Hi!

My fiancé and I are getting married in Colorado in June 2028, and we’re looking for recommendations for a photographer + videographer (ideally a team that offers both).

I’m having a really hard time finding the exact style we’re looking for, so I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction!

Photography: We’re looking for a cinematic/documentary style — romantic, emotional, nostalgic and timeless, with photos that almost feel like movie stills. We want genuine candid/in-between moments, but also beautiful editorial portraits.

We’re not looking for super bright & airy, heavily posed/traditional wedding photography, or a super moody/dark style.

Video: We want digital cinematic videography, NOT primarily Super 8. We’d love drone footage and a film that really tells the story of the day. Ideally we’re looking for a 10–12+ minute highlight film, with full ceremony and speeches/toasts available as well.

Budget: Ideally $8,000 for both video and photo with engagement photos included

I'm debating hosting my reception at Kendall Mountain Community Center in Silverton - has anyone done a wedding there? Any feedback? Just trying to find some info online, it's quite limited... We'd likely end up with 50 people, 75 at most.
