My husband and I loved our experience with the Sound Originals team. We purchased the photographyvideography Rose package and thought it was a great deal. Kevin (our photographer) and Ben (our videographer) were amazing and so on top of making sure they got all the shots.  We absolutely LOVED the photos. Kevin was able to capture beautiful candid moments and was great at directing us for the couple and family photos.

If I could give above a 5 star review, I would. Kelyn, with Timeless Video, brought the energy you want on your wedding day. We felt so supported and comfortable having her be a part of our day. Hiring Timeless and having Kelyn was hands down one of the best decisions we made on our wedding day. From our very first conversation, she was very warm and professional. On the day itself, she felt more like friends than a vendor. Ultimate hype person and made sure every special moment was captured beautifully. The final video blew us away. The way they pieced together the emotions, laughter, tears and every little in between moment was honestly magical. You always hope you can relive your wedding day with footage and we sure did! Our family and friends haven't stopped raving about how incredible Kelyn was and how our footage turned out--also how much of a BLAST she had during Greek dancing!

Lauren with MyStache was THE BEST decision we made for our wedding photos! My fiancé and I had just moved to the PNW and had a vision for what we wanted, but didn’t know where we wanted to take pictures. She came up with a full day itinerary for us that included all of the locations that I wanted! She couldn’t have picked more perfect spots. She did all of the research and everything was perfect! Her sister even tagged along and helped throughout the day and even took behind the scenes videos and pictures for us! My husband doesn’t love having pictures taken and was so nervous, but Lauren made him feel so comfortable and it felt so natural while taking the photos, AND they came out amazing! We get compliments by people constantly for how beautiful our pictures are. We have them hung up all over our house and they make us so happy! I’m so glad we entrusted Lauren for our wedding photos!

Tomi Photopositive 
Rating: 5.0 (68 reviews)
Denver, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

Covenant Pictures didn’t just document our wedding—they elevated the whole experience. From our first email exchange, they treated me with warmth, respect, and genuine enthusiasm for our story. I remember getting their first “two weeks to go” email and feeling like everything was falling into place thanks to them. They helped build our photography timeline and even suggested lighting tips for our venue, which made a huge difference in our portraits. On the wedding day, they were present yet never overwhelming. They knew exactly when to give direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. I loved how they reminded me throughout the day to pause, breathe, and just be. That intentional presence helped me stay grounded and enjoy every second. Guests were raving about how fun and sweet the photographers were. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, we got our complete gallery while we were still on our honeymoon in Santorini! The turnaround was lightning-fast, and the quality was breathtaking. I’ll cherish these photos for life. Covenant Pictures is a dream team.

I hired Holly to photograph my husband and me for my 50th birthday, and she did an amazing job. A couple of years later, we hired her again to photograph us with our beloved dog for a living healthy and lifestyle series we were working on. The photos turned out beautifully.

I would give Scarlet Oak Studio 10 stars if I could. They did my sister’s wedding in 2017 and I knew I wanted them for my wedding. Aaron, Lizzy, and the team were so much fun to work with and the videos/photos are stunning. I continually got compliments from family and guests about how professional, knowledgeable, and supportive the Scarlet Oak team was on my wedding day. I had dreamed of my wedding day for 25 years, Scarlet Oak Studio has given me the gift of preserving those memories on film.

First and foremost, congratulations! This is an exciting time! Before I begin with all the details, I would like to do away with the formalities and keep it light. Technically speaking, I’m a photographer, but honestly, since establishing my business in 2014, I would consider myself a teammate through this process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know couples, their families, their stories, and at the end of the day, becoming a good friend. If this vibes with you, we are off to a good start :) Answering questions, transparency in communication, and prompt responses are important to me and I hope that everything I share resonates.

Justin was amazing to work with from beginning to end. He was responsive to our emails and was quick to set up a virtual meeting so that we could both meet and get to know each other. We could tell he understood our vision from the get go. During our micro wedding photoshoot, he arrived early and did a full scan of the location to make sure we got the most optimal lighting and angle. This was the first time my husband and I ever took photos together so Justin's jokes and guidance really helped us. He made us feel so comfortable during the photoshoot which showed in the final results; we have so many candid photos that we love! I would totally recommend him to anyone that is looking for a hard working and fun photographer!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
