Salida Colorado Engagement and Wedding Photographer | Katie and Kevin

Salida Colorado Engagement and Wedding Photographer | Katie and Kevin

As a photographer, or simply being a business owner, referrals mean the world. In 2013 we shot Larissa’s senior portraits. Nearly 4.5 years later, her sweet mama “introduced” us to Katie via Facebook. We met with Katie, her mama, and her maid of honor, this fall, and we knew it was just meant to be! The obvious passion for her relationship with Kevin, and the emotions she shared with us over coffee at Starbucks was unmatched. She lit up like a Christmas tree talking about her man! And to be honest, she was equally excitable talking about their pups. We are so excited for this sweet couple and their adventure into marriage. Your wedding next fall is going to be one for the books, and we are honored to be apart of it all. Congratulations, Katie and Kevin!

Love,
Taylor and Mike

Tell us about your first date!

“Our first date was to the Palmer Lake Reservoir. I was 14 and Kevin just turned 15. Shortly after we were walking up he spun me around and gave me a kiss. It was my first kiss.”

How did Kevin propose?

“Kevin had told me we were taking family pictures with his family. It was December 18th and below zero degrees. As we were posing with his family for the pictures, Kevin went to “get his moms phone”. Shortly after I heard violinist playing Cannon in D. I looked up and saw them walking up with my family behind. Kevin then got on his knee and asked me to marry him.”

“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.
