My Approach to Wedding & elopement Photography
I truly believe there is something powerful about seeing your family—your tribe, your loved ones—together in a beautiful, large portrait displayed in your home. It becomes more than just a photo; it’s a daily reminder of your connection, your story, and the people who matter most. When your memories live on your walls, they don’t just decorate your space—they enrich it with love and meaning. That is why I do what I do. :)
ver since I was a young, I have loved taking pictures. Of course, back then it was on the “digital cameras.” Phones were just coming out and a cell phone with a camera was just a thought. I always had my camera in hand and was snapping those important moments that I wanted to remember. Once I got my first nice camera as an adult, photography became an instant hobby and passion.
At some point my hobbies and the things I cared about most became my work. :)
Thank you so much for capturing our day and every emotion that went with it! You really made my photo book dreams come true that I've had since I was a little girl. We were SOBBING when we were looking at these. Thanks again for taking amazing photos and capturing so many beautiful moments!
We can’t stop looking at them. :)

Michelle is so amazing!! The pictures she took captured the fun energy for the day. She made me and my husband/party feel so comfortable when we were taking pictures. She was really good with communication and posing. She catered to all of our out of the box photo requests. She got the pictures back to us earlier than she was contracted to. If you are in the market for someone to make your wedding fantastic she’s your gal!

Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she is also incredibly sweet and personable, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most genuine and heartfelt moments with such ease.
We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone who will bring their vision to life with professionalism, warmth, and artistry!

When you book your Colorado wedding or elopement with Michelle Betz Photography, i'll have you kissing, hugging, skipping, dancing, strolling, maybe twirling if your a twirling kinda girl. We will go with the flow of sunset. I'll be directing and posing, and you will not have to worry about a thing!
I believe your love story deserves to live beyond a screen. That’s why every package I offer includes a photo book, or a large fine art print—so you can enjoy your favorite photos as beautiful pieces of artwork in your home, not just on your phone.
