Aaron + Michelle Rasmussen | YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park Colorado Mountain Wedding Photographer

Sometimes you meet couples that you just click with. Aaron and Michelle were one of those couples right off the bat! Our shared love of our dogs, the mountains, and hiking immediately made them a couple we totally clicked with from our first meeting. Being from Washington, Michelle and Aaron moved to Colorado and headed straight to the mountains, being just a few miles from our home in the foothills. We were so excited to hear that their love of the mountains was going to carry into their wedding at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. Even folks from Washington were blown away at the beautiful Rockies during the couples ceremony. Thank you to for being so incredible and having us share your day with you and Apollo!

Love,
Mike and Tay

Details we loved :: Their dog, Apollo, came to their first look dressed to the nines in his bow tie. The blue flower in Michelle’s bouquet was made from her grandfather’s tie, who recently passed. The toast the couple made at their first look while they took some time to be together before the ceremony. The wood slabs at the reception came from Michelle and Aaron’s home in Morrison, Colorado.

-Codey & Taylor

“We knew our photos were going to be something we would treasure forever, but what we didn’t expect to walk away with was an effortless bond turned friendship.

Taylor and Mike are not just invested in capturing the magic of the wedding day, but their heart is in it for the marriage and future that follows.”

-Brett & Mendy

I did not feel rushed or anxious, just simply in the moment—which was most important as this would be a once in a lifetime experience—and believe me, Taylor and Mike made it memorable. Separately they are an absolute delight, and together they make the ultimate team and genuine couple. You can see the true dedication they put into making that day, your day…special! It was an absolute joy to work with this inspirational couple."

"With grace and charm, Taylor and Mike set the tone for our beautiful wedding day!

-Jake & Christina

They did everything we asked and more. Our friends and family keep remarking how great our photographers were. They took so many photos and delivered them in such a fast turnaround."

"Taylor and Mike are professional, friendly, detailed, flexible, committed—exactly the kind of presence you want from photographers on your wedding day! 

-Chris & Kim

On the day, they were so organized and kept things moving at a perfect pace. We never felt rushed yet were able to adhere to our timeline perfectly. They made everyone, including my generally camera-shy husband, feel at ease making for photos with real smiles."

"From start to finish, Taylor and Mike take great care to make sure you are comfortable and have clear and prompt communication. 

-Jake & Haydn

We are so impressed with not only them as people and their amazing work, but also their communication skills throughout the entire planning process."

"Taylor and Mike have a great ability to take photographs in places no ordinary person would ever think of, and, while still focusing on you, they are also able to capture the beautiful scenery.

-Adam & Sydney

Though we had never met, it was as though we were life-long friends and it was immediately apparent we wanted to work with them. They are so pleasant, personable, and go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. We were so worried the photo process would be weird and awkward, but they made it one of the most fun aspects of the whole day. To top it all off, the photos are simply gorgeous!"

“We gave them a call and they were the first, and only, photographers we spoke with.
