King went above and beyond with our engagement session; he flew all the way out to Colorado from Florida to do it and was very flexible with my husband as they made preparations for that day. For our wedding day he was thorough in making sure that we were on the same page for the kinds of shots I wanted and understood the kind of aesthetic we desired as well.

I’m Kate; a dog obsessed, coffee shop lurking, total weirdo of a Denver wedding photographer. I’m blessed with a very dry sense of humor (I’m British, I can't help it) and love using it to diffuse awkwardness in front of the camera. As one of my couples wonderfully phrased it, I’m “artsy without being inaccessible.” You know when things look good, and I do too. I’m here for the weirdos, wanderers, and folx who make the world a more interesting place. I AM INCLUSIVE OF ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE AND ALL TYPES OF LOVE. When you reach out to me, you will be met with nothing other than encouragement, support, and excitement to celebrate YOU.

Carmen did engagement photos for my fiance and I (she’ll also be doing our wedding photos) and we are beyond impressed!! They turned out better than we could have hoped and have us excited for our wedding day photos. Carmen was prompt and responsive prior to the session. During the session, she provided guidance as well as listened to our ideas for poses. Afterwards, she sent us a few sneak peak photos and then got us the remainder incredibly quickly (within a week!). Although I am very happy with her editing of our photos as is, Carmen did mention that we could request another filter if we had wanted. Highly recommend!!

We weren't sure if we wanted to use the photos for our save-the-dates, but the results were absolutely stunning. Working with Heather and Blake was a ton of fun - they're so nice and knowledgeable, and by the end of our session, my fiancé felt totally comfortable in front of the camera (he had been dreading it beforehand).

My husband and I were very happy to find photography in our budget through Yellow Paddle. I didn’t really interact with the company at all, but Mark and Santana were both excellent. Our primary photographer was Mark Whitrock. He did our engagement photos and our wedding. He suggested a beautiful location for our engagement photos and they turned out great. He used both film and digital which was not something we had an opinion on, but we really loved how the film ones turned out. Mark had good suggestions for posing and was also happy to try out our ideas. He was easy to get a hold of over text as well as having a phone call with us right before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. He was respectful, approachable, timely and easy to work with. We love how the outdoor photos from our wedding turned out, they were true to life in style/color. He also caught some candid shots that I hadn’t thought of which were a nice surprise. Santana Garcia was our second shooter and his work is stunning. His editing style was not something I was particularly looking for but I’m in love with how the photos turned out. The style and lighting is beautiful and the vividness of red (our wedding color) still came through. I didn’t communicate with him directly before the wedding, but he was timely, easy to work with, and brought some of his own ideas which we appreciated. He caught detail shots at both the ceremony and the reception I hadn’t thought to ask for. Dancing was a big and important part of our reception and he did an amazing job capturing crisp, beautiful photos of people in motion in dimmer lighting. We had a panicked moment the night before where we realized we wanted the ceremony to be recorded (not edited or anything special, just captured) and Mark and Santana made it happen for us which was truly above and beyond their jobs and meant a lot to us.

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

Bethany from Elevate (with the help of Emily) photographed our wedding in November 2024, and I truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. As the bride, I really wanted the focus of our photos to be genuine, expressive moments that truly reflected what the day felt like—and WOW, they absolutely nailed it. The images are bursting with emotion, laughter, and love, capturing the energy and spirit of our celebration so beautifully. I’m a very expressive person (my face shows everything I’m feeling), and some of my favorite photos are the candid ones—pure joy on my face, my husband’s, our families’, and our guests’. Looking back through them takes me right back to that day, and I just can’t stop smiling. Bethany perfectly documented everything—from the vibe of the venue, to the ceremony, to sweet little moments between loved ones, to wedding party portraits. Every shot feels intentional yet natural. Even when we ran a little behind schedule, Bethany stayed calm, kind, and supportive—never once adding stress. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and totally present. Most of the time, I barely even noticed the camera. Bethany and Emily blended right in, capturing everything organically rather than staging or directing too much. It honestly felt like having two close friends there, cheering us on. I couldn’t have picked a better team to document such a meaningful day.

Oh hey! I’m Katie, down-to-earth and down to explore! I'm a Colorado wedding & elopement photographer, adventurer, and cat mom. Let me promise you two things. First: we are going to have a blast! Plenty of people think they’re really awkward, especially for photos. Never fear! I use super fun prompts, simple poses, dumb jokes, and a journalistic approach to capture candid moments and your authentic selves. The second promise that I will do whatever I can to make your life simpler during this process. Whether that is timeline planning, or helping plan your dream elopement. I am always going to be in your corner!

