Weddings:
Eleanor is an excellent wedding photographer and she has helped preserve the warmth, care, and love of our wedding day. She’s a truly a professional and she helped us create memories that will last us for the rest of our lives. In preparation, Eleanor is thorough and timely. Her communication is efficient and her planning is comprehensive. Eleanor is understanding, hardworking, and kind. As a fellow creative, I can fully endorse Eleanor’s photographic eye, attention to detail, and high-level of composition and composure. Today, my wife and I are celebrating our 1-year anniversary, and we’re fortunate to have such wonderful memories of our celebration last summer. It’s been a fast year but the excitement of our wedding day has yet to burn off. Over the course of the past 12-months, we’ve found ourselves revisiting wedding photo albums and social media pages to relive the outpouring of love shared by everyone involved. Eleanor captured the joys of our wedding down to the finest details, which has helped us preserve and remember everything. My wife and I have found that we appreciate the little subtleties and nuances scattered around the timeline as much (if not more!) as any “big” moment during the day. One year later, it’s truly a gift to have the energy and intimacy of every moment frozen in time. We’re super grateful for Eleanor and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough! —Drew Clark
Eleanor and Ally recently did our wedding pictures. We absolutely LOVED how they turned out. We felt like they reflected our personalities perfectly and they were exactly what we were looking for. Eleanor and Ally are both fun and flexible to work with and even stayed extra time to get pictures of us cutting the cake. I highly recommend Be Boulder Photography!! —Paige Gebert
I am absolutely in LOVE with our wedding pictures! Eleanor was super sweet and always kept in constant communication with me such as the specifics of the picture types we would like to have. She sent me a preview of some of the pictures a few days after the wedding which was perfect! I would definitely recommend Be Boulder Photography to anyone in a heart beat. —Nidya Mariscal
We really enjoyed working with Eleanor. After interviewing several photographers, the choice was made to hire Eleanor for both a Friday night gathering as well as our wedding day. We made the decision in part due to the quality of work she showed us in her portfolio as well as the ability to include an another photographer to capture even more moments. We are extremely happy with the moments she captured. Thank you for letting us relive our special day over and over via the photos —Barb Rogers
We could not be happier with our photos from Eleanor! Eleanor was an absolute joy to work with. From the planning stages to receiving our photos – Eleanor was prompt, professional, and all around a pleasure to work with. Eleanor did our engagement photographs and found the most hidden gem of a location in Boulder for us – as well as made my nervous fiance feel comfortable in his first ever photo shoot! She even managed to include our dog (a last minute addition) into our photos which was so special for us. Eleanor then made the journey from Boulder to Durango to shoot our wedding. Every moment she captured was absolutely magical! She made every picture look like a fairy tale. We received our pictures so quickly after the wedding and have yet to find a single one we don’t love out of the thousands she took! I would highly recommend Be Boulder Photography for your wedding! —Erica Wagner
Eleanor was our photographer for our wedding in June and she was absolutely amazing! Her and her assistant did a fantastic job and we couldn’t be more pleased with our photos. During the wedding day she stayed mainly out of sight and at times I even wondered where she was. But! This was the perfect strategy. Ultimately she was able to capture our private moments together throughout the day without us even knowing she was there! She also captured many many more photos of friends and family enjoying our party. I guarantee that you will love your photos when you book Be Boulder Photography! —Leah Jones
Two weeks before our wedding the photographer cancelled, and on a wing and a prayer I scoured Facebook looking for photographers in the Boulder area. I looked through portfolios and reached out to the few that I thought were a good fit. Did I mention that I live 2000+ miles away from Colorado and how stressful this was? Okay, so I heard back from Eleanor of Be Boulder Photography within 15 minutes of messaging her, told her my dilemma and she said, Yes absolutely I am there for you. I almost cried I was that relieved. We exchanged a few emails and phone calls over the next week clarifying some details. The evening before the wedding, we met in person and she really understood who we were and what we were and weren’t looking for. On the day of our wedding, Eleanor wore my favorite color- purple and that was such a little thing, but it made an impact. She made everyone, including my camera-shy spouse feel comfortable. The photos were available within days of the ceremony and they are stunning. Eleanor captured moments that I can cherish forever. I would recommend Be Boulder Photography to anyone who wants a personalised and perfect experience. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. —Teresa McAllister
