Matt even had a list of the top requested songs from their previous weddings, along with tailored lists for the ceremony and first dances, which was incredibly helpful. The best part? The dance floor was never empty! They kept everyone dancing throughout the night, creating an incredible atmosphere.

Moon Myerson Photography

Fort Collins, CO
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,250

Hi, I’m Moon—a Colorado wedding photographer with a love for real connection, big scenery, and all the beautifully unscripted moments that make a wedding day so meaningful. I take a documentary-style approach, quietly capturing the day as it naturally unfolds—so your gallery feels like your memories, not a photo shoot. Based in Northern Colorado, I photograph weddings of all sizes across the state (and beyond) and specialize in scenic celebrations.

We cannot recommend Moon Myerson Photography enough! From our very first conversation, Moon made us feel completely at ease. He was warm, professional, and genuinely interested in who we are—not just as clients, but as people. On our wedding day, he blended into the background when needed, but was also right there to gently guide us when we needed direction (which was often—posing is not our thing!). His eye for candid moments is incredible—some of our favorite photos are the little in-between moments we didn’t even know he was capturing. And the landscapes! Moon has this amazing ability to make the scenery part of the story without it feeling staged. He made us look and feel like our best selves, and somehow also made the day look exactly like it felt to live it. The gallery blew us away. Every photo was beautifully edited and thoughtfully composed. We’ve looked through it at least a hundred times and still tear up. It’s exactly what we were hoping for—real, beautiful, and meaningful. Thank you, Moon, for capturing our day so honestly and artfully. You gave us a gift we’ll treasure for a lifetime. -Justine & Hunter

Hi, I'm Hillary! When I’m not photographing your most important moments, I’m hiking in the morning light with my family, creating videos for conservation based non-profits, reading the latest book in Reese Witherspoon’s book club, and eating oreos–cookies are my weakness! My favorite stories to tell are always LOVE stories. My photography style is to focus on precious candid moments that naturally occur between people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to reach for your wedding album and have all of the memories come flooding back—the bliss, sentiment, light, and laughter from the day you began your greatest adventure yet.

Awarded Best of Zola
When setting out to find vendors and plan, I didn’t understand the importance of finding a photographer you love. We lucked out with finding Hillary and Taylor! They both share our sense of adventure and supported our inability to hardly ever take things seriously. We wanted to incorporate our love of scuba into our engagement pics, and they made it happen. Most importantly to me, I had grown up going to Fun City in Estes Park and I wanted to get wedding shots of us going down the big slides. Without hesitation, Hillary MADE IT HAPPEN! Both of them made us laugh and feel at-ease during engagement pics and on our day. They’re professional and incredibly supportive, especially when it came to corralling and directing family during pictures. It’s obvious that Hillary and Taylor love what they do, and that they love each other! Oh and obviously the photos are AMAZING!! We have our sneak peek and I can’t wait for the whole gallery!

I cannot recommend Niamh Zwagerman, Owner and Lead Planner of Sweetie Pie Weddings, highly enough! From the moment we connected with her, we knew we had found someone truly special. Initially, we only needed help structuring the wedding processional, as we had already found most of our vendors on our own. However, Niamh went far beyond our expectations. Her attention to detail and proactive approach were incredible. She reached out to all our vendors, ensuring that every element of our day was perfectly coordinated. Niamh addressed questions we hadn't even thought to ask, and everything was timed flawlessly. When we encountered an unexpected issue with the bridal changing area at the church just the night before our wedding, Niamh worked her magic and transformed the space into a stunning bridal suite. Thanks to her, my bride felt like a queen on her special day. Niamh truly made our wedding complete and perfect. Her dedication, creativity, and kindness shone through every step of the way.

As your photographer, I prioritize truly getting to know you as a couple, offering guidance and support throughout your wedding day. My goal is to capture those intimate, fleeting moments—the ones you might forget in the whirlwind, like your grandmother’s tears as you walk down the aisle or your best friend’s belly laugh after the best man’s speech. Together, we create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that lets your genuine emotions and connections shine through. I don't just freeze moments; I capture the essence of your emotions. With careful attention to detail, I weave these real moments into a visual story that goes beyond the ordinary.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emilie is the sweetest soul ever. I was a very indesicive person when it came to outfits for engagement pictures and she was so helpful in deciding what would photograph best. She feels like a friend and hype woman and not a photographer. She helped us pose perfectly and it was more of a fun time. We chit chatted and talked about my fiancés and I’s relationship prior to the session so she knew everything she needed too and more. I want to get margs and chips and queso with her. She is seriously the most loving person who wants to make sure that your photos are how you want them and that they look gorgeous. I will be doing all my couple photography with her going forward and I can’t wait to support her more. Emilie is the best. Book with her and you will NOT regret it!!

I don't even know where to begin! I knew Simone was our number one choice from the first time I looked at his website. His photos are beautiful, adventurous, and somehow classic AND edgy. Simone was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry and we were able to meet up in person that same week and for us there was no looking back. Our experience with Simone was nothing short of perfect and we truly felt like we not only had a great photographer but a great friend, throughout the whole process.

Hi my name is Jaclyn and I give infinite cares. I want to give you more than beautiful photos. Sure, I love those images of my couples laughing so hard together in that beautiful golden lighting!! I love when you can see how locked in they are on each other in the moment. You can see how comfortable they feel. They practically forgot I was there for a second or two. It’s unreal and it gets to me every time. But I want to give you so much more. It’s my job to hustle relentlessly after the moments of your day, and to do that so joyfully!!

