If I could do a photoshoot with Ali once a week... I would! For a girl who feels uncomfortable in front of the camera, Ali does an amazing job of making it fun, comfortable, silly,...
special, and easy. I got to work with Ali for my wedding back in August, and we did a photoshoot for my own business recently and it was simply the best! The photos are perfection and we had so much fun taking them!
Where do I even begin with Ali?! Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. For context: my now-husband would be the first to tell you that being ...
in front of a camera is… not his thing. Think Chandler Bing during the engagement photo episode of Friends... the stiff smile, the panic, the “is this my face?!” energy. That was the expectation going in. And yet… somehow, magically, Ali turned him into someone who not only tolerated photos, but genuinely enjoyed them.
From our adventure session (which we LOVED and was a huge reason we fell in love with her style prior to booking; so much more “us” than a traditional, staged engagement shoot) to the wedding day itself, Ali made everything feel effortless. She has this incredibly professional yet completely down-to-earth presence that instantly puts you at ease. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. Her aesthetic is so natural and timeless, and she captures moments in a way that feels real, not manufactured.
On our wedding day, she was incredible. Half the time we forgot she was even there, yet she somehow captured everything... the big emotional moments and the tiny in-between ones we didn’t even realize were happening. And when it came to group photos, I’ve never seen someone move so efficiently and gracefully while keeping the vibe light and fun. No chaos, no stress. Just seamless execution.
And then there are the photos themselves. Absolutely. Stunning. Every single image feels like a work of art, but also deeply personal. They don’t just show what our wedding looked like, they capture what it felt like.
Beyond her insane talent, Ali is one of the sweetest humans I have ever met. She has the biggest heart and pours so much care into her couples. By the end of the weekend, she didn’t just feel like our photographer, she felt like family. And honestly, she is now.
We cannot recommend her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have Ali capture your day, you'll know - she is pure magic.
From the very beginning, she made Eric and me feel completely at ease, like we were simply spending time with a close friend who just happened to have an incredible talent behind t...
he camera.
On a day filled with so many emotions, moving parts, and once-in-a-lifetime moments, Ali had this calm, grounding presence that made everything feel effortless. She guided us naturally when we needed direction, yet somehow managed to capture the most beautiful candid moments when we didn’t even realize she was there.
When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image tells a story. She didn’t just photograph our wedding, she captured the magic, the joy, the happy tears, the laughter, and all the tiny in-between moments that made the day uniquely ours. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire celebration from start to
Her eye for light, detail, and emotion is extraordinary. The portraits are stunning, the ceremony shots are breathtaking, and the reception photos are full of life and energy. She perfectly preserved the love we felt and the spirit of everyone who was there.
Eric and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only wildly talented but also warm, professional, and an absolute joy to work with, Ali is the one. We will treasure these photos forever.
Ali photographed my multicultural wedding back in August, and four months later I still find myself swooning over our photos every single day. I truly can’t put into words how happ...
y it makes me to look back on these memories and see how beautifully and thoughtfully they were captured. Every expectation I had set in my head while dreaming of my wedding photos was surpassed by miles when I saw what Ali captured for us.
Beyond being an incredibly talented photographer, Ali was an absolute JOY to have with us throughout our wedding weekend. During a time that can feel overwhelming and stressful as the bride, she was calm, collected, and so genuinely fun to be around. She worked seamlessly alongside our planners to keep us on schedule and ensure we got the photos we wanted, while also making it very clear that I could opt out of any moment if I wanted to stay present and simply be with my people. My bridesmaids literally could not stop talking about how cool she was (and I agree 100%).
She captured us so authentically without ever making the weekend feel like a photoshoot, which I appreciated more than I can say. One of my favorite parts of looking through our gallery is seeing how many incredible photos we have of our guests. Scrolling through the images feels like reliving the entire weekend, not just seeing portraits of my husband and me (even though those are, of course, stunning).
From seeing our guests’outfits, reactions, and candid moments, Ali captured the energy, joy, and emotion of everyone we love, and it truly takes me right back.
From start to finish, our experience with Ali was flawless. She is so communicative, professional, talented, and genuinely kind. I could not recommend her more to anyone planning their wedding. We feel so lucky to have had her as part of such a meaningful weekend and will forever cherish the memories she captured for us. 🤍
We hired Ali for our wedding weekend, including our Gaye Holud, and she made the entire experience feel effortless! She has this rare ability to make you feel at ease while still b...
eing incredibly organized with every shot. Even though she works with many couples, she made us feel truly special from start to finish. The images she delivered were beautiful and captured our families, details, and emotions perfectly. I cannot imagine our wedding memories being in better hands than Ali & Garrett.
We first met Ali & Garrett when they photographed another family members’ wedding, and then had the pleasure to see them again for a second family members’ wedding! Naturally it wa...
s an easy choice to consider them for ours, and we were so amazed by the experience our family had when it was our turn! To start, before we even began talking about any photography needs, Ali was super helpful with providing advice on Colorado-based vendors we could consider. She was SO knowledgeable about venues, planners, food vendors, and DJs from her experiences at previous weddings.
