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

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

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.

We hadn’t had a lot of experience with professional photo shoots, but Makaila gave us very clear directions and made us feel comfortable with the poses she put us in, which resulted in photos that were better than we could have imagined. We absolutely recommend Makaila to anyone who is looking to get some amazing photos taken!

I am a Colorado raised-and-based photographer, serving couples in Boulder County, Denver Metro and beyond. Nothing gets my heart pumping like documenting memories. I live for freezing all the firsts. The first look. First kiss. First dance. But more importantly, I want to capture how you felt. I don’t want to just take nice photos. I want to build you a time capsule, so when you look back at your wedding photos years down the line you can remember every laugh, tear and kiss.

Ali could not have been any more perfect! She really played an integral part in pulling together our special day and she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Her expertise in herding my family was greatly appreciated and we cannot recommend her enough! We never realized how incredibly important an experienced photographer would be in keeping our wedding running on schedule, but she was easily just as important as our onsite coordinator! Our wedding would not have been the same without her :)

Greetings, I'm Kristina Rusch, or "Krush," your Colorado wedding photographer and the creative mind behind Krush Photography. Specializing in weddings, family portraits, and intimate boudoir sessions, I embarked on my photographic journey in 2013 by capturing music and concerts. My love and skill for photography grew into weddings and portraits. My photography style is a fusion of true-to-life colors, capturing authentic moments without relying on excessive posing or fleeting trends. I'm also drawn to the artistry of low-light portraiture, creating uniquely styled images.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding decisions can be very difficult and stressful and choosing a photographer is definitely no exception! However, after speaking with Kristina for the first time, the decision became clear to us. Kristina is super easy to get along with, helpful, flexible, and professional. We didn’t have a wedding planner or coordinator, so needless to say, we were a little lost especially with important details such as day of timelines. In came Kristina to the rescue! Probably not necessarily her job, however she was so helpful with this much needed planning aspect and really helped us figure out what, where, and when things were happening and helped keep everything flowing nicely and on schedule day of. The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! She was able to capture so many special moments, and it was almost like she wasn’t there at all while she was doing it. Taking pictures is not my favorite thing, however Kristina made it comfortable and easy! We were able to be ourselves while taking pictures, but also got some suggestions on cute shots and poses, which made it fun! Kristina was able to beautifully capture so many special moments throughout our day, we can’t wait to relive it all through our wedding album for many years to come. Don’t hesitate to go with Krush photography for your wedding day, you won’t regret it!

We had an older crowd at the wedding and she was great with all of them. My husband and I were nervous about being photographed but she's so kind and fun it felt very natural.

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.

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!
