HEY HEY PARTY PEOPLE – THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

 

My name is Lyndsey, the leading lady behind the lens and owner of LLPHOTO + CO (Lyndsey Leach Photography). My two home bases are Denver and Breckenridge, CO but travel often and will go wherever the camera takes me. I LOVE working with laid back humans (and your dogs) who are down to be real, have fun, do some cool shit, and share some laughs.

Storytelling through photographs is what I am passionate about! The raw, real, and emotional moments are what I deliver. Every experience is unique and is tailored to exactly what YOU are looking for. I want to climb up a mountain at sunrise with you! I want to take family photos in your backyard because it is a special place where you spend time together! I want to take your elopement photos on a beach in Bora Bora – and you bet, I will get in the water with you! I want to make your vision come to life. 

If you feel like the vibe is right and you are drawn to my work, I would love to be your Colorado wedding photographer (or portrait photographer) ! PS. Not just Colorado, I just had to put that for SEO purposes 🙂 If you don’t know what SEO means, feel lucky that you don’t have to worry about it.

Cheers!

| COLORADO WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER |

I know, I know… having 4 specialties really isn’t the kind of thing that I should advertise from a marketing perspective, but here we are…. The fact of the matter is, is that I really love photographing, weddings, elopements, boudoir, and general lifestyle work. The is no way around it. I like people (haha most of the time). The “experts” say you should niche down and just focus on one, but this non-expert disagrees. My wedding and elopement work is a blend of photojournalism and documentary, with a little lifestyle thrown in from time to time. My portrait work is a blend of documentary and lifestyle.  

 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFESTYLE, DOCUMENTARY, AND PHOTOJOURNALISM PHOTOGRAPHY?

PHOTOJOURNALISM: Documenting a story without bias

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY: Documenting the story you want to photograph

LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY: Documenting a story while inserting yourself in the scene with ideas and prompts

ART IS SUBJECTIVE, let’s be honest. I am NOT the best photographer and I will never be. I don’t know that I could even begin to “pinpoint” who the best photographer is.

But I can tell you what makes good artwork in my eyes:

seeing a photograph or series of photos and YOU are able to TELL THE STORY WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING THERE and… you can FEEL WHAT IS WAS LIKE BEING THERE.

I will always strive to do both.

Colorado Wedding Photographer | The photograph shows two young flower girls walking down the aisle at a wedding. They are holding wicker baskets that are filled with flowers and throwing the flowers on the outdoor aisle as they walk towards the altar. The girls are dressed in lacy white, bohemian style dresses. They have on jean jackets and tan brimmed hats.

TO ME, GREAT WORK IS BEING ABLE TO TELL THE STORY OF THE DAY WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING THERE. I WANT ALL OF MY WORK TO TELL YOUR STORY. YES, I PROMISE TO TAKE THOSE POSED COUPLES AND FAMILY PORTRAITS, BUT MOST OF MY WORK IS DOCUMENTARY STYLE OR PHOTO-JOURnALISTIC.

Colorado Wedding Photographer | The photograph is of a couple at their summer wedding at Piney River Ranch outside of Vail, Colorado. The couple is standing on a dock at sunset looking at the camera smiling. The background has beautiful mountain scape with alpenglow hitting the mountains perfectly.

colorado ElopementS

 

Colorado Elopement Photographer | Pictured is in elopement at a golf course outside of Beaver Creek, Colorado. The couple and their immediate families are all standing on the golf course, which overlooks a huge valley. It was a windy day so the bride's veil was flailing about. At this moment, the bride's sister is adjusting the bride's veil.

Elopements are amazing because they are generally much more intimate that most weddings (not all but most). Couples that have no guests or minimal guests at their ceremony, tend to be more expressive in their thoughts and desires about their ceremony and how they want to spend their day. I love photographing people in their element, especially when their day is completely about the couple.

Colorado documentary photographer | The photograph shows a little boy working on a mask, which he is making out of cardboard. Him and his mom had just cut the eyes out of the cardboard and the little boy is holding up the unfinished mask to make sure it fits his face.

Whether we are capturing your family, your engagement session, or a maternity session, we are going to have the best time! We are going to have fun and everything is going to be tailored for you and your loved ones.

HEY HEY. HI. HELLO. HOLA.

