I am absolutely in love with the photos from my engagement session! A photographer's portfolio is an illustration of the work they do and the vibe they bring, and I could tell from her website that her style was what I was looking for. Plenty of communication before, during, and after so we knew what to expect. My fiancé didn't understand why people would want engagement photos, but ended the session by saying how much fun he had, and the end result speaks volumes. Thank you so much, Jackie! We will use her again and again! read more

The odds that you'll find better photography in Denver is slim to none. Selah's wedding work is amazing-- they get the shots you didn't know you wanted. This is exactly what a great event photographer should do. You didn't come to this review for 'event photographer' theory though did you? You came because life is good. Life is so good you want someone to photograph it, to memorialize it for the rest of time so you can always remember how good it was. But your good life is not just you and your best friends smiling your camera smiles in some stock pose. The photographer we hired from Selah, Jackie, gets well beyond that stuff and manages to capture some essence of what's important, unique, and timeless in the situation. So why listen to me? Because I hired a different company to take my photos the first time and was disappointed with the results. This gives me a standard of comparison (which is more than most people get.) Engaging Selah to take new ones after the fact was a great decision. I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

If there was an iPhone app that made photos look like they were taken by Jackie at Selah photography, it would probably cost $1 billion. Of course that app doesn't exist, and even if it did exist, I couldn't afford it. Fortunately for us there is Selah photography and it doesn't cost anything close to $1 billion. Selah recently did some work for one of my best friends. I was stunned by how they came out. Each and every one of the thirty-ish photographs I saw was a unique, imaginative, and brilliant work of art. It's rare to see a set of photographs that are so complimentary to one another, yet each with their own distinct characteristics. It's one thing to make an emotional connection with photos of people you're already emotionally connected to. That's not an easy task for a photographer, and Selah did an astounding job. What was even more impressive to me was the emotional connection I felt to the complete strangers in the gallery on Selah's website. If you're in the need of a professional photographer you must consider Selah photography. I have never met Jackie, the photographer, so maybe she's a total perfectionist diva artiste, but they say she's not. Even though she could get away it. read more

Jackie and Matt are by far the greatest photographers I have ever worked with. They were so fun, they were professional and most importantly they took amazing photographs. They are so creative and you can tell that they love what they do. Jackie is so sweet and easy to work with and my husband and his groomsmen had a blast working with Matt before we met up for our first look. The photos that they take are not just pictures, they are pieces of art. Together, Jackie and Matt were able to capture every emotion and important moment of the night, which is pure talent. My husband and I got married June 22nd, so we haven't received our final portfolio yet, but I am so in love with the preview that they have put together that I can't stop looking at it and it gets me so excited to see the rest of the photos. They look like they are from some fashion magazine! I recommend Selah Photography to anyone wanting unique and beautiful wedding photographs. read more

Seeing as how our wedding was in St Thomas and we were going to be flying a photographer in, I actually searched the whole country for the photographer I wanted, including NYC and LA. When I stumbled on Jackie's blog, I got literal chills. She was perfect! The best anywhere! I had never seen such genuine emotion captured so well in photos. I teared up looking at photos of people I had never met. Our whole experience with her and Matt was unbelievable. We were immediately comfortable with them. We felt as though they truly GOT us, without knowing us long at all. They are loving, empathetic humans with an uncanny ability to seek out the fleeting moments that mean the most. Our wedding was very small. We had 55 people in the islands with us for 6 days of activities. Jackie and Matt came into our small, mighty group and captured more then I even thought possible. The love, laughter and magic of the occasion JUMP off of the images they took. I have had the photos back for over a month and still can't stop looking at them every night. They told the exact story of how each person felt that day. Not a glossy, posed version of the truth, but how it actually went. It was imperfect and loud and colorful and emotional and real...and they captured it all. Also - the way they present the blog posting and the website itself might have been the best part. It was so easy to share the story and the memories with the people who weren't there and the people who were. The sharing part of all of these could have been a absolute nightmare...but their technology made it sooo easy. Even all of our professional photographer friends were highly impressed with the website and ease of downloading and sharing the images. My Yelp profile pic is one of their shots! The best decision we made for our whole wedding was to invest in Selah Photography. We feel so blessed to have found them. read more

Bottom line: Best wedding photographers you're going to find. Selah doesn't just snap formals, they are artists that capture the moments that define your big day. Beautiful ceremony photos, journalistic reception stills, but what you're really hiring them for is their unique vision when it comes to the bridal party shoot. It's your wedding day and you want the photograph to capture what makes you, you. And the end product? Amazing. You'll swear your photos came straight out of a high-class magazine spread. Don't hire a wedding videographer. Save your money and remember your wedding via the iconic photographs from Selah. read more

Wow! Stunning work. Jackie really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera.

