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.

Kate Merrill Photography

  • Serves Boulder, CO

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Can't say enough good things about Kate! Kate's photos looked fun and candid, but still beautiful, and the prices were quite reasonable (we researched dozens of photographers). When we messaged her, she was so responsive and fun we knew we had to have her no matter what. She was very thorough, making sure we got the pictures WE wanted, and not what our parents or other guests might be thinking. Everything was laid out way ahead of time so we all knew what to expect. I really appreciated the planning beforehand, because while it can be a lot, it made the actual wedding day/week SO much smoother. Pictures took about 6 weeks, which was great turn around for *over 600 photos*. We absolutely love them! Some of the photos are gorgeous posed shots of my husband and I that I'm absolutely getting framed, but some of the best are these candid moments from after the wedding and reception. She got us signing our marriage license, hugging and crying with our guests, and doing finger guns with my sister at the reception. She didn't miss a thing and it's the best recreation of the day we could've possibly asked for. All our guests also remarked on how cool she was - some of them even thought she was just a friend of ours they'd never met cause she fit in so well! GET KATE

We are Amanda and Zac Haigh. We got married too! We are your typical Coloradoans that enjoy a good craft beer, and a long hike. We are Colorado wedding and elopement photographers and filmmakers. We want to go beyond that though-- we want to get to know you and your story. It deserves to be told authentically and beautifully. We are Forest Picture Company, and we are all about serving and creating beautiful images of our unique and adventurous couples in Colorado and anywhere you are! Do you want an experience that is fun and laid back? Well, grab a beer and stick around. We’re so excited you’re here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin with Amanda and Zac. There is so much good, I don’t know where to start! Working with Forest Picture Co was the highlight of the wedding day, besides the getting married part, of course! They were patient and kind to everyone, took their time collecting the groups for photographs, and even worked with the DJ, and climbed on a ladder to get an epic cold sparkler shot on the dance floor that no one was expecting! They went out of their way, every single chance they got, to make us feel like celebrities on our wedding day. They are truly kind, genuine people who deliver on what they promise. That is not always easy to find in the wedding industry these days. Oh, and did I mention that we moved our wedding from Colorado (their home base) to North Carolina…and they still showed up for us!? Working with Amanda and Zac was easily one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and we would choose them every single time.

I believe that wedding photography should be about you. This is your love, your story and your adventure. Here's what I believe you deserve: A. A photographer who listens to your whole story, and gets as invested in it as you want (but not like in a weird way) B. For you to be able leave stress at the door. I've spent years photographing weddings and honing my craft, I've got you covered no matter what. Also, I bring snacks. C. Amazingly personal photographs where you don't feel like a stranger in your own wedding album. I want to give you a fun experience, and allow you to be fully present in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex (and his awesome assistant Maddie) not only perfectly captured our wedding, but they truly helped us celebrate the joy and love we felt on the day. Alex is grounded, calm, and helped us stay focused on one another and our community. He acted like our secret protector, carving out time throughout the night for us to bask in all of the small and big moments. In addition to being immensely talented, he is incredibly professional. Leading up to the wedding he was highly communicative (with both us and our planner) and took the time to get to know us. During the day, he played air traffic controller with our extended families without missing a beat. And he even shared a sneak peak of the previews by the next morning for us to celebrate before our honeymoon. We are so grateful that Alex was our photographer. The photos are timeless, and he is just such a great human.

Juniper Ink Photography

Boulder, CO
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000

What I love most about a wedding day is the story—your story. I love the way Mom does up the dress or the way the Best Man helps with cufflinks. I love capturing the first time your future spouse sees you. I love when the flower girl decides the petals are better in her mouth than in the air (this has happened!) I love when Grandma sheds those tears of happiness. I love hearing people's vows! I love how there is always an awkward and sentimental speech, or when Aunt B has an extra glass of wine and dances barefoot raving about what a great party it is! Beyond that, I really love capturing people at the beginning of their love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mira shot our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with her work! We wanted someone who would capture candid shots, but who would also give us plenty of Perfect Portraits. Mira delivered on both accounts! We loved each and every photo, and trust me, there were hundreds. Mira also builds great rapport with her clients. My husband doesn't love being in front of the camera too much, but Mira made photos a very relaxing experience for both of us.

