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%.

Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Original Weddings truly outdid themselves when it came to capturing our day — both in photo and video form! We opted for two photographers and one videographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We were initially told to expect our photos and videos within 4–6 months, but to our surprise, we received everything in less than two weeks after the wedding! Our lead photographer, Steve (or Steven), was wonderful — full of energy, creative, and so intentional with every shot he took. Aspen, our second photographer, perfectly captured all the little details and candid moments we might have missed. It was such a gift to see the empty room and venue shots that we didn’t get to take in during the day. Our videographer, Win (apologies if I’ve spelled that incorrectly), was equally amazing. He captured the joy, the laughter, and all the meaningful speeches that we’ll cherish forever. Original Weddings exceeded every expectation, and we highly recommend them. After researching and comparing multiple vendors, we found their pricing and quality to be unmatched. We loved working with them — and if we could re-hire them, we absolutely would!

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
From the moment we reached out to David, we were impressed by his responsive, professional, and friendly communication style. On our wedding day, he was attentive and discreet, capturing all the special moments with our family seamlessly. The final photos showcased his comprehensive, thoughtful, and creative approach, perfectly preserving the joy and beauty of our celebration. We are thrilled with the quality of David's work and the exceptional value he provided. White Umbrella Photography was an integral part of making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Dani Faulkenberry Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Wheat Ridge, CO
  • Starts at $3,150

CAPTURING YOUR SOUL BY PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR INTIMATE MOMENTS IN A TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY-STYLE APPROACH. I’m Dani - an ODESZA loving, Millennial mom who puts Jesus first. I am married to my middle school sweetheart!!! We have TWO amazing little humans who call us Mom + Dad; Indi + River. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me head banging at a Red Rocks concert, living on the couch during football season, + spending any + all free time with my family.

I've been an event coordinator for over 7 years, and have worked with many photographers at all types of events, from amateur photographers at community events, to celebrity wedding photographers whose work shows up in magazines, so I can say with confidence that Dani is a very professional, excellent photographer. As an event coordinator, part of my job is to ensure that all the vendors know where to be and when - which includes reminding the photographers when important events are about to take place. Dani was so on top of things that I never had to worry that she was missing anything, she captured every single portion of the wedding, and was always right where she needed to be. She managed the photography timeline seamlessly, and kept the entire (very large) wedding party on track for all the requisite group photos. She was great with communication during the planning phases of the wedding, and very reliable when it came to coordinating schedules. She was on time on the wedding day, and did a great job capturing every single important moment of the wedding day. Dani was hired by the wedding couple prior to my joining the planning team, and I would 100% recommend her to others and use her in future weddings.

Hi! My name is Jon Kohlwey and I'm a Colorado based photographer specializing in weddings and music. I'm originally from Wisconsin, but moved out to Colorado back in 2000. Before I found my passion in photography, I was working at Granby Ranch learning the ski and golf industry. I then spent two years working as a wedding coordinator for Granby Ranch. There is no wedding too far! When I'm not shooting weddings you can usually find me at a concert or show.

We were thrilled with Jonathan Kohlwey Photography for our wedding! Jon was extremely responsive and encouraging throughout the entire process, from our initial consultation to the big day. His upbeat attitude helped keep us calm and excited. The quality of Jon's work is simply impeccable - his photos are gorgeous, creative and fun. He has a true talent for capturing special moments. From our lively engagement shoot to our first look on our wedding day, Jon helped guide us through getting fantastic photos. His attention to detail and creative vision resulted in beautiful, timeless images that we will treasure forever. We'd highly recommend Jonathan Kohlwey Photography to any Colorado couple planning a wedding or special event!

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!

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!

There are not enough words to express just how unbelievable Mike and Christine are! We originally chose them because we were fortunate enough to have witnessed them at work. They were the most impressive photography/videography team we had ever seen, and we needed them for our wedding! Trust me when I say, they are even better than you can possibly imagine. From our initial meeting, all the way through the process of engagement photos and finally the wedding itself, they were incredible. They respond almost immediately with any questions you might have. They made sure that all of our requested photos were taken and made sure that we stayed as close to our timeline as possible. The teaser video and highlight videos that Mike created are truly magical. I am completely obsessed with them. He was able to capture footage of everything, without us even knowing he was there. Mike and Christine are true artists with the most unbelievable eye for detail. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I know that we would have been disappointed had we chosen anyone else.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie’s process, from the initial consultation to the delivery of the final photos, made us feel incredibly confident and cared for. Before the wedding, she took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring every detail was considered. Considering that we reached out 2-weeks before our special day, she made the entire process of contract and payment simple. During the wedding, her calm and professional demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries. After the wedding, her prompt communication and the beautiful presentation of the photos exceeded our expectations. The most memorable or standout part of working with Katie was her incredible ability to capture the pure joy and emotion of our special day. She effortlessly blended into the background, yet managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every precious moment with stunning clarity and artistry. To any couple who’s on the fence about hiring Katie Blondin Photography, I would say don’t hesitate for a second! Her talent, dedication, communication, and passion for her craft are unparalleled. She has a remarkable gift for capturing the essence of a moment, and your photos will be treasured memories that we will cherish forever. It was important to us to have a photographer who was able to capture our two dogs who were the best “men” in our wedding. Katie was a pro with making sure they were the stars of the photos. A cherished photo in our gallery is of us with our boys. Thank you, Katie, for being a part of our wedding and for providing us with such breathtaking memories. Your work is truly exceptional, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have you as our wedding photographer.

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.

With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

She was super nice and easygoing from our initial meetup to the final photos. she was not invasive so we barely noticed her as she took amazing shots! She was a calm presence and relief of stress throughout the day. Her turnaround time was prompt and she captured so many emotions. The lighting was soft and beautiful. She even got my grandmas photo in the background as I was getting ready which brought me to tears. I feel she captured the personality of my husband and I perfectly. There were so many candid photos and little moments that I am thrilled to cherish forever. I would absolutely recommend her to capture your special 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).

Madison is the absolute best! She captured my bridal and wedding photos and all of the pictures turned out amazing! I was pretty nervous for my bridal photos but she was really helpful with posing and making it not feel awkward and they turned out great! As for the wedding photos, I don’t think anything could top the pictures she took! She’s truly amazing at what she does! I am so glad I reached out to her for my wedding! The pictures all turned out perfect and she was also very organized throughout the planning process as well. She shares tips and things I likely wouldn’t have thought of leading up to the big day! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a photographer! Adding some pics below so you can see how great she is!

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day.

I've only received photo previews so far, but even those are stunning. Lindsey's attention to detail and artistic eye are unmatched, and I could not be happier with our choice of photographer. On the wedding day itself, Lindsey meshed incredibly well with all of our guests and brought a fun, relaxed energy that made the formal photo sessions fly by smoothly. The photos feel vibrant, organic and full of joy. I can't recommend Through Lindsey's Lens highly enough for wedding photography!

Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Hello! I’m Shelly, a Denver metro-based wedding photographer. With an eye for detail and a heart that beats for art, I’ve spent over a decade honing my craft. My photography style is a blend of bright, emotional, and colorful and my goal is to reveal the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary.

Leading up to the day, she was incredibly communicative and worked well with our coordinator to keep us on schedule. Her work speaks for itself, and we'll cherish these photos forever.

I'm Natalie! I fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

Natalie and Anton were fantastic. They were super easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable with all things COVID. Our wedding was smaller than originally planned and they just made working with them so easy. They did a fantastic job the day off and we got our pictures back way sooner than I expected. They are great!! Can’t wait to work with them again next year.
