Our wedding photographer, Cassidy, was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, she brought such a calm, positive energy that truly kept me grounded—even during my worst Br...
idezilla moments! She handled everything with so much patience and professionalism, which made the entire day feel so much easier.
Most importantly, the photos are beyond perfect. She captured every emotion, every little moment, and all the magic of the day so beautifully. Looking through them brings us right back to those feelings. We are so grateful to have had someone so talented and kind documenting one of the most important days of our lives. Truly amazing!
Cassidy and Izadora are SO fun to work with. The turn around time on our wedding photos was quick and well communicated and they truly provided such a wonderful experience for us. ...
As someone who is generally camera shy, I did not feel any stress in having my photo taken by them. I adore my photos and would recommend them to anyone and everyone who would listen!
We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Cassidy at Mindful Wedding Photography for our engagement photoshoot in the breathtaking location of Ouray, Colorado. From sta...
rt to finish, our experience with Cassidy was nothing short of outstanding, and we can't recommend her enough!
First and foremost, the location and landscape of Ouray were absolutely stunning. The majestic mountains, serene lakes, and charming trails provided the perfect backdrop for our engagement photos. Cassidy's keen eye for capturing the beauty of the surroundings truly showcased the essence of Ouray and made our pictures look like something out of a fairytale. The natural beauty of the location combined with Cassidy's artistic vision resulted in truly magical photographs that we will cherish forever.
Throughout the entire process, Cassidy's communication and professionalism were top-notch. From the moment we reached out to her, she was prompt and attentive, answering all our questions and addressing any concerns we had. She took the time to understand our vision and personal style, ensuring that our personalities and the love we share as a couple were reflected in every shot. Her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot, allowing us to relax and genuinely enjoy the experience.
One aspect that truly impressed us was Cassidy's dedication to researching and scouting locations beforehand. She went above and beyond to find hidden gems and picturesque spots in Ouray that we never would have discovered on our own. This attention to detail and meticulous planning added an extra layer of uniqueness and authenticity to our photos, as we were able to capture the true essence of the area while highlighting our love for each other and our adorable dog Samuel.
If you are looking for a photographer who not only captures beautiful images but also provides an exceptional experience, Cassidy at Mindful Wedding Photography is the perfect choice. Her talent, professionalism, and dedication to her craft are evident in every aspect of her work. We are immensely grateful for the memories she has captured and will cherish our engagement photos for a lifetime. Thank you, Cassidy, for your incredible work and for making our engagement photoshoot in Ouray an unforgettable experience!
We were recommended to TPG by my cousin who had them photograph her wedding and fell in love. They did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. I do not regret one second of it...
! Our photos came out flawless. We felt so comfortable on our day, and we had so much fun with our photographers! They returned our photos quickly, and everyone can't stop talking about how amazing they came out. I would reuse them over and over again!
IN LOVE with our engagement photos! It was an amazing experience to work with Cassady! we clicked right away during our first conversation and she took several of our calls /questi...
ons leading up to our engagement photos-- (we had two different sessions/locations!) Both experiences were fabulous ! It felt amazing to be "seen" and "understood" by another member of the LGBT community.
We were nervous about the outcome, but honestly feel at peace going into the wedding photos because her creativity and natural style showed "us" and the love was so totally evident in a diverse group of amazing photos. Highly recommended!
Our experience with Cassidy and Thompson Photography was absolutely amazing! From my first conversation with Cassidy it was just a perfect match for us. Her pictures are beautiful ...
and her wisdom and calmness, throughout the whole process helped to make the experience just magical. I highly recommend Cassidy and Thompson Photography for an overall amazing experience.
“The best ever” is an understatement to describe Cassidy and Thompson Photography Group! We are so incredibly happy with our experience with Cassidy from the first time we met her ...
to our wedding day. A total professional with limitless creativity and a great sense of humor. She made everything easy for us and we had a blast with her. The pictures are phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier.
Cassidy and team are fantastic. The best! My husband and I were looking for a photographer who could capture real emotion and not a 1980s version of static wedding images. When we ...
met Cassidy and saw her online portfolio, we knew she would be perfect for us both in craft and personality. Throughout the process, she was very communicative and her team sent emails about how to prep for our wedding photos. We also took our engagement photos with Cassidy and had such a wonderful, fun time. Our wedding day was seamless and both her and her second, Tara, were an absolute joy to have with us. Bottom line, our engagement pictures and preview pics from our wedding are GORGEOUS! They look like something out of a magazine! The raw, realness of our love jumps off of the page. It’s simply stunning and we cannot wait to see our full gallery. If you are looking for a team that is expert at their craft, fun to be around, extremely communicative, gliding you seamlessly through your special day without stress, look no further! Cassidy and her team are the best.
WOW! At this point, I've only gotten my preview but my pictures are exquisite!! My sister is an incredibly talented wedding photographer so relinquishing my photo needs to someo...
ne else was definitely a tall order. I was blown away by Thompson Photography Group! Cassidy Thompson made everything so easy and simple from the moment we first met. Cat and Rob were my day of photographers and are insanely talented but also so fun and definitely added to the joy and excitement of our Wedding Day. This team is truly A+ and I could not recommend them more!!

