Wedding Investment
by Leah Goetzel Photography
welcome!
I'm so excited and humbled that you're interested in having me document your wedding. I know that choosing a wedding photographer is a big commitment so I'm honored that you're here!
As a Colorado wedding photographer, I believe wedding photography should be fun and authentic. I want your wedding photos to be a snapshot of how your day was. I want you to be able to look back in 20 years and remember your dad's face as he saw you for the first time, I want you to remember your bridesmaid spilling her drink on the dancefloor, I want you to remember that exact moment your fiance looked up at you and realized that y'all were no longer fiance's but about to be partners for life.
I want your wedding photos to not only look gorgeous but capture how your day actually felt. And equally important, I want you to enjoy your wedding day. Your experience is so important to me– from custom timelines, to a complimentary engagement session, to a relaxed and curated wedding day, I promise you'll be in good hands.
If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to send me a message! I know the journey of planning a wedding can be an overwhelming one- that's why I want to do everything in my power to make this process easy, detailed, and fun!
firstly, congratulations on your engagement!
your experience matters
I want you to have gorgeous photos of your wedding.
But what might surprise you, is the most important thing to me is making sure you enjoy your day.
Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot. It's not a time for me to build my portfolio.
It's about you and your partner and celebrating with your closest people.
To me, the experience is everything.

the leah goetzel photography
You will never feel like you booked me and then I vanished. Making sure I'm present and available for any questions or help you need along the way is huge in the experience I provide.
consult calls
It is super important that I get to know all my couples, so I send out a questionnaire after booking and 3 months before wedding day. These help me tailor your day specifically to you and your needs.
questionnaires
All wedding couples receive a complimentary engagement session. These sessions are one of the best ways for us to get to know each other before the wedding day.
free session
Immediately after booking you'll receive an in-depth wedding or elopement guide. This has tons of information from location ideas to sample timelines.
wedding guide
Heard of the horror stories of couples not seeing a single wedding photo for months? Don't worry about that with me! All couples receive a sneak peek in 24 hours and a full 80 image highlight gallery in just 1 week!

photos that actually feel like you
I am passionate about learning more about my couples and how they actually interact. Are you fun and goofy? Romantic and intimate? My posing will reflect your personalities, because the most important thing is that your photos actually look like you.
an experience that is tailored & luxurious
I am in your corner for whatever you need. Resources, timeline creation. On wedding day, I know all your important people by name and ensure you and your partner feel comfortable. You are not just booking a wedding photographer– with me, it's a full experience.
more movement, less awkward posing
I love relaxed and natural couples photos. The best images come from when you're just being yourselves. But don't worry, I'll still give you direction. You're not on your own out there!! I just want you to feel comfortable and at ease.
bringing nature into your images
Most folks choosing a Colorado wedding have a connection to the outdoors, whether you're adventurous folks or just want an epic mountain backdrop– I will bring the environment into your images. Not only does it make for gorgeous photos, but it tells the story of your day.
an expert with difficult lighting
When working with me you can be assured that I will confidently and expertly tackle any and every difficult lighting situation. Whether that's utilizing off-camera lighting in a creative way, or flash for an edgy and editorial look– as always, I've got you covered.
your most important people, captured
The story of your wedding day wouldn't be complete without images of your closest people– your parents seeing you for the first time, your best friend spilling her drink on the dance floor, your grandma holding your hand. Those images are precious and I make sure they are captured with care.
details done differently
I will photograph all those special items that you chose for your wedding day, but especially, I want to bring those details to life. So yes, we'll get some safe shots of your details– but I also want them to emote and not just be placed awkwardly on the ground.
dance floor photos with energy
I THRIVE for a good dancefloor. Let's bring some energy and movement into your reception photos! This isn't your 6th grade dance. I want you to feel like you're back on the dancefloor when you go through your gallery.
Photos to Expect
the fridge photos for mom
The classic, smiling at the camera shot. I call em the "boring facebook prof pic" or the "mom shot". They may not be the most creative or the flashiest, but they are some of the most important shots of the day!
Group pics with your crew
Photos with you and your closest friends. Traditional with a candid twist. We keep these fun and lighthearted.
more movement, less posing
I love relaxed and natural couples photos. The best images come from when you're just being yourselves. Don't worry, I'll still give you direction. You're not on your own out there!! I just want you to feel comfortable and at ease.
04.
Let's capture the essence of y'all, but still give you that "holy sh*t we look gooooood" moment. I'm all about finding the good good light and making y'all feel like rockstars in front of the camera.
capturing the in between
Those intimate moments that will have you thinking, "I didn't even realize you captured that!". You might not remember these tiny, little moments– but they're what make your day feel like your day.
the big 3
The most important shots from the ceremony, I have dubbed, "the big 3". The first look shot, the walking down the aisle shot, and the kiss. I capture these in a safe way, nothing crazy or out of the box. I know how important they are for you and your family.
details done differently
I want to make sure to photograph all those special items that you chose for your wedding day. That special tie, those shoes, grandma's necklace. I want to bring those details to life. So yes, we'll get some safe shots of your details– but I also want them to emote and not just be placed awkwardly on the ground.
receptions photos with energy
This isn't your 6th grade dance, let's bring some energy and movement into your reception photos. I want you to feel like you're back on the dancefloor when you go through your gallery.
capturing how your day felt
Throughout the day I'll be capturing small details that will immediately transport you back to your wedding day– the sunlight filtering through the aspen leaves, you clinking glasses during a wedding toast. They might not be the photos you hang on your wall, but they will tell the story of your day.
This isn't your 6th grade dance, let's bring some energy and movement into your reception photos. I want you to feel like you're back on the dancefloor when you go through your gallery.
true and authentic candids
True and authentic candids are a huge priority to me. The tears, the little looks– these photos will tell the story of your day, your family and your relationship. Completely unposed, unstaged and un-directed.
let's work together!