Selah Photography deserves diamond status, but stars will do for now. jackie and matt are incredible. incredible people, incredible photographers, incredible to work with. my husband and i got married in golden and were planning our wedding from afar (san francisco). jackie answered any questions i had promptly and was always checking in through the months leading up to the wedding to make sure i didn't have any other questions/concerns. on the day of the wedding jackie and matt fit right in the mix and you hardly knew they were even off to the side snapping away! matt climbed the roof and a tree at one point to get the perfect shot and let me tell you--it was the perfect shot. (it's now blown up in my in-laws house!) if you are looking for a top photographer in the denver area--seriously--look no further. it'll be a waste of your time. thank you jackie and matt for one of a kind photos! you guys are my favorite! :) read more

All the other reviews are true, Jackie @ Selah Photography is amazing. Not only is she a joy to work with but her final products are breath-taking. We booked her based on Yelp reviews and boy are we glad that we did. We started with an engagement photo shoot and it turned out wonderful. We had the quirky idea of dressing up in very fancy clothing but then performing very domestic activities. Jackie took us to an old school laundromat and a mom'n'pop grocery store and the pictures look awesome. On the day of the wedding, Jackie and her partner took some amazing shots. She really tries to capture the event with a different lens and unique angle, making you wonder, how did she do that?? Bottom line, if you are getting married in Denver, CO and want the best, book Selah now. read more

Had the WORST wedding experience ever. She had NO suggestions for a better picture or place - wound up having our wedding photographs at Red Rocks next to a dumpster...maybe take a look around and suggest something different. read more

Hands down my favorite photographer. Selah Photography photographed my brother's wedding a few years ago, and my family couldn't have been happier with the images. Jackie's unobtrusive style is fantastic. She gets the documentary-style shots I like while helping everyone enjoy the day with her easy-going personality. Her images are a brilliant mix of fine art and photojournalism. Each photo creates an emotion in me, which is why her style is my favorite. From my experience, she's able to get those honest moments because she's able to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend Selah Photography for any photography need: weddings, engagements, children/families, and even her band photography is amazing! read more

WOW. Selah is possibly the best wedding photographer I've ever known. Jackie at Selah took wedding photos for my sister and WOW. I have seen comparable quality, artistry, and the ability to capture a couple's personality and love for one another only once before, by a well-known photographer who charges $20k per wedding. Kudos, Selah. read more

A Selah photography session is such an incredible experience that it's hard to even do it justice with a written review. Doing a photo shoot with Jackie is like getting to take part in some brilliant art project. Whereas some photographers may treat a photo session as just another job--maybe ask you a few questions, check some boxes, and jot down some ideas, Jackie has real creative vision. She knows what will make an amazing photograph and knows just how to pose you to get a good shot. She sees opportunity in something that you will walk past every day and barely notice. The most impressive part, however, is her eye for natural light. Not to mention the fact that she'll climb a tree and balance herself on a branch to get an amazing shot. Jackie is also just really cool and flexible and friendly, in addition to being fantastic at what she does. I would highly recommend Selah Photography to anyone who's looking for some innovative photos and an unforgettable experience. Update: I just saw a preview of the photos from our shoot and I am quite honestly blown away. I had high expectations after being impressed with the experience of the shoot, but all I can say is, wow. These photos somehow capture the indescribable love I feel for my husband, which I didn't expect a photograph to be able to do. The only downside will be trying to decide which ones to frame. read more

What can I say, other than I LOVE LOVE LOVED working with Selah Photography. Jackie is a photographic genius. She took our engagement photos downtown Denver in the winter, and they were very fun and unique. She was very warm and made us very comfortable. She also took our wedding photographs in Boulder, and I treasure every one of them. I've had many family members and friends tell me that they are the best wedding photos they've seen. Jackie has a way of capturing the small moments, the feelings of the day with a truly artful eye. I also have to mention here that Jackie and Ben were very good with their communication. If I e-mailed them, they would get back to me immediately, something that I think is rare. They kept in touch long after they were required to, just to make sure we were still happy with everything. I would whole-heartedly recommend Selah to anyone who wants unique and special photos instead of the standard stock. read more

