Katie was one of the most wonderful photographers I have met. In fact, she was so great that we had her photograph both our engagement and wedding photos. She has a very distinctive style that fit perfectly with what we were looking for.

When we got our wedding photos back we were thrilled to see that she got both formal and photojournalistic style shots. It felt like we had it all.

I would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for an affordable, professional photographer. She is definitely worth much more then we paid.

Ryan was our photographer with Elevate Photography. He did an absolutely amazing job. I can't believe how great our pictures look. He had about 20 pictures up on facebook the same night as the wedding, which was lots of fun for friends and family to see right after the wedding. Then, he had all the pictures done and up on the website only a few weeks after the wedding. I still can't believe he got them done so quickly.

It rained on our wedding day, which makes having an outdoor ceremony difficult, and makes taking outdoor pictures even more difficult. But, Ryan stuck with us and got great pictures outside in the meadow at our venue whenever it would stop raining or only be raining a little (and had one of our friends hold an umbrella over him so the camera didn't get wet). He had a great attitude all day, even though I'm sure it was a very stressful situation for him since we weren't sure how many pictures we would be able to get.

We loved working with Ryan. My husband has a weird smile if some one tells him to smile for a pictures. But, he has a great smile if he's just smiling at some one or laughing. Ryan was able to get him to smile naturally for all of our pictures (something I can't even get him to do). The pictures are great and show how much fun we had that day, even in the rain! He really captured the moments well. I was also impressed with the quality of our pictures overall. You know how you look at a company's pictures online, but you think to yourself, "these look great, but these are their very best pictures that they are showcasing to get your business, I wonder what their average pictures look like." Well, our pictures were as great as the pictures on the website. I was thoroughly impressed with how great they came out. They look like they are magazine quality! I would absolutely recommend Elevate, and specifically, Ryan from Elevate, to any one looking to get pictures taken. Very professional, but lots of fun, and laid back enough that he never made me feel stressed out, and wonderful pictures!

Also, we get a CD with all of our pictures on it, and the lower budget photo albums are very affordable (which is what we decided to go with). We also did an engagement sitting and we're so glad we did. It gave us a chance to get to know Ryan better, and it gave him a chance to get to know us, too. Then we had a lot of fun (but high quality) pictures of us to use for newspaper announcements, etc. We also framed a few of our engagment pictures and put them up in our new house. :)

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan from Elevate Photography for our June 25th wedding. The whole experience from booking him to finally getting to see our pictures online was wonderful. I spent days looking at different portfolios online before choosing Ryan and I definently made the right decision! He was so flexible and easy to work with, his professionalism impressed my entire wedding party. He was completly at ease throughout the entire day capturing images that we will charish for a lifetime. He was able to corral our large wedding party into wonderful poses all the while making the experience fun and enjoyable. Now that the pitctures are online they are impressing our entire town :). People say that they have never seen every single wedding photograph turn out so well. I am so happy with Ryan's work I would recommend him to anyone, and I do!! After all, after the excitement of the day are over, pictures are going to be the only thing (besides your new spouse of course) that you will have left. I urge anyone seeking a photographer to use Ryan, you will not be disappointed!! :)

We love McCory! He did an amazing job and the pictures turned out just fantastic! He ran around with us for hours and got every shot we wanted. There wasn't a bad picture in the bunch.

We really loved Katie as our photographer; she was very quick and to the point (which was fantastic because the wedding was January and it was abut 17degrees out!!) She had great ideas and was really easy to work with. I would definately reccommend Katie Walker!!!

Ryan with Elevate Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding photos. Right from the start he was incredibly responsive to emails and phone calls, calling within hours of us submitting an email to schedule a time to meet. Before meeting, we were pretty sure about having Elevate do our wedding photography because we loved our friends’ Graham and Stefanie’s wedding photos. Meeting Ryan and seeing his outstanding portfolio solidified this decision.

The day of our wedding, we were impressed when Ryan arrived very early to scope out our mountain venue and find several beautiful backdrops for photos. Throughout the day, he was fun to be around and made us and our entire wedding party feel comfortable. During the ceremony and reception, we barely noticed that Ryan was there, yet it was evident from the photos that he was, as one of our groomsmen put it, “everywhere.” When the reception went longer than expected, he was flexible about staying for more time than originally planned to take more photographs, despite the long, late drive back to Denver from Mount Princeton.

When our photos arrived, we were dazzled! Ryan’s photography captured everything from intimate to humorous to artistic. The photos of the two of us were gorgeous, and we were especially pleased by the photos of the wedding party. Having been an attendant in many weddings before, I’ve had to ask myself a few times if I’d actually been in a wedding or two because there were so few shots of the wedding party. Ryan made our wedding party feel that they were an inextricable part of our day, which is true to our relationship with our friends.

Equally commendable is the turn-around time for wedding photos at Elevate Photography. Our wedding was December 19th, and our photos were posted online by January 7th. We didn’t even have to wait a month for nearly 600 professionally taken and creatively edited photos. I can’t remember ever seeing a friend’s wedding photos posted so quickly. Ryan even put together a short video of our wedding photos set to music for our friends and family to enjoy on Facebook. We recommend Ryan and Elevate Photography without reservation.