As a wedding planner, you work so closely with the photographer. We had an amazing experience with Jaclyn! She was so much fun, had a great attitude, and a joy to work with! Also, her pictures were beautiful.

I love food & adventure and most importantly I love Jesus and people and I can’t wait to capture the best parts of this world – your love and the space around it.

From the moment we first connected with Kind Honey Photography, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographers. Their communication style was clear and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was absolutely amazing - Kim went above and beyond to capture all the special moments of our day.

Hey I'm Maddie Mae and I'm a Colorado and destination elopement photographer, experience designer, and planning consultant for couples who want an unforgettable, deeply meaningful, and extraordinarily personal wedding experience. When you hire me—you get so much more than just a photographer. With experience traveling in 41 countries (all 7 continents) and 8 years of co-creating over 400 incredible elopements with couples all over the world... I partner with you to help you dream up & bring to life the most incredible adventure you two have ever had.

Our elopement day was absolutely beautiful, stress-free, and adventure-filled all thanks to Maddie Mae and her talented team at Adventure Instead! We decided on an elopement before the pandemic because we really wanted a day that reflected our values, and this company delivered on those values and our hopes tenfold. We highly recommend Adventure Instead! Not only are we absolutely thrilled with the final product of our photos, but Adventure Instead really helped us long before our actual elopement day. They assisted us in homing in on what our perfect location would be (since we were coming into Colorado from out of state). Their knowledge of locations, hikes, and alpine lakes was incredibly helpful, and of course made the planning easier. Before our big day, we video chatted with Maddie Mae so she could show us how the sun would look at specific times in our exact location, helping us pick our ceremony time and plan our hike. She even shared the links to the same pack raft and paddle she had so that all three of us could get to an island for the ceremony. On the day of our elopement, we met up with Maddie Mae and we both felt very comfortable with her as we hiked up to our location. Her willingness to paddle all of her photography equipment to an island to allow us to have an incredibly unique and intimate ceremony was really amazing and we so greatly appreciated it. Although she was on the island with us while we exchanged our vows, she was able to keep some distance to allow us to have that moment, just the two of us. And she was still able to capture each and every beautiful moment! We paddled back to the shore and had a lovely little picnic and read letters from our families, all while Maddie Mae took the most gorgeous photos. Even for our portraits, she instructed us to pretend she wasn't there, and in so many ways, the photographs capture the small glances, intimate reaches, and happy, knowing smiles as if it really was just the two of us there all evening long. The photos speak for themselves, but this team is also incredibly professional and responsive to questions. If you have had your heart set on a romantic getaway in the beautiful outdoors, trust Adventure Instead with your elopement or intimate wedding - you will not be disappointed!

I’m a husband, dog dad, fisher, hiker and lover of life. Currently based in Colorado and pursuing the dream of photographing weddings on digital & analog. I was raised overseas with a life full of travel, always drawn to carrying a camera and documenting all of life’s fleeting moments. My general approach to photography is intentional, candid and laid back. You can find me listening to Jazz (Art Pepper, John Coltrane) while working on my 99 Land Cruiser. I cherish the good things in life, like porch hangs with my wife and pup. Time with family and good conversations with those that I love.

Sam is an incredibly talented photographer that I've had the pleasure of working alongside for years. His professionalism and communication has always been prompt and clear in addition to him being a very easy and pleasant person to work with. I'd highly suggest his services to anyone looking for a Colorado Wedding Photographer - especially one that shoots film. Many will say that they shoot film when they really just shoot a few rolls on a point and shoot - Sam however is very skilled and passionate about the film he shoots. I'd highly suggest checking out his film add-on.

I have been baking since I was a little girl in my Grandmother’s kitchen and love it as much today as I did then. I have over 15 years of professional chef experience, with an emphasis in pastry. Along with using quality, fresh ingredients for the very best flavor, I also pay strict attention to design and enjoy the artistic side of cake design. I will make sure that every detail of your cake design is executed to your specifications and that you are 100% happy

From the moment we first reached out to Buttermilk Bakery, Cherish was incredibly friendly, informative and helpful in walking us through all of our options for our wedding cake and desserts. Her communication was top-notch, and she made the entire process seamless. On the day of the wedding, the cake and desserts she provided were absolutely amazing - delicious, beautifully presented, and a huge hit with all of our guests. We were blown away by the quality and taste, and honestly wish we had ordered even more! Buttermilk Bakery truly helped make our special day that much sweeter.

When we aren’t working you can usually find us hanging out around Fort Collins. We love breweries, eateries, and all things local. Most of the time you can find us hanging out on a lawn sipping a fruit beer with our husbands and all our crazy boys. Our families, after all, are our “Wild Bliss”. We think it’s okay to embrace all the craziness that life has to bring, that’s how the blissful memories are made! Family is our why. It’s why we wanted to become photographers and capture this beautiful life for ourselves and for our clients.

We hired Wild Bliss for both our engagement and wedding photos and I am so in love with how they turned out. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera, but Candice and Jessica made it such a relaxing, fun experience that you can't even tell! They were responsive, friendly, and super flexible when we had to reschedule our wedding due to covid. I highly recommend Wild Bliss!
