About By The West

By The West

Founder & Creative Director

Some moments define a lifetime. They unfold in the stillness of a mountaintop, in the warmth of candlelit celebrations, in the echo of laughter shared with your closest friends. These are the moments that deserve to be more than remembered—they deserve to be felt forever. I’ve spent the last decade traveling the US and abroad documenting raw, powerful love in it’s many forms for couples during the most exciting times of their lives. From remote mountain elopements to the grandeur of luxury and celebrity weddings, every story we tell is deeply personal, shaped by the landscapes, the energy, and the connection between two people.

By The West is an award winning wedding studio based in Denver, Colorado. We specialize in both photography and video for weddings and elopements. Every story we tell is intentionally crafted—distinct, immersive, and undeniably yours. Relive not just how it looked, but how it felt. Please contact us through our website for more information.

    Mark made our day very special by capturing the day and telling our love story through photos and video. His style of photography and creativeness is something that can not be replicated. Mark took the time leading up to our wedding to understand us more as a couple, making the day of the wedding seem more pleasant and not so rushed. I’ve cherished our wedding photos, it’s truly something special when you can feel the emotions through photos. Thank you mark for your service and your creativity. It’s truly one of kind.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Mark. From the very first call, Mark was professional, communicative, and truly invested in understanding our vision of a summer boho Aspen wedding. We just clicked! He guided us through the entire process of choosing the perfect spot considering it was a destination wedding for us. On the wedding day, the team made us feel completely at ease, taking the pressure off how nervous my fiance was (he's camera shy). They struck the perfect balance of being present without ever feeling intrusive, allowing the day to unfold naturally. The final photos and video exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully and would wholeheartedly recommend Mark Blake By The West to any couple looking for a talented, thoughtful, and reliable photo/video team. They were an incredible part of our wedding experience.

  • Exceptional & Highly Recommended!