It's tough to pinpoint my favorite part about working with Selah Photography. Jackie is so easy going and natural, making a photo shoot seem less like a set-up and more like everyday life. Her work is artistic and never cheesy- in fact, I actually feel comfortable hanging her photos on our wall! And we LOVE the way she works with light, textures and shadows, seeing ordinary things in a new way. We hired Selah to shoot for our wedding in 2014, and just worked with her again for newborn photos of our little girl. The photos she took, first when we became a couple and now of our family of three, are artifacts we will cherish forever. She deserves five stars and then some! read more

I can not express enough how awesome this team is. Best decision we made for our wedding, and worth every penny!!! Perfect if you are looking for slightly unconventional amazing shots, thanks you guys!! Leslie Simon, married last night read more

J. Selah's photography is beautiful & artistic. She captures the spirit and personality of the people/things she photographs. She is one of a kind and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

Jackie and Matt are super awesome to work with! They make everything fun and super comfortable and take amazing pictures that really capture the subject. Highly recommended for cool wedding photography -- that and you'll want to frame every single picture from the day! read more

Jackie is amazing. She is so comfortable to work with - when we got done with our engagement photo shoot we both said that we just felt like we'd been hanging out with her for a few hours. We had so much fun! We were blown away by the finished product - she captured us perfectly. Her photos are truly works of art. I could not be happier that we hired her to do our wedding photography! read more

It was amazing working with Jackie and Matt for our engagement session as well as our wedding. As stressful as wedding planning can be, they made their part so easy. The photos we got were great and we're so happy that we went with Selah Photography. There were times during our wedding that I would think to myself, "I hope Jackie or Matt are somewhere they can capture this moment." And sure enough, when the photos came out, I had multiple angles of that exact moment. I couldn't have asked for more and am 100% completely satisfied with working with Selah Photography read more

I wish I could give her 10 stars! Jackie is amazing! She has a true gift for capturing the real emotions of the day. My husband and I are both a little awkward in front of the camera but she made us feel so comfortable and the pictures show it. Her photo-journalistic/artistic pictures are truly stunning and everyone who has seen them are blown away by how gorgeous they are! She also utilizes great technology that make sharing the pictures a breeze. Do yourself a favor and book Selah Photography -- you won't be disappointed!! I really cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

Any sort of wedding planning involves making priorities, and I made photography one of my top ones. Jackie and Matt fulfilled every single one of my expectations and then some. When we first met, Jackie attempted to really get to know us as a couple, explaining to us that she attempts to make all of her photos unique. Throughout the long engagement, she continued to check in with us. As a bride who was pretty insane with schedules and planning, I deeply appreciated Jackie sending us email reminders and updates, ensuring that all of our requests and plans were well documented and prepared for well in advance of the wedding. On the day of our outdoor wedding, rain was pouring. Jackie and Matt were highly spirited pros, helping us jump in and out of the sporadic interims between showers. The only trace of the bad weather was in the clouds in the photos; due to their efficiency and professionalism, despite all of the rain, we managed to get every picture we wanted, and a whole lot more terrific shots. My wedding was one of the best days of my life, and Jackie helped immortalize it in ways that I couldn't do with simply fond memories. Thanks to an amazing team! read more

I cannot say enough good things about working with Jackie. From the communication arranging the shoot, to her willingness in working with my ideas, to her flexibility day of (navigating a small restaurant isn't easy, but she did it with ease and we were much more comfortable than we thought we would be!), to her artistic eye, to her *incredible* final product... everything was perfect. She has my business for life. read more

We viewed wedding photography as not only an investment in capturing the day, but an investment in fine art, which proved more challenging than we realized when we begun sifting through websites looking for the right artist to capture the day. We were so lucky to find Jackie at Selah photography--after meeting with (a lot) of other photographers we finally found the exact match. We have been floored not only by the inspired photos that Jackie takes, but also in her professionalism and attention to detail. She listened intently to what we wanted, asked many questions to get a feel for our "style" and hopes with photography and more than met our expectations with our engagement photos. We can't wait to see the results after the wedding. Highly recommended! read more

