Goldilocks didn’t stop until she found something juuuuust right for her. And we want you to do the same.
(HINT: IT’S US. WE’RE JUST RIGHT.)
We’re small but mighty. Not so big that you’ll ever be just another number, but we have a staff of people to make sure there is always someone available to respond to your emails and lend local expertise. We have hundreds of poses and prompts in our back pockets, but we’ll never let that overtake your natural movements and interactions. And we’re artists, able to create stunning images in any setting. But we aren’t so attached to our photos that we won’t take your style into account.
See? Just right.
we have the means to make it happen.
The hardest thing about being a solo photographer is wearing all the hats: the marketing guru, the admin assistant, the wedding planner, the artist, and the editor.
The best part of working with our team? We have different people in each of those roles. That means you get to have it all without compromising your experience. We match you with the perfect photographer for your day based on personality and posing preferences and your photos are hand-edited and delivered in the style you love the most! And you’ll have a whole team of local experts helping you plan the whole thing along the way.
The Process
1
Like everything we do, this is about you. We don’t care if you have a date or location picked, we can put you on our radar. We can help you find the perfect place to say “I do” or make the one you already chose officially yours. All you have to do to make it official with us is put down a small retainer to hire our team. (Location scouting for elopements is included in our pricing!)
2
We want to know it all: your favorite color to the way you two met. It’s so important for us to get to know you so we can document who you are in the most genuine way possible. After booking, we send a questionnaire to get to know you on a more personal level. You’ve found your perfect match in a life partner, let us pair you with your perfect match in a photographer too.

After we pair you with a talented photographer from our team, we would love to introduce you to some of our other favorite vendors. From venues to hairstylists to boutique hotels to the best damn wedding cake you’ve ever eaten … we have a recommendation. Humbly, we know a guy (or gal) for anything you could need. We love working with other vendors to help make your wedding or elopement daydream team that much better!
4
Part of our process includes choosing the style of both the photography AND the editing of your images. (You won’t find this option anywhere else in Colorado!) Since all of your images are hand-edited, we’re happy to provide a variety of editing styles based on your preferences: light and airy, bold and true to life, dark and moody. We always include black and white edits of our favorite photos with the color copy included as well.
Even though our entire team is local to Colorado, 80% of our elopement couples and 50% of our wedding couples are not. We know that a lot of wedding vendors in the mountains book up quickly or it may be harder to find a great fit with less options available. If you’re getting married in a mountain town we’re happy to pick up your dessert or flowers from a vendor near us and save you delivery fees and save you from having to make the drive yourself.

We do have a flat fee retainer of $1000 to secure our team and your spot on the calendar for weddings and a $500 flat fee retainer to secure our team for elopements.
Yes! The beauty of working with a team is we will always have someone available on the date that you choose.
Do you see someone’s work who you love on our Instagram (link) portfolio? We’re always happy to pair you with a photographer of your choice if you already have the best fit in mind. (subject to availability)
To make things easy for everyone, all of our pre-wedding/elopement meetings happen virtually over Zoom, Facetime, Google Meet or the phone. We’re happy to set up a pre-booking meeting and/or a meeting with the photographer you’re paired with before your day arrives!
You’ll receive 50-100 edited images per hour of coverage booked if you have one photographer and 100-150 edited images per hour of coverage booked when you have a second photographer. Elopement galleries take 4-6 weeks to deliver, wedding galleries take 6-8 weeks to deliver.
Colorado photographer squad has a team of dedicated editors so that can edit in the style you love the most! We have 3 go-to editing styles, but we’re happy to adjust the editing style based on your personal preferences.
Your photos are delivered in an online gallery where you’ll have access to download, share and print your photos. Don’t worry - you aren’t required to order prints through us! (though we might cry a little bit if you have them printed at a Walgreens)
Our team is happy to travel within Colorado! We’re experts on this state, the permits required to photograph here and all carry insurance to do so. If you’re getting married outside of Colorado we’re always happy to shout out other photographers in the industry that would be a better fit!
Every photographer that works with our team carries insurance as well as the necessary photography permits for Boulder OSMP, Jefferson County, and Rocky Mountain National Park. We will always check to see if your elopement location requires an additional permit and are happy to list specific venues on our insurance policy as “additionally insured” at their request.
We love seeing what inspires you and a Pinterest board is a great way for us to get a good understanding of the lighting, editing and posing style that appeals to you the most. While we don’t promise that we can replicate exact poses or images from your Pinterest, we’re happy to keep your preferences in mind when photographing you.
If you don’t believe love is love, then you’re in the wrong place, friend. We are LGBTQIA+ affirming and we believe that Black Lives Matter and all are welcome here. Love knows no bounds and we will never discriminate based on gender, ability, sexual orientation, or beliefs. (We might not get along if you don’t like Chipotle, but it’s not a dealbreaker ok?)