e me and my husband feel so comfortable. We actually had a blast taking the photos on both occasions which we usually hate! All of our photos are better than our wildest dreams, and are absolutely magazine worthy. All I can say is WOW!! Best vendor that we chose for our wedding by miles! And we had all amazing vendors!!
My wife and I cannot say enough about our wedding photography experience with Thompson Photography. INFINITE GOLD STARS! Cassidy is a highly skilled photographer and communicator....
All emails, phone calls and visits before our wedding day were succinct, detail oriented, and also a blast. The day of our wedding Cassidy and our second photographer Allison NAILED not only every photograph they took - they are STUNNING and like the stuff dreams are made of - but they did so with incredible speed, and a highly choreographed professionalism. As you know, weddings can be quite chaotic. Cassidy and Allison both managed our families and friends, and the unpredictable weather patterns in a manner that can best be described as flawless. Every single person who has laid eyes on our pictures has breathlessly exclaimed that they are magazine worthy. Agreed. After our experience with Thompson Photography, I can absolutely and without a doubt say: these ladies are The Best of The Best. Look no further, and get ready to have a visual diary of your day that will make hearts skip beats.
The best in the business!
Thompson Photography Group was just absolutely perfect. Their fun personalities mixed with their ability to get the perfect shot over and over again was amazing. They were very eas...

My husband and I couldn't recommend Thompson Photography Group more! From the first conversation with Cassidy, we knew Thompson Photography Group would be a perfect fit. I have b...
een admiring wedding photos and videos for years, and knew early on that I liked a more "light and airy" style of photo, with lots of natural light. From the first phone conversation with Cassidy, and looking through the website, I knew we had found what I had always dreamed of. We went up to our venue, Stonewall Estate to have some engagement photos taken, and came upon a pretty serious car accident that had taken place a few moments before we arrived. Needless to say Eric and I were pretty shaken up and not in optimal moods to have our photo taken. Cassidy made us feel at ease and ended up capturing some amazing photos.
On our wedding day, Cassidy and Nicole were integral in having everything run smoothly. They were friendly, professional, and made us both feel "at ease". They both were efficient and made sure we were able to enjoy the day with our family and friends! Post -wedding, we received a substantial sneak peak a day or two after the wedding and couldn't believe how incredible the photos were! Thompson Photography group is the perfect combination of professional, and friendly! Thank you Cassidy and the whole Thompson Photography team for capturing the best day of our lives! We will never forget it : )
So happy with our wedding photos! Keri and Emily were so engaging and fun and really made picture taking such an enjoyable experience. It’s obvious they are both experienced as the...
y moved so efficiently through our photos which enabled us to enjoy our entire wedding. I received so many compliments from my bridal party and our parents how wonderful they were. So much energy and such sweet personalities! We just received our pictures back and they are stunning! Really capture our happiness on that day and such a nice variety of different moments captured. Very happy with our choice! Not to mention, they fell within our budget and their quality of work was amazing!
I absolutely LOVE the work that Thompson Photography Group produces. Cassidy shot my wedding and I've been swooning over the sneak peak ever since. Cassidy was so much fun to work ...

I loved working with Mallory as my photographer from Thompson Photography Group. She made my husband and I feel so at ease during both our engagement shoot and during our wedding. ...

