Autumn is a spectacular photographer with an empathetic nature. We felt she really listened to what we wanted. And what she couldn’t find she created. She captured personal, one of a kind, moments for our engagement and “getting ready” photos. Directing us while keeping us both relaxed and laughing when we needed it most. For that we are eternally grateful.

Nicole Ryann Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Merino, CO

I’m Nicole, a Colorado-based documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer. If you are looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, capture your relationship candidly, and serve as a knowledgable resource throughout the planning process, I'm your girl!

My wife and I Coordinated DJ'ed a couple's wedding that hired Nicole for their photographer. Leading up to the wedding, her communication, creativity, experience, and professionalism really shone through! The venue didn't really have a spot for a first look that resonated with our couple, so she was able to suggest the perfect location, organize the logistics, and made sure everything adheared to the plan day-of. Come wedding day, she was organized, looked very professional (you'd be surprised how some photographers show up), and understood the schedule inside-and-out. As a DJ, it's important to me that team members are aware of what's going on and ready to go when it is time to go. She was on point the whole night. All these details make for a smooth and stress-free wedding for clients, but we know what truly matters, her artwork! She is also one of the most talented photographers we've worked with. She's really good about getting her clients comfortable in front of the lens and unmatched when it comes to capturing special moments! If you're looking for the perfect photographer for your wedding, she's your girl. Not only will you get beautiful wedding photos, all you vendors will thank you for adding a true professional to the team!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were very happy to find photography in our budget through Yellow Paddle. I didn’t really interact with the company at all, but Mark and Santana were both excellent. Our primary photographer was Mark Whitrock. He did our engagement photos and our wedding. He suggested a beautiful location for our engagement photos and they turned out great. He used both film and digital which was not something we had an opinion on, but we really loved how the film ones turned out. Mark had good suggestions for posing and was also happy to try out our ideas. He was easy to get a hold of over text as well as having a phone call with us right before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. He was respectful, approachable, timely and easy to work with. We love how the outdoor photos from our wedding turned out, they were true to life in style/color. He also caught some candid shots that I hadn’t thought of which were a nice surprise. Santana Garcia was our second shooter and his work is stunning. His editing style was not something I was particularly looking for but I’m in love with how the photos turned out. The style and lighting is beautiful and the vividness of red (our wedding color) still came through. I didn’t communicate with him directly before the wedding, but he was timely, easy to work with, and brought some of his own ideas which we appreciated. He caught detail shots at both the ceremony and the reception I hadn’t thought to ask for. Dancing was a big and important part of our reception and he did an amazing job capturing crisp, beautiful photos of people in motion in dimmer lighting. We had a panicked moment the night before where we realized we wanted the ceremony to be recorded (not edited or anything special, just captured) and Mark and Santana made it happen for us which was truly above and beyond their jobs and meant a lot to us.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

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!

Mark is WONDERFUL!! He is super easy to get in touch with and a great communicator. He was happy to make changes when I needed them and was very clear with what he needed from me. He worked with a huge family to coordinate family photos and wrangle all the people going in 1000 different directions. He was very professional the whole time and my guests even remarked on how great it was to work with him. I think his photos speak for themselves, but they are sooo gorgeous!!