When we moved into working with them, Ali sent us a variety of quotes to consider so we could craft and decide upon our photography needs for the big event. She was super flexible to make sure we could accomplish what made sense for our budget. We were also so appreciative that they provide an Adventure Session to get us comfortable in front of the camera, as well as get some fun pre-wedding photos that we could use while planning. Ali was super accommodating with our request to meet in Idaho Springs and hike up to St Mary’s Glacier during our session. We had so much fun with her that afternoon!
Leading up to the wedding, Ali was very organized with planning the day’s photo schedule, determining the groupings of family & wedding party members, as well as collaborating with our videographer. The pre-wedding photos went so smoothly thanks to Ali corralling people into place, and she provided solid direction to make sure the photos would look fantastic. When it came to the wedding & reception, Ali acted like a fly on the wall but a sniper with the camera, and the photos turned out beautifully!! She captured so many great moments with wonderful angles and raw emotion.
My husband and I are could not be more grateful for all of Ali’s help - not just for the photography but for also being a trusted guide throughout the wedding planning process. If you’re looking for wonderful humans who are thoughtful, easy to work with, and know how to run a tight ship while also having fun, look no further. Ali & Garrett are your perfect match for your wedding!
One of the best decisions we made for our intimate wedding was hiring Ali and Garrett Photography. We are not picture people and tend to hide in the back of group pictures when pos...
sible, so we were a little nervous about being the center of all the photos on our wedding day. We worked directly with Ali and she made the entire process extremely comfortable and pain free! Ali is extremely nice and knows exactly how to communicate with couples who aren’t Instagram famous. She also accommodated all our needs and helped capture what was important to us on our special day. We also hired Ali to photograph our engagement session, which included our dog. She knew exactly where to go, what to do and how to work with us. What we thought would be a long and cringey process turned out to be something very special, and we are so thankful for that. Highly recommend Ali for your photography services!
Ali is INCREDIBLE. She’s truly the most skilled, creative, and versatile photographer that I’ve ever met. I proposed to my fiancé after taking her out on a private plane, landing a...
t a regional airport, and walking her out of the plane to a spot that Ali had helped me set up. Ali was able to capture every moment of the experience, which will allow us to remember and cherish those moments forever.
Not only is she a talented photographer, but she’s a kind-hearted and caring individual. When planning out the proposal, she helped me with recommendations, ideas, and setup. It meant the world that I had someone who actually cared and was invested in making sure the day was meaningful. Because of her, the proposal went smoothly and was stress-free. She had such a huge amount of patience when dealing with my indecision and last minute ideas, and I’m just so grateful for her.
In addition to photographing the actual engagement, she also took photos at the surprise engagement party and took official engagement pictures for us the next day. She worked very quickly and was able to get us some edits the day of the proposal so we had something to post on social media. The rest of the edits had a very quick turnaround time.
Ali went above and beyond to make me and my fiancé’s engagement so special. It’s a day that we’ll remember and celebrate forever.
My fiancé and I are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her for any type of engagement or wedding shoot. She travels, she takes fantastic pictures, she has great ideas, and I’m confident that she can make help you make your special day come true.
Ali & Garrett Wedding Photography made our November wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch in Colorado truly unforgettable, and we can’t recommend them enough! What sets them apart is thei...
r dedicated approach to understanding and capturing the essence of our unique celebration.
Ali & Garrett invested significant time in understanding our vision & priorities, ensuring that every moment was documented with a personalized touch. Their attention to detail and ability to capture the emotional subtleties of each moment has given us such an incredible record of our wedding weekend.
Beyond their technical expertise, Ali & Garrett brought a friendly and approachable energy to our wedding weekend. Their warm personalities made the potentially awkward photography sessions enjoyable and relaxed, contributing to the overall fun atmosphere. This friendly dynamic extended to our guests, creating a comfortable environment for everyone involved. Their ability to be both so welcome & also so organized with the large family photos (so we could make it to cocktail hour) was a combination that I never expected to find in a photographer.
In summary, Ali & Garrett Wedding Photography exceeded expectations. Their commitment to understanding our vision, coupled with their friendly demeanor, resulted in a stunning collection of images that authentically reflected the joy and love of our wedding weekend. Ali & Garrett's personalized and friendly approach truly elevated the entire wedding experience.
Ali & Garrett were absolutely great! My daughter and her now husband had Ali take some engagement photos as well as an Adventure Session where Ali spent the day with the couple out...
and around in the snow and even hiking up the ski mountain! She is such a good sport! She was able to get some really great photos of them just being themselves.
The wedding pictures were spectacular and they captured the essence of the wedding beautifully! Again, Ali was able to get some really great pictures of the happy couple! THANK YOU!
Imagine feeling like your best friends are taking your wedding photos (even if you’ve only met them a couple times). That is exactly what you get with the dynamic duo that is Ali &...
