Top Photo Locations from a Colorado Photographer

I’ve compiled a list of top-notch family photo locations for you to choose from! I can’t wait to hear which places are your favorites.

"We can't say enough about the quality of service and product that Lisa provided for us."

"We chose her to photograph our wedding rather at the last minute since we weren't sure about hiring a photographer. She accommodated our schedule, understood our wants and needs, made us and our families feel totally comfortable (we don't like to pose!), and had creative suggestions. We were thrilled with the results. We look natural, at our best, and she captured the intimacy of our event as well as the fun and lightheartedness. We would highly recommend her for wedding photography, and we're sure she'd provide the same service, skill, and creativity for any event. Thank you, Lisa, for commemorating our day and making us look as happy as we were on that day, as we are now!"

"Never looked better in a photo and she made me feel the most beautiful on my wedding day!"

"I can’t get enough of our photos and cannot wait to adore them forever! Photography is about more than just the photos too, it’s about wrangling subjects into the frame. Lisa has no fear there and will get people where they need to be to keep you on schedule. She also acted as an advocate for my fiancé and I all day long. People wanted photos left and right and she was so comfortable and confident in making sure that we as the bride and groom were priority #1. But, because she was so on top of it, there was plenty of time for others to get the photos they were requesting on the spot. I genuinely could not recommend someone more highly and I will continue to go to her for all of our photography needs! We were so lucky to have her on our big day!!”

"Lisa was so amazing to work with!!"

"Even from our initial inquiry meeting, she was SO knowledgeable and kind, and even offered help with other vendors she had worked with before! Throughout the whole planning process, photography was never a concern for us based on our conversations and attention to what we wanted that Lisa exhibited. AND the pictures were stunning!!! We were so pleased with the quality of our gallery and how fast Lisa turned around all of the pictures and gave so much attention to each photo. Our friends and families were very impressed too - Lisa was excellent!!! We’d definitely recommend her (and definitely have to personal friends with weddings coming up). Best photographer ever!!!”

“Lisa was a highlight of our wedding day, for us and our guests."

"Leading up to the wedding, she was great with communicating what she needed from us. Our meetings were fun but also efficient. For the actual wedding day, Lisa was on top and the day went exactly as we worked out on the timeline. We had rainy weather but Lisa was prepared and made it fun for us to be out in the rain. She captured our entire wedding day perfectly, from beginning to end.”

Amanda S.

"SHE MADE US BOTH FEEL SUPER COMFORTABLE AND WAS VERY POSITIVE DURING OUR WHOLE PHOTO SESSION."

"Lisa was an amazing photographer for our Elopement. She was on time and ready to go right away... She also was able to go home right after our shoot and edit some photos right away so we could announce our elopement which was so amazing! All of our photos also came out so beautiful! Highly recommend!!"

Ashley S.

"STOP THE SCROLL AND HIRE LISA!"

"My husband and I live in Minneapolis and decided on Littleton, CO because marriage is an adventure and should begin on the day of the vows. I searched through multiple photographers on theknot.com and am forever grateful that I found Lisa. Lisa provided such exceptional service I am still in awe of her talent. She provides smooth transitions, thoughtful details, and so much more than I could have ever expected. I want to return to Colorado, because she makes you feel so comfortable. She has become a fast friend to discuss our favorite Trader Joe's snacks and I want to have more beautiful photos taken by her in the mountains."

“I will never have enough good things to say about Lisa!!"

"She is the most incredible, kind, fun, easy photographer I've ever worked with. It immediately felt like we knew her when we met her for our engagement shoot and we honestly couldn't wait to see her again at the wedding. She's amazed us every single time by having our sneak peaks ready within 24 hours. She even sent us 4 GORGEOUS photos the night of our wedding. Not only are her photos amazing, but her ability to capture a moment and a feeling all at once is truly incredible. We loved working with her, but so did every single person at our wedding. We got so many compliments on how wonderful she was and I couldn't agree more. Don't hesitate to book her ASAP!! She is our top recommendation!”
