Juniper Ink Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

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.

I cannot speak highly enough about mine and my husband's experience with Juniper Ink and Mira herself. We were coming off a somewhat difficult wedding experience, having cancelled originally due to COVID and deciding to do a makeup reception to celebrate our earlier courthouse marriage. Mira made the day feel just as special as a "real" wedding day, despite the lack of ceremony! Mira navigated our urban wedding in downtown Denver with ease and was able to arrange AMAZING shots in different parts of the city. Her photos captured the fun, relaxed vibe of the entire event in conjunction with getting more romantic shots of us. We felt so at ease working with Mira, despite being self-identified awkward picture takers, but her direction was incredibly easy to follow and resulted in incredible posed and candid shots. Not only that, but she's just a great person to banter with and get to know in general! We cannot thank her enough for making our make-up day so special, and highly recommend her for any couple looking to capture their amazing day!

“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
Words cannot describe how grateful we are that Nick Benson was our wedding photographer. I had been following his photos for a few years and could not wait for the day that you would be our wedding photographer. From the very beginning we knew we had made the right decision, so much so that we had referred him to my sister before he even did our photos! Our engagement shoot was perfect, he worked with us to make us comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture the best photos despite difficult weather, wind and people passing by. Our wedding day was no different. He was not even phased by the rain and still managed to capture some amazing photos! Nick has a keen eye captures moments that convey the emotion that was felt as it was happening. He is calm, resourceful and incredibly professional. His passion for photography as well as his connection to his clients makes him an amazing photographer. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Oury Memories provided fantastic wedding photography for our special day. Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Sarah is great! She is so fun and easy to work with. She asked me what I wanted and made it happen! She made my day less stressful and worked around me and my huge, chaotic wedding party. We loved Sarah and her pictures are gorgeous!

Gesina Marie Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

Thanks for checking out Gesina Marie Photography. I earned my Bachelors in Art History and Photography from the University of Colorado. I would describe my style of photographing as candid, with editorial sprinkled in. Smiles should be natural, not forced, and weddings should be about getting marries, not a photoshoot. My photos capture the natural emotions and fleeting in-between moments of every wedding. From small glances at each other to the chocolate covered ring bearer, I want my photos to tell a story, your story.

We are so happy we had Gesina as our photographer for our wedding day. We said we cared most about candid photos and didn't want to feel like we were taking so many pictures that we weren't enjoying our own party. I also told her that I was worried my husband and I would be awkward having our photos taken. Gesina assured me that we would be great and she was right. She and her team were a major part of why our wedding day was so fun and relaxed. And we absolutely love how the photos turned out. She brilliantly captured us, our families, the beauty of our venue, and perhaps most impressively, the spirit of the day. She not only made us look good but the happiness I remember feeling that day is obvious throughout the album. There is a good mix of candids, posed family photos, and more artistic shots. I can't recommend her enough!

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I started my wedding photography business over 7 years ago after working as a Climate Scientist. I decided Climatology wasn't my passion, so I decided to switch to something I was passionate about. I am passionate about living life to its fullest and capturing everything that makes life beautiful. I document my personal life on film because I believe it captures life most honestly. I love to spend time with my husband, our Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever, train for marathons, read books, and listen to all of Taylor Swift's discography.

Where to even begin… Aurelia was the most fun yet calming presence at our wedding. Some of the highlights from our day was spending time doing our couples portraits with her. I cannot even begin to explain how elated we are with our photos - and we’ve only gotten our sneak peaks back! She has such a talent for photography and the way she’s able to really capture the emotions of the moment in one photo is truly magical. Looking at the photos brought me to tears. I wish we could do it all again just to get more photos from her! Moral of the story, book Aurelia and you will not regret it ️ 1000/5 stars!!!️️️️️️

I graduated with a degree in photography but the most important thing I gained from college was a group of friends I can call on for a mental health check. I'm "the baby" of a very large Mexican-Puerto Rican family. I'm a traveler and lover of experiencing cultures and food. My passion for people and their stories has been the drive behind my business. While photography has taken over much of my life other things that bring me joy are summer BBQs with my very large family, a cocktail by the pool or planning our next vacation. I enjoy having conversations that go deep - those that make up the story of who we are today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot describe how amazing this experience has been with Yaz as our photographer. From day one she was kind, fun, and understanding. Our photo highlights made me cry (happy tears) and we couldn’t have imagined better pictures! They were beyond expectation in that we gave Yaz what we thought we wanted and she and Jenna blew it out of the water! Our night will never be forgotten because it is now frozen forever in perfection. Thank you, Yaz! And thank you, Jenna!

Hi I'm Lizzy! I'm a wedding photographer based in the crazy-beautiful mountains of Summit County, Colorado with my husband and daughter.

Lizzy took both my engagement and wedding photos. She completely blew us away. Professional, personable and caring! The photos were so great and she captured many special candid moments of us and our guests. She quickly delivered a few sneak peeks within days of our wedding so we had something to post and send to family and our full gallery was not far behind.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)
