We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Kirst not only captured our wedding day but also documented three additional days of our big fat Indian wedding. She consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Kirst’s communication was clear and prompt—she made sure to understand every detail of our timeline, the moments that mattered most to us, and who we are as a couple, all to perfectly showcase the love and emotion of each moment. During the events, Kirst expertly helped us set up our desired posed shots. With her artistic eye, she guided us to stunning, natural compositions that highlighted our outfits, the environment, and our emotions. Some of our favorite shots ended up being the candid ones she captured. Looking through the photos, it feels as though Kirst perfectly saw the day through our eyes. Not only is Kirst incredibly talented and professional, but she is also sweet and a true joy to have around. Beyond delivering stunning photos, she became a meaningful part of our wedding celebrations, bringing even more joy to our special days.

My name is Amazing and I am a Fine Art Wedding & Elopement Photographer who cares about my clients having the most out of their day. I strive to create a fun, comfortable environment, to showcase your authentic selves. I believe your Engagement & Wedding gallery should be as Unique as your love story. It's all about Enjoying the beginning of a new adventure with your Soulmate! :)

Amazing lives up to her name. If pictures aren't important to you, go with any photographer. If pictures are important to you, go with Amazing. She was so professional, but fun and attentive. I hardly noticed she was there, and she got every shot I could ask for plus more! We were all so at ease around her. It made photo times go smoothly and easily. We had a pretty low photography budget originally, but the photographers in our range were not living up to our vision. We decided to adjust our budget and that's how we found Amazing. And let me tell you, she is worth every penny. Our friends and family love our photos. We are told regularly that our PHOTOS are beautiful (because there are), not just that we looked beautiful/handsome or that it was a lovely day and a lovely wedding. I really notice the variety of compliments we have received on the photos themselves, not just on us. There is also a noticeable difference in the quality of our photos versus some of the other weddings we have been in recently. Our photos have a crispness and everyone looks perfect in every shot. I don't know how she does it. I cannot express enough how happy I am with our photos. They are absolutely sublime. Thank you, a million times over, Amazing!

Just want to brag about our photographer Osmany! Osmany worked with my wife and myself during our wedding photo shoot in Boulder, CO. He had multiple forms for us to fill out which helped him learn more about us and our story. Despite living in a different state, Osmany still had a way of ensuring our day was going to be captured to the fullest by setting up a virtual call to discuss important topics for our big day. Prior to our wedding ceremony, I had LASIK eye surgery and Osmany made sure to accommodate my needs into our photo shoot as I wasn’t allowed to be outdoors without sunglasses. Upon meeting Osmany at the wedding location, he INSTANTLY began helping in ALL aspects he could which helped our ceremony go 2x as smooth. He helped setup the arch, helped put the boutonnieres on our suits, helped with getting everyone in place, and so much more. Osmany had 2 different editing styles for the pictures at which you get to choose how your photos are edited and he returned our pictures fairly quick! We’ve had non stop feedback from friends and family of how he did an outstanding job. I give Osmany more than a 10/10, and you should book with him now! Thank you again Osmany, you’re amazing!

We got married on a cold December morning at Garden of the Gods. Bobak communicated with me via email to keep me informed of what to expect every step of the way. The day of the ceremony, he arrived early to scout out locations for our first look. He had previously hiked to the ceremony site to scout it out also. Despite the cold, Bobak’s enthusiasm made the shoot fun and special. He even sent our wedding photos to us earlier than expected. We cannot say anything but great things about our experience with Bobak and he is very talented! You can tell he loves his profession.

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.

Run, don't walk, to secure Rachel as your wedding or elopement photographer! My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with Rachel's work, and we haven't even received our full wedding gallery yet! She was so great to work with for our engagement shoot, and even better when it came to the wedding day. Rachel is very chill personality-wise, but works efficiently and quick when she is photographing. I think it probably took her 30 minutes max to do our engagement shoot which was great considering it was snowing and freezing out that day! She captured the best most magical photos, especially considering the weather, and we were so excited for the actual wedding after our initial session. She even delivered our full engagement gallery only days after the session, not to mention she was sick and managed to crank them all out in that time frame! The actual wedding day was the same, if not better, experience. Rachel made sure to listen to both mine and my now husband's requests and direction and coordinated the family photos with such ease and professionalism. She really is a photographer, hype woman and sidekick all in one! It never felt awkward shooting with her which was something both me and my husband were worried about since we had never had professional photos taken before. If you are going to work with Rachel, do not worry about being awkward at all! She puts you at ease and makes you feel like you're just hanging out with your person. Rachel sent a bunch of preview photos a few days after the wedding and we are over the moon with them! I wasn't expecting to receive so many, but was definitely pleasantly surprised. We had a fun time sharing the photos with our family and friends and received the BEST feedback - everyone loves them and is so impressed! We seriously can't wait to receive the full gallery and re-live the most amazing day all over again! Thank you for being so talented and just an awesome person Rachel. We will be shouting your name from the rooftops to anyone seeking a wedding photographer in the future!