Garrett. They are not only professional, talented, artistic and creative but also two of the nicest humans you could possibly work with on your wedding day. Working with them was honestly one of our highlights from our wedding weekend. They were there when you needed them, helping direct us to make us feel more comfortable, but also had an incredible way to fade into the background and capture the best candids.
If there is one thing I could recommend, it's hiring Ali & Garrett for your wedding photography and also doing an adventure shoot for your engagement photos to get to know them beforehand. After our adventure session, I already felt great about hiring them and totally comfortable working with them. After seeing our wedding photos I can say without a doubt there is nobody in Colorado who can do what they do while making you feel as comfortable as they do. We would hope to work with them for any milestones or photo-worthy occasions post wedding.
Could not recommend more!!
Ali and Garrett were the first vendor we picked for our wedding and were with us every step of our two year engagement. Ali did a spectacular job capturing real smiles and emotions...
during our adventure session and got the most natural pictures of my husband and I. For our wedding, they both went above and beyond to get special pictures of our family members and each moment of joy from our day. Ali is more than a photographer, and was so supportive throughout all parts of the day, helping put everyone at ease and brought such a wonderful energy to the whole day. Garrett was so mindful of scoping out spots for our late night photos and got some of our favorite shots from the wedding. They are an unstoppable duo and we could not be more grateful to have worked with them!
If I could give them 100 stars, I would. Ali & Garrett were incredible from the jump. From our first introduction call, I felt so comfortable with them! Ali really listened to all ...
of my wants and needs and made me feel like we had been friends for quite some time. They are both incredible people and so easy to get along with! For our engagement session, we went to the mountains and they captured what my Husband and I like doing most: being with our dog in the mountains and having fun. We did some jeeping, paddle boarded, and even jumped in the lake. Ali was so much fun and made it feel so natural! The day of the wedding, they were exactly what every couple wants in their photographers. They had the perfect balance from helping direct us when needed for family photos to letting us just enjoy our wedding day and capturing the natural moments! It was so nice having both Ali & Garrett as she was able to be in my bridal getting ready space and capture those moments, and he was able to be with my husband and all of the guys. It was so nice that no moments were missed! Every single photo came out better than expected. Do yourself a favor and hire Ali & Garret so you are able to relax and know that your photos will be INCREDIBLE.
Ali and Garrett are the best duo in the business. Since the moment we were introduced to them, it felt like we had been friends forever. Their photography style comes across as eff...
ortless and genuine. They both put in extra effort to capture the perfect shot - I even saw Garrett climb onto a rooftop at one point! Our experience with them was amazing, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. Without a doubt, we will be booking Ali and Garrett for all our future photography sessions. Thank you so much, Ali and Garrett, you truly are the best!
Ali and Garrett were such a wonderful part of our wedding and planning process. They made me and my husband feel at ease, which resulted in some truly stunning photos. We were blow...
n away by the final product and it has been so difficult to narrow down my favorite photos because there are so many. They did a beautiful mix of shots of us as a couple and our guests which is so special. And day of they went above and beyond to help our wedding run smoothly, Garrett even helped with my bustle!
What truly sets Ali and Garrett apart is their ability to capture emotion. In both my adventure session photos and my wedding day photos, you can feel the genuine love and laughter come through in their work. They captured our wedding so beautifully and I am beyond grateful.
Choosing Ali & Garrett was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! From the pre-call interview I knew they were the right people to capture our wedding as they made su...
re all of our photo ideas and visions came to life. Their attention to detail was amazing! They made us feel comfortable to capture candid moments and let our personalities shine through the photos! They went above and beyond and we couldn't be more happy with the photos we get to look back on for a lifetime!
So this review is a lot later than I’d hope—better late than never, better never late! 😝— but I couldn’t go without giving this review given how amazing Ali & Garret are.
I cann...
ot say enough amazing things about Ali & Garrett. First, they are both incredibly gifted photographers and were clearly meant to do this work —that is, masterfully capture couples in their natural element and celebrate their love, joy, and life through photography. This is evident in their photography skills and quality of their photos, but also, in HOW they go about cultivating opportunities to celebrate the couple through curating memorable experiences and moments through laughter and play. Second, Ali is the sweetest human and an absolute joy to be around, which is SO important in a very stressful wedding environment.
We originally hired Ali & Garret for our destination wedding in Denver, CO pre-pandemic. We obviously had to reimagine our plans given multiple delays with the pandemic and ended up doing a smaller photoshoot later in AZ. Ali & Garret were so amazing and worked with us every step of the way. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for their flexibility, kindness, and willingness to accommodate our new plans and ensure that we still had a great photoshoot to capture our wedding moments, (which unfortunately was not the case with all of our others vendors).