We were so glad we chose Selah Photography for our wedding. Jackie was amazing. She and her husband own/run Selah. She spent a lot of time with us beforehand making sure she understood what we wanted from our photos and that her style of photography was the right fit. She is great at capturing moments at your events and in creating artistic memories rather than just having everyone line up after the wedding ceremony just to get pictures of everyone. Jackie is not your standard, run of the mill photographer--she doesn't take generic pictures but rather takes pictures that you will be proud to hang in your house to remember your wedding or other moment years and decades later. She catered to all of our needs and is simply an incredible photographer. We really feel she did a wonderful job with our wedding photos, not to mention she did this less than one month after giving birth to her first child and did some of our shots in the freezing snowy weather. She also had all of the pictures ready within a few weeks afterward. I should also mention that she worked with us to create a price/package that worked for our budget. We really felt like we struck gold with Selah Photography. If we could go back we would definitely choose her again! I only wish we would've found her earlier so she could've done our engagement shoot as well! read more

Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about how our photos (both engagement and wedding) turned out...absolutely incredible. Jackie has such an eye for light, for artistic photos, and for life-telling moments. She captured every great moment of our wedding and somehow she also caught the story behind them. Every person who has seen our album says how beautiful it is, how they've never seen anything like it, and how talented Jackie is. We had a Christmas, winter wedding with a vintage touch, and it was so amazing how she caught those themes throughout the photos. She and Matt worked very well within our timeline even when it changed a few times the day before and the day of the wedding. They were prompt and professional. They also seemed to work well with the videographer, as if they had worked together before, even though they hadn't. It was great getting to know Jackie and her working style during our engagement photo shoot, as it made the wedding day quite smooth and stress free. HIRE HER!!! You won't regret it. read more

We were really amazed with the photos. My wife cried! Our favorites were the ones we didn't even expect to see. She really does capture the moment, not just lining people up and counting to three. Thanks sooo much the memories. read more

Our photographer, Sarah, who works for Selah Photography, did a fantastic job. She matched the exact tone we wanted for our photos and pushed us to try things that we were hesitant on to make sure we had everything covered. Sarah also did a great job of making sure she got the right shots of us and our friends during the reception. Most important, I love the photos. They reflect us and the day as I perceived it and I think she did an amazing job. read more

My new finance hired Jackie to take photos of his proposal and I couldn't be more thrilled with he outcome. Jackie was very easy to work with, I'm told, and day of she was wonderful. We were able to move into a photo session in the space right after the proposal and we have some wonderful photo's now! Jackie has a wonderful eye, the photos were the style that we like - artistic and whimsical. I would highly recommend Selah to anyone considering them. read more

I really couldn't recommend Selah Photography any more highly. We hired Jackie (and her husband Matt as the second photographer on our wedding day) for both engagement and wedding photography. Their work is artistic, beautiful, interesting, and really captures the mood and atmosphere and interactions that made our wedding special and memorable to us. We also of course knocked out all the family portraits in record time, and those too are stunning. We are totally obsessed with our photos, and are already framing many of our prints.(although we don't generally like to have photos of ourselves strewn around, these are just too beautiful!) Anyways, if you want someone who will turn the memories of your wedding day into pieces of ethereal and captivating art, look no further! So happy we went with Selah!! Thanks Jackie and Matt! read more

I'd like to echo everything that's already been said - JACKIE AND MATT ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! They are extremely creative, devoted artists who are an absolute joy to work with. I never thought I was photogenic until I saw the photos Jackie and Matt took of our wedding. And I also never realized how important it would be to have all of those moments captured in such a genuine and creative way. Jackie and Matt have an amazing gift and are able to capture SPLIT SECONDS filled with emotion - a meaningful glance, a blissful smile, just a look in someone's eye that is fleeting and yet somehow, Jackie and Matt manage to capture it (and without being seen or heard!). It was a pleasure - and a real blessing - to have worked with them and I cannot imagine any more beautiful, creative, artistic, brilliant, meaningful, emotion-filled photographs of our wedding. I will be forever grateful that Jackie and Matt so beautifully told the story of our wedding. read more