Authentic, inclusive and FUN. Those are three words that describe my photography style and my ideal couples. I'm a laid back mid-west native, Colorado transplant photographer. I've shot 300+ guest weddings and intimate mountaintop elopements. Big or small, I've photographed and filmed it all and I'd love to join you on your new adventure <3

Seriously the best vendor of our entire wedding. We met her at a LGBTQ networking event and knew right away we wanted her to photograph our wedding. She not only got a lot of great photos of my partner and I but she got pictures of everything I could've possibly wanted. She got photos of the kids dancing at the reception and of my best friend setting up our guest book and of my in-laws meeting my extended family who flew in all the way from India. It was all the stuff I didn't get to see since I was so busy. She is really one of the best candid photographers I've seen and I am so glad we met her and so glad she was able to be part of our wedding.

Every photo is a piece of art, perfectly edited to highlight the natural beauty of the moment. Anyssa was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, from communication to delivering the sneak peeks, which arrived quicker than expected! We are so excited to see the final results. One of the most unique aspects of Anyssa's work is her ability to blend digital and film photography.

Hi there! I'm Ally, a freelance photographer based out of Colorado Springs! I specialize in weddings and lifestyle but offer a variety of sessions. I'd love to work with you and your loved ones and make every moment perfect for you! And just a reminder that your shoot could look like this, or it could be at your home, or reception, or your favorite place. A little about me: I always have a coffee somewhere near by and it’s probably a cold brew with vanilla and cream. You won’t catch me without a half read book or two, and I will be your hype girl for all your photo needs! I can’t wait to work with you!!

Ally was AMAZING. She was so helpful in planning everything. I don't think our elopement could have gone smoother. She even grabbed my husband shoes that we accidentally left in town like two hours away. 10/10. Plus just look at how well these pictures turned out, we will be enjoying them for the rest of our lives.

My name is Laura and I am a Canadian living in Colorado Springs. I have a passion for raw/real documentary style photography. I am a mama to Sunny Rose and I love slow mornings sipping lattes, gardening and travel. Photography has been a love of mine for many years. Growing up I couldn't put down the camera. I started out tinkering with my dads old film and it hooked me ever since. Now, I shoot with digital but always strive to have that film inspired look. I love the beauty of capturing a process- a moment between movements. The collision between love, people and nature is what makes me want to pursue photography.

Laura is absolutely incredible. She has a very creative eye to getting the most unique photos that reflect the personality of who she’s photographing! Not only is her photography style very natural, but also very intentional in the way she uses light and shapes surrounding us as the subjects. Laura is super easy going and made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our session.... that really reflected in the photos we received! I would highly recommend Laura to anyone I know who needs an engagement or wedding photographer.

Hello, I'm Mikayla. I'm a mama, a hiker chick, an outdoor enthusiast, a photographer. I'm really laid back, my "dog voice" is mildly annoying, and I just like to have a good time. When my daughter was born, I learned that time is a thief. Photographs help me remember. Prior to her, I had a camera to take photos of my dogs in the beautiful places we hiked. My tiny gal inspired me and gave me a huge appreciation for my camera and my ability to document love in pretty places. When I'm not photographing your elopement or intimate wedding, I'm making my own memories with the loves of my life.

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

We are so happy we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Gabriella the planning specialist, was SO helpful with our wedding day timeline and communicated everything promptly and informatively. The client portal is also very helpful for planning the timeline, updating info/details, asking questions, and viewing our finished photos. Our photographer, Mike, was a blast to work with and we highly recommend him for those in the Chicago area. He was assigned to us about 2 weeks before the big day (due to a conflict with the photographer we were originally assigned) and he made sure to reach out to me right away so he could get to know us and get caught up on our timeline and details. His fun, goofy personality kept us at ease throughout the day, he did a great job wrangling the bridal party, and helping with poses so we felt comfortable having our photos taken all day. He was also super efficient with our group photos and sunset photos- we actually had time to sit down and eat dinner! We are in love with our wedding photos and 100% recommend Sound Originals (and MIKE)!
