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!

I could not be more thrilled with our choice in photographer than Sound Originals! The quality of shots we received from our wedding were stunning, and that is entirely thanks to Kevin. He was so great at working with us to create beautiful, posed shots, but my favorite photos of the night are those were he captured the live moments of joy. Having the ability to have multiple editing styles was so amazing as it led to some beautifully crafted shots with unique lighting.

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
My husband and I were very happy to find photography in our budget through Yellow Paddle. I didn’t really interact with the company at all, but Mark and Santana were both excellent. Our primary photographer was Mark Whitrock. He did our engagement photos and our wedding. He suggested a beautiful location for our engagement photos and they turned out great. He used both film and digital which was not something we had an opinion on, but we really loved how the film ones turned out. Mark had good suggestions for posing and was also happy to try out our ideas. He was easy to get a hold of over text as well as having a phone call with us right before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. He was respectful, approachable, timely and easy to work with. We love how the outdoor photos from our wedding turned out, they were true to life in style/color. He also caught some candid shots that I hadn’t thought of which were a nice surprise. Santana Garcia was our second shooter and his work is stunning. His editing style was not something I was particularly looking for but I’m in love with how the photos turned out. The style and lighting is beautiful and the vividness of red (our wedding color) still came through. I didn’t communicate with him directly before the wedding, but he was timely, easy to work with, and brought some of his own ideas which we appreciated. He caught detail shots at both the ceremony and the reception I hadn’t thought to ask for. Dancing was a big and important part of our reception and he did an amazing job capturing crisp, beautiful photos of people in motion in dimmer lighting. We had a panicked moment the night before where we realized we wanted the ceremony to be recorded (not edited or anything special, just captured) and Mark and Santana made it happen for us which was truly above and beyond their jobs and meant a lot to us.

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
Ivy has photographed four major life events for my family now. From our engagement to wedding to maternity to newborn photos, she captured so many of our most important memories that we can treasure forever so beautifully. In planning a wedding with a goal of staying under Colorado’s average wedding cost, I was deep in the Internet and Instagram profiles looking for a photographer that was affordable without sacrificing quality. I found two and was leaning more toward Ivy anyway, but blindly showed my fiancé at the time samples of the two photographers’ portfolios. He immediately chose Ivy’s without knowing anything about who the photographer was, cost, or any other details. He gave the reasoning that her photos were so vibrant and real-looking and he wanted our days captured in the same way. As soon as we got on the phone for our consultation call with Ivy, we immediately clicked. She then made us feel so comfortable in the engagement session and we really got to get to know each other in preparation for our big wedding day. She then requested the wedding day schedule and even helped us make decisions to build that schedule based on not only what would give us the best photo opportunities but also what would work better for us based on what she knew and getting to know us. Because she has so much experience and cares so deeply about her clients, she actually doubled as a second wedding coordinator for the day-of. She made the day flow so stress-free and took a lot of responsibility upon herself to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. Her portfolio speaks for itself as far as photography quality, her abilities, and capturing the best moments, but it’s the personal touch that you don’t get to see in her portfolio at earns her the highest five star rating. Even in the shoots outside of our wedding, she was so gentle and patient with our dogs and newborn baby, putting us so ease in what could have been stressful situations prepping for a photo session. I want to yell from the mountain tops that everybody should trust Ivy when looking for a photographer for those important moments. If you’re reading this review in order to select a photographer, you can go ahead and just book her now. After the most important photo shoots of our lives over the past year I can promise you that you won’t regret it.

Thornton, CO
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $8,500

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 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.

I’m a mother of two little girls and a wife to a loving and supportive husband. I've got my hands full with my beautiful girls Chloe and Iris who keep me feeling young. I feel so lucky and blessed that my girls enjoy being models and my inspiration. I can't imagine doing what I do without my family as they inspire me to capture the moments we want to remember.

We specifically wanted a photographer with a bright, editorial style to match our elegant Bridgerton-themed wedding, and Judy was our top pick from day one. She was the first vendor on site and jumped into action immediately. Under her direction, we got some truly stunning shots that showed everyone at their best. She made sure we got our golden hour photos, covered nearly everything on our shot list, and went above and beyond all day — including fixing my veil and carrying my dress without being asked. We had gorgeous sneak peeks back in four days. Cannot wait to see the full gallery.

From our first conversation, Stephanie from Stephanie Mathena Photography proved to be responsive and easy to work with.

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
One of the most important wedding elements for me and my now husband was the photography. We were immediately drawn to Amy's natural but bold, candid and fun style, as well as her transparent pricing. She was great to communicate with from the very beginning, answering all of our very detailed questions almost a year before our wedding even took place. And on the day itself? She was incredible! My husband and the groomsmen got into an accident on their way to the venue, which obviously stressed him out on top of significantly delaying our first look. Amy helped calm him down to bring him back to the moment and found unplanned pockets of time during the wedding to take some more pictures of just us. We were so impressed with how much she covered without a second photographer—even our guests commented on how she seemed to be everywhere at once! She has such a knack for capturing the fleeting, special moments, and for making people feel comfortable right off the bat. Finally, we were also amazed at the turnaround on the pictures. Amy had sneak peaks ready for us only 2 days after our wedding, and we had the rest about 5 1/2 weeks later. We had many newlywed friends this year who were waiting much longer for any pictures at all. We can't recommend Amy enough!

Christine went so far above and beyond we still can’t stop talking about how awesome she was. From our first conversation to our big day, she never missed a beat. I had an entire Pinterest album of shots I forgot to show her, and somehow she managed to capture all of them and then some!? We had 2 coordinators day of and she still outshined them BOTH. She came equipped with a tool kit & simultaneously eased all of my stressors. I can only speak highly of her as a human as well as her editing style.

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).

I cannot recommend Madison enough—she’s seriously THE BEST! 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

She was also just lovely to work with, made us laugh so many times, and was so incredibly accommodating of our chaos. The photo previews we got had us both crying because they were so beautiful. We HIGHLY recommend her and cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you Lindsey!!!!
