Forest Picture Company

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Vail, CO

We are Amanda and Zac Haigh. We got married too! We are your typical Coloradoans that enjoy a good craft beer, and a long hike. We are Colorado wedding and elopement photographers and filmmakers. We want to go beyond that though-- we want to get to know you and your story. It deserves to be told authentically and beautifully. We are Forest Picture Company, and we are all about serving and creating beautiful images of our unique and adventurous couples in Colorado and anywhere you are! Do you want an experience that is fun and laid back? Well, grab a beer and stick around. We’re so excited you’re here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin with Amanda and Zac. There is so much good, I don’t know where to start! Working with Forest Picture Co was the highlight of the wedding day, besides the getting married part, of course! They were patient and kind to everyone, took their time collecting the groups for photographs, and even worked with the DJ, and climbed on a ladder to get an epic cold sparkler shot on the dance floor that no one was expecting! They went out of their way, every single chance they got, to make us feel like celebrities on our wedding day. They are truly kind, genuine people who deliver on what they promise. That is not always easy to find in the wedding industry these days. Oh, and did I mention that we moved our wedding from Colorado (their home base) to North Carolina…and they still showed up for us!? Working with Amanda and Zac was easily one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and we would choose them every single time.

I cannot answer emails on this platform, please find me through my website. Intimacy and adventure is what I am all about. I absolutely love couples who are fun, who are real and let it fly. I want to see you! You probably don’t mind if your dress gets dirty. You may be down for a short hike and are not afraid of getting in the water at the end of your elopement. You don’t mind if things don’t go perfectly and that is just perfect. You are my people. THE BEST PARTS OF LIFE ARE THE PARTS THAT SURPRISE US. AND THE BEST PHOTOS ARE USUALLY THE ONES WE DIDN’T KNOW WERE COMING.

Working with Liz is an absolute DREAM. We got married mid pandemic (June 2020), and Liz was so amazing in pivoting through our plans as they changed time and time again. In the end, she beautifully captured our small elopement and the photos are unbelievable. We loved her so much and recommended her, and she shot my best friends wedding a year later!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Vail, CO

I am an insatiable traveler chick who enjoys capturing the love of couples adventuring through life's most important moments, and capturing the small intimate ones we rarely put enough importance on - those raw, uniquely candid moments are my favorite. The emotion, energy and love that my clients provide to me is infectious. I'm always down to celebrate with a glass of something after we are finished (or maybe during *wink*) PS: my husband and I ELOPED! If you have questions regarding this special kind of commitment day, I'm here to answer all your questions!

Meredith met with us prior to signing the contract and we immediately knew we wanted her for our big day. During our wedding day, Meredith was so great at capturing every possible shot you could ever want! Her directions were so kind but necessary. She brings ease to your day and is fun to be around. The photos she captured were everything we ever wanted! We will be using her from here on out for all our photo needs :)

I'm Priscilla, and I'm an artist at heart. Avid photographer, lover of printed books (anybody else love the smell of a new book?), and aspiring writer - I love anything that challenges me to look beyond the obvious. I grew up on the road since birth - as part of a musical, touring family - and that provided me with many opportunities to see the world from a different point of view.

Pris is highly communicative and committed to working closely with her clients. She shot our outdoor wedding that ended up being rainy the ENTIRE time and she still managed to get so many wonderful shots! She was very professional and comfortable working in the inclement weather. We'll be going back to her for our first family photos now that we are a family of 3.

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé gave me 3 photographers to look at for our wedding. When I saw Tomi, even my picky side was sold. His photography work is amazing and his communication with us before the wedding was great! He even helped us with our timeline and outline for photos. We had a big venue and were worried about sticking to our timeline and getting the photos we wanted. He took the photos so quickly and got so many photos of us! Many of his ideas took us out of our comfort zone, but ended up being some incredible shots, and he made it extremely fun to do them. One of the best parts of our wedding was getting to have a little bit of Tomi’s time!

Makaila R. was fantastic! Wedding photos were very important to us, but we didn’t have a super high budget so I feel so thankful that we were able to utilize a service like yellow paddle. Unlike other similar services, you are actually able to pick your photographer, which is huge! Everything went as planned. Our photographer was prompt with our initial video meeting and right on time for the day of our wedding. She made us feel super comfortable and we are very happy with our wedding photos! We already received our wedding photos within just a few weeks and the site yellow paddle uses to be able to share photos with everyone is great. My only suggestion would be to be able to hide photos that you don’t want to be viewable to everyone when sharing the link…but they’d have to use a different photo sharing service. I would recommend this company 100%.

