Awarded Best of Zola
Words do not do justice to our experience with Lisa. How do you describe working with a true professional who handled every single aspect of our wedding photography flawlessly. Whether it was pictures of us, our families or our friends, she far exceeded our expectations. The biggest compliment we could give her is when we were looking through our wedding album, we said over and over again. 'do you remember her being there for that' and 'how did she get that picture' and 'she captured us (or this moment) perfectly'! We highly encourage everyone to work Lisa to capture your most important life events. She is truly a 'next level' photographer!

I believe that wedding photography should be about you. This is your love, your story and your adventure. Here's what I believe you deserve: A. A photographer who listens to your whole story, and gets as invested in it as you want (but not like in a weird way) B. For you to be able leave stress at the door. 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.

Hi there! The name’s Ali. But I also go by: you’re cheerleader, hopeless romantic, and your bestie throughout the wedding process. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are blown away by our photos! Ali is so amazing to work with we got everything we wanted on our special day! She always made sure to check in with us and especially me the bride and I appreciated that because wedding days can be so crazy! The meeting we had with her really helped her figure us out as a couple and what we were comfortable with. She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her. We wanted some different styles for our wedding shoot so we asked for different lens such as the kaleidoscope effect and others and those are our favorite ones! Thank you soo much Ali you’re the best!! Book her like yesterday!

I'm a photographer with more than 20 years of professional experience photographing the nuptials of couples all over Colorado. I used to shoot all types of weddings, big and small, but have lately been focusing on elopements and micro weddings as I love the intimacy that these sorts of events engender. I am available for a limited number of micro weddings and elopements each year.

From the moment we first spoke with Julie, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer for us. Julie has a wonderfully calm, humorous, and easygoing communication style that instantly put us at ease and calmed our nerves on the big day. Her work is extraordinary with a natural documentary style that captured all the small moments and emotions as well as all of the key events from our wedding. The finished product brought tears to our eyes - Julie has such an incredible eye for detail and is a true talent at telling a story through her photographs. Julie also has such a remarkable bedside manner and mixes so well with everyone. Her presence was both soothing and fun, and she was even able to calm down my mother who was a bit of a wreck emotionally that day. With Julie, you're hiring not just an exceptional photographic talent but also an amazing person who will only add to and increase the joy and beauty of your big day. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

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.

Jonathan is an exceptional photographer and excellent with communication. I knew right away I wanted photos that captured the "real life" moment and the essence of our zoom (online) wedding day, in addition to a few traditional posed photos and scenic ones. People who see the photos say, "I feel like I'm there just by seeing these!" After the ceremony, we took beautiful photos at Chautauqua Park. Jonathan is professional, kind, easy going, adaptable, affordable, and we received hundreds of photos in high-resolution and web-resolution. You can work with him in advance (planning, pose preferences, location) as little or as much as you want.

You should definitely hire them for any of the above photo shoots,

For me, photography was a happy accident: I stumbled into it 15 years ago when I worked as the art director of SKI Magazine, and budget cuts dictated we take on more work in-house. Something about it flipped a switch for me, and I eventually started to think more about photography than I did about design. I practiced all the time, taking photos of my family at home, and then of friends' families too. I found so much beauty in capturing moments—an open-mouthed laugh, a playful handhold, a knowing look between a husband and wife—that otherwise would be lost amidst the chaos of life.

Be Boulder never ceases to amaze me with how natural and comfortable her shoots/sessions are. She really makes the client feel their best and truly captures the images they will love for years to come! The photos are effortlessly candid and portray the meaningful moments of the day.

I'm a white water raft guide, a rock climber, a dog-mom, and converted my CR-V to have a bed in the back for all of the road-tripping inherent with being an adventure photographer.

I'm a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding.

If you're thinking of booking Becky for your big day, do it! You won't be disappointed. We had Becky photograph our intimate wedding at the Mountain View Grand in December 2022 and we couldn't have been happier with the experience and the photos! Becky was amazing to work with from helping me get in my dress, to braving the cold and snow to get all the outdoor shots I really wanted! She was quick to respond throughout the entire process, and really took the time to get to know us. She made us feel comfortable through all the pictures. We've had pictures taken in the past where it felt awkward and uncomfortable and this was the complete opposite. We had so much fun taking pictures, and at the end of the night I couldn't stop talking about how much I loved working with her! I had several guests comment about how impressed they were with her too. The quality of the photos are amazing, and I was shocked with the quick turn around time. We had a sneak peak with a handful of photos within 48 hours! The photos are just beautiful, and we can't thank her enough for helping make our day so special and giving us beautiful photos to remember it by for years to come.

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!

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!
