From the Hip Photo

y 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!

ding and From the Hip Photo captured some great memories of our day for us.

of all we enjoyed spending time with them on our special day!

geous, 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.

eigh 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!!

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!

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.

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.

ned out absolutely perfect. Also, everyone on the team is so kind, very fun, and committed to ensuring your day is perfect. We love them!

dding 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!!

ur 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.

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!

so pleased we chose From the Hip!

hotographers 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!

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.

ents 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.

ave 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.

he 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.

ing 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.

t's their genuine interest, enthusiasm, and care that truly sets them apart. We now use From the Hip for all our photo needs and we couldn't be more thrilled with the relationship we've built with their whole team.

. She captured everything from the little detail up to the large landscape of our Arrowhead venue. She has the talent and the eye and made us look good! For our engagement photos, we couldn't come to Colorado since we were living in Miami and crazily enough Danny was coming to Miami for another shoot and carved out some time for our engagement shoot. He was very flexible and pleasant to work with and our photos turned out great! When we showed friends and family our photos, they said it looks like a cover of a bridal magazine and we agree. We couldn't believe how well it all turned out. We are extremely glad we went with From the Hip to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We will have priceless beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

nable. Would recommend them every time!

ide the box and really capture the important moments! The pictures are BEAUTIFUL! From the Hip Photo was very professional and fun to spend the day with. It was important to my Husband and I that we didn't spend all day taking pictures. They did a great job making sure we got all the important shots but being quick and efficient so we could spend more time with our guests at the reception. I give them a VERY high recommendation for the quality of work they do. The pictures are beautiful (and I haven't even received the second round of re-touched images yet). We got married downtown Denver and I wanted to capture a very urban feel and look which was accomplished. i HIGHLY recommend From the Hip Photo. -Kelly -Kelly

at From the Hip was our #1 choice. These people just "get it!". Our photographers were Kristin and Katie, and they knocked it out of the park. We were able to do a most cherished at-home engagement shoot prior to the wedding that left me breathless. Even shots that I could have sworn would be less than flattering were just breathtaking, playful, light and tender. The same applies to our wedding photos. They so captured the essence of our fun day, and were even more excited about our quirky details than we were! Communication with our photographers was astounding throughout the whole process, and both Katie and Kristin were respectful, sweet, professional and creative in every encounter along the way. I cannot say enough good things about From the Hip- book them and you won't be sorry!

nnot get enough of the pictures and my friends and family agree!

roughout the day that were really special to us. Their experience is really evident in the photos they captured without me noticing they were even standing there! I couldn't believe it when I saw a photo of my dad's face the first time he saw me in my dress because I didn't even realize they had walked into the room and were photographing. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great candid, artistic, photography and can't stress the importance of having tangible memories of every moment of our wedding day!

..it included an hour session which I used as a boudoir session, an engagement session which Kristin drove to where we lived, two photographers for the wedding plus a third photographer for a photobooth. Kristin and Nora made the day of photos so easy and fun and they felt like old friends. They helped scope out a location for First Look photos and made that little session a lot of fun and easing pre-ceremony jitters. The photobooth was such an unexpected hit and the photos look so wonderful. It can be hard to just be photogenic but they gave great directions and made it fun and easy on top of great photography. Our favorite aspect of From the Hip is how authentic the photos look...less posed and stiff. They really work their asses off to capture people how they really are.

HE HIP PHOTO also brought creative ideas to the table which allowed us to have those fun/off-beat and unique photos. Most importantly, they really gave us a lot of great proofs to choose from, and they went the distance when it came to editing down our top pictures. We can't recommend them enough. Seriously amazing.

