Kate Merrill Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Lakewood, 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

Hi! I’m David, your wedding photographer and guide for creating a unique wedding experience. Through the experience of falling in love, my passion in photography quickly developed into a passion for capturing the intimacy, love, and connection between two people in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first consultation phone call I had with David I gained great confidence in him. He took the time to answer all my questions, and jot down my ideas. He wanted to learn about each of us in greater detail so he could capture our personalities in the photos. David didn’t pose us and make us feel like statues. He effortlessly caught candid interactions and each photo makes you relive the moment all over again. The high resolution in each photo is of the utmost quality and the quantity shared exceeded my expectations, too! David has been an absolute gem to work with and I’d recommend his services to anyone.

Santana was AMAZING! Professional in communication before the wedding to make sure he understood all the shots we needed, showed up early on the day of the wedding to check out the location and pick the perfect spot for our reveal. Even when a groomsmen went missing, he helped us problem solve the pics that could be taken and took extra time after the wedding to get all our wedding party photographed.

Proud to call Lakewood home. We love traveling our beautiful state capturing the most important moments in couple's lives! Our lead team consists of Beau and Luke (photographers) and Reese (videography.) We approach weddings in a photojournalistic style with a focus on candid/genuine moments.

From the moment we booked Blue Spruce Photography Videography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!

We cannot say enough good things about Captured by Kt! From start to finish, she made our wedding day so calm and stress-free. Her cool, collected personality made us feel completely at ease, and by the end of the day, we felt like we had gained a friend. Since we were planning our wedding from out of state, we relied on her expertise to find the perfect photo locations—and she delivered beyond our expectations. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, better than we could have ever imagined. She has a true gift for capturing both the big moments and all the little details. Not only was her work incredible, but her pricing was also very reasonable, especially for the amazing quality and service she provided. She brought so much fun and energy to our day, and we’re so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding. We highly recommend her to anyone, whether you’re local or planning from afar.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole Henshaw! Our wedding at the top of Four Points Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado was nothing short of magical, and Nicole played a huge part in making it so. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, professional, and incredibly communicative with both the bridal party and our families. She helped us capture moments we would have never thought to ask for, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Nicole made sure that every key moment was covered from start to finish- ceremony, reception, and the after-party that lasted well into the evening. Her ability to read the room and know exactly what to capture at each moment was astonishing- especially because we didn’t know every detail of what to ask for. Her intuitiveness, creativity, and beautiful eye for photography are so evident in every shot we received back. We are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer and would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you, Nicole, for helping us relive the magic of our special day through your incredible work!

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!

Shelly is a luxury award-winning wedding photographer who has photographed events all over the country and internationally.

Shelly's theory is; "the flowers will wilt, the invitations will be thrown away, and the cake will be eaten.....but the photographs will be how you remember and are brought back to that day. Photographs evoke an emotion in your when you look back on them. When you see a photo of your maid of honor laughing during the speech, or your parents tearing up during the vows....you will remember exactly how you felt that day."

For many years I was a four-star chef. I got into photography to have creative control over the pictures of my food. One day I was working for a caterer at a wedding, and the photographer asked if I could fill in for his assistant. I thought why not, and I haven’t looked back since that fateful day when I traded in my knife for a camera. While I was a chef, I felt personally responsible for my customers’ happiness. I feel the same way about photographing your wedding. I want to create a unique personal experience for every bride and groom. I like to foster a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the shoots.

Patrick was our lead photographer. He was able to work with our associate photographer and videographer smoothly. Our ceremony changed because of rain causing the space to change and be much smaller. I was worried about how this would impact the photos. I’m so happy with how the photos came out and was able to see how Patrick got creative and maneuvered around to still get great shots! We had originally chosen him for his unique style of taking photos with different focuses and the very creative pictures. He did not disappoint. My favorite photos of the day were these uniquely set up photos. We had a few hiccups along the day with our venue but the calming voice of Patrick helped me feel better about our day. Our day was cold and he encouraged our friends and family he’d get the right photos quickly so they could go inside and warm up. I would definitely recommend him for your engagement or wedding photos.

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.

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!

Hi, I'm Liv! I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Evergreen, Colorado.

I travel wherever your dream destination takes you, ensuring your elopement is as adventurous or intimate as you envision!

Working with Wander Out West was an absolute dream from start to finish. Our photos and video are like something straight out of a magazine and were exactly what we asked for in every way. We could not be more happy with the results
