From the Hip Photo

n wedding. Our photographers were especially adept at capturing everyone in the the beautiful environment of Estes Park.

us to keep these memories forever. Highly recommend “From the Hip Photo” ! Besides being a fantastic photograper, Nina is also an accomplished , internationally known artist.

w fabulous son in law John! It was pretty much everyone’s first time to Crested Butte Colorado and this photography pair of Danny and Nina got it right from the beginning! It is a gorgeous setting and they had it right from The start! Quiet, unobtrusive, aware of all the little things! Thank you so much. We highly recommend them for any and all your photography needs. Sara and Michael

riends and they are also married and these photographers take the cake! If I am getting married in an area that they could be my photographers I must say I’d book them. Gorgeous photos, lovely people, amazing night and they captured the memories in a way that takes my breath away.

t directing each of us to get all the shots the bride and groom wanted. The pictures themselves came out absolutely perfect. I am so happy her day was so beautifully captured!

y, our beautiful vortex of a ceremony and our reception with all of our favorite people. We never noticed them which made everything that much more organic. Every single person looked like super models. What an adventure! Thank you so much for capturing one of the best weekends of our life.

ed photographers, many of whom we could have chosen to help us with our wedding photos. But after we saw the pictures from our surprise proposal shoot, we knew for certain that we wanted From the Hip to share our wedding day with us as well. We received our edited pictures back much quicker than we anticipated and we love them all! Currently starred 290 as our favorites which we’ll have to TRY to widdle down to print an album. But it’s just so hard to choose when they’re all great! Thank you so much From the Hip!

tons of photographers, From the Hip Photo is THE BEST. Not only are they fun and spontaneous, they also seem to be everywhere all at once, capturing that fleeting look of pure joy on that one guest’s face that no one else noticed, the perfect photo of the father-daughter dance that makes the whole scene look fairy tale-esque, turning otherwise ‘normal’ moments into works of art with their creative framing. Plus, they listen. They know what you want and they’ll do whatever they can to make it happen. When my sister received her photos after her wedding, she was blown away. I was blown away. From the Hip, run by husband-wife team Danny and Nina, is a magical, uber talented small and mighty company. Book them for your wedding, party, event, have them follow you around with the person you love, and then be prepared to spend hours ogling the photos afterward!

t absolutely perfect.

nd everything from start to finish was perfect. We loved working with them so much that we've used them multiple times since, they're our go-to photographers! I can't recommend them enough.

e wedding day’s beauty and fun energy. Thank you for all these wonderful memories. We are very happy we chose From the Hip. Josie was fantastic!

. The day of, Josie & Lauren were incredible - they got every picture we asked for, they were so attentive to detail, and they were able to capture the most incredible moments. We are beyond thrilled with the way our pictures turned out and I would recommend them to every single bride I know!

tos and they are beautiful! We highly recommend working with this great company!

o us. Josie was amazing! We had so much fun with her throughout our special day and she truly captured everything we wanted. Our photos turned out amazing and so many! So hard to select from so many good ones. The only down side I would say was having to wait 20 business days to get our photos lol:), but I know photos that great and that many take time. Highly recommend to anyone; i'd definitely use again!

r clients. Anytime that we have From The Hip on site with us the day of events, I know that it is going to be a great event day. If you are looking for a fun, creative, and personable group of photographers- Look no further!

love with all the images they capture for any type of event that you hire them for! Coming from a planners perspective, a photographer can make or break the event so make sure you hire the right ones and that would be FROM THE HIP! Don't second guess it.

! So, imagine how much sweeter life got for us when they not only were available to shoot our wedding photos but were incredibly professional and friendly during all our interactions with their staff. Josie was so patient, we cancelled our engagement shoot with her twice, both times the week of the shoot because of weather concerns. She could not have been more understanding and on the day our engagement shoot actually occurred and the weather still was not cooperating she could not have been more flexible when I decided on a new location an hour before the shoot was supposed to start. After spending that day with her, getting ready for the wedding with her in room was like sharing the chaos with one more girlfriend not just the wedding photographer. At the wedding Ashleigh and Josie made an incredible team. It was entertaining to watch them work, you can tell they love what they do. I could hear all the cameras clicking but both girls were like ninjas so their active presence didn’t distract from the ceremony or reception activities. And, they refused to leave our wedding without knowing we had gotten all the planned pictures we wanted, even when I was worried rounding up all of my cousins would take to long at the end of our session time and I wanted them to be able to go home and enjoy some well-deserved rest. Instead, Josie helped hunt down every one of my cousins at my wedding from my big family so we could get a group picture together and it is one of my family’s favorite memories from the day. If you want beautiful pictures from a professional company whose staff is friendly, passionate, and hardworking then choose From The Hip! I can’t wait for my next excuse to work with their team again!

