About Melissa Klippel Photography

Melissa Klippel Photography

Lead Photographer

I specialize in capturing Colorado weddings with a blend of natural beauty and genuine emotion. From windswept mountaintops to golden-hour meadows, I create timeless, artful images that feel true to who you are. My approach is warm, intentional, and storytelling-driven, focused on real moments, real connection, and the magic of your day as it naturally unfolds. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a celebration with all your favorite people, I’m here to document it with creativity, care, and a deep love for this incredible state we get to call home.

I take the time to truly get to know you and your personalities, your story, and the way you naturally interact. That being in front of the camera feels effortless, comfortable, and genuinely fun. Photography has never felt like “work” to me; it’s a passion that fuels me, and that joy shows in the images we create together. I’m not just documenting your day. I’m making sure you feel seen, supported, and completely at ease every step of the way.

    Easy to work with

    Melissa is very responsive with all communication. I don’t like photos being taken, and she helped decompress my anxiety. Pictures were delivered quickly and came out amazing.

The great news is I NEVER put a cap on the amount of photos you will receive. The average of photos I deliver is 80-100 per hour of shooting.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
My turnaround time varies by season. You will receive around a dozen sneak peeks the day after your wedding. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
Typically, couples book me about 6 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
