Thomas is one of those rare wedding photographers who is a photographer first, which is so hard to…read morefind. My husband Andy and I did not want basic wedding pictures - you know what I'm talking about. We wanted photos that would capture both our wedding, which was in Colorado, and the gorgeous scenery, location and bride and groom. (#humblebrag). There is no better photographer to choose for your wedding/whatever event you're having photographed. Thomas is professional, straightforward and super talented. The pictures from our wedding are breathtaking. I highly, highly recommend him.

I found Thomas' photos through another friends post on Facebook. I was looking for someone with an…read moreartistic eye that would capture our wedding in a special way than just your average wedding photographer. It was extremely important to my husband and I that we also connected and got along with the photographer we chose. After all, you are spending your entire wedding day with him! Price point was a little higher than what we wanted to spend, but Thomas exceeded our expectations so it was all completely worth it! From our first sit down, to our engagement photos, to our two day wedding, Thomas was easy to work with and always accommodating. Photos came quickly, and were absolutely stunning. He caught every detail of our special weekend, and so many candid moments. We have so many photos to choose from, and we couldn't be more excited. Thank you Thomas for sharing your creativity and special gift of photography. It was such a pleasure to have you be with us along our crazy wedding journey this past year! **Please ask him about Photo Booth rentals. The company BugBooth that he works with is also incredible!**

Our wedding was over before we knew it, their awesome photos will be with us forever. We definitely recommend them for wedding or any other events!

They had good…read moreideas for pictures and they helped us make a list of all the important shots we wanted and made sure they got them. They were totally professional and nice. They did an excellent job, and had extremely reasonably priced packages. It can be really overwhelming to pick a photographer for your wedding (or other important events), but you can't go wrong with K+B!

Videography for a wedding is often viewed as "optional" rather than "essential." I am definitely in…read morethe camp of "essential." Everyone knows that hiring a good photographer is---and should be---paramount, but I cannot stress the importance of having your special day videographed. Pictures are wonderful, but cannot capture your voice cracking when you say your vows. Pictures don't let you hear the toasts at the reception, or all the other wonderful stuff you didn't see, or might miss because the day is such a blur. But the most important reason to hire a videographer is simply this: People don't live forever. A beloved family member of mine recently passed away, and thanks to Shangri-La Wedding Films, he is captured forever, just as I will remember him on that day--hearing his voice, seeing him laugh, and watching him alive and happy. That is truly priceless. So I urge you to make room in your wedding budget for a videographer. It makes spending all the other money worth it, I promise. There are many packages from which to choose, or simply customize what works best for you, including music that you personally select. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that the final product took a bit longer, and we had to "nudge" them a bit. The film itself will be cherished for years to come. Shangri-La truly did a remarkable job with the time capsule of the best day of my life, Highly recommended!

Shangri-La Wedding Films was one of the best investments from our wedding. If it wasn't for a…read morehiccup, I would give them 5 stars. About a month before our wedding, I learned that Shan was not going to be available to shoot our wedding. Having already signed a contract, that did not sit well with us. Brides know how stressful it can be and the last thing you want is to have to find another vendor. We worked it out and on the day of, Matt and Burt (Shan's fill-in) were friendly and professional. Shan was extremely patient and accomodating with the editing. We are so pleased with the end product. I encourage you to view some of their work and you will see how talented they are. I would also like to note that they are on the more affordable end. =)

But in this case and at this wedding (10/5/13) , the chemistry was excellent! Our client was the top priority and having teamwork with another vendor is sometimes difficult to find. But not with Adam and Grace--they were a dynamic husband-wife team that exuded tons of friendliness, enthusiasm and swiftness....who wouldn't want to work with people like that?! We were in constant communication so that we were able to set each other up for success and deliver flawless jobs relating to our responsibilities. I would definitely work with them again in a heartbeat and I'm already adding them to my personal vendors list ;) Cheers to Adam and Grace for a job well-done and one done above and beyond!

She did a great job setting up posed shots of my friends, bridal party, and family, but also took candids that are interesting, unique, and beautiful. Some of the photos she took of my guests blew me away...she was able to capture special moments I didn't even realize were happening around me. 2. Her communication was prompt, friendly, & professional. She answered all emails within 24 hours, often an hour or 2 after I sent them. She had our contract available to view and sign online. She set up a meeting and sat down with my husband and I and went over in great detail what shots we'd like and how the day would look. 3. She works for herself, not a big photography company. I never had to deal with anyone except her and knew I was giving my money directly to the artist that did the work. 4. Her pricing is very affordable, especially in the wedding world. Payment was online and very easy. 5. I guess this is just my impression, but I feel like I can safely say she is a nice person who cares very much about you and what she does :)

They were so easy to work with, and we received our engagement photos incredibly quickly, which was such a nice surprise.

I showed them my inspiration photos, and they found the most perfect location that gave me exactly what I was looking for! The day-of, they make being infront of the camera so easy!
