Hey there, we’re
The Harpers
Colorado Wedding Photographers
Joe and Kaila, a husband-and-wife photo and video duo based near Boulder, Colorado.
What inspires us most are the real moments—the quiet glances, the laughter, the beautifully unscripted pieces of a wedding day. We sit somewhere between documentary and editorial — drawn to the honesty of real moments and the beauty of thoughtful composition. Our work prioritizes authenticity, but with an eye for artistry that turns fleeting moments into something timeless and deeply felt.
Using a mix of film and digital, we craft imagery that’s timeless yet deeply personal—photographs and films that capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt. Above all, we want you to stay present, soak it all in, and trust that we’ll preserve those memories for you to relive for years to come.
When you book with us, you’re gaining a team that moves as one. We anticipate, adapt, and bring both creativity and calm to your day, making everything feel effortless and true to you.

Outside of weddings, you can usually find us in the mountains. We spend nearly a quarter of each year camping, and our dog Mila comes along on every adventure.
2025 was a big year for us—we made a lifelong dream come true and moved to Colorado.
As true nature lovers, we’re happiest outdoors—whether it’s fishing, trail running, camping, or skiing—and we’re beyond excited to now capture weddings surrounded by the beauty we love most.

We offer both photo and video packages from micro weddings, to full day celebrations.
Whether you’re looking for just photo, just video or both — we work seamlessly together to tell your story.
All of our packages include the two of us as shooters at no extra cost to you. We believe this provides the maximum coverage, ensuring no moment is missed and offering a beautiful mix of perspectives.

Our style is documentary at its core, with a touch of editorial flair. We focus on the real, unscripted moments while also creating artful, elevated portraits that feel timeless. The result is a collection of images and films that look beautiful and polished, yet still feel true to the day as it really unfolded.

Absolutley! We will go wherever your story takes us.
We do not charge a travel fee for anywhere in Colorado.

We know the wait can be a little long winded, so within a few days we like to send a little sneak peek of a handful of images. Typically you can expect within 4-6 weeks after the wedding for the final full image gallery, and 6-8 weeks for video.

Totally normal—and most of our couples feel the same way! We’ll offer gentle prompts to help you move and interact naturally, so you never have to worry about stiff or forced shots. Our goal is to capture authentic moments while still creating images that feel elevated and artful. With just a little guidance, you’ll end up with photos that look effortless, relaxed, and completely you.
It’s always great when couples book an engagement session with us. These are kept light and fun, and just a great way to get to know each other - so when the wedding day comes around we all feel like friends!
