On day of photo shoot, he was on time, professional, kind, and just overall easy to talk to. He has a very cool and calm demeanor and just made us feel comfortable. He was great with our as well (5 and 3 year old) As far as photos, FANTASTIC!! He captured so many beautiful photos both candid and impulsive images that were beautiful. It was snowing that day in Vail and he managed to capture every image beautifully. Our photos looked like a Christmas card. So beautiful! He finished a few days before he had originally promised which is a bonus! Thank you Marc!!!

We honestly had a lot of fun with them at an engagement shoot and our pre-wedding ceremony photoshoot in the mountains, hiking around in our wedding clothes! Their shots came out great and they sent us the full gallery just 1 week after our wedding. The services are pretty expensive, but they are very up front with pricing and it is on par with other photography services. We were happy we had 2 photographers instead of 1.

This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

Looking for a photographer to take great photos of the family/wedding or special occasion? You need…read moreto check out Katarina Layla Sky. Katarina has done a great job over the years helping talking photos for my family. She took pictures of my family with my mother when she was in an assisted living property and moved us to the outside where there were flowers that highlighted all of us. I'm also not talking about 5 to 10 pictures. I have 119 to choose from. These were both all the family and single pictures. Katarina also gave us other "poses" to "deal" with making the entire experience fun and the pictures were great. Some of the unusual pictures have come in very handy for other electronic post cards that we can send under different heading like "you did what"? Or you must have looked like this when you did that. Katarina also took the photos at my daughter's wedding. The usual poses were there but in her usual fashion she had the participants at times they least expected it. She did these stealthily and brought memories back after the wedding was over to enhance the enjoyment of everyone. Of course, my favorite is of the families with my daughter and my son-in-law together. However, a very close 2nd is when she got into a position where I was leaning on a statue of a cow, my daughter and son-in-law closer to her in the front and it looks like I'm talking to the cow about the current happenings. The entire family noticed how the cow was listening intently! She was a pleasure to work with and never took for granted the feelings of all the participants. You will love working with her.

She also took some family photos before my grandmother passed before my wedding. She is one of the only people who has managed to catch my mother with her eyes open - a rare feat. Again, she managed to catch wonderful moments, made all the more special as it was while my grandmother was still doing well, and so makes a great memory.

I purchased a Groupon for Dream In Blue Photography as research to find the best Denver boudoir…read moreexperiences for my clients. Personally, I have never had a male boudoir photographer and decided to give Mark a try. I recently had surgery and this was my first boudoir shoot after recovery, so this was a special occasion! Booking and completing the online consultation was easy. I had the advantage of already being familiar with boudoir, but for anyone who is hesitant to try for whatever reason, the virtual consult is sure to put your nerves at ease. My first impression of Mark was that he is very professional and respectful. You can tell that his mission is clear and he wants his clients to have full control over what they want out of boudoir. Everything was explained clearly and I was left with zero questions. On the date of the shoot, I was able to find Mark's studio with ease. There is ample parking as it is in a neighborhood, and the unit itself is located in a gated condo community. He came down to greet me. Upon entering the unit, I was greeted by his makeup artist and she got straight to work while Mark went upstairs to give us privacy. Both Mark and the artist made me feel very comfortable and, bonus points -gave me deejay power. The makeup artist was very flexible and didn't ask a slew of questions when I told her that I didn't have any expectations. I don't own a lot of makeup and wearing it is even more rare, so it was a nice change of pace to have someone truly use my face as a canvas. I am super pleased with the results and was able to wear it to dinner that same night! As for the shoot itself, Mark conveyed his instructions well while considering what I wanted from the shoot. At no point did I feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or insecure. He encouraged taking my time and didn't force me to do anything that I didn't want to do or was physically incapable of doing because holy cow -boudoir is a workout. Anyway, it took a little while for photo editing but it was worth the wait! An additional appointment was required for the reveal, and it was very challenging to pick my favorites since Mark did an amazing job. As for payment, Mark was super patient and understanding with me despite a few financual curveballs. Once paid in full, I received my boudoir photos, elegantly displayed in a photo album. The extra goodies (chocolate and a yeti cup) lends a luxurious feel, all packaged in a gift bag. Everything was so well done! I am pleased to report that the entire process from start to finish was effortless, and I highly recommend Dream In Blue Photography!

We wanted a photographer local to the area who knew our venue well and could guide us to the best locations for photos--and Sarah was exactly that and more. From the moment we met her for our engagement session, we clicked instantly. Even my husband (who is not big on photos, haha!) said the experience went far better than he expected and that he was genuinely happy we had hired her. Leading up to the wedding, we had a few virtual meetings to make sure everything was organized. Sarah and John exceeded every expectation. She came prepared for absolutely everything--down to packing umbrellas in case of rain--and she even bustled my dress faster than anyone at the reception! Sarah is not only an exceptional photographer but also a truly wonderful human being. My family and wedding party had nothing but amazing things to say about working with her. We could not recommend her enough. Easiest 5+ stars of our lives! We hope to see her this winter on the slopes--and we won't hesitate to reach out again whenever we need more photos. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

Despite having to cancel our big September wedding, she worked with us to make our elopement so special and memorable. Our photos are pure magic! Every single one captured us and our love perfectly. Mostly because she took the time to get to know us and make us feel completely comfortable, even though we're two socially awkward people! Her services are the best money my husband and I have ever spent. If you're looking for the best photographer in Denver, and well, in my opinion, the country, Sarah, is the one!!
