Jordana Sent on 12/04/2024Beautiful, Authentic Photographs!
Justin was a pleasure to work with! He let my husband and I just be ourselves that day, and took incredibly unique photographs in the process. There was nothing formulaic about his work -- it's art!
We loved how he photographed us within the scenery of the space.
Justin was very careful to keep us on schedule! I appreciated his attentiveness and meticulousness on such a special day -- it made me feel like I could relax.
His photographs bring me so much joy; they make that day feel so alive still.
If you are looking for someone who brings intensity, professionalism, and spirit to his work, you need to work with Justin! He is such an intensely talented photographer. -

Beyond a Wedding Photographer
Justin exceeded every expectation we had of a wedding photographer. Our wedding day was perfect because of the attention to detail and professionalism he provided every step of the way, from planning meetings to the reception. He coordinated with our other vendors, especially the day-of coordinator at our venue (A Basin), so that he could get the perfect shots while keeping the day running on time (often ahead of schedule), smoothly, and efficiently.
His pictures are breathtaking. He and his incredible 2nd shooter, Travis, captured everything we had hoped for and more. We have so many favorites we are having trouble deciding which to print and frame. He captured the joy and emotions of us, our families, our friends, and the beauty of the mountains around us. We have a moment by moment record of our ceremony, something I will cherish forever.
What makes Justin and his team stand out, though, is what they do beyond photography. Any issue we had, Justin and Travis solved. Groom's hair is getting blown around in the wind? Huge can of hairspray ready to go. Need extra fashion tape to keep your dress straps in place? Justin has more than you could ever need. It's going to rain during the ceremony? Justin ensured the wedding party had coordinating umbrellas and knew where to stand and how to hold them. Two members of my bridal party felt very sick due to the altitude but didn't want to talk to me about it and worry me. I could tell and asked Justin to check on them. He and our venue coordinator arranged for transportation down the mountain and ensured they would get back safely to their rooms without myself or the groom knowing any of that was happening. He took care of my best friends like they were his best friends. They both told me how grateful and amazed they were by his kindness and care.
We have since gotten so many compliments on the photos and asked, "how did you find that amazing photographer?" I can't recommend Justin enough, I promise you will be so grateful you hired him. -

Justin is more than just a photographer, he helps the day come together seamlessly
Justin isn't just a photographer; he's a magician wielding a camera, turning moments into memories that dance off the pages of our wedding album. From the first consultation to the final click of the shutter, Justin's dedication to his craft was evident. He meticulously planned every detail, ensuring our day flowed seamlessly despite the looming threat of rain at Arapahoe Basin.
On our wedding day, as the clouds hung heavy and the rain threatened to dampen spirits, Justin remained undaunted. Alongside his talented assistant, Mike, he worked tirelessly, adapting to the ever-changing weather with ease. Their ability to capture the beauty of the day, even amidst the gloom, was nothing short of miraculous.
Throughout the day, Justin's passion for his craft shone brightly. From the intimate first look at Pass Lake to the laughter-filled moments on the dance floor, he captured every emotion with precision and artistry. His insistence on stealing moments alone amidst the chaos of the day allowed us to savor the magic of our union against the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains.
As the sun remained hidden behind the clouds for the majority of the wedding day, its eventual descent below the horizon was a welcome surprise, casting a radiant alpenglow upon the landscape. Justin and Mike, seizing the opportunity, whisked us outside to capture the golden hour's ethereal beauty. These impromptu moments, immortalized in photographs, serve as timeless reminders of the love and joy that filled our hearts on that magical day, despite the earlier lack of sunlight.
One of the most memorable moments of the day occurred when Justin, amidst the hustle and bustle of the festivities, noticed that the planned "Family Fireball Shot" photo was about to be missed. With characteristic grace and composure, he rallied the troops, ensuring that this spontaneous and cherished moment was captured for eternity.
Looking back, we are eternally grateful to Justin for his unwavering dedication, creativity, and professionalism. He didn't just capture photos; he curated memories that will last a lifetime. To anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond to transform moments into memories, we wholeheartedly recommend Justin. Thank you, Justin and Mike, for making our wedding day an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, love, and timeless photographs. -

Jessica Sent on 01/31/2023Forever grateful to Justin for making it the best day of my life!
Its hard for me to summarize just how amazing Justin is and that working with him was the absolute highlight of my wedding. From taking the time to meet us to get to know who we are as people and our story, to working seamlessly with the various wedding vendors, we knew Justin would capture the vision and spirit of our wedding and not just 'take pictures.'
To say Justin went above and beyond is an understatement. He was truly the wedding MVP and I will be forever grateful!
When I heard my Grandma was not well enough to attend my wedding my heart shattered into a million pieces. I could not comprehend not being able to see her on the most important day of my life. I tried to focus on being the bride and being happy but felt like a piece of my heart was missing.
Seeing my sadness, Justin stepped up to the plate and took control of the situation to ensure my wedding day was everything I dreamed of.
I will never forget what he said to me: "If Grandma can't come to us, we're going to her." And just like that, he coordinated with my wedding planner, videographer, venue and family in real time to make it happen. He literally rearranged the entire afternoon and wedding because he just knew how important it was to me!
I am SO grateful to Justin and his team for making this moment happen. It meant everything.
After being able to spend this time with my Grandma, the rest of the day felt like an absolute DREAM. The happiness he was able to deliver and capture is PRICELESS! I cherish these photos and memories, and will be forever thankful to Justin for making my wedding day the best day of my life! -

