From killer customer service to stunning images, I’ve got you covered every step of the way.

“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 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.

“Whew, where to begin? It’s impossible to fully capture the exceptional experience you’re guaranteed with Forest Picture Company in just a few words. My husband (!) and I chose a long engagement of just over two years. Knowing how important photographs were to both of us and our families, I started searching early for the perfect photographer/videographer. We wanted a team that would capture our true selves—no stale, stagnant, or overly posed pictures. When we found Forest Picture Company, we knew they were the perfect fit! Throughout the time we've been their clients, they've been incredibly accommodating. Their genuine and laid-back personalities make even the most camera-shy feel comfortable. They recommend doing an engagement shoot, which is included in the overall price. I wouldn’t pass up that opportunity for anything! Not only did we get to meet and hang out with Amanda and Zac before the big day, but we also became comfortable being photographed by them—something neither my husband (again—!!) nor I am generally comfortable with. Because of this, our engagement and wedding pictures turned out so much more authentic. Amanda and Zac are extremely passionate about capturing your big day, and it shows in their work. They send detailed questionnaires after meeting with you to triple-check the details and help develop a comprehensive wedding day timeline. When things don’t go according to plan, Amanda and Zac are flexible and adapt seamlessly. They know how to handle not-so-cooperative family members and friends with grace and discretion. They were so incredibly supportive and helpful when my wedding coordinator had to back out a month prior to the wedding. They also carefully highlight your pictures on their social media pages, making you feel exceptionally special! Their editing style is polished but not overly done. The pictures perfectly reflect the day's look and the overall vibe of the wedding! They add their artistic touch in a way that truly captures the essence of the moment. And mind you, the images I’m sharing are only from the sneak peek! Amanda and Zac incorporate little details and personal touches that make you feel special. They genuinely listen to what you and your partner want, and they are truly the best at what they do. Their dedication and love for their craft shine through in every photo and video they produce. We couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our special day! Because of Amanda and Zac, I now have gorgeous pictures and videos that I can always look back on to remember and cherish the most special day of my life! They gave me the best photo of myself and my father that I have ever seen; this is truly priceless. They captured my husband and I's relationship and personalities perfectly. They captured the silly little moments like my friends dancing in the rain. I will forever cherish and be thankful for these memories that I get to keep!! If you are planning a unique, intentional ceremony and reception and want photographers who can capture that vibe, this is your sign to look no further! Book Forest Picture Company! Thank you so much Amanda and Zac! -Nic and Amy”

My approach is a more natural and laid-back journalistic style. I am fun, down-to-earth, and creative. My easy-going personality helps create an environment where you can relax and be yourselves - and have fun! 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.

“Wow. Just wow. We already knew that Mark did top quality work because we had hired him to do our engagement photo shoot in October 2022, but he totally blew us away with our wedding photo shoot (November 2023). For the engagement shoot at Estes Park, he knew the area well so he was able to find special spots and capture a lot of really great shots with beautiful lighting with the fall colors. Although we (and Mark) are based in Fort Collins, Colorado, we flew Mark out for our destination wedding near Tulum, Mexico. We could have hired other local Mexican photographers out there but we trusted Mark to capture our special day and we were so glad that we did. Mark was a trooper and got to work right away in shooting our excursion to a cenote (underground sink hole) and Mayan ruins, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party, all before the big wedding day. He took the time to get to know our guests and scouted out interesting locations around the resort, cenote, and private beach site where we had our ceremony/reception for some gorgeous artistic shots. Despite the jet lag and time difference, he was very professional and enthusiastic about getting great photos. For example, our welcome party was only supposed to go from 8-10pm but it lasted until almost midnight. He patiently waited until the party was over to take some fantastic shots around the resort so that my partner and I wouldn’t be pulled away from our guests. He certainly didn’t have to do that, but that’s just one example of how Mark really went above and beyond for us. We also appreciated that he saw himself as more of an observer of the wedding and would document things, but that he balanced this with giving us subtle instructions when we were taking portrait photos, because sometimes my partner and I weren’t sure what to do with our hands or where we should look. We had a long wedding day that started with “getting ready” pictures a little after 2:00pm and the reception didn’t end until 1:30am. Mark’s energy and excitement was contagious and really helped to keep the momentum going. Then, just two days after we returned from the wedding trip, Mark informed us that he had already prepared some sneak peeks for us! We’ll get the photos later next month but we are already so nostalgic about reliving those moments. We were completely blown away by how stunning and gorgeous the photos came out. He really has a talent for bringing out the beauty of these moments with perspective, lighting, and contrasts. For example, we had a live band playing one of our songs and I ran out to get my partner to dance with me and tripped on my wedding dress and fell on the dance floor. Mark was there to capture that hilarious moment! We feel like we really made the perfect decision in hiring Mark to join us for our wedding weekend, and we hope this review will also help others who are deciding who to hire.”