They got some amazing shots and were just a pleasure to be around and work with. I cant say enough good things about working with the crew from at the hip! We highly recommend!!!

oo tight after too much food and dancing. Thank you for capturing EVERY special moment perfectly. We will never use another photographer….I mean it :)

I am VERY detail oriented and was quite tedious in my questions. Nina was gracious, patient, and kind throughout the entire process. I did a boudoir shoot two days before my wedding and my husband LOVED the photos. Our wedding photos were perfect. We had oodles to choose from and they captured all of the "must have" photos we requested plus countless more. Our friends and families love the photos as well. Our wedding album is in the works and I have no doubt that it, too, will be wonderful. I highly recommend From the Hip Photo for ANY type of event that needs to be photographed.

ey provide a lot at an amazing quality.

vescent during the entire process. I cannot begin to explain how important that fact is when the stress of a wedding descends. Simply being able to rely on his energy levels and knowledge during the events was a godsend. Furthermore, Danny and Nina (and the whole From the Hip team, including Katie and Kristin) have maintained excellent communication with us during the entire lead-up to the process, addressing not only our concerns but also adapting to our ever-changing schedule of events seamlessly. Lastly, THE PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL. 'nuf said.

edibly fair and competitive price structures. We received all of our images from our wedding within 6 weeks of our wedding date. It was incredibly difficult choosing which of the original photos for re-touching, as ALL of the images taken that day were incredible. But, it didn't matter because the team at From the Hip allows you to keep ALL of the images they take during your wedding. We certainly will be using their services for all of our photography needs in the future.

k great...definitely hard to do! The two were also very unobtrusive, many people barely noticed they were there. They got all the images I had wanted and were very affordable for their quality of work. The owners/photographers are also gracious and just all-around great people. I would highly recommend From the Hip!

nt it is to have an amazing photographer (or two!) to make sure you are able to relive those memories for years to come. I literally welled up with tears when I was able to see the special moments that were captured. From the Hip went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted out of our wedding photos. We had a lot of obstacles on our wedding day from running really late, to bad weather, and everything in between. Danny & Nina's cool, composed attitude, and go with the flow nature were SO helpful in making sure we got every shot we wanted amidst all the stress and chaos of the day. Funny side note- I ended up not having a ride from the hotel to the wedding venue at the last second, and these guys were there to actually drive me to the venue! Nina even got a gorgeous shot of me from the car that ended up being one of my favorite photos of the day. My husband and I are now expecting our first child, and when I think of maternity pictures, and family photos for years to come, I can't think of anyone else I would want to share our family's moments with than FTH.

ation and flawless communication allowed us to all be on the same page when establishing a "vision" for the images and photography style that we wanted to bring to life. On the day of the wedding, both Danny and Jess were awesome. We had videographers as well and they all worked in tandem so beautifully, helping us to capture our big day in such a graceful manner. Post wedding, we received our picture "proofs" only a few weeks later which was amazing! Nina was an absolute joy to work with as we chose our final selections and came up with editing styles / requests. Again, flawless communication and always willing to go the extra mile for us! We are in the final editing stages and as much as I can't wait to receive our images and custom book, I'll certainly be sad to say goodbye!!! I can promise you that if you choose to work with From the Hip for your wedding, you will be throughly impressed and so thrilled that you did :)! Such a dedicated and dynamic group of individuals - bravo.

great vision, but she was fun to be around and managed to keep our kids involved and interested. By the time we saw her again on our wedding day, it was like an old friends was there to take our photos. And she did an amazing job. Our oldest called her a "ninja" - she seemed to be everywhere all at once, but also managed to be unseen. And, most importantly, we love our photos. More than I can even describe. We will never have professional photos done by anyone else. Love, Love, love!

tail, and sheer talent is unmatched. I am confident we choose the absolute best photography company available and were so pleased with the outcome. Additionally the customer service and dedication cannot be matched. I continue to be impressed with From the Hip's work as well as personal attention given to our details. You can't go wrong with From the Hip Photo.

