Elevate Photography

I’m still in shock my how amazing this company is - particularly Ryan. Wow. They went above and beyond to make our entire experience special. We feel so honored. Love love love.

Katie was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process, and we are so thrilled with the pictures she took, both for our engagement shoot and our wedding. My husband and I aren’t used to taking professional photos, but Katie made us feel at ease with her casual, happy manner and jokes. We fell in love with Elevate when Katie told us that she focused on capturing all the moments from the wedding – not just the “stand there and smile” moments. Katie seemed to capture all the little moments of our wedding day, and I couldn’t have asked for better pictures, or a better photographer. She made sure that it felt like we were just hanging out with each other, or with our bridal party, rather than posing for a camera.

Before the wedding, Katie helped us plan out all the posed photos we wanted to make sure to take, and she was incredibly efficient in taking all our family photos. We loved the Instagram, Facebook, and Blog post sneak peeks after each event. The slideshow of first look photos during the wedding reception was also amazing, and our guests absolutely loved seeing the getting ready shots so soon. She went above and beyond in every way –climbing over rocks for our engagement shoot, making us feel at ease when we were nervous or awkward, and answering all our questions throughout the planning process. I would highly recommend Katie and Elevate Photography!

We hired Ryan Erikson of Elevate Photography to be our photographer, and we could not have asked for a better person to photograph our big day! We first considered Elevate and Ryan due to their amazing portfolio work. We also knew that we wanted to spend a bit more on photography, since the day only lasts a few hours, but pictures are forever. We don't regret it one bit. Ryan and his team (Katie and Hannah) were incredible! He captured every angle beautifully. What also drew us to Ryan was his experience with the venue and area. We took gorgeous photos in Rocky Mountain National Park before the ceremony, which wasn't something we considered until he showed his prior work near the area. Our family and friends have told us that his photos of our wedding are magazine worthy material (not that we're amazing looking, it's just that Ryan and the Elevate team take fabulous photos!). They're also super fun and personable--like having fun friends join in on your day and capturing your most precious moments of one of the best days ever. I would hire Ryan and Elevate photography over and over again.