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.

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!”

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.

“Hillary was so easy and fun to work with that after our engagement session with her, we didn't hesitate to book her for our fall 2021 wedding! She was warm and kind and even though we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera, my fiance and I felt like we were just hanging out with a friend instead of posing for photos. Our photos were returned promptly (even though Hillary had a newborn at home!), and we were so impressed by how many photos we got from our two hour session with her. Our photos far surpassed our expectations; Hillary did a wonderful job of capturing our genuine joy, love, and friendship, while also perfectly capturing the beauty of our state, which was really important to my fiance and I. Most importantly, our dog loved her, and Hillary was able to capture some truly adorable photos with her, too. We can't recommend her enough, and we are so excited to have her be a part of our wedding day!”

As your photographer, I prioritize truly getting to know you as a couple, offering guidance and support throughout your wedding day. My goal is to capture those intimate, fleeting moments—the ones you might forget in the whirlwind, like your grandmother’s tears as you walk down the aisle or your best friend’s belly laugh after the best man’s speech. Together, we create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that lets your genuine emotions and connections shine through. I don't just freeze moments; I capture the essence of your emotions. With careful attention to detail, I weave these real moments into a visual story that goes beyond the ordinary.

“Emilie is the sweetest soul ever. I was a very indesicive person when it came to outfits for engagement pictures and she was so helpful in deciding what would photograph best. She feels like a friend and hype woman and not a photographer. She helped us pose perfectly and it was more of a fun time. We chit chatted and talked about my fiancés and I’s relationship prior to the session so she knew everything she needed too and more. I want to get margs and chips and queso with her. She is seriously the most loving person who wants to make sure that your photos are how you want them and that they look gorgeous. I will be doing all my couple photography with her going forward and I can’t wait to support her more. Emilie is the best. Book with her and you will NOT regret it!!”

Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park will forever have my heart.

“Megan and her work was everything we could’ve imagined and more!! Every person I’ve shared our gallery with has commented on how beautiful and stunning our photos turned out. I’ve scrolled through our gallery probably 10,000 times by now. Megan was on our venue’s preferred vendor list and after checking out her website and meeting with her, I was sold. Her personality is so fun and easy going, I wish I lived in Colorado and could hangout with her more!! Neither my husband or I are good picture takers but Megan made us feel at ease, pointed us in the right direction, handled our wild groomsmen, and really captured our personalities. She was amazing at dealing with all of our family dynamics and personalities and kept the day moving and on time. Megan is on point with the little details too, helping us with our day of timeline, sent us the sweetest pre-wedding gift, and got us some sneak peaks practically before we woke up the next morning! 10/10 recommend!”

Our wedding was in Cozumel, Mexico in February, and even when Patrick and I both fell ill, he had a backup plan in place and kept me informed every step of the way. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking - they perfectly captured the beauty and joy of our special day, and I will cherish these memories forever. PHOCO is truly the best wedding photography team in Colorado, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have the chance to work with them, do not hesitate - the beautiful, flawless photos they create will be the #1 thing you love about your wedding day.”

Adventure Instead - Elopement Photographer and Experience Designer

5.0

Serves Laporte, CO

Hey I'm Maddie Mae and I'm a Colorado and destination elopement photographer, experience designer, and planning consultant for couples who want an unforgettable, deeply meaningful, and extraordinarily personal wedding experience. When you hire me—you get so much more than just a photographer. With experience traveling in 41 countries (all 7 continents) and 8 years of co-creating over 400 incredible elopements with couples all over the world... I partner with you to help you dream up & bring to life the most incredible adventure you two have ever had.

