Proud to call Lakewood home. We love traveling our beautiful state capturing the most important moments in couple's lives! Our lead team consists of Beau and Luke (photographers) and Reese (videography.) We approach weddings in a photojournalistic style with a focus on candid/genuine moments. Of course, we want stunning portraits of the couple, wedding party, family, and friends, but also capture the joy and emotion in real moments throughout the day. I hope we can schedule consultation to see if we would be a good fit. Equality minded, we love all couples!

From the moment we booked Blue Spruce Photography Videography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

I could not be more thrilled with our choice in photographer than Sound Originals! The quality of shots we received from our wedding were stunning, and that is entirely thanks to Kevin. He was so great at working with us to create beautiful, posed shots, but my favorite photos of the night are those were he captured the live moments of joy. Having the ability to have multiple editing styles was so amazing as it led to some beautifully crafted shots with unique lighting.

Tomi Photopositive 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Empire, CO

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

Forest Picture Co. is, without a doubt, the best choice you could make for a wedding photographer. Neither my husband or I are very comfortable being in pictures but from our very first meeting Amanda made us feel at ease with the whole process and like we were naturals in front of a camera. Her knowledge about weddings helped us feel better about planning the whole thing and she helped make sure everything went by without any problems the day of by helping us get around, coordinating with family and venue staff, and going with the flow when things didn't happen exactly as planned. She’s so fun to work with, an amazing support, and her work is absolutely incredible. Every photo she took turned out amazing, but our favorites were the candid shots. They perfectly capture what an amazing day we had and the love and joy from everyone at our wedding. And we got our full album in record time so we and all of our guests could enjoy them. We can't wait to have an album printed to keep on our coffee table for everyone to admire! If we had to do it all over again Forest Picture Co. is exactly who we would pick to create memories of our day!

I focus on capturing your favorite people in the world and giving you images that pull you right back into the feeling of the day. My style is natural, candid, and joyful, with some sassy editorial portraits and a whole lotta crazy dance floor shots.

He was so helpful both leading up to our wedding day and on the day itself - we gave him a tight timeline the day of and he handled it so professionally and still made every moment so fun and stress free. He was honestly such a fun guest to have at the wedding, everyone was talking about how much they loved our photographer! And the photos were just perfect. They captured the love and the fun of the day so beautifully. The photos were unique compared to other photographers but also timeless - we had an incredibly difficult time picking our favorites!

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.

Photos were the TOP priority for us when it came to our budget because EVERYONE mentions you shouldn't skimp on your photographer and it was very important to us. My wife found Lauren and we were obsessed with her photos. We then became more obsessed with Lauren when we met her and spent our day with her. She was so attentive and kind. She was everywhere all of the time but never in the way, which I feel a lot of people run into. We asked her to capture the vibe of the day and focus on all of our genuine interactions. She not only did that, but exceeded it with her incredible shots! We are beyond thrilled with our gallery and appreciate all of the work Lauren did. We got digital, film, polaroid and dad cam footage. Love all of it. Thank you again, Lauren! (The smallest sample of her incredible work. SO many others.)

Every wedding photographer says some version of “documentary with a hint of editorial.” And if we can be honest, who isn’t? Weddings call for real moments and photos worth framing. The difference isn’t the label. It’s the approach. We don’t show up and “shoot candid” from across the room. We focus on connection and emotional pacing: reading body language, easing pressure, bringing out genuine laughter.

Words cannot express how grateful I am that we found Manny! He truly went above and beyond from the moment we first interacted to the moment he delivered our final album. 1st and foremost: Manny is extremely professional. During our first meeting Manny had an organized power point to go over everything. That completely ruined all the other lame plain phone calls I had with other potential photographers tbh! 2nd: Manny's communication is consistent and timely. He kept us posted every step of the way and offered encouragement leading up to our wedding day. 3rd: He made us so, so comfortable and knew just how to get us to loosen up during our portrait photos. 4th and most notably: Manny's photos and style of editing are GORGEOUS. I am blown away with our final album. I cannot stop looking through the photos. My only regret was not finding him in time to do our engagement photos.

