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!

Tomi Photopositive 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Merino, CO

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

We were thrilled with Yellow Paddle Photography for our wedding photos. Marissa was so kind and responsive in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she always got back to us right away with any questions we had. On the wedding day itself, she helped make us feel relaxed and confident. When my wife and I were unsure of how to pose or stand, she guided us into flattering positions.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone.

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
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

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.

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

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.

She stayed in contact throughout the entire process; before, up to, during, and after our wedding. A lot of my guests also commented on how wonderful she was. She is professional, friendly, and a EXCELLENT photographer. I was blown away by the pictures when I got them. Many of them are fairytale like. I can honestly say that my husband and I plan to stay in touch with Rebeca on a professional and friendly level, also with the hopes to work with her again in the future. I HIGHLY recommend her services. It was probably one of the best choices I made when planning our wedding. We love you Becky!!

We hired Mark as both our engagement and wedding photographer. As two individuals who typically feel extremely uncomfortable and unnatural in front of the camera, we were worried about how our engagement and wedding photographs would turn out, but we both knew how important having great photos was for both of us. From the very first meeting with Mark, we were extremely relieved to learn right away that he made us both feel comfortable and quickly felt like a fit. He made us feel as comfortable as possible and he made our engagement photo experience fun. Fast forward to our wedding day, and in a day filled with pure chaos and anxiety, Mark was a constant sense of calm, making us feel at ease, letting us focus on all the beautiful parts of our day knowing he would capture every special moment. Mark had our confidence and trust the entire way and he did not disappoint. He made sure that the chaos of the day did not disrupt the goals we had for capturing our memories exactly as we had hoped and planned with him in the weeks prior. He was organized, efficient and took the stress away from us. We are so thrilled with how gorgeous our day was captured. Our photos exceed our expectations and bring us to tears. It truly captures the love of the day and our essence perfectly. The only problem now is how we pick between them! We are so thankful for Mark - we highly recommend you pick him to capture all of your special moments!

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

From our initial introductory phone call, I was beyond impressed with Bethany at Elevate. She was so prepared and walked me through things even our wedding coordinator had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I had a couple questions that came up when ordering our album and McCory was quick to respond and unbelievably helpful. Elevate is just simply the best. Stop looking - hire Elevate now!

I'm an inclusive photographer, working hard to tell your honest story through photographs. I welcome people from all walks of life. I don't welcome assholes -- bigots be damned. My Philosophy?

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.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!

Angela was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Her communication was prompt, easy, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was stunning - the photos are light, clean, and captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. We received our photos back in record time and were over the moon with the results. Compared to a majority of the quotes we received, Angela's pricing was fair and her work exceeded our expectations. I HIGHLY recommend her to any couple - I'd hire her again and again and again! Thank you, Angela!

I’m an inclusive intimate wedding and elopement photographer located in Colorado (or anywhere you take me!). I love photographing elopements and my approach to shooting is to bring out the playful energy in my couples and prioritize their connection to one another as well as my connection with them. I travel to ALL 50 states as well as internationally!

From the initial appointment, Lindsay was so warm and friendly - she made the entire process so unbelievably smooth. I never once had to worry or ask for communication - because she was always on top of everything before I had to ask. She was a great resource for us. When it came to the engagement session, ceremony, and reception, Lindsay made us feel so comfortable (we are notoriously awkward in front of a camera & she really made us feel 100% comfortable, which made every event more fun because she could capture our most authentic selves. Any random idea I saw I would ask her about and she was so receptive to it all & catered the entire experience to us (she also gave incredible ideas that fit with our personal style which were some of my favorite shots). Overall - we LOVED working with her & I would not have changed a single thing about her or the process, she did a fabulous job capturing our special days & she acclimated exceptionally to the different styles of each event.

I am a storyteller and a traveler, capturing fleeting moments that define a lifetime. Though based in the U.S., my work takes me across the world, from one city to the next, chasing light, love, and the emotions that make each story unique. My style is cinematic and timeless. I don’t just take photos—I capture the raw, unfiltered moments that make your wedding feel like a beautifully crafted film. The quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the tears of joy—each frame is a memory, preserved forever. — Caz Isaiah

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
