Meet Your Photographers

The way Jillian tells it, the main reason she swiped right on Ethan was because he had a tripod in his photo—and any man willing to carry a tripod up a mountain must really love photography. Even in the early days many of our dates involved brining our cameras along. Soon these dates turned into trips: New York in the rain, Scotland with it’s howling wind, Alaska all bright ice and big sky, Puerto Rico with its powerful oceans, and many a trail right in our home state of Colorado. Somewhere in there we became each other’s favorite foreground—falling deeply and madly in love.

Photography is woven into how we explore, how we connect, and how we see the world—and falling into weddings felt like a natural extension of that. While shooting together, we’ve learned to work as a team. Jillian is the critical eye and the collector of tissues—she’ll fix a stray curl, pin a boutonnière, and absolutely cry during vows. Ethan is the steady one—you’ll forget he’s there until you get the photos and realize he saw everything. We trade cameras, share ideas, and switch between film and digital in a way that feels natural and seamless.

We love weddings because they pull every kind of feeling into one day: the quiet nerves of early morning, the anticipation of the first look, the moment of sheer joy when you see the love of your life down the aisle, and the celebration and warmth of the reception. We make space for all of it. Sometimes that means giving a gentle nudge; sometimes it means stepping back and letting life do its thing.

“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

Meet Jillian

Jillian Started her photography journey in 2010 when she picked up a film camera for the first time. That Pentax K1000 that she first learned all things photography on is still a part of her kit today. Over the years she has dabbled in events, commercial work, portraiture, landscapes and weddings, searching for her niche. When she moved to Colorado in 2021 and met Ethan she began to take her work more seriously, and finally made the jump into pursuing photography as a full time career.

Jillian is known for her bad jokes, “can do” attitude, type-A planning style, and optimism in the face of adversity (wind, we’re talking about wind).