Finally, Ali is the most amazing soul you will ever meet. She has a heart of gold and truly loves capturing couples and their natural element, which makes the wedding photography process so enjoyable. She was so easy going, but also super organized and rallied all out of family members to ensure we got all the shots we asked for in a timely manner. Our family also absolutely loved working with her and embraced her like one of the crew. I typically hate taking photos and posing, but Alia made the process so enjoyable! I was so worried and super stressed given all the demands leading up to the big day. She made the whole day about my Husband and I, and made sure it was an opportunity for us to reconnect and enjoy each other, especially during our first look and solo parts of the shoot, which I loved! She used fun ice breakers to loosen us up, as well as leveraged cool elements of play, which enhanced our candids and facilitated such joyful moments captured in our photos. This was my favorite part of the shoot and I love that we have more photos outside of standard portraits. We’re so grateful to have many priceless moments our family celebrating and enjoying each other that we can always look back on, thanks to Ali & Garrett
You cannot go wrong with hiring them! I would not think twice about hiring them again for professional photographer needs in the future.
Hiring Ali + Garrett to be our wedding photographers was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only are they both incredibly talented photographers, but t...
hey are two of the kindest people we have ever met. They fit into the day seamlessly and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. To this day, our wedding party, family, and guests continue to tell us how much they loved Ali + Garrett being at our wedding. They are engaging, fun, and present, but never intrusive. Our photos are amazing, and our biggest problem was narrowing them down to fit into an album- there are just too many good ones! The album process was easy thanks to Ali and her above-and-beyond help with putting our vision together, and the Adventure Session was so much fun and such a great way to get to know Ali. We could not recommend these two enough!
Ali + Garrett were so much more than I could have ever expected! Not only were our photos perfect and insanely beautiful, they captured every moment and all of the emotions from th...
e day. They made sure we felt comfortable all day and that all the photos were natural instead of being posed - which I LOVED. Ali + Garrett are not only amazing photographers, but amazing humans and their presence are a genuine reason for my wedding day being perfect.
Ali and Garrett are truly the best. My husband and I got married over a year ago, and we still regularly tell each other "Ali and Garret are so good" whenever we think back on our ...
wedding because we love the way they captured our day-- not only the photos of us, but our whole crew and guests. We wanted photos that would show all the moments, big and small.
Ali did all of the communicating with us and she was always there throughout the planning process. I still remember the first phone call we had with her and appreciated how she was genuinely interested in my husband and my story and who we are as people.
Ali and Garrett are fun, kind, honest, professional, and all around gems of humans, not to mention a wonderful team! They dealt with hiccups in our timeline with grace and understanding. They are fun, kind, honest, professional, and all around gems of humans, not to mention a wonderful team!
I cannot say enough about Ali and Garrett! They went above and beyond as vendors and I honestly consider them friends at this point. Ali especially was so supportive before, on my ...
wedding day and even after. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel supported.
Ali is also incredible at capturing the small, special moments happening at your wedding. Each of her photos have an energy and a story to them, and it makes reminiscing about our wedding that much better. Garrett is also amazing and does a great job of making the guys feel comfortable with getting their photos taken. They're both so much fun and do such great work, and I can't imagine better photographers to capture your big day!
Ali is truly remarkable. My husband and I do NOT do well with posed photos and have struggled with engagement and family photos in the past. We loved that instead of posing us and ...
coming to wedding day with a bunch of ideas, she captured us exactly as we were. The few sneak peeks we've seen have absolutely melted our hearts. She captured moments that we thought were lost but she was always there. She is kind, funny and personable. Beyond capturing our most special day, she felt like family and we felt empowered and comfortable to be exactly ourselves.
I couldn't imagine our wedding day without her. In the midst of some craziness she was always smiling and always checking in on us and that extra dose of love from her is what sets her apart from every other photographer.
If you don't book her for your special events you will be making a huge mistake!!
We hired Ali and Garrett as our wedding photographers and could not be more impressed and elated with their professionalism and skill level that produced the most beautiful memorie...
s captured for us. They are extremely communicative, attentive to their clients’ vision, timely in their work, and just so beautifully talented.
We loved Ali and Garrett’s photography for our wedding so much that we hired them again for our maternity photos. We wanted candid photos to remember our first pregnancy by, and Ali did a perfect job at capturing the spirit of my husband and I authentically and beautifully. The quality and coloring of her photos is spectacular. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome and would recommend her 10/10. She goes above and beyond for her clients to make sure their vision is achieved — I’ve been impressed with her professionalism each time I’ve worked with her, and am always elated with the photos she produces. Worth every penny!!
Ali and Garrett’s work is BEAUTIFUL!!! Not only is their work phenomenal, they are truly great people. They made us feel comfortable and authentic through our whole wedding day. Th...
eir turn around time on getting photos back to us was the icing on the cake! We were so immersed in the day, it was so fun to see the image shortly after the wedding. If you’re wondering if you should book them… the answer is YES!
Ali was absolutely amazing! She was so personable and made me feel beautiful in my own skin. The way she got us some different shots and poses was super inventive. Her personality ...

