I have been obsessed with the look in a person's eyes when they look at the one they love, and the way a father looks when he passes his daughter on to her new husband since the first wedding I attended. I am here to bring your vision to life, and to have a little fun at the same time. If I am not at a wedding I am probably in the mountains somewhere eating ice cream and spending time with my boyfriend and our two dogs. I'm based out of Colorado but travel everywhere. I love chicken nuggets, a good book, art museums, ice cream, Snoop Dogg and colored bridal gowns.

We worked with Tyler Paige Photography on a wedding last year and I was absolutely blown away by the photographs that we got back. Not only was the love of the couple so perfectly captured, but we received so many gorgeous photos of our flowers!

I cannot express how amazing Angela was. She has not only a super warm personality. But also an amazing work ethic. I got the package for two photographers and they were both phenomenal. While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience. She was one of the people who made my wedding less stressful!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Fox & Fig Photography for our wedding, their communication was phenomenal and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.

Thanks for checking out Gesina Marie Photography. I earned my Bachelors in Art History and Photography from the University of Colorado. I would describe my style of photographing as candid, with editorial sprinkled in. Smiles should be natural, not forced, and weddings should be about getting marries, not a photoshoot. My photos capture the natural emotions and fleeting in-between moments of every wedding. From small glances at each other to the chocolate covered ring bearer, I want my photos to tell a story, your story.

Gigi was incredible. Even before we'd booked, our initial meeting with her felt effortless, easy, thoughtful, and she is so deeply considerate of our experience as the couple for all of it - and she's hyper organized to boot! Her turnaround time is super clear - we got sneak peeks within a week (already wildly impressive) and fully turned around photos in 6 weeks! The photos speak for themselves - they're really, really beautiful - but honestly what made her so special was how she made us feel throughout the whole day. She was one of the people we spent the most time with, and it genuinely just felt great the entire time. Never forced, never rushed, just present and warm and clearly loving what she does (and making us feel like models the whole time!). You want someone like that with you on your wedding day, and we were SO LUCKY to have her!!!! Full gallery if you want: https://gesinamariephotography.pixieset.com/joahmontserrat-1/highlights/

I believe photographs feel like memory- honest, atmospheric, and beautifully intentional. With over a decade of experience,I approach every celebration with a balance of editorial direction and unobtrusive documentary storytelling. My work is shaped by light, movement, composition and human connection. I create images that feel cinematic, yet intimate... elegant yet emotional... refined yet real. Each couple receives a tailored experience, full creative direction, and a gallery designed to become part of their legacy.

We chose Austin Thomas Studio to be our wedding photographers and could not be happier with the results. From our very first interaction, the owner Austin was incredibly attentive, proactive, warm, and personable. Her communication style put us at ease and made the entire process feel seamless. The quality of their work is simply stunning - they have an incredible eye for detail and their cinematography skills captured the beauty of our special day in a way that exceeded our expectations. Austin got all the shots I wanted, plus some I didn't even know I needed, and I never had to worry about the photography because she thought of everything. Austin has a rare mixture of professionalism and personability that made working with her an absolute pleasure. We highly recommend Austin Thomas Studio to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will deliver beautiful, high-quality photos that you'll treasure forever.

We create classic, timeless images you'll love for the rest of your life. We do this by taking everything about YOU into account when we take your photo. Your wedding photos tell the story of your life to yourselves and future generations, so they should be authentic and timeless, as well as document every moment and detail of your day.

I can't say enough good things about Libby!! She is professional, experience, and thoughtful with her opinions. She is kind, creative, and has an absolute eye for beauty. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out - both the quality and the quantity. Not having to be limited to hours or # of shots, we were able to really be ourselves and in the moment, which resulted in the best photos we could have asked for. Libby was open to all sorts of crazy ideas we had for our photos, and even followed us down to (and photographed beautifully) our wedding in Belize. We are so thankful that we got connected with Libby and Caleb, and even more thankful that we are now able to count them as friends. Thank you for turning us into art!! Thank you!!

I love capturing the moments that aren't posed or planned but that are special and YOU. I want you to be able to FEEL something when you look at my images. Your special day is unique and should be captured in a way that makes you remember every little moment as it was.

Macie is seriously the best photographer I have worked with!! She did our engagement photos and will be doing our wedding this upcoming month. Honestly, I’ve never met a more talented photographer. We felt SO natural and comfortable within seconds of meeting her. So excited to see how our wedding photos turn out! Thank you Macie!

I graduated with a degree in photography but the most important thing I gained from college was a group of friends I can call on for a mental health check. I'm "the baby" of a very large Mexican-Puerto Rican family. I'm a traveler and lover of experiencing cultures and food. My passion for people and their stories has been the drive behind my business. While photography has taken over much of my life other things that bring me joy are summer BBQs with my very large family, a cocktail by the pool or planning our next vacation. I enjoy having conversations that go deep - those that make up the story of who we are today.