Eleanor is lovely and a dream to work with. We met with her beforehand and she captured our vision completely. We wanted fun, candid moments that captured the entirety of our day and she provided exactly what we were looking for. Her photography is unique and personal. We will absolutely work with her again —Jaime Miller
We can’t say enough great things about having Eleanor as our wedding photographer! From planning, to being a lovely and natural part of our wedding day, to the gorgeous photographs we received so quickly after the wedding, she was wonderful! She got all the shots we planned for and those only a true professional would know to get. Our family and friends loved her, and loved the photographs. We get so many compliments. She’s the best! —Christina Meyers Denman
We hired Eleanor for our wedding in Boulder and family photo shoot a few days beforehand. Her photos are all beautiful and she has a special talent for capturing candid shots. She made it fun for my kids and she was able to let all of the guests be themselves and shine. Her services were affordable and she quickly provided with beautiful photos of our family and friends. —Anthony Cappocia
Eleanor did a fantastic job – she was so easy to work with, and her pictures were amazing! She captured so many wonderful memories from my wedding, I couldn’t thank her enough! Will be sure to recommend her to everyone I know!!! — Megan Patterson
One piece of advice I was given in planning our wedding was to work with vendors I loved – and that was certainly true with Eleanor. We loved working with her and we love our photos. We had an outdoor wedding and there were so many shots possible and she captured all the important ones, from the setting to the families to the special moments. I didn’t even see the cake until I saw Eleanor’s picture of it! This is testament to her creativity and professionalism, because the only request we voiced when we met Eleanor was not to pull us away from the guests for hours of photos. She guided us through the process and we trusted her talent…we feel so lucky to have the beautiful photos she took.— Ginger Collings
I LOVE my wedding photos! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! Eleanor asked me beforehand what I was looking for, even did a walk through with me at our venue before the wedding so that we could plan out portraits and the timeline of the wedding. Looking at the photos…our family portraits (which were SO important to me) were gorgeous! And the candid shots captured how much fun everyone had…lots of smiles and dancing. I had the best time at my wedding and have the photos to prove it…thanks Eleanor! —Jezebel Corpuz
My husband and I’s experience working with Eleanor was simply put —a 10. From start to finish, she was thorough, thoughtful and organized. Our photos came out gorgeous. She made us very comfortable during the First Look photo session, and she didn’t miss a beat in capturing all the small details we worked so hard to create for the day. The stylistic quality of the photos matched the feel of our wedding completely. She captured nearly every guest, piece of decor and moment of our wedding day. I was blown away with how beautiful the photography and how quickly we received a sneak peak and the full gallery. —Jessica McGee
Eleanor was the most perfect wedding photographer. She captured the entire day with love, with creativity, and with incredible artistic flair. She was organized, reliable, and professional. We love her work and highly recommend her for your wedding day. —Rola Awad
Families:
We just recently did our 5th shoot with Eleanor and as always it was fantastic. Eleanor has great suggestions on locations that highlight the amazing beauty of Colorado. This year we had 4 kids and 2 dogs and Eleanor was able to capture special moments in the chaos while keeping the kids engaged and excited. Her casual approach allows her to capture the true essence of your family – we couldn’t be happier with our photo shoots across the years. —Mandy Sladden
Eleanor was so easy to work with! She instantly made our family feel comfortable, took her time to make sure we achieved what we wanted from the shoot and we loved the images we received! —Cristina Parcells
How does she capture this light in every shot? I’m so happy with my photos, as well as my whole experience shooting with Eleanor. She is so kind and thoughtful (and talented!) in all that she does. —Vanessa Richetti
Eleanor is AMAZING! My husband & I didn’t like the way our wedding photos turned out (since we got married on a cruise boat & had to use their photographer). So we hired Eleanor to take couples photos of us & I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! She is so incredibly talented!!!!! —Sara Schell