IT’S ME – YOUR MOSTLY PURPLE HAIRED (THOUGH SOMETIMES GREY) PHOTOGRAPHY FRIEND. I PHOTOGRAPH PEOPLE AND EVENTS. I AM KIND OF BILLINGUAL… MAYBE A BIT MORE CONFIDENT IN MY SPANISH THAN I SHOULD BE. 

I BELIEVE THAT I AM ANYTHING BUT BORING (HAHA OTHERS MIGHT DISAGREE).

DENVER, CO IS MY HOME AND WHERE I GREW UP. YOU CAN FIND ME HERE HALF OF THE TIME AND THE OTHER HALF OF TIME YOU CAN FIND ME ADVENTURING IN THE MOUNTAINS, EXPLORING NEW PLACES, OR WORKING IN UNIQUE DESTINATIONS.

Studio Boudoir | Colorado Boudoir Photographer

IF i had a favorite type of photography or a favorite thing to photograph, then I would do that one thing. I got into boudoir photography in 2017, just to try it out and i completely fell in love. Boudoir is so much different than events or any other type of lifestyle portraiture and i love it. I love the differences, I love that it is such a different experience with every single person. I love watching people transform in front of the camera. It is very special.

LINDSAY + BILLY | DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS WEDDING | COLOrado wedding photographer

 

These two had a gorgeous summer wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens in Denver last year. The day was filled with lots of love, great friendships, family, great food, homemade beer, all the florals, baseball trophies, Birkenstocks, bowties, and lottttsss of tequila shots! To learn more about their day and having a wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens, click the link below. 

TIP NUMERO UNO

Acknowledging that most weddings are incredible wasteful and that we have the opportunity and power  to change that. Work with vendors that actually give a shit and that are doing something.

TIP NUMERO 2:

Keep things “as local as possible” to your wedding day location. Support the local economy and reduce the travel footprint of your vendors. Reuse decor from past local brides and grooms.

TIP NUMERO 3:

Consider enviromental and socioeconomic impacts of the location that you choose for your wedding or elopement. Is the land and enviroment suitable to host ceremony or wedding? Is this beneficial to the local community?

Sustainability

I am veryyy passionate about keeping a low carbon footprint and I strive to run my businesses the same way… let’s be real, we should all be frantically changing our habits to help save this planet.  If this is something you choose to not think about or are an “ignorance is bliss” kinda human, then I definitely recommend you checking in with your privilege going down the Google rabbit hole because what you are going to find isn’t good.

If you are overwhelmed, that’s ok because it is a very overwhelming topic. Acknowledging that climate change is real is the first step and then learning how to take action, appropriately, is the next step. $$ talks and investing your money into items, businesses, and people that do their part is FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC. 

By no means am I an expert on this stuff, but I am knowledgeable and want to share all of my practices, areas where I can improve, and just general info and sustainability and how I apply things to my business, my own life, and to weddings/events/portraiture. I know this is not the most exciting topic, unless you nerd out to this stuff like I do, but I think it’s really important to educate yourself about what a wasteful industry we are in and what we can do to help.

Yes, I am mean very wasteful!

Client Testimonials

"We hired Lyndsey for a photoshoot for our new yoga studio and the results were outstanding! Not only did she take beautiful head shots of our staff (and coach them all so they would look like their best and most relaxed selves) she captured gorgeous photos of one of our classes that truly conveyed the feeling of being in a class. As an added bonus she took shots of our retail section and some fun group photos of us to use for social media. Overall I was impressed with her ability to take such a variety of shots so beautifully when other photographers I have worked with before usually have one style they excel at. Lyndsey was lovely, efficient, professional and everything we were looking for in a photographer. We plan to hire her to capture all of our milestone events moving forward!" ​
"My wife and I have had the privilege of Lyndsey do many different pictures for us. We could not have been happier with the results of the pictures. She can do everything. She brings the beauty out in every picture and it shows in her work. Lyndsey has done our wedding pictures, maternity pictures, delivery pictures, and pictures of when our boy turned one. Thank you Lyndsey for all the work you put in. We could not be happier with our pictures and will cherish them for a long time."
"We took family photos this past weekend, and I’m obsessed. Thank you so much to, Lyndsey Leach, for these beautiful memories! You captured them perfectly."
“Lyndsey is awesome! She is super friendly and easy to work with. The photo shoot was so much fun and the pictures look amazing! I can’t wait to work with her again! Thank you so much Lyndsey.”