Awarded Best of Zola
We clicked with Yaz when we had our first consultation call with her. She is very down to earth and willing to work with your physical insecurities to help you feel confident in your own skin. We did engagements photos, a boudoir session, bridal portraits, and our wedding day all with Yaz. With each new session together, we felt our comfort level with her and her camera increasing. Despite a hectic start to our wedding day, Yaz was able to not miss a beat and still get as many pictures on our shot list as she could. With almost every photo session we received “sneak peeks” in about a week and the full gallery about a month after the session. 10000% recommend Photos by Yaz; she is absolutely amazing!!!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Based in the mountains of Colorado, we work with couples who value a fun and genuine time. Our calm and professional approach allows you and your loved ones to be present and confident that every detail is captured for you to relive later.

Lanz Photography has been amazing! Their communication style is really fast and communicative - the process has been incredibly easy and smooth so far, even just for our engagement session. The quality of their work is simply beautiful and unique; every photo they captured was my favorite. We weren't sure if we wanted to use the photos for our save-the-dates, but the results were absolutely stunning. Working with Heather and Blake was a ton of fun - they're so nice and knowledgeable, and by the end of our session, my fiancé felt totally comfortable in front of the camera (he had been dreading it beforehand). We're thrilled to have them shooting our wedding next year and can't wait to see the results. Our photos were ready so fast, and we're over the moon with our experience with Lanz Photography so far. They've taken a huge weight off our wedding planning process.

I enjoy having a nice glass of wine which luckily involves being in amazing company (even if it’s just the dogs and I). Eating tacos a least once a week is a standard in our house.

I used to plan weddings and when it came to my own I wanted the best. Now, we are not from Denver so I was unable to use any of my normal vendors but when we found Amanda from Belle Vie Photography in 2019 about 25 days before the date of our elopement, I knew from the moment I first spoke to her I was in good hands. She provided florist suggestions, picked up my flowers for me on her way to the ceremony and helped me, the bridezilla, immediately feel relaxed because she came in and took control in the way that only a talented and seasoned photographer can do. Her photos are amazing and she has very reasonable turn around times for edits. She will work with you during edits to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. She absolutely goes above and beyond for all of her clients. She was so good we used her for our family photos in Texas a year later, because yes folks, she travels! I highly recommend that you do not fail at life and hire her immediately to photograph not only your wedding but all of your special moments!!

I’m a full time wedding photographer, mom and wife residing in Colorado. My heart beats loudly for intimate weddings and elopements. I love food & adventure and most importantly I love Jesus and people and I can’t wait to capture the best parts of this world – your love and the space around it. I have been a photographer for 8 years. I LOVE what I do.. I love real moments. The laugh so hard you can hardly breathe and snort kind of moments. The kind of moments that give you butterflies and the “in-beween” moments when you think no one is watching. I want to take those moments and make history in your life. Lets make history together.

From the moment we first connected with Kind Honey Photography, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographers. Their communication style was clear and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was absolutely amazing - Kim went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our day. She was so intentional about making sure we got the portraits we wanted, and even helped me get a rogue pin out of my wedding dress that was poking me! I absolutely love how our wedding photos turned out, and Kim was a pleasure to work with. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication to her craft made her an invaluable part of our wedding day.

  • Serves Platteville, CO

The greek myth from which the phrase “halcyon days” is derived, is one of great love ending in a time of joy and calm. A euphoric recollection of the past and an optimistic reverence for the future. Echo denotes a feeling of resonance and return. Because our memories and dreams are almost never linear-they are organic-abstracted from reality and, often, largely defined by touch, scent and, of course, sight. My hope is to create imagery that will reflect the deepest of fully felt emotion from this day, back to you. Working with analog & digital processes from Denver, Colorado.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Karly! She was more than helpful when it came to all of our photography needs. She worked with our crazy schedule while running around Yosemite National Park. She delivered when it came to final edits. Make sure you get the extra final edits, trust me you will want all of them! Thank you a million times for making our special day the MOST special!

I’m Sydney! Photographer, planner, hiker, and stylist. I’m here to handle all the big parts of your day (recommend locations, vendors + provide elopement guides) so that you can just show up and get married! Your elopement day should be everything you want it to be. I will invest in YOU long before your wedding day. You’re getting a friend, someone who understands your needs, and someone who helps you prepare for your wedding. So let’s climb mountains, drink beers, and hang with your pups! I can’t wait to help create a day that allows you to connect with each other and nature.

Amazing would be an understatement. From day one of meeting with Sydney her professionalism was on point. Sydney was so helpful and accommodating all the way through. Her attention to detail was incredible. On our special day she truly ensured that our day was seamless. Being professional is one thing, but being personable is a true talent in itself. my (now) husband and I felt like we had known Sydney for years. Our experience was a dream. We couldn’t recommend her enough.
