Contact Lucy Schultz

Great photos come from great moments - so we make sure there are a lot of those! Your images will be modern, candid, and colorful. More importantly, your day will be fun AF and your photos will make you look like you. Whether you want 100 guests or just the two of you, I love to capture the unplanned candid shenanigans just as much as a dreamy portrait combined with the epic views of your location.

ALL couples celebrated. I'm in the LGBTQ+ community and body positive. I'm upbeat all of the time and my images reflect my excitement for everyone who gets to chose each other in every unique way possible. I'll help you into great light so your candid moments are the most beautiful, flattering and natural. Great communication, stunning images, and a supremely fun experience is what I pride myself on. We'll be laughing all day!

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm based in Denver, CO and serve the entire state of Colorado and destinations across the USA and abroad. National Park elopements, Mountain weddings, microweddings, intimate weddings and hiking elopements are common.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I was 7 when I discovered photography and shot my first wedding when I was 16. Wedding photography has been my full time job since 2012, so I've lost count of the couples I've shot.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

My style is romantic and modern, bright colors and dramatic compositions. I want to create photos that push the limits of my imagination - and yours. My posing style is very smushy and the more giggling the better!

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

To see the most up to date pricing, visit https://lucyschultzphotography.com/pricing/
$4000-$6900 is my typical range.

Do you have a studio where we can meet? Do you use Skype?

I love to use zoom or phone calls to meet with clients.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I am almost exclusively self-taught, while taking inspiration from many workshops, tutorials and lighting training. I am inspired by elements from all different styles of photography - especially landscapes - and bring them into your wedding and elopement photography.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I love cats (like, a lot!), camping, birdwatching, maps, national parks, archery, and raspberries.

Lucy did an amazing job with our wedding. She was so professional and personable. She made sure our engagement and wedding photos were everything we dreamed of. Highly recommend! Fun professional and worth every penny!

PATRICK + KAIGE

Where do I start? Not only did I get an amazing engagement and wedding photographer, but I also came out of my wedding with a lifelong friend. Lucy braved a heat wave carrying all her gear up a steep hill during our engagement shoot, to snow/freezing temps/crazy winds during our wedding. The woman can do anything. She makes the process fun and if you think you'll be awkward in front of a camera, she'll make you feel like you're a freaking rockstar. You won't regret hiring her. I promise!

MELISSA + MITCHELL

We met Lucy at my sister in law's wedding in Colorado, and she met Lucy at a family friend's wedding a couple years prior. By the time it came to my wedding, it felt like Lucy was already a friend. She was willing to travel cross country to Vermont for us, and through a pandemic postponement she was nothing but flexible and communicative. She even sent us a care package after our wedding got delayed! We don't know which is more amazing, her actual work or how insanely fun she is and how comfortable she makes everyone feel. Right after our wedding we got some sneak peeks - and we have no words Read More for how amazing they are. She manages to somehow capture moments that you didn't even know were happening. Lucy was not only on time but early, mindful of our timeline, and made us feel at ease. Just book her now for your wedding - do it!!!

I can not recommend Lucy enough. I first met her when I was MOH in my cousins wedding. As part of the wedding party, I was so impressed by Lucy’s ability to get amazing photos without hours of posing. When I got engaged a few years later, I immediately reached out to Lucy, desperately hoping she would have my date available. From day one, Lucy was extremely helpful. She has created an awesome elopement guide with details and ideas for planning an elopement. I referenced it so many times in my planning process. She even provides some prompts to help if you are writing your vows. We had a small Read More laid back ceremony with only our immediate family. It was important to me that the photos captured the events of the day and all the fun little moments and memories, especially since we weren’t hiring a videographer. As I scroll through the photos today, I couldn’t be happier. Not only do we have amazing posed/planned photos at a location near our venue (suggested by Lucy), but the candids are fantastic. On top of Lucy’s extensive knowledge and ability, she is just fun to be around. We had a blast during our first look with Lucy and her top notch assistant. If you are reading this review, seriously just hire Lucy. You will be so glad that you did.

TARA + BILLY

Planning our Rocky Mountain wedding from TX would not have been possible if it weren’t for Lucy. She fit in perfectly with our family with her sparkling personality, kept us all on schedule like a true professional, and blew us away with her quick turnaround. If we could get married again, we would make sure it fit into Lucy’s schedule!

ROCKY + ANNE

Lucy is AMAZING. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, and the absolute best vendor throughout. We were a covid-affected wedding, and Lucy was there with us all through the two years of tears and excitement as we adapted to the environment together. She even sent us a care package when we officially postponed our day, showing the true empathy she has for all her couples.

