We’re so glad we chose Jason. We can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. We’re both pretty awkward people and we always look silly in photos. He was so fun and encouraging. He captured every moment beautifully. We’ve never looked so graceful in our lives. We had our wedding at a campground and he arrived early and worked with us to get pictures of our friends and families in that casual setting in our casual clothes. In these pictures and in the photos of our wedding, he made beautiful use of the scenery. He got to know us as a couple and really understood our vision. He gave detailed directions but the photos still look organic and spontaneous. He was also so kind and accessible through the whole process. We didn’t have a planner and he helped us figure out our wedding itinerary even though that was definitely not his job. He has a ton of wedding experience and it shows.

Tomi Photopositive

Denver, CO
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hello, I'm Tomi, a Wedding Photographer with over 500+ weddings under my belt. I live in Broomfield, Colorado with my amazing wife and my dog Teddy. I capture authentic, creative and emotionally driven wedding moments. My photography style has a mixture of unique candid photos combined with some traditionally posed shots, all edited with the more warm and true-to-life color editing style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Tomi Photopositive for our October 2024 wedding in Genesee Park, Colorado, and got exactly what all of his other perfect reviews rave about; Relentless compassion and positivity, regular and professional communication, timeliness in every regard, and of course an amazing collection of photos we get to cherish for the rest of our lives. We struggled to find an affordable photographer for our simple and small wedding. Some quotes came in exorbitantly high. One even wanted us to sign a contract before we could even schedule a virtual meet & greet to see if we'd all vibe. We found Tomi on Wedding wire, and we loved his portfolio (and his pricing almost seemed too good to be true based on his work), so we reached out. We set up a zoom call, and it was clear right away that Tomi loves what he does, and that he cares about his clients. This initial meeting was everything a nervous couple could hope for, it silenced much of the fear of booking someone we knew very little about. Though not included in the wedding photography package, we booked an engagement session with Tomi. I am so glad we did! It was worth every penny! Aside from great photos themselves, it gave us a good feel for how he works ahead of the wedding. Plus, it was fun, and we got some great shots! Tomi will go out of his way for his clients. One example is that he had never been to our venue (Chief Hosa Lodge - if you're looking for a wedding of 35-65 guests) before, so he went to the venue before the wedding to get a feel for all the best spots. He did this on his own time, and did not charge us extra for it. While we had originally hoped for a sunny day and sunset photos overlooking the mountains, we got snow and fog. Tomi seized the opportunity and turned the "disappointing" weather into one of the more memorable aspects of our day. For any couple who is considering not using a photographer, we strongly caution against it. we originally wanted to go that route or was looking for someone cheap (1000). However, finding Tomi was a blessing from God, and his pricing is more than worth it! His photos are eons better than anything you could hope for from an amateur photographer or cell phone grab. And seeing the final polished photos a couple months after the fact is like getting to experience your special day all over again. If you're still reading this, stop and book him. You will not be disappointed.

From the first email I sent them, I knew Covenant Pictures was the right choice. I had so many questions and very little idea what I was doing, and they were so patient and kind from the beginning. Every two weeks, they checked in with helpful advice, timeline planning tips, and just really thoughtful messages that made me feel calm and cared for. On the wedding day, they showed up early, smiling and prepared, and immediately made me feel at ease. They helped direct everyone so gracefully—never pushy, just encouraging and kind. I looked around during the ceremony and reception and realized they were everywhere, catching every hug, laugh, and tear. My family kept saying how much they loved the photographers and how easy they were to talk to. And somehow, they had our full gallery ready just over a week later. I opened it during our honeymoon and cried all over again. I’ll never forget how they made me feel. I’ll recommend them forever.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

About wedding photographers

How much does a wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photographers early in their careers can cost as little as $1,500. Super experienced photographers, as seen in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair, can cost upwards of $30,000. The range is wide, but, in general, you can expect to spend around 10% of your budget on wedding photography. Rates also vary based on wedding length, the services you want, and location. A photographer based in an area with a lower cost of living, for example, will be less than one based in New York or San Francisco.

How much should we tip our wedding photographer?

A good rule of thumb is to tip 10% of their rate, or at least $100. If they’re bringing second photographers or assistants, an additional $50 to $75 per person is an appropriate and nice gesture.

What questions should we ask wedding photographers?

Aside from logistical questions about packages, pricing, and availability, it’s also important to use your conversation to get a sense of their personality. This person will be with you and your loved ones every step of your wedding day, including, if you want, in the dressing room! It’s very important that you and your partner both feel comfortable with them and their working style. Talk about your venue, how you want to feel when you look at your photos, and which photos from their portfolio you like best.