We cannot recommend this duo enough :) Ali & Garrett fit into our wedding day seamlessly and captured the essence of moments. The photos are natural and authentic — you can feel th...
e emotions of the day through the photos.
Neither my husband nor I enjoy being the center of attention, which means that we were not looking forward to the couple portrait session of our wedding day. Now looking back, it was one of the most special parts of the day — Ali & Garrett worked their magic! They had us laughing and prompted us to share sweet stories with each other. The end result was authentic (and not posed) pictures and a fun memory that we will cherish.
And beyond the actual day, it was such a pleasure to work with Ali throughout the planning process. She was extremely communicative — always prompt in her replies and very clear on timelines, next steps and expectations. She made it easy!
Ali and Garrett were INCREDIBLE! They stepped in just three months before our wedding and made the entire process so fun and easy! Ali was quick to answer any and all questions/con...

Ali and Garrett did a beautiful job photographing our wedding! They were both so laid back and easy to work with. We didn't want the day to feel like a photoshoot, we wanted fun, c...
andid photos and that's what we received. Since we had two photographers everything moved very quickly and we had variety of great options to choose from. Our 'getting ready' photos, detail shots, ceremony photos, couple photos, family photos, night time reception photos... everything looked great. We are so glad to have such beautiful photos to look back on.
Having my picture taken is truly in my top ten list of things I detest the most and I had a GREAT time with this team! Never did anything feel forced or awkward and I was able to t...
horoughly enjoy the day without feeling like I needed to stop and pose for anything. On top of that they're just great people who I would have been delighted to have at my wedding even if they weren't there to take pictures. Lastly, the actual picture they got from our wedding and our adventure session are OUTSTANDING! I can't recommend these two enough. They were the best choice we made for our day and we made some good choices.
THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. Hands down. Ali and Garrett are the real deal. Kind, funny, creative, brilliant photographers, and just lovely people through and through. Lets be real, ...
having your picture taken, especially with all of the pressure and stress of a wedding, can be an absolute nightmare (my husband hates posing for photos and was initially very wary of hiring a photographer) but Ali and Garrett turned what could have been a stressful situation into something that was so effortless and fun. They bring such an amazing energy to everything they do, you can't help but have a good time.
From our adventure session (what a blast) to the wedding, it was an absolute joy to have them around. Ali and Garret went above and beyond both days, making sure that we had everything we needed, providing emotional support, and even acting as an extra set of hands taking on jobs that weren't theirs (so not necessary but beyond appreciated). They somehow managed to corral our families without making anyone feel harried or stressed, and continually checked in with us, making sure that they captured every memory that felt important without keeping us away from our guests for too long. And, icing on the cake, at the end of the night they surprised us with a starlight photo shoot (some of my favorite images from the day). Truly, what dreams are made of.
Re the COVID of it all, we had to pivot and turn our 180 person wedding into a micro ceremony in my parents backyard. We had hired Ali and Garret before all of our plans changed and they were absolutely fantastic and beyond supportive. In addition to being so lovely and empathetic, they helped brainstorm how we could get the photos we wanted safely, always wore their masks, and went above and beyond to prioritize our guests comfort.
We just got our pictures back and are over the moon- they truly captured everything that was remarkable and special about the day, nothing feels posed or stale. Every single photo radiates the love and joy that we felt and I am so grateful that we have. Do yourself a favor and hire these fantastic humans. You won't regret it ❤️
Having a photographer that would capture our wedding was the most important piece to our wedding planning for me and my husband. We wanted to remember this day by looking back on p...
hotos to cherish all the love and memories.
After meeting with Ali we knew we had to hire them for our wedding! Planning our wedding out of state was stressful, but Ali kept us very well informed so we had no stress in regards to our photo planning. We had only been to our venue twice, once when we toured and another when we picked the layout for the reception. Ali helped us plan great locations for our first look and family photos because she is very familiar with the venue we chose.
We did have an adventure shoot with Ali before our wedding. It was such a fun way to celebrate our engagement without having the same posed pictures. For our shoot we had a picnic. The adventure shoot started with us shopping for our picnic items and ended with us playing yard games. It was perfect for us!
Neither my husband or myself love getting our picture taken, so having someone that we felt comfortable around was important to us to not feel awkward!
In our first meeting with Ali we expressed our concerns for our awkwardness in front of cameras. She made sure we knew that we could just be ourselves and the phots would come easily.
On the day of our wedding Ali was with the girls for most of the getting ready period while Garret was with the guys as they got ready. When it was finally time for our first look I was surprised at how calm Shaun (my groom) seemed. He said Garret had made the morning so easy! He knew that all the photos were going to be great and no awkwardness because he felt so comfortable around both of them.
I have a very big/loud family and I was dreading the posed family pictures. Trying to coordinate all 20ish of us with young children was something I knew would be chaotic. We made a list of photo lineups that we wanted captured to help with the chaos which did help a lot! They made sure everyone was ready and even managed to keep most of the exhausted kids smiling through it all!
