Maggie S. Sent on 03/14/2024Simone was incredible for all our photos
If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Simone is not only an extremely talented photographer, she is lovely to be around. She did our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, our wedding photos and even helped my husband put on a family photo shoot event for his clients. Simone is fun, funny and makes you feel so relaxed, confident and comfortable while taking photos. Simone listened to what we (I) wanted in every photo shoot in regards to the vibe, poses and the editing. She coached us through different poses and movements to make sure she got the perfect shots. Our engagement photos perfectly captured our playful love and the beautiful Colorado scenery. Our wedding photos were exactly what I wanted (mostly candid photos) - she truly captured the day perfectly. I genuinely feel like we are reliving the day when I look back at photos and its so fun to see parts of my wedding that I didn't even notice were going on. Simone has incredible energy and organization (she was previously a teacher) so she was able to command our family and bridal party and move us through all the formal pictures quickly which was so important to us. We did not want our wedding day to feel like a photoshoot. Then she seamlessly slid into the background and captured candids the rest of the day. Many of our couple friends have also used Simone because of how great they saw all of our photos turn out. Simone is simply the best and we couldn't recommend her enough!!!! -

Ryan B. Sent on 01/06/2024Captured our Wedding with Amazing & Comprehensive Attention to Detail
Simone Schiess was a dream photographer and by far the best choice we could have made for capturing the moments, memories and magic of our wedding. She was personable, professional and the perfect balance of engaging and efficient. As we revisited our album of all the amazing images she captured, we were in tears of joy and appreciation reliving the most spectacular day of our life. We got to see moments we hadn't witnessed personally, the faces of our friends and family during the ceremony, speeches and our first dance that truly touched our hearts. Our formal photos are gorgeous and so are the candid shots she got of us getting ready, the ceremony, reception and speeches. One of my family members familiar with film and photography – who wasn't present at our wedding – asked how many assistants she had to capture the comprehensive photography that he was looking at. He was flabbergasted to learn that it was all done by a one person with two cameras on a holster sling! There are a lot of photographers out there, but Simone was the perfect fit for our personality, our community and our wedding! -

My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Simone! She is truly talented. We both are a little awkward about taking photos so we wanted someone who made us feel natural and comfortable, Simone was the perfect match for us. I had some ideas about what I thought I'd like and Simone took those ideas and grew them into the most spectacular photos. To top off our great experience, our family loved her as well. She even took time to share some neat tips for my MIL with her new camera. We will certainly make more trips out to Colorado for family photos! -

Incredible and Fun Photographer!
We LOVED working with Simone Schiess Photography! Simone is so good at making you feel comfortable, the perfect combination of fun and professional.

You can't go wrong choosing Simone!!
We are incredibly grateful that we found Simone! She did our engagement photo shoot and wedding photos, and her husband Calvin made our wedding video!

The best wedding photographer!
We feel like we hit the jackpot finding Simone as our wedding photographer. She was able to capture all the moments of our day, beautifully. From the classics to the creatives, she provided us artistic keepsakes forever. Not only do we love the finished products, we adored our time with her. She’s fun, flexible, efficient and kind. We were able to enjoy our day and trust that she’d capture the magic- and she sure did! Simone is one of a kind. I’m forever grateful for her! -

I wish we could give Simone 10 stars. She was so much fun to hang out with on our big day, and took time with us prior to the wedding to prioritize what was important to us. Her suggestions to us were invaluable and she was excellent with our family and wedding party. The photos came out better than I could have ever imagined! -

Love love love
We worked with Simone for our engagement and wedding photography, and we can't recommend her more. My husband and I are fairly camera shy, and Simone worked really hard to make us feel comfortable. Simone was professional and dependable, and it was really invaluable on our wedding day that we could completely trust her to make sure we got all the photos we needed. Our families all commented on how much they enjoyed working with Simone, and our families truly treasure the images she created. We also hired Calvin to be a second shooter, and we were so happy we did! We love that we have multiple shots from important moments on our wedding day. I'm so happy with how our photos turned out, and I'm so grateful that we look so natural and comfortable in our images. Simone has a beautiful eye and is a gentle editor who made sure we looked great without over-editing our images. Simone and Calvin have become dear friends through the process of getting ready for our wedding, and we're so lucky we found them :) -

Best photographer ever!
Ok. Hire this lady RFN (Right F****** Now). My jaw has hit the floor so many times after getting photos back from her, it doesn't even close right anymore. Simone did our engagement shoot and our wedding and I have endless compliments for this woman. She is personable and fun and makes you feel so comfortable. Her shooting style is unmatched, except maybe by her editing style which is simple and beautiful. She is incredibly organized and great at running the wedding day. She can really rally a wedding party together which is KEY for a successful wedding photo experience. She is patient and kind and just a BLAST to be with.
Hire her and let's make her famous!