Cassidy and Lorna were a pleasure to work with and ensured that we got the photos we really wanted. Cassidy advocated for us when the venue tried to the location for our first look to make sure we got what we wanted! I appreciate that she made sure that we were happy.
Would highly recommend!

Rachelle's photos were amazing! We encountered a few scheduling issues prior to the big day, but their poise and low-key style made it totally worth it come wedding day. We did not...

Everyone enjoyed the day more because Rachelle and Emily were so professional, fun, and experienced! I would do it all over the same way, and cannot wait for more life events to document with this incredible team!

able and we had a ton of fun. They were able to take our love and capture those feelings forever.... the day was perfect. I have had multiple compliments on the wedding day preview photos and cannot wait to see more. Their style and professionalism is unbelievable! As a bride who grew up in the hometown of their new venue, Stonewall Estate, I feel honored to have had the the opportunity to work with such an amazing photography group!
Our wedding ceremony was supposed to be outdoors but unfortunately it rained and forced us to move indoors for the ceremony and pictures. Having outdoor pictures was important to m...
e and Cassidy was determined to help us get outside for some pictures. Wouldn't you know it, the clouds cleared and we were able to get outside for awhile after the ceremony. The pictures from both indoors and outdoors are amazing! Cassidy was wonderful to work with and beautifully captured the day in exactly the way I had envisioned. Choosing Thompson Photography group was one of the best decisions I made throughout the whole wedding planning process!!
My photos are stunning and the photographers were wonderful to work with! I have had lots of friends ask who did my photos, everyone loved them!
The photos came out fabulous, natural and wonderful, exactly what we wanted.
Cassidy and the Thompson Photography Group were PHENOMENAL for our wedding day!! She listened to all my quirky photo requests and had an incredibly vision and noticed things I didn...

Cassidy was my photographer and she was amazing. Her and her assistant Debbie were on time, and immediately got to work. Throughout the day she was calm and efficient especially si...
nce we were short on time and wanted to take as many pictures before the ceremony as possible. She immediately responded to my emails the weeks before the wedding and helped me figure out logistics. I cannot wait to see the pictures!!
Cassidy did such a great job photographing our wedding. She worked with a small timeframe but still got so many amazing shots!
We hired Thompson photography group for our wedding and engagement photos in May 2016. They did a fantastic job and made sure we had every photo we wanted. We also hired Debi to do...

have a great team who made my wedding planning process a lot less stressful.
Both Rachel and Cassidy were so fun to work with for both days of our weddings. They will make you laugh a lot and feel comfortable in front of a camera. Our family and friends can’t stop talking about how great our photos turned out and needless to say we love them as well. We’re so glad that we get to look back on our special days with such found memories. Thanks Rachel, Cassidy & the Thompson team. Highly Recommend them!