When we finally got to our July 2021 wedding, Lucy was incredible. She made everyone in the wedding party feel so comfortable and themselves simply by being her fun and goofy self. This made our photos so Read More natural and care-free, capturing the feeling of the day along with the beauty. Seriously, to this day everyone still comes up and says "You're wedding was great, but man your photographer was awesome". Thank you Lucy for capturing our memories to last a life-time!

I almost wish we were eloping so we could do it all over again with you :)

CASSANDRA + JORDAN

Lucy's photos captured our day perfectly and were fun, creative and overall incredible! She always gives us amazing photos and is easy to work with in her quirky yet professional way that only she can do. Her communication is great and she was wonderful at accommodating any of our wishes. We love looking through our photos to re-live our special day and plan to do so for years to come!

MEREDITH + JEFF

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding photographer, look no further – Lucy Schultz is the photographer of your dreams!

We first contacted Lucy after our venue recommended her as a preferred vendor. Her portfolio immediately stood out to us for the relaxed but artful candid-style that predominated her work, the incredible colors, the unique details, and the stunning outdoor scenery that complemented the couples she shot without distracting from them. Her vibe was exactly what we were looking for, and the way her personality shone through on her website drew us in even further. After an Read More initial Zoom meeting (in the dark days of early COVID lockdown, no less), she had answered all of our questions, recommended the perfect engagement shoot site, and made me feel optimistic and excited about wedding planning again despite all the pandemic’s best attempts to derail that! Her candor and easy sense of humor made us both even more convinced that she would be the perfect person to capture the memories of our wedding, and we booked with her immediately following that call.

Neither of us love being photographed, but you would never be able to tell that the final product… Lucy went above and beyond to make us both feel at ease and like we were having a good time from day 1 with our engagement photo shoot. Of course, this day started out with a torrential Colorado mountain downpour. As we huddled under our rain jackets, wondering whether we should postpone, she calmed us down and said, “just give it a minute, I have a good feeling about this.” Sure enough, five minutes later, the rain cleared and the sun brought out a magical double rainbow (which never fails to elicit gasps of awe from the friends and family we continue to share our photos with). I am so glad we did that shoot so we could have a chance to practice working together ahead of our wedding – even though the shoot took place almost a year before our big day, Lucy was meticulous in checking in as the months passed. She made sure to circle back with us close to the wedding date to discuss what we loved the most and which photos didn’t make our top picks so that she could adjust what she shot at the wedding accordingly.

Now the wedding…once again, Lucy went above and beyond for us and made the day easy thanks to her communicativeness and adaptability. Throughout the process of getting ready, she captured the perfect combination of tender and hilarious moments that make me smile every time I look through them. Her adaptability and quick thinking also stood out: we’d planned to take our couple’s portraits a short walk inside Rocky Mountain National Park, but due to road closures in the park, we ended up hiking much further than we thought we would. When things started looking tight on time, and it was clear we wouldn’t make it to the specific site she’d originally had in mind, Lucy ventured off into the forest, literally running through the trees until she found us another option, making it worth the hike and keeping everything on track and on time.

The ceremony and reception passed by in a blur, but thanks to Lucy’s stunning work we’re able to look back on and cherish all the little details that flew by too quickly in the moment. Both my husband and I were especially impressed by Lucy’s handling of the family portraits; we have a huge combined family, but Lucy got us through this part of the process in record time without missing a shot while deftly and delicately navigating the sometimes complicated relationship dynamics she’d made sure to get intel on from us in advance.

Bottom line -- Lucy is an absolute joy to work with, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! We will treasure our wedding photos forever…thank you, Lucy!

MARGOT + WILL

Working with Lucy was fantastic. She added her own wonderful brand of fun and adventure to our ceremony without being intrusive. She was able to capture outstanding photos of every special moment and did so with aplomb. She knew our location well and was prepared for anything Colorado could throw at us. You won't regret working with her and, in fact, will be grateful you did.

RAE + ERIK

Do yourself a favor and book Lucy ASAP! She is amazing and we could not be happier with our experience. We were very anxious about the idea of having a photographer follow us for an entire day, but Lucy was able to make us feel relaxed and natural. We told her we wanted to get married by a lake in the dead of winter and Lucy never skipped a beat. She bundled up, called us crazy, and went on to make our wedding day incredibly fun. Her experience, friendliness, and easy-going attitude made for a wonderful day and ABSOLUTELY stunning photos! We almost want to get married again just to have more Read More photos

LUCY + RICK

This was such a fun and non-stressful experience. I loved all of my pictures(especially the leap-frog ones). She will be taking photos for every occasion in my life. Because of her, I have had the most memorable moment of my life captured.

