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.

Estes Park, Colorado-based micro wedding & elopement photographer for nature-loving couples who crave a wedding day that's laid-back and uniquely them. Together, let’s create a day that reflects who you are, surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors and all the things you love most.

Amber was beyond amazing to work with. My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose her to photograph our elopement. She encouraged us to make the day truly about the two of us and she crafted the perfect timeline so we could have a relaxing, intimate and memorable day that we’ll never forget. Aside from how great the actual day was, the photos turned out incredible and we’re so lucky to have them to look back on for the rest of our lives. We eloped at the Sand Dunes and Amber was a perfect guide throughout the entire day. We had a lot of ups and downs to deal with (food poisoning, unexpected freezing weather, hail on our motorcycle ride) and she handled it all like a champ and helped to move activities around, I’m really not sure what we would have done without her. She clearly has a huge passion for her work and it truly shows in her stunning photos. If you’re on the fence about eloping, just do it ) Thanks for everything, Amber!

Mark is WONDERFUL!! He is super easy to get in touch with and a great communicator. He was happy to make changes when I needed them and was very clear with what he needed from me. He worked with a huge family to coordinate family photos and wrangle all the people going in 1000 different directions.

Hi, I'm Hillary! When I’m not photographing your most important moments, I’m hiking in the morning light with my family, creating videos for conservation based non-profits, reading the latest book in Reese Witherspoon’s book club, and eating oreos–cookies are my weakness! My favorite stories to tell are always LOVE stories. My photography style is to focus on precious candid moments that naturally occur between people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to reach for your wedding album and have all of the memories come flooding back—the bliss, sentiment, light, and laughter from the day you began your greatest adventure yet.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hillary was wonderful to work with! My fiance and I found Hillary via Facebook and booked an engagement photoshoot for July of 2020. Our experience with Hillary was comfortable, positive, and relaxed. We are so in love with our engagement photos, and literally cannot stop looking at them. We are very grateful we found Hillary and cannot wait to work with her for our Wedding day this year.  I was apprehensive about taking engagement photos because I felt they could potentially be corny or awkward, but Hillary is such a professional and makes you feel so comfortable. Her guidance throughout the engagement session and her reassuring energy allowed my fiance and I to relax and have fun with the shoot ultimately leading to the best photos. Looking forward to having Hillary be a part of our big day!

Weddings are special to us! The way we see it, when your wedding day is over, you’ll walk away with two things: your marriage and your wedding photos.

At PHOCO, we don't take this responsibility lightly and we would be honored to capture your wedding day just as it unfolds.

From the moment we first reached out to PHOCO, their communication was prompt, calm and incredibly helpful. Patrick and the PHOCO team were an absolute joy to work with, and their work is simply stunning. Our wedding was in Cozumel, Mexico in February, and even when Patrick and I both fell ill, he had a backup plan in place and kept me informed every step of the way. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking - they perfectly captured the beauty and joy of our special day, and I will cherish these memories forever. PHOCO is truly the best wedding photography team in Colorado, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I’m a husband, dog dad, fisher, hiker and lover of life. Currently based in Colorado and pursuing the dream of photographing weddings on digital & analog. I was raised overseas with a life full of travel, always drawn to carrying a camera and documenting all of life’s fleeting moments. My general approach to photography is intentional, candid and laid back. You can find me listening to Jazz (Art Pepper, John Coltrane) while working on my 99 Land Cruiser. I cherish the good things in life, like porch hangs with my wife and pup. Time with family and good conversations with those that I love.

Samuel Marz Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, their communication was excellent, clear, and efficient - they made the entire process stress-free. The quality of their work is truly timeless, with a nostalgic, moody aesthetic that captured the essence of our special day. Our favorite part was the beautiful film photography, which has given us photographs that we will cherish forever. Sam brought our vision to life and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

An old friend recently got married. Before she received her wedding photos back from their (amazing) photographer she had compiled her friends cell phone photos to share. She described it as the ‘raw footage’ before the professional photos were released. I love that so much. I feel like that’s how this film, documentary style I have feels. The images I give you feel like the raw footage from your closest friends and family.

Elise is the best in the biz! She is so easy-going, and professional, and her photos always bring us so much joy. We hire her every year for our family photos and wish we had known her back when we got married - guess we'll just have to hire her when we renew our vows! I love that she loves film photography, and that she's super easy to work with - thanks for all the memories, Elise!!

Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
We initially went with Sound Originals out of cost consideration and ease of booking because their combined photo/video package seemed so much more cost effective than many of the quotes we were getting from individual photographers and videographers. We assumed therefore that the quality might be a bit diminished by comparison, but were quite pleasantly surprised to discover that this was not the case! We are beyond pleased with the coverage they provided of our wedding and reception, and would certainly recommend Sound Originals to anyone seeking photo/video of their big day. Our team on the day of the wedding were absolute rock stars. Kate, Trung, and Travis all were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in ensuring we had excellent photos and video--both candids and plandids. We're so grateful to each of them for their excellent work! If you're considering booking Sound Originals, there is one practical consideration we might offer, however: Their business model seems streamlined to provide a standardized product and level of quality to many clients at once by contracting with local photographers and videographers--this is great for ensuring that clients know what to expect visually and that the company has backup photographers ready in case any members of the assigned team can't make it, but this also seems to come at the cost of personal touch when communicating with the company and the photo/video team. Our communications with them were always through a portal on their website and often felt rather impersonal. This was a trade off we were perfectly fine with, given the very affordable price we paid for our package and the piece of mind in knowing that even if our lead photographer got sick or something, someone else would be there to fill in. If you, however, require a high level of customization or personal touch and want to cultivate a close relationship with your photographer, then you may want to hire a photographer/team directly.

Tomi was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. His communication style is sensitive, direct, thoughtful, kind, and friendly - they truly felt like a friend at our wedding who loved taking pictures. The quality of their work is nothing short of perfection, with visionary, long-lasting images that captured all the little details we didn't even think about, like asking guests to hide their phones or stand up straight. Tomi went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day ever, and we are overjoyed with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. Having him at the wedding felt like having a friend there who was passionate about clicking the best pictures for you, rather than a business transaction. He gets along with your guests better than you do. Everyone was asking about him at the end. Now I can’t imagine having another photographer. He has spoilt us, and I will literally reach out to him for every single event we want photographed, he’s become a staple name, synonymous with photography.

We loved having Santana and Anna as our photographers! We used the 1.5 package, and Santana was our primary photographer. They were highly professional, easy to work with, and punctual. Santana had a video chat with us a couple weeks before our wedding, and he made sure to cover every detail of the day so that we would be happy with the photos! They were very kind throughout our entire day, and they were great with coordinating our family photos so we could stay on schedule. The photos we received afterwards were absolutely gorgeous! Santana and Anna made sure to capture our favorite moments, and even did an extra photo session during golden hour that gave us the most beautiful photos. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