Ali Cushing Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Vail, CO

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years. I often work with adventurous couples who look beyond what most of the wedding industry is selling and wanna start their own traditions. I've worked in huge east-coast ballrooms, on Mexican beaches, and at the edges of Moab cliffs. And I'll happily travel to wherever you're doing your own damn thing on your wedding day. I focus on capturing your favorite people in the world and giving you images that pull you right back into the feeling of the day. My style is natural, candid, and joyful, with some sassy editorial portraits and a whole lotta crazy dance floor shots.

We were looking for a wedding photographer who would be able to capture the most special moments of our day and who would create wedding photos that were also art, and WOW did Cory deliver! He was so helpful both leading up to our wedding day and on the day itself - we gave him a tight timeline the day of and he handled it so professionally and still made every moment so fun and stress free. He was honestly such a fun guest to have at the wedding, everyone was talking about how much they loved our photographer! And the photos were just perfect. They captured the love and the fun of the day so beautifully. The photos were unique compared to other photographers but also timeless - we had an incredibly difficult time picking our favorites! We truly could not recommend Cory highly enough!

Photos were the TOP priority for us when it came to our budget because EVERYONE mentions you shouldn't skimp on your photographer and it was very important to us. My wife found Lauren and we were obsessed with her photos. We then became more obsessed with Lauren when we met her and spent our day with her. She was so attentive and kind. She was everywhere all of the time but never in the way, which I feel a lot of people run into. We asked her to capture the vibe of the day and focus on all of our genuine interactions. She not only did that, but exceeded it with her incredible shots! We are beyond thrilled with our gallery and appreciate all of the work Lauren did. We got digital, film, polaroid and dad cam footage. Love all of it. Thank you again, Lauren! (The smallest sample of her incredible work. SO many others.)

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.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Rebeca (Becky)! She was warm and professional, prompt and communicative throughout the process. Becky did the videography for our wedding, and worked seamlessly with our photographer -- and the results are absolutely stunning. When we watched the highlight video, we loved it so much that we immediately watched it again. My parents watched it five times in one sitting. Becky is an amazing storyteller -- she captured exquisitely beautiful shots, and then had such a beautiful eye in knitting them together to tell the story of our day. When my mom first watched it she texted us, "I LOVED it. It's so full of beauty and joy! We will treasure watching it over and over." Many wedding videos I've seen feel somewhat generic and frankly come across as over-the-top sappy -- instead, Becky's highlight reel feels like it captured the heart and soul of our specific day. We are so grateful to have this special way of remembering our wedding. If we could give Becky six stars, we would

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow. Just wow. We already knew that Mark did top quality work because we had hired him to do our engagement photo shoot in October 2022, but he totally blew us away with our wedding photo shoot (November 2023). For the engagement shoot at Estes Park, he knew the area well so he was able to find special spots and capture a lot of really great shots with beautiful lighting with the fall colors. Although we (and Mark) are based in Fort Collins, Colorado, we flew Mark out for our destination wedding near Tulum, Mexico. We could have hired other local Mexican photographers out there but we trusted Mark to capture our special day and we were so glad that we did. Mark was a trooper and got to work right away in shooting our excursion to a cenote (underground sink hole) and Mayan ruins, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party, all before the big wedding day. He took the time to get to know our guests and scouted out interesting locations around the resort, cenote, and private beach site where we had our ceremony/reception for some gorgeous artistic shots. Despite the jet lag and time difference, he was very professional and enthusiastic about getting great photos. For example, our welcome party was only supposed to go from 8-10pm but it lasted until almost midnight. He patiently waited until the party was over to take some fantastic shots around the resort so that my partner and I wouldn’t be pulled away from our guests. He certainly didn’t have to do that, but that’s just one example of how Mark really went above and beyond for us. We also appreciated that he saw himself as more of an observer of the wedding and would document things, but that he balanced this with giving us subtle instructions when we were taking portrait photos, because sometimes my partner and I weren’t sure what to do with our hands or where we should look. We had a long wedding day that started with “getting ready” pictures a little after 2:00pm and the reception didn’t end until 1:30am. Mark’s energy and excitement was contagious and really helped to keep the momentum going. Then, just two days after we returned from the wedding trip, Mark informed us that he had already prepared some sneak peeks for us! We’ll get the photos later next month but we are already so nostalgic about reliving those moments. We were completely blown away by how stunning and gorgeous the photos came out. He really has a talent for bringing out the beauty of these moments with perspective, lighting, and contrasts. For example, we had a live band playing one of our songs and I ran out to get my partner to dance with me and tripped on my wedding dress and fell on the dance floor. Mark was there to capture that hilarious moment! We feel like we really made the perfect decision in hiring Mark to join us for our wedding weekend, and we hope this review will also help others who are deciding who to hire.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe and Ashley! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further. We are beyond grateful!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!