ALYSSA + JASON

Lucy is just about the most fun person to be around and makes you feel comfortable instantly with her fun, crazy, cat-loving attitude. She comes up with poses and shots that you would never think of on your own and has her own unique style that shines through every picture. My husband and I were so nervous to pick out our photographer, but we knew instantly when we met her that she was the one because we instantly felt like long-time friends. She will give you everything you ever wanted and more from the first photo in your engagement session to the last moment of your wedding day! And she Read More will stop at nothing to get every shot you want (even if that means climbing into and getting stuck in a bush)! Definitely a 10/5 stars experience!

BROOKE + JOSH

BEST.EXPERIENCE.EVER!!! Lucy is incredible at what she does and who she is. Everything we could have asked for and more in a photographer for our wedding (and engagement session) wrapped up into one fun package! Our photos came out amazing and she and her awesome second shooter caught moments we didn’t even realize. They were both professional when needed and super fun when wanted. They managed to fit in with our strange crowd and were able to pivot with the changes in planning due to Covid stuff. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and the images that we are so excited to Read More share with everyone that is willing to look at them. Lucy’s communication is on point and never left us feeling like we were waiting around on any of the details. The lengths and acrobatics she was willing to go to for “the shot” were impressive and terrifying as we scaled some sketch terrain on the side of a mountain. We talk about her constantly and recommend her every chance we get. There is not a single moment we can think of where we wished it had been captured, she is always 10 steps ahead of that idea. We met her by chance, and have been impressed throughout the entire process, and now we are just glad to know her and be part of the fan club! Thank you, Lucy, for helping us fulfill this dream and have the photo evidence of just how epic it was! You truly are a badass!

JAMIE + KELLEY

From the second I met Lucy, she made me comfortable enough to be myself. I wanted a mix of both posed and candid photos, and after meeting Lucy, I knew I was going to get those. Even through this crazy pandemic year, we felt loved every step of the way. From the creative engagement photos at a pumpkin patch, to the COVID care package when we needed to reschedule, to the final wedding day in all of its September snowstorm glory, Lucy was ready to give it her all and make us feel like a million bucks. Her creativity, talent, and professionalism are incomparable (I mean, look at the quality and Read More diversity of her work). Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and spunk make her a joy to work with. We highly recommend!!

MAREN + BRADEN

MAREN + BLAIR

Lucy was great and made the experience so easy and enjoyable. I thought planning a proposal from another state would be stressful, but she helped me pick out the location and made sure it was all set up when we got there. The pictures turned out amazing as well! Highly recommended

NOAH + APRIL

Praise Baby Jesus for Lucy Schultz! I worked closely with Lucy for my engagement photo shoot and wedding day photographs and she is just pure magic. Super easy to work with and just the best attitude EVER. She was flexible when our first wedding venue had to cancel on us due to Covid restrictions and literally flexible by crouching under trees and sloshing on snow chasing after our dogs. Lucy and her staff went above and beyond with beautiful photography and keeping our actual wedding day lighthearted and fun. My favorite pic is the look of triumph plastered on our Best Man's face when he had Read More to rip off my husband's ring since we had it sized too small LOL. Thank y'all so much for making our special day run flawlessly and capturing our memories with such a fantastical eye! Please work with us for all of our future family events, pleasseeeeee? :)

CHARLIE + JUSTIN

Lucy was everything we could have asked for and more! She thoughtfully and thoroughly helped us to plan and Re-plan the day throughout all of the COVID twists and turns. She made us feel so at ease in the whole process and helped encourage us to make the day our own! She was willing to sleep in a van and do a 3.5 mile sunrise hime just to make our day the best it could be! Lucy has such an effortlessly fun personality that makes you feel at ease right away. The pictures turned out perfect!!! She is able to capture both the subjects and the beautiful background without one taking away from the Read More other. We and so grateful for her!!!

CARRIE + BROOK

Lucy was so fun to shoot with. I don’t really love taking pictures, but she made the whole process fun and enjoyable. Not only is she amazing with her camera, but you will be laughing the entire time you are with her. She is absolutely hilarious. She also makes it very comfortable to be yourself in front of the camera. You will not be disappointed if you hire Lucy to take your photos.
