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
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!

Kate Merrill Photography

  • Serves Lafayette, 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

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I'm a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding. Capturing the real love of my couples is what's most important to me. I love working with couples to create images that represent their authentic and raw adoration for one another. Outside of your big day, I love tagging along with both of you on a date to the white mountains or even just drinking hot coffee and laughing on cold winter days. I am passionate about capturing a real & unrestrained version of my clients.

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.

Nationally recognized rock & roll photographer makes you the rock star on your wedding day! Combining the latest in film like color and modern art photography, with the classic simplicity of black and white photo-journalism. Lisa leaves no detail uncovered.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words do not do justice to our experience with Lisa. How do you describe working with a true professional who handled every single aspect of our wedding photography flawlessly. Whether it was pictures of us, our families or our friends, she far exceeded our expectations. The biggest compliment we could give her is when we were looking through our wedding album, we said over and over again. 'do you remember her being there for that' and 'how did she get that picture' and 'she captured us (or this moment) perfectly'! We highly encourage everyone to work Lisa to capture your most important life events. She is truly a 'next level' photographer!

Larissa is the. BEST. She is not only a seriously talented photographer, she is just a really amazing person too. I am so thankful that we booked Larissa for our engagement and wedding photos. She has a unique talent of making you feel completely relaxed and yourself, and this is apparent in all of our photos. She captured our genuine smiles, laughs, and tender moments--each photo feels completely organic. Larissa took the time to get to know us as a couple, (how we have fun, how we love each other, etc) and used that information to make our photos and experience with her perfectly tailored to us. I genuinely doubt any other photographer would have been able to take such beautiful, authentic, epic photos of us. Seriously. Plus we just had so much fun with her. And besides our actual photos, Larissa was the biggest source of relief on our wedding day. When rain was threatening our wedding, she assured us we would still get all the shots and everything would be okay. She helped wrangle our family, kept us on time, was game for all the couple (and alpaca) shots we wanted, among so many more things. And she was our biggest advocate on our wedding day. I can't count how many times I told my husband through our wedding planning and wedding day, "thank goodness for Larissa". And now that our wedding season is over, I am so grateful that I can count Larissa as my friend too. She is just too wonderful, fun and sweet. If you're debating whether to inquire with Larissa, just do it. Hands down, one of the best decisions of our whole wedding. She is the best.

I have known and worked with Beth @ Beth Photography for 16 years and I cannot recommend her enough! I am a wedding planner and I give my clients several recommendations on Photographers, and they all almost always hire Beth after reviewing her work and meeting / speaking with her. Her photography style, flexibility, amazing eye, fun and easy going personality are what draw people to her. She is amazing and her work is stunning. She always delivers what clients specifically want and knows how to get people relaxed and out of their "shells." She is my go-to for headshots and family photos as well (I personally use her!).

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.

A little fun stuff about me: I believe in goodnight kisses and holding hands as you fall asleep. My wife and I have been married for 10 years and share our house with four furry children, a foster kiddo or two, and two sons, Easton and Finn. I’m often quiet, but I could talk about The Bachelorette for hours. I believe that exploring is more important than getting to your destination. I believe the perfect day is an afternoon in the mountains & a night cuddling at home. I re-read my favorite books because a good story never gets old. I believe in planning your dreams

Working with Jennie is always such a pleasure! Not only does her work always blow us away, but she also has amazing communication skills. Jennie knows exactly what she is doing and is full of professionalism, but also shows her sweet and caring nature while we are working together. Any time Jennie is the wedding photographer while we are planning, we know that the clients are in great hands because she takes such great care of them at all times!

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 :)
