Not only were we thrilled with the quality, number, and range of shots that she took, but we also so appreciated her calm and positive energy throughout the day. Her communication leading up to the wedding was also excellent; Candi is a true professional! I don't know what we would have done without her as there is no way we could have afforded what other photographers charge for weddings. She was a godsend! We would absolutely recommend her for any special event or portrait photography.

He answered all our questions very patiently before the photoshoot. He recommended some beautiful places around aspen for the shoot. He suggested some very good poses and would make sure our dresses/hair/expressions looked fine during the shoot. He is very passionate for his work, he almost fell during the shoot to take a perfect a shot for us. Glad he wasn't hurt much :). He is really patient, calm and composed during the shoot, and made us feel comfortable. The pictures look so real, and we are very happy with them. We give our highest recommendation to Jeff for his great work.

My husband and I were in Ouray for our 15th wedding anniversary and decided to get photos done, since we hadn't had any photos alone together since our wedding. The photos are wonderful, and I'm so thankful we did it. I communicated with Jeff by email prior to coming to town and we narrowed down locations, attire, etc. The entire package was very affordable, nothing like we'd pay for similar photos in California. We're looking forward to coming back to Ouray this summer, this time with our kids in tow, and doing some family photos as well.

My goal is to capture the beauty within each and every one of us. Whether that beauty comes from: a portrait session, candid shots of emotion at an event, or from capturing the game winning point; I have got it covered! For portrait sessions I specialize in creating a fun and comfortable environment for my clients. Emphasis on fun because that is when we truly shine and capture the best photos. In event photography I specialize in capturing the entirety of the event and delivering a large number of photos to represent that event. From emotional speeches to guest interactions, you can feel assured that every aspect of your event will be photographed. There is a certain awe to be captured in sports photography and that is what I aim to capture. Whether that is from family cheering on an athlete, crossing the finish line at a triathlon, or the focus of a pitcher at a baseball game; like my event photography I capture all aspects of a sporting event.

It took 3 months to get my photos back because she was "editing" them, and when I received them merely 5 shots appeared to have barely even been touched with an editing tool or a splash of creativety. I am so dissapointed as these were my wedding photos, a day that I will never relive. She texted (she won't communicate by call) me numerous times telling me the photos were sone and I could stop by the studio however each time I went in she wasn't there or they weren't done and she had a "bingo date" in 30 minutes so she wouldn't have time to finish them. Then when I finally had to force myself to get stern she dropped them off on my porch and then texted me "oops I completely forgot about the second photographers photos"....I can definitely say I learned the meaning of "you get what you pay for"

Chad and Vanessa are down to Earth, kind, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos match exactly how we felt about our day: pure bliss! Preparing for our trip, the Outlovers checked in with us at every step of the way from the moment we reached out to them to the morning of our elopement. They guided us on exactly what to pack and made sure we were prepared for any weather, which came in handy when we unexpectedly encountered chilly winds and light rain. They even brought along items that we would never think of or couldn't logistically bring in a suitcase. They helped to configure the backpack to carry the suit the morning of the elopement and pulled out an umbrella for us to use, in addition to our rain jackets. They even went out of their way to help with an elaborate surprise and preserve our picnic during travel. Chad and Vanessa are more than just photographers. They helped us plan our trip and provided advice on where to visit and what to do, even when we weren't with them. They were our expert hiking guides, leading us on our drive up the mountain and through the dark with our headlamps on to our sunrise ceremony spot. Even as we raced to catch sunrise, they helped keep the mood light and made sure we never lost sight of the reason for the day. They have such an obvious passion for the outdoors and that helped us appreciate the experience that much more. We couldn't have chosen a better pair than Chad and Vanessa to accompany us on our special day!

*Honest, Punctual, COMMITTED services*…read more Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Vanessa and Chad, The Outlovers. In April, we decided to leave New Jersey and elope in the west due to Covid. Since we were no longer able to have that 'traditional wedding' we did something we never were able to dream of - get married in a national park. After days of research I found the Outlovers and their services. Initially, I was quite skeptical because I was allowing strangers out west to pull off my dream wedding without ever meeting them. However, they overdelivered! The Outlovers encouraged zoom meetings instead of calls so we can have that personal connection. They have a wonderful wedding guide with a questionnaire so it helps them plan our vision perfectly. I would randomly text Vanessa day and night pictures of charcuterie and cakes and she would get in touch with vendors for me. Vanessa also encouraged me to send all my wedding materials directly to her home so she can organize and deliver them safely to me on my wedding day. It felt like she was my personal assistant / therapist for 2 months! As for the location, they suggested a few places with full description of the surroundings. Chad even went to the location a few times and sent us videos so we could 'feel' this was the right place for us. The location was NOT easy to get to and very remote, he was so committed. On top of all of this they invited us out for lunch to meet a couple days prior to the wedding. Instantly, we connected with their down to earth personalities. They had quite the experience of spontaneity and it really help calm our nerves. I think this worked out so well because Vanessa shared with us that she had never attended a 'traditional wedding'. Her take on things were SO refreshing and really put me at ease. There were no rules, there was no pressure, it was just us and free spirit flowing around us. I never thought a couple of strangers would sleep in their car the night before ( due to unfortunate weather circumstances!) to show up to my room at 130am, hike and drive in the desert at 3am, to marry us at sunrise. The commitment and sacrifices theoutlovers made for us were huge. And lastly, our photos captured all the love that was shared from our wedding day. Honestly, without these photos we would have nothing to share with our family at home. Chad was able to hit all the right moments at the right time. So much candid love. He also provided breathtaking landscapes of our surroundings so we can show our loved ones our venue. Chad is a talented artist and creates exquisite work. We have zero regrets choosing The Outlovers. We will cherish our wedding experience forever because of them :)
