We are so overjoyed with the entire experience from start to finish!!

Lydia and T from Mountain Magic Media helped capture our special day for literally the entire day and we had a blast with them! We had our surprise sunrise proposal photo session on a mountain, then we had a family brunch which they captured and were able to take some great family portraits, followed by an evening photo session at sunset. They were absolutely incredible and thoughtful in the planning process, during the proposal, and throughout the entire day. They were such a blast to be around and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I love that they didn’t rush us during the sessions and they gave us helpful tips for some great candid-looking photos. They know all of the best spots with the best lighting, the most gorgeous times of day. As you can see, our photos turned out beautifully!!!  They are just cool humans and we feel so lucky to have gotten to hang with them during our sessions. They were very go-with-the-flow, understanding and kind. We will definitely be using them again in the future to help us capture all of the fun milestones ahead.

We could not be more pleased with choosing Lydia and T as our wedding photographers.

They went above and beyond in capturing all the best moments on our day. We even had family members mention to us how they saw Lydia and T everywhere, making sure to get all the candid moments. They’re both such nice people and had great communication before and during the wedding. We felt at ease taking photos and are so happy with how they all turned out.

We absolutely love our photos from Mountain Magic!

Lydia and T were amazing to work with through out the entire process. We had been wanting to go to Crested Butte, but never had the chance so we figured what better reason to go than for our wedding! We knew we wanted something small and casual with only immediate family, but still wanted to get pictures.

Having never been there, it was difficult to plan and envision exactly how the day would go. Lydia and T were so helpful in helping us pick out a location for a ceremony and even went to scout locations for pictures for us! It was so nice to have someone local and very familiar with the area.

Prior to the wedding we met with Lydia and T to chat about what we were looking for in pictures. We stressed the importance of pictures of our dogs as well as niece and nephew and they made sure to do some individual shots that we absolutely love! We cannot recommend them enough!”

Gallons and I mean GALLONS...of happy tears!

Can’t say enough good things + couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos… Lydia and T shot our engagement and the pictures turned out amazing. We had high hopes for our wedding photos and they totally blew us out of the water. The best, and most special part to me, is they captured us- every picture totally embodies me and my husband and what we wanted our wedding to be about. It never felt posed or forced. I think it’s really rare to completely capture who people are through photos-but they got us. Thank you Lydia and T!
