Absolutely loved our photos!

This review is a long time coming (sorry Whitney), but Whitney was our photographer for our wedding last October. We absolutely love how the photos turned out - she was able to showcase so much of the emotion of the day. It’s been so hard for our family and us to pick out the ones that we want to frame because of this. On the day of, Whitney was so accommodating to our schedule and all of the chaos that comes with a wedding, and she was a pro through it all. She was able to deal with a difficult bridesmaid & family drama while staying professional and understanding (but also with boundaries), which I am so incredibly grateful for. It meant a lot to me that she did what she could to handle the day, but also recognized when something was going too far and needed family to be involved (this was a mental health episode in one of the guests - absolutely not a normal wedding day situation), as the last thing that I wanted was for my vendors to be in an uncomfortable situation. Her and Misty (my planner from Blissful Moment Events) absolutely made my day so easy and seamless, allowing me to just enjoy the emotions. The photos bring me back to the day in the best way possible, and I love them so much. Thank you for everything you did Whitney!

Your dream photographer is right here!

Where do I even begin?!

To start, if I could give Whitney a “1 billion star review”, I would. I can't express enough gratitude to Whitney for being such an integral part of our elopement day. From the moment we met her, her funny, kind, and caring nature put us at ease and made the entire planning experience more enjoyable and WAY less stressful!

Whitney is an expert in her field. She knew exactly how to curate our Colorado elopement experience. Whitney gave us tons of tips and tricks for booking the BEST vendors in Colorado and located the perfect spots for adventuring. Her insight and recommendations were invaluable, and she helped us create a day that reflected our vision perfectly.

Not only did she help create and organize the perfect day, but Whitney's talent behind the lens takes things to the next level. I literally watched her scale the mountains of Cottonwood Pass in a pair of VANS sneakers while taking the most breathtaking photos of us! She also has a unique ability to create a relaxed atmosphere, which allowed us to truly be ourselves in front of the camera. She captured every precious moment with such artistry and attention to detail, and created memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

While looking through our photos, we are reminded not only of the beauty of the day but also of the joy and love we felt. She goes above and beyond for her clients which shines through in her work. My husband and I both feel incredibly lucky to have had her as our photographer, and can’t recommend her enough! If you're looking for someone who is not only a badass but also genuinely cares about making your special day unforgettable, look no further!

Choose whitney!

Where to even begin! We absolutely loved Whitney so much and could not have imagined our day without her. Taking our engagement pictures with her, she wowed us then, with playing around with locations, taking us out on a cliff side to get the most stunning shots, including our dog, the list goes on but we already knew we were in for an amazing time and just amazing photos as well. Not only does Whitney make getting your photo taken fun (we aren't that used to being in front of the camera) the photos turned out absolutely stunning and we are obsessed.

Then our wedding, she helped us actually narrow down where to have it, gave us tons of elopement ideas, and basically just supported us through the whole process. Our wedding day turned out spectacular and she was such a calm and easy presence to have there, when we were running a little late, she kept everything under control and got all the amazing photos that we had requested. Everyone throughout the day and in the weeks following kept telling us how amazing our photos were and how much they loved our photographer. We could not recommend Whitney enough if you want the most incredible, real, beautiful, spectacular photos of your day, while also just having someone in your corner to champion you all day! We absolutely love Whitney (and her second shooter, we had Leah for the day) and might need to get married again just to get more wedding photos with her! :) Thank you Whitney

STUNNING! Hire her now!

If you are looking for timeless, elegant and fun wedding photos, literally stop right where you are. Whitney is simply as good as it gets. She shot our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and every time we post or send them, everyone is obsessed (as are we!) Our wedding was about a week ago and I literally cannot stop looking at the sneak peek.

Whitney has a way of not only capturing the moment, but capturing the feeling of the moment as well as the vision you have for your special day. She was always able to get great shots whether that meant instructing us a bit when we weren't sure what to do with our arms, or just letting us do our thing in a way that felt authentic to us.

For our engagement photos, she turned drinks at a ski lodge into cozy, intimate moments captured on film, and a mountain charcuterie party complete with a couple runs down the slopes into an epic time that we can cherish forever not only in our memories, but in her images.

Then came wedding day and when she got the (massive) sneak peek back to us (insanely quickly) I felt all the feelings again that I had felt on our wedding day. I felt the butterflies I had during my first look with my friends, the tears I cried during the one with my dad, and then the reassurance and excitement I felt during my first look with my husband. (Why am I crying again as I write this?)

But it doesn't stop there. Whitney helped us walk and move through couples photos in a way that created elegant, timeless images, was constantly on the lookout for good lighting, expertly scouted the new terrain, and was there to instruct family as needed for group shots. She even made sure to include our pup in our special day!

And then there was the party. The dance floor shots are my favorite, as every single thing she captured speaks to a personality, a moment, and the feelings of excitement and joy that we had as we partied the night away with all of our favorite people.

Basically what I'm saying is, time flies on your wedding day. But Whitney expertly captures the beauty and emotion of the whole day, so that instead of being fleeting, it can be remembered forever. I don't even know how she is everywhere, getting every moment, but she is. Not to mention she is a support throughout the entire wedding process and was so helpful in coming up with our timeline for the day when we had some questions during planning.

We are so overjoyed that we got to share our special day with Whitney and highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thank you for helping to make our perfect day even more memorable 🤍

Whit Is Amazing!!

10/10 would recommend using Whitney as your wedding photographer, she was beyond accommodating with our wedding and the photos are jaw-droppingly amazing. She also brought her husband as a second photographer to catch every candid and authentic moment possible and we couldn't be happier with how the day went and how helpful they both were. Photography is not something you should skimp on and Whitney's delivery and professionalism is top-notch.

Above and beyond.

Whitney photographed our engagement as well as our wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning. She made our goofy interactions into gorgeous photos. However, not only does she do amazing work; she also helped to coordinate my wedding ceremony and reception. Telling our guests where they needed to be and when. She also surprised us by bringing Brady as an extra photographer who took drone footage of our ceremony. She truly went above and beyond in all ways possible.

Amazing!!! Would recommend to anyone!!

Whitney is incredible!! Not only are the pictures unreal, but Whitney herself is such a sweet, thoughtful, and easy-going person. Our elopement went so smoothly and was such a blast. We came from out of town (East Coast --> Breckenridge for the elopement) and she went above and beyond to scout out a spot for pictures. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her work!! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!!

Photographer

We hired Whitney to shoot our July wedding in Park City, UT. She blew us away with the results! She was very organized, professional, and detail oriented. She made many suggestions to honor my mother who passed away, it was very special. I highly recommend Whitney for a wedding, engagement shoot or any photo opportunities. We have so many amazing pictures from our special day to choose from. It was a fairy tale and the pictures tell the story!

Amazing time in the mountains!

Whitney was so professional but easy going at the same time. She truly made my fiancé and I comfortable in front of the camera! I am so lucky she was available to take our engagement photos. This is a day I will truly cherish!

Engagement Photos

Whitney is an amazing photographer with an amazing eye. I am not the most comfortable in front of a camera and she made me feel like a queen. She was full of poses, prompts, and sweet ideas to capture my fiancé and I. Whitney is so personable, and we felt so comfortable we hired her to fly out to our wedding. A photographer turned life long friend, and u couldn’t be any happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