Justin was absolutely amazing! He was responsive and helpful during the planning process, but particularly on the day of he was truly incredible.

The Real Deal!
Justin is a fun and interactive photographer, but doesn't compromise on professionalism. He was discrete during our ceremony, but also attentive to every moment. We loved the photos he produced and keep getting compliments! He isn't just a photographer who does this for fun. Justin is the real deal. This isn't a side hustle or a hobby for him. And it shows! -

Gorgeous Mountain Photography
My fiancé and I used Justin for our engagement pictures in the mountains. He was the best!! Justin has a very calm demeanor and goes all out to get the perfect shot. We took pictures on a cold January day near Lake Dillon and ended up hiking up a small hill and treading through almost 2 feet deep of snow! I was surprised how much fun we ended up having. Then, within three weeks, we received our edited photos and loved them! I would highly recommend using Justin for your photo needs. -

Dan C. Sent on 11/18/2020Book with Justin!
We had an amazing experience working with Justin. Our first choice for our engagement photoshoot was Maroon Bells, but with the COIVD restrictions it wasn't possible but Justin recommended an incredible substitute (Piney Lake) which wasn't on our radar but turned out to be amazing. Justin has an amazing eye and took tons of amazing photos and we also loved his editing style which is eye-catching but not over the top. Usually in shoots like this we are expecting 2-3 photos we are really happy with but Justin provided too may to count. Do yourself a favor and book your shoot with Justin! -

We worked with Justin for our wedding last month and could not be happier with how the photos turned out. Prior to the wedding, getting to know his calm and professional demeanor made us confident that he would produce the photos from our special day that we would enjoy for a lifetime.
Being that we had a winter wedding (a small window for natural light) and knowing that we had a very tight schedule for the series of events throughout the night, Justin still managed to capture those "heart clenching" photos that look like they could be posted in a wedding magazine. He made sure that we felt zero stress during our big day. We highly commend him for how flexible he was with our strict timeline.
Our friends would not stop commenting on how "awesome" our photographer was. I received multiple comments about how he would be literally diving to get great shots and it seemed like he and his partner were everywhere at once. If that isn't dedication and skill, I don't know what is.
Our only complaints are twofold: we wish that the structure of the family shots was a little more organized. We understand that we have large families and again there was that tight timeline, but unfortunately most of the family portraits turned out looking like a crowd of people, not exactly evenly distributed, us (the couple) on center, or always shot head on.
Second, we wish that there were more photos taken throughout the night of the reception other than on the candid shots on dance floor. It was obvious that there was tons of energy on the dance floor, but other than a few exceptions, if you were a guest who was not dancing, you were not photographed.
Overall we are incredibly happy with the quality of our photos and working with Justin was a joy. We would 10/10 recommend him and we plan on hiring him again in the future! -

David Sent on 11/13/2019Super Glad We Hired Justin!
We were initially drawn towards Justin by his photographic style. We love the look of his photos, both the examples that he had on his website, as well as the photos from our wedding and engagement session. Justin is a very knowledgeable professional photographer, he did everything he could to get the best photos possible for us, including working with us and the rest of our vendors to plan photography time. Justin was worth every penny, he is great and super easy to work with! -

We hired Justin to shoot photos for our wedding this summer and he was excellent to work with from our initial discussion all the way through the delivery of our photos. After looking through tons of photographer portfolios, we came across Justin’s website which had beautiful landscape photos, that captured the full scene, without having to rely on special filters. We reached out to him, even though our wedding was only 2 months away, and he immediately instilled confidence in us with his great ideas on how to capitalize the beautiful mountain scenery surrounding our wedding site. During our wedding day, he and his partner had a great plan in order to capture the moments that we wanted, and they worked together seamlessly. Following our wedding, we enjoyed the sneak peek photos that Justin was posting on his Instagram and blog. Justin delivered all of our photos within 2 weeks of our wedding and provided us an easy way to share with all of our family and friends. His professionalism and organization throughout our wedding planning, along with the great ideas and fun that he had with us on our wedding day made for a great experience and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. -

