“Ivy is THE BEST! She has second shot for me twice, and both times, she went above and beyond! Ivy took initiatives and helped me stay on track of the timeline. Not only does she take amazing photos, she also has a great personality and super fun to be around! If you are looking for a great addition to your team, highly recommend Ivy!”

“Ivy did a fantastic job at our wedding together this fall! She was professional, on-time, and went above and beyond to make the day run smoothly for the couple and me! Her work was clean and she came prepared for some of the trickier lighting situations. I totally trusted her to get the shots both the couple and I requested and her technical knowledge made me feel at ease that her shots of the groomsmen were gonna be great! I would totally recommend her to others and cannot wait to work with her again when I am in the area!

I like to describe my style as true to life and heartfelt. Keeping my camera up to my face constantly, I am searching for those moments that tend to appear soon after a posed shot; the tears, real hugs, pats on the back, the look they give each other, and the special moments that weren’t on the timeline. I’m there, usually hiding behind the aspens like a weirdo, to create a special moment for the couple on their big day.

Here’s the low down:

  • Gear list includes one Canon R Mark II mirrorless body with dual SD slots, Canon RF 85mm 1.2 L, Canon Mount adapter R-EF, one Canon 5d Mark IV camera body with dual slots, 35mm, 85mm, and 70-200mm luxury lenses, four Flashpoint Zoom Li-on R2 TTL Camera Flash Speedlight’s, 65 degree grids, Manfrotto Alu Master Air Cushioned Light Stand Quick Stack 3-Pack (Black, 12'), Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp & Suction Cup with Flash Shoe, Impact Twin Shoe Metal Umbrella/Flash Bracket, Genaray LED-7100T 312 LED Variable-Color On-Camera Light, and a Flashpoint R2 Pro 2.4GHz Transmitter for Canon (XPro-C).

  • I’ve shot 50+ weddings, am comfortable with hanging out with the groom and grooms-people, comfortable with working solo with the bride and brides-babes when getting ready, collecting detail shots including flat lays, tackling the family portraits, and finding interesting angles during ceremony and reception.

  • LGBTQIA+ owned business

  • I charge $75 hourly for second shooting and $150 an hour for associate shooting. I am based out of Salida, CO and am open to traveling anywhere! I prefer to only shoot weddings that require at least 6 hours of coverage, are LGBTQ+, and not catholic/ in a church. If the wedding is near Chaffee County, I will accept inquires under 6 hours.

  • I have completed the Gillespie Master Flash Course! Highly recommend! It’s been so fun expanding my work with night shots and all the low light situations we endure during a wedding.

  • Insured with Full Frame Insurance

  • I pride myself in: showing up early, having bug spray, sunscreen, and plenty of water, making sure the couple knows I am there for them and will check in that they’ve had water, food, and I’ve got an emergency wedding kit just incase, and lastly that I have your back and we have fun working together!

  • I know all the secrets to dealing with hand and shoulder pain!

  • I have no food restrictions and can’t wait to see what their dessert situation is like!
