Look for what actually matters.
Let’s talk wedding photography—but let’s cut the fluff.
You’ve probably Googled “best wedding photographer in Colorado” or “how to pick a wedding photographer” and landed on a million pages full of vague advice and Pinterest-perfect portfolios.
But here’s the thing no one tells you:
✨ The best wedding photographer is the one who makes you feel seen, calm, and like you can actually breathe on your big day. ✨
At ONYX Fox Studios, we’re not about cheesy poses or controlling your schedule. We’re here to capture the good stuff as it happens—with zero stress and all the hype.
So if you're deep in the wedding planning spiral and wondering what really matters when choosing a photographer, here are the 6 things we tell every couple to look for (and yes, we check all these boxes):
1. They Help You Feel Like Yourself
Your wedding photographer is basically your shadow for the whole day. So you better like their vibe.
You want someone who gets you. Who hypes you up when you need it, cracks jokes with your wedding party, and knows how to blend in when the moment calls for it. You want someone who doesn’t just take beautiful photos—but makes you feel beautiful in them.
📸 At ONYX Fox, we’re down-to-earth humans who happen to be really damn good with a camera. You won’t find us being stiff or weird—we’re here to make the day fun and easy.
2. Candid Photography That Tells the Story
Let’s be real—your wedding is a vibe. It’s not just the big moments, it’s the small ones: the tear your dad wipes away, the laugh you share mid-toast, the chaos of trying to pin the boutonniere.
Great wedding photography captures all of that.
We shoot in a documentary style, following the flow of the day. There’s structure when needed, but our favorite moments? Those are the unplanned ones.
3. Two Photographers = Full Coverage, No Missed Moments
A lot happens on a wedding day—and having two shooters matters.
From getting-ready shots to ceremony coverage from multiple angles, to capturing both of your faces during the first look (because those reactions? Gold.)—you want a team that can cover all the angles.
🖤 With ONYX Fox Studios, you always get two photographers. That’s non-negotiable. No surprise add-ons. Just full coverage from a team who’s got your back.
4. Video Options Without the Overkill
We keep it real: we’re not doing high-end cinematic productions with cranes and movie set stress. But we do create emotional, beautifully edited highlight reels that give you all the feels.
If you want a wedding video that captures the essence of your day—with laughs, music, vows, and happy tears—we’ve got you covered. We also offer high quality drone video and photo coverage. (Airspace local laws do apply and may restrict this for certain venues.)
5. They Know When to Step In—and When to Disappear
Yes, we’ll help organize your family for photos. Yes, we’ll be a tiny bit bossy when wrangling the bridal party. But when the magic’s unfolding? We’ll step back and let it happen.
We don’t just take photos—we protect the vibe.
And because we’ve done this a lot, we naturally help keep your day moving and chill at the same time.
6. They Offer the Luxury Experience—Without the Pretentious Attitude
Look, we know you’ve seen photographers charging $10k for a 6-hour wedding day. We’re not about gatekeeping quality.
At ONYX Fox Studios, we keep our pricing straightforward, with image-inclusive packages so you know what you’re getting. It’s still a luxury experience—but one that actually feels human.
You deserve beautiful, badass wedding images and a team that makes the whole day easier.
