A black and white candid moment of joy at an outdoor wedding celebration.

"Amy and josh are magical. They are professional, but blend in any event as family. They give you the best quality product. They are so passionate and care as much about capturing the best memories as you do. They think of everything and come prepared. I can’t thank Amy enough for shooting my wedding. No words will ever suffice, the memories they captured are forever."


"Magic   captured by Amy Zuniga, per usual. (Seriously guys, I can’t recommend her and josh enough. Not only are they wonderful photographers, but they are just the most genuine human beings and I’m honored to know them and call them friends) love the absolute magic Amy and josh managed to capture from the best day of my life I definitely recommend checking her out if you need photos of any kind! I legitimately cried going through these  they’re amazing. Your work is stunning and sooo meaningful"

"Josh and Amy took our engagement photos in lake city and even the preliminary photos we got looked great. They were very flexible in getting a time a slot for me and were easy to communicate with.

COREY 07/15

A couple laughs together while hiking in the mountains on a sunny day.

"Amy and Josh were an absolute delight to work with! They talked with us first by phone to plan our engagement shoot and figure out which options (they have many!) were the best for what we wanted. We were able to go to multiple locations both in Ouray and Ridgway and they helped us feel more natural for our first time doing a photo shoot. I wish they lived closer so they could shoot our wedding - could not recommend them enough!!"

A family group portrait in black and white on a snowy winter day.

"Family came all together for thanksgiving in 2023 and I only had 1 day to do a photoshoot. Contacted Jade and Copper and they were amazing. Not everyone would even reply this quick let alone agree to do the shoot. They made everything super easy, choosing locations that are close and making everyone in the family super comfortable during the shoot. Love their process, they payment and way photos get released. And they under promised and overdelivered both on photos and timelines. Highly recommend."
