Stephanie Eddy Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

You're my kind of couple if you want photos that capture the emotion, joy, meaning of your day. My approach is simple: help you feel comfortable so you can actually be present with each other. Most couples say they feel awkward in photos, and that’s completely normal. I guide you with easy prompts and natural direction, so you’re never left wondering what to do, but nothing feels stiff or forced. Because posing isn’t about perfect positions, it’s about interaction. The laughter, the way you naturally connect. That’s where the real emotion lives.

“Stephanie is great to work with whether you have a clear and specific vision or whether you have no clue where to start. She captures the emotions of the moments just as well as the moments themselves. She is unobtrusive in her candid shots during the ceremony and reception and will make sure you get thr photos you want, as well. Her photos are gorgeous, and she provides a huge array of images to choose from.”

Nationally recognized rock & roll photographer makes you the rock star on your wedding day! Combining the latest in film like color and modern art photography, with the classic simplicity of black and white photo-journalism. Lisa leaves no detail uncovered.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa at DogDaze Photography. She is one of those people who is just a natural behind the camera. Her photos are soft, beautiful, and elegant, but what I love most is how much emotion she captures in every image. Her photos don’t just document a moment — they really make you feel it. She is also an absolute dream to work with. Lisa is incredibly professional, so easy to communicate with, and consistently goes above and beyond. Her turnaround time is truly remarkable — she has gotten photos back to us in less than 72 hours, which is amazing! I also think her pricing is incredibly fair for the quality and level of experience she brings. She has such a wide range of photography experience, and it really shows in her work. I genuinely love working with Lisa and feel so lucky to have found her. She is talented, reliable, kind, and just one of those people you know you can count on. If you’re looking for a photographer, stop looking and hire Lisa. You’ll be so happy you did! :)”

  • Serves Lafayette, CO

I’m Kristina, the photographer behind Krush Photography, based in Longmont, Colorado. I photograph weddings with a documentary eye and an editorial approach to portraits, paying attention to what’s unfolding while offering direction when you need it. I’m drawn to the interactions that make a day feel like yours: your friends making you laugh, your parents watching from across the room, the quiet minute you get together before heading back to the party. My goal is for your photographs to bring you back to how it felt to be there.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Krush Photography was our absolute saving grace on our wedding day. Every bride’s worst nightmare came true for us when our hired photographer arrived solo—no second shooter—leaving us in a panic knowing our day truly required two photographers. In the middle of getting her hair done, Kristina saw a random Facebook post desperately calling for a photographer to jump in and help. Without hesitation, she responded, sprang into action, and came straight to our wedding—already behind schedule—ready to step in and save the day. And save the day she did. If it weren’t for her, we would not have half of the beautiful memories captured in our wedding gallery. Kristina was kind, supportive, understanding, and exactly the calm we needed amidst the storm created by our hired photographer. We cannot thank her enough for stepping in for us, even though we were not her clients to begin with. She knew our ceremony location like the back of her hand, which was an incredible relief since we were getting married out of state. While our original photographer claimed she would handle the research, she was completely unprepared—but Kristina’s familiarity with the area, including the best back roads and lighting spots, was invaluable. She truly saved the day. From her professionalism to her warmth, Krush Photography went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. If you are even thinking about hiring a photographer, look no further—Kristina is the one you need. She is more than a photographer; she’s a hero, a lifesaver, and an absolute joy to work with. During unforeseen and stressful circumstances, she didn’t just step up—she went above and beyond, capturing every moment beautifully. There’s truly no one else who could do what she did for us. Hire her. You won’t regret it.”

Charlotte Croy is a Colorado and Rhode Island based wedding photographer specializing in timeless, light filled imagery with a documentary edge. Her work balances natural emotion with intentional composition, creating photographs that feel elevated yet authentic. From the Rocky Mountains to the New England coast, her approach remains the same: relaxed, thoughtful, and centered on the couple.

