Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about finding someone who takes great photos—it’s about finding someone you trust to capture the real, unfiltered moments without turning your day into a production. With 11 years of experience, we know how to blend into the rhythm of your wedding, letting things unfold naturally while staying ready for whatever comes next.
I’m Sophia, the photographer behind Sophia Lewis Photography. I specialize in story-driven wedding and elopement photography across Colorado and beyond, documenting celebrations that are intentional, emotional, and deeply personal. My approach is rooted in connection and trust. I want you to feel comfortable enough to be fully yourselves so the photos reflect the real moments unfolding around you.
Milly and her team capture love across America and the world, specializing in LGBTQ+ couples and body-positive wedding photography.
Hey there! I’m Sylvie, an NYC-based photographer specializing in elopements and intimate weddings. My work is all about celebrating the texture, motion, and ephemeral feeling of your milestone day in the city I’ve called home for the past 18 years.
I’m Milo– a queer & trans nature-enthusiast with 10+ years experience photographing couples in love. I make elopements that feel like you actually got to live your day—slow, present, and full of the good stuff in between.
LoveLove is a small, queer woman-owned stationery studio. And by small, we mean just a father and daughter duo. He is a printer with over 50 years of printing experience, and she is a brand designer-turned-stationer with a deep love of art, design, and of course, love. Although our craft is paper, our hearts belong to the love story behind the stationery. LoveLove is focused on hearing your story and giving you stationery that truly feels like you.
Photography is more than just documenting for me, it is art. Allow me to capture every detail, every intimate moment, and every cinematic still that arises naturally throughout your day with an unobtrusive presence and down-to-earth demeanor.
Hey, we’re Liz & Jason, your Elopement Photographer and Videographer, Planners, Guides and all time fun duo!!
Candid, laid-back, queer destination photographer celebrating LGBTQ+ love, from epic city weddings, to mountaintop elopements.
I can’t wait to meet you. From getting to know you, documenting important moments to the delivery of your images, I’m all in.
I am a documentary wedding photographer drawn to shadow and light, mythology and nature, and the quiet revelations of belonging. I shoot hybrid on film and digital and revel in the true and deep connections of all my couples. My soul belongs to the mountains.
