"Absolutely, let's dive into the wonderful experience we had with our photographer! Amazing (yes, that’s her name! 🤩) truly exceeded our expectations. Her photography is nothing short of breathtaking, and she constantly brings innovative ideas to the table. We sought a photographer who could engage with our families while also providing direction when necessary, and Amazing delivered on all fronts. She masterfully balanced keeping things timely with maintaining a fun and energetic atmosphere!
Her pricing packages are incredibly reasonable and come loaded with fantastic extras. One of the highlights for us was our engagement shoot, which made our planning process smoother. As brides, we’re juggling so many expenses and details, so it was a relief to check two things off our list with one package. With Amazing, you really get great value for your investment! It was crucial for us to find a photographer who matched our vibrant, energetic, and sometimes chaotic personalities, and after our first phone call with Amazing, we knew she was the perfect fit. She truly brings her A-game 1000% of the time! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our day and creating incredible memories! We are so happy we met this gem of a human!!"
"Our whole entire process with Amazing was easy and stress free. And as a bride that is something YOU WANT AND NEED. I was a destination bride to Colorado and she still made everything perfect for us. On top of how wonderful she is and how she does her business, she delivers these amazing photos that captured our wedding day so perfectly. I was able to look at each one and relieve the moment. Highly recommend her to anyone who loves to be stress free on your big day"
-Kacey
"Amazing is definitely named correctly! She truly is amazing in all aspects of photography. When we did our engagement photos with her, she was all for the bumpy ride up a snowy mountain (and even was still willing when we had our grandpa pull us out)
When it came to the wedding day, she made sure we got every picture we wanted. She captured the wedding beautifully!
She was easy to work with and maintained great communication. She worked well with all the other vendors and made sure to give credit where it was due.
We got our sneak peeks on time and cannot wait to get our whole album!!
Will always recommend Amazing when people ask for help finding a photographer! She is a great photographer!"
-Natalie
"I have never had so much fun taking photos as I did with Amazing! She took my fiancé and I's engagement pictures this summer and they turned out BEAUTIFUL! We wanted pictures out in the middle of no where and Amazing was willing do it all! She jumped in the 4 wheeler ready to go. I can't wait for her to photograph our wedding in a few months!"
-Hadyn
"I really can't express how kind, thoughtful, and hardworking Amazing is! Not to mention her stunning photography skills! She is so helpful and willing to give of herself and her time to make sure that the task at hand is executed with perfection. She has such a creative flare! If your searching for an AMAZING photographer you've literally found her!!"
-Tiffany
"My husband and I had the pleasure of modeling for Amazing. Our wedding photos 8 years prior had been a disaster. Amazing made it feel like our wedding day all over again. We had unforgettable moments together and will cherish these photos the rest of our lives. Thank you Amazing!"
-Micheala
How far is Marchand Ranch from Colorado Springs?
Marchand Ranch is located in Canon City, Colorado, approximately one hour from Colorado Springs. Its convenient location makes it a fantastic option for local couples while still offering the feeling of a destination wedding surrounded by beautiful Colorado scenery and mountain views.
Do you help create wedding timelines?
Absolutely! One of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process is helping couples create a timeline that allows them to fully enjoy their day while ensuring we have plenty of time for all of the moments that matter most. I work closely with my couples to build a photography-friendly timeline that keeps the day flowing naturally and includes time for portraits, family photos, and those beautiful sunset images Marchand Ranch is known for.
How many images will we receive?
Every wedding is unique, so the number of images delivered varies depending on the length of coverage and the events of the day. My goal is never to limit your memories. I carefully curate and edit all of the best images from your wedding day, delivering a gallery that tells the complete story of your celebration.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are included with many of my wedding collections and are one of the best ways for us to get to know each other before your wedding day. They also help couples feel more comfortable in front of the camera, making wedding day portraits feel easy and natural.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
Colorado weather can be unpredictable, but there's no need to panic. Marchand Ranch offers beautiful indoor and outdoor options, and I always help my couples create backup plans when needed. Some of my favorite wedding photographs have actually been taken during unexpected weather, and together we'll make sure your day remains beautiful no matter what Mother Nature decides to do.
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
Most couples book their wedding photographer anywhere from 8 to 18 months before their wedding date. Popular dates, especially Saturdays during peak wedding season, tend to book quickly. If you've already secured your venue, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible to ensure your date is available.
Do you travel outside of Canon City?
Absolutely! While I love photographing weddings at Marchand Ranch, I photograph weddings, micro weddings, and elopements throughout Colorado. From Colorado Springs and Denver to Breckenridge, Estes Park, Crested Butte, and beyond, I love helping couples celebrate wherever their story takes them.
Do you help with posing?
Yes! Most of my couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera before we meet, and that's completely normal. I provide gentle guidance throughout the day while also allowing space for natural moments to unfold. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and focused on each other so your photographs feel genuine and true to your relationship.
