Kate Merrill Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Golden, 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.

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've been photographing and videotaping weddings and events for over 24 years. We really enjoy being able to document a this special time in a couple's beginning. Often times we become friends with them and get to follow their life journey after the wedding by also documenting other special moments like births, birthdays and more.

Working with Jamie and Crystalline Photography & Video was amazing! She was so communicative during the preparation process and after the wedding. During the wedding, she made sure we knew that she was on top of things and assisted where needed, but then we barely saw her or her team which was exactly what we needed to be able to enjoy the wedding! Afterwards, she sent us an online gallery of photos so we could look at them as well as our highlight reel while we were waiting for the video and the rest of the photos, all which she communicated via email in detail. Jamie also sent me reminders of when payments were due (and as a forgetful ADHD bride, I greatly appreciated that). Jamie and her team produced INCREDIBLE work and I’m so happy I picked Crystalline Photography & Video to document our wedding! Thank you!!

What started as a passion project in Texas back in 2020 has led me to Golden, Colorado, where I continue to tell stories through my camera. I focus on blending timeless portraits with a documentary approach, capturing both beautifully posed moments and the raw, in-between emotions that make your story truly yours. My goal is to create images that reflect your authentic self, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Jenny was recommended to us by a friend and wow we could not be happier!! She is warm, kind, and made us feel so comfortable. The engagement shoot being included in the wedding package was so helpful because not only do we have beautiful engagement photos to look back on, we also got to know Jenny and she got to know us before the wedding! The day of our wedding she was punctual, calm, and she kept things moving perfectly so we got all the shots we wanted. And of course the best part is that her photos are STUNNING!! Everyone we show them to has been blown away by how gorgeous they are. Highly recommend Jenny for a fairly priced, fantastic photographer!

Choosing Katie was by far one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day!!! We are both professional photographers and videographers so this was a tough decision for us. But the second we found Katie, we knew we needed to hire her. Not only are her pictures clean, crisp, beautifully presented and creative, they are also timeless. We wanted our personalities to shine and she captured our day beyond perfectly. I stare at our photos in awe regularly. Beyond her incredible talent, Katie is truly the most awesome person you will meet. We’ve become good friends who get dinner and play in softball leagues together!!! She brought so much love and light to our day and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I will always hire Katie for our photography needs!!!! And you should too!!!

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?)

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.

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!

My goal as a wedding photographer is to give you an amazing experience, one as unique and authentic as your love!

We found Ashlyn in this group in the early planning stages while looking for an engagement photographer. When she posted she wanted to shoot at a location where my husband and I happened to have met, we went for it. After we got the incredible photos back, I knew I wanted her to do our wedding. Ashlyn felt like my bestie/hype woman/go to human. If I was stressed or overwhelmed, Ashlyn and her husband, Brandon, helped bring me back to center. She should honestly be part planner too with the way she kept me on task and on time, got on her hands and knees and bustled my dress in 2 minutes without hesitation, and seemingly managed to be in 4729 places at once, always capturing the best shots of the moment. She moved family and friends quickly through the group/family shots without sacrificing quality, hiked around in the forest with us for amazing shots, and dealt with our 140 lb Great Dane with ease. Ashlyn and Brandon are true professionals, with the care and attention they put into their work clearly shining through in the incredible photos. I hope to have them photograph my family and I through all walks of life in the future and can’t recommend enough!

And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments. 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 someone and be loved in return.

Was initially a little intimidated about choosing a wedding photographer. I think wedding photography across the board is gorgeous, but I knew I wanted someone who understood my vision of vibrant color, playful portraits, and capturing the details my husband and I had so carefully picked. Came across Nicole on a Facebook ad-- not remotely expecting to find a vendor that way. I couldn't stop looking at the photos and reached out to her right away. We had so many great vendors at our November 2023 wedding, but Nicole was on the tippy top of that list in terms of communication, professionalism, time management, energy, and willingness to hear our input. It's been months, but I find myself getting sucked into new photos all the time-- there's that many great shots! One of my bridesmaids is also a wedding photographer, so I asked for her input in hiring Nicole and she was very impressed with her portfolio, her pricing, etc.

