We’re Joe and Kaila Harper

Hey there,

Colorado Wedding Photographers

We’re a photographer and videographer duo based in Boulder, Colorado.

There’s something undeniably special about capturing real moments — the quiet ones, the chaotic ones, the ones you didn’t even know were happening. Weddings allow us to bring an editorial eye to deeply personal stories, blending beauty and emotion in a way that feels honest and artful. We use a mix of analogue film and digital cameras to create images that feel not only timeless, but uniquely yours.

Our approach is documentary at its core, while still feeling editorial—we observe, anticipate, and let moments unfold naturally, all while creating beautiful images that look effortless and timeless. But most of all, we’re there to witness and preserve the day as it truly is. We devote ourselves to bringing an authentic, natural, and laid-back approach to each wedding, so you can stay present, soak in the joy, and relive those moments for years to come.

Outside of weddings, you can usually find us in the mountains. We spend nearly a quarter of each year camping, and our dog Mila tags along for every adventure.

2025 was a big year — we made a lifelong dream come true and moved to Colorado.

As true nature lovers, we’re happiest outdoors — whether we’re fishing, trail running, camping, or skiing — and we’re beyond excited to now capture Colorado 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.

  • We like to call it “Documentary” with guidance. We can be as involved as you need us to be for posing help, but we usually opt for “light posing” to acheive a nice mix of semi-posed and candid photos. We love nothing more than letting you enjoy your day as it’s meant to be, without forcing any "staged" moments that aren’t naturally happening. We believe this approach gives your gallery a more genuine, emotionally-driven feel.

  • Absolutley! We will go wherever your story takes us.

    We do not charge a travel fee for anywhere in Colorado.

    Please reach out if your wedding will be outside Colorado, we will work on a small travel fee to tie in with your package. Bring us to you!

  • 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.

  • Don’t worry! We want you to be as stress-free as possible on your wedding day. For most, this can be one of your first times in front of a professional camera.

    We highly reccomend booking a couples session with us prior to the wedding day. These are much more informal, and a great way to meet each other before the wedding day. They are kept light and fun, often a stroll around town or park somewhere.

    We provide gentle prompts to help capture beautiful, playful, and candid photos that you'll love — all while ensuring you feel as comfortable as possible.

  • We shoot on both vintage and modern formats for both photo and video.

    These include Canon, Contax, Rolleiflex, Minolta and more.

    Photo packages include: digital, 35mm & 120 medium format photos.

    Video packages include digital cinema video, and Super 8mm.