Kathy I. Sent on 03/03/2023Simone Saves our Day
People always say that you can only prepare so much for your big day and that is 100% accurate. Our original photographer who we scheduled over a year in advance showed up one day too early. Yeah…the worst thing that could have happened, like actually happened. Luckily, Simone was the backup and with less than a 24 hour notice she agreed to fill in and made an impromptu trip to Breckenridge, CO. We have never met her and that honestly didn’t even matter. She was super inviting, warm, and just jumped right on in. It was just what we needed and she just naturally blended in and integrated herself throughout the events of the evening. I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason and if the mishap didn’t happen, we wouldn’t have had the wonderful opportunity of crossing paths. Not only is she a wiz at photography but she is also a wonderful human being with a sincere soul. She strives to make the whole day centered around the things that are most important to you and I would highly recommend her to anyone because her personable interactions make all of the difference. We admire her style, keen perspective, and attention to detail. Not only did I receive a lot of praise on our photos but I also had multiple wedding attendees let me know how kind Simone was. It was one of the best weekends of our life and Simone was a key factor in making that happen! -

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about our experience having Simone as our wedding photographer! She is skilled, professional, intuitive, and hard working. She sent us a sneak peek album just hours after our wedding, and every photo is amazing. We are so happy with the results. Also, she was such a fun addition to our wedding! Our crowd loved her, and we felt so relaxed taking photos with her. Thanks for everything! -

Emily G. Sent on 09/20/2022Simone is a magical artist!
I'd 10 out of 10 recommend Simone. My wedding was pretty non-traditional and Simone quickly adapted to the changes in language and events that my partner and I wanted to incorporate. And like most family events, there was plenty of family drama that Simone handled seamlessly - she was able to accommodate what getting multiple shots with different configurations of family so there was a photo that could make each family member happy. Simone is also great with kids and was able to get ALL of the little ones actually looking at the camera which was honestly shocking to me! I was worried about feeling judged by my photographer for some aspects of my life that are not what most people would expect, but I did not for one second feel judged by Simone. She made me feel at ease and cared for during the event, and in the photo editing process. Simone got us some "sneak peaks" quickly and my partner and I pretty much gasped over every single one! The rest of the photos came a few weeks later and they are wonderful. Hire Simone! You won't regret it. -

Simone Schiess Photography
Simone Schiess Photography from start to finish was a delight to work with. Simone is an excellent communicator. She always got right back to us with questions and the order of operations so we knew what to expect. Simone asked thoughtful questions that helped to shape not just a photo shoot but an experience leading up to the wedding.
Day of, Simone seemed to be everywhere calm and collected while winning the hearts of our friends and loved ones with each memory she captured. Simone's warm, inviting demeanor while directing shots, made the experience feel effortless and now we have stunning, creative images we love so much! One of the most consistent retellings about our wedding day by our guests was, Simone and how great she was. -

Simone was a sensational photographer for our wedding. She met us with a calm and open energy and listened to what we were looking for at our walkthrough. She was exactly on time for the day and rolled with the chaotic flow of the wedding like a true champ. She made friends with our relatives, joked and laughed our way through the group photos. I appreciated when she gave us a bit of a nudge about some photos we would regret not taking. A few times she pulled us aside to take photos on the water at sunset, and in the moonlight- they are so cute! Full send recommend!! -

Amy N. Sent on 02/04/2022Hire Simone ASAP - she's amazing!!
We worked with Simone for engagement photos and our wedding day in August of 2021, she is AMAZING! The engagement photos were a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. We went to one of our favorite local hikes at sunset and had so much fun. Our wedding was a small event and Simone and her second shooter (Calvin) did a fantastic job. They perfectly captured the ceremony and efficiently went through our formal photos with family and friends. It was also definitely worth it to have them get ready with us and stay for part of the reception. We are so grateful to Simone and can’t wait to work with her again for other special events in our lives. -

Jackie P. Sent on 01/10/2022Responsive, professional, calming! The whole package!
Simone was absolutely amazing at our wedding! My wife and I are a little bit shy about taking pictures together and in general. We both feel kind of awkward! As a LGBTQ+ couple, it can be a little bit intimidating to have your pictures taken, because a lot of the examples of weddings that you see are heterosexual couples, so we didn't really have a vision to build off of. When we relayed that to her during our initial meeting, she told us not to worry and that she would make sure we didn't look awkward in our photos! On the day of our wedding, Simone helped to make us extremely comfortable, and as a result, we have some really incredible pictures! She also remembered all the special photos we wanted to take with our families, and was able to rally the troops quickly and efficiently so we could all get to the cocktail hour! We are so happy with the quality of our pictures and would 100% use Simone again in the future! She's the best! -

Billie O. Sent on 02/05/2022Great Experience!
We are so happy that we found, Simone, the perfect photographer for our wedding. Her warm and funny personality made us feel very confident that she'd be a perfect addition for our wedding day. Before our wedding, we had several discussions about what we envisioned the day would be. She listened intently and was well-prepared when the day came. On our day, she worked very hard, taking a variety of pictures at several different locations. She never stopped! In the end, the wedding pictures were full of smiles, laughter, happy tears and captured the magic of the entire day. Now we have beautiful pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime. We love Simone and her work! -

Simone Understands the Assignment 100%
Simone did our engagement session and was the primary photographer at our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Not only is she the epitome of professional, we chose her because she gave off an energy that made the photos seem less forced and more natural. Simone's style is a mix of candid and posed which worked well for our wedding where you want "the moment" captured and need to nail the family photos and, boy, did she ever. She worked us through the nerves, the inclement weather, the questionable party-goer decisions, and was so patient through it all. Simone just made everything okay, which meant we were okay and able to enjoy our day that much more. As reference, I'd say on a scale from 1 - 5 (with 5 being most Type A), we're solid 4's, and have the utmost trust in her ability. I would 100% hire Simone again and would feel most confident in that choice. -