My name is Sophia, and I am a dedicated wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the most cherished moments of your special day. My journey into photography began out of a love for storytelling through images. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a profession as I found joy in documenting the love and connection between couples on their wedding day. Each wedding is a new story, a new adventure, and I am honored to be a part of such significant moments in people’s lives.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, Sophia was full of energy and brought such a positive, upbeat vibe to our day. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, capturing both the big moments and the little ones in between. Her enthusiasm was contagious, making every session fun and effortless. Our wedding party commented all day on how much fun Sophia was to have. The photos turned out even more beautiful than we imagined, perfectly capturing the emotions of the day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also an absolute joy to work with, we highly recommend Sophia!

I married my middle school sweetheart - he is my best friend in the whole world. We have three fur babies who I am severely obsessed + attached to. Oliver, Bentley, + Miley. Meow, meow, woof. ODESZA completely rules our life, so much so that we got matching tattoos to commemorate our love for them + their music. I do have a secret identity - total rave babe. Other than photography, going to festivals + concerts at Red Rocks is my favorite hobby, ever. I'm an alumni of The University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Your go-to person for any + all Office quotes. Shark week is my favorite week of all the weeks. I drink way too much Prosecco.

Matt & I just did our engagement photos with Dani recently and absolutely loved every second of it ! We have never had professional photos taken before and she made it so easy and so comfortable for us ! Matt actually said he had fun ( and he hates his photo taken) On top of the ease of our shoot, the sneak peeks she sent us THE NEXT DAY we’re absolutely breath taking. I CAN’T WAIT till our wedding day !!

My love for God’s creation, as well as the unexpected, drives the organic quality of my work. I enjoy shooting the most natural, candid moments that unfold at a wedding to genuinely document the essence of the occasion and the backdrop. Whether nature brings rain or shine, order or chaos—it’s your story, and I’d be honored to capture it. I live in the Denver area and work throughout the state of Colorado, primarily at mountain destinations like Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Keystone, Telluride, and beyond. I shoot digital exclusively with the Nikon Z6ii using fixed lenses. ​

Jamee is the best. She's incredibly sweet and personable; we had so much fun planning and chatting with her leading up to the wedding, and she helped us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She's also a true pro with a ton of experience. We fully trusted her to capture our big day. And, she did. Our photos are everything we could have hoped for and more. We have gorgeous portraits, stunning photos of us in the mountain landscape, plenty of detail shots of our wedding day, and family/friend photos too. These photos will mean so much to us forever.

I believe the most beautiful moments are the unplanned ones—the glances, laughter, and quiet exchanges that tell your unique story. I specialize in documentary-style photography with a touch of editorial flair, blending candid emotion with timeless artistry. My goal is to capture your wedding day as it unfolds naturally, while also creating elegant portraits that feel authentic and unforgettable. Whether you’re planning a mountain elopement or a grand celebration, I’m here to preserve every meaningful moment so you can relive your day’s magic for years to come.

After a horribly awful experience with the orginal wedding day photographer, Florii came through and more than exceeded our expectations! Several months after our wedding, Florii met up with us in the early morning hours to take us on an adventure and take all the photos we had dreamed of! From racing up the mountain to make sure we got that perfect sunrise glow to letting us dance to our wedding song in the forest...she was there to capture it all. My home is now covered in gorgeous photos that look like they are made for a magazine cover! We can't thank Florii enough!

Hello! I am Iveth, a wedding photographer based in Colorado. I am the lead photographer, my husband is the second shooter and videographer. I officially launched my business in 2021 but have always had a camera on hand since I was 7. Initially I captured the beauty of nature and landscapes but shifted my focus and started capturing the love and connection between people against Colorado's Stunning backdrops in 2020 and haven't looked back. We will become besties if you are drawn to bright and airy photographs, love wine, traveling, spending your free time hiking and exploring the outdoors.

Working with Iveth was an such a great experience. She's very professional, and works well with all the vendors. She's focused, driven, and knows exactly how to get the best out of everyone she interacts with, whether it's a client or a vendor. We all felt comfortable approaching her and asking questions. She was also very yielding of our requests. Best part? her talent! I loved the final result and how she elevated everyone else's work with her final photos. Highly recommended!

