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! :)”

  • Photojournalistic style

  • 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.”

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.

From the very beginning, she was communicative, helpful, and made me feel so excited and confident about the entire process. On the wedding day, she blended in seamlessly while still guiding us with posing when we needed it. She made everything feel easy and natural, which meant so much to me. We received our photos much sooner than expected, and I was absolutely in love with them. They were exactly what I had hoped for and captured the day so beautifully. I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable 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
“The top 3 parts of our wedding weekend: 1) getting married 2) seeing our friends and family 3) Alex We had multiple family members and friends ask us if Alex was just one of our friends because he not only got all of the incredible photos he did and knew when to blend in, he also was friendly and kind to all of our bridal party, family, and guests, and excited to give us the best day possible. We had been recommended Alex by our engagement photographer and had never met him in person until wedding day but he fit right into the fold and knew exactly who we were and what we wanted. We had almost zero suggestions for photos, we already knew we trusted Alex from having spoken a few times prior to the wedding and seen his other photos and just let him tell us (of course enthusiastically because this is how Alex operates) where to go and how to get the best photos. Unlike other photographers, he also stayed with us as long as we needed instead of giving us a specific hour time limit which was incredibly helpful given you never know how your wedding day will go. He’s not only fantastic at his job, but also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. My husband broke his collarbone in the weeks leading up to our wedding and once Alex heard he sent us a gift card for food delivery because he knew how difficult those weeks were. We are so happy that we chose him to be our wedding photographer and you will have zero regrets if you do the same. Alex is the best!”

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.”

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.

“We are so thrilled with Abby’s work-where to even begin? We wanted a photographer who would capture and honor the beauty of the place and people at our wedding and Abby did just. Our photos are stunning-naturally lit, bright, colorful, and perfectly capturing the love, fun, joy, ritual, setting, and emotion of the day. We cried happy tears looking through them and reliving the whole day. The candid photos are so joyful and the posed photos look lively and warm-there’s nothing stiff about them. Abby herself is incredibly capable-I didn’t realize until the day how many moving pieces/people there are to keep track of and respond to. Abby did it all with positivity, humor, and kindness. She organized individuals, couples, and groups quickly and efficiently. She never seemed frazzled or overwhelmed (even in the middle of the hora!). And she was inconspicuous and discreet during the ceremony-I forgot she was there but she captured the most beautiful moments! We have heard time and again from our friends and family that the photos really capture us and our guests-we’re so grateful, Abby! Thank you!”

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.”
