You won’t regret it.

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.

Her expertise in herding my family was greatly appreciated and we cannot recommend her enough!

Our wedding would not have been the same without her :)

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Jeff was super easy to work with, we just had a few video calls before the big day. During our wedding he and his team captured the full ceremony and reception videos as we'd asked, including all the details and kind words that friends had for us. I was really happy with the final product and thought it was documentary worthy to share with relatives overseas who couldnt make it in person.

With 6+ years of being in the wedding industry, I believe the best images are the ones that you can truly connect with; Where you can FEEL the affection, the tenderness, and you get those joyful, tingly feelings when you look back at those moments. I take a candid, documentary, and true-to-color approach to photography. I bring my creative eye, positive attitude, and caring personality to every experience you'll have with me from this moment to the day you receive your final images. You deserve to have a wedding gallery you’re obsessed with AND an incredible experience from start to finish.

Emily is the kind of photographer who becomes part of your story, not just someone hired to document it. She spent not one but two birthdays with us. Her birthday happens to fall on our wedding day, and a year before we actually got married, we booked our engagement session with her on that same date. From that very first session, Emily and her team made us feel completely at ease. They were warm, fun to be around, and genuinely great at what they do. The sneak peeks we have seen so far have been absolutely stunning. Emily's communication throughout the entire process was responsive and professional, and her eye for capturing moments, both posed and candid, gave us complete confidence going into the wedding day. But the moment that will stick with me forever? During our final venue walkthrough about a month before the wedding, Emily overheard me ask my wedding planner to keep sour candy on hand in case my anxiety flared up on the day. She never made a big deal of it in the moment. But on our wedding day, she told me that she and her entire team would all be carrying candy for me, just in case. Every single one of them had remembered. That is not something you can train someone to do. That is just who Emily is. If you want a photographer who will make you feel seen, taken care of, and completely yourself in front of the camera, book Emily. You will not regret it.

My name is Markie and I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Denver, Colorado, but no destination is too far especially if it's to bring two people together! I want to not only be your photographer but also be your friend! I'm here to help you pick out an outfit for your engagement session, give you the pros and cons of having a first look, and even be here for you when you pull out that gallon ice cream from your freezer and pour yourself a glass of wine because wedding planning is stressful! I know exactly how it feels because that was me last week while planning my wedding!

Markie was the gem of our wedding day. When she arrived at my get-ready space, it felt like the arrival of an old friend. We got married in 2020 and our reception venue was canceled a week before our day. We ended up having our reception in our back garage! Markie pivoted perfectly and helped make our day feel so easy. I'm so comfortable with her, we have so much fun, and she genuinely enjoys her clients. We've done several family photo sessions with her now and she absolutely delights in our daughters. They love her and it makes photos with toddlers so easy! At this point, we consider her a friend. She knows the most beautiful corners of Denver and perfectly captures the spirit of your day. She can even pull real smiles out of my camera-hating husband! We will ALWAYS choose Markie, no matter what the occasion!

I am so happy we hired them to capture the most magical day of our lives. Nick and his team were beyond comparable to anyone else. They captured everything we wanted, without being overbearing. They kept their distance when needed, they took control when needed, they had a great schedule set yet it didn't feel rigid. It was so fun and comfortable hanging with them all day. I cannot say enough good things about them. They also had a cool, new and modern photo booth that we added that everyone loved. Nick went above and beyond throughout this entire process and the amount of work and effort he puts in to this is worth every penny. Do not look anywhere else, you found your photographer in Nick.

Her work balances natural emotion with intentional composition, creating photographs that feel elevated yet authentic. From the Rocky Mountains to the New England coast, her approach remains the same: relaxed, thoughtful, and centered on the couple.

Charlotte was the photographer for my small 25-person wedding, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was communicative, helpful, and made me feel so excited and confident about the entire process. On the wedding day, she blended in seamlessly while still guiding us with posing when we needed it. She made everything feel easy and natural, which meant so much to me. We received our photos much sooner than expected, and I was absolutely in love with them. They were exactly what I had hoped for and captured the day so beautifully.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I specialize in capturing real moments with bright, bold, natural images. My goal is to help make your wedding day the best it can be and ensure that you have a meaningful, memorable, FUN wedding day to start a lifelong adventure. Being a wedding photographer is the best job ever, but when I'm not working, you can usually find me outside doing something like hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling, or taking landscape photos.

Abby was absolutely phenomenal and we have only great things to say about her. We love her bright and sunny editing style, and on top of that she is friendly and professional- all highlights of working with her. She communicated well and she's clearly very committed to helping make your wedding day go smoothly- she even shares a worksheet that has several sample wedding day timelines, and a guide to planning the day of the wedding (these were lifesavers). There is enough to worry about with the entire process of planning a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry at all about anything photography related because Abby was so on top of things. On wedding day itself, Abby seamlessly joined the party and as a result, got so many great shots of our ceremony, and candids of our family and friends that really capture the joy and love that we felt on our wedding day. I keep getting SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding pictures came out, and how you can truly feel the fun through those pictures. We cannot emphasize enough how much we love Abby!! We whole heartedly recommend 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 met Julie of June Moon Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Her relaxed and fun-loving personality immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident she would capture the essence of our special day. True to our instincts, the photos she delivered were absolutely stunning - beautifully emotive, candid, and timeless. Julie was a joy to work with, expertly directing the group to ensure we got all the shots we wanted before the gorgeous sunset faded. The finished product was nothing short of spectacular, and we are overjoyed to have such cherished memories to look back on. We highly recommend June Moon Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

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.

We happened to know Jonathan already because of his work as an aerospace engineering student (yes, the guy is a genius). Turns out, he's also a genius with photography! I can't get enough of looking at our wedding photos, they are spectacular. His editorial eye is superb, you'd think he'd been doing this for decades. He's also a genuinely great person and fun to hang out with while you're getting ready and taking all of those pre-ceremony photos where it's just the 3 of your for a few hours. He kept things light and even helped out setting up the chairs for the ceremony when we first arrived at the venue because the chair rental company lapsed in doing that (a story for another review). We cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough! And no, it's not weird to ask him to take pictures of your wedding food (because we did). You'll be surprised how much you enjoy seeing the spread when you revisit the day.

Growing up in Colorado, I’ve always been drawn to the mountains and the unknown, but just as much to the quiet, grounded moments—the warmth of home, the people who know you best, and the stories that are passed down over time. I believe there is purpose in those contrasts—between the wild and the familiar—and I see them as reminders of the beauty in both exploration and rest. Because of my faith in God, I see these moments as more than memories—they are gifts, woven with meaning and intention. And one day, these images will become part of your legacy—how you’re remembered, and how your story lives on. I’d be honored to tell it.

We were nervous about being in front of the camera before our wedding, but Alysa from Kindred and Hearth Studio put us at ease right away. During our engagement shoot, she had a relaxed way of working with us that made everything feel natural and comfortable. She didn't just tell us how to pose—she helped guide us while capturing our genuine moments, which ended up being our favorite photos. When our wedding day came, we felt confident in front of the camera thanks to that experience with her. The final images are stunning with bright, natural lighting that shows off every detail perfectly. We couldn't be happier with Kindred and Hearth Studio and would recommend Alysa to any couple feeling nervous about their photos.

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!