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a witness and documenter of truth. I've specialized in Wedding & Portrait Photography for the last 10 years and am grateful to call in my full time career. I’ve been blessed with photographing over 180 weddings and it is truly the biggest honor to witness a wedding day and freeze it in time. In my free time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with family, friends, and cats. I love adventuring with my husband and feel most at home being outdoors exploring new places.

I don’t think works can describe how instrumental Kimberly was to making our wedding planning and wedding day memorable. From our first phone call we instantly knew we found the right person. Our engagement pictures turned out better than we imagined and my boudoir shoot was the most empowering experience ever!! We both never take pictures so had anticipated this process to be uncomfortable, but had the complete opposite experience. She is now stuck with us for every major milestone! Not only did we have fun but truly felt that our personalities were captured and the joy she captured was palpable. This was the best investment we made to fully capture such a memorable!! Our guests also had nothing but positive things to say and echoed our sentiments on how enjoyable she made our day!

All that I can say is to BOOK CASEY for all of your photography needs! Casey first photographed me for my college graduation pictures, and I loved them so much that I knew for years that I wanted Casey to photograph me when I got married. I reached back out to Casey many years later when I got engaged and she was so professional and responsive from the beginning. First, my husband and I eloped in the Italian Dolomites and Casey was the only person to come with us to photograph the most special day of our lives. From the beginning, Casey helped me plan the entire elopement day with logistics, picture spots, and to develop a plan. We talked about some different editing styles so she could make sure to deliver exactly what we wanted. Casey woke up early to help me get ready and was there for us at every step of the day. We went to several photo locations all over the Dolomites and I honestly couldn’t be happier if I tried with the photos from our elopement. The most beautiful pictures I have ever seen and the most amazing memories to have for the rest of our lives. The elopement was extremely nice with Casey there, and we felt comfortable the entire time and will remember her for the rest of our lives. We then dropped her off at the airport and went on the rest of our honeymoon. After our honeymoon (untraditional) we had a wedding celebration at home and Casey photographed that as well. Before that day we made a template of every picture that we wanted to make sure she didn’t miss any special shots with family and friends. She captured every single detail and more of this day and again delivered the most beautiful pictures. I can’t recommend or thank Casey enough for what she has done for us. I plan to continue to use her to photograph all the special moments of our lives. If you want a photographer that is extremely attentive, kind, patient, artistic, and professional book Casey now! You will not be disappointed by her ability to capture memories that last a lifetime.

I'm head over heels for my fireman, patient mama of two (9 and 4), oldest of 5, and a lover of dark beer and other people's love stories. I encourage my couples to push for what they want on their wedding day- whether that's a white dress on a golf course or something free from tradition. My own wedding was at our first date spot (a coffee/whiskey/donut shop), Carbon Coffee, Downtown Denver. It was incredibly meaningful and one of the best days of my life. I'd like to ensure my clients the same wonderful memories. *Discounts to active military and first responders!

We are so thankful to know Katie and have had the privilege of having her shoot our engagement session and wedding! We were supposed to get married in Mexico in 2020 and we were planning on flying her down for the wedding. When the wedding was cancelled due to COVID, she was so wonderful--she made sure that we knew that she was going to work with us for whenever we were able to reschedule. My husband is not one to feel comfortable behind the camera. However, Katie immediately made us both feel comfortable and gave us prompts that made the entire experience so much fun! We've definitely found our photographer life! As our family grows, I know she will be the one to capture every moment. Her photos speak for themselves--they are truly pieces of art! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hello, My name is Casey. I am a Colorado Native. From an early age I found value in the necessity for self-sufficiency. Because of this, I am a hard-worker who takes pride in what I am passionate about. I found my interest in photography while in school for media production; I continue to foster that interest and passion by continuously learning and letting my camera lens lead the way.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Casey on shoots countless times, whether through one of the contractors he shoots with or his personal business. Each and every time is an absolute joy! You can tell how much he cares about each client and shoot. He goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease during the day/shoot. I've worked with a lot of photographers but have yet to work with someone that takes the care, time and does the little things to go above and beyond. I always learn something new while working with him even though I have been shooting for years. Do yourself a favor and book with him, you won't regret it!
