Paul Adams Media is a wedding photography company based in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. He also provides referrals to other wedding vendors.
Salutations! My name is Paul Adams - I'm a professional photographer based in beautiful Denver, Colorado. I've been capturing engagements, elopements, and weddings for over eight years now and enjoy every second of it. I know how wonderfully unique your wedding celebration is, and I take it upon myself to provide you with the most cohesive experience possible. I want you and your partner to feel fully prepared and relaxed and know that you're in good hands - because that is truly when the most authentic moments can be captured.
How Do I Do That?
Preparation is key, and I'm always happy to schedule meetings beforehand (in person if a Denver local or via video call if out-of-state) to make sure we are entirely on the same page and know what to expect from one another on your special day. Got a surprise for your loved one? Let me know; I'll have my camera ready. Is there a special guest at the wedding you want some photos with? Let me know; we'll make it happen. Particular in-law, you're worried might get too rowdy? I also double as security!
I approach weddings with a mix of contemporary and photojournalistic styles. I believe ceremonies and receptions are meant to be spent with those closest to you, where the emotional photographs are captured candidly. The posed photoshoot is where we can get as stylistic as you want. I always enjoy capturing the full group photos with everyone so you can share them with everyone afterward and then focusing primarily on the couple for as long as you'll let me! We will build inspiration based on your liking, and I will provide you with photos that suit you best.
What's Included in Your Package?
I provide various packages, which can include engagement and proposal photo sessions prior to your big day, elopements, and, of course, weddings. With each of these, you have the options to include:
Digital images
Digital keepsakes
Framed wall art
Thank you cards
Save the dates
Albums

We’ve worked with Paul for both our wedding and our engagement, and plan to work with him for all photo needs moving forward.
Every single photo is amazing, like, seriously beautiful.
He is warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable, he has a real talent for capturing beautiful moments and connecting with people so the whole process feels natural.
I can’t tell you enough about how wonderful Paul is. It truly felt like a best childhood friend came to our wedding and took breathtaking photos. I’m not someone who likes to be in front of a camera, but Paul made my husband and I feel (and look) stunning.
Communicating before during and after was incredibly easy.
If you book any vendor for your wedding, make it Paul. We all love him!

damn tear to my eye. You and Nolan will always have a special place in my heart because your engagement shoot was at the beginning of me working in Colorado. Thank you for your trust, and I am honored to have been able to deliver your engagement and wedding photos for you. Hope you both are doing so good and thanks again for such a kind review!

Paul is an absolute gem of a human being, and a stellar photographer to boot!
We wanted to make personalized thank you cards for our wedding registers, and we went with Paul to Eldo for the shoot. We brought our dogs, and did a sunset walk, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Paul made us instantly comfortable (which I believe is imperative for a successful shoot), and we had such a fun time exploring the park. By the end, it really felt like meeting between friends.
The photos are stunning, and our families are already lining up for prints.
We can’t recommend Paul enough, and we hope to work with him again in the future!
Vendor response 01/19/2025
Rebecca! How have we all not hung out yet?? Hoping you and Seth are doing great and that...
your wedding went off without a hitch. Hoping for my wife and I to meet up with you two some time this year, either rock climbing or something else adventurous!
Thanks again for the review!

Oh my gosh Paul!!!! Our photos and experience were AMAZING!! I favorited like every single pic. He did beautiful work, we’re over the moon about how everything turned out - Paul guided us perfectly through the whole experience, we felt very special and important, and I think the whole day was made perfect in a large part because of Paul. And we just couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you for capturing the magic and beauty of our day so perfectly. We’re absolutely ecstatic.

Paul is a man of true integrity! Clearly, his photography is beautiful and captures the emotion and heart of each of his subjects. In addition to that, he's the kind of person you'd actually want in attendance at your special event! I highly recommend booking a consultation call with him so you can see for yourself! He has great ideas for both the creative and logistical sides of wedding photography, which is so important. He even offered tips for creating flow, ease, and money saving opportunities for other aspects of the wedding too!

We hired Paul to be our wedding/elopement photographer. He did a phenomenal job. He was punctual, professional, and very talented. In addition to being personable, he put us at ease and guided us through pose after pose which only added to our excitement. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos. After two short days, he had all of our wedding photos edited and back to us. Cannot say enough great things about Paul. Hire him, and you will be beyond satisfied!!

We got married up in Estes. Paul did an amazing job!! He was professional yet fun to be around at our wedding. It was raining, which brought forth rainbows and the editing he did on our pictures made them look so magical. He truly captured some very special moments with my husband and our families. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding :)

Paul was hired by my (now) fiancé for a surprise engagement and photoshoot, and our experience was so wonderful! Paul and my fiancé planned every detail together, and it resulted in the most beautiful photos of the best day ever! We had a great experience working with Paul, and wouldn’t change a thing! He even got us our photos within a week, which was half the time we were promised.

Paul is a true artist. He is professional and polite and very easy to work with. We felt comfortable and confident, and I am not a confident person. Paul made us feel at ease, and we ended up having a blast!
We shot our engagement photos with him, he worked with us around tricky schedules and trickier weather. I can’t believe how beautiful the photos turned out! Not only are they truly gorgeous photos, but we love looking at them and remembering how special Paul made everything feel.
He will be shooting our wedding next year, and we anticipate he will be our go to photographer for all the truly special moments in our lives.
If you’re on the fence, set up a meeting and talk to him.

Paul is a fantastic photographer. He will make sure to understand what works for you before your big day and will do everything in his control to prepare for it. He is super flexible and accommodating. We loved that he researched Indian weddings, traditions, and expectations well beforehand. Throughout the process, he was very transparent in communication. He is the kind of photographer who would go above and beyond to fulfill your wishes. I would 100% recommend Paul to capture your wedding or any other important occasion!

We met Paul in an extremely short timeline before our wedding, and from start to finish he was everything we could have asked for and more. He communicated clearly, consistently, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Otherwise, Paul is a phenomenal photographer and exceeded every expectation we had possible! All of the pictures we listed we captured and more. Our pictures came out beautifully and it was such a fun time to be captured. I would 10/10 recommend Paul for any photo

From start to finish Paul went above and beyond for my special day. Everyone was able to feel so comfortable around him and it reflects in all of our photos. His eye through the lenses of his cameras are truly an amazing piece of artwork. I would recommend Paul at any moment to anyone who is seeking to have the best day on their wedding!