Book. Him. Now.
I was lucky enough to land Justin as our wedding photographer. Let me just tell you something, this guy will capture EVERY MEMORY from your wedding. I look back on our photos and can't believe the amount of detail he was about to capture. Hiring Justin as your photographer means you won't have to also hire a videographer because he will literally capture as much and MORE than a videographer would. Justin ran the show, made us all feel at ease, and was such a good communicator. When you hire Justin you're hiring a hell of a lot more than a photographer. He is the full package!!! Book him now!!! Justin, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We love you. -

Fantastic Engagement Pictures Experience
I am from Tennessee, but came to Colorado to take my engagement pictures with Justin because I had big dreams of scenic engagement pictures in the mountains and fall colors. Justin turned those dreams into reality with our engagement shoot. The weather was not cooperating as a big snow storm came through, but Justin gave great advice on postponing the shoot to another day with better weather, and that turned out great. Thanks to the snow, we were able to get amazing pictures in the snow and fall colors. Justin went out of his way to find the last of the fall colors and knew exactly where all the best snow locations were (that he drove us to!) as well. He was super patient as we changed clothes (he has a great eye for fashion and what looks good on camera!). Justin knew how to pose us well, but also listened to my ideas. He had the files back to us within 4 weeks, which is what he promised to us. Many of my friends said they were the best engagement pictures they had ever seen, so it was definitely worth the trip! The colors are vibrant and not overly processed and the scenery comes through incredibly. Thank you, Justin! -

My friends have been raving about our photos since we've gotten them back. Justin and Travis were on top of things the entire night, focusing 100% on catching all the moments in the best way possible and getting the best shots throughout the night. They were professional and dedicated from start to finish (and my wedding day was much longer than the norm). You won't regret choosing Justin. -

Meghan Sent on 10/20/2018Amazing photographer! Finds extraordinary in the ordinary.
Justin Edmunds Photography EXCEEDED our expectations for our wedding photos. I didn't know much when I set out looking for a photographer, but I asked around and was referred to Justin from another photographer that had been recommended to me. I found him while in search of one single photo I wanted with all the stars in a mountain sky you get from a 10 second exposure. Although it was cloudy when our reception started, it cleared up and he delivered the most perfect photo. I thought that one would be my favorite, but he HUSTLED along with his assistant photographer to capture the most precious moments in every dance, speech, laugh, and kiss. He finds light and reflection in the spectacular ordinary. Justin has an easy personality to work with and incredible professionalism and passion for photography, specifically weddings! I would recommend him to anyone. My family and friends, near and far, who have seen the photos want to fly him out for their weddings because of his talent and commitment for the best shot. -

Nick Sent on 08/05/2018Wow!! Just WOW!!! Weddings are stressful... we all know that. So when you find a vendor who you know you can trust with absolute confidence it allows you to take the time to actually enjoy the occasion. Justin Edmonds is the very definition of that vendor. He is punctual, professional and takes the best pictures I have ever seen PERIOD!! Let's begin with our engagement session...He will see things that you are not able to imagine... you will be put in positions where you ask yourself "What is this guy doing??" And then you see your photos and you will realize that you were not even in the same reality as he was when he took the shot. As for the wedding...When we were there on our special day, every time we even began to hope that a certain instant would be captured we would hear the cameras shutter. The moments that we may have missed, the angles we could not see and the happy memories we may one day forget are now available to us forever and we could not be happier about it!! Making the decision to chose Justin Edmonds as our photographer was easily the best decision we made in wedding planning. https://www.jcedmonds.com/

Erica Sent on 04/05/2018Justin is a family friend, so we were thrilled to have someone we were familiar with shoot our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Justin made both experiences really easy for us and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our photos turned out! We got married in a Catholic Church that was pretty strict on where photographers could and could not be; Justin really did his research in-person leading up to the big day to make sure he could effectively capture all the special moments, which we really appreciated! It was a relief knowing I could trust him with keeping things on schedule day-of and instructing everyone where to be and when so I didn't even have to think, I could just enjoy every moment! He kept the energy up all day and calmed my nerves before our first look. He also suggested to keep our first look between just my husband and I, which ended up being perfect for us and some of my most cherished memories. The alone time was so needed and helped calm both our nerves before the ceremony. He also got our wedding pictures to us in less than three weeks, which is crazy considering he took close to 12,000 photos that day. Look no further if you want beautiful and timeless photos! Justin is THE best. There are so many photos I can't wait to print and decorate my house with!

Amber Sent on 11/20/2017Justin was SUCH an amazing and integral part of our day. He kept things running smoothly leading up to the ceremony, (trying) to keep us on schedule! He also had a wonderful bag of emergency supplies that we took advantage of. And, that's above and beyond the amazing photographs he took. Our photos were sent to us promptly, and we love every single one of them. He captured beautiful pictures of the bride and groom, the wedding party and the guests. The dancing pictures are some of my favorites and really captured the joy and fun of the day. I can't imagine someone we would rather have trusted our day to.