We also used a photo booth from Ali and garret for our guestbook. Our wedding guest had fun with all the props! My favorite part of it was having digital copies of the all the photo booth pictures from the night.
If you’re on the fence about hiring Ali and Garett let me just tell you a few things that might help with your decision. Our wedding photos are stunning because of Ali and Garret’s work! My parents and in laws look at the pictures almost daily ( so do we). Our photo album is on our entry table at our house so everyone that comes in can see the highlights of our favorite day! Many of my guest and wedding party members still talk about how amazing they were at our wedding! My older sister still comments that she wished she had them for her wedding!
We absolutely could not have had our wedding photographed by anyone else and would choose them again without hesitation!
My husband and I have had a wonderful time working with Ali and Garrett throughout our wedding, from engagement shoot through the final photographs. Ali and Garrett sought to get t...
o know us as a couple, even hosting an outing at a comedy show for current and past couples as a fun date night! Ali did our engagement shoot which included multiple stops in downtown Denver, scooter rides, and a pedal hopper with all our friends. She helped capture a wonderful day for not only my husband and I, but our closest friends. They coordinated with us closely leading up to the wedding and communicated easily with our wedding planner as well. Day of the wedding, they helped us be flexible and find enjoyment in the necessary change of plans to our first look locations due to snow. Taking pictures before the wedding felt natural and fun, and they made sure to get specific shots that we had wanted. They provide the right amount of guidance on what will photograph well, while ensuring we still felt like ourselves. They got amazing photos throughout the ceremony and reception, so much so that I'm having a hard time picking favorites. And the entirely of our photos were available to us after only 2.5 weeks! It was a joy working with them!
Garrett took our engagement photos, and they turned out absolutely incredible! They were better than I ever could have dreamt! Garrett was friendly and made us feel at ease through...
out the shoot! He knew a variety of shots to take to please everyone in our families! Garrett and Ali go beyond the typical experience and truly get to know the couple’s likes and dislikes before the shoot ever takes place! They value their clients and really want to make it more than just an engagement shoot!
We first met Ali at the Wine & Nosh Bridal Show at Spruce Mountain Ranch, our wedding venue. The images instantly caught my eye and stood out in a sea of vendors. Their (she works ...
with Garrett, her sweet hubby) images truly speak for themselves.
But when you work with Ali & Garrett you get SO MUCH MORE than stunning images. You get two new friends to support you on this next chapter. You get two professionals to work with and lean on throughout planning your session or wedding/event. You get to laugh and have fun during what could be a very awkward or stressful time for some. They truly make the entire process so fun and enjoyable, and the beautiful images are the cherry on top.
In addition to the beautiful images, what caught my attention initially was the laid back yet adventurous style that comes through in their photos. So much effortless beauty captured in moments that weren’t perfectly posed and staged. Just people, living their lives, sharing their love, doing what they enjoy.
One of my very favorite parts of working with this loving duo is energy, love, and kindness they bring with them to the profession. I can’t emphasize how natural it feels to work with them behind the lens - you almost forget you are in front of one.
I can’t thank them enough for the moments they’ve captured in my life. I look forward to working with them for years to come!
We were so lucky to come across Ali & Garrett, they were truly the best investment we made in our wedding. My Dad is a professional photographer, therefore pictures were at the ver...
y top of my priority list. From the very beginning, Ali answered all (and I mean ALL) of my questions and made me feel at ease about working with her and Garrett. However, I had to be sure that my now husband felt the same. This was the tricky part as he is very private and was not looking forward to being photographed throughout the day. Immediately after we met in person, he told me that he felt he had known them for a long time and was excited to work with them! It was an instant connection.
Throughout the whole process Ali went above and beyond for us. In order to tell our story she worked to learn about us and our relationship, she wasn't solely focused on the wedding day itself. This truly shines in all of their photos. Another one of the reasons that I was drawn to them was the adventure session. Instead of a typical posed engagement session, we got to do one of our favorite things! We took our dog snowshoeing and had a picnic (bonus - Ali & Garrett love dogs). Ali even threw in a mini adventure session so we could get our save the dates out a bit early.
Leading up to the big day, Ali made sure that everything was taken care of. On the day of the wedding there was really nothing to think about, Ali & Garrett had it all covered! They were so much more than photographers throughout the whole process, but especially that day. From helping with our dog, to bustling my dress, they are truly irreplaceable. We got our photos less than three weeks after the wedding which was the best surprise! We could not be happier with them. It was so much fun reliving the day, seeing the small details and moments that we missed. Our wedding was truly a dream, and we are so thankful that Ali & Garrett captured it so perfectly.
Ali and Garrett are professional, kind, creative, and really talented at capturing all of the shots during an action packed wedding weekend! They shot our wedding this past summer ...
and we will treasure the photographs for a lifetime. They were always on time, ready with a friendly joke to help my husband and I relax a little on the big day, and filled with fresh ideas for ways to get unique and well-lit shots. Thanks Ali and Garrett - so glad we decided to work together.
