My wife and daughter have followed Callie Riesling’s photography for several years, so we were all excited to connect with her when our daughter got engaged and began planning a wedding of her own. I couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to hire her for engagement and wedding photos! Callie is clearly a very talented photographer, but her passion and commitment to her work, as well as the personal connection she has formed with our family are really what makes her so extraordinary.

Like so many people, our daughter and son-in-law love exploring the mountains of Colorado. As they were preparing for engagement photos, they talked with Callie about wanting to have engagement photos that captured their love of the outdoors. She suggested a perfect spot and met them before dawn one May morning to take their photos as the sun was rising over the nearby mountains. The resulting photos were incredible!

As the wedding itself approached, we were in regular touch with Callie, and she used this time to get to know each member of our family and what we hoped for on our special day. On the day of the wedding, she spent more than 8 hours with our family, capturing everything from pre-ceremony preparations to the grand send-off at the end of the night. Because she had established such a wonderful relationship with all of us, we felt completely at ease that she would bring out our best in each photo. It was wonderful working with her.

Bottom line: For us, Callie is much more than just a wedding photographer. She has become a good friend, and we are so, so happy for all that she contributed to our daughter’s wedding day! I couldn’t be more enthusiastic in recommending her.

Callie is an incredibly gifted photographer, and she is an amazing human being who not only loves what she does, but she truly loves her clients too!

I’ve been following Callie’s work for a decade now, and in my heart, I KNEW that she was the perfect photographer for my daughter’s wedding! Happily, my daughter and my son-in-law completely and enthusiastically agreed! In reviewing her work, they were thrilled with her creativity and with her ability to showcase the love and joy in each and every moment!

They adored their engagement session with Callie – they explored the gorgeous Rocky Mountains at sunrise and they turned themselves over to Callie’s artistic & fun ideas! They also included their energetic pups in their photographic adventures, of course, and Callie LOVED having the full family on hand, because that is the real stuff of life & love & happiness!

And then, utter magic happened for their December winter wonderland wedding! Callie was aglow with excitement at capturing their special day, and she put everyone at ease as she flowed throughout the venue, providing clear direction when posing and adherence-to-timeline was needed, and then simply blending into the surroundings and capturing the candid and real moments as well. We put our complete trust in Callie’s talent and she exceeded our expectations! The sneak peek that she has already provided is breathtaking, and she has joked with us that hundreds more photos will be coming our way! Oh, my heart!

How I wish that my own wedding photographer (30+ years ago) was like Callie! Photographs are treasured over the years, and passed down through the generations, and Callie captures the very best moments, all while being a dear friend and creative consultant! I’ll always remember the 5 precious minutes that my husband, daughter, and I huddled up with Callie as we bustled our daughter’s gown! Just a few stolen moments of silliness and fun before we returned to the festive wedding reception!

I have shared with Callie that she is our Photographer For Life, and she is also now our beloved friend! Thank you, Callie, for being YOU, and for sharing your amazing talent with the world! You have blessed us!

If there were more than 5 stars, Callie would get every single one of them. She took our expectations and blew them out of the water. On our wedding day, not only was she our photographer, but she was more like a best friend. She was with us the whole day, guiding our timeline, being our hype gal, helping bustle my dress, and fixing my hair… all while capturing the most magical day in the best way possible. We knew having a good photographer was important for helping us relive the day for years to come - but we also found a forever friend in the process. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so thankful for Callie and the work that she does.