Our photos were absolutely amazing. We are so lucky to have found Elevate, and especially Ryan! He was so easy to work with and half of the time, we never noticed he was there...capturing amazing images of our beautiful day. We were speechless when we received our photos and we cannot stop looking at them! We cannot thank Elevate enough.

We are so pleased with our wedding photographs!
Ryan shot our engagement session, and Ryan and Katie shot our wedding and reception. The photographs reflect our personal style and truly capture the magic of that day.
The Elevate team worked with us to create a package that suited our needs, and were fun, professional, and very talented. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

I loved working with Elevate Photography! We chose Katie as our photographer, and not only did she take really creative and amazing photos, but she was very easy to work with, had a great, fun attitude, and was very efficient! I dealt primarily with Ryan on the "business" end of things (contracts, photo gallery post-event, etc.) and he too is incredibly quick to respond to questions/concerns. I had no worries about photos on my wedding day, and now have wonderful pictures to have and share forever! A+! :)

Ryan at Elevate Photography was so easy to work with and captured our wedding in a beautiful and creative way-I definitely recommend him for wedding photos! The photos he took were a great mix of standard family wedding shots and creative and artsy shots that really captured the feeling and emotions of the day. He scoped out a few spots around our ceremony/reception site and then took us there and helped us set up lovely photos. I never would have thought to go to the top of the Cherry Creek Mall parking garage, but the photos ended up being some of our best!

We never really noticed him during the ceremony and reception (in a good way!). He was able to direct our big distracted families and knock out family photos after the ceremony so we had time to mingle and hang out with our guests during the cocktail hour. Our wedding album turned out really great and I definitely recommend Ryan!

I wouldn't recommend anyone other than Elevate Photography for a wedding, or any other event for that matter. We looked at a variety of photographers around Denver before hearing about Elevate Photography through a friend. I looked at their website and saw that the photos were consistently better than any of the other sites I looked at. On top of that, they were flexible and one of the most reasonably priced out there! Ryan shot our engagement and wedding photos, as well as those for several of our friends. He's always turned out a great product, and we received access to our photos in two weeks...not much more you could ask for!

If you haven't made up your mind on a photographer, give them a call and see what they have to say. Ryan was incredibly easy to work with, and we constantly get comments about how well our photos turned out.

If I had to describe Elevate Photography in a single word, it would most definitely be amazing! We started our wedding planning process about a year and a half before our May 2010 wedding. We checked out a handful of photographer referrals that we received from friends, coworkers and frankly anyone with an opinion and quickly switched focus to find a photographer that better suited our style. Elevate popped on our radar after seeing a listing a listing on a wedding website; we checked out their portfolio and the search stopped there. Elevate had everything we were looking for: fun, unique and vibrant photos; something that captured our personalities and truly showed what a fun loving couple we are. Best of all, they fit our budget (because when planning a wedding during a recession, this definitely matters).

All of the photographers at Elevate are amazingly talented. We specifically worked with Ryan, for both our engagement and wedding photos, and truly can’t say enough good things about him. We could tell from that first meeting that Ryan has a passion for both photography and working with people--we knew that we were making the right decision and wouldn’t be disappointed. Ryan without a doubt surpassed all of our expectations; he was incredibly professional, responsive, provided great feedback based on his experience and was flat out a blast to work with.

As for our pictures, they’re just incredible! There’s really no other way to describe them. They’re so far beyond what we were hoping for and it’s completely a result of Ryan’s vision and amazing talent.

If I could give the future brides and grooms any advice in planning their wedding, it would be to: a) book Elevate Photography and b) be open and willing to try anything they suggest. If you follow those two guidelines, you will definitely not be disappointed!

I would recommend Elevate Photography. We had both Ryan and Katie as our photographers and they were so great to work with. They are both very nice and really make you enjoy your day while they are taking pictures as well as make you feel comfortable. The are professional, on time, and offered to stay later at our wedding to capture a few more photos. They are very creative, which makes for some fun pictures! The quality of the pictures is very good and I cannot wait to order my enlarged photos to hang on the wall. They are a little pricey.

McCory and his team were absolutely amazing before, during and even after our wedding. The moments that he captured were priceless. I received numerous comments from other guests of how personable the entire team was throughout the wedding and everyone has absolutely loved being able to view the photos online. The pictures were loaded up in 2 weeks - right before we went on our honeymoon (as promised) :) and allowed us to relive our wedding before leaving on our vacation. I would absolutely use Elevate Photography again and have already recommended them to friends getting married. I will continue to use Elevate Photography as we continue our lives together and our family grows. Thank you all for capturing the best moments of our wedding.

We could not have been more thrilled with the outcome of our photographs. They are STUNNING!! We are so excited to show them off and have received countless comments on how great they are. Ryan and McCory were both a pleasure to work with and made the experience quite enjoyable! Looking back at the pictures from the day I'm surprised by some of them, because I had no idea either of there were there taking the moment!! Thank you so much for our lasting memories!!

Ryan was great! We loved our photos! He was very flexible with us and was really great to work with. It was raining all day and when it was time for pictures, the rain stopped and we got some really great photos. Ryan was especially professional and great with our families and friends. He captured our wedding day beautifully. We will defintely recommend Ryan and Elevate Photography to everyone!
