Clients reviews about Aelpha Collective

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 ~ Sean K

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. ~ Jamie B

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! ~ Jordan D

If I could give ten starts I would!!! My husband and I just recently eloped near Silverton in the San Juan Mountains. Hans was absolutely phenomenal, from his energy, personality to his flexibility! He was willing to do anything to get the perfect shot and my gosh, did he ever! He was willing to hop on one of our ATV’s to another location right up the pass to capture some more amazing pictures! I couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our elopement!! Added just a small fraction of the work he did for us! ~ Allysia S

I recently had a shoot with Aelpha Collective Photography and it was such a refreshing experience. Hans was so professional and was a great hype man while also giving instruction. It can be very rare to have a photographer actually ask and listen to your creative ideas, but Hans really made it a point to make this shoot a collaboration of both our visions. Highly recommend and would love to work with again. ~ fallon r

These guys do incredible work. I wanted some high quality content of my snowboarding experience and they delivered. They made the experience really fun and they take alot of pride in what they do. If anyone in the Colorado area wants high level content , I recommend them. Thanks for all the great work guys and makimg lifelong memories of this trip. ~ Joe R

Hans was the most professional, fun, communicative, patient, and talented photographer I have ever worked with. His was very accommodating and flexible as he wrangled 13 people into position for pictures. He learned everyone’s name in about 3 minutes and was able to make this a fun event. H the pictures turned out great- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Aelph Collective!! ~ Carrie M

Hans is so very gracious and professional. We were very impressed with his work, which demonstrated his talent for capturing the essence of the bride and groom’s most special day. He was very prompt in all communications and wanted to photograph the wedding exactly as the bride wished. Thank you, Hans. ~ Dorothy B

Hans and Desiree are truly class acts to work with. I planned a proposal shoot with them and I can’t say enough about how helpful they were with the whole process. If you are in the southwest Colorado area, they are a no brainer to book for your next shoot. Thank you guys!! ~ Josh B

The themed photo booths are a HUGE hit at our DMEA corporate events. Hans & Des always work with us to bring the perfect props and entertain attendees. We can't wait to have them back again next year...and the year after! ~ Becky R