Eleanor was the perfect photographer for our son’s bar mitzvah. Professional, creative, and responsive! The photos were amazing. —Linnea Kriszan
Eleanor was amazing!! She was professional and relaxed. She came to our home to photograph our newborn (she was five days old). It couldn’t have been more perfect. We now have pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. I can’t thank her enough! —Katie Coles
We have had several great experiences with Eleanor. She did our engagement photos at Red Rocks and has photographed our family when we had a 6-month old and most recently when our second was a newborn. We are never disappointed. I love that we can go to her studio, our house or anywhere in between. She’s creative with her shots and props and works well with children and pets. Her turn around time is very quick. She also designed our birth announcements and we’ve gotten rave reviews! —Jacquie Hemphill
Eleanor is an amazing photographer. She is so patient, creative and has a wonderful eye. She did a session with my new baby and myself. The baby cried or was fussy most of the time, yet she got at least 60 beautiful pics with no tears or red face, quite an accomplishment. She truly captured the essence of who we are and I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life! Thank you, Eleanor, I will be calling you for several years to come to document my little Charlie’s life in pics! —Heather Zapletal
Eleanor took the best photos I have ever had taken of my children. A 10, 7 and 2 year old! She made it look effortless and my children loved being around her. We took all photos at our home and in our yard. She captured sweet moments and amazing backgrounds. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was and how happy I am! —Kaye Krebs
Eleanor’s ability to work with natural light, children and families is second to none. She has a true skill for finding heart-melting, authentic moments and effortlessly captured the details of our day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy (and a joy) to work with, and is a beast behind the camera! —Ashley Gaffney
Eleanor is incredible. The hour of family photos, with a 4 & 6 yo, were a piece of cake. Our girls loved the experience, and Eleanor was able to capture some stunning photos! We were also in a time crunch to receive the proofs, and we had them in less than a week. I can’t say enough how easy she made the whole process. —Myria Crawford
Eleanor is such a dream to work with! We had to schedule a mini-reshoot (thanks to some bad weather), and Eleanor was incredible accommodating and understanding – she definitely puts her clients first! Her eye for detail and locations is impeccable. Our family pictures turned out beautiful and we will cherish them forever! We will definitely use Eleanor again for our future photography needs. —Amber English
Eleanor is a wonderful photographer—so easy to work with and great at getting the kids to feel at ease. We hadn’t had family photos taken in several years and I had high hopes for our shoot. Eleanor totally came through with awesome portraits of my boys and several fun family shots for holiday cards and gifts. Highly recommend! —Samantha Berman
Eleanor did a photo shoot for our family… helped us choose the location and even helped us choose good outfits! During the shoot we moved around to different well-thought out locations with different configurations with the various family members. The final products were amazing! Great use of natural light and shots I never would have thought of. Great job! —Scott Semple
Eleanor photographed our family of 6 (4 kids, one being a one week old newborn) and did a phenomenal job. She is calm and easy going. She is able to go with the flow and work with each personality easily which allowed my kids to feel completely comfortable in her presence. She is creative, talented, and professional- highly recommended! —Megan Vacco
Eleanor did our family photos and made it very very easy, especially with 3 kids and 2 dogs. We couldn’t of been happier with quality of photos. Thanks for making family photos fun! The Smith Family —Lance Smith
Eleanor is awesome to work with — flexible, professional, sharp-eye, and reasonable rates too. She has done kid and family portraits for us and was very accommodating with our crazy toddler, who she still managed to get great shots of despite his obstinance. —Anne Gibson
Eleanor is our go-to photographer for only one kind of photos: Capturing moments and people who really matter. The fact she’s so easy to work with is just a bonus. —Steve Gibson
Eleanor is an amazing family photographer! She is patient and lets the kids have fun which make for spectacular candid shots. We have a hallway full of framed photographs that we have accumulated over the years that highlight her experience, style, and timing. —Patrick Winfield
