Stephanie Eddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Ward, CO

You're my kind of couple if you want photos that capture the emotion, joy, meaning of your day. My approach is simple: help you feel comfortable so you can actually be present with each other. Most couples say they feel awkward in photos, and that’s completely normal. I guide you with easy prompts and natural direction, so you’re never left wondering what to do, but nothing feels stiff or forced. Because posing isn’t about perfect positions, it’s about interaction. The laughter, the way you naturally connect. That’s where the real emotion lives.

“Stephanie is great to work with whether you have a clear and specific vision or whether you have no clue where to start. She captures the emotions of the moments just as well as the moments themselves. She is unobtrusive in her candid shots during the ceremony and reception and will make sure you get thr photos you want, as well. Her photos are gorgeous, and she provides a huge array of images to choose from.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa at DogDaze Photography. She is one of those people who is just a natural behind the camera. Her photos are soft, beautiful, and elegant, but what I love most is how much emotion she captures in every image. Her photos don’t just document a moment — they really make you feel it. She is also an absolute dream to work with. Lisa is incredibly professional, so easy to communicate with, and consistently goes above and beyond. Her turnaround time is truly remarkable — she has gotten photos back to us in less than 72 hours, which is amazing! I also think her pricing is incredibly fair for the quality and level of experience she brings. She has such a wide range of photography experience, and it really shows in her work. I genuinely love working with Lisa and feel so lucky to have found her. She is talented, reliable, kind, and just one of those people you know you can count on. If you’re looking for a photographer, stop looking and hire Lisa. You’ll be so happy you did! :)”

I’m Kristina, the photographer behind Krush Photography, based in Longmont, Colorado. I photograph weddings with a documentary eye and an editorial approach to portraits, paying attention to what’s unfolding while offering direction when you need it. I’m drawn to the interactions that make a day feel like yours: your friends making you laugh, your parents watching from across the room, the quiet minute you get together before heading back to the party. My goal is for your photographs to bring you back to how it felt to be there.

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.”

Charlotte Croy is a Colorado and Rhode Island based wedding photographer specializing in timeless, light filled imagery with a documentary edge. 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 would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable photographer.”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Alex was hands down the best photographer I have ever experienced at a wedding. First of all, the energy and attitude he brought to the day was something I did not know we needed but ended up to be a highlight of our entire wedding. He jumped in and helped every single time he could, whether related to photos or not. I walked into my getting-ready room and there he was steaming my dress. I have heard from so many people since our wedding how much they loved the photographer and how wonderful his energy was for the evening. I have also already passed his name along to multiple people. Now, about the photos, they are truly the best wedding photos I have ever seen. They are candid, natural, and magazine-like. We are absolutely in love with every single photo. I will try to use Alex again in some capacity in the future because he was truly so talented. I could not recommend him more.”

“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.”

Tatiana made my "picture hating" husband LOVE doing shoots because of their knowledge of poses, encouragement, and overall fun vibe throughout the entire shoot.

“Larissa is the. BEST. She is not only a seriously talented photographer, she is just a really amazing person too. I am so thankful that we booked Larissa for our engagement and wedding photos. She has a unique talent of making you feel completely relaxed and yourself, and this is apparent in all of our photos. She captured our genuine smiles, laughs, and tender moments--each photo feels completely organic. Larissa took the time to get to know us as a couple, (how we have fun, how we love each other, etc) and used that information to make our photos and experience with her perfectly tailored to us. I genuinely doubt any other photographer would have been able to take such beautiful, authentic, epic photos of us. Seriously. Plus we just had so much fun with her. And besides our actual photos, Larissa was the biggest source of relief on our wedding day. When rain was threatening our wedding, she assured us we would still get all the shots and everything would be okay. She helped wrangle our family, kept us on time, was game for all the couple (and alpaca) shots we wanted, among so many more things. And she was our biggest advocate on our wedding day. I can't count how many times I told my husband through our wedding planning and wedding day, "thank goodness for Larissa". And now that our wedding season is over, I am so grateful that I can count Larissa as my friend too. She is just too wonderful, fun and sweet. If you're debating whether to inquire with Larissa, just do it. Hands down, one of the best decisions of our whole wedding. She is the best.”

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.”

We love meeting new people, exploring new places, and trying new foods. Photography is our art and our passion. Images can evoke powerful memories, bringing you back to those very moments and all of the details surrounding them.

“Nate and Anna did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding! They were professional yet relaxed, and it was very clear they love their job. The Castners went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable in front of the camera while also getting amazing shots. They worked so well with our friends and family and made sure not a single moment was missed. We are so glad we hired Nate and Anna and are hoping the opportunity to work with them again presents itself soon!”

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.

“We are so thrilled with Abby’s work-where to even begin? We wanted a photographer who would capture and honor the beauty of the place and people at our wedding and Abby did just. Our photos are stunning-naturally lit, bright, colorful, and perfectly capturing the love, fun, joy, ritual, setting, and emotion of the day. We cried happy tears looking through them and reliving the whole day. The candid photos are so joyful and the posed photos look lively and warm-there’s nothing stiff about them. Abby herself is incredibly capable-I didn’t realize until the day how many moving pieces/people there are to keep track of and respond to. Abby did it all with positivity, humor, and kindness. She organized individuals, couples, and groups quickly and efficiently. She never seemed frazzled or overwhelmed (even in the middle of the hora!). And she was inconspicuous and discreet during the ceremony-I forgot she was there but she captured the most beautiful moments! We have heard time and again from our friends and family that the photos really capture us and our guests-we’re so grateful, Abby! Thank you!”

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 first spoke with Julie, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Julie has a wonderfully calm, humorous, and easygoing communication style that instantly put us at ease and calmed our nerves on the big day. Her work is extraordinary with a natural documentary style that captured all the small moments and emotions as well as all of the key events from our wedding. The finished product brought tears to our eyes - Julie has such an incredible eye for detail and is a true talent at telling a story through her photographs. Julie also has such a remarkable bedside manner and mixes so well with everyone. Her presence was both soothing and fun, and she was even able to calm down my mother who was a bit of a wreck emotionally that day. With Julie, you're hiring not just an exceptional photographic talent but also an amazing person who will only add to and increase the joy and beauty of your big day. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

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.

“Jonathan is an exceptional photographer and excellent with communication. I knew right away I wanted photos that captured the "real life" moment and the essence of our zoom (online) wedding day, in addition to a few traditional posed photos and scenic ones. People who see the photos say, "I feel like I'm there just by seeing these!" After the ceremony, we took beautiful photos at Chautauqua Park. Jonathan is professional, kind, easy going, adaptable, affordable, and we received hundreds of photos in high-resolution and web-resolution. You can work with him in advance (planning, pose preferences, location) as little or as much as you want.”

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!”