“Working with Charlotte for our engagement shoot was such an amazing experience. From the moment we booked, she made everything feel organized and stress free. She helped us choose a location that felt meaningful to us and gave great guidance on outfits without making it overwhelming. During the session, she created such a relaxed atmosphere. We never felt stiff or overly posed. She guided us when we needed it but also gave us space to just be ourselves, which made the photos feel authentic and full of personality. When we received our gallery, we were honestly speechless. The images felt warm, romantic, and true to us. She captured the big smiles and the quiet, intimate moments in between. We are even more excited for our wedding knowing we have Charlotte behind the camera.”

With 6+ years of being in the wedding industry, I believe the best images are the ones that you can truly connect with; Where you can FEEL the affection, the tenderness, and you get those joyful, tingly feelings when you look back at those moments. I take a candid, documentary, and true-to-color approach to photography. I bring my creative eye, positive attitude, and caring personality to every experience you'll have with me from this moment to the day you receive your final images. You deserve to have a wedding gallery you’re obsessed with AND an incredible experience from start to finish.

“Emily is the kind of photographer who becomes part of your story, not just someone hired to document it. She spent not one but two birthdays with us. Her birthday happens to fall on our wedding day, and a year before we actually got married, we booked our engagement session with her on that same date. From that very first session, Emily and her team made us feel completely at ease. They were warm, fun to be around, and genuinely great at what they do. The sneak peeks we have seen so far have been absolutely stunning. Emily's communication throughout the entire process was responsive and professional, and her eye for capturing moments, both posed and candid, gave us complete confidence going into the wedding day. But the moment that will stick with me forever? During our final venue walkthrough about a month before the wedding, Emily overheard me ask my wedding planner to keep sour candy on hand in case my anxiety flared up on the day. She never made a big deal of it in the moment. But on our wedding day, she told me that she and her entire team would all be carrying candy for me, just in case. Every single one of them had remembered. That is not something you can train someone to do. That is just who Emily is. If you want a photographer who will make you feel seen, taken care of, and completely yourself in front of the camera, book Emily. You will not regret it.”

The Castners went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable in front of the camera while also getting amazing shots. They worked so well with our friends and family and made sure not a single moment was missed. We are so glad we hired Nate and Anna and are hoping the opportunity to work with them again presents itself soon!”

Abby Shepard Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I specialize in capturing real moments with bright, bold, natural images. My goal is to help make your wedding day the best it can be and ensure that you have a meaningful, memorable, FUN wedding day to start a lifelong adventure. Being a wedding photographer is the best job ever, but when I'm not working, you can usually find me outside doing something like hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling, or taking landscape photos.

“Abby was absolutely phenomenal and we have only great things to say about her. We love her bright and sunny editing style, and on top of that she is friendly and professional- all highlights of working with her. She communicated well and she's clearly very committed to helping make your wedding day go smoothly- she even shares a worksheet that has several sample wedding day timelines, and a guide to planning the day of the wedding (these were lifesavers). There is enough to worry about with the entire process of planning a wedding and it was so nice to not have to worry at all about anything photography related because Abby was so on top of things. On wedding day itself, Abby seamlessly joined the party and as a result, got so many great shots of our ceremony, and candids of our family and friends that really capture the joy and love that we felt on our wedding day. I keep getting SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding pictures came out, and how you can truly feel the fun through those pictures. We cannot emphasize enough how much we love Abby!! We whole heartedly recommend her.”

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Lafayette, CO

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 met Julie of June Moon Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Her relaxed and fun-loving personality immediately put us at ease, and we felt confident she would capture the essence of our special day. True to our instincts, the photos she delivered were absolutely stunning - beautifully emotive, candid, and timeless. Julie was a joy to work with, expertly directing the group to ensure we got all the shots we wanted before the gorgeous sunset faded. The finished product was nothing short of spectacular, and we are overjoyed to have such cherished memories to look back on. We highly recommend June Moon Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”