“Our elopement day was absolutely beautiful, stress-free, and adventure-filled all thanks to Maddie Mae and her talented team at Adventure Instead! We decided on an elopement before the pandemic because we really wanted a day that reflected our values, and this company delivered on those values and our hopes tenfold. We highly recommend Adventure Instead! Not only are we absolutely thrilled with the final product of our photos, but Adventure Instead really helped us long before our actual elopement day. They assisted us in homing in on what our perfect location would be (since we were coming into Colorado from out of state). Their knowledge of locations, hikes, and alpine lakes was incredibly helpful, and of course made the planning easier. Before our big day, we video chatted with Maddie Mae so she could show us how the sun would look at specific times in our exact location, helping us pick our ceremony time and plan our hike. She even shared the links to the same pack raft and paddle she had so that all three of us could get to an island for the ceremony. On the day of our elopement, we met up with Maddie Mae and we both felt very comfortable with her as we hiked up to our location. Her willingness to paddle all of her photography equipment to an island to allow us to have an incredibly unique and intimate ceremony was really amazing and we so greatly appreciated it. Although she was on the island with us while we exchanged our vows, she was able to keep some distance to allow us to have that moment, just the two of us. And she was still able to capture each and every beautiful moment! We paddled back to the shore and had a lovely little picnic and read letters from our families, all while Maddie Mae took the most gorgeous photos. Even for our portraits, she instructed us to pretend she wasn't there, and in so many ways, the photographs capture the small glances, intimate reaches, and happy, knowing smiles as if it really was just the two of us there all evening long. The photos speak for themselves, but this team is also incredibly professional and responsive to questions. If you have had your heart set on a romantic getaway in the beautiful outdoors, trust Adventure Instead with your elopement or intimate wedding - you will not be disappointed!”

Serves Laporte, CO

I’m a husband, dog dad, fisher, hiker and lover of life. Currently based in Colorado and pursuing the dream of photographing weddings on digital & analog. I was raised overseas with a life full of travel, always drawn to carrying a camera and documenting all of life’s fleeting moments. My general approach to photography is intentional, candid and laid back. You can find me listening to Jazz (Art Pepper, John Coltrane) while working on my 99 Land Cruiser. I cherish the good things in life, like porch hangs with my wife and pup. Time with family and good conversations with those that I love.

“Samuel Marz Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, their communication was excellent, clear, and efficient - they made the entire process stress-free. The quality of their work is truly timeless, with a nostalgic, moody aesthetic that captured the essence of our special day. Our favorite part was the beautiful film photography, which has given us photographs that we will cherish forever. Sam brought our vision to life and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”

Wild Bliss Photography

Starts at $3,000
Serves Laporte, CO

When we aren’t working you can usually find us hanging out around Fort Collins. We love breweries, eateries, and all things local. Most of the time you can find us hanging out on a lawn sipping a fruit beer with our husbands and all our crazy boys. Our families, after all, are our “Wild Bliss”. We think it’s okay to embrace all the craziness that life has to bring, that’s how the blissful memories are made! Family is our why. It’s why we wanted to become photographers and capture this beautiful life for ourselves and for our clients.

“We hired Wild Bliss for both our engagement and wedding photos and I am so in love with how they turned out. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but Candice and Jessica made it such a relaxing, fun experience that you can't even tell! They were responsive, friendly, and super flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to covid. I highly recommend Wild Bliss!”

We started our elopement photography and videography business when we realized that there were so many couples who wanted a completely different wedding experience. A wedding that was solely focused on them, one without expectations, one where they could do exactly what they wanted to do. We felt right at home when we documented our first Colorado adventure elopement. We get the incredible opportunity to combine our passion for the outdoors with our passion for wedding photography and videography all while getting to meet the coolest couples in the world.

“We loved working with Bailey from our first Zoom chat to our wedding day and after. She gave us thorough directions and recommendations. She gave an excellent vendor list. She gave recommendations of how to get the marriage license, since we were from another state. On our wedding day, it felt as if we had known her for years. She made us so comfortable, especially having someone we don’t know capture our vows. It was such a special day, and my only regret is not booking her for longer than our 2 hours. She even stayed an hour late helping capture our details photos. Thank you so much Bailey. Lost Gulch Overlook Boulder, CO 6.5.24”