Although we started with a list of a dozen or more photographers, given to us by our wedding planner, we quickly narrowed it down to Ali & Garrett and one other photographer solely...
based off the photos themselves. We were immediately drawn to the real emotion captured and appreciated that they didn't look like every other doctored wedding photo. After speaking to Ali on the phone, we were sold. Her sweet demeanor, passion, and experience helped us to feel confident from the get go. Although we were tempted to skip the call with another photographer, we proceeded, just for good measure. Needless to say, they couldn't hold a candle.
Throughout the entire process, Ali was extremely communicative and easy to reach. She helped calm our nerves before and during the wedding, talking us through it all. Fast forward to our adventure session - Ali made a special trip to meet us in person in the height of Winter. Her easy-going nature helped my fiance and I to loosen up. Although we originally thought we did not want to do the adventure session, we were very glad we did it, because it helped us to feel more comfortable on the big day.
During the wedding weekend, Ali & Garrett were tireless. We were incredibly impressed by how calm they were and appreciated their willingness to lend a hand whenever necessary (whether handing me lip gloss to touch up, or have a sip of water when my mouth was dry). Furthermore, the turnaround for our photos was much faster than we had anticipated. We were pleasantly surprised to receive them so quickly! Friends and family have all commented on how beautiful and special the photos are.
Ali took the time to go through the photos with us afterwards and is now helping us to make custom photo albums. Ali & Garrett did an incredible job capturing the little and big moments throughout the day. This duo is truly incredible and we couldn't be more happy we chose them.
We were so lucky to be connected to Ali & Garrett through our wedding coordinator - they truly helped bring our wedding vision to life! We specifically wanted photographers who had...
great experience with outdoor weddings & landscape photography, so we could highlight our mountain venue and lovely Colorado surroundings. The light and airiness that Ali & Garrett capture is just stunning, and we have the most wonderful memories of our day thanks to their brilliant work! While they were a stretch for us budget-wise, hands-down we knew we really valued beautiful photos to capture our day forever, so the investment was absolutely worth it to us.
From our first email with Ali to our consultation call, through to our wedding day and post-wedding picture delivery, we could not have been more pleased! We dealt mostly with Ali throughout the planning process, and she was nothing but professional (while fun at the same time!) She took the time to ask lots of questions, get a feel for us (not just the wedding vision, but our story & relationship), she answered honestly about their style & capabilities, and was just all-around a pleasure to talk to. I really appreciated that she asked about sensitive family situations (having divorced parents and the implications of that, this was important to me that she honored the dynamics of our relationship).
We loved our adventure session leading up to the wedding - rather than have a traditional 'engagement' session, we really enjoyed the less traditional outdoor adventure session. We cherish these photos almost as much as our wedding day!
Ali delivered our photos SO quickly following the wedding - they were so well done, I couldn't believe she got them to us so fast!
My only regret is our not getting a package with a formal wedding album. Our budget didn't allow for it, but I'd have loved the beauty and quality this would have given us soon after the wedding (just over a year later, I haven't found the time to make my own album!)
Thank you, Ali & Garrett!!
Ali & Garrett were simply the best photographers for our wedding day. Throughout the entire process, they responded incredibly promptly and emphasized that they were there for us....
Instantly, we felt that they had our backs and they went above and beyond what we expected from our wedding photographers. They felt like friends after the first meeting. Our adventure session was unique and they focused on capturing the simplicity of our relationship. There were no moments of forced photos. On our wedding day, they eased our stresses, bustled my dress(!), and focused on making sure we were comfortable and didn't need a break, food, or water. Their ease throughout the entire day made our wedding day feel seamless. They even went to the gym to capture the morning of photos! Importantly, when our families wanted additional photos or added classic family drama, they responded professionally and calmly and focused on what we had told them we wanted. We were their priority and they surpassed every expectation we could have had! Then a few days later, they quickly turned around our sneak peak photos and they were breathtaking. We are incredibly grateful for Ali & Garrett and cannot rate them higher or thank them enough. Don't hesitate to pick them.
Working with Ali & Garrett was truly a great experience. It is difficult to describe all the ways they go above and beyond to make the day yours and special. From start to finish, ...
everything was as described or even better after we hired them. On our adventure shoot, Ali worked with us to do their first snowboarding shoot on the mountain at Vail. We couldn’t believe all the ways she found unique places to get great photos, including following us down the entire run on the gondola. Before the wedding day, we completely changed our first look and other details. No complaints from them, just professionalism and willingness to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The day of was amazing. Ali & Garrett work perfectly as a team and were always in the background capturing the details. Everything we did was as planned. They made a conscious effort to stick to the schedule as we wished. All of this led to amazing photos that we will cherish for our entire lives. The quality and quantity of photos is awesome. We did not think it would be possible to have so many great moments captured. If you like the look of their work, you will not be disappointed. The more detailed and exact you are with what you want the more they will perfect their work to fit your needs. Highly recommend!