s are one of the most important pieces to get right for your wedding and From the Hip Photo captured some great memories of our day for us.

grace. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product and most of all we enjoyed spending time with them on our special day!

(when they weren't paying attention). The photos turned out gorgeous, and there are too many to choose from that are the type we wanted- candid, happy, capturing the feeling of the day. If you're thinking about whether or not to do an engagement shoot, DO IT. We had so many nerves doing our engagement shoot (and somehow still had beautiful pictures), but the shoot helped us get comfortable with being in front of the camera, and allowed Ashleigh a chance to get to know us before being a part of our wedding day. From the Hip is worth it. Just do it. You'll be happy.

h and communicate with. Our big day was amazing! Thanks to Ashleigh our lead photographer who got it done! All of our request were easily taken care of, and we had such an amazing experience! We are still waiting to see our photos, but I’m positive they will be beautiful with Ashleigh’s artistic view and professionalism! We love you from the hip photo! I’d recommend to anyone who wants a super happy and easy experience with wedding photos!!

ents, but Josie our photographer was flexible and professional. She easily rearranged things so we still got all the photos we wanted, including a first look in front of an amazing Colorado sunset. I would recommend From The Hip to everyone I know!

ure out of a magazine!); and an amazing job on our wedding up in the mountains even though we had some weather complications. I could not have asked for a better photographer. She was very detail oriented, and full of fun ideas to make our photos totally different than every other wedding photo! She went above and beyond what I had expected from my photographer. she even let us use her phone and offered to buy us food while we were stuck on top of the mountain due to lightning. We were a little hesitant since their pricing was higher than what we wanted to spend on our photography, but it was worth every penny and we were super super happy with the outcome! Many of our guests, including both my and my husband's family came up to me after the wedding and told us how good of a job Nina did at the wedding by being a ninja photographer and capturing every moment.

photos. They made us feel comfortable and confident, giving us cues and organizing our wedding party and family quickly and efficiently. They were cognizant of getting our desired shots taken while letting us get the most out of our big day! Everything went so quickly and I wish I could have been in all the places at once—but knowing we’ll have beautiful memories taken by the From The Hip team makes my heart happy.

nt shots and moments, and they nailed them all. Our pictures turned out absolutely perfect. Also, everyone on the team is so kind, very fun, and committed to ensuring your day is perfect. We love them!

nation wedding. Our engagement pictures were amazing and our wedding pictures were beyond anything that we had imagined. They traveled out to Mexico with us and made the process so easy. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them for any future pictures we take as a family. We had Nina as our photographer and she was so great and so easy to work with. When I had questions or information to share, they quickly responded. Overall, our experience with From the Hip was perfect and we highly recommend them!!

a unique situation in that we had our ceremony in Colorado and our reception in NJ. Nina and Danny were able to accommodate our request and we were so happy to have Nina with us for both of our celebrations! The photos were incredible and they were great to work with from start to finish, we couldn't be happier! Highly highly recommend.

results were exactly what we wanted. We had them shoot both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding, highly recommended, and bring along a photo booth to the wedding. (They staff the "booth" with a photographer to make sure every image is picture-perfect. I still see friends posting their pictures!) And how lovely it was to have them there!

