Malissa Ahlin Photography

e something you'll look to to relive your big day. I think this is so true, and our photos are absolutely exceptional. Everyone who sees them can't get over the artistry in them - there's something so whimsical and magical that Malissa captures. Also, people wonder how she was able to get some many angles, especially of the ceremony - she's just magical herself is all :) Being a bride is a new adventure with so many moving parts. Malissa sent us a questionnaire way in advance that really helped us examine what shots we wanted, with what family members and friend groups, and this questionnaire in turn also helped us plan the order of events of our wedding! She's photographed so many weddings, and yet is still so patient and an incredible resource. She also sat down with us before the big day to go over everything in detail AND she was able to attend our rehearsal to prepare for the shots and give some advice to the wedding party (look up as you walk down the aisle). It's amazing how someone can be so detailed and efficient and at the same time an incredible artist with such talent. Our guests also commented on how unobtrusive she was in capturing those special moments (first dances, cutting the cake). I've been to weddings where the photographers are kind of in the way with their lighting kits and assistants...the experience you'll get with Malissa with be thoughtful, detailed, organized... and you'll get magnificent results that will truly WOW you. I couldn't be happier with all of our pictures. She captured every single moment we wanted and so, so much more. I know she's based on of Pueblo, but she was able to travel to Breckenridge for a small travel fee to capture our wedding. Stop looking around and go with Malissa - worth more than every penny you'll pay and you won't be disappointed.

ion had been shared with me on my venue's vendor website (Brush Canyon Ranch). We had booked Malissa a year in advance for our wedding. Included in the cost of your wedding package is an engagement shoot. Malissa uses this to get to know your style, personality and likes and dislikes. She has such an eye for nature and we got some amazing photographs near the Pueblo Reservoir. She kept in contact with us every few months leading up to our wedding. She is so professional and started working the minute she arrived the day of. I had people tell me how courteous and out of the way she was during our ceremony. She is so discrete and quite while she takes pictures. After the ceremony she quickly and efficiently took family photos (not an easy task!!!) She is so kind; she even drove my husband and I from our ceremony site to the reception site after taking photos with just the two of us. She stayed until the very end of our reception. Malissa is always thinking of the best way to capture the moment in a creative, artistic, beautiful way. She took a breathtaking photo of us under the stars at the end of the reception after everyone had left. Be prepared to wait patiently to receive your photos, they are worth the wait. She puts forth so much effort, she is a perfectionist. She took 12 memory cards full of photos during our wedding!!! Her photos are minimally processed and are real to life. It has been such a pleasure working with her and getting to know her through the process. If you are getting married in Colorado, there is no better photographer. I am so thankful we made this investment! We will have photos of our wedding day that do our memories of the day justice, thanks to Malissa Ahlin!!!
