Hi, Tony here. First off, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I know you’ve probably looked at quite a few photographers already, so I just wanted to share a little about what makes me different. I started photographing weddings in San Francisco and New York City before making Denver my home. Over the years, I’ve really honed my craft and found that photography is not just what I do—it’s something I truly love. I’m always excited to meet new couples and tell their unique stories through my lens. It would mean a lot to me to be part of your special day. Feel free to check out my work on my website and get in touch to chat!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Tony for both our engagement shoot and a 5-hour wedding package. His photography is simply stunning—elevated, artsy, and full of emotion. The final images were beyond beautiful and captured the day perfectly--he also gave us every photo in Black & White for no extra charge! Tony went above and beyond, even scouting locations with us beforehand to make the most of our time. While Tony can come across as a bit scattered and his communication style might feel a little quirky at times, the quality of his work is absolutely worth it! He has a strong artistic vision and is great at positioning you for the best shots, even if it takes a little patience. He delivered our edited photos in record time (2 weeks!), and the results were truly impressive—comparable to photographers who charge 3-5x more. Several wedding guests have asked us something along the lines of, "Who was your photographer?! EVERY photo looks like it could be in a magazine!" And it's true! There's not a single dud amongst the hundreds of photos! Tony is a kind, caring, and talented artist, and we're so happy with the beautiful memories he created for us!

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 are Blake and Heather, creators of LANZ Photography, a wedding photography brand specializing in quality photos with a smooth, memorable experience. Based in the mountains of Colorado, we work with couples who value a fun and genuine time.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lanz Photography on a number of weddings and styled photo sessions. They are professional, engaging, talented, and extremely easy to work with. I have no hesitation at all recommending their services to any of my clients. I highly recommend couples consider hiring Lanz Photography for their entire wedding so they can capture all those moments for you from getting ready to your grand exit - perhaps even later (ask them about their astro wedding photography)! Clients have shared their impressions of Lanz Photography with me as well stating that they feel very comfortable with the photographers (Heather & Blake), are pleased with the turn around time from their event to when they receive their photos, and are blown away with the quality of photos they receive - with both the staged photos and candid moments capturing love and emotion.

Awarded Best of Zola
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%.

Hi! ​I'm Ivy, The Pic Chick! I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for about 18 years! I am from Arizona, but now live in Colorado! I am married to an awesome dude, I have 2 tiny humans! I do everything I can to make the photo experience fun and pressure-free, to help your wedding day go by in a timely manner. While you are enjoying the moments of your big day I’ll be snapping away freely, capturing the wonderful timeless memories! I'd love to meet up with you to chat more, let's grab a coffee sometime!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ivy has photographed four major life events for my family now. From our engagement to wedding to maternity to newborn photos, she captured so many of our most important memories that we can treasure forever so beautifully. In planning a wedding with a goal of staying under Colorado’s average wedding cost, I was deep in the Internet and Instagram profiles looking for a photographer that was affordable without sacrificing quality. I found two and was leaning more toward Ivy anyway, but blindly showed my fiancé at the time samples of the two photographers’ portfolios. He immediately chose Ivy’s without knowing anything about who the photographer was, cost, or any other details. He gave the reasoning that her photos were so vibrant and real-looking and he wanted our days captured in the same way. As soon as we got on the phone for our consultation call with Ivy, we immediately clicked. She then made us feel so comfortable in the engagement session and we really got to get to know each other in preparation for our big wedding day. She then requested the wedding day schedule and even helped us make decisions to build that schedule based on not only what would give us the best photo opportunities but also what would work better for us based on what she knew and getting to know us. Because she has so much experience and cares so deeply about her clients, she actually doubled as a second wedding coordinator for the day-of. She made the day flow so stress-free and took a lot of responsibility upon herself to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. Her portfolio speaks for itself as far as photography quality, her abilities, and capturing the best moments, but it’s the personal touch that you don’t get to see in her portfolio at earns her the highest five star rating. Even in the shoots outside of our wedding, she was so gentle and patient with our dogs and newborn baby, putting us so ease in what could have been stressful situations prepping for a photo session. I want to yell from the mountain tops that everybody should trust Ivy when looking for a photographer for those important moments. If you’re reading this review in order to select a photographer, you can go ahead and just book her now. After the most important photo shoots of our lives over the past year I can promise you that you won’t regret it.

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.