We had Ali and Garrett photograph our wedding 5 years ago. They were amazing. I cherish my photos and have them displayed all over our house. What makes Ali and Garrett so great is...
that they work as a team. So many moments were captured of our wedding day because they could be on more than one place at a time. Our guests had many compliments for their work and their presence on our day.
Bottom line - we believe there is no better choice for a photographer than Ali and Garrett. Picking a photographer was a major stress point for my husband and I. After all, good ...
photos aren’t cheap, and it’s hard to feel like there is any kind of guarantee since once your day is over, there aren’t any do-overs. We interviewed a number of photographers, but when we met Ali & Garrett, we were instantly impressed. Not only did they have a wealth of experience, but we felt like we really connected with them and could openly communicate what we were looking for in our photos. We stopped looking and paid our deposit right after our first meeting.
One of the things they offer is an “adventure session” - a way to capture the less formal and more natural side of the relationship. We struggled to figure out an “adventure” that expressed who we are as a couple, so it was really wonderful to have Ali emphasize that our adventure session didn’t have to conform to any particular type of structure, that we should just have fun with it. We ended up getting some really amazing, unposed photos that we absolutely love. We highly recommend doing an engagement/adventure session, because it’s an opportunity to capture another side of the relationship, and really gives you an idea of how your photographers are going to interact with you and how their photos are going to turn out. We were more than thrilled at the photos from our session, and feel that they were definitely representative of what we ended up getting on our wedding day.
On the day of our wedding, it felt very strange to have Ali & Garrett be such a big part of our day and yet be so invisible. And it was nice to have one photographer pretty much dedicated each of us during the getting-ready time. They ended up being more than just the photographers, taking care of minor little nit-piks (like identifying whether the groomsmen were supposed to be wearing cufflinks or buttons). During our wedding, we sometimes wondered if they were still even there. We almost never saw them (minus when we had to do particular photos, like the family portraits, etc), but they captured so many details of our wedding and so many perfect moments without us even noticing.
The photos were returned to us on schedule (including sneak-peaks so that we could share some with our guests ahead of time), and they turned out better than we could have imagined.
We don’t regret a single thing about hiring Ali and Garrett - they captured every portrait we asked for and every moment we couldn’t have known to ask for. The entire experience with Ali & Garrett was beyond expectations, and if given the opportunity, we’d gladly hire them again!
From the second we met Ali & Garrett they made us feel at ease. We laughed and felt like old friends. Our adventure session was really the icing on the cake. We went out and went r...
ock climbing with them (just like how we did on our first date.) Instead of having photos like everyone else, we have photos we are proud to hang on our walls. That are unique to us, and our relationship.
On the wedding day things could not have been more smooth. They guided us, and prepped us for every part of the day and even gave us little tips that we wouldn't have even thought about (like actually looking at each other instead of our officiant during our ceremony.) We are so grateful for them and their incredible craft.
Ali & Garrett are the best humans ever. We really got to know Ali over the last year of planning, and we couldn't have asked for a better team. These two really have an eye for the...
important moments. We couldn't be happier with our images, and our friendship we've developed with these two. Thank you Ali & Garrett. So much love to you both.
We LOVED Ali and Garrett! My husband and I are both super awkward in front of a camera but Ali and Garrett made it so easy and natural. The Adventure session was one of my favorite...
parts, getting to do an activity made our engagement photos so much more "us", than the traditional posed photos. Our wedding photos are stunning, candid, romantic, just wonderful. Again, made everything seamless and so easy. Love both of them and our photos :)

We couldn't be more grateful for Ali & Garrett. They were like friends to us since the very beginning. They helped us find the best vendors for our day, and we saw them throughout ...
the planning process, whether that be for their client appreciation night or for their wedding bootcamp (a fun work out as a couple.) We really got to know them as a couple, which in turn created trust, and better photos day of. Every part of the day they had handled, they went above and beyond to capture every little detail. They truly were everywhere on the day of. We are eternally grateful for the two of them and the memories they provided for us and our family!
Ali and Garrett are incredible! They want to know you and they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our photos. They blew us away!!! Everyone comments about how “t...
hese must be photo shopped!”
Nope! Ali and Garrett are that good! We love those two!
We chose Ali and Garrett for our wedding photographers for our September 15th wedding in Estes Park and couldn't have been more happy that we chose them! I worked with Ali months b...
efore our wedding and she made sure every detail was covered. Ali is so sweet and kind yet extremely professional. Ali and Garrett made our wedding day so fun and memorable! When my husband and I received our wedding album from Ali and Garrett (very quickly after the wedding), we laughed, cried and couldn't believe how much Ali and Garrett captured behind the scenes. We got to re-live our wedding day just by looking at our pictures and that's exactly how you should feel every time you look back at pictures. They stayed with us the entire day and never seemed rushed or hurried to get the pictures done. We are so, so incredibly thankful that we chose this talented duo. Ali and Garrett thank you!!!