MAZING and we have received so many compliments on them. We are so pleased we chose From the Hip!

were nervous about feeling too staged and cheesy. From the Hip photographers makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the lens, and the photos come out amazing every time! We could not be happier, both with our artsy engagement photos taken in our favorite Denver neighborhood and the pure genius of our wedding photos taken in the foothills. If photos are important to you (as they should be), From the Hip is an easy first (and only) choice!

y to work with, familiar with both locations, and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful the entire day. Our photos turned out beautifully, and they are so unique and fun. Working with Danny to set everything up was easy, relaxing, and enjoyable. They were more expensive than other photographers we looked at, but in the end, I am thrilled we spent the extra money to have these incredible memories of our day.

hat we experienced on our wedding day, and now we have those moments captured in time to go back and relive over and over again. If you want memories that will last a life time, memories that will bring a smile to your face every time you see them, then From the Hip Photo is the right choice for you. No one else can compare to the level of integrity they put into their work.

eryone. Did not receive a clear answer, but was told that if I have any questions or photos that we would like to have our session inpsired by, to let them know. I sent about 4 photos, none of which are close to ours. WHICH IS OKAY, a simple "we may not be able to duplicate these" would have been appreciated. They told us to pick the location and they were happy to book it. We found it on their website. We had a session on a Sunday night, and there were about 20-30 other people there. Being we took the inspiration from their website, one could assume the photographers are well aware that there may be a crowd of people. We would have picked a different location. That was inconsiderate. Our photographer was very nice and friendly and even asked us if we wanted any additional shoots we had in mind after our appointment. It did feel a bit rushed. I understand, It's only an hour. However, I would so much rather have only 10 incredible pictures than tons and tons of posed, awkward pictures. The background was so beautiful. I cried for so long when I saw these pictures were not what I had expected. And I've looked on their website, I had sent pictures so they could at least get a feel what I am looking for, it was just not even close. In my opinion. And so I emailed one of the owners and politely stated, we are not interested in downloading or purchasing any of the photos and asked if we could get a refund. I even thanked them for shooting with us! I received a phone call while at work, and a voicemail from the other owner explaining that she received my email and wanted to touch base. I didn't want to touch base. If I wanted to make fuss or give any feedback I would have called. But I emailed. A simple "Unfortunately Victoria we do not give refunds" email back would have been 10000000% fine. I just wanted to move on. With hesitation, I called back and left a voicemail explaining that I was at work, but am on lunch. Owner calls me back asking for feedback and I explained that it felt rushed and we were just not satisfied with the photos, they seemed posed, and only wanted to know if we could get our money back. She says to me "to be frank, I think they came out really beautiful." I told her thank you and that's great you feel that way but at the end of the day they are not her photos. This went BACK AND FORTH for what felt like 10 minutes. She kept telling me it was her favorite shoot and that she thought I looked really beautiful, again, thanked her for the compliments but we did not feel that way. She asked if they could do additional tweaking, don't know why since my complaint were the poses. She offered a new shoot, she would do it herself, at this point BEYOND not interested. Mentioned they couldn't refund, I said that's okay I just wanted to move on. Eventually I got fed up and told her that her continued opinions on our photos felt like she was trying to make me feel guilty or to agree. She insisted that wasn't the case. Throughout the ENTIRE conversation she laughed. I asked her if she thought this was funny, she said it was "awkward." The most unprofessional conversation ever. Most unpleasant experience. So pushy. So rude.

nd the pictures are incredible!

re to her. I was happily a participating passenger rather than the driver for our big day. With most wedding choices she'd present a few options and we would work towards a choice together. Easy peasy. Choosing who would document this day in photographs was an entirely different story. She pointed me to From the Hip's site and let me know she was setting up a meeting. The portfolio was (is) impressive. I had no problem with her choice. The meeting was with Danny. There was a natural click that both put us at ease and made us very eager to work with From the Hip. Each example looked like a model wedding...Except they were real weddings because Danny would talk fondly of the people in each photo they chose to present. Like he was a friend who enjoyed his work. Deal:sealed. Nina photographed our wedding. Nina is great to work with and had all kinds of great ideas. Your wedding is a day when you should feel special. We did that well, and Nina was instrumental in us feeling very VERY cool on top of that. Seriously, rock stars. Nina and Danny have to be the very raddest couple around. In the end all you have are your memories. Nina and Danny captured our day better than we could have ever remembered on our own. They made me want to host more events. And have them all photographed.

am. At any point in the process, they were available for anything from recommending makeup vendors to just generally calming my nerves as a bride. We were so impressed by their balance of professionalism and personality. Absolutely, 100%, don't hesitate to use From the Hip -- DO IT -- you won't be sorry.