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine. The showcased the venues and details of the day as well as the bride and groom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding videographer!!!

I'm a photographer with more than 20 years of professional experience photographing the nuptials of couples all over Colorado. I used to shoot all types of weddings, big and small, but have lately been focusing on elopements and micro weddings as I love the intimacy that these sorts of events engender. I am available for a limited number of micro weddings and elopements each year.

From the moment we met Julie of June Moon Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Her relaxed and fun-loving personality immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident she would capture the essence of our special day. True to our instincts, the photos she delivered were absolutely stunning - beautifully emotive, candid, and timeless. Julie was a joy to work with, expertly directing the group to ensure we got all the shots we wanted before the gorgeous sunset faded. The finished product was nothing short of spectacular, and we are overjoyed to have such cherished memories to look back on. We highly recommend June Moon Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

“There is one thing the photography must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough – there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph.” – Robert Frank

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so happy we hired them to capture the most magical day of our lives. Nick and his team were beyond comparable to anyone else. They captured everything we wanted, without being overbearing. They kept their distance when needed, they took control when needed, they had a great schedule set yet it didn't feel rigid. It was so fun and comfortable hanging with them all day. I cannot say enough good things about them. They also had a cool, new and modern photo booth that we added that everyone loved. Nick went above and beyond throughout this entire process and the amount of work and effort he puts in to this is worth every penny. Do not look anywhere else, you found your photographer in Nick.

I'm a Boulder wedding photographer with a passion for documenting your day as it happened and highlighting the people and relationships you value most. I'd love to spend time exploring and capturing the moments that tell the story of you.

We happened to know Jonathan already because of his work as an aerospace engineering student (yes, the guy is a genius). Turns out, he's also a genius with photography! I can't get enough of looking at our wedding photos, they are spectacular. His editorial eye is superb, you'd think he'd been doing this for decades. He's also a genuinely great person and fun to hang out with while you're getting ready and taking all of those pre-ceremony photos where it's just the 3 of your for a few hours. He kept things light and even helped out setting up the chairs for the ceremony when we first arrived at the venue because the chair rental company lapsed in doing that (a story for another review). We cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough! And no, it's not weird to ask him to take pictures of your wedding food (because we did). You'll be surprised how much you enjoy seeing the spread when you revisit the day.

We're Jess and Austin Drawhorn — married adventure elopement photographers based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. We’ve been planning & photographing elopements all over the world since 2017. We believe in social justice, equality, science, kindness – in following your heart and trusting your gut and finding your passions in life. We care about protecting the environment and respecting animals. We’re big fans of humanity too, in helping people, and we’re willing to see the best in everyone. We’re doing our best to live these beliefs every day and to lead lives we’re proud of.

I've worked with The Drawhorns for a couple of years and have witnessed them interact with all different types of people on their elopement day. Every time I get to work with them, I'm blown away by their empathy, compassion and thoughtful approach to creating an elopement experience that is truly tailored to each and every person they work with. From casual hikes to beautiful vistas to offroading adventures through the mud in the rugged San Juan mountains, The Drawhorns can do it all... and they do it all with a smile! You'll hire them as photographers but you'll discover you may just get a couple of close friends by the end of it :)

  • Classic style

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I specialize in capturing real moments with bright, bold, natural images. My goal is to help make your wedding day the best it can be and ensure that you have a meaningful, memorable, FUN wedding day to start a lifelong adventure. Being a wedding photographer is the best job ever, but when I'm not working, you can usually find me outside doing something like hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling, or taking landscape photos.

Abby was absolutely phenomenal and we have only great things to say about her. We love her bright and sunny editing style, and on top of that she is friendly and professional- all highlights of working with her. She communicated well and she's clearly very committed to helping make your wedding day go smoothly- she even shares a worksheet that has several sample wedding day timelines, and a guide to planning the day of the wedding (these were lifesavers). There is enough to worry about with the entire process of planning a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry at all about anything photography related because Abby was so on top of things. On wedding day itself, Abby seamlessly joined the party and as a result, got so many great shots of our ceremony, and candids of our family and friends that really capture the joy and love that we felt on our wedding day. I keep getting SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding pictures came out, and how you can truly feel the fun through those pictures. We cannot emphasize enough how much we love Abby!! We whole heartedly recommend her.
