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 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!

My approach is a more natural and laid-back journalistic style. I am fun, down-to-earth, and creative.

I excel at capturing the scenery and feel of your location while still showcasing you and your personalities. I bring over 21 years of wedding experience into my work so I have the skills needed to do an amazing job in any location. I am very keen to provide outstanding service during the whole process and to make my contribution to your wedding day a memorable one.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Mark as both our engagement and wedding photographer. As two individuals who typically feel extremely uncomfortable and unnatural in front of the camera, we were worried about how our engagement and wedding photographs would turn out, but we both knew how important having great photos was for both of us. From the very first meeting with Mark, we were extremely relieved to learn right away that he made us both feel comfortable and quickly felt like a fit. He made us feel as comfortable as possible and he made our engagement photo experience fun. Fast forward to our wedding day, and in a day filled with pure chaos and anxiety, Mark was a constant sense of calm, making us feel at ease, letting us focus on all the beautiful parts of our day knowing he would capture every special moment. Mark had our confidence and trust the entire way and he did not disappoint. He made sure that the chaos of the day did not disrupt the goals we had for capturing our memories exactly as we had hoped and planned with him in the weeks prior. He was organized, efficient and took the stress away from us. We are so thrilled with how gorgeous our day was captured. Our photos exceed our expectations and bring us to tears. It truly captures the love of the day and our essence perfectly. The only problem now is how we pick between them! We are so thankful for Mark - we highly recommend you pick him to capture all of your special moments!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy? I believe in capturing the big moments, but the small moments too. I believe in being true to yourself and true to each other. I believe in capturing true emotions, both good and bad. I believe that photographs are keys that can unlock the past after years have gone by, and that looking at the past is how we move towards the future.

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
Working with Hillary on our wedding day was a dream. I’m not a huge fan of having my picture taken (but knew this was a day I’d want photographed!) and Hillary made me feel so comfortable all day long. When it came to photos at our wedding I was probably a lot less prepared than most, but Hillary went with the flow the whole time and then captured every single detail I could have possibly wanted but had forgotten to specify. I love going back through our photos and am just so thankful that Hillary was there to capture everything from the big moments to the smallest details. If your goal is beautiful photos and working with someone who will feel more like a friend than a vendor, I cannot recommend Hillary Shedd Photography enough.

I am based in Fort Collins, CO. I am a wife, a mama of three girls, + love what I do. For the past few years, I have bounced around a bit + have had the privilege of photographing weddings + families all over the country. To me, photography is more than your photos, it's your whole experience. My hope is that we get to know each other personally because I want to be a part of telling YOUR story. I want you to feel the freedom to be yourselves in the exact season of life you are in.

We had Jenna photograph our wedding in the mountains of New Mexico in October 2021, and we could not be happier with the overall experience. Jenna was so easy to get ahold of and communicate with, and really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted out of the photos she took. The photos came out beautiful and she captured all the magic and love of our special day. Would 10000% recommend.

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!!
