GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I am so excited you are interested in choosing me to document your wedding! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and someone who eventually becomes a friend.
I am a professionally taught fine art wedding and engagement photographer based in Northern Colorado. I love natural light and believe that proper lighting is the power behind good photographs. I strive to create beautiful images that are classic, true to color, and will share your love story for years to come.
My husband, Taylor, and I were married in March of 2019, so I understand the stage of life you’re in, and I’m happy to help however I can! We currently live in Fort Collins with our sweet pup, Ruby, and a baby on the way. When Taylor and I are not photographing weddings, we love working on our house, cooking, reading, and spending time in the mountains. I am so thankful for the career that I have, and I love getting to know each and every couple I have the opportunity to work with!

“Working with Hillary on our wedding day was a dream. I’m not a huge fan of having my picture taken (but knew this was a day I’d want photographed!) and Hillary made me feel so comfortable all day long. When it came to photos at our wedding I was probably a lot less prepared than most, but Hillary went with the flow the whole time and then captured every single detail I could have possibly wanted but had forgotten to specify. I love going back through our photos and am just so thankful that Hillary was there to capture everything from the big moments to the smallest details. If your goal is beautiful photos and working with someone who will feel more like a friend than a vendor, I cannot recommend Hillary Shedd Photography enough.”

“We had a smaller wedding and knew we only wanted a photographer there for a few hours. We were worried that our time limits would also limit the quality of photos, but thankfully we found Hillary. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment she arrived and was able to blend in with our small community. We could not be happier with our wedding photos and are so thankful Hillary documented our day.”

“Where to start with this WONDERFUL photographer! From the get-go, she was prompt in response times, inviting from the initial interaction, and extremely helpful with making suggestions for Fort Collins locations for our engagement shoot. My fiancé and I had no idea what to expect, and were blown away when we met her and throughout the entire photoshoot. We did two different locations, in Old Town Fort Collins, and at Horsetooth and both spots turned out incredible in so many photos! We felt so comfortable and the entire time she gave a perfect balance of direction, but letting us do our ‘thing’ in what felt natural to us. We received all our photos less than 2 weeks after, which talk about a quick turnaround! Both my fiancé and I felt like we’ve known Hillary for years and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a Colorado wedding photographer! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Hillary took our engagement photos at Piney River Ranch in Vail and we are absolutely obsessed with how stunning they came out! Not only was she hilarious, but she made my fiance and I feel totally special, glamorous, and at ease during the entire shoot. On top of everything, her turn around time for editing and getting us our photos back was so quick. 10/10 would recommend her for your photoshoot needs!”

The Process
FROM the first conversation to delivering your images
After attending more than a hundred weddings over the past few years, I’ve found that I’m not the perfect fit for every couple. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. I want to hear everything–how you met, funny first date stories, and how you got engaged. We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, answer any questions you may have about working with me, and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.
If we are a great fit, the next step is to reserve your date with a signed contract and a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. From there, we’ll begin planning your engagement session if your collection includes one. There might be a few months between your session and your wedding, but I am always around to answer questions throughout the planning process (I know it’s a lot to think about!)
About two months before your big day, I’ll check in again with a pre-wedding questionnaire to help finalize your timeline, create your ideal shot list with you, and to make sure I am fully prepared to photograph your most important moments. Your wedding will be beautiful, and you won’t have to worry about photography on the big day. We’ll do all the prep work beforehand, and you can trust me to get the shot.
After the wedding, I will edit all of your images, and within 4 weeks, meet up with you in person for a grand photo reveal, complete with wine and cookies! If an heirloom album is part of your collection we will also use this time to design it together. You will leave your photo reveal session with all of your high-resolution digital negatives in online gallery that you can share with family and friends, as well as download and keep forever.

Engagement Sessions
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living, and I still always feel a little out of place when I’m in front of a camera, rather than behind it.
I’m a big fan of engagement sessions for a couple reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand my style. Timelines can be pretty tight on wedding days, and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits – which is why I’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples also do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, they give you a chance to celebrate how you got to where you are as a couple by showing off your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you–and can even include pets! Don’t worry, I’m here to help along with my detailed Engagement Guide. While engagement photos are great for save-the-dates, I’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
Heirloom Albums
One of the best ways to ensure your wedding memories last a lifetime and longer is by creating an heirloom album to share with future generations.
These aren’t the same albums your parents’ wedding photos came in. They are high quality, professionally designed, and come in a variety of linen, leather, and velvet covers. Plus, they’re modern, lay perfectly flat, and will look incredible on your coffee table.
