Customer's reviews
When we decided to elope, we knew we really only needed one thing and that was an amazing photographer. Hans and Desiree were so much more than we ever dreamed. Not only were they super communicative and professional but the photos they captured were so much more than we could have asked. They were also so flexible with our elopement date because of a snow storm that blew in and were so amazing recommending locations for vow exchange and photos with our pups. Five stars is not enough to show our gratitude for the amazing memories we will have for a lifetime. Highly recommend them for any pictures you may need.

Five stars. Hans was excellent and professional. Exactly what me and my wife were looking for on our elopement in Telluride. He drove out to meet us from Durango, and we set a time that worked for both of us. After our wedding it was nice to have someone like Hans to get professional photos where we just had to show up and he did the rest. He was patient and didn’t make us feel rushed or uncomfortable, he had done it before so he knew all the shots we needed in Telluride, and we were able to suggest a few that we wanted as well. The price was very reasonable compared to others and felt like a no brainer. After it was done he edited the photos perfectly and sent them over. If I needed pictures done again I would go through him. I recommend him. We love our pictures. Thank you

Hans was fantastic, he really became a key part of planning and executing the perfect proposal, as well as delivering top-notch photos very quickly.
From the start, he was 100% on-board and excited to be involved, and worked with my numerous changes to our plan and location within Ouray/Telluride. Great communication is something important when the proposal is a surprise, and despite being in the mountains with limited cell reception day-of, he worked diligently to make it happen. Couldn't be happier with the experience and results, highly reccomend Hans and Aelpha!
