Photo by Kalen Jesse
Hey Lovers
Welcome to the love club! Now, tell me your love story (give me all the juicy details). I want to turn your story into a million (or maybe more like 600) photos and moments. I want your grandkids and your grandma to hang these photos up and shed one single tear every time they look at them.
What Do I Offer?
Wedding photography (film and digital). Whether you are eloping or having 200 guest - let’s chat about your vision and if we are a good fit! I also offer couples sessions - engagement or anniversary or if you are just wanting to do a creative lifestyle shoot to capture your love. I’m ya girl!
Values
How did I get so lucky? My younger self would die if I told her instead of being a marine biologist you are going to be a wedding photographer lol. On top of all this, I get to shoot most (if not all) weddings with my partner (as in ROMANTIC partner) Taylor - and together we make the dream team. OH and just to make it crystal clear: we celebrate LGBTQIA and polyamorous unities, people of every size, religion, ethnicity, ability or disability, and those who don’t conform to tradition or expectations. We also have a vendor list of others who share the same values. LET’S GO!!!
PS. If you are BIPOC and live in Denver I am offering free headshots. And discounts on other sessions!

Imagine an intimate gathering in a villa surrounded by vineyards, where your closest family and friends can soak up the Tuscan countryside — wine tastings, long dinners under the stars, the kind of slow, intentional celebration that feels more like a retreat than a typical wedding day.
As a Colorado wedding photographer, I’ve had the chance to photograph at The Woodlands in Morrison a few times, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite venues near Denver.
So you’re eloping! First of all—hell yes. Whether it’s just the two of you or a handful of your favorite people, an elopement is all about stripping away the fluff and focusing on what matters most: your connection, your vows, and a celebration that actually feels like you.
One of the most common questions I get as a wedding photographer is: “How many hours of photography do we actually need?” It’s a great question—and the answer depends on your plans, your priorities, and a few logistics. Let’s break it down so you can figure out the perfect amount of coverage without overbooking (or missing anything important).

If you are looking for a photography team who will pay attention to your wants and needs, make you and your partner feel extra special on your big day and who will capture your very personal essence, Kate Ivy Photography is the way to go! We cannot wait to see our full suite and if the previews were any indication of what is yet to come, we know it’s going to blow us away!
I want to be friends with Kate and Taylor. They photographed our wedding last weekend and I felt so taken care of in their hands. I am not a natural in front of the camera and had some general anxiety leading up to the day, but Kate and Taylor made everything so incredibly easy and fun. I didn’t feel an ounce of stress and everything went so smoothly. We’ve already gotten the previews and I cannot wait to see the whole album. I look forward to having Kate and Taylor photograph our milestones in the future!
Finding the right photographer was one of my top priorities for our wedding. I wanted photos that were creative and unique but at the same time weren’t too “try hard.” Kate’s photos are the perfect sweet spot – they are artsy but not overly edited, and she made sure to get some traditional portrait shots for our parents and family. My husband and I are both a little shy and were nervous about being awkward in photos, but Kate and her partner, Taylor, made us feel totally comfortable and provided a lot of direction. The photos turned out stunning - they capture all the emotions from the day and really reflect the cozy, rustic, winter vibe we were going for. Family and friends have said we look like models (which we definitely are not) and that the photos look straight out of a magazine!
Kate is the kindest and most amazing photographer I have ever worked with. I wanted someone who could go with the flow and deliver beautiful, tasteful and unique wedding photos. She did that and more!
I wish I could give Kate 10 stars. She made our elopement so special; she’s so talented and overall just a pleasure to be around. She really knew the area where we had our private ceremony and knew exactly how to use the light and different landscapes for lots of variety.
Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking. They look straight out of a magazine! She perfectly captured the amazing lighting, my beautiful family and friends, and most importantly, the outpouring of love between my husband and I on our big day. I cannot recommend Kate Ivy Photography enough!!!
Hiring Kate as our photographer was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning our wedding! We felt so comfortable with her and she made the whole process so easy and fun. Neither my wife or I are used to being in front of a camera, but Kate made us feel so relaxed and captured our moments so perfectly.
Let me tell you. If you’re looking for an amazing photographer look no further. Kate has been the absolute best photographer we have ever worked with, she’s SO amazing that we drove all the way from central Texas to have our engagement photos done by her. She has the style, vision and professionalism we had been looking for for months! She is the absolutely sweetest and most accommodating to work with and we will definitely be using her for future sessions hands down! You will not be disappointed!
Once my fiancée, now wife, and I decided on a location for our private elopement, we began the search for photographers. We not only wanted someone who was familiar with the area, but also someone who shared the same values as us. I thank Instagram every day for leading me to Kate’s page.
I cannot recommend Kate Ivy enough... You will not be disappointed picking Kate (and her partner, Taylor) to capture your wedding day and all the joyous emotions that come with it!
Kellie and Sarah’s wedding at Juniper Lodge and Treehouses was the kind of day that perfectly balances intention, joy, and a little bit of mountain magic. Nestled among towering trees and sweeping mountain views, Juniper Lodge was the ideal backdrop for a celebration that felt deeply personal, whimsical, and grounded in connection.