We cannot say enough positive things about Amy! She is not only an amazing photographer and artist, but also an absolute gem of a person. She did our engagement and wedding photos, and we loved every second of working with her. We were planning everything from out of state, which can be a challenge, but she made it easy and stress-free. Amy was easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, and you could tell she was genuinely excited to be working with us and be a part of our special day. Our first time meeting her in person was during our engagement photo session and we instantly felt comfortable with her. As for the pictures, we absolutely loved them! They exceeded all expectations, and we cannot stop looking at them. Our jaws dropped with each one when looking at them for the first time. Her skills are incredible, and we could not believe the pictures were ours. She has a special eye for getting the perfect angle, backdrop, lighting, etc. She also gets a good mixture of the typical posed pictures, but also capturing raw emotions. We would definitely recommend her and hope to get pictures with her again someday!

Bethany with Elevate was an absolute blast to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. Our initial meeting was so warm and inviting at the Elevate studio. She was so great with us getting to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera. She was sure to make every little detail seem big and important. We had a great call a couple weeks before the wedding day to nail down everything we wanted to capture. And once we got to the big day, she went above and beyond for us continuously. I cannot recommend Elevate and Bethany enough!

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!

Katie is an exceptional photographer & person. 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 did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job for our wedding photos. My husband and I were truly blown away by her work. She was also a huge help with so many other things on the wedding day, had a great attitude, and was a true professional for the entire event.

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.

Hi, I'm Angie. I'm a wedding and documentary photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I've been capturing authentic human connections and emotions since 2018. I get to meet wonderful people, travel to the most beautiful places, and document love in its rawest form. What's better than that?!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. And I wanted someone kind, organized, and affordable. Well, Angela was perfect for us. She’s so sweet! She has great systems in place to make payments, downloads, and getting information a breeze. She’s flexible and prompt. And she gives great directions to produce beautiful photos. We absolutely, 100% recommend her for your wedding, elopement, boudoir shoot, or whatever other photography need you have!

I’m Lo, a wedding and elopement photographer creating warm, intentional imagery for couples who value connection and being fully present on their wedding 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!

Through Lindsey's Lens Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Lindsey's communication throughout the planning process was perfect - she was always very clear about what information she needed from me, and her reminder emails were extremely helpful in keeping me organized and on track. 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!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

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.

My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. 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'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.

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. Throughout your entire wedding day, I strive to encapsulate the essence of the moment in each frame. My journey has led me to incredible places and allowed me to meet wonderful people. I believe that photography is not just about clicking a button; it’s about forging connections, capturing emotions, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.

At the end of the day we left thinking about what we had to remember the night... which is our photos. As a wedding coordinator, I’ve seen my fair share of photographers, but when it came to my own wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted behind the lens— Shelly M Photography! Being on the other side of the wedding planning process, I had high expectations, and I can honestly say, Shelly exceeded them in every way. Here’s why I’m absolutely raving about her: 1️. Professionalism that Shines – From the moment we connected to the final shot of the night, she was a true professional. She handled the timeline, kept everything flowing smoothly, and made sure every special moment was captured without stress or disruption. 2️. Master at Navigating Family Dynamics – Weddings are full of diverse personalities and family dynamics, and Shelly handled it all like a pro. She made everyone feel comfortable, from the shyest guests to the most energetic ones, ensuring no one was left out and everyone looked great! This includes the difficult family 3. Affordable Quality – You don’t have to break the bank for quality. She delivers amazing photos at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. As someone who knows the wedding industry inside and out, I can tell you that Shelly M Photography offers exceptional value. I’ve worked with photographers who either cost a fortune or leave you feeling like something’s missing, but with Shelly, there was zero compromise on quality or experience. I’m so happy with the photos from my wedding, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you're a bride, or another wedding pro looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make magic happen, Shelly is the one to book! From ceremony photos, couple portraits, details and dancing photos, I'm blown away.

I am a Denver-based photographer dedicated to capturing artful, real, and unforgettable stories. I believe the best images are rooted in light and shaped by genuine connection, the kind that feels warm, effortless, and perfectly imperfect. Whether documenting a wedding or a creative session, my goal is to capture the messy, beautiful little moments like belly laughs and wind-tangled hair that make your heart feel full

Katie was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer, and genuinely acted as a friend to me throughout the planning process and the day itself! We needed someone who could fit right in and genuinely be part of the party, who we could be comfortable around in all (or most) moments, and we wanted someone with strong vision and direction who used natural light and captures real beauty as opposed to stiff posing. Katie checked all of those boxes, and more! She is absolutely an artist, not 'just' a photographer, and our wedding videographer was also very impressed by her direction, she was the conductor of it all and did a masterful job!

I can't express how amazing our wedding photos turned out! Dmitriy exceeded our already very high expectations. He made sure all the shots we wanted were taken and the results were perfection. He was a joy to work with and would definitely book him for other photos. Don't hesitate to book him! From start to finish, the whole experience went smoothly and put me at ease with the photography aspect of our big day. Thanks again!
