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

Ozan Ulucan Photography was fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the start, their communication was efficient, friendly and timely - they were a breeze to coordinate with leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, they brought in a second photographer which allowed them to capture so many special moments that we'll treasure forever. The quality of their work was excellent, and the value was great considering how quickly we received our beautiful photos after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with Ozan Ulucan Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Welcome to "We Do Weddings," where love meets artistry, and moments are forever preserved. We're Jared and Quinn, not just business partners, but a couple who share a deep passion for capturing the most cherished memories of your special day. Our journey into the world of wedding photography and videography began as a shared dream—a dream that brought together our love for storytelling, our appreciation for timeless elegance, and our fascination with the candid, unscripted moments that make every love story unique.

We had our engagement photos taken by We Do Weddings and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't set on a good location, but Jared and Quinn had a couple of suggestions and Freestone Park turned out perfect. They also arrived early and had a couple spots in mind to shoot at, which I really appreciated since it was a warm day and that expedited the process. The shoot was casual and surprisingly fun. They worked quickly but we never felt rushed. They gave great direction (including some pictures of what they were looking for at times) which turned out great. We just got the photos back and my wife and I were blown away. They turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. The entire experience was a joy and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for.

From The Hip Photo

  • Serves Sanford, CO

After meeting in NYC, Nina & Danny earned their fine art degrees and moved to Denver. In 2009, they combined their passion for photography, and From the Hip Photo was born. Its name is a nod to the style of our images: candid, spontaneous, fresh, playful, and vibrant. Since then, the From the Hip Photo family has grown into the most accomplished crew of visual professionals in Colorado. Julia and Danielle are our dynamic duo of gifted Lead Photographers, bringing energy and artistry to every session we photograph. Lauren, who rose through our internship program to become our Studio Manager, brings a creative mind to our daily operations.

From the Hip Photo is exceptional, friendly and will capture some of your most cherished memories. I recently used FTH for my wedding and they did a fantastic job, not only were the photos delivered to me in a timely manner, but they also snapped heartfelt candids and portraits that I'll keep forever. Their team is quick, efficient and will help achieve your vision (truly they were referencing my shotlist/inspo pics the whole day!) I cannot thank them -- including Lauren and Amber -- enough for their standout work. 10/10 would recommend!

I'm Nicole, an intimate wedding, destination, and elopement photographer passionate about capturing your story, personality, and vision. I hate productions and going through the motions. I invest in you and capture your day true to you!

Working alongside Nicole is always a total joy. She is collaborative, kind, encouraging, creative and personable. She feels like a friend who just picked up a camera and started documenting the day for you. She isn't all about "her shots" or the industry trends, she is first and foremost an advocate for meaningful, memorable celebrations, and is deeply in tune with the vision of her couples. She has an eye for detail and each photo is equally candid in emotion and composed like art. Her knowledge and expertise far exceeds many other photographers in the industry and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking to elope or host an intimate wedding that feels completely true to them.

I love the beauty of nature, people, natural light, and raw emotion. Which is one of the things I am most proud of about the work I produce. I strive to capture the beauty of these things in my work each and every day. I started photography when I was in high school, and was instantly connected to the feeling of capturing memories that last forever. I have always been a creative mind, so finding a passion that makes me feel exactly where I am supposed to be is so rewarding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel is such a wonderful photographer and amazing person to work with. We combed through soooo many photographers to find someone whose photos were both well-shot and well-edited, and we could not be happier with our choice. She went above and beyond to take beautiful engagement photos of us in the cold, and then did an absolutely phenomenal job with photos at our wedding -- even finding a super close location nearby to get amazing photos of the two of us. She was fun and comfortable to work with, we love our photos even more than I thought could be possible, and I have no doubt she'll continue to do amazing work!

Intimacy and adventure is what I am all about. I absolutely love couples who are fun, who are real and let it fly. I want to see you! You probably don’t mind if your dress gets dirty. You may be down for a short hike and are not afraid of getting in the water at the end of your elopement. You don’t mind if things don’t go perfectly and that is just perfect. You are my people. THE BEST PARTS OF LIFE ARE THE PARTS THAT SURPRISE US. AND THE BEST PHOTOS ARE USUALLY THE ONES WE DIDN’T KNOW WERE COMING.

I have worked with Liz many years now and her photography services + personality are unmatched. It is so nice to work with a fellow local to the valley who truly knows where to take couples to capture the beauty Vail has to offer. Highly recommended for any and all photography needs!
