Nicole Ryann Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Sterling, 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!

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!

We are SO thrilled with our experience working with Mark Creery for our October wedding. Mark collaborated closely with the two of us ahead of our wedding day to set the photos up for success, from sending a detailed questionnaire to list our wedding day photo "must haves", to scoping out a few locales near the venue, in-person, before we all met the day of. Mark is kind, thoughtful, and put everyone at ease. Our photos are stunning, ranging from dramatic panoramas to candids capturing tears and laughter throughout the day.

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 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.
