About This Vendor

A Fresh Approach to Romantic Wedding Imagery

It is really important to find the right person to photograph your wedding, mostly one that you feel comfortable with. I'm down to earth, love to laugh, and am always searching for those photo opportunities that you'll find yourself grinning over 20 years later! WHY ME? My coverage is versatile! No two couples are the same, so my coverage becomes about what is important to you. Are you into bridal portraits that look like they just stepped out of Rocky Mountain Bride? Awesome, then that's what we'll focus on. Do you prefer a documentary style where you and your guests' interactions are the main focus? Great, then I'll shoot with candid intentions. If you find yourself somewhere in the middle, or even somewhere way outside the box, then we'll find the right balance for your taste. I want to deliver the kind of wedding images that are important to you! Guess what? I do HIGHLIGHT FILMS too. I offer the style of film that makes you laugh, gives you goosebumps, and brings tears to your eyes for the pleasantly perfect duration of 3-5 minutes, all for $750. This length makes your wedding highlight film easy to share on social sites, emails, and on your big screen at 10pm when you want an emotional pick me up. The film is the "best-of" reel set to music, showcasing the most fun, most romantic, and most exciting parts of your wedding day.... and I do it as one shooter. I efficiently cover both photo and video, often simultaneously throughout your day. I offer three WEDDING PACKAGES. The first package is 6 hours for $2700 (Elopements and Microweddings will be customized). The last package I aptly named "The Whole Package" (like you!) and offers complete coverage of your whole wedding day, utilizing two photographers, and includes your wedding highlight film. All packages include 3 sets of your wedding images, downloadable in high-resolution and resized for social media sharing platforms. You also have the option to order prints of your photos, create wedding albums and parent albums to keep or give as gifts. Scheduling a phone or video meeting to chat more about your wedding and what style of wedding photos you're interested in, is a great way to help you decide on a photographer. If the air feels right, then let's get you booked and reserve your wedding date! For more info about Blue Canoe Wedding Photography, check out: https://www.bluecanoeweddings.com/pricingandcontact

Blue Canoe Photography Reviews

Reviewed On 10/28/2021 by Jessica L
Selecting a photographer for our wedding in May of 2021 felt like the biggest decision I would make during the wedding planning process. I felt lost among the hundreds of companies to sort through, and finally kept getting drawn to the style an...
d feel of Blue Canoe photography. Well, Cassandra ABSOLUTELY knocked it out of the ballpark. She was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process, communicated promptly, and worked with us to customize the best package. On the wedding day, she was a pro at setting up specific shots as needed, blending into the background when appropriate, but still capturing the perfect candid moments and shots as they appeared. After the wedding, she had all the photos ready for us within ONE week. And these photos were so much more breathtakingly beautiful than we could've imagined. We could not have been happier about choosing Cassandra, and have been recommending her to everyone we know.

I will never forget your wedding in all my days! With only a couple minutes left of your ceremony, it finally decided to rain after threatening us with dark gray skies all afternoon. While most would have been let down, you both remained joyous...
and made the absolute best out of the situation, and for that, we were able to capture some of the most fun rainy ceremony photos! I am also so glad for your adventurous spirit, as we hiked up the wet hillside after sunset to an incredible view that still remains one of my favorite backdrops to date. What an amazing day and what a wonderful couple you are, thank you again for choosing me to be a part of it!

letting us enjoy the moment with each other so it felt genuine. And even though we were up in the mountains in freshly fallen snow with the icy wind in our faces, all we could think about was the moment together and the fun we were having. Afterwards, we got our photos back even faster than expected and they turned out stunning. She was able to really show the love we have for each other while also capturing the beautiful mountain backdrop. Cassandra is a true artist and knows how to bring out the beauty of the people and the surroundings in her photos. She made the entire process feel effortless and we couldn't be more thankful to have had her around.

When last minute searching for a photographer for my daughter's wedding I was overwhelmed by the number of photographers in Denver. (I live on the east coast). I picked Blue Canoe from photos on the site and bio of Cassandra. I will always b...
e ever so thankful that fate directed me to Blue Canoe and Cassandra. Was she a good photographer? Definitely. Was she thoughtful, kind, inventive, professional? Without a doubt. Yet she was more. Due to an accident I could not attend this small Justice of the Peace wedding for my daughter. A stranger, picked from the pages of the internet, stepped in and helped me provide for my daughter and her now husband, a memorable wedding day, with beautiful photos during snow and 4 degree temps, but also by helping me get in place other items to give them. Things I would have done myself as Mother of the Bride. I am so very thankful for selecting Cassandra, my new friend who was a total stranger. Through her beautiful photographs I am able to enjoy my daughter's joy on her wedding day and I'm forever grateful to Cassandra. Hiring Blue Canoe will never be a mistake. I promise.

At my sister's wedding, she was to be rowed by my father towards her aisle in a canoe. She asked me which color canoe she should pick, and I said "The blue one, of course!" She got her "Something Blue" and I got the name to my wedding business! I have been a photographer for more than 10 years and have a Degree in Fine Arts, but after that moment, I truly realized where I needed to be. I LOVE being able to give my couples the kind of photos they have always wanted, and am fortunate that I get to follow my passion for photography in gorgeous Colorado!
