Bonnie Photo

Service region: Front Range, Colorado mountains

My fiance and I both dread being in front of a camera, so it stood out that a bride said her engagement session with Bonnie built enough of a bond that the wedding shoot felt easy since neither of them liked being photographed either. Reviews spanning a decade keep calling Bonnie and her associate Mike easy to work with. Mike's bio says he's a former mechanical engineer who leans on off camera lighting for night shots if he ends up shooting instead of Bonnie. They work out of Erie/Boulder county and gravitate toward mountain settings. They also shoot elopements, the starting package comes with two photographers, and turnaround runs about four weeks with sneak peeks inside 24 hours.

Service region: Boulder County + mountain settings

I looked into Bonnie Photo out of Erie for a while and kept coming back to it. Packages start at $3800 and every single one comes with a free engagement session plus album design built in, which is a nice chunk of stuff not itemized separately. She and her partner Mike shoot candid, bold, vibrant work and are explicitly LGBTQ+ and BIPOC inclusive, and a testimonial on their site says Bonnie offered to go get storm pics and the couple ended up with lightning shots everyone gasps at. She's based in Boulder county but seems to work mountain settings too.
