WOW! There is so much I can say, but I can sum it up in: If you want the most beautiful photos of your special day, you NEED to hire Lydia and T!
We had Lydia and T photograph both our engagement, and our elopement, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are professional, very communicative (Lydia not only created our timeline, but was able to adjust multiple times when I had concerns about weather/timing), and made us feel so comfortable! These two will make you feel like you’ve known them forever, which makes your pictures look carefree and comfortable! They also made all of our photo requests happen in a very efficient way – this was so awesome when it came to organizing our families for photos!
AND THEY SKI! I dreamt of skiing in a wedding dress, and they made it happen. Having two photographers allowed for a variety of shots, and a unique style from both Lydia and T! They are open to your ideas, have great suggestions for shots and locations, and know the area so well, that I would trust them to lead me anywhere!
Our wedding photos are absolutely perfect, and they made a stressful day so much easier! Again, I cannot recommend them enough, they will make any and all of your proposal/wedding dreams come true! I can’t wait to use them for special days in the future!!
- Anna & Matt
Lydia and T with Mountain Magic Media are the whole package! Supportive, loving, professional, and the most talented individuals ever!!
They were more than helpful at every turn of wedding planning and always there to offer words of affirmation and professional recommendations. You can truly tell it’s not just a business but who they authentically are as people. They are so skilled, and having them at our wedding day festivities was really more like having family/friends with us. They understood our inspiration, style, and vibes and were there to help make our dreams come true. Even when Colorado weather took some last-minute turns, and we had to pivot since we weren’t sure if we could access our ceremony spot, Lydia and T went the extra mile and scoped out the new spot ideas for the best possible location. And it turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. They also were amazing and hiked up to the top of Scarp Ridge with us to capture our true love of hiking in the mountains! Can’t wait to spend time with Lydia and T again. If you are looking for media experts for your event/celebration/wedding, PLEASE look no further! Mountain Magic Media is THE ONE!

If you are on the fence and reading this - just book them already!!
Wow, what an experience! Not only are Lydia & T wonderful to spend time with, they are the experience you are looking to book! We booked our wedding elopement adventure with them and from the initial conversation to the finished product we couldn’t be happier! They are up for adventure, no really, they explored all over with us and made our day so relaxing. From the first photo to the last, they really do make magic happen. We were lucky to capture the golden hour surrounded by wildflowers and have our moments come to life in photos. Lydia & T truly care about your experience, they listen to you and make sure you get the experience (and the photos) you want! We’ve found our go-to photographer to capture our moments & memories. Thank you so much for making our elopement better than we imagined!
- Heather & Kipp
Lydia and T of Mountain Magic Media provided us with the most beautiful and loving experience we could have asked for.
They went above and beyond in helping us plan the different locations where we would take pictures. They timed the different locations with the time of day and where the sun would be in the sky, providing us with the perfect lighting in every location. It just absolutely blew my mind how detailed they were in making it such a gorgeous experience. I enjoyed working with Lydia and T, not just for their incredible technical skills, but also their fun and adventurous personalities. I would absolutely recommend these photographers for whatever special day you have in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
We will advise you on how to prepare and what to wear. Trust us to give you real-time feedback about what’s working for the camera and what need adjustment. We also sometimes encourage candid moments by using action prompts. We’ll give you ideas on how to interact in front of the camera so that you’re still fully present while feeling confident and comfortable.
Pro Tip: Show off your personality! Planning an activity for your session is a fun way to incorporate your interests while also keeping you in the moment.
We define this in simple terms: If it’s just the two of you (& maybe your pup!) plus up to 30 people, then you can book our adventure elopement packages. If you’re having more than 30 people total be a part of your day and photography coverage, it’s an intimate wedding.
Every adventure is unique and we will help you plan the specifics of yours. Typically, plan for 45 minutes to an hour (or sometimes more, depending on how quickly you warm up to the camera) at each location.
- Proposals & Engagements: 1-3 hours
- Elopements: 4-12 hours
- Weddings: 6-12 hours
- Boudoir: 3-5 hours
We’ll send you a quick questionnaire, a customizable quote to accept, and a contract to sign. Save your date by paying 25% of your full package amount for weddings & elopements or 50% for engagements, proposals, & boudoir as a reservation retainer.
Maybe somewhere along the way of this journey someone told you that you want RAW files. We’re here to tell you the bad news and the good news. The bad news is that if we deliver RAW images to you, your computer likely won’t have the software to open or view these images. RAWs are meant for professional photographers (like us) to develop the images. It’s like asking for half-baked cake. The good news is that you can have your cake and eat it too! We’ll deliver high-resolution JPGs to you. Your computer will be able to open them, your eyes will be able to see them, and your heart will fall in love with them. The the only thing you need raw in your photographs: raw emotion.