asant during our wedding. It was so nice working with them. Also, Nina did a great job doing all the behind the scenes work on our photos. Within the first two weeks of our wedding, they shared a "sneak peak" of our wedding photos and they shared the rest of them shortly after this. We were thrilled with the quality of our photos and how fast we received our photos. Danny even gave us Voodoo Doughnuts when we met with him to view our photos. Our guests raved about the quality of the photos. It is so nice to be able to relive our wedding through the spectacular photos that they took. Overall, everyone at From the Hip is so nice and passionate for the work that they do. They are so pleasant to work with and the quality of their work is absolutely phenomenal. We highly highly highly recommend them to anyone!

nything! The photo booth at the reception was a big hit and Danny was awesome with the guests who used the photo booth. I received access to my photo gallery within two weeks of my wedding! And now I have to choose what images I want retouched. All of the photos are beautiful, so it is really hard to choose!

g, and don't like to do too much posing for photos, and they accommodated every idea we had. The preview, the photo booth and the proofs were already able to be viewed 2 weeks after the wedding. In the end we get to pick which photos we want to be re-touched AND we get to possess every single photo taken at our wedding, no watermarks or logos. That is becoming a pretty rare service among wedding photographers! We have friends who have waited months and months, and had to practically fight for the photos they wanted, didn't get to choose their favorites, etc. So they are worth every penny not only for that, but for their creative skills. We have some photos that are simply jaw dropping. Couldn't speak highly enough of Danny and Nina! : )

is process and she was more than great, she was and is incredible. Yes, they are pricey, but when it comes to capturing the details of a once-in-a-lifetime day, you want a team like FTH to be there. The are extremely professional yet cool and flexible with how you can devy up your photography time. We had a two day wedding and we were able to split up the 8 hour photography allotment into two days, truly great service. We received our images from the wedding a few days ago and they are GORGEOUS! I'm so happy with our decision to go with FTH. Thank you Nina.

ofessional. They try to fulfill all your requests and they have some of their own to add in. I'm very pleased with our choice.

on the day of, but were extremely helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. We have already booked them to do family photos this winter and would use them every chance we have!

mazing photos to show for it! I would gladly recommend them to anyone in the Denver area looking for a wedding photorapher!

of it! Our photographs were even more beautiful than what we expected from their website! We loved their candid way of taking pictures-when we look at our photos now, it really reminds us of what our wedding day felt like. They did an excellent job of catching the emotion of the day. (Although they didn't focus on the posed pictures, which everyone appreciated, the few posed shots that they did were also excellent.) We also really appreciated how upfront they were about their pricing, and that we get a disc of all of our images with FULL RIGHTS to them. That means that, if we want to make a scrapbook with our wedding pictures in it ten years down the line, we don't have to worry about contacting our photographer to get permission to reprint the images or get a watermark removed. When we were working on making the plans for the wedding and signing our contract, they were always quick to respond to our emails and phone calls. We are so glad we pick From the Hip!

k from guests and our wedding party. And we haven't even seen the final finished product yet!

realize they were there. We purchased their biggest package, which was more than I planned on spending, but the value was totally worth it. It included engagement photos (15 retouched); 8 hours of wedding photography with two photographers (150 retouched); a photo booth; a photo book; an additional shoot with 15 retouched photos (could be a shoot for trash the dress, pregnancy, baby, family, etc.); and all of the digital images. I didn't want the additional shoot, so they applied the value to an upgrade of the wedding book. We received over 300 engagement images, over 1900 wedding images, and over 400 photo booth images. Nina even brought a third photographer for no additional cost because we had about 270 people at the wedding. I cannot recommend From the Hip highly enough. They are amazing!

fun, and absolutely stunning wedding photos, From the Hip is a vendor you need to check out. They're located in Denver, so if you're local, then you especially want to check them out! Nina captured the feeling of the day and of us perfectly. Our pictures are amazing!

d Nina saved the day when our wedding planner came up short on the actual day. The marriage license was supposed to be on the unity candle table for the ceremony and it wasnt....so Nina discreetly suggested incorporating it into our cake cutting! Genuis. It all went very smoothly and our photos came out very lovely. Would definitely recommend~!

ot of great shots. We are extremely happy and I would definitely recommend them to others.

e out just beautiful.