She made everything so easy, from initially meeting with us to talk about it wedding, booking, and her wealth of experience in advising us on what to wear, how to pose, how to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and how to enjoy ourselves throughout the process. Her guides for engagement shoots and the wedding day itself were invaluable, and her professionalism and process in hitting every major point of the occasion is done with such finesse. Katie is hilarious, affable, kind, and incredibly skilled at what she does. She made us feel completely taken care of from booking through the wedding day, and after. Book her; you will not regret it. Per my wedding party, “Katie is the real MVP.” We love her.

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.

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.

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 felt like part of the family from the start - she was so fun to be around and genuinely helped with everything, even going above and beyond her role as a photographer, by the end of it she felt like one of my bridesmaids haha. The final photos were absolutely gorgeous, capturing all the special moments and emotions of our wedding day in a professional and artistic way. The value we received was exceptional, and MK Photography played a huge role in making our day feel so special and memorable.

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. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

I am a wedding photographer passionate about capturing authentic love stories. I focus on creating images that reflect the true emotions, connections, and joy of your wedding day. My approach blends candid storytelling with timeless, elegant portraits, allowing couples to relive their day through images that feel both natural and artful. I strive to make the photography experience personal, joyful, and effortless, ensuring that every couple feels comfortable and celebrated in front of the camera.

Michelle works magic behind the camera! Michelle has a talent for making me feel so comfortable and providing great direction, so I don't even have to think about what I'm doing. I just follow her cues and enjoy myself, and that is what comes through in the photographs! At my wedding this summer, she so perfectly captured the vibe and took fun and unique photos that I absolutely love and will cherish for a lifetime!

If I could give 6 stars I would! We could not be happier with our experience with Light Fusion and their team! We had very specific and unique requests for them at our outdoor wedding and they made it all happen! Their communication was professional and thorough, and very fast I’ll add. Working with them was so natural and they made us feel at ease during our wedding jitters and excitement or stresses. They thought of EVERYTHING and captured our magical day exactly as it was so now we feel like we are there reliving our perfect day again when we review the pictures and videos! We are SO grateful for their dedication to the dream we had! They truly poured love and quality into each photo! Beyond thankful we chose them to do our wedding! They created something priceless that we will look back on hundreds of times through the years for anniversaries, sharing with friends and family and those times we need reminded why we fell in love in the first place. THANK YOU DMITRIY & HIS TEAM!! Well worth every penny!

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.

Choosing Anton & Natalie was one of the first and best decisions we made when planning our wedding! From Natalie's vendor suggestions to putting us so at ease while taking portraits, they helped make our day so special. They helped us craft our vision into reality and it was truly everything we wanted. Our gallery is absolutely gorgeous and captures the joy we were feeling as we were experiencing it. It was a wonderful experience working with them and an essential part of our dream wedding!

Based in both Colorado & New England! Hey friend, I'm Natalie! I’m here to document the best day of your life in a way authentic to you! I’m inspired by the beauty of nature and the best of humanity. My goal is to give you memories you will never forget. I’m a storyteller and documentary styled photographer first. That means I capture your day in a way that feels like a movie you can watch every time you look back at your photos.

Natalie was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day more special than we had ever imagined. We really prioritized finding vendors who had experience working with queer couples, people of color, and disabled people - whose portfolios aligned with our values and our wedding party beyond simply stating “all are welcome” on their websites - and Natalie delivered. I have never been comfortable or felt like *myself* in front of the camera because of my flat affect and rigidity (I’m neurodivergent), so I was particularly anxious about having “good” photos from our wedding day. But Natalie’s warm demeanor immediately put my mind at ease, and I was blown away by how our engagement photoshoot went. Having (obviously) never planned a wedding before, my wife and I were a bit overwhelmed by all the decisions and coordination that go into making 100-person party go off without a hitch, but Natalie helped us put together a custom timeline that somehow fit in plenty of photos with our large, loud, blended families, and even an extra photoshoot for my parents! She communicated with all our vendors in advance and kept the entire day running on time. She helped button our dresses and clasp our jewelry, helped us stay present and enjoy each moment while offering direction when warranted. And the photos… Wow. The level of detail and composition of each photo is remarkable and immediately transports us back to our wedding day. We look (and felt!) like we were living in a fairytale. Natalie captured our personalities and relationship so well, from the intimacy of our first look and “golden hour” to lots of laughter with our closest friends. It’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to - of course! - and we couldn’t have done it without Natalie.

David demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout our collaboration, providing invaluable assistance in the preparations leading up to our wedding day. He proved to be an invaluable resource for brainstorming ideas. On the day of the event, David exhibited punctuality and a high level of professionalism. His attentiveness ensured that we obtained all desired photographs and more. The final gallery exceeded our expectations, showcasing his astonishing work. Remarkably, we received sneak peek pictures within less than 48 hours. Without a doubt, we couldn't have selected a more skilled photographer, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to all.
