As your Crested Butte wedding photographers, we’re watching for the moments no one planned for, and leading with clarity so you can simply be present.
Your wedding day should feel grounded and unhurried, with a clear sense of what comes next. That ease is something we build deliberately. Through planning conversations and a timeline crafted around your day, every detail is handled in advance so nothing is left to chance. You arrive ready to celebrate. We arrive ready for everything.
We have been photographing weddings together since 2018, and being married ourselves shapes how deeply we care about getting every part of your entire experience right. Moving as one team, we communicate seamlessly, and carry a cohesive vision from the first look through the final song.
Couples tell us their wedding photos feel completely like them. Their day never felt forced, and that is exactly what we are going for. From the planning process through the final delivery, we are fully present, fully prepared, and completely invested in your Crested Butte wedding.
Reach out and tell us about your day. We will follow up to schedule a call where we get to know each other, talk through your vision, and make sure we are the right fit. No pressure, just a real conversation.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we will send over your contract and invoice to secure your date. From there, you are officially on our calendar and we are fully in your corner.
We’ll send over our wedding questionnaire to gather everything we need to know about your day — your vision, your priorities, your people, and any details that matter most to you. The more we know, the better prepared we are.
We connect with you and/or your planner to build your photography timeline together. Furthermore, we factor in your venue, your schedule, and the light so that every moment of your day is accounted for and flows seamlessly.
We arrive prepared, confidently moving through every part of the day, and handling everything behind the lens. You focus on enjoying every moment.
Your preview images are delivered within one week and the full gallery is delivered within eight weeks of your wedding day. From there, we walk you through your artwork options so your photographs have a home that lasts.
We’re Lydia and Terren, a local husband-and-wife photography team with over 30 combined years in this valley and nearly a decade of experience photographing Crested Butte weddings together.
As a married duo, we understand what’s at stake on a wedding day. Not just the logistics, but the weight of it. The details you spent months planning, people you want present, and the feelings you want to carry with you long after the day is over.
We also know what it takes to pull off a wedding day in the mountains. The planning, the vendor relationships, the nuances of every venue, and the weather that can shift without warning. We’ve seen it all, and we’ve built a process around making sure none of it catches you off guard.
Booking with us means two professionals who are fully prepared, deeply familiar with Crested Butte weddings, who have refined every part of the process, and who show up fully invested in making your day as beautiful as you imagine it.
Two photographers dedicated entirely to your day, covering every angle so nothing goes undocumented. Collections crafted with storytelling in mind, structured around the arc of your day rather than strict hourly limits. Guided, organic posing that keeps you present and at ease. A photography timeline built around your day, coordinated with you and your planner. Preview images delivered within one week. Your fully curated photographs delivered within eight weeks via a private online gallery. A Celebratory Reveal Call to walk through your images and explore print and album options at your own pace. Print credit included in every collection, because tangible photographs are the ones that leave a lasting impression.
Absolutely. With 30-plus combined years exploring the Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley, we know the venues, the light, and the locations worth considering for every season. We plan your portraits around your vision so every location feel perfectly aligned with your intentions.
Of course. We are completely pet-obsessed and welcome animals at any pet-friendly location. Just let us know ahead of time so we can factor it into your timeline.
Colorado weather is part of the experience, and we work with it rather than against it. As long as conditions are safe, we stay out and document — some of the most dramatic light comes right after a storm. If we need to shift locations or adjust timing, we will guide you through it in real time.
Yes, on both counts. We will give you real-time feedback throughout the day and use movement-based prompts rather than rigid poses so you stay present and relaxed. The result is photographs that look like you and bring back exactly how the day felt every time you look at them.
Simple: 25 guests or fewer and you can book one of our elopement collections. More than 25 guests falls under wedding coverage. Not sure which fits your day? Just ask.
We love to travel and photograph couples across the globe. From Belize, to Costa Rica, to Italy, we’re romanticizing your love story, wherever it takes you. Statewide travel is available for an additional $1000. Beyond Colorado, ask us for a quote tailored to your travels.