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.

We found Angela after looking through several Colorado photographers. As a photographer herself, my wife noticed small but impactful missing elements with other photographers so she was quite picky about choosing someone who was mindful and cared to produce quality edits, not just stamp a filter on our pictures.

She’s flexible and prompt. And she gives great directions to produce beautiful photos.

I cannot say enough good things about this photographer!! I found his site while searching for a photographer in the NOCO area to take some "couples photos" in the mountains to commemorate our elopement. He responded to my inquiry quickly and understood what I was trying to accomplish. His pricing was surprisingly reasonable given the quality of work I saw on his site. The photoshoot went very smoothly. He was really familiar with Rocky Mountain National Park and knew some good spots in the areas we wanted to take pictures. I'm not *at all* comfy or experienced in front of the camera, so I was a little nervy going into it about looking awkward or stiff in the pictures. But Mark made everything feel super comfortable and gave us direction as we went along. When we got the pictures back, I was BLOWN AWAY. They were absolutely stunning. The mountain landscapes in the background looked unreal. And I was extremely pleasantly surprised at how flattering the pictures were of my husband and myself. (I always joke that cameras hate me b/c I can't take a good picture to save my life.) But the pictures from this photoshoot taken by Mark, genuinely, are the most beautiful I've ever seen myself look in a picture. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the pictures I received from Mark. 10 out of 10. 5 stars. HIGHLY, highly recommend!!

We had so much fun with Amazing and her team. The entire evening was super enjoyable and we were really able to just be ourselves, have fun, and take pictures naturally. Every moment felt super chill and easy. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to get wedding pics with Amazing.

Emberlight Media has been preserving memories for all of life’s precious major events since 1999. Our work has been featured at venues, on several websites and in numerous national and international magazines.

We truly could not have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day! From the moment we began working with them, they made us feel so comfortable and supported. Their warmth, professionalism, and creativity stood out from the very beginning. One of my absolute favorite parts of the day was our first look, and it was largely because of how calm and guided we felt. It was such a special and emotional moment that turned into one of the most fun parts of the whole day—thanks to their gentle direction and positive energy. Throughout the entire wedding, they struck the perfect balance between keeping things on track and allowing space for our ideas and spontaneity. When I asked if we could sneak away for sunset photos on the deck, they were all in—and those shots ended up being some of our favorites. Despite our large and enthusiastic families constantly asking for “just one more photo,” they handled everything with such grace and kindness. So many of our guests commented on how calm, patient, and lovely the team was to work with. We already love the photos they’ve shown us so far and truly can’t wait to see the full gallery and our wedding video. We’re so thankful we chose them and will be recommending them to everyone we know!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

Rebeca Velie Photography

  • Serves Empire, CO

I'm a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding. Capturing the real love of my couples is what's most important to me. I love working with couples to create images that represent their authentic and raw adoration for one another. Outside of your big day, I love tagging along with both of you on a date to the white mountains or even just drinking hot coffee and laughing on cold winter days. I am passionate about capturing a real & unrestrained version of my clients.

Our entire experience with Rebeca was nothing but amazing, positive, and fun. From the very beginning she took the time to get to know us and ask questions that were genuine, and not just generic. She stayed in contact throughout the entire process; before, up to, during, and after our wedding. A lot of my guests also commented on how wonderful she was. She is professional, friendly, and a EXCELLENT photographer. I was blown away by the pictures when I got them. Many of them are fairytale like. I can honestly say that my husband and I plan to stay in touch with Rebeca on a professional and friendly level, also with the hopes to work with her again in the future. I HIGHLY recommend her services. It was probably one of the best choices I made when planning our wedding. We love you Becky!!

There is absolutely nothing I could say wrong about my experience working with Jamie. My fiancé had no experience being photographed and Jamie made him feel comfortable and relaxed in a way I don’t think many photographers can do. She was prepared, had wonderful ideas and a vision, and most of all she was sweet as could be! I recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a photographer who will put them at ease, bring their story to life, and provide heart stopping photographs. I will cherish my time with Jamie, and our engagement photos for the rest of my life.
