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!

Hi! ​I'm Ivy, The Pic Chick! I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for about 18 years! I am from Arizona, but now live in Colorado! I am married to an awesome dude, I have 2 tiny humans! I do everything I can to make the photo experience fun and pressure-free, to help your wedding day go by in a timely manner. While you are enjoying the moments of your big day I’ll be snapping away freely, capturing the wonderful timeless memories! I'd love to meet up with you to chat more, let's grab a coffee sometime!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked The Pic Chick, Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. We live in California, and got married in the middle of nowhere Colorado, so the first time we met her was our wedding day. Her communication was always fast, cheerful and honest, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she was a pro at wrangling our family for photos and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Ivy's work is truly timeless, fun, beautiful and playful - she absolutely nailed it! We have pictures swinging on the swings and skipping through the grass and elegant photos under the trees and in front of an old church. She was even happy to help with little tasks like making sure my bouquet was arranged how I wanted it and making sure my dress looked perfect. Ivy will be your bestie and was part of our family by the end of the night! We are so grateful to have had her capture our special day. We couldn't recommend The Pic Chick more highly!

We all have a story- so here's mine! I'm Jessica, the face behind the camera. ​I don't want to bore you with my entire life story, but you should probably know something about me! I'm a self- taught professional photographer that loves to document people celebrating love just like you are about to do! There are stories to be told within the shadows, and of course within the light of every setting I choose. Every photo I snap is my interpretation of the reality happening in that very minute. The raw photos with no facial expressions or the most exaggerated ones are my favorites, and honestly- they'll be yours, too.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessica as my wedding photographer, and I couldn't be more delighted with the results. From start to finish, Jessica's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident, making for an unforgettable experience. Beyond her technical skill, Jessica's warm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. She seamlessly blended into the background, effortlessly capturing candid moments while also providing gentle guidance for posed shots.

She’s not afraid to take control of the room to get things done. I loved working with her for my engagement shoot and my wedding. I hope to work with her again in the future for my next big milestone. Her work is lovely and I could not be more pleased with how my photos turned out.

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.

Katie is AMAZING! I'm so happy and relieved we made the right pick for our wedding. She was very easy to work with, understood exactly what we were looking for and the results are better than what we expected. The pictures are beautiful, graceful, and tasteful.

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. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. 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!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should too!!!

I’m Lo, a wedding and elopement photographer creating warm, intentional imagery for couples who value connection and being fully present on their wedding day. 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).

From the moment we first reached out to MK Photography, their communication was detailed, quick, and incredibly informative. Madison felt like part of the family from the start - she was so fun to be around and genuinely helped with everything, even going above and beyond her role as a photographer, by the end of it she felt like one of my bridesmaids haha. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous, capturing all the special moments and emotions of our wedding day in a professional and artistic way. The value we received was exceptional, and MK Photography played a huge role in making our day feel so special and memorable. My whole family loved Madison, and we would recommend MK Photography to any couple looking for stunning, fun, and personalized wedding photography.

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!