We hired Thompson Photography Group for our wedding in August of 2015 and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. Rachelle is hilarious and has an amazing ability to make...
you feel relaxed and comfortable even if you're super awkward at having your photo taken, like me. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and the experience of doing business with them was not stressful at all, which is helpful when you have 15,000 other things on your mind as a bride. They handled every twist and turn with ease. I've recommended this group several times and will continue to do so in the future. They do great work.
From the first moment that I spoke to Cassidy, I knew that my wife and I were going to work with Thompson Photography Group! Not only are their pictures absolutely stunning, but th...
e entire process was seamless based on how attentive and professional Cassidy and her team were. My wife and I had an absolute BLAST with Cassidy anytime we were with her - from the first meeting, to the engagement session, all the way through the entirety of our wedding day. Cassidy was such a calming presence during the morning of the wedding, knowing exactly what to say and where to place everyone/everything. And Sam was the same with my wife and her bridesmaids! We had the most amazing experience with Thompson Photography Group and would 100% recommend that anyone looking for the BEST photography group choose TPG! We now have the most beautiful pictures to cherish, and made a great friend along the way. Thank you again to Cassidy (and Sam) for making our day perfect, and capturing the special moments that will last forever!!
Cassidy and the entire team at Thompson Photography Group are absolutely INCREDIBLE! From the moment we met with Cassidy, we felt comfortable and confident in her passion for phot...
ography and her amazing eye for a perfect photo. She is truly wonderful to work with - kind, professional, and extremely talented. Cassidy took the time to understand my vision for the wedding and made sure to capture each moment just as I had imagined. Her guidance was invaluable both before and during the wedding. The venue was on the beach and Cassidy was able to capture the most beautiful pictures. My wedding day went by in a flash, but each time that I look through my photos I am immediately reminded of how remarkable my big day was, all thanks to the brilliant work of Thompson Photography Group.
We hired Thompson Photography Group after watching them work at a friend's wedding, and then seeing their beautiful photos. Everything about our interaction with them was spectacu...
lar. Our friend recommended doing the engagement session, saying that it would help us get used to being photographed, and he couldn’t have been more right. We had Cassidy alone for a wonderful shoot at Bear Mountain, and then had her and an assistant for the wedding. They were both experts at getting us (and everyone else) to feel comfortable, and they captured every special moment without ever seeming to intrude on the day. I never felt that I photograph well, and I was worried that our wedding photos would be a series of beautiful photos with awkward-looking me. Not even close – Cassidy has an amazing knack for capturing everyone at their best. After seeing her wonderful shots of us in the engagement session a few weeks before the wedding, I was able to totally relax and let her do her stuff. Both my husband and I agreed after the whole thing was over, going with Thompson Photography Group was the smartest decision we made for the entire wedding. Thanks, Cassidy!
So happy to have worked with Thompson Photography Group for our wedding. Of all the things to splurge on, the photos were so worth it. The quality is unbeatable- everyone has gone ...
on and on about how beautiful they are and I couldn't agree more. They captured so many priceless moments throughout our day and were so kind and helpful throughout it all! By far the best vendor I had for my wedding and would highly recommend to any other bride.
Working with Cassidy at the Thompson Photography Group was a pleasure from start to finish. Of all the vendors we worked with on our wedding day Cassidy was the only one that we h...
ad on 100% complete trust in. She was professional yet laid-back, and she took the most beautiful photos! I can't tell you how many times people have said those look like they're from a magazine. Highly recommend!
I was planning my wedding from across the country and was nervous about booking vendors that I likely would not meet until either just before the wedding day or on the wedding day....
Thompson Photography Group came highly recommended by my sister's friend and once I was in communication with Cassidy, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. She was so easy to talk to and was so attentive & responsive to all my questions or concerns. I knew that if Cassidy was so awesome to interact with that everyone on her team had to be just as wonderful, and I was right!
Debi was the main photographer for our wedding day and I did not get a chance to meet her or interact with her until the morning of my wedding but she arrived at my mom's house and it instantly felt comfortable. It's like she was a part of our family and had known us for years. She captured some truly beautiful moments and had fun with us. Our photos turned out SO beautifully! I am seriously filled with such joy every time I look at our photos!
I am over the moon with the entire staff at TPG, they are all so attentive! I will definitely use them again for any photography needs, with no hesitation!
Thanks for everything Cassidy, Debi, Amanda, & the whole TPG team! :)
How can I even begin about the Thompson Photography Group. My husband and I found their pictures on the Knot. We browsed other vendors but always came back to their page. Their lig...
ht and airy photos scream romance, and this is exactly what we wanted to exude on our special day. Cassidy was our main photographer and she is absolutely incredible!!! She talks you through the entire way and makes sure you always feel comfortable at ease! Her ideas and photos are absolutely breathaking. We knew after seeing her photos, that we didn't want anyone else shooting our special day! She took the photos for engagement photos and our wedding, and they look like they could be in a magazine! They were so fabulous that our photos got published on Borrowed and Blue. Not only was Thompson Photography Group one of our best vendors, they were also my favorite. They made every step and every choice easy and seamless. They always understood my vision and vowed to bring it to life. My photos are stunning and timeless and ones that I will cherish forever. My husband, my family, and I could not be more in love with our photos and we owe it all to Cassidy and her crew. DON'T go any further. Choose them for your special day or occasion!!
Cassidy and her team did an OUTSTANDING job shooting our wedding photos!! They were super professional, fun and also calmed me down several times during my rainy wedding photos!! I...
honestly don't have enough good things to say! I was unable to meet Cassidy before my actual wedding day, but she proved to be extremely responsive and answered all of my silly questions for an ENTIRE YEAR leading up to the wedding!!! Thompson Photography is worth every penny and I cannot wait to see my final photos!!
